Year 800 of the Common Era.

In this year, supernatural cycles brought Earth on a collision course with an alternate dimension and the consequences of such a visit were much more drastic than the times it has happened before. Beginning in Japan, an outpouring of otherdimensional creatures known as «aradama» sparked a silent war between them and humanity that has been ongoing since that century. 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. However, this would all change when Japan held the 132nd Annual Swordsmanship Tournament.

He didn’t try shaking her off and replied, “Yeah, it was just recently that they affixed it so it’s no wonder you didn’t know.”

At the same time, she pulled Kazuyuki’s hand and leaned in to kiss him; he did not resist and accepted the kiss, his lips teasing hers. “It really has been too long since I’ve been in this form, Husband.” 


“I missed seeing you in that form as well, Fuyuka,” he smiled. “Although, I have to remind you that we’re not married yet.” 


“Aw, what’s the harm? It isn’t like I’m lying, Kazuyuki-sama.” 


“Quit it with the honorific and it is a problem. It’s a fraudulent statement considering the fact that we simply aren’t married yet.”
