Content:
Far north of the world is Hell's Gate, a gate formerly used by the Demon Lord to invade the human realm. Thanks to the legendary hero Shion Bladearts, the holder of Excalibur, and his loyal group of comrades, the Gate was sealed off and the evil threat was destroyed.
Unfortunately, the seal was incomplete and began to weaken, allowing the demons to once again begin their attack. Worried for the safety of his village, the selfish and perverted farmer Touka Scott digs traps to fight off the demons. But fear not, as Shion is on his way to seal the Gates of Hell and save humanity!
Or at least so, because the legendary hero is dead, falling into one of the pitfalls that Touka has already dug. Fortunately, dealing with the dead is the specialty of master Anri Haynesworth. While she can't revive him, Anri can at least salvage their mission by forcing Touka's soul into Shion's rotting body and dragging him to Hell's Gate in Shion's place. Not wanting to be left behind, Touka's childhood friend Yuna Yunis followed. Together, the three of them begin to become the group that may not be the best fit to try to save the world!
