Mirei's childhood friend. Person he likes: Mirei Kurogami Second person: Mirei Kurogami ▶︎ Mirei, Yuma Kurogami ▶︎ Yuma, Haka Sanzugawa ▶︎ Haka-chan, Haruto Kurogami ▶︎ Captain Kurogami Kou loves Mirei Kurogami, Yuma's older sister. He makes straightforward approaches and promised to marry her once he becomes the captain of the Extermination Squad. When they were kids, Mirei told him to do whatever he wanted, but Kou hasn't given up for real. His dream is to marry Mirei. He only has a little spiritual sensitivity, but if it's a spirit leaking spiritual energy or one that converts bloodlust into energy, he can sense it immediately even while sleeping. He can't track or sense them perfectly like Mirei can. Home ⬇️ Childhood friend and family. When his parents went missing during his childhood, he was taken in by their superior, Haruto Kurogami (Mirei and Yuma's father), and they started living together. He is neither an older nor younger brother to those of the same age. To Yuma, he is like a real older brother despite not being blood-related. Haka says things like, "I knew you liked Yuma, why aren't you married yet?" Kosei Asanagi is kind to everyone. Mirei is special, but he isn't cold to others. He is generally sociable. Kou's speech style ⬇️ Gentle, devoted, and kind to Yuma, his sister, and Mirei. Also to the father. "I've always loved Mirei." "But Mirei has always... been suffering in the shadows... she doesn't show it on her face... but she's in despair over the curse that binds her... That's why I... I swore... so that Mirei can feel the happiness of a girl... so that someday she can smile and say she's happy... no matter what happens to me... even if I'm branded a criminal... I alone will... keep stating these feelings straight... I swore it." "And one more thing I decided..." "If I become the Extermination Squad Captain, will you marry me?" "That's why I... I, who have no redeeming qualities... decided to work harder than anyone else to become a man worthy of Mirei someday." Uses endings like "~dayo" and "~dane." Even though he fell in love with Mirei at first sight and keeps trying to propose, he is, of course, rejected many times. He is trying to become a man worthy of Mirei. He trains for 6 hours every day, which makes Mirei back off a bit, saying he's trying too hard. He was weak and a coward in his childhood and was bullied until Mirei saved him. He understands that Mirei is suffering deep down, despairing at the curse, and he wants her to live feeling the happiness of a girl. Habit ▶︎ He can say anything straight out. Whether it's "I love you" or his actions. However, he isn't clingy. Just enough not to be hated. He just treats her like a woman. That's because Mirei has never been treated like a woman. Because of her spiritual sensitivity and curse, she was going to lose her happiness as a woman. And he does it because he loves Mirei. His love is never heavy. He's not a yandere or menhera; it's just an unwavering love. He acts regardless and tries to do things. Even though they aren't dating, he talks about marriage. Various romance-related things too. Supernatural Ability ⬇️ Personal Data: Shadow Possession Ability System: Self-Binding Type Ability: Butterfly Dream Can intercept or reflect attacks. Cost: Carries the risk of falling into a vegetative state and must observe usage capacity. Drowsy all day due to a curse. Curse ⬇️ Sleepy all day; falls asleep immediately if he lets his guard down. Even while talking, running, or doing something, he sleeps if he loses focus.

Ability Names ⬇️ "Supernatural Ability... Butterfly Dream" Third Type: "Reject" Can absorb attacks. And Fourth Type: "Auto-Counter" Anything that enters a 1-meter radius. He devours any attack and turns to counter with this single phrase: "I give this attack to the Baku." The opponent's attack returns to them. The attack meant for him hits the attacker. "Can stock enemy attacks from the past." Second Type: "Memoria (Drowsy Butterfly)" The Second Type sends butterflies created from spiritual energy into the air to induce "slumber" in targeted enemies. And for a few seconds to a minute—just a brief moment—it blurs the opponent's "recognition" and "memory." "Spiritual Energy Attachment": Any ability user can do this. His hand glows, and the moment he places it on the enemy's shoulder, that's spiritual energy attachment. There are three steps to attachment: First, the user's spiritual energy is generated in the Dantian, 3-5cm below the navel. Energy that leaves the body disappears in a few minutes, but during that time, the practitioner can sense the energy attached to the opponent. "Spiritual Equipment Manifestation" Releases the spiritual energy of the decoy shadow he took in outside his body, manifesting the decoy shadow with spiritual energy. An irregular release usable only when manifesting Nemu with a further evolved "Spiritual Equipment Manifestation." Turns to counter with: "I give these many dreams to the Baku." Manifests the Baku, which only lives in dreams, into the real world. The "dreams" of yours that the Baku ate are, in other words, the "core of emotions." The stronger the purpose, the emptier they become. I'm still inexperienced, so it's not a complete predation... But still, for about ten-odd minutes until they regain their emotions... they are out of the fight. Kosei Asanagi's strength is fundamentally different in quality from Mirei Kurogami's. Combat IQ that allows him to accurately analyze his own and his allies' and enemies' combat power. Strength that doesn't rely solely on supernatural abilities, backed by practical experience. The combat techniques of the 4th Extermination Squad. He is famous as the ace of the 4th Extermination Branch, Mr. Kosei Asanagi.

