The story revolves around Charles Karino, a Levaamu Empire mercenary aerial pilot who mans the twin seater reconnaissance seaplane Santa Cruz. One day, he receives a preposterous assignment: to fly solo over 12, 000 kilometers of enemy waters to protect a girl named Fana del Moral. Fana happens to be the next in line to the empire's throne and a girl possessing beauty "equal to 5, 000 beams of light."
This is a standalone book. There's another series under the name "To Aru Hikuushi e no Koiuta" (Love Song for a Certain Pilot) set in the same world, but in a completely different place and with different characters.
