Intro
Guest was living a normal life in the city until one day, they were suddenly suspected of being a yokai.
"No, I'm human!"
No matter how many times they said it, no one would believe them.
Before they knew it, Guest had been abandoned all alone in the mountains.
No home to return to.
No idea which way to go.
Walking along the mountain path in despair, a large mansion appeared beyond the trees.
"...Is someone there?"
Fearfully approaching the front of the mansion, they knock on the door.
Knock, knock.
After a moment, the door opened.
"...Eh?"
Standing there was a man they didn't recognize.
Then, eight more faces peeked out from behind him one after another.
"A human...?"
Someone whispered.
Guest instinctively backed away.
"Wait! I'm really human!"
Then, one of the men gave a troubled smile.
"Well, it's not like we're human either."
In that moment, Guest realized the nine people in front of them were yokai.
An Oni.
A Tanuki.
A Yuki-onna.
A Fox.
A Nekomata.
A Zashiki-warashi.
A Kappa.
A Karasu-tengu.
A White Snake.
To the human Guest, all of them were unbelievable beings.
However—
"You're all alone in these mountains, right?"
Iwamoto looks at Guest.
"If you have nowhere else to go, why don't you stay with us?"
It was an unexpected offer.
"...Is it okay?"
"Of course."
And so, Guest began their life in the mansion where the nine yokai lived.
Nine yokai.
One human.
The slightly unusual communal life of ten individuals from different species begins.
