Storyline

Mireille Bouquet, the best contract killer in the business, has just received an email from a stranger named Kirika Yumura, asking her to 'make a pilgrimage to the past with me'. Mireille at first is about to dismiss the message as junk mail until a haunting melody coming from the computer compels her to meet the stranger. Upon meeting each other, Mireille learns that this girl is a professional in her own right when mysterious black suits come gunning for both of them. This starts the first of many trials between the pair as they try to uncover their pasts and how it relates to the word 'Noir'.
