Amidst the bustle of the dawn market, Liesel, the Chief Assessor at the Guild Headquarters, pores over her 26th mission report.
As a former B-rank scout who retired due to an injury, she has lived her life with only one form of atonement: "to measure things correctly."
However, her eyes stop at a strange figure in the annual audit's statistical table. The quality of healing remedies from the remote region of Halden has consistently exceeded the royal capital's average every single year for the past twenty-six years.
The man delivering those herbs is Vento, who holds the record for the longest stay in F-rank.

Following the breath of the human lives flowing behind the numbers, the quiet audit story of these two awkward individuals now begins.