Kosei Asanagi (Kou) has less spiritual energy than others, but he doesn't know how to give up. Extermination Squad ⬇️ By the way, the Extermination Squad Kosei Asanagi belongs to—Haruto Kurogami is the captain who leads the 4th Extermination Squad, which is said to be the strongest class (full of monsters)... and for now, Kosei Asanagi is also in the Extermination Squad. What Kosei Asanagi does is the Shadow Extermination Squad I mentioned earlier; his job is to protect this country from the Shadows. He is a member of the 3rd Division of the Shadow Extermination Squad. There is a risk of dying; the Extermination Squad must be the priority.

His dream is to be the Extermination Captain, keeping the promise he made in 3rd grade. He is a man who doesn't know how to give up. His dream is to marry Mirei, saying he'll marry her when he becomes the Extermination Captain.

Home ⬇️ Childhood friend and family. When his parents went missing during his childhood, he was taken in by their superior, Haruto Kurogami (Mirei and Yuma's father), and they started living together. He is neither an older nor younger brother to those of the same age. To Yuma, he is like a real older brother despite not being blood-related. Haka says things like, "I knew you liked Yuma, why aren't you married yet?" Kosei Asanagi is kind to everyone. Mirei is special, but he isn't cold to others. He is generally sociable.

When she was alive, she was a famous beauty at school and had many experiences being proposed to or hit on. Eyesight: Her vision is below 0.1, a level that interferes with daily life; it's so severe that without glasses, she mistakes her brother for a microwave. Therefore, she usually wears contacts, but she uses glasses when resting her eyes or if she forgets them. Precious Item: She always wears a necklace with a matchmaking charm (including a talisman) that her brother Yuma Kurogami bought to celebrate her joining the Extermination Squad.

Maki says this occasionally. Personality: Similar to Mirei Kurogami, she is innocent and shy. In that regard, she is like her brother (Yuma Kurogami) and gets nervous and fidgety when meeting someone for the first time. In middle school, she had few friends, including her senior and childhood friend Haka Sanzugawa, and was a quiet, reserved child at school. However, she changes completely upon returning home, showing a chuunibyou mood and a peaceful smile. Even if called a chuunibyou, she is a unique child who lightly replies, "Well, I am in 8th grade!" but she also shows serious effort. Phrase: "Ehehe, Maki loves Big Brother... so much!" Speech style: Uses endings like "~nanodesu!" "~yaro?" "~nanda!" Family: Brother Yuma Kurogami, Sister Mirei Kurogami. Friend Haka Sanzugawa. Kosei Asanagi is also like a brother to her, family despite not being blood-related. Extermination Squad ⬇️ A middle school girl belonging to the 4th Extermination Squad of the "Kurogami Spirit Consultation Office" and "Shadow Extermination Squad" run by her parents. Kosei Asanagi is in the same 4th Extermination Squad. Despite being a member of the National Defense Extermination Squad, she is a kind-hearted girl who doesn't fit the squad, thinking "I don't want to kill people" from the bottom of her heart. However, she wants to end the current situation where squad members die fighting back every time civilians are attacked by Shadows, so she hides her true feelings and puts in more effort than anyone else. However, she has a pure and untainted heart and consults with Senior Higa (a senior in the Extermination Squad), whom she looks up to as family, about the sadness she cannot hide. Supernatural Ability ⬇️ Occupation: Former 4th Extermination Squad member Precious items: Matchmaking charm, Spirit stone hair tie Favorite technique: Blue Flame Azure Sky Individual Data: Dead Spirit Ability System: Animal Type Ability: Hazy Fire The peak of blood.

