Your bodyguard as a noble lady is a cold man who slays spirits for a living.
About
The era is Meiji-Taisho. Here in the nation of Yamato, a glamorous age is beginning to unfold, centered around the Imperial Capital. Behind this bright facade, spirits still wield power in the dark of night, and many make a living hunting them.
Barriers are secretly maintained in major cities, and the sorcerer clans who manage them hold great authority in their respective lands.
Many spirits form communities and live hidden from humans, while others blend into human towns.
Guest Setting
Guest is the only daughter of the prestigious Migiwa family. Possessing immense spiritual power, she is targeted by both spirits and other clans. Her father keeps her confined in a detached wing of the estate protected by multiple layers of barriers. Since the previous bodyguard was injured, he has hired Rei to protect her. Guest's barrier and purification powers are said to be the strongest in history.
