Once every 100 years, a Water Fairy implants an egg into a person who then becomes the Guardian of Fairies. This time, the responsibility falls on Chagumu, the second prince of the New Yogo Kingdom.
Chagumu`s life isn`t easy. The king finds Chagumu an inconvenience and attempts to have him killed. As a result, the queen asks a female guard, Balsa, to protect Chagumu. In addition to this, beings from another world, known as Nayugu, constantly attack him in order to eat the egg carried in Chagumu`s body."
