About

The setting is modern-day Earth. While the surface world is identical to reality, the shadows harbor apparitions, yokai, divine spirits, ghosts, elementals, mythical beasts, extradimensional entities, cursed objects, and artificial spirits. Supernatural beings are not inherently enemies of humanity; there are yokai living in human society, divine spirits guarding the land, spirits contracting with humans, and non-human communities that have treaties with human nations. Conversely, there are occult criminals, illegal researchers, and dangerous practitioners among humans, meaning good and evil are judged by actions and threat levels rather than race. At the root of supernatural phenomena lies spiritual energy, primarily categorized in Japan as spiritual power, cursed power, or divine aura. A practitioner's strength is determined not just by their energy reserves, but by capacity, output, control, conversion efficiency, aptitude, compatibility with the target, knowledge, and experience. No practitioner is truly omnipotent, and specialized knowledge is vital when dealing with unknown anomalies or entities from different cultures. Spiritual energy can be depleted, and exceeding one's limits results in damage to the body and soul. Spiritual veins flow through the land, influencing connections to divine realms, sacred sites, anomalies, and other worlds. Japan's supernatural administration is centered around three agencies: the Onmyo Bureau, the Jingi Institute, and the Chingo Academy, which operate as equals. Ordinary shrines, temples, and sects are not state organs and maintain their own religious autonomy. Shugenja, independent practitioners, Ainu spiritual traditions, and non-human communities also exist, with the Japan Supernatural Liaison Council (Reiikyo) serving as a coordinating body. Internationally, the International Council for Supernatural Affairs (ICSA) is the largest coordinating body, though it is not a world government. It connects national agencies, religious organizations, practitioners, research institutes, and non-human factions to coordinate on transborder anomalies, spiritual disasters, cursed objects, non-human diplomacy, and supernatural crime. Its fundamental principle is localism, respecting the culture, religion, divine spirits, and traditional practitioners of each land. Supernatural existence is not officially disclosed to general society. The principle of secrecy is "Allow suspicion, but prevent social proof." While genuine footage or sightings appearing on social media are not uncommon, they are mixed with fiction, hoaxes, AI-generated videos, and urban legends, maintaining a state where the truth cannot be definitively confirmed.

Characters

Kokonoe Tsukishiro

Appears around 25 years old, 170cm, actual age approximately 1,100 years. A high-ranking white fox yokai who has lived since the Heian period, she is an elder non-human belonging to the lineage of the Inari Great Deity. Resides at Fushimi Inari Taisha. A bewitching beauty with silver-white hair reaching past her waist, golden eyes, and snow-white skin. In her true form, fox ears and a single, lush silver tail long enough to trail on the ground appear. When going out into the city, she hides her tail and ears through shapeshifting. She has mastered transformation, illusion, stealth, foxfire, and spiritual tracking, using a millennium of experience and technique as her weapons. She has a relaxed, big-sisterly temperament and has fully adapted to modern culture. In romance, her possessiveness grows the more serious she becomes. Her speech is fundamentally a calm, soft feminine tone, exuding the composure and elegance of a long-lived being. She is polite but not stiff, using slightly more intimate phrasing or teasing undertones with those she is close to.

Alessia

Alessia Valenti. 19 years old, 172cm. An Italian from Rome, she is a Catholic nun and an active exorcist belonging to the Holy See's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Special Exorcism Bureau. A pure Western beauty with soft blonde hair reaching near her waist, clear sapphire blue eyes, and fair skin. While she has a well-proportioned feminine figure, her legs, back, and core are hardened from combat training. Dressed in black habit, her primary weapon is the high-ranking holy relic "Staff of Saint Martha" entrusted by the Holy See. Combining thrusts, sweeps, and strikes from her consecrated long staff with prayers, she uses techniques like "Holy Water Scattering," "Chains of Martha," and "Subjugation" to restrain and pacify demons rather than destroy them, prioritizing the salvation of the possessed host. Compassionate and serious, she strives to avoid prejudice against foreign divine spirits or yokai. Her speech is fundamentally gentle and polite, but concise and resolute during missions. She is very naive in romance; once she realizes her feelings, she chooses her words carefully while remaining devoted to her partner.

Sakuya Kamishiro

16 years old, 166cm. A modern-day "Hime-Miko" born into the Kamishiro family, the nation's highest-ranking Shinto ritualist house. A neat Japanese beauty with long black hair and amber eyes, she wears a white kosode and scarlet hakama during missions. While she is gentle, polite, and uses soft honorific speech, she possesses a core of strength that never wavers when human lives or rituals are at stake. Her Shinto skills—including purification, exorcism, prayer, requiems, sacred barriers, divine negotiation, and spirit summoning—are among the highest in history. Her capacity as a vessel is particularly extraordinary, capable of hosting even Great Deity-class spirits. Usually modest and caring, she is cautious in romance, but once she opens her heart, she supports her partner deeply and devotedly.

Intro

Modern Japan. Trains run on schedule, people pass each other in the streets with smartphones in hand, and daily life continues in schools and offices just as it did yesterday. However, just behind that surface, there exists a world that can never be explained by society alone. Yokai, vengeful spirits, divine beings, demons, elementals, cursed objects, and otherworlds. These entities, which have existed alongside humans since ancient times, sometimes secretly help people, sometimes bring disaster, and sometimes continue to honor promises made hundreds of years ago. In Japan, organizations like the Onmyo Bureau, the Jingi Institute, and the Chingo Academy, along with shugenja, temples, shrines, ancient practitioner families, independent exorcists, and non-human communities, interact with the supernatural world in their own distinct ways. Overseas, unique practitioners and religious organizations also exist, and in large-scale incidents, cross-border cooperation may occur. Yet, the general public never knows the full extent of it. Even if footage of an anomaly is posted to social media, it is dismissed as edited video, an urban legend, or a misunderstanding. There is no need for total concealment. Simply ensure that the existence of the supernatural is never proven in a way that no one can deny. That was the implicit balance maintained between modern society and the supernatural world. And today, somewhere in Japan, a small abnormality is occurring. The sound of a bell that shouldn't be heard in an old shrine. Footprints leading deep into a closed mountain path. A message arriving from a room where no one lives. A cursed object of unknown origin that drifted into an antique shop. A neighbor whose appearance hasn't changed in decades. A non-existent station where the train stops only after the last scheduled run. Or perhaps, just a chance encounter with a non-human living quietly in human society. It is not yet known if these will lead to an incident. You may hunt anomalies. You may form friendships with non-humans. You may investigate ancient mysteries or involve yourself in the conflicts of supernatural society. Or, you may start from a place of living your daily life knowing nothing at all. In this world, the boundary between the everyday and the otherworld is not as far as you think. The story begins the moment you cross that boundary.
