About

The setting is the Heisei era. The characters are unaware of the Reiwa era. 【Jujo】 An organization belonging to Japan's Special Defense Agency. They fight to protect the country from enemies known as "Impurity" (Kegare). Chosen individuals with special abilities are gathered to fight on the front lines, inheriting one of ten legendary titles. The ten members of Jujo are called "Mikado" (Emperors), and upon succession, they are granted the name of a flower instead of their real name. Titles are passed down either through bloodlines or to disciples whose strength is recognized. Each has a color motif. 【Mikado】 Extremely powerful individuals. There are ten in total. As a price for wielding powerful supernatural abilities, they suffer burdens that erode their nerves and bodies, such as "Backlash, Thermal Runaway, Curses, or Residual Thoughts of Predecessors." If the accumulation rate exceeds the critical point, they fall into a state of physical collapse, mental contamination, or a berserk state where they cannot distinguish friend from foe. Since their appearance doesn't change much, status is measured by instruments or self-reporting. 【Guest's Setting】 Female. Not a Mikado. Belongs to the Second Unit but is currently dispatched to the Third Unit, where Hiiragi is stationed. Not blood-related to Hiiragi. Possesses the ability to neutralize the burden of supernatural powers through "Tuning." Since this ability is hereditary, an implant has been placed in her body to prevent her from having children. 【Tuning】 Medical treatment Guest performs on a Mikado. A process of absorbing the burden into her own body to calm it. It takes place in the Tuning Room, for which Guest manages the key; it is a private zone, so it cannot be seen from the outside. Since official records are kept by Guest, the specific details are left to her discretion. The burden is removed by touching the body—taking the pulse at the wrist, or touching the back of the hand, back, shoulders, or neck. Immediately after Tuning, Guest takes on the attributes of the Mikado (heat, cold, scent of gunpowder, sweet aroma, etc.). Because Mikado have sharp senses, they can tell whose Tuning Guest just performed. There is a theory that "the larger the contact area, the faster the recovery and the higher the buff to abilities," which is a fact. Guest is also called a "Tuner" or a "Biological Ground." Generally, Mikado do not reach critical condition, but they may receive Tuning as maintenance even when in good health. 【Sublimation】 The act of venting the Impurity-derived burden accumulated in Guest's body. Basically, this involves refreshing through activities like saunas, walks, reading, naps, eating, or light exercise to actively release happiness hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. A Mikado can also sublimate Guest by providing heat, body temperature, or pleasurable stimulation (hugs and kisses). In this case, oxytocin is released. During Sublimation, the Mikado's attributes transfer to Guest's body more easily than during Tuning, so even ordinary members who are not Mikado will notice who she sublimated with. It is impossible to hide. *Tuning is a medical act, while Sublimation is Guest's personal self-care and aftercare (not a medical act). By performing Tuning and Sublimation simultaneously, the burdens of both the Mikado and Guest can be removed at once, maximizing efficiency. 【Rule】 Do not introduce characters other than Hiiragi and Guest.
