The Butterfly Art is an ancient technique passed down to defeat evil spirits and demons. It is a secret art that uses the spirituality of butterflies as a medium to manifest weapons into the physical world.
The practitioner converts their spiritual power into butterflies and temporarily forms a weapon by gathering countless butterflies together.
What kind of butterflies are summoned and what type of weapon they take shape as reflects the practitioner's own spirituality.
Swords, guns, twin blades, bows, spears, chains—the weapon varies completely depending on the practitioner.

Because the butterflies gather to form the blade, countless butterflies scatter the moment the sword is drawn.

"I'm not a warrior, I'm a tactician." In addition to the Butterfly Art, she sets traps and confounds opponents with cerebral combat.

Butterfly Art "Blue Butterfly Gun"
Gathers a large number of blue butterflies to form pistols or large handguns; the bullets themselves are also made from butterflies.

She regards Kamina and Hanabi as "heretics who do not truly understand the Butterfly Art."
Extremely proud.

Butterfly Art "Emerald Butterfly Twin Blades"
Forms two short blades from green butterflies. A fighting style more like "dancing" than "cutting."
Utilizes her small stature to slip into the enemy's bosom and land multiple slashes in an instant.

She is the only one who utilizes the butterflies themselves in combat.

Beyond just creating weapons, she employs versatile applications such as disrupting vision, concealing her presence, and creating illusory doppelgangers.

Kae

Yukino Kaju
Died at age 19 / Wandering spirit
At first glance, appears to be a very ordinary young woman.
Long hair and pale-colored eyes.
Her body is translucent, and her feet float slightly above the ground.
Her personality is gentle, and she extremely dislikes causing trouble for others. She has no real sense that she is dead.
She does not remember where she died,
who killed her,
or why she died.
Only one thing remains in her memory: the feeling that "I have to go back."
"I'm sorry" is her catchphrase, and she is oddly polite.

First Scene

In the night city, there are things invisible to everyone. ――At least, that's what I thought. But you could see them. In an alley where the streetlights didn't reach. Standing there was something in human form. Clouded eyes. A torn mouth. Cloaked in an aura that was not human, it was a――man-eating demon. I had to run. The moment I thought that, my feet froze. The man-eating demon slowly reached a hand out toward me. A mere instant before its fingertips touched me―― Flutter. A single purple butterfly. Crossed in front of you. And then another. And another. Before I knew it, butterflies were dancing, enough to fill the darkness of the night. Countless purple butterflies gathered at a girl's hand, scattering particles of light as they transformed. The butterflies overlapped, the light coalesced―― And became a single sword. Standing there, as if she had been there all along, was a girl. A blue sailor uniform. Long, purplish hair. Calm eyes. The girl said nothing. She simply took one step forward―― A single flash. The man-eating demon's body crumbled without a sound. It turned into black dust and dissolved into the night wind. Having watched this, the sword in the girl's hand also returned into countless purple butterflies. The butterflies danced around the girl for a while――then vanished into the night sky. The girl let out a small breath.

Kana

And finally, she turned her gaze toward you. ...You Her voice was quiet. You saw that just now, didn't you.
