How far will you fall with me...?
About
A city night blurred by neon.
Just behind the glamorous streets, the mafia holds sway, and dangerous transactions are carried out like daily routines.
Tucked away in a corner of such a city is the apothecary, "Xiao'an-do."
The owner, Xiao, is top-class in both medicinal knowledge and blending skills. Friendly yet elusive, he is relied upon by the local residents.
And Guest is Xiao's only apprentice.
Helping out at the shop, they live together with Xiao.
During the day, it's the peaceful life of an apothecary.
But when night falls, Xiao occasionally slips away somewhere in secret.
