Minori comes from a small village and was at a very young age taken in by a shrine as she was orphaned and gave off a special kind of aura. She was raised as a saint, highly praised, but while she appeared serene and peaceful to the villagers, to the monks at the shrine, she was a bit of a wild prankster. Not that anyone got hurt, but she did cause trouble.
One day, a traveling woman claiming to be a fortune teller came to the village, and the lord of the village, who was fond of fortunes and supernatural, let the woman into his manor. At first everything was like normal, but then the lord started to change for the worse, taking in more taxes and applying harder rules. Everyone was hoping that it would return to normal if the woman left, but when the engagement between the lord's and the woman's was announced, everyone realized that things would not get better; that it would only get worse. They went to the shrine, to ask for guidance. Minori, having heard the tale of God's Treasure, the Kokonotsu, said that she would get hold of this treasure. Because legends say, that if you get hold of God's Treasure, your wishes would be granted, and she sincerely wishes for her village to be saved.
So she set out on travel, and despite the protests of the monks, she went alone. As a charm, she got a silver ear cuff from the monks. She didn't realize at first, but as time passed, she noticed that hear ears had grown much sharper and she could hear much better after putting it on. On the other hand, she guessed that it might be because sounds was carried much better out in the open, in comparison to how it is carried in her village. "Maybe it's normal" she thought and shrugged it off.
But finding treasures from legend isn't the easiest, most of all because there are many more who are looking for it. She met a man of old age who told her about his brother having owned one; the agate drinking cup. However, as it turned out, the cup had been stolen by a gang of thieves, who used the fact that those who touched it most of the times were shred to pieces if they "were not worthy". The bandits themselves didn't want to take the risk of touching it, but they tricked people who appeared gullible to accept a drink from a stranger so that they touched it, and then stole their possessions. Since Minori looks so very innocent, plus she is a woman traveling all on her own, she was made a target. And because she knew the risks, and because she sought to get hold of the treasure, she talked the thieves into making a deal with her. They gambled for a set of items, like some clothes and other things, and Minori won. To "celebrate" her victory, the men offered her a drink in the cup, which had also been part of the deal. The thieves expected her to die when she touched the cup, but when she didn't, they were shocked to the extent that they didn't snap out of it until after she made her leave. At that point, they hunted after her, so she had to run and hide until she managed to sneak away from the town that she met the thieves in.
Continuing her trip, she meets a woman about her age, perhaps a little older, who is in possession of a comb. This comb, Minori finds out, is one of the kokonotsu, called the Seven-Colored Rainbow. The woman was troubled, and Minori listened to her story. Apparently, her younger brother had gotten roped into a cult, and couldn't get out of it. Minori offered to help, and with her abilities to negotiate, she managed to do this without any fighting, In return for her help, she received the comb.
She picked up rumors that in several towns over, in a big city, there is a kokonotsu. So she heads in that direction, passing through a forest. In this forest, when she takes a break by a small lake, she meets two ruffians, who thinks it's quite something to meet a woman traveling all on her own. They make advances on her, and suddenly, there's blood. Minori is just as surprised as the guys who are suddenly dead. She finds that there is a young man with cat like eyes, standing above her, and he has a weapon in his hand. Apparently, he saved her from the two men. But to his surprise, she was not thankful. Because killing and even hurting people happen to be bad, and she started to scowling him for quite a bit of a time. After that, she asked why he helped her in the first place, and he told her that he saw the ear cuffs that she was wearing. She didn't get what it was about them that he found so interesting, and was really surprised when he told her that it's one of the kokonotsu. How did he know that, she wonders, and he tells her that "I'm the Guardian of the Eye Stone, that's one of the kokonotsu". She tells him why she's looking for the kokonotsu, and then, because he seems so gloomy, she pushes him into the water, and because she makes him laugh, he gives her the Eye Stone and allows himself to come with her to look for the rest of the kokonotsu.
The first kokonotsu that they found together was a kimono, called the Ancient Robe. They got to hear that a person in a gambling den possessed it, and thus, that's where they went. Hikae was about to threaten the owner to give them the clothes, but Minori stopped him, and suggested a gamble. If she won, she got the kimono. If she lost, she would let her opponent have the the Eye Stone. This shocked Hikae, because what holy woman gambled? And what was she doing risking to lose the Eye Stone? But despite his protests, she went through with the game either way. And won, she did, so that was one more kokonotsu to the inventory.
On the way to the town she had heard about having one treasure, Minori and Hikae found themselves in the middle of a conflict between two different feudal lords, and Minori decided to get involved. Acting as a mediator, she managed to create peace, and even got invited to a wedding that would ascertain that peace. As a thank you, they received a kanzashi hair pin. Minori got them while hikae was not present, and Hikae informed her, later, that the new hair pin she was wearing happened to be the Peacock Feather, one of the kokonotsu.
Along the path of their travel, Minori realized the ending of her travel. She realized that it might not be true that her wish would come true, and that Hikae would have to kill her some day; the day that she reaches God's Location, with all the treasures. Still, she continues to travel with Hikae, continues to travel with him.
Moving on, they finally reached the town that had been their destination. There, Minori drags Hikae to go shop with her, especially for many different kinds of food. The visit lots of restaurants and treat shops. Much to Hikae's confusion, she takes it pretty easy and does not go to get the treasure right away. But she has decided to teach him the fun in life, and has this as her second goal. They do eventually go to the location of the treasure, though. The one who possessed it was a rich, religious man. Minori, with her knowledge from her upbringing, talked for several days and nights with the man, convincing him to give them the treasure. It was a the Sapphire Magatama, a bead protection charm.
After getting the trasure, she drags Hikae along to shop for clothes and provisions for further travel. When he talks about the next treasure, about to tell her what the last two are, she plays around with mushrooms and a tree trunk, making a crude sculpture of a persons surprised face. Because of that face, she starts to ponder the saying that "people's souls reside in items" and if that is true or not. During this line of thought, she wonders out loud what she would become, once Hikae kills her. This surprises Hikae, because he didn't know that she had realized that Hikae was going to kill her once she gathered all the treasures. When he asks why she still comes with him, and if she wants to die, she slightly panics, but says that she's still going to look for the treasures, because she wants to at least try to save her village. And she knows that everyone dies, some day, so she has chosen to die for the sake of others. This makes Hikae reconsider his own values and purposes.
After a long time of traveling on, without finding leads on the last two treasures, they take a break at a roadside rest stop to eat dango. Minori find Hikae staring at something, and when she follows his gaze, she notice Hikae is staring at a man by another seat. As it turns out, he was in possession of the last two kokonotsu treasures, the Cherry Blossom Rouge and the Dual Flowers geta. He doesn't believe in old tales like the kokonotsu, and doesn't really care about the value of the items that he possess, but he doesn't want to give up on them that easily. The powder is wonderful and the geta are beautiful, after all, and that's why he wanted them in the first place. After conversing with him, Minori first offers friendships, which baffles both men, but then she gets to know that if they can give him something that is more beautiful than the two treasures, he will give her the geta and powder. After some thinking, Minori takes out an incredibly pretty kimono, with beautiful patterns and detailed embroidery. It even has fancy fur neckline. Because the person likes it, he agrees on the exchange, with the promise of friendship.
After that, they headed for Mt. Fuji and Aokigahara, where Hikae's God, the God who wants the treasure assembled, lives. They climb the mountain, and pass the trials of opening the gate, and passing through the tunnels to God's throne room. There, Minori is killed by God.
