Elise is a small-town adventurer making a living completing quests posted in the town tavern. During a routine job, she finds a girl collapsed by the side of the road. Not one to leave a person in distress behind, Elise carries the girl back to town. One thing leads to another, and the girl, Rose, ends up living with Elise. The two adapt quickly to living with each other, and the townspeople are charmed by the village's new resident. But Rose is no ordinary girl, and the secrets of her past will soon draw into an adventure far grander than her usual odd jobs.
