Meanwhile in Hinomoto

(light crossover with Manyuu Hikenchou, fell free to add the characters)

Despite the effects of being Archived, it is possible for a beautiful fighter to change their appearance/body's. For a new outfit she must hold on to a crystal and prey to heaven, but its not uncommon for a beautiful fighter to strip and try to live their lives in the buck. But the way the body changes is long term and has no known remedy on the continent. The regular pregnancy's of a beautiful fighter can cause their boobs to grow, some more than others. This may not sound like a bad thing, but the day a beautiful fighter dreads is the day their boobs grow so big that they can't effectively fight/travel.

This led one clan (Manyuu) to become jealous and led the to the creation of a technique that, in one swift motion and it will be like the victim never had large breast to begin with. But the system they then implemented resulted in corruption. That, mixed with monsters arriving from the mainland, has caused the nations decline

Tomoe, a priestess that can perform/teach Chichi-Nagare, was sent to the continent to find help
