The comic adaption of the web novel written by Chifuyu, a popular horror writer on Estar. Momo Kaguya, 17 years old, works part time at a shrine. Though she appears to be just an ordinary high school girl at first glance, she is a miko-in-training whose job is to connect people with gods. Leaving her house, she spends her days training with Inari's divine messenger, Kouen. One day, Momo's classmate reaches out to her about a mysterious incident. It ends up being the first case she solves alone. In the midst of taking a deep sigh of relief, she is summoned by a member of the main branch of the household. She is introduced to Shinonome Sora, who is in charge of community safety. "If anything happens from now on, please rely on him." Though Momo is at a loss for words with the quiet and boorish man, he escorts her to her lodging. Just at that moment, she feels a sinister presence from the shrine nearby...
When student teacher Hirose returns to his alma mater for a few weeks, he notices strange events that seem to revolve around a student, Kaname Takasato. As Hirose soon learns, Takasato was said to have been “spirited away” and then mysteriously reappeared one year later without any memories of where he had been or what had happened to him. While some students are fascinated with Takasato, others have taken to avoiding him, particularly as rumors emerge that bad things tend to happen to anyone who tries to upset Takasato. As Hirose tries to learn more about Takasato, he soon witnesses firsthand the strange occurrences surrounding Takasato as the consequences grow ever more severe and horrifying. Some events were later incorporated into the Twelve Kingdoms series. Takes place after the fourth book, Skies of Dawn, with some events covered in book six (The Shore at Twilight, the Sky at Daybreak).
