Hachiouji Takamichi was born into a family of hunters tasked with protecting humans from demons and monsters. Sadly, she lost her beloved older twin brother when she was young. As the only heir to the family business, Takamichi threw herself into her work, becoming a hunter and cutting ties with others, preferring to be alone. However, at the age of 13, Takamichi's father forced her to take care of two abandoned half-wolf/half-human puppies. In their family, it was customary to adopt a half-animal servant called "jiujiu" to assist during hunts. Despite Takamichi's protests, she eventually accepted Setsu and Yuugure as her loyal companions for the past three years. Now that they have grown older, taking care of them has become more difficult.
