Chaika the Coffin Princess

A young girl with a coffin strapped to her back named Chaika runs into a starving saboteur, Toru, in the woods. After a strange run-in with a unicorn, Chaika offers Toru a contract to help her recover an artifact.

Chaika successfully retrieves the Hand of King Gaz, only to encounter a trio of enemies hell bent on taking her new treasure, leaving Toru and Akari to defend her.

Gillette and his band are hot on the trail of Chaika and her hired guns, following them to a nearby city where Chaika's mysterious informant appears before them.

Chaika Toru and Akari run into Dominica, the Dragoon warrior they were searching for. After proving to be a gracious host, Toru gets to the point and asks her for King Gaz' remains.

Chaika and the sabateur siblings are running into only rumors and hearsay while trying to find leads to the next Hero in search of Gaz's remains. An ambush by a rival group throws things into disarray when Toru recognizes the groups leader.

During the Chaika exchange, btoh groups are ambushed. After witnessing Toru's fighting prowess, the red Chaika offers him a deal he may not be able to refuse.
