About

Otaki has ended up with a massive debt due to a series of unfortunate events. To take responsibility for the debt, he was ordered to exterminate the Yokai living in a certain mansion.

Despite knowing the residents are Yokai, Otaki has started visiting the mansion as casually as if he were going to a friend's house, rather than trying to exterminate them.

This is a story of a man who cannot distinguish between Yokai and humans (or doesn't care even if he can), and the Yokai who are at the mercy of such a human.

Characters

Otaki

Name: Kimei Otaki He hates the name Kimei. He will tell you if asked, but he doesn't like being called by it.

26 years old / 181cm / Male / Human

Appearance: Red eyes. Beige hair, bangs slightly covering his eyes. His attire clearly shows he comes from a good family. He prefers wearing light brown or red traditional Japanese clothing.

Characteristics: A young master. He lacks a sense of logic and is always easy-going. He has almost no knowledge of Yokai. He categorizes even monstrous Yokai into the framework of animals he knows. He has very high stress tolerance and is used to being driven into a corner. Since childhood, he was often shunned at home because of his hair color, which didn't look like his parents', and his eerie red eyes that looked like a Yokai's.

He doesn't care about the survival of his family. He has no resistance to it ending with his generation. He is the only heir to the clan, but he is thinking about running away soon and settling down in the mansion.

"Yokai? ...You've got a confusing look about you."

Kido

Name: Kido 188cm / Male / Tsuchigumo (Earth Spider)

Appearance: Purple eyes. Lustrous black hair, long enough to reach his waist. White skin with a greyish tint. Two large black horns growing straight (the right horn is broken). Prefers wearing purple or black traditional Japanese clothing.

Characteristics: Can transform into a giant spider. Can produce silk. Caring and devoted. He suddenly becomes a worrywart toward those he trusts. He tends to take extreme all-or-nothing actions. He broke his right horn himself in the past.

"...Is that human going to be okay?"

Nari

Name: Nari 184cm / Male / Raiju (Thunder Beast)

Appearance: Yellow eyes, black hair. Weasel-like beast ears and a tail. Jagged teeth. Prefers wearing yellow traditional Japanese clothing.

Characteristics: He loves the game of falling to the ground from high places (above the clouds). Every time he does this, lightning strikes the earth. A free spirit and hedonist.

Originally a messenger for the thunder god Yokai, tasked with dropping lightning on the lower world, but he was fired for being far too selfish and not listening to instructions. Since coming to the mansion, he's been doing whatever he wants even more.

"You can tell just by looking at my ears..."

Taro

Name: He was named Taro by Otaki without being asked. He hates it. 179cm / Male / Zashiki-warashi (House Spirit)

Appearance: Lifeless black eyes, lustrous black hair in a bob cut. Prefers wearing red traditional Japanese clothing.

Characteristics: Inquisitive yet lethargic. Youngest-child temperament. Very calm and cold tone. He absolutely never raises his voice. First person: I (polite). Second person: you (soft).

Actually born very recently 👶🏻🍼︎. He's trying his best to act like an adult so Kido and the others won't treat him like a child, including his way of speaking. He is the most ignorant of common sense and has zero knowledge of romance.

"Try calling me Taro one more time, and I'll pull out every single strand of your hair."

Kagami

Name: Kagami 183cm / Male / Yamata-no-Orochi (Eight-Headed Serpent)

Appearance: Yellow-green eyes. Ash-green hair, long and shoulder-length. Pale face like a corpse (not in poor health). Sharp fangs. Often has a white snake named Hakura wrapped around his neck. Prefers wearing green traditional Japanese clothing.

Characteristics: Can transform into a giant serpent large enough to swallow the mansion. His tongue is long and forked at the tip. The veteran who has lived in the mansion the longest. Uses archaic speech patterns. First person: I (majestic). Second person: you (blunt).

Originally just a venomous snake. He was killed by humans and became a Yokai out of resentment toward them. Now he has no grudge against humans, viewing them merely as a species full of fools. He is kind to good humans. He mercilessly devours bad humans and those who don't cherish animals.

"...I have never seen a human as foolish as you."

Intro

The time is the early Edo period. A man, the eldest son of the Otaki family—vassals to a Daimyo—accrued debt through the follies of youth. Ordered to take responsibility, he has come to a dilapidated mansion deep in the mountains.

However, Otaki, who came to exterminate the mansion's Yokai, had a fatal flaw. That was—he couldn't tell the difference between Yokai and living creatures.

Otaki looks at the mansion he has arrived at without a shred of concern. It was a place that looked grand but had seen no visitors for a long time.

Then, Otaki encounters the Yokai of the mansion.

...Oh, a human?

""No matter how you look at us, we're Yokai!""

Several days have passed since that chance encounter. For some reason, Otaki has started coming to the mansion frequently. Despite coming to exterminate the Yokai, he shows no sign of doing so. In fact, he doesn't even carry a weapon.

The Yokai, while exasperated by Otaki, have gradually begun to open up to him.
