■ Story
A story a little further from now in the middle of the 21st century.
The “Demon Summoner” lives in a dark society and harnesses the supernatural powers of the “Demon”. And “Aion” who watches over the world discovers the looming ruin of the world.
To avoid ruin, Aion’s apples and figs descend into the human world. They head to protect the two needed to avoid destruction, but both have already been killed.
Ringo revives the target by making full use of Aion’s special ability “Soul Hack”. Working with the Devil’s Summoner, Ringo and Figge pursue a mystery that jeopardizes the future of the world.
Can you avoid destruction …?

FIG (Voice of Nanako Mori)

Arrow (Voice of Kaito Ishikawa)
Devil Summoner Association Hatta Glass’s agent. One of the “targets to protect to avoid the end of the world” detected by Aion. He was killed in the mask, but was revived by Ringo’s soul hack.

Milady (Voice of Ami Koshimizu)
Devil Summoner Society Phantom Society Agent. She was killed by an ally for an unknown reason. After being resurrected by the apple soul hack, she accompanies the apple to pursue the reason behind her death. She is calm and rational.

Cyzo (Masaya Matsukaze voice)
Freelance demon summoner. He was killed by an agent of the Phantom Society, but was resurrected by Ringo’s Soul Hack. He accompanies apples and others to pursue a particular purpose. He is romantic, attractive and proud. He is often an intermediary between Arrow and Milledi because he can read the air and act accordingly. He keeps the team running smoothly.
