In a town in the mountains, there is the legend of a half human and half snake creature called the "Yamatagi Madara" that once terrorized the town. The town considers entry into the western mountains to be forbidden because a shrine dedicated to the Yamatagi Madara is there and it is feared that anyone who trespasses into this area will be cursed. Siblings, tomboy Hinata and feminine Kaoru, from the family that governs the western mountains, visit the area out of curiosity. There, they meet a demon with the upper body of a shrine maiden and the lower body of a snake. Like the legend, it has a terrifying appearance, but the siblings become friendly with it and begin calling it "Dara-san".
