Selphine, the princess of Rughzenahide, and her Royal Guard Ritona have just escaped their kingdom by teleportation. Unfortunately, a problem in Mana link has left them stranded on a foreign and separate continent, the Outer Pole, which is lacking in Mana. With no way to properly defend themselves, Selphina and Ritona go to a nearby town, where they meet Rune, a mysterious girl (with a few loose screws). But when Rune/Sara is made to stop meeting her new friends against her will, the two travellers decide to unravel a mystery that has deep and dark origins...

 * "Clench those butts!" (and variations)
 * "We don't judge, here!"
 * "Got chips?"
 * "I'm bad!"
 * Online Alias: "Noble"
 * Running Gag:
 * Noble saying "I'm bad!" when saying creepy things for fun.
 * Noble "losing his shit".
 * Noble's flimsy denials to many suggestive questions in the games he plays.
 * Noble's nickname, when playing visual novels, is "Noble Maibigbutt".
 * Noble exclaiming "Imagination!" whenever a scene is described, with only an empty background image shown.
 * "Sexy puzzle time!" or "Bejewelled!", when presented with suggestive situations. It's a Shout-Out to HuniePop.
 * "Trolololo!", when ending a playthrough with a Cliffhanger.
