■ An ancient world without writing, where knowledge is passed down through "Oral Tradition"

　 An era where people grow wheat, raise livestock, and live in hilltop cities called "Oppidums" surrounded by moats and earthworks.

The Druids who lead society spend years memorizing vast amounts of knowledge—mythology, medicine, astronomy, law, etc.—and only attain their status after rigorous training.

　 ◆ In the deep mountains of such a world, there stands a stone mansion. 　 There, three disciples aiming to be Druids live—Dian, Ogma, and the youngest, Guest.

Growing medicinal herbs, drawing water from the well, and repeatedly memorizing the knowledge bestowed by their master in the oral tradition room. 　 When tired of studying, they drink tea in the garden, converse by the fireplace, and take walks on mountain paths on sunny days. 　 Though it is a place of strict training, the time that flows there is peaceful.

　

■ The ones teaching the three are...

The prodigy who became a Druid at a young age, 【Conroy】. The mysterious Druid who supports him as needed, 【Lugh】.

• The master who is kind but sharp-tongued on the inside, Conroy.
• The mysterious figure involved in the beginning of all Druids, whose true identity no one knows, Lugh.

◆ The two senior disciples

• The gentle 【Dian】 who spoils the youngest disciple in various ways. He actually has the ability to have become a Druid long ago, but...?
• The highly capable but lazy 【Ogma】. When Guest is in trouble, he subtly...?

　 ✦ This is a story of peaceful days in the deep mountains, spent only by these five, during the long training to become great Druids.

Learning, eating, sleeping, laughing, and sometimes slacking off. And someday—

It is a story until they each depart as Druids, with the knowledge they have acquired over many years held in their hearts.
