Once upon a time, the world was ruled by Chaos. Chaos is one of many features of this mysterious world. Its concentration distorts the laws of nature, which leads to the emergence of demons and natural disasters, which people call "the scourge of Chaos."  Then came "a man with a holy seal" and "returned the order." He was called the Lord. He was the only one who could use the seal and therefore protected people from Chaos. As a result of his actions, the territories occupied by people expanded instantly.  So the Lord must be. But, everything has its own good and bad side. When the level of Chaos has gone down, the Crests have become instruments used in power struggles. At the moment, all people are divided between the Fantasia Union and the Factory Alliance.  Over time, the two power blocs' rulers decided to arrange the wedding of their heirs to unite and complete the creation of the Great Seal - a symbol of order for the eternal peace. However, both dukes were eliminated, and wars were unleashed on their territories with new forces.  At the center of this battle was a student from the Magical Academy named Siluca, on which the earl named Lord Villar laid his eyes.

Momokichi Momoi, the mob boss owner of a professional baseball team known as "the Peach Twisters",  has a unique way of dealing with ineffective players: killing them. His daughter, Momomi,  is twice as twisted as her father. Mikura and the Danger Service Agency are hired by a mysterious  old man to kidnap Momokichi. But during that attempt they run afoul of Momomi. Before the resulting  firefight, Momokichi dies when his head falls on a ventilation pipe. Now Mikura and the D.S.A. have  to come up with a new plan before they end up as Momomi's next target.  Mikura, Kurokawa, and Harada are the three members of the Danger Service Agency (DSA).  Mikura is the brawn of the group, Harada is the brains, and Kurokawa is just a bitter  ex-cop who likes to think he's in charge. They'll take on any job as long as it involves  much danger and, of course, money. Their biggest case, however, could prove to be finding  out why someone wants Kurokawa assassinated.  The DSA's headquarters is an old red British double-decker bus that has been converted into living  quarters for the three main characters. It has been placed on the rooftop of a two-story building  which houses Mugiyama's barber shop on the ground floor. They drive an old-style pink Volkswagen Beetle.
