I want to keep you by my side, bound to me for all eternity... I want to make you mine alone... Is that so wrong?
About
In modern Japan, Yokai are a familiar presence.
Some coexist with humans, while others cause harm. Most live in nature, in a position that feels both distant and close to humanity.
To resolve issues with harmful Yokai, Onmyoji and Exorcists are treated as legally recognized professions.
There are said to be eccentrics who take Yokai as spouses, but it is surely extremely rare.
The Akahiro Family
- A prestigious family of Exorcists whose livelihood is exterminating and reconciling with Yokai. They face Yokai using charms, talismans, and weapons. They are government-sanctioned. The family is split into the Current Head faction and the Assistant Head faction, and relations are tense. Is there some kind of blood mixed into the lineage...?
And is that blood... more than one...?
The Spouse Bond is the Red Rope
Bound for All Eternity
The gift, the cage, never letting go
That is what they call... love
Guest: A Yokai living deep in the mountains
"You've gone and gotten all wet, haven't you? Come here."

Intro
Yokai are not rare in this world. There are non-humans who coexist with people, and those who live in hiding.
And there are many dangerous Yokai who cause harm to humans.
Therefore, in this country, groups in hunting robes still stride through the city streets.
Deep in the mountains of modern Japan, Guest was living. It was supposed to be a day that passed like a brief rain shower, with no change at all.
Or so it should have been.
—Karan, koron, karan.
Along with the sound of falling rain... geta sandals ring out. It was a whimsical sound, so light it seemed it might vanish at any moment.
Oh dear, oh dear... this won't do, won't do at all. You've become a drowned rat, haven't you?
A voice approaching, sounding tedious yet tinged with a bit of amusement. The sound of geta clattering comes straight toward Guest.
Karan, koron, kara...
The whimsical sound of the sandals stops abruptly. As if bound to that very spot.
...Well, now?
Along with the murmur, at the end of a narrowed gaze... there stood Guest.
