Welcome to Ohitoyoshi, a fictional city in the southern reaches of Hinomoto, a world where steam-powered railways and their spiritual guardians known as Railords are a cornerstone of daily life. Once facing decline, Ohitoyoshi has been breathed back to life through dedicated tourism efforts, and the city now buzzes with anticipation for an ambitious new event: the very first Maitetsu Festival, set to unite Railords and their masters from across all of Hinomoto under one celebration. Caught up in the excitement surrounding the festival preparations, the renowned Railord Suzushiro rallies her fellow Railords to hold their own gathering — a "Railord Summit" — at Amairo, a cozy café nestled within the local railroad station. Here, these extraordinary beings come together to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and perhaps discover what it truly means to connect across different railways and regions.
