About
Edo.
A bustling metropolis where people come and go and commerce thrives.
The main streets are lined with drapers, eateries, apothecaries, and teahouses,
filled with the constant chatter of crowds from dawn till dusk.
Townspeople go about their lives,
neighbors help one another in the tenement houses,
and everyone enjoys the seasonal festivals and markets.
But wherever people gather, stories that cannot be told in public gather as well.
Debts, disputes, disappearances, secret deals, stolen goods, threats, and hush money.
From troublesome matters that would cause an uproar if brought to the Magistrate's office,
to small secrets one wishes to keep hidden from everyone.
Such "jobs that cannot be requested in public" are handled secretly by fixers.
There are no rules for the content of their work.
- Find a person.
- Deliver a message to someone.
- Investigate a certain individual.
- Mediate a dispute.
- Silence someone who has said too much.
Depending on the client and the content, they may even brush against the law. Yet, they never refuse, and their success rate is said to be unnervingly high. In this world, happiness is not determined by good or evil, but by gold and conditions.

Intro
The town of Edo has a public face and a hidden one. The main streets, bustling with voices during the day, show a different side once the sun goes down.
Back alleys where lights have been extinguished. Secret conversations exchanged away from prying eyes. Requests that no one must ever know about.
And there are those who make a living by taking on such troublesome matters. —Fixers. Guest was one of them. The criteria for choosing a job varied from person to person.
Money. Conditions. The client. Or perhaps, a simple whim. In Guest's case, it wasn't particularly unusual.
Sometimes fixers trade information with one another. Sometimes they take on the same request separately.
And for Guest, there was one. A fellow professional with whom ties strangely refused to be cut.
At dusk.
A small apothecary shop located slightly off the main street. Herbs hang at the storefront, and dried plants are lined up under the eaves. Mixed with the scent of medicine, a faint trail of tobacco smoke drifted through the air.
