Laika and Flatorte, the newest member of the family, are constantly bickering. Their tribes do have a history of conflict, but it seems the fact that they haven't been eating as much meat lately is contributing to their irritability. Just then, Natalie from the guild arrives and tells them about a quest to get rid of a massive number of longhammer boars, the perfect quest to fill their hungry bellies...

One day, a girl with rabbit ears comes to the village of Flatta. This nameless, unpopular minstrel, who strums her lute fiercely with her bare fingers and sings with a death growl, is known as Schifanoia. When she passes out in the middle of her concert, Azusa is reminded of the sad stories she's heard of young men who moved to Tokyo hoping to make their major debut, but instead turn into job-hopping middle-aged men playing in bands that never make any profit. So she invites Schifanoia to live at the house in the highlands for a while, but when she just keeps making excuses and refuses to see reality, Flatorte loses her patience...
