Story
A religious cult called Mushikago no Niwa that secretly developed hidden human potential existed in the past. However, one such person, whose potential was unleashed, rose in rebellion. After the cult was destroyed, the members dispersed and only the rumour of a vast fortune on the cult’s grounds is whispered in the underworld. Nanami is a go-between and trades information with people of the underworld. One day, he meets Kagoroku who happens to be there when he is in a tough spot in a secret deal on Mushikago no Niwa-related goods with a designated criminal organisation. Kagoroku cajoles the men and gets Nanami and his goods out safely. The two of them eventually team up to solve all sorts of issues. They get involved in a fight between the former Mushikago no Niwa members that went through human experiments and the people of the underworld over the mystery of the cult’s assets.

Suzuki Hiroki as Kagoroku
A mysterious guy who is remarkably skilled and strong. He is honest, straighforward and has a strong sense of justice, but this also causes trouble around him. As a result, he keeps getting fired from jobs and is particular about money. He is also very obsessed with food.
Kiyohara Sho as Nanami
An underworld broker who serves as an intermediary for work and information. He is glib and but deep down he trusts no one. He only treats an amnesiac young girl Yana whom he lives with kindly. He plots to get his hands on Mushikago no Niwa’s assets.
