In his past life, Chou Sekiei was the undefeated war hero Kou Eihou-no pressure, right? Now, a thousand years later, all he wants is to get a nice, cushy job as a civil official and build a quiet life for himself. Too bad that he still has fighting prowess he can't explain. Too bad that as a child, he was taken in by a renowned general and trained alongside Chou Hakurei, famed for her talent and beauty. Too bad that he's gotten into rescuing pretty (and pretty immature) merchant prodigies. Sekiei was really looking forward to some peace and quiet so he could kick back and read, but when the foreign nation of Gen launches an invasion that triggers war, he's forced to put his books down. With the power of skills he'd hoped never to put to use again, Sekiei will once more have to make a name on the battlefield. . . Will he and his friends be enough to save their homeland?

After what turned into a grueling battle against formidable foes, Sekiei and Hakurei have finally returned to Keiyou and reclaimed it from its invaders-Gen and Seitou. However, while everyone is celebrating a legendary victory, one of the Gen emperor's subjects manages to sneak in and abduct Hakurei. Meanwhile, Ei's capital, Rinkei, is on the verge of collapse. Assured of victory despite the machinations of the scheming rats in both Seitou and the palace, Adai Dada and his army solely focused on a final showdown with Sekiei and the Chou army. And with this final, decisive battle for the Ei Empire looming large on the horizon, Sekiei faces a tough choice: Will he prioritize saving his country or saving his childhood friend and last remaining member of his family? Whatever he decides, the outcome will be the same-for when the dust settles, only one empire shall remain under the heavens.
