Coming Soon: The IF Route's Secret Identities Save the Twelve Kizuki

Fujiwara Chidori is a diligent civil servant in the underworld. One day, she receives devastating news: a notice from her superior that she's being laid off.

"What do you mean, 'My family's younger generation has committed so many misdeeds that I'm facing unemployment'?"

To ease Lord Hozuki's burden and protect her thousand-year iron rice bowl, Fujiwara Chidori uses character cards based on this world's IF routes. In different timelines, she saves the fallen demons and stops them from going astray.

[The shogun who killed his younger brother to claim the throne]

[The materialist whose beloved wife and son were persecuted by the church]

[The husband who inherited a martial arts school and made it flourish, and his wife]

[The magistrate who lost his way in his youth, then became an impartial judge]

[The talented artist revered by the villagers for helping them escape poverty]

One day, the Demon King, hiding in the Infinity Castle, discovers in terror that all his subordinates have vanished.

Even the people around him have no memory of them ever existing...

He is afraid and horrified, and tries to keep hiding.

Until...

A man dressed in a hunting robe stands beneath the blazing sun, gazing at him with compassion. One sleeve covers half his face, and his brow is furrowed. A child clings tightly to his side, looking at him boldly and curiously.

Somehow, Kibutsuji Muzan knows that the man is also himself.

Just as he had once watched those incompetent quacks in the courtyard a thousand years ago, the man looks at him and speaks the surname he most wishes to forget. Time seems to return to Heian-kyo, and once again he faces his mother's guilt, his father's contempt, and his wife's covert disdain.

"As a member of the Fujiwara clan, a noble family symbolized by the wisteria, you were poisoned by your own clan's emblem? You can't even find a single flower? And you were injured by one of your own descendants?"

"Not smart enough, not patient enough, not strong enough, not even cruel enough..."

"How can our clan have such a useless person?"

Content warnings:

1. The protagonist is flawed, not a saint.

2. Follows the main Demon Slayer plot, but the timeline does not progress linearly.

3. Lots of headcanon.

Theme: Even when trapped, never stop looking for a chance to break free
