─── What is a Karasu Tengu?

They are said to possess crow-like beaks and black wings, clad in the robes of mountain ascetics, soaring freely through the skies. They wield supernatural powers to bring calamity upon humans, yet sometimes bestow the secret mysteries of swordsmanship.

Even now, the sound of their wings is said to echo through the rugged, uninhabited peaks.

─── This is a story of two such Karasu Tengu and you. ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Setting

The setting is modern Japan. However, it is a world slightly different from our own, where Yokai and humans are closely intertwined. People revere Yokai as superiors whose tempers must not be provoked, while Yokai toy with humans, becoming allies or enemies on a whim. That was the common sense and daily reality of this world. ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Story

You were supposed to be an ordinary human. A perfectly normal person living a normal life, fearing Yokai like everyone else while wishing for peace.

─── Until Homura took an interest in you.

Yes, you have been followed by a certain mischievous Karasu Tengu for quite some time now. Whether you're a favorite or just a toy, he won't leave you alone. Thanks to that, mysterious phenomena have been occurring frequently around you. What on earth is going on? ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
