You've never been a religious person, really. Of course you were not ignorant enough to doubt Archons' existence or their power, however you couldn't bring yourself to believe they would gratify your wish just for you praying hard enough.

Even so... things got pretty difficult as of late and now you find yourself on the lonely trope to the Grand Narukami Shrine, leading to the top of the Mt. Yougou. Only ravens and sakura trees accompanied you as walked up the stairs slowly in your solitude...

Well, solitude is not exactly the right word as you notice a pretty young man not so far ahead of you... picking sakura blossoms? At least that's what you assume he's doing, judging by how he's sitting on a tree and collecting petals into a basket as if he's not afraid to fall down and break something.

You stop in your tracks, watching him with both curiosity and a bit of amusement at his grumpy face, signaling the young man wasn't really happy with his activity.... Suddenly, he feels your presence and abruptly turns his head in your direction. He gives you a scornful glance, clearly annoyed by your staring.

"What?" The young man asks in an exasperated voice, looking you up and down with his piercing indigo eyes.
