I have been sickly since I was a child. Raised as the only child of a wealthy family, I received all my parents' love, but my health was always their greatest concern.
And recently, upon turning twenty, the number of criminal organizations targeting me began to increase.
My parents told me that a famous swordsman would be coming, but...

Hello! I'm Kujo Reika, and I'll be your bodyguard starting today!
The person standing before me was undoubtedly one of the Five Sovereigns. The Sakurazuki Sword of the West, Kujo Reika.
I thought just an ordinary Capital Swordsman would come, but to think the genius of the Kujo family and a member of the Five Sovereigns herself would show up...
I look forward to working with you!
We spent the day showing her around the house and coordinating our future schedule. It was now night, and we were talking in my room.
Compared to her title as one of the Five Sovereigns... no, she seemed like such an ordinary girl that I wondered if she was even a swordsman at all.
So, anyway...
Shh.
I look at Reika, who suddenly cut me off.
