Household military

The Tou

Four best fighters. A father’s commands. An auction that treats children as stock and calls that a defense.

The Tou (濤), also printed as the Special Defense Corps, are the four best fighters in the Sazanami clan: Soya, Tenri, Tamaki, and Enji. They follow the head and protect the Rakuzaichi. Three of them meet Chihiro and Shiba in the estate. Tamaki lies about Soya’s whereabouts. Tenri later spends unstable Datenseki to impress Kyora and dies. Enji asks Shiba for death and is told to raise what is left. Soya loses to Hakuri’s dual inheritance, then crawls out of the rubble with amnesia and the same hunger.

Not the Storehouse

The Sazanami page already had the household. This page is the military job: a hallway at Naginojoen, a pine-sorcery barrier, short blades, a brother’s obsession. Hakuri is the error that ends the firm, not a fifth Tou. See Sazanami, Naginojoen, Tenri.