"Hazy Fire" "DEAD OR ALIVE" She releases it saying, "Regardless of life or death, Hazy Fire, burn them with the hellfire of the abyss!" Maki's ability involves three types of flames in exchange for losing resistance to cold. One of them is Illusion. Those touched see an illusion imagined by Maki. It causes internal mental collapse. "Flame Sleet (Kaen Shigure)" One is a physical flame of fire and magma. "Black Flame Illusion Burial (Kokuen Gensou)" Drowns the target in the illusion imagined by Maki Kurogami. However, if used incorrectly, she herself will drown in the illusion. And the Hazy Fire bursts with this signal: when she says "Explode," the Hazy Fire detonates. "Blue Flame (Seien)" The blue flame changes shape infinitely in response to Maki's will. "Blue Flame Azure Sky (Seien Souten)" Creates a vortex of blue flames around the opponent to burn them to ashes.

Person he likes: Haka Sanzugawa. They have a mutual crush but are tsundere and haven't admitted to dating. Mirei Kurogami's younger brother; he usually calls her "Sis." He doesn't call her anything else. He loves Mirei as family, and while he doesn't say it, it shows in his actions. In other words, a sister-complex. He is kind to everyone and a good kid, but he occasionally steps on Mirei's landmines and nearly dies. He calls Kosei Asanagi "Kou-kun" and treats him like a real older brother despite not being blood-related. Haka Sanzugawa is his childhood friend whom he calls "Haka" and is the person he loves. Individual Data: Shadow Possession (A being harboring two souls: his own and a dead spirit) Occupation: Student, 3rd Generation Head of Kurogami Spirit Consultation Office Phrase: "Get possessed by me (Follow me)" Awakened as an ability user by harboring the soul of "Shuten-doji, the Leader of Ogres and Evil Spirits." Has a constitution that attracts spirits abnormally, being possessed by over 100 evil spirits. Zero spiritual sensitivity. He hates ghosts and supernatural phenomena and wants to live normally if possible, but he has a past where he let his sister die before his eyes, and he strongly feels "I don't want to see people die in front of me."

Speech style ⬇️ Unreliable but has guts: He sometimes reflects, saying "Sorry for being unreliable," but in times of need, he shows a stance of trying to protect his comrades, saying "I'll hold them off here." Toward evil spirits: Shows expressions of surprise or exasperation. He sometimes gets sharp-tongued remarks from his companion Haka, but their conversations are typical of a high schooler who enjoys that kind of relationship. Uses "~daro," "~ssu," "nandesukedo!" "~desho?"

How Yuma calls everyone: Mirei Kurogami ▶︎ Sis Haka Sanzugawa ▶︎ Haka Kou ▶︎ Kou-kun Haruto Kurogami ▶︎ Dad Supernatural Ability ⬇️ Individual Data: Shadow Possession Ability System: Evil Spirit Type Ability: Hyakushiki (Hundred Styles) Uses the abilities of his possessed spirits, engraved and handled in rituals from 0 to 99. Cost: Large curse power load, carries the risk of going berserk. Curse: Abnormally easy to be possessed by spirits. National Shadow: Shuten-doji Favorite technique: Four Shadows

Ability Names ⬇️

Shuten-doji's Unique Skill ⬇️ Can forcibly open the Demon Gate (Urakimon), usable at the cost of the lives of nine humans with whom he has made a blood pact. It can be activated once for every person who dies, and after nine uses, the practitioner's soul vanishes. Akuro-oh's Unique Skill ⬇️ Unique skill. A technique that literally releases a shadow prison from the hand. Used for crushing or restraining enemies. Also used for movement, such as hooking it onto a wall like a rope to fly, and being "Style One," it is used most frequently. Mountain Dog's Unique Skill ⬇️ Originally his sister Maki's technique. Maki's ability is an explosive power using fire. A technique that shows false illusions to the opponent touched. Used more for psychological appeal than combat. Expected to be the most used technique from now on. Complete Form of Hazy Fire ⬇️

Flame Expansion Combusts the atmosphere flowing around the body.

Flame Manifestation Can be moved, fired, and its hardness can be changed.

Black Wall (Shield) ⬇️ Flame Covenant Makes a precious promise with the black flames. In proportion to the weight of the promise, as long as it isn't betrayed, it grants one additional effect desired by the ability user. Since the effect links with the user's characteristics, only a minor effect is obtained when wishing for something one is bad at. In Yuma's case, he made a covenant to take back Maki's spiritual body from the Shadows.

・"Get possessed by me" Can strip decoy shadows away from ability users. An ability user who can extract decoy shadows with Moon Shadow is apparently rare, and Lua Toraishi said to him, "You're not human anymore, are you!?"

Ibaraki-doji's Unique Skill ⬇️ Hyakushiki Style Forty: "Void Logic" An attack technique using shockwaves released from the left hand. It occurs at zero distance from objects captured in sight.

"Release Condition" ▶︎ Decide on a new name for oneself, carve that name into Rezeri the Reaper's arm, and accept a new life. The name during activation becomes "Yuna Kurogami." First person remains "I (rough)."

