Plot
Plot
During the era when the Fujiwara clan was gradually seizing real power in the imperial court, rumors were rampant among the nobles of Heian-kyō that maids were disappearing night after night from the Fujiwara clan's residence. The nobles whispered that this was the work of an Oni, and the rumors eventually reached the ears of the Emperor. Ariwara no Narihira, who was in charge of guarding the capital, received an imperial order and began searching for the culprit. However, when his friend Kino Haseo was arrested as the culprit in the maid abduction, Narihira, who wanted to prove his innocence, asked for the cooperation of Sugawara no Michizane, Haseo's classmate whom he encountered at the scene of Haseo's arrest. Together with Michizane, who reluctantly promised to cooperate, they continued the search for the culprit. After finally solving the case of the missing maid at the end of their investigation, Narihira and Michizane continue to uncover the bizarre incidents occurring in Heiankyo one by one, but they gradually become entangled in the power struggle between the Fujiwara and Tomo clans, who are involved in the background of the cases.
