Direct Attack has reduced the number of terrorist attacks in Japan.
The "Lycoris" program trains orphaned girls as assassins. Takina Inoue is a dedicated Lycoris who strives for perfection.
A hostage crisis tests her patience, leading to insubordination and her transfer from DA. She hesitantly arrives at LycoReco, a coffeehouse in disguise, after losing her sole home.
Takina's new companion isn't what she expected. Chisato Nishikigi seems careless about her duties as a Lycoris prodigy. She pulls Takina along on strange jobs to help others. Takina is even more confused when Chisato defeats armed attackers without killing any.
Takina wants to return to DA, but Chisato wants to show her there's more to life than killing.
