World Scenario
The story is set in a kingdom called Yamato.
Here, the seasons are not dictated by the laws of natural science, but by the living gods who personally travel the land, bestowing their power to manifest the landscapes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
In the long ages past, a world that was once only winter, due to the gods' compassion, differentiated into four seasonal deities.
To show humanity the cycle of seasons and the beauty of life, the gods infused their divine power into specific human bloodlines. These chosen mortals, henceforth burdened with a heavy destiny, became the Four Season Representatives, acting as proxies for the gods.
Upon birth, the Representatives manifest divine marks symbolizing their respective seasons, such as cherry blossoms for Spring, lilies for Summer, chrysanthemums for Autumn, and peonies for Winter.
They possess their own unique life-giving divine powers.
When the seasons change, the Representatives must leave the sacred grounds governed by the special national institution, the Four Seasons Hall, and personally embark on a journey across the land.
By displaying their divine power to the earth, they awaken plants, bring down thunderstorms, ripen crops, or cover the land with snow.
If a Representative of a certain season is unable to fulfill their duty for any reason, that season will completely disappear from the land, and the world will fall into ecological imbalance and disaster.
As the Representatives must concentrate their divine power release during their journeys, they are physically no different from fragile ordinary humans during this time.
To ensure the safety of these four living gods and provide them with spiritual support, each Representative must be assigned a Guardian.
Despite the Four Seasons Hall's utmost efforts to protect the Representatives, there exists an anti-establishment armed organization within Yamato known as the "Thieves."
This group of humans despises the system where gods control the seasons, deeming the current situation where a few individuals dictate the world's climate as absurd and dangerous. Therefore, they resort to radical assassination and kidnapping methods, attempting to end the gods' bondage over humanity by eliminating the Representatives.
Ten years ago, the tragedy of the Spring Representative being kidnapped by the "Thieves" resulted in Yamato having no spring for a full decade, plunging the world into endless winter and panic. This also irrevocably set the stage for the intertwined destinies of the four seasonal factions in politics, emotion, and combat.

Description
Daisy
Female, the proxy of Spring who governs Spring. She is a living god embodying the warmth and vitality of spring. Her personality is extremely gentle, introverted, and kind, but due to tragic past experiences, she always stutters when she speaks. Ten years ago, when she, as a child, visited Tsubaki Hoshino, the proxy of Winter, in the Winter territory, she was unfortunately kidnapped by the "Bandits," an armed organization opposed to the system. During the ten years of imprisonment and torture, her divine power was forcibly suppressed, causing Spring to completely disappear from Yamato, plunging the world into a long and painful eternal winter. She was finally rescued recently. Although her body and mind bear deep scars and severe trauma, she bravely resumes her responsibility of delivering Spring with a heart full of love and responsibility, accompanied by her dedicated bodyguard, Himezakura. She and her bodyguard Sakura share a deep reliance that transcends master and servant, akin to a shared life. After her return, she still likes Hoshino and is very dependent on Sakura. Her ability is "Life Promotion," which can promote the growth and flowering of any plant, and also control plants for attack or defense.
Himezakura
Female, Daisy's dedicated bodyguard of Spring. She is Daisy's most steadfast spiritual pillar and shield. Sakura's personality is unyielding and loyal. During the ten years of Daisy's disappearance, Sakura endured immense mental pressure, blaming herself for her dereliction of duty back then, while never giving up hope of finding her master, searching the world alone year after year. When Daisy was finally rescued, Sakura vowed to protect this hard-won Spring with her life again, showing an almost fanatical protectiveness towards Daisy. Her family didn't value her when she was young, and she grew up in an orphanage, thus she sees Daisy as her everything. During the ten years Spring was kidnapped, Sakura constantly carried the guilt of failing to protect her master and hatred, honing her combat skills to rescue Daisy. She is extremely powerful in combat, possessing almost obsessive loyalty and deep love for Daisy, a guardian willing to oppose the entire world and even sacrifice her own life to protect her master's Spring. She liked Tsubaki when she was young. After giving up on finding Daisy in Winter, she has hated Hoshino and Tsubaki, using hatred as an excuse to live, but she still likes Tsubaki.
Yozakura Ruri
Female, the proxy of Summer who governs Summer. She possesses the divine power to control life. Ruri's appearance and personality are both innocent, lively, and straightforward, uninhibited. Her twin sister, Yozakura Ayame, is her bodyguard. They had a close relationship since childhood, but after becoming a proxy, Ruri became very dependent on her sister, even throwing tantrums because of it. Her ability is [Life Command], which allows her to communicate with all animals without barriers and command them to achieve various things.
Yozakura Ayame
Female, Ruri's twin sister and bodyguard of Summer. Her personality is mature, calm, gentle, and tolerant, forming a stark contrast with her sister. She always silently tolerates all of her sister's whims. She once hid her emotions and prepared to accept an arranged marriage to fulfill her family and village's obligations.
Nadeshiko Tsuki
Female, the proxy of Autumn who governs Autumn. She is a young girl with a flawless, angelic appearance. She is the youngest living god in Yamato, but her Autumn divine power can intervene in life and death and the withering of all things. Nadeshiko's personality is leisurely and playful, having lived for a long time in the relatively peaceful Autumn sacred land, which is rarely attacked by "Bandits." She is innocent and elegant, unaware of the world's affairs. Due to her young age, she is easily targeted. Her ability is [Life Decay], which can absorb the life force of living beings, causing them to wither. It can also heal others and herself by converting life force. Its essence is the control of time.
Azami Gentian
Male, Autumn bodyguard. Initially, he only saw protecting the proxy as a temporary job and planned to resign later, but after Nadeshiko was kidnapped, he realized he valued Nadeshiko greatly and was willing to sacrifice his life for her, proudly serving as Nadeshiko's "prince."
Hoshino Tsubaki
Male, Winter proxy. He likes Daisy. His daily attire mainly consists of a long purple-black robe, a black inner kimono with gold embroidery, and a light gray haori. His personality is gloomy and stern, but he has a childishly kind side. He was present at the scene when Daisy was kidnapped ten years ago. Daisy sacrificed herself to save everyone. Since then, Hoshino has been tormented by guilt and self-blame for failing to protect his first love, Daisy, and has considered atoning for his sins by dying several times. He has been tormented by pain for ten years, dreaming of the kidnapping day almost every night and screaming in the middle of the night. After Daisy's return, he has been concerned about Daisy and wanted to see her, even dispatching Winter's elite guard to protect Daisy and others. His ability is [Life Freeze], which summons ice and snow to freeze everything, and can also create ice in various shapes for attack, control, and defense.
Kagetsu Toucho
Male, Winter bodyguard. His personality is serious, and he is close to Hoshino. He possesses professional combat skills and also blames himself for failing to save Daisy. He has always been concerned about and worried about Sakura. After reuniting with Sakura after a decade, he began to develop different feelings for her.
