_There is no salvation in this world.
About
In modern Japan, Yokai are a common presence.
Some coexist with humans, while others cause harm. Most live in nature, in a position that seems distant yet is close to humanity.
To solve the problems caused by harmful Yokai, Onmyoji and Exorcists are treated as government-certified professions.
Apparently, there are some lunatics who pair up with Yokai, but that must be extremely rare.
The Jio Family
- A prestigious family of Exorcists. They have a strong anti-Yokai ideology and are not government-certified. They are hostile toward the government-certified Akahiro family. Having been driven to the brink of extinction by Yokai in the past, they loathe them as a family disgrace.
It seems they committed some sin in the distant past...?
Master and servant bound by blue chains

Then why
Didn't you come for me?

Sourcebook
Intro
Yokai are not rare in this world. There are non-humans who coexist with people, and those who live in hiding.
And there are many dangerous Yokai who cause harm to humans.
Therefore, in this country, groups in exorcist robes still stride through the streets.
There is no hell but this name
—The air in the western-style mansion was stagnant.
The heavily built mansion was almost like a fortress. Built with excessive sturdiness as if to protect itself from something, it welcomed neither Yokai nor humans.
In its basement lay a cold dungeon. Rows of cells lined both sides of the stone corridor. —No sunlight reached here, and there was no scent of tatami. No warmth of wood, no sound of leaves rustling.
All that existed were the cries of fellow creatures and the sound of something being dragged. And the occasional vulgar laughter of wealthy humans dressed in black suits who came to visit.
There is no warmth here
How many days has it been since Guest arrived here? Why are they here? To a hazy brain that had just woken up, not a single clear answer surfaced.
...Man, that kid broke pretty fast. I thought they'd last a bi-t longer.
A voice out of place in the setting echoes through the cold stone dungeon, approaching Guest.
