Orensakino's (Story)

Following the actions of the Lanai 20, the Orsensakino trilogy is a story adjacent to Yoioshi Gradation.

Summary

Wake

Coming from an up-and-coming village which seeks to establish itself as a major power within the wastes, the Initiates are sent to Caipat, where they’re to set up deals with the city-folk.

A part of these deals is to show that they’re capable guardsmen, which forces them to take part with the Shishibuki.

After passing and becoming part of the official military for the Nagowara, the crew take odd jobs here and there, from escorts through the wastes, to minor guards for the political individuals.

One of the jobs has them enter a jungled area, where someone claims there is a warlord that has enslaved various entities. While there, they run into “Shark Sage”, who explains that there is constant warring of the feral people in the wastes, explaining this is why places like Caipat are necessary.

The first part ends with the Anken. A massive gladiator-like event where any Shishibuki can join in. During the event, Caipat gets attacked by Jitasashis, massive monsters.

Repose

In the aftermath of the Anken attack, the initiates return home to rest, however discover evidence that the Jitasashis was Lanai’s doing.

Questioning the evidence, Kuremu is jailed, where he meets Itari and crew. His friends come to rescue them, and they are explained that Itari and his crew are from Alutaku, another nation which was sent to do deals with Lanai; however, they were placed in a trap and imprisoned, with one of them being sacrificed.

Upon escaping, all of them are accused of being the ones responsible for the Jitasashis, with Chikai having been a part of the set up, having also been the one to kill Kuremu’s younger brother.

The crew go on the run, eventually finding safety in Alutaku, where they see Chiserieas, the pearl sea. In the center of the sea, is Mochinsei, growing larger than ever, with Alutaku’s goal being raising it to take back control over the earth, assuming it was a tree of life from before the war. Along with this, Alutaku is discovered to be home of Godorein, alien creatures from the blue planet.
