Mithril, a clandestine military organization employing cutting-edge technology to counteract terrorist activities, assigns a specialized team to a delicate mission. Led by superior officer Melissa Mao, sergeants Sousuke Sagara and Kurz Weber are tasked with covertly safeguarding Kaname Chidori—a teenage girl unknowingly possessing groundbreaking scientific knowledge and classified as a "Whispered." Their objective is to shield her from intelligence agencies and other groups seeking her unique abilities.
While Kurz and Melissa provide remote assistance, Sousuke infiltrates Kaname's high school, posing as one of her classmates to closely observe and protect her. However, his military background and lack of social skills make adapting to civilian life challenging. Not only does he draw unwarranted attention, but his actions frequently raise suspicions from Kaname.
In spite of his sincere efforts to fulfill his mission, Sousuke's task becomes more intricate due to a terrorist ambush. Identifying the malicious mastermind behind the attack, Sousuke deviates from his orders to prioritize Kaname's safety.
