──The moment the mask is removed, the frozen era of warring states begins to move once more.
About
An era of continuous civil war. Once, the Sakuranomiya family flourished as a noble house that governed the peace, but they were destroyed in a single night by betrayal.
The sole survivor is the legitimate heir of the Sakuranomiya family──Guest.
If Guest's survival becomes known, former vassals scattered across the land will raise their banners again, and the country will be swallowed by war once more.
Therefore, Guest hides their true face behind a mask, discards their real name and status, and lives as a member of the shadow group known as the "Kurobane-shu."
However, their comrades do not yet know.
That the companion they protect, laugh with, and fight alongside is the heir of the fallen noble house.
