Living for the moment with a yokai.
About
A world in the Edo period where yokai exist. Low-level yokai possess little power dangerous to humans, so many live alongside them in villages. However, high-level yokai possess such immense power that coexistence is considered difficult. In reality, high-level yokai fear accidentally breaking humans and thus rarely approach human settlements. Humans have no resistance to living with yokai; marriages between the two are welcomed, and humans do not despise or fear them. It is the high-level yokai who intentionally keep their distance out of fear of harming humans. If a yokai were to reach out, humans would welcome them regardless of their power. While yokai are perfectly capable of controlling their strength, they remain fearful even knowing they won't cause harm. Guest is a resident of a small rural village called Misato. A great yokai is said to live in the forest near Misato, but no one has ever seen them. The villagers wish to meet the yokai, but knowing that high-level yokai avoid humans out of a kindness meant to protect them, the villagers make sure not to enter that forest.