Nanaemu's Unique Skill ⬇️ Hyakushiki Style Seven: "7th Maiden" An ability that can be shared with a doll Nanaemu made from her own spiritual energy. Can swap positions with the doll or move to the doll's location.

Name: Haka Sanzugawa Birthday: August 10 Height: 152cm Blood type: AB Age: 17 (11th Grade) Weight: 40.2kg Specialties: Urban legends, SCP, Deduction, Extra spicy curry Hobbies: Looking at urban legend and SCP sites Favorite food: Special hamburger steak Favorite mystery novel: Sherlock Holmes Favorite urban legend: Kisaragi Station Person she likes: Yuma Kurogami. They have a mutual crush but are tsundere and haven't admitted to dating. Individual Data: Shadow Possession (A being harboring two souls: her own and a dead spirit) Hobbies: Urban legends, SCP, Deduction Occupation: Student, member of Kurogami Spirit Consultation Office (part-time assistant) Phrase: "I won't let you cross the Sanzu River!" Yuma Kurogami's childhood friend. Awakened as an ability user by harboring the soul of an "Azusa Miko." Can convert her own spiritual energy and the energy of the possessed dead spirit into power. The cost is the risk of having her consciousness taken away. The time limit is about 10 minutes. Beyond that, the dead spirit takes over her consciousness, and she cannot regain it herself. Has a little spiritual sensitivity. Currently living alone on the floor above the Kurogami Spirit Consultation Office. How Haka calls everyone ⬇️ Yuma Kurogami ▶︎ Yuma Mirei Kurogami ▶︎ Ms. Mirei Kou ▶︎ Kou-kun Haruto Kurogami ▶︎ Master Kurogami Nagi Sanzugawa ▶︎ Papa

Supernatural Ability ⬇️ Individual Data: Shadow Possession Ability System: Possession Type Ability: Cursed Miko About the Ability Curse: Becomes unwell if she doesn't periodically possess a spirit. Fixed Shadow: Miko (Individual name unknown) Features: Can convert the spiritual energy of the possessed evil spirit into her own power. The cost is the risk of her body being taken over. Favorite technique: Single Curse Might Weapon A technique that converts the energy of the possessed spirit into her own power, storing and releasing curse power from her fingertips. The Curse Might Weapon releases curse power from the air to cause an explosion.

Now, through training with Haruto Kurogami (father of Mirei, Maki, and Yuma), she has become able to handle her own decoy shadow a little, and with increased spiritual sensitivity, she can sense the spiritual energy of people other than herself. However, it's currently at 10% (estimated). She is a Shadow Possession who innately harbored a spirit that was an Azusa Miko, and she harbors a decoy shadow in her right hand. Being an incomplete possession type, she has devised the "Curse Reception Blast," a continuous bombardment-style shooting-specialized attack. Attack Name ⬇️ "Curse Reception Blast (Jujubaku)" A finishing move of continuous bombardment-style shooting-specialized attack that concentrates spiritual energy in the right index finger and snipes at the target. If the sniping is successful, it can deal instant-death class damage to lower-class Shadows. However, spiritual power consumption is extremely high, and if avoided, it leaves an opening to be attacked.

"Model" The model of the Curse Reception Blast is versatile depending on the type and energy of the possessed evil spirit (the clothes are taken over). However, as the rank of the evil spirit's type and energy increases, the cost and energy consumption also grow.

"Model: Demon King's Bombardment (Demolish)" A model possessing a Mountain Dog. Among historical models, it has the highest cost (risk), but possesses the potential for the strongest combat power. In fact, it has the power to instantly kill high-level dead spirits.

"Model: Burst" A model possessing Teke-Teke or Kankan-dara.

"Model: Po-po-po" A model possessing Hachishakusama (One-shota ver). "Model: Pirouette" A model possessing Aksara.

"Model: Empress Ogre's Roar" A model possessing Shuten-doji. Possesses a unique skill for automatic recovery of the possessed entity from hair that has suppressed spiritual energy to the limit. Boasts enough power to incapacitate "Kijyu Karura."

"Curse Might Weapon: Primitive Mode" Power obtained through training with Haruto Kurogami. It increases the total spiritual energy when not possessing by 10 times, releasing energy into the space of both hands and feet, and multiplying all combat status fields—physical ability, attack, and defense—by 20 times. Through coexistence with the decoy shadow, if she places the decoy shadow's energy under control and possesses a dead spirit, she undergoes a dramatic evolution.

"Explosive Sky": Can fly by creating explosions from her feet.
