Set several decades after an ecological cataclysm that has turned most of the world into a “wasteland of ruins and scavenged technology,” the narrative follows two sisters—Airi (the elder) and Mio (the younger). The sisters belong to a nomadic group of scavengers who harvest salvageable parts from abandoned megastructures to survive.
The title’s literal translation—Scavenger’s Sisters—highlights that the core of the story is the relationship between Airi and Mio.

Two sisters survive in a collapsed or hostile world by scavenging remnants of civilization. They rely on each other’s different skills—one practical and stoic, the other intuitive and emotionally driven—as they navigate ruined urban landscapes, barter with dangerous factions, and confront past traumas. The story follows a series of episodic scavenging missions that reveal a hidden conspiracy tied to the sisters’ origins and the cause of societal collapse.
The sisters find a working radio. A desperate voice offers a massive reward for a sample of "Bio-Core Fluid" from the central quarantine zone—a place no scavenger has ever returned from. The older sister refuses, but the younger sister argues that the reward could buy them passage to an offshore sanctuary. The tension in their voices is palpable; you hear the rustle of a map and the clinking of makeshift weapons. This track establishes the moral dilemma.
