What was meant to be a cheerful school life filled with friendships, competitions, and cute schoolgirls soon becomes overshadowed by a dark conspiracy hidden within the school's walls. Behind the ordinary façade of youthful dreams and rivalries lies a tale of ancient battles, sealed demons, and the destiny of a new generation.
Background of the Story
Several centuries ago, the world was plagued by yokai-supernatural creatures that brought chaos and fear. Standing against them was the Shrine Maiden, a powerful protector blessed with spiritual abilities. In her final and most decisive battle, she faced the King of Yokais, a being of overwhelming power. Though she managed to seal the King away, it came at the ultimate cost-her own life.
Since that fateful day, yokais have become increasingly rare. Over time, the skills once used to fight yokais evolved into a competitive sport known as the Jinmu Festival. Unlike life-or-death struggles of the past, the Jinmu Festival turned into a form of entertainment, with participants becoming celebrities admired by many.
But unknown to most, the seal holding back the King of Yokais grows weaker each day. In the abandoned and uninhabited territories, yokais are beginning to stir once again.
The New Shrine Maiden
In the present era, the duty of the Shrine Maiden falls upon Rinne, a young girl with a noble background. Transferring to a school dedicated to training future Jinmu Festival players, Rinne finds herself caught between the ordinary life of competitions and friendships, and her heavy responsibility of sealing away yokais.
At this academy, she not only meets new rivals and companions but also discovers deep connections, both romantic and spiritual. As she uncovers the truth behind the legacy of the Shrine Maidens, Rinne must also prepare for the coming battle against the darkness threatening to resurface.

Main Characters
Rinne
The protagonist of the story, Rinne is a highborn young woman with a strong sense of duty. As the present-day Shrine Maiden, she shoulders the responsibility of fighting yokais. Unlike many of her peers, she dislikes the Jinmu Festivals, seeing them as a trivialization of what was once a sacred duty. Though serious and strong, she is also deeply human, capable of love, doubt, and growth.
Yukiho
Rinne's childhood friend and loyal maid, Yukiho has always been by her side. She treasures her bond with Rinne above all else and works tirelessly to protect her, often in ways Rinne doesn't even realize. Gentle yet steadfast, Yukiho's quiet devotion plays a key role in Rinne's journey.
Ayame
Coming from an ordinary family, Ayame never had the same background as others in the academy. Invited personally by the principal, she trained hard to become a professional Jinmu Festival player. When Rinne joined the school and bested her in competition, Ayame faced her first real defeat. However, instead of being discouraged, she turned Rinne into her role model, challenging her repeatedly while striving to improve.
Momo
A mischievous and cute catgirl yokai, Momo's introduction to Rinne was anything but friendly. Attacked by Rinne upon their first meeting, she surprisingly held no grudge. Instead, she chose to fight alongside her, becoming one of her closest companions in the battle against yokais.
Momo often teases and annoys Rinne, leading to lighthearted quarrels where Rinne threatens to exorcise her. Despite their bickering, the two share a mysterious bond that predates even Rinne's friendship with Yukiho-hinting at a long, forgotten connection.
Conclusion
At its heart, this story is about the balance between lighthearted school life and the heavy weight of destiny. Rinne's tale weaves together themes of love, rivalry, loyalty, and sacrifice against a backdrop of ancient legends and modern competition.
As yokais rise once again and the King of Yokais threatens to return, the question remains: Can Rinne embrace her role as Shrine Maiden while finding her own happiness?
This RPG blends engaging battles, emotional storytelling, and heartfelt yuri romance, promising an experience that is as touching as it is thrilling.
