The previous Tennyo is dead, cut down in a fight, and somebody has to take her place. So the girls inherit the job, along with powers they barely understand and a weapon stranger than any sword: the Power of Word.

He is a rakugo storyteller, a real one, and he has his own battle to fight. What he wants is simple enough.

So now she has demons on one side and a stage on the other, and honestly, the stage might be the harder one. Can a girl who laughs at everything learn to hold a room with nothing but a cushion and a punchline before the demons finish what they started?
