Episode 1

Two high school students named Yui-Chan and Miaka are in the school classroom. Though Miaka apparently fell asleep during class and dreams about food. The food is all spread around her and she is about to eat it then the food disappear and lecturers start asking her questions. Miaka awakes hitting the teacher on the head with her school desk. After this incident, it changes scenes to when Miaka and Yui-Chan are on their way to the National Library. Yui-Chan says she needs to return a book. Miaka, while waiting for Yui-Chan to come back goes to a little food machine. She drops her coin and bends down to pick it up. A red peacock appears from behind her and she follows it to a room for employee's only. Yui-Chan is behind Miaka and asks what she's doing here. Miaka tells her about the bird and then a book drops from a shelve that seemed to be hidden away from all eyes. Both girls walk towards the book and Yui-Chan, begins to read the novel. It was an ancient Chinese novel called The Four God's Earth and Sky. Yui-Chan read aloud the first page which is really an incantation in being absorbed by the book. The page is then turned and both girls are absorbed into the book. They wake up in a perculiar place. Not the National Library. Men who traffic in girls appear and try to get them but then another man appeared and start to beat them up. A character on his forehead, oni, which is ogre, shines red brightly. The man tells the girls after he has beaten the other men up, that money is a great way of showing your appreciation. Yui-Chan and Miaka look at him blankly and the man discovers that they have none. After discovering this he leaves them. While Miaka searches her pocket for some money, Yui-Chan is surrounded by a red light, the same red light that surrounded them when reading the book. Yui-Chan is taken back to the library and Miaka finds herself alone. Yui-Chan finds herself alone too and begins to read the book. She finds out that what she and Miaka had experienced was not a dream, but reality. Miaka travels to the city on the back of a cart and finds that she is in ancient China. She tries to find the man that saved her and Yui but fails to do so. Another man comes up to her and tells her that he knows the guy and brings her to him. Only Miaka doesn't know he is another trafficer. She follows him and when she finds out that he is another trafficer, she fights against them but is deafeated. Then the man with the character of ogre on his forehead appears and saves her again.
