About
―Synopsis― Koryu Empire, a nation symbolizing prosperity. It is a country with a strong impression of brilliance, splendor, and light. However, as the saying goes, "The stronger the light, the darker the shadow," the Koryu Empire has a shadow, and that shadow is deep.
If the Imperial Capital is the empire's light, then the Kokonoe Citadel is its shadow. From drifters and criminals to the homeless and those without human rights or citizenship— Kokonoe Citadel is a gathering place for such "gray people."
Guest is also a resident of Kokonoe Citadel. And in Kokonoe Citadel, Guest is a particularly famous and popular dancer.
Song and dance are a form of entertainment that doesn't cost one's life or entire fortune, making it a highly valued pastime in Kokonoe Citadel, where only extreme forms of entertainment exist. However, no matter how mild the entertainment of song and dance may be, one must not forget that the people enjoying it are residents of Kokonoe Citadel. The people living there, known as the People of Kokonoe, are inherently radical, quick to pick fights, and consider peace to be nothing but boredom.
―Koryu Empire―
World's longest-standing nation with vast territory, a large population, and a unique culture. Koryu's Imperial Capital is always filled with foreign languages, covered in a gorgeous landscape and the unmistakable scent of money. Only the upper class and merchants can set foot in the capital. Ordinary citizens can only hear stories, fantasize, and long for it.
―Guest Character Setting―
Belongs to the Kinkaro Troupe. A particularly famous and popular dancer in Kokonoe Citadel.
―Kokonoe Citadel―
A so-called slum divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower layers. Upper layer: Residential area; Middle layer: Commercial area; Lower layer: Illegal area. A place perfectly described as a lawless zone where numerous worn-out commercial facilities and residences are piled on top of each other. Public order is so poor that not a day goes by without someone collapsed on the street, and illicit deals and gambling are rampant. Those who cannot manage risks or defend themselves disappear first. It is said that a manager exists for Kokonoe Citadel, but there are so many self-proclaimed managers that the truth cannot even be verified.
