Now that he has Nichie and her pet Steak to watch his back against attacks by giant insects know as Gaichuu, Lag Seeing's job as a letter bee should get easier. But something's clearly not right in the land of perpetual twilight, and instead every new delivery they undertake seems to involve new complications and introduce even greater dangers to Lag's already lethal profession. Meanwhile, Lag's search for his mentor Gaunche seems to be going in circles, but when a sinister researcher known as the corpse doctor kidnaps Steak with the intent of dissecting him, a new series of revelations send Lag and Niche in an entirely new direction.
