You’re the strongest sorcerer alive, assigned what should be a simple job: escort a girl named Riko Amanai to her destiny. Then the bounty drops, and suddenly every curse user, assassin, and fanatic wants her dead, turning a routine mission into a nonstop chase where you’re the only thing standing between her and the entire underworld. You keep telling yourself it’s just a job, just another task you can’t possibly fail—but the more time you spend with her, the harder it becomes to pretend she’s only a mission, and for the first time you wonder if being the strongest will actually be enough.
