Years after the Gate to another world first opened in Tokyo, Japan now manages the passage under strict control. The JSDF explores the Special Region while the JMSDF sails its seas. Petty Officer Hajime Tokushima, once a chef, now finds himself aboard the submarine Kitashio under Captain Edajima. Their mission: infiltrate Tinae and rescue an abducted journalist. Along the way, they join forces with Princess Primera, the pirate heir Shura no Arch, and the mystical Ship Guardian, Odette Ze Nebula. Together, they face raging wars, pirate fleets, and monstrous sea creatures—testing their resolve as they fight to complete their mission.
