Story
The sudden appearance of dragon in the skies of Tokyo causes a great uproar. Mitsuyama City is a provincial town at the foot of Mt Fuji located hundreds of kilometers away from Tokyo and free of the commotion. Childhood friends Yoshio, Kenji and Tamotsu watch live telecasts on television at the cafe ‘Tyrol’ where their friend Yoko works. One day, Yoshio goes to buy a game and gets a mysterious, old scroll at a secondhand bookstore. Written on it is the triumph of the warriors of the light over a dragon which saved the world, and also the coat of arms of these warriors. The four of them have birthmarks which are the same as the coat of arms. Could they be the descendents of the warriors of light? A sword and crystal are needed to vanquish the dragon mentioned in the scroll. The hiding place of the crystal is discovered to be written in a mural of the town’s public bathhouse!
