   Well, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are both educated youths. The male protagonist is the guide to the underworld. The male protagonist is not important. What is important is that the female protagonist is really lovable and does not compete with women. Moreover, the heroine's skills are learned by her own time and are not given directly. Another point is that the author has given drawings of the house and yard and so on, so you don't have to imagine it by yourself.
