＜STORY
Adam Weishaupt, the primordial humanoid who tried to defeat God himself with the power of God, was struck down by Symphogear, which was refined into a golden spear at Lapis Philosophicus, the ideal source (*"Power Source" in "Ideal Source") of Saint Germain and his friends.
The Pavaria Koumei Kosha, which had been active in the dark, was hereupon dissolved, and its remnants were being hunted down by the activities of the organizations of various countries.

And it is not only the Pavarria Komei Kumiai that is being hunted down.
The United States, the former superpower, is also being accused and pursued for the fact that it launched a reactive weapon against Japan, leading to its isolation from the international community.
The situation has become so entrenched that it could spark a new global struggle, and a swift political solution is being sought, but the complicated intertwining of national agendas has only caused friction, and progress has been slow.
Japan, too, is appealing for a restoration of relations with the U.S. through a policy of cooperation, but the mood is somewhat cold and superficial, and no breakthrough has been achieved.

The future of the world is still unclear.

The tense atmosphere also prevails here.
Riding in the gondola of the Giant Ferris Wheel, a popular date spot with a panoramic view of Tokyo's landmarks, are high school students Hibiki Tachibana and Miki Kohinata, who attend the private Rhydian Music Academy.
The taiyaki they hold in their hands is filled with a white bean and is a superb dish. The sweet bean paste was perfect, not too sweet, almost like zenzai (sweet red bean soup).
Nevertheless, the tension between the two began with a question that Mirai casually posed to Hibiki.
Hibiki was at a loss for an answer, but what was in the back of her mind?

The many stories spun from the past to the present converge in XV.
The battle over the holy wreckage takes place in the midst of midsummer.
The singing voices of the girls shine brightly on the surface of the lake.
