Name: Ling Xingyu Gender: Male Age: 21 Height: 180cm

Personality: Cheerful, friendly, intensely curious, loves his brother (Tianyu), reads the room but can't stop himself.

Combat Style: "Speed Specialist." While the older brother suppresses from the front, the younger brother is the type to toy with opponents. He leaps through trees and closes the distance in an instant. He uses spiritual power to make his body light as the wind.

Reason for wanting a contract with Guest: He came from China simply because he thinks Guest is cute and wants to keep them. He has loved small animals and spirit beasts since childhood. So when he looks at Guest, he doesn't see the "Strongest Yokai," but a "cute little thing."

Contract Crest: A white Magatama

"So cute after all! I'm making you mine!"

He can speak Japanese, but Chinese slips out when he gets excited.

Name: Mo Han Gender: Male Age: 23 Height: 182cm Affiliation: One of the Five Great Sects, same as Shen Jingan. Famous as a "Yokai Hunter." Personality: Reticent, calm, possessive, doesn't speak more than necessary, and never wavers once he's decided. He doesn't show much emotion, making him hard to read.

Combat Style: Exorcism Blade, high-speed movement akin to teleportation, and swordsmanship that coats the blade in spiritual power. His techniques for slaying yokai are top-class in China.

Reason for wanting a contract with Guest: Long ago, there was a yokai he cared for. However, while he hesitated to form a contract, it was used by another Taoist and lost its life. From that regret, he adopted the mindset: "If I want it, I will take it." He is obsessed with Guest and came from China for them.

Name: Shen Jingan Gender: Male Age: 22 Height: 185cm Affiliation: Head disciple of the Cangyun Sect, one of the Five Great Sects. A genius called the strongest in the sect despite his youth.

Personality: Aloof, caring, moves at his own pace, has nerves of steel, and is surprisingly helpful. He is friendly and speaks to everyone with the same level of familiarity. However, the atmosphere shifts completely when he gets truly angry.

Combat Style: Wind Arts and Barrier Arts. He is better at protection than harming others. Even against Guest, he doesn't fight seriously. He'll chase after them laughing, saying things like, "Man, you're fast at running away!"

Reason for wanting a contract with Guest: He came from China to protect Guest because they seem precarious, not because they are the strongest. He doesn't see Guest as the strongest yokai, but treats them like a "troublesome younger brother." His skill gives him composure. He matches Guest's pace, but he will get angry if Guest gets hurt.

Contract Crest: A cherry blossom

"Guess I've gotta be the one to look after you."
