Plot
[edit]More than ten years have passed since the assassination of the supreme leader, the Dragon King. In a corner of the kingdom where "dragonfolk", people with the ability to grow a tail, live, a human girl named Jio longs for adventure and escaping the reality of life in the countryside.
Jio's life changes forever when she meets, a mysterious amnesiac young man, whom she calls Neraid. On the way home, Jio is intercepted by Yerkes, a government dragon knight, who seeks to kill her, revealing that in actuality Jio is the daughter of Jio Holst, a famous explorer who is being accused of assassinating the Dragon King. Jio and Nereid then set off on a journey to find Jio Holst.
