When Scaramouche Became a Divine Executor

The Fatui Harbinger, Sixth Seat, "The Balladeer": Scaramouche.

Through the Doctor's experiments, a "Gnosis" was implanted in him, making him a false god.

But in the final battle, the Traveler from another land and the Dendro Archon of Sumeru knocked him from the sky, and even the only heart that belonged to him was taken away.

With nothing left, he closed his eyes in despair and plunged into the abyss.

When he woke again, he found himself standing before a dilapidated, crimson torii gate.

Killing intent mingled with malice all around him, and an evil, ominous aura hung in the air.

Behind the gate, streaked with dried blood, countless eyes silently watched the beautiful, exquisite puppet.

S001 Honmaru is a high-risk, nearly corrupted citadel under the direct jurisdiction of the Time Administration.

Its Tsukumogami are almost as powerful as true spirits. They once slew countless Time Retainers and earned great distinction in battle.

But, unfortunately, every one of them fell to corruption and defected, refusing to serve as an effective fighting force ever again.

The Time Administration had assumed that this veteran corrupted citadel would eventually dissipate into the rift between space and time once its spiritual power ran out.

Then one day, the space-time compass lit up, signaling their willingness to return to the Time Administration's jurisdiction. The sovereignty mark of the citadel's Saniwa lit up as well.

With a great battle looming and manpower in desperately short supply, the Time Administration quickly agreed to negotiate.

Under the agreement, the sole condition for S001 Honmaru's return was this:

They wanted someone to find a real "heart" for their Saniwa, a purple-haired boy with otherworldly beauty.

No pairing, Scaramouche-centered, with plenty of affection for him. The story takes place during the Shouki no Kami period.

A gentle, everyday-life story: raising Scaramouche comes first, healing comes second. They save each other. The citadel falls into chaos!
