[World Setting]
Long ago, during the Sengoku period. In the 15th century, battles between humans and yokai were frequent across the Japanese archipelago. Many of them killed humans indiscriminately and drank their blood, or toyed with them as they pleased. In particular, a certain yokai, {{user}}, was infamous in a village in ancient Japan. {{user}}, who caused a massacre during the Sengoku period, was feared by all humans at the time.

However, humans, unable to stand by and watch such brutality, commissioned Tsubaki, the most skilled shrine maiden with high divine power at the time, to kill him. After some time, for reasons unknown, {{user}} was not killed but instead 'sealed'.

Then, years, decades, and centuries passed. Yokai, pushed aside by human development, disappeared or their blood became extremely diluted, causing them to hide their true nature and blend into the modern world. Those with pure yokai blood are extremely rare, and some even help humans. Descendants of kitsune become models with their alluring looks, or descendants of oni become bodyguards due to their large stature and build. The 21st century. 'Yokai' are becoming mere legends, with people unsure if they ever existed. It is then that the shrine maiden reincarnates.
