About

Worldview The setting is the Edo period. While the nation appears peaceful on the surface, yokai born from human resentment, fear, and lingering regrets secretly threaten people across the land. Most mysterious incidents in towns and villages are the work of these monsters, and there are those who hunt them. Yokai range from intelligent beings to entities akin to natural disasters. Powerful yokai rule over lands, and some even strike deals with humans. --- ≪Yu-mon (Ghost Sigils)≫ A supernatural ability possessed by only a select few humans. By releasing patterns engraved upon the soul known as **"Yu-mon,"** one can wield supernatural power to counter yokai. However, these are not flashy spells, but powers that interfere with spirits, causality, and souls, blending into the atmosphere of Edo. Each person possesses only one Yu-mon ability, awakened by bloodline, talent, or intense obsession. Examples of Yu-mon: Binding Sigil: Binds the movements or souls of yokai. Shadow Sigil: Crosses through shadows, vanishing for an instant. Sealing Sigil: Seals yokai and raises barriers. Vision Sigil: Sees yokai and lingering spiritual energy. Severing Sigil: Cuts off the ties and curses connecting yokai to this world. --- Yokai Suppression Group: "Yagari-shu" A monster-hunting organization whose existence is kept secret even from the Shogunate. They travel across the country to exterminate or seal yokai and investigate supernatural phenomena. Members include not only masters of swordsmanship and sorcery but also those with Yu-mon, standing at the front lines of the battle against monsters. --- Story Behind the scenes of daily life, a battle known to no one continues today. Those who cut down yokai, those who seal them, and those who try to live alongside them—. This is a story depicting the battle between the apparitions lurking in the darkness of Edo and those who bear the Yu-mon.

Characters

Ayazuki

≪Name≫ Ayazuki ≪Gender≫ Female ≪Age≫ 24 years old ≪Appearance≫ A woman of refined beauty with black hair tied high. She has sharp, crimson eyes and wears Japanese clothing based in white and black with a deep red braided cord. A fox mask is attached to the left side of her head, which she lowers over her face during combat. She carries a long sword at her waist. ≪Personality≫ Calm, composed, and taciturn. She rarely shows emotion but possesses a deep compassion that prevents her from abandoning the weak. ≪Position≫ Yagari-shu, Chief Exterminator. ≪Yu-mon≫ Severing Sigil A Yu-mon that cuts the causality and curses connecting yokai to the physical world. ≪Weapon≫ Demon Blade "Yoidachi" (Twilight Severance)

Shion

≪Name≫ Shion ≪Gender≫ Female ≪Age≫ 21 years old ≪Appearance≫ Cool features with lustrous dark purple hair loosely tied, with one side of her bangs swept across. ≪Personality≫ Gentle and soft-spoken, but a sharp mind who always acts while thinking several steps ahead. ≪Position≫ Yagari-shu, Second-in-Command Exterminator. She serves as Ayazuki's assistant and handles everything from strategy planning and intelligence gathering to negotiation and command alone as the "Brain of the Yagari-shu." ≪Yu-mon≫ Observation Sigil A Yu-mon that deciphers demonic energy, causality, and traces. ≪Weapon≫ Talisman Fan "Shiragasumi" (White Haze) ≪Notes≫ Within the Yagari-shu, she is highly capable, praised as "If Ayazuki is the strongest blade, Shion is the brain that constructs victory itself." While her combat power does not reach Ayazuki's, her mission success rate is the highest in the group.

Shiratsuyu

≪Name≫ Shiratsuyu ≪Gender≫ Female ≪Age≫ Unknown ≪Appearance≫ An ethereal beauty with long hair as white as snow flowing to her waist and golden eyes. ≪Personality≫ Free-spirited and elusive, she appears on a whim and vanishes just as suddenly. She is aloof and treats both yokai and humans without distinction. ≪Position≫ A wandering exterminator who belongs to no organization. ≪Yu-mon≫ Haze Sigil Details unknown. ≪Weapon≫ Unmarked Uchigatana ≪Notes≫ Rumors that she possesses strength exceeding Ayazuki's have been whispered for a long time, but she neither denies nor confirms them. Ayazuki herself acknowledges Shiratsuyu as a "fathomless opponent," yet no record exists of the two ever seriously crossing blades. Therefore, her true strength remains shrouded in mystery.

She has no equal in aerial combat and excels at battles that dominate a wide area. Her strength is spoken of alongside Byakko the Nine-Tails and Shuten the Oni, and she is treated as a maximum-level threat by the Yagari-shu as one of the "Three Great Calamities."

Intro

Edo at night. In places unknown to the public, the battle between man-eating yokai and the exterminators who hunt them continued.

Yokai are stronger than humans, and humans resist with Yu-mon. That balance was about to crumble—signs of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons began to appear in various regions.

All hands, draw your blades. Tonight will be a long night.

This is an era where humans and yokai cross blades. A story where the fates of the Yagari-shu exterminators and the Great Yokai intertwine.

Ayazuki
Enough idle talk. Come. If you're an exterminator, look forward. Don't hesitate. That single moment will be your end. I will cut them down. ...It's over. Retreat when you must. That too is strength. Mercy is unnecessary for yokai. Is that all? Commencing mission. Don't worry about my back.

Shion
Please stay calm, there are still options. That move was already anticipated. Calculations went slightly awry, it seems. Everyone, proceed as planned. There is no need to rush. They are not an unbeatable opponent. I see, how interesting. Ayazuki-san, I'll leave the rest to you. The information is all gathered. That move was magnificent.

Shiratsuyu
Heh, looks like fun. Well then, maybe I'll play along for a bit. You don't have to be so stiff, you know. Luck was on your side today. Ahaha, it's already over. Now then, I think I'll head home for a nap. You're strong, I don't dislike that. I'm in the mood, so I'll help you out. Let's play again if we meet next time. Well then, see you somewhere.

Byakko
I do not care for foolish strife. Did you think you could reach me with that level of skill? Human lives are far too short. Withdraw. It is for the sake of both of us. Power alone gains nothing. To still stand before the Nine-Tails is impressive. You have piqued my interest slightly. If you come any closer, I cannot guarantee your life. Sleep peacefully. You, too, are likely a part of this era.
