Basic Story
The story is pretty simple - Hikari, the red hair girl that you see in an opening clip, has been kidnapped. And Rance get the mission from his boss (the bold guy) to investigate the case. Rance is something like a detective in this story. This also turns the whole game more into a detective like exploring than into rpg or more less rpg/strategy to which the gamers of the latter games of the series are used.Rance isn’t alone in his job he has a helper - 16 year old Shiiru helps him. She actually is Rance's slave. She was from a rich family but alter got kidnapped by some bandit and the sold in an auction. The one who bought her was Rance of course.

Now with her help you (Rance) have to solve this mistery, bring Hikari back and pay back the one's that are at fault.
