Creatures from the Crimson Realm keep penetrating Misaki City, siphoning vital energy from people while the city"s heartbeat weakens. To counter this danger, Flame Hazes are assigned to shield citizens from vanishing to preserve their life force. Yet while a Flame Haze"s role is protection, Shana—the "Flame‑Haired Blaze‑Eyed Tracker"—appears to concentrate on one person destined to change: Yuuji Sakai, a teen accidentally pulled into the clash between Crimson Creatures and Flame Hazes. From their first meeting, Shana has begun to regard Yuuji as more than a companion and wonders about future paths. In truth, Yuuji suspects that Shana may have confessed her feelings to him once but doubts linger due to ambiguity. Still deeply, their routine continues until a new transfer student appears at their school—someone who closely resembles an old foe raising questions about past battles. Yuuji and Shana cannot afford to postpone their emotions; their bond feels fragile while enemies from the Bal Masqué plot their next strike, they must stay alert as they investigate the source of the prized mystical item hidden inside Yuuji"s body, the "Midnight Lost Child" to keep it safe today.
