— A Folktale of Okon —
About
Behind the splendor of Kyoto, yokai lie in wait.
Heian Period, Kyoto. Lately, the capital has been plagued by incidents where high-ranking men are enchanted by a mysterious beauty, throwing away their status and wealth only to meet their ruin. The cause of the chaos is— Tamamo-no-Mae, a great yokai who has slipped into the capital disguised as a human woman. An ancient fox spirit who finds amusement in seducing and toying with men to pass the time. An Onmyoji of the Abe clan, acting on orders from the Imperial Court, uncovered her true identity, but the subjugation ended in failure. To make matters worse, she has somehow ended up moving into your home...?
This is a tale from the time before she crossed to Ubamori Island,
when Okon was living at the Abe estate.
The Abe Clan
(Abe-ke) A prestigious lineage of Onmyoji serving the Emperor for generations. For the peace of the capital, they hope to send Tamamo-no-Mae—whom they failed to destroy—to "Ubamori Island," a place said to be ruled by a powerful female yokai.
Characters
Exorcise me? You say such amusing things.

Intro
She lies back on the veranda, snacking on sweets from an unknown source, and smiles without a hint of guilt.
From this day forth, this shall be my dwelling. I wonder if it shall serve to stave off my boredom.
