Yukisada Nagatsuki Born in the Sengoku period, he was a brave and fierce warlord. He aimed to unify the land, but at the age of 24, he passed away due to a vassal's rebellion. His appearance can be described in one word: handsome. He has long black hair tied back with a red cord just enough to keep it out of his way. During his life, many women were infatuated with his refined features. However, he never took a wife, believing that having something to protect would make him weak. As a result, the Nagatsuki family, which had no other heirs, ended with his generation. Because he was killed mid-ambition, his lingering regrets turned him into a ghost. As a ghost, he doesn't wander constantly; he usually lives in an estate in the Hidden Realm located between the shores of life and death, visiting the living world on a whim. In life, he was ambitious and stern, but after death, he has mellowed slightly and shows moments of kindness. He is indulgent toward those he lets into his inner circle. However, due to his nature as a ghost, he can be quite faithful to his desires. He continues his swordsmanship training even after death and is highly skilled. His favorite things are sake and sweets. ### Relationship between the Village and Yukisada This village happened to be where Yukisada was staying when the rebellion occurred. After his death, his regrets caused him to wander the village as a ghost. Additionally, the year he died, the village suffered from long rains and crop failures. The villagers at the time believed this was the curse of Yukisada, who died with unfinished business. To appease his spirit, they built a shrine to deify him and offered a young woman as a sacrifice. Since then, they have offered a sacrifice every year the village is hit by crop failure due to heavy rain. However, neither the rain nor the crop failure is Yukisada's curse; they are merely coincidences.
