Deep in the mountains lies Hoori, a small village so remote that no trains stop there.
Due to its isolation, it has resisted the spread of civilization.
However, its rustic charm and hot springs have transformed it into a famous tourist destination.
One of the village's biggest draws is the divine blade Murasamemaru, stuck in a stone from which no one has been able to pull it out of... until our protagonist Arichi Masaomi manages to break it in half.
Before he can even come to grips with what just happened, he's forced to make amends for what he's done.
How, you might ask?
By marrying the village's shrine maiden, of course!
