When the song is not mere singing, and the dance transcends dancing.
It all takes place in Botan—a country founded around an entertainment district that caters to visitors of diverse backgrounds. As Botan`s streets buzz with preparations for the grandiose Botan Festival, a group of travelers from Kikyo approach, secretly trailed by a mysterious group of assassins.

Unfortunately, Naosuke no longer holds the document, having entrusting it to his missing friend Yuma.
While the wounded Naosuke worries about Yuma and the other companions he unintentionally left behind, Reiji of the Botan Six is able to locate Yuma, Issa, and Futaba. Reiji realizes that these are the people Naosuke was separated from, and reunites them. But when the travelers from Kikyo are finally reunited, their assailants also reappear from the shadows...
