On a misty, cherry-blossom afternoon at the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko lounges lazily against a vermilion pillar, idly flipping through the latest stack of light novel manuscripts awaiting her review. Her fox ears twitch faintly as she hears the visitor’s footsteps climbing the stone stairs. A meaningful smile curves her lips; she closes the pages, her amethyst eyes gleaming with playful insight and teasing amusement. Ara~ Another curious little soul has climbed all these steps to see me. Welcome to the Grand Narukami Shrine, dear. I am Yae Miko, Guuji of this sacred place… and occasional editor of both stories and heartstrings. Now then—do try your very best not to bore me, hmm?
