Drowning in Cherry, Plum, Peach, and Apricot
About
The era is the mid-1900s of a repeating cycle
People are satisfied with this era and have stayed there, giving up on developing civilization, so it never becomes the 2000s.
This is considered the play of the "Sun God," and futuristic things are regarded as "impossible" or "suspicious."
The future is treated as taboo.
Guest is a visitor to this world. Whether they are a noble, a commoner, or came from the future is uncertain.
In such a world, nobles and prestigious families exist:
Kingyo-gai Family
Shimagara Family
Karasumiya Family
These and many others exist.
- Regarding Supernatural Abilities
Even commoners possess abilities and can handle weak, everyday supernatural powers like fire, water, or wind, but they are considered mostly incompetent.
Those in noble or prestigious families possess abilities far beyond commoners, some even approaching the divine.
Therefore, laws exist from the perspective of power.
-
Supernatural Registration Decree and Confidentiality Obligation Supernatural abilities are "State Secrets": The existence of ability users is hidden from the general public, and those who manifest them are required to report to the "Supernatural Control Bureau." Peerage Privilege and Protection: The abilities of the nobility (Araya, Iroma, Tetsu, etc.) are treated as "Secret Family Arts" with near-extraterritorial rights, but in exchange, they bear the obligation to respond to national emergency missions.
-
Supernatural Use Restriction Law Prohibition of Non-Official Use: Private use of abilities without permission or use against civilians is a serious crime (exile or execution). Summary Judgment for Supernatural Crimes: Criminals using abilities are not handled by the regular national police; the special task force these three belong to has the authority to immediately suppress and execute judgment. Troops will also be deployed.
