Asahi Story

The Princess’s Shadow

“B-But, I’m the shadow to the Princess! It’ll take more than that to crush my spirit!”
- Asahi

In a world where shadows protect royalty, Asahi, a loyal clan member, dedicates herself to guarding the princess, Lady Kaguya. Burdened by assassination attempts and a lonely existence, Lady Kaguya hides her anxieties behind a strong facade. Despite their social roles, a connection forms. Asahi senses Lady Kaguya’s pain and her words about needing her to live to plant a seed of change. Asahi’s unwavering loyalty and keenness pick up on Lady Kaguya’s hidden fears while she finds solace in her steadfast presence.

At one point, Asahi was poisoned protecting Lady Kaguya, and she thought it was the last time she would see the princess.

Anxiety and Reunion

“Yes. From now, till forever. I shall dedicate my life to you... Lady Kaguya.”
- Asahi

Asahi’s fierce loyalty dramatically turns when she’s poisoned protecting Lady Kaguya.

A mysterious savior reveals the curse plaguing the land, linked to Lady Kaguya’s anxieties. Witnessing the physical manifestation of her fear in fog, Asahi finally sees beyond her stoic facade and understands her pain. This encounter sparks a desire in her to break free from their duty-bound roles and forge a deeper connection.

Their journey culminates in a tender moment. Asahi apologizes for not seeing her pain and chooses to stand beside her as Asahi, an equal. Lady Kaguya, humbled by her gesture and burdened by her past mistakes, sheds her royal title. They embrace a new life together, free from the constraints of their past and ready to face the future; their bond is transformed by shared understanding and a newfound sense of equality.

Asahi Personality

Asahi is a loyal and dedicated shadow devoted to protecting the princess. She takes her duty seriously, is content to operate from the sidelines, and sees herself as a mere extension of her will. Despite her loyalty, Asahi is also perceptive. She notices the princess’s loneliness and hidden desires and longs to see her happy. Throughout the story, Asahi experiences significant growth.

Initially hesitant to bridge the social gap, she finds the courage to pursue a deeper connection. Fiercely protective, Asahi promises to shield the princess from any harm. While respectful, there’s a playful side to her as well.

Asahi Memories

Chapter 1
To protect a master under the cloak of darkness. Such a role was given to a clan of shadows. I was a shadow. Even more, a shadow to one of the Shogun's children—the Princess. Apparently, her life had been threatened well before she was born, and all of her siblings assassinated. The Princess was the sole survivor. It's no exaggeration to say that we shadows were born to keep the Princess alive. We were once wanderers, but taken in and given a home by the shogunate. To repay this great debt, we will indeed die if it means protecting them! Such a duty was everything to my clan of shadows...

I was a shadow.
Even more, a shadow to one of
the Shogun's children—the Princess.

Apparently, her life had been threatened
well before she was born,
and all of her siblings assassinated.
The Princess was the sole survivor.

It's no exaggeration to say that
we shadows were born
to keep the Princess alive.

We were once wanderers,
but taken in and given a home
by the shogunate.
To repay this great debt,
we will indeed die
if it means protecting them!

Such a duty was everything
to my clan of shadows...

Chapter 2
"Thou art too carefree in my presence, lowly shadow. 'Tis disrespectful." Those were the Princess's first words to me. My situation might be more difficult than I'd anticipated... B-But, I'm the shadow to the Princess! It'll take more than that to crush my spirit! Indeed, there were some who called the Princess's orders selfish... but I sensed something different. After all, the Princess is always... One day, assassins snuck inside the castle. Naturally, I disposed of them, but I was left severely wounded. Nnnrgh, how pathetic of me... But, the Princess suddenly came rushing over to me. "Art thou hurt, Asahi?!" W-Wait...did she just say...my name...?

One day, assassins snuck inside the castle.

but I was left severely wounded.
Nnnrgh, how pathetic of me...

But, the Princess suddenly
came rushing over to me.

"Art thou hurt, Asahi?!"

W-Wait...did she just say...my name...?

