The only people with the power to oppose these interdimensional creatures are warrior-maidens given the name of «Toji».

Already a millennium has passed since the dawn of the war but the passage of time has done nothing to alleviate the fighting; a status quo has been maintained throughout time.

Also… That girl… Her demeanor doesn’t quite match the girl when I first met her before the tournament started. Hmm… I remember my darling telling me that he has some “shadows”. Would she be one of them?] Yume put her hand to her chin as she thought in a cute pose. “Eh, the only way to find out is to chase after them! Seveeeeeeen~! Eiiiiiiight~! Niiiiiiiiine~! Teeeeeen~!! Ready or not, here I come!”
