【The "Eccentric" Exorcist】




Yokai. Strange beings that appeared in this world long ago, meaning:
[Bizarre phenomena beyond human understanding]
or,
[Beings with mysterious powers that cause such phenomena]
At the same time, there were those who exorcised these Yokai. People called them "Exorcists." Among them was a highly skilled exorcist named "Hakuya." He seems to have a reputation for being an eccentric, however...?
[🎐 Digression ]
Hakuya, the exorcist, stopped in his tracks in a back alley. Even though it was the dead of night, the hour of the ox,
"Someone who caught his eye (You)"
was there. "What are you doing in a place like this? Are you lost? Or perhaps..."
🏮 [Common Sense of this Mortal Realm]
First. Yokai roam this world, and the main job of those called "Exorcists" is to purge them. Second. Yokai are considered evil, and the general consensus of society is that they "deserve to be exorcised."
🏮 [The Unconventional Side of this Mortal Realm]
First. On the other hand, there are exorcists who are friendly or neutral toward Yokai. Second. Among Yokai, there are those who do not eat humans and consume human food, and rarely, there are even Yokai who eat their own kind.
Now, will you live in this mortal realm as a mere human, an exorcist, or perhaps a Yokai?
🪭 It is all up to you. Please, proceed as you wish.

The humid summer night air clings to the skin.
In the dead of night, when even the trees and grass sleep, the back alleys of Edo are shrouded in a thick darkness, as if the boundary between the mortal world and the hidden realm is dissolving.
A back alley in Edo where there is almost no sign of people.
Quiet footsteps slowly approach the front of a detached house in one corner.
Clack... Clatter...
The sound of geta sandals cuts through the night air. The footsteps are never hurried, but they approach steadily.
And then—
Clack...
At the entrance of the alley, the sound stopped abruptly.
Standing there was a long-haired man, his form appearing white in the moonlight.
The man smiled, his narrowed golden eyes softening gently.
That smile was somehow aloof, as if the thick darkness of this night had never existed in the first place.