Chapter 3
It's only natural for those like me to be nameless. Simply referring to us as "shadows" is more than enough. That's why, I'm sure I misheard her... If thou art to be my shadow, live and be useful to me. Such is what it means to protect. Understand, Asahi?" In that moment, I felt I'd taken my first proper look at the Princess's face. Her stern gaze was shaking with loneliness and unease... It revealed the Princess's true colors. And, a heart that no one had ever dared peer into... ...I mustn't let her be alone. "Yes. I shall live and be useful to you. As your shadow."

...I mustn't let her be alone.

"Yes. I shall live and be useful to you.
As your shadow."

Chapter 4
I heard the Princess was also raised without being called by name. Doing so was seen as utterly insolent, and even her own relatives would not be forgiven. "Asahi, I shall grant thee special permission to call me by my name." The Princess then offered her hand to me... but I'm a shadow. Someone like me will never be forgiven. "I must refuse, my princess. ... For I am but a shadow." The Princess smiled hearing those words, hints of sadness written on her face. All that she said was, "Yes...that thou art," before leaving my sight. Several days later. I was in a fight with yet another assassin, till the moment our weapons cut into each other. ...To think that this assassin coated their blade...with poison... ...There's no chance of me surviving this attack... ...But, I have no regrets. I was able to protect the Princess, after all... ...My princess... I'm glad to have served as your shadow... ...Farewell...my princess...

Chapter 5
...Huh, I'm alive...? How...? That poison should've been fatal... When I awoke, I saw a mysterious fog and people in deep slumber. There was also a man with a staff. Apparently, he's some kind of "savior" from a distant world, traversing different worlds to dispel Curses. And, he was the one who saved me. If he hadn't found my body lying on the ground, I would've... He says this fog is the work of a witch whose heart fell into the clutches of a demon, and saving that witch's heart is the key to dispelling the Curse... But, something dawned on me. The moment I touched the fog, I heard something. "...I long to see thee again, Asahi." That was the Princess's voice. Thus, I must go to her. Such is my duty as her shadow!

...Huh, I'm alive...? How...?
That poison should've been fatal...

When I awoke, I saw a mysterious fog
and people in deep slumber.
There was also a man with a staff.

Apparently, he's some kind of "savior"
from a distant world,
traversing different worlds to dispel Curses.

And, he was the one who saved me.

"...I long to see thee again, Asahi."
That was the Princess's voice.
Thus, I must go to her.

Such is my duty as her shadow!

Chapter 6
I accompanied the man with the staff, and we headed towards the Stargazing Tower. With each step inside, I felt us drawing closer to the Princess's heart. This thick, enshrouding fog was surely the very manifestation of her anxieties. The Princess had always feigned composure, all while being afraid someone might die. Many saw that as strength, and none had ever tried looking behind her facade. I'm just as guilty. I never noticed how you truly felt... But...it's clear to me now... The meaning behind your words that day. We finally arrived at the top of the tower. There she was, as if reigning supreme over all that lay beneath her feet.

Chapter 7
On that day, I could only see you as a princess, declining to step out of the shadows and walk by your side... But...by your side was where I truly wanted to be. "My princess—no... Lady Kaguya!!" "...Asa...hi...?" The Princess slowly opens her eyes. Then, reaches her hand out to me as if pleading for help. "I'm sorry. On that day, I ran away without noticing how you truly felt...but..." "I shall live by your side simply as Asahi! So, please come back to me...LADY KAGUYA!" I saw the hand I was unable to touch that day, and grasped it with all my might. "...At last... Thou hast called me by name." The fog that was concealing her heart began to fade, the darkness melted away by golden hues of light. But, the moment we felt a sense of relief, Lady Kaguya brushed my hand away. "As the one who willed mine own country's destruction, I can no longer call myself a princess... However..." Lady Kaguya once again offered her hand to me, and spoke. "As of now, I am but Kaguya. If thou hast no qualms... wilt thou live at my side...Asahi?" The shadow in me whispered, "That would be insolent of you, lowly shadow." ...But, I pushed that shadow away, and smiled. "Yes. From now, till forever. I shall dedicate my life to you... Lady Kaguya."

