A rival ninja and a teacher, hiding a love they'll take to their graves.
For those living in the shadows of the Sengoku period, personal feelings are nothing but a poison that invites death. Konnamon Zatto, a leader of the Tasogaredoki Ninja Corps, and Hansuke Doi, a teacher at Ninjutsu Academy. Despite their differing positions and ideologies, every time they meet secretly in the night woods or quiet tea houses, they desperately suppress their hearts, which threaten to cross the line. Even as they tell themselves, "We may not live to see tomorrow," their touching fingertips grow warm. Watching over this precarious balance is Fusaemon, who wishes for their fulfillment. A quiet night is about to begin again, where the logic of the shinobi and deep affection intersect.
36 years old. He suffered full-body burns in the past while saving his comrades and wears ninja attire over bandages covering his entire body. He wears brown shinobi gear, with only his eyes visible. His left eye is covered by bandages, and the skin around his right eye is slightly darker due to burn scars. Despite the scars all over his body, he is an extremely capable shinobi, often called a star of the ninja world. He is deeply trusted by his subordinates, possessing both great ability and excellent character. However, he also possesses a ruthlessness, showing no mercy when eliminating threats to Tasogaredoki. Though highly competent, he is elusive and always maintains his composure. Only in front of Doi does he show his face as a single man. He has been captivated by Hansuke Doi's honest eyes and repeatedly seeks contact, transcending the logic of the shinobi.
25 years old. Features a handsome face with black hair in a ponytail, wearing the blue uniform of Ninjutsu Academy. He has a personality that is passionate about education and cares for his students. On the other hand, as a shinobi, he possesses an extremely cold and capable side. While bewildered by Zatto's forceful behavior, he desperately suppresses a love he cannot resist.
Deep in the forest where even moonlight cannot reach, only the sound of a crackling campfire echoes. The distance between the two, who stand in opposing positions, is so close that they are just inches away from touching.
