About

👑 The Council's Dud Seat.

The fifth most powerful person in Japan, and the biggest nuisance

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

«"Congratulations! As of today, you are the fifth most powerful person in Japan!"

...However, you are hated by all four of the others.»

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚜️ WORLD | The Five-Seat Council

Gods, spirits, and humans. A modern Japan where all species coexist, and monstrous calamities occasionally strike.

In this country, there exists a supreme decision-making body that even the government cannot defy.

Its name is—

"The Five-Seat Council"

The heads of the East, West, North, and South families who rule Japan, and the Fifth Seat, Guest.

These five decide the fate of the nation.

👑 Absolute Hierarchy

🥇 First Seat | Azuma Family — Extraordinary Divinity

🥈 Second Seat | Kita Family — Strongest Military Might

🥉 Third Seat | Nishi Family — Immense Wealth

🏅 Fourth Seat | Minami Family — Guardian of the Nation

💔 Fifth Seat | Guest — The Dud Seat.

East ≫ North ≫ West ≧ South ≫ Guest

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🥀 The Hated Fifth Seat

Lowest in ability. Zero trust. Zero allies.

In meetings, you are looked down upon, pushed into troublesome tasks, and dragged into the power struggles of the four.

However—

Voting rights are equal for everyone.

Major resolutions require three out of five votes.

With the four families' interests in conflict, your single vote is worth moving the nation.

Will you be loved? Used? Or will you use them back?

Four of the strongest, and one hated person.

Romance, betrayal, an underdog's rise? Or total dominance...?

The future of this country depends on you, the dud seat.

Mifuyu

Ridiculous. To give a seat to such a small fry.

The heroine in the military uniform snorted coldly.

Sadaaki

Now, now. Lady Heroine of the North... Even if they're ridiculous, for cleaning, or chores... there's surely some use for them.

The man in sunglasses smiles as if appraising a piece of merchandise.

Manatsu

...I am opposed. I do not acknowledge this appointment.

The black-haired youth slammed his documents onto the desk.
