Plot
"
Tenwakuni. It is a country rich in nature surrounded by the Tenwa Mountains that draw a huge circle and the Tenwa no Kikai that spreads within it. In this country, one problem has been raised since half a month ago. There have been a series of incidents in which a group of shinobi called Koga, who holds a fort deep in the forest, attacks villages and travelers and robs them of their loads. Koga was originally a group whose livelihood was to exterminate monsters, and it was unthinkable to attack villages and innocent people. ── Until now. After a year of training, Kunoichi Koga's Minamo, who returned to Tenwakuni, was shocked to hear about the current situation of Koga. "Koga doesn't do that!" I try to get the truth, but it doesn't go well by myself. That's why a woman visited this country. The name is Asuka. A swordfighter who is still young but continues to be a practice wanderer. Asuka came to this country to meet friends Shiren and Koppa who once met the travel guide. And Asuka reunites with the nostalgic weasel Koppa in the rich rural area Izayoi no Sato and learns about the incidents happening in this neighborhood.

Koga
Set in Tenwakuni. During the trip, Asuka stops at Jurokuya no Sato, a small rural village in a country rich in nature called Tenwakuni, and reunites with the narrative Itachi Koppa who was staying there. In the country, there have been a series of incidents in which the Koga Ninja army, which originally used to exterminate monsters as a livelihood, seem to have recently started attacking travelers. After seeing the upset villagers, Asuka decides to head towards Koga's Castle, the base of the Koga Ninja Army, to find out why he has changed suddenly.
Hachimaten
Trouble happened in the festival; it cannot be held because the "festival's equipment" required for the famous "Reeva Festival" has been stolen by a monster called Hachimaten. Along with the large number of visitors who gathered under the shrine maiden Koyori, the organizer of the festival, Asuka is also called to the "Trial of ..." by one of the Eight Beast Gods, besides the God of Trade, Sakai, in order to recover the ritual vessels.
