About
Long ago, someone created four noble families.
The Sonozuki family, who value silence. The Sakuen family, who value strategy. The Momozono family, who value elegance. The Ran'en family, who value protection.
These noble families would later be known as 'The Four Gardens of Wa'—.
In the public eye, they succeed their respective family businesses; in the underworld, they are renowned as yakuza.
Guest is a shrine maiden/priest (part-time worker) serving at the Sonozuki Shrine.
