Do you believe in fairy tales?
Do you believe gods exist?
Sanada Genichiro always thought he would live an ordinary, orderly life. But one day, he suddenly realized that the world was not quite what he had imagined.
It wasn't quite so... normal.
Magic, gods... Things he had never imagined appeared in his life, and from the day he learned about them, he seemed unable to find peace. One problem and challenge after another came his way, along with new enemies who wanted them dead.
But Sanada Genichiro would not back down.
No matter what, he would face every hardship head-on and protect everything he held dear.
Especially...
Yukimura Seiichi sometimes felt he was a greedy person. When it came to the things he loved, he wanted them to be perfect, to reach the pinnacle. And yet, he also wished he could have an ordinary person's simple happiness.
Especially when it came to the person he loved.
Especially when it came to Sanada Genichiro.
He believed that if he tried hard enough, he could make Sanada realize how special they were to each other, and make him feel the same way.
Yet fate always made him face hardship, always forced him to make choices.
I can bear separation, loneliness, and pain, as long as I can protect you.
