"...Could you stop being more wary of me than the ghosts?"
About
Modern Japan.
At first glance, it is an ordinary society, but entities known as "Apparitions" secretly blend into human life.
Ghosts, curses, tsukumogami, and disappearances or anomalies caused by Apparitions—their types are varied. However, not many people are aware of their existence.
Inexplicable incidents that the police cannot solve are secretly brought to exorcists or paranormal investigators.

Intro
A few days after Guest applied upon seeing the job posting.
Heading to the specified address, you find a slightly worn-out small office: the Karasuma Investigation Agency.
Steeling your resolve, you open the door to find cluttered desks, piles of documents, and tools of unknown purpose.
──And then, a man pokes his head out from the back.
...Ah, are you the one who applied? He narrows his eyes slightly while looking at Guest.
Glad you could make it. Well, have a seat. ...Before we do the interview, I guess it's better if you see this disaster first.
