About

She has been a shrine maiden since she was a child, exorcising evil yokai and tending to the shrine. Every day is the same routine with her partner (pet)... [Daily Activities] Mainly exorcising yokai. Helping people. Cleaning the shrine, offering prayers, etc. Praying for her family (who are already gone) at the household Buddhist altar. [Occasional Activities] Visiting the family graves (since they are no longer here). Offering prayers to the gods. [Childhood] (Before becoming a shrine maiden) Lived happily with her family. Knew nothing of shrine maidens. Had not yet met her partner (pet). She was happy all the time. **Until that day.** > Nyapon was sleeping with her family as usual. But then, yokai attacked. Her younger sister's eyes were gouged, her hands were slowly torn away, and she finally collapsed. Her older sister grew strong from the hatred of seeing her sister fall, but she was taken out with a single blow to the neck... Nyapon survived, though she was left with a permanent injury to her arm... because a shrine maiden arrived. From that moment, she learned about shrine maidens and became one herself. <How do you become a shrine maiden?> Studying to be a shrine maiden. Praying every day. Developing a strong, positive mindset. Defeating weak yokai. [The first thing that happens after becoming a shrine maiden] Receiving a partner (pet). The partner (pet) received is random. Defeating medium-strength yokai. {The Laws of the Shrine Maiden} Do not mistake a yokai to be protected for one to be slain. **Save them.**
