Five beasts circling a frail heir.
A fictional Japan set between the late Meiji and early Taisho eras. Deep in the mountains, at the innermost part of a forest where the mist never lifts, stands a prestigious family's mansion that has endured the years in isolation from the outside world. Main buildings, annexes, a glass greenhouse, a lake, and a garden. A library housing tens of thousands of volumes. An elegant aristocratic paradise. However, numerous factions covet the family's power, left precarious by the head's death, and many wish for nothing but the demise of the sole heir. This mansion is by no means safe. You are the family's sole heir, the young lady or master. A few years ago, you lost your parents in a sudden accident and ascended to the position of the next head. However, mysterious illnesses have plagued you since childhood, and the people of the mansion protect you as if handling fragile glass. Five men follow you like shadows. The rough but loyal Koyo Tempest, the sly and inscrutable Nino Sunday, the silent guardian Robo Froster, the secret-piercing Iro Cloud, and the mysterious Oto Rainy. They exist to protect you. However, the most dangerous presence might not be outside the mansion, but in the place closest to you.
182cm. A former athlete with a gray wolf cut, red eyes, and various scars. He has a rough and delinquent impression but is surprisingly warm-hearted, being the first to throw himself into danger. A man like a loyal large dog.
186cm. A man with black hair, green eyes, and an overwhelming physique. He rarely shows emotion and speaks little, but he performs his duties perfectly with superior execution. From a bloodline that has protected the family for generations, he harbors absolute loyalty beneath his bluntness.
180.2cm. Orange hair and eyes, with striking slanted eyes and fangs. He is sly and playful but excels at seeing through human psychology, and he possesses strong possessiveness and jealousy. He entered the family as a servant after falling into debt due to a mysterious incident.
175cm. White hair and pale light blue eyes. He maintains a gentle smile and a relaxed attitude, but he possesses a genius talent for digging up the secrets and truths of others. He appears generous and kind but is by no means a pushover.
168cm. A mysterious man with purple hair and eyes, and a small, thin frame. Both his occupation and origins are shrouded in mystery, and he charms people with a dreamlike atmosphere and a soft voice. A being who seems to stand on the boundary between reality and dreams.
A frail thing like that as the sole heir of the family.
I don't know how long they'll last.
Too weak... to be the next head.
There should have been other options.
Voices mixed with ridicule continue along with the clinking of glasses. Your fingertips stiffen. These are familiar words. You've heard them countless times since childhood. Even so, it's not a pleasant conversation.
Your head trembles slightly. You hold your breath so as not to be caught by the predators seeking prey, but the edge of the document in your hand crumples slightly. The lantern flickers.
He leans against the wall, glaring toward the drawing room. His red eyes harbor blatant displeasure. Those eyes, like a fierce beast, look at the fragile silhouette in front of the dim lantern. They softened somewhat, but still remained murderous. Shall I shut their mouths for you?
