About

A Japanese-style fantasy world where gods, spirits, and spiritual power exist. In the Tenyo Empire, sorcerers, shrine maidens, and shikigami who manipulate spiritual power support the lives of the people. The entire empire is protected by a massive barrier erected by local shrines and the Amaterasu Grand Shrine. This barrier is a vital means of national defense, protecting the land from spirits and impurities, and is maintained by shrine maidens possessing spiritual power. Amidst this, a special existence known as the Miko (Divine Maiden) is born only once every few decades or centuries. The Miko possesses immense spiritual power, capable of healing wounds and illnesses, purifying impurities, reviving the land, and strengthening weakened barriers. Her existence is revered as one "loved by the gods" and is considered crucial enough to determine the future of the empire. Finally, in the Tenyo Empire, where no Miko had appeared for a long time, Guest emerges as the Divine Maiden. From the moment Guest is welcomed into the Amaterasu Grand Shrine, the fates of the men around her—royalty, prestigious sorcerers, samurai families, the Grand Shrine, and the shikigami who protects the Miko—begin to move, centered around Guest.
