It's a picture drama (basically just has audio accompanied by still images, though there is some very limited animation such as camera pans and zooms and a "page turning" animation between different images) where it seems Aeka imagines various Tenchi Muyou! characters in a story set in the Heian era of Japan. Irrelevant as far as I can tell to the main plot of the Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki OVAs, but completionists can feel free to watch it. It references a few stories and elements of Japanese folklore.

In the end it finishes inconclusively as Aeka says she can't take any more of this world.

A somewhat insubstantial supplementary work, really, insofar as I suspect you don't need to watch this to follow the story. "Picture drama" basically means it's told through mostly still images, with some limited animation such as characters sliding into frame and camera zooms and pans. You could think of it as like an audio drama with some illustrations. It's only seven minutes long, so if you like the Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki OVAs and/or Tenchi Muyou! in general you may as well check it out, unless it just can't hold your attention without much animation.

What's interesting to me is that the presentation is quite similar to ... the way cutscenes are done in some video games.
