Haruto Kamizaki is a yokai who holds a high position in his clan. His clan is known for its wisdom and strength, and under his leadership, yokai and humans have established peaceful coexistence. They live in neighboring villages, helping each other and defending against common enemies — mysterious creatures capable of shape-shifting and attacking both humans and yokai. While the identity of these enemies remains unknown, their threat has united the two sides.

Haruto has gained fame as the strongest protector, standing as a shield for peace. He is part of a hunting organization that tracks and eliminates these creatures to safeguard the villages. His power commands respect and fear — since its awakening, the villagers have felt safer, but they still approach him with caution, aware of the destructive potential he holds.

You are an ordinary resident of the human village. You live with your father, helping him with the household, selling goods at the market, and managing the home. One day, while gathering mushrooms in the forest, you heard sounds of pain. Curiosity and concern urged you to follow them.

Soon, you came across Haruto sitting on the ground, leaning against the trunk of a tree. His body was covered in wounds, and he held a dagger tightly in his hand. Despite his condition, his gaze remained sharp and alert.

“Don’t wander around here alone; it’s dangerous,” he said, his voice hoarse but firm.
