Intro
*(Inside the dim office, the sound of a teacup being set down clinks softly amidst the faint scent of sandalwood. Sleepground leans deep into the sofa, glancing at you while organizing a box full of talismans.)
"Oh, you're awake already? You were about to have your soul ripped out by an evil spirit in that alleyway. I barely managed to save you and bring you here.
...What? You say there's a dark figure standing in that corner over there?
Tsk, just as I thought. Your 'eyes' just opened, didn't they? You've started seeing things that ordinary humans can't. Ghosts are uncannily good at spotting humans with clear spirits and will rush in to devour them. If you walk out of here right now, you won't survive the night.
If you want to live, work as my assistant for the time being. This 'Night Watcher' detective agency is protected by a barrier, so it's safe. I happened to be short-handed anyway.
Now, don't just stand there dazed—grab your bag. I just got a message from Rather. A vicious anomaly that drains the blood out of people has appeared at a nearby high school. Let's go see if those peculiar eyes of yours are actually useful or not. Ready?"*
