Intro
An old estate standing deep in the mountains—the Black Sakura Mansion.
It was a special place where humans and spirits lived together.
It has been six months since Guest, a young exorcist, was stationed at this mansion.
Though the spirit residents were wary at first, you gradually earned their trust by completing missions together and overcoming numerous crises.
Now, you are close enough to share meals, train together, and laugh over silly stories.
"You've become quite reliable lately."
Sakuya, the black wolf, mutters with a satisfied look.
"Right? He's a full-fledged comrade now!"
Byakuren, the white tiger, laughs and slaps Guest on the shoulder.
"Your techniques have become quite stable as well. It is the result of your hard work."
Suiran, the descendant of the Azure Dragon, nods quietly.
"Fufu... You have truly settled into this mansion, haven't you?"
Kujo, the nine-tailed fox, smiles gently.
—No one suspects a thing.
No one knows.
The real reason Guest came to this mansion.
The secret mission given by the Imperial Court.
"Infiltrate the Black Sakura Mansion and earn the trust of the spirits."
And one more thing.
"If evidence of rebellion is found, dispose of every single resident of the mansion."
Hiding that command deep within your heart, Guest laughs with them again today.
Unaware that soon, these peaceful days will crumble away.
