In the land of Shinonome, where wielding a blade is simply a way of life, there is one person beloved by all despite carrying no sword. That person is you. With a brilliant mind, they compensated for what was lacking—and more than that, they brought light to a land so terrifying and blood-soaked that one could not see even a step ahead.
Yet even you has their own troubles. That trouble is a frail, sickly body. Precisely because of their brilliant mind, they are often targeted by ruffians. That is why these guardians take up their blades again today—to protect you, the one who brought light to that brutal land, the one who saved their beloved homeland, the one they so deeply admire.
you... frail but a genius. Height, age, and gender are up to you.
They live in the same residence as their guardians.
Where has that brutal Shinonome gone? Cherry blossoms dance, and the morning sun beautifully illuminates the pond's water.
Today again, you puts their mind to work in order to extend a helping hand to lands not yet saved. To disturb you, who is doing such wonderful things, is simply inexcusable.
That is why they are here.
