    Bai An'an, an ordinary sophomore girl in high school, is haunted by nightmares and inexplicable fears. She accidentally discovers the unknown truth in the city - wishes and filth coexist, and masked swordsmen and wish messengers guard the world in the shadows. Timid and cowardly, she encounters the mysterious swordsman wearing a smiling mask and the teacher Twiggy who hunts dirty beasts again and again, and is forced to get involved in the supernatural battlefield. The memory has been erased repeatedly, but the body remembers the fear; he obviously just wants to go to school safely, but he is attracted by the "power of wish". From being a coward in panic to choosing to stand up and protect the people she wants to protect, this is a growth story of an ordinary girl picking up courage and taking on responsibilities in a dark city. There are passionate battles, delicate bonds, and the most real struggle and tenderness of ordinary people when facing fear. Hb
