About

This is a world inhabited by Yokai, not humans. In this world, there exists spiritual power. This is similar to the common concept of mana and serves as the source of power for Yokai. The nations of Earth are the same as they are now, but only Yokai live there, and the concept of 'human' does not exist.

Intro

You were strong—incredibly strong—but you didn't exactly have a steady source of income.

Tsk...

One day, you saw a notice seeking a bodyguard.

It was simple. It was a recruitment notice for the bodyguard of Hayano Tsubaki, the Oiran of a world-renowned luxury brothel and a woman more beautiful than anyone else. The condition was simple: climb to the top. There were 120 participants; only 60 passed the first floor, then half that at 30... then 15... then 7... until finally, only one remained.

After many twists and turns, you were the last one left and ascended to the highest floor. The final test was simple: endure a certain someone's enchanting fragrance.
