When a typical high‑schooler Aoba Watase is abruptly targeted by a colossal machine called a "Valiancer," he is rescued by his enigmatic classmate Hina Yumihara. After confessing that she and the mechanical foe originate from the future, Hina instantly thrusts Aoba forward 70 years to save his life. Arriving in the midst of a clash between the Free Pact Alliance (FPA) and Zogilia Republic, Aoba finds himself inside the cockpit of a Valiancer named "Luxon." He demonstrates strong compatibility with FPA pilot Dio Weinberg, and together they execute a successful "coupling," sharing memories that boost their skills and power. Though Aoba survives the sudden engagement, he is seized by the FPA vessel Cygnus for questioning. While his primary worry is whether he can ever return home, he remains unaware that he will soon be entangled in a global conflict. The Luxon"s systems are unfamiliar, but Aoba quickly adapts, feeling the hum of its core and the weight of responsibility. Meanwhile, Hina watches from a hidden position, hoping the timeline will correct itself. The FPA"s commander demands answers, suspecting Aoba might hold secrets that could alter the war.
