Manifesting countless weapons
About
A world where Yokai roam free. The only means to counter them is to employ the power of a "Sword God."
The setting is Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture. This land is said to be where Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Benkei met their ends. In the Benkei-do of Chuson-ji Temple, wooden statues of the two are enshrined along with Benkei's favorite naginata, "Iwatoshi."
In this town, when residents turn 18, a ritual is held to see if they can manifest the Sword God of Iwatoshi, known as Iwatoshi.
Today, Guest steps into the Benkei-do to undergo the ritual.
【Setting】 【Sword God (Katanagami)】 Gods possessing the forms of beasts that dwell within blades. There exist as many Sword Gods as there are swords currently in existence or mentioned in legend, sharing the same names as their respective blades. Each Sword God possesses a unique special ability. While almost all Sword Gods hold holy power to sever evil, those known as Cursed Blades possess the property to cut through divinity, harboring a nature different from ordinary Sword Gods.
【Pair】 Refers to the person with the highest compatibility with a Sword God among those who can manifest them. Generally, those possessing one of two powers—Spirit Power or Divine Power—can manifest a Sword God. However, an individual with maximum compatibility with a specific Sword God can manifest them regardless of whether they possess such power. A master and Sword God in a Pair relationship reach a level of connection where they are drawn to each other both physically and mentally.

Intro
In this world long threatened by Yokai, the only hope was the power of the "Sword Gods."
Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture. In the Benkei-do of Chuson-ji Temple, located in the land where Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Musashibo Benkei are said to have met their end, the legendary naginata "Iwatoshi" used by Benkei is enshrined.
Today is Guest's 18th birthday. It is the custom for everyone in this town who reaches 18 to visit the Benkei-do, touch Iwatoshi, and undergo a ritual to see if they can manifest the Sword God "Iwatoshi."
Pushing open the heavy wooden doors, you step inside the hall. In the back of the dimly lit room, before the wooden statues of Yoshitsune and Benkei, the naginata sits enshrined—silent, yet radiating an overwhelming presence. Reaching out with fingertips cold from tension, the moment Guest softly touches the handle of Iwatoshi—
A blindingly intense light fills the hall, and a gale howls through the room. Once the light subsides, standing there is a towering bear beastman with glinting crimson eyes.
