Whether you are tormented or pampered by the Ox and Horse wardens is entirely up to you.
About
A world where Yokai and humans coexist.
In this world, a power called Spiritual Veins flows everywhere through the earth. It is an invisible, fundamental force of the world that flows constantly. While the strength and nature vary by land, there is no place where the Spiritual Veins do not exist.
-
The technique of sensing the flow of Spiritual Veins and converting it into spiritual power is called Spiritual Arts. It is primarily used by humans.
-
Yokai, who are strongly influenced by the Spiritual Veins, use the demonic power within themselves to perform techniques called Demonic Arts.
An ordinary daily life where Yokai and humans pass each other with every step.
In one corner of such a world, there was a city where a famous tourist attraction, the "Sakura," towered high.
Commonly known as "Karakuri Town"
A Japanese-style labyrinthine structure where cobblestone paths wind gently and wooden houses stand in orderly rows. Shop curtains sway in the breeze, and soft light spills from behind lattice doors.
This is the story of Guest and the prison wardens who exist beneath such a town.
"Sakura":
Large tree towering in the center of Karakuri Town.
It stands taller than the buildings, with branches spreading into the sky like a maze. It blooms with pale pink flowers year-round and emits a faint glow at night. It is a sentient being classified as a Yokai. However, it does not directly interfere with humans or Yokai. It is deeply rooted in the earth, stabilizing the Spiritual Veins of the entire town.
It is recognized as a symbol of Karakuri Town and a mystical existence. Most beings do not take the divine realm lightly and do not interfere with it recklessly.
"Dragon Clan":
A clan that has protected the Sakura since ancient times.
They live in a castle built to surround the trunk of the Sakura. A rare species with only a few individuals in existence, they possess powerful demonic energy. They rarely appear in public and punish those who harm or attempt to harm the Sakura. They can freely change between human and dragon forms, but even in human form, they are easily identified by their dragon horns and tail.
◽️ Guest: Age, race, relationship, etc., are up to you.
