The protagonist Flynn attends the "Ceremony of the Gauntlet" in East Mikado to become samurai. In the ranks of the newly appointed samurai are Walter, Jonathan, and Isabeau, whom Flynn had met in a dream before.

At the same time, a Black Samurai is causing chaos throughout Mikado by giving the Casualries books and thus knowledge which turns them into demons. The new Samurai confront her in Kiccigiorgi but she escapes, and they are given a mission to hunt her down and stop her.
