Summary

A magical girl with a keen sense of smell that belongs to the Tokime clan. She went with her mother to the Tokime village to learn about her bloodline. She's reckless, with a strong sense of justice and a keen nose for evil doings, but in a place with so many incidents and evil going on it could be futile.

Doppel Description

The Doppel of selection. Its form is a sodegarami. The master of this emotion proudly believes that its ability exists to reveal and capture evil, but in truth, it is a Doppel that seeks 6 human sacrifices to plunge into the depths in its master’s place. No matter how well an adversary hides, its lantern head will expose all beneath the light of day, and its three-pronged claws will drag them down to the bottom of the swamp. The more targets it drags into the swamp, the more powerful this Doppel becomes, but that power is sure to descend upon its master as a calamity one day. Nevertheless, this Doppel continues to desperately store up power for the sake of eliminating those who would do harm to its master.

Side Story

The following is a summary posted on 4chan's /pmmm/ general by Summary Anon. The village is in financial crisis since the elder who is also in charge of the money is dead, and she squandered most of the wealth via bad investments. Although she still has some good shares, a few months are needed for them to be acquired.

Chiharu remembered a drama she loved where the Shogun disguised himself and helped poor villages to find their charm and rejuvenate them, and thus she roped in Shizuka and Sunao to help. The two are glad for a change since most of the Tokino side clans are unwilling to believe their tales of magical girls.

After a tour of the village with Shizuka and Sunao guiding her, Chiharu realized how arrogant she was before, and finds the village full of charm: its clear river with lively fishes, the beautiful mountain with abundant fruits and wild vegetables and the kind and helpful villages. After further discussion with Shizuka and Sunao, the three proposed that the village should try a hand in tourism.

The trio's sincerity is backed by Shizuka's mom's adventurous spirit, so Chiharu's mom agrees to the plan. But first, they do a trial run with the family of her husband's sister.

Though it is pretty messy since everyone is new, the beautiful landscape and the interesting activities of harvesting fruits, wild vegetation and fishing, backed with good rural cooking with kind and helpful hosts gave the family a good time.

They enjoyed the trip while giving useful feedback and suggestions on improvement. Chiharu's uncle even pointed out that the big fruit the village has is unique since it can only be grown in that environment. They would love to visit again, and left after staying the night and enjoying the hot springs.

The villagers applaud Chiharu for pointing out the charms of the village which they cannot see since it is part of their life. Chiharu's mom begin writing a proposal to the Japanese Tourism Board to apply for funds to renovate the village for tourism, and the villagers also regain vigor and start working in both the tourism sector and by finding jobs outside the village.

Trivia
