Story

In a vast, desolated land, people live while helping each other and trading and distributing goods.

The mercenary bodyguard unit "Team KOTOBUKI" is made up of a variety of unique characters: a beautiful but harsh female president, an unreliable commander, and a maintenance head with the head of a merchant on her shoulders. Together, they are ready to fight against sky pirates!

Today, once again, the Team KOTOBUKI turns on their humming engines and flies to the great sky above...

Character Names & Descriptions

	Emma Voice: Eri Yukimura A girl who speaks very politely, but with a very sharp tongue. She is childhood friends with Kylie. She has tremendous discernment and observation skills. and is able to pick up on enemy pilots' habits and flight patterns. Once she finds an opponent she sees as a target, she will chase them to the ends of the earth.
	Kate Voice: Sayaka Nakaya A genius pilot who is able to pull off difficult flight maneuvers with ease and take down her enemies with mechanical precision. Of course, her techniques are far too difficult for the average pilot. She lives on reason and logic, and is usually very quiet, not allowing her emotions to show. Even when speaking with her allies, she's very frank and matter-of-fact.

	Zara Voice: Hibiku Yamamura The vice-captain of the Team KOTOBUKI who loves alcohol. She's the big sister figure of the group who watches over them from afar. During combat, she has a wide range of vision, and uses it to get a grasp on the situation at hand and give orders to the others. She and Reona make a great team, and it's no wonder why—the two have been friends forever.
	Chika Voice: Miyu Tomita The super-energetic, youngest member of the Team KOTOBUKI. She often acts before thinking, and gets the enemy with her unexpected attacks. She's a stubborn and proud girl, often leading her into childish spats with Kylie. In turn, the two end up being chided by Reona.
