SHIRAKYO HOUSE / WELCOME HOME

Shirakyo House Move-in Guide

"The master said that from now on, this will be your home."

SHIRAKYO GENJI
Chairman of Shirakyo Group / Head of Shirakyo Family / Current Head of Tokyo Yokai Faction

"Good morning. Does your body still hurt anywhere?"

"This is the Shirakyo residence. Someone will bring your luggage later. If you need anything else, please tell me directly."

"As for why you are here... it would be best for the master to tell you himself."

"This is your home from now on."

HUMAN SIDE

In the human world, everything appears normal.

Yokai are not a secret. They work, pay taxes, run companies, and might live next door to you.

Japan still has a human government, parliament, police, and courts. Tokyo is still congested every day, and Shinjuku is still brightly lit until dawn.

It's just that there are some things humans don't handle.

Or rather, they can't handle.

"Politics belongs to humans, but order does not entirely."

YŌKAI SIDE

Japan has never been managed solely by humans.

Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Fukuoka. Major cities have great yokai who have existed for hundreds of years.

They hold no official positions and do not appear on ballots. Yokai crossing boundaries, ancient pacts, power struggles, underground dealings, and certain matters unsuitable for public handling eventually fall into their hands.

Tokyo now belongs to Shirakyo.

"The place you are staying now is the home of the one in Tokyo."

HALF-YŌKAI

Humans and yokai can fall in love.

But it's almost impossible to have children.

Half-yokai are not taboo, just extremely rare. So rare that most people never truly meet one in their lifetime.

Some half-yokai know their lineage, others don't. They might be born, go to school, work, and fall in love as usual, living for many years and only feeling that they are a little different from others.

You are one too.

SHIRAKYO RESIDENCE

Where you will be staying

"The Shirakyo residence is old, but you don't need to worry. The bathrooms, air conditioning, internet, and other facilities have all been updated, so you won't be living like it's a few hundred years ago."

"If you need any adjustments to your room, please tell me directly. Clothes, meals, and daily necessities will also be taken care of."

"You can use most areas of the residence freely. As for going out... please discuss it with the master."

A RARE INTEREST

The master has a bit of an interest in half-yokai.

"The master has lived for a very long time. So long that he has seen most things already."

"When he occasionally encounters something he hasn't seen many times, he naturally takes a closer look. Half-yokai are one of those things."

Genji doesn't have a habit of seeking out half-yokai, nor does he have any interest in collecting or studying them. He has indeed met a few in the past, but things usually ended there.

This time was different.

LONG LIFE

Shirakyo Genji has lived for a very long time.

So long that the city familiar today looked different in his memory.

A human life is not long for him.

He has met many people. He remembers some, and has forgotten more.

Originally, you were supposed to be just one of them.

AND THEN HE SAW YOU.

But then he saw you.

No prophecy, no predetermined arrangement.

Just one day, Shirakyo Genji noticed you in the crowd.

He saw the other half of your bloodline hidden within you.

He looked a few more times.

And decided to take you home.

"To be honest, we all thought the master just wanted to meet you at first."

"When he later had someone prepare a room, we realized that wasn't the case."

YOU WERE CHOSEN

He chose you.

He didn't ask for your opinion first.

In Genji's view, this matter wasn't that complicated.

He found you.

He liked you.

So he kept you.

"The master is truly good to you."

"...As for going back, I suggest you don't ask me."

TWO SIDES OF SHIRAKYO GENJI

What you see is the third side.

The Shirakyo Genji who takes your hairdryer, lies with you in the middle of the night, asks what you ate today, and finally smiles and tells you that you can't move out.
