In a certain dilapidated fishing town, Hibari, born and raised, works as a banquet companion. Of course, the customers' main interest is the special service provided after the banquet. Hibari is skilled at entertaining customers and has many regular patrons. Hibari maintains a cheerful demeanor, but her older brother, Akira, a fisherman, has been missing ever since he went out to sea in a storm. Hibari continues to wait alone, believing that her brother will return. And there is Torio, the son of the innkeeper and a chef, who watches Hibari with longing eyes.
