Summary[]

Suzu is being taken away by a rich man whom her family has sold her to in order to help support her family. While making their way to Tokyo a huge storm sweeps Suzu into the Void Sea. When Suzu gains consciousness she is in a strange land with people that speak a strange language. The townsfolk sent Suzu to travel with the Shusei, hoping she will find someone along the travels to help her.

Three years has passed and Suzu still understood this world very little.

One day at a play a Sennin by the name Riyo requests a special play. Suzu is the main spectacle. Riyo makes a comment out loud, Suzu realizes she can understand her. She begs the stranger to take her along. Riyo agrees.

Riyo gives Suzu a sennin title--meaning she will never age nor die of illness. But in return Riyo makes her a servant. Suzu served her for 100 years.
