Kyōhei, a university student, has moved to Tokyo from his old village to try to forget his unpleasant memories of certain events. One evening he goes on a group date with his friends, including his old neighbor and fellow student, Hibino. Later that night, he and Hibino discover a dead, bloody body in an elevator. Unexpectedly, his younger sister, Utao, arrives at his apartment with her kakashi that was once his kakashi, and tells him that his former friend Aki and his own kakashi are responsible. After their encounter with Aki, Hibino learns that her father is from "Karakami" village, the same village as Kyōhei, Aki and Utao and the origin of the kakashi. She later accompanies them to "Karakami" village, and finds out many things about the village and the kakashi, as well as Kyōhei, Aki, and Utao.