Asahi Voice Lines

Login 1	The great Duke has come home! I must inform the Princess at once~!
Login 2	It's been a long time indeed, great Duke. Have you already greeted the Princess? If not, then I ask that when you do, tell her she was the first person you came to see. She'll be in a sulky mood otherwise.
Home 1	As the Princess's shadow, I shall indeed work hard today, as I always do.
Home 2	A humble shadow is what I am indeed! You'll always find me at the Princess's side, waiting to serve her. ...Huh? Why, the Princess is...not here?! Rrrgh, when did she...? This is a matter of utmost importance! My princess~?! Whereabouts are you~?!
Home 3	Great Duke, I shall trust you with a secret about the Princess and me. You see~ When we're alone together, she starts sulking unless I call her by "Lady Kaguya." But, since we have to keep up appearances, this only happens when it's just the two of us~! Hehehe! ♪
Home 4	It's time for a break, great Duke! I have Zivardian tea, sweets, buckwheat pillows... Anything you can ask for, indeed!
Home 5	I'm sure you feel at ease, great Duke, for you have many people who protect you. Of course, you can count me as one of them. I shall protect both you and the Princess! Indeed—from the shadows!
Home 6	Happy birthday, great Duke! This calls for a celebration by cannon fire! I shall make preparations at once... Huh? It's the thought that counts? Awww... I was hoping to give you a gift of some sort... What should I—AH! I just happen to have an origami shuriken. Here you are!
Home 7	The Princess says the complete opposite of what she thinks. For instance, when she says, “For mine own sake, I entreat thee to strive for excellence,” she means, “Do your best.” And when she says, “Thou dost exhibit a carefree demeanor in my presence, simpleton. Pray, who dost thou take me for?” she means, “Thank you for always being my friend.” ...There’s a way to describe this kind of behavior. What was it again?
Home 8	I once heard a story that, a long time ago, an ancestor of the Princess sealed away a mischievous fox... But, you mean to tell me that fox is Miss Tama...? No, such a story can’t possibly be true, right...? After all, to think that Miss Tama would cause any kind of mischief is... Huh? She’s the culprit behind the hole in the garden? Ugh, Miss Tama!!
Home 9	Calling someone by name means you acknowledge their existence. The moment the Princess called me “Asahi,” not her shadow...I was able to truly become me. Surely the Princess must feel the same... After all, she has the brightest smile whenever I call her “Lady Kaguya...” She does turn bright red and hit me afterwards, though...
Home 10	There’s only one master for me—the Princess. That will never change, even if our country is no more. The Princess says she’s no longer a princess... But to me, she’ll always be my princess! Although slightly lonely, no one comes even close to how noble she is. I’m proud to call her my master!
Home 11	The Princess is strong. She was proud of those who sacrificed themselves to protect her, always telling them that what they did was honorable... Believing that no one dies in vain is enough for us to die with pleasure. ...Thus, as the Princess bade farewell to one life after another, no one ever noticed the sorrow on her face... Not one person...
Home 12	The Princess treated me not as a mere shadow, but as “Asahi.” Still, I lacked the courage to cross the line that divided us as princess and shadow... And as a consequence, I caused her heart so much pain... Thus, I shall see to it she won’t have a sliver of sorrow on her face ever again. Indeed, as the Princess’s shadow—no, as Asahi, I shall protect Lady Kaguya for as long as there is breath left in me!
Awakening 1	I indeed feel power stirring up inside me!
Awakening 2	Whoa!! I indeed still have plenty of growing to do!
Awakening 3	I’m growing even stronger! I appreciate all your help indeed.
Awakening 4	Be swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as the fire, and firm as the mountain... See yourself as one with heaven and earth... Learning from nature is the way of the shadows. I, too, will take in all of nature’s lessons, and strive to reach even greater heights!
Awakening 5	Ha-hah! I’m indeed a completely different person than before! Of course, I won’t settle for staying at this level. I shall grow even more, and earn the Princess’s praise! I can just hear her now... “It doth appear that thou hast improved a little.” Hehe~
Awakening 6	The one who created this distance between the Princess and me was none other than myself. I’m merely a shadow, yet she attempted to approach and bare her heart to me... But, there’s no more need to worry! I’m prepared for us to spend the rest of our lives together. Not as princess and shadow, but as Kaguya and Asahi. If any unease or fear looms before us, I shall indeed tear them all to pieces! ...Shing shing!
Victory	A splendid victory! Indeed!
Defeat	Eek! The princess is going to reprimand me~
Skill 1	Unleashing chaos everywhere!
Skill 2	Behind you... Ha!
