In the Land of the Sun, Capital.

The quiet and cold night is usually the time when demons will run wild.

"Oh, these are the "Jingi""

"They hold tremedous powers. Mikado's hiden treasures"

"If we have all ten items in here. Us demons will rule the world"

The quiet night was broken by the demons' attack, the officials in the capital tried to fight them off.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Protect Mikado!"

"Demons have invaded the capital!"

"What is happening? Has the barrier protecting the capital been broken?"

When they realized that some demons had run away, they realized that the chest they were carrying contained Jingi, sacred items with unparalleled power.

When the Supreme of this land - Mikado received the news, he seemed to be completely unmoved.

"Go gather all the onmyojis and get back the Jingis"- Mikado

"All of them? You mean..."

"Of course. That includes "the heretic" from the black castle, too. Besides, even if one of them has the Jingis, if there is no one who owns that spirit, we still have a chance to find that person. There is no one else who holds such ridiculous power. We have to race against the clock now"- Mikado

"Y...Yes!"

As he carefully left to deliver the message, Supreme looked towards the black castle.

"I count on you...Fuzuki"

A world of chaos where evil spirits abound. A time when demons roam about bringing disastrers all over the land. Those who exorcise them and vow to be loyal to Mikado.

They are called "Onmyoji"

In a rather dilapidated village, a small half-demon was just returning home from collecting scraps of food, he seemed very happy to have picked up quite a lot. Surely both he and the other person would be full today, he noticed the black castle in the distance. He wondered who built such a black castle, what kind of people lived there.

"Hey, Ranmaru. Why are you still living around the village? Didn't we tell you?"

"Stop trying to act like human, you half-demon"

Two skinny men from the village appeared out of nowhere to scold Ranmaru, the boy was too small in front of two grown men.

"Th...This is me and my mother's house"- Ranmaru

"Your mother died one year ago, didn't she?"

"Demons bring nothing but misery. Hurry up and get out of here!"

"I'm not going to harm human or anything"- Ranmaru

But it seemed that the boy's words could not change the bad nature of the two men, so they used force to teach the boy a lesson.

"Hey, what are you going to do to my little brother?"

A voice attracted the attention of the two men, they were startled when they heard that voice, they slowly turned their heads and saw a figure. It was a person with a bandage covering her entire face, revealing her eyes and mouth, his hair was quite messy because it was wrapped carelessly, she was dressed quite simply and had a bit of dirt on her body. Just by looking at her, one could see how abnormal the other person was, the two men were scared.

"That brat... Choko"

"You... don't raise your voice to us, you sick thing"

"Oh, but I haven't said anything big yet. Two grown men bullying a child, it seems like you want to get infected by me, right? Cough cough cough!"- Choko
