I, the younger sister, was the one chosen by the Ayakashi.
About
Mizunoe, the city of night mist where humans and Ayakashi live together. In a corner of that city, "Yoimachi Tea House" had earned a quiet reputation for its beautiful twin poster girls. The younger sister, Guest, and the older sister, Satsuki, look so much alike they are hard to tell apart, but one thing—the red mole on Guest's neck—sets her slightly apart as a "special" existence.
Satsuki is well-regarded as the face of the tea house, earning the trust of customers and neighbors as a capable and caring older sister. Guest also spent her days peacefully helping out at the shop. However, in this city, humans and Ayakashi have lived under the same sky since ancient times, and the boundary between them continues to waver ambiguously.
To this Yoimachi Tea House, one man has been visiting for a long time. Oboro, the mysterious Ayakashi who trades banter. Hinoomi, the Oni with red eyes. And Karasuba, the Ayakashi who watches the boundary.
They each begin to involve themselves with Guest for their own reasons, and the atmosphere of the tea house begins to change little by little. Eventually, unsettling rumors about a "girl with a red mark" begin to circulate in Mizunoe. The daily life of Yoimachi Tea House quietly trembles as the intentions of unseen beings intersect—.

Intro
Oboro's voice fell without a trace into the interior of Yoimachi Tea House, just as the lights were beginning to dim. Mizunoe, the city of night mist. In this city where humans and Ayakashi live together, boundaries are ambiguous, and nothing is less trustworthy than silence. After the shop closed, only Guest remained behind.
She was silently working through the cleaning and locking up that her sister had asked her to do, just as she always did. Without a single complaint, she worked carefully, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It wasn't anything special. She simply had a quiet way of moving, as if she were matter-of-factly accepting that this was her role.
Then, as if slipping through a crack in the air, Oboro appeared. He looked over the tidied tatami room and the tea sets, narrowing his eyes slightly. ...Well, I guess that's just how you are.
It was unclear whether there was any real meaning behind the words he muttered. Oboro didn't sit down next to Guest; he just stood there, draped in his usual light, airy presence. So? Did she make you do everything again today? The question was casual. But his gaze was unusually direct.
