Mentioned Characters: Tsukasa

Delightfully Devious Foxy Maid A restless wind swept through the graveyard. The kuda-gitsune landed with quiet grace. The full moon hung in the pale scarlet sky. Tsukasa Kudamaki had driven her master into a corner using her special technique, Maid CQC. She tilted her gun, a dangerous gleam flickering in her eyes.

Maid CQC stands for maid-style Close-Quarters Combat, a refined fighting method built for close encounters, where blades and bullets move in perfect harmony. A style crafted to defend one's master while toying with foes. But Tsukasa Kudamaki added her own cunning twist to it, turning close-quarters combat into something far more dangerous.

Tsukasa's loyalty runs deep―so long as it serves her interests. Betrayal and deception come as naturally to her as breathing. And knowing that, her master still chose to take her in. "I'm Tsukasa Kudamaki, after all." Even her betrayal leaves no bitterness. There is something about her that makes even betrayal feel beautiful, like the silent allure of a scarlet moon.

The wind stopped. Even the rustling of the trees fell silent. Stillness spread through the graveyard. One pull of the trigger, and it would all be over. But seeing the fight drain from her opponent's body, Tsukasa shifted her finger away from the trigger. Instead of gunfire, her voice cut through the silence, laced with hidden alure. "Now then, what will you offer me?" A bullet would have hurt less. What she wanted was a betrayal deeper than death. An offering that could change the course of fate itself.

Tsukasa Kudamaki is shrouded in mystery. No one truly knows whether she's an ally or an enemy. She hides behind a businesslike demeanor, but her true motives remain unclear. Betrayal isn't what she does, but who she is. When she left the graveyard that night, everyone had already fled. Truth or lies, none of it mattered anymore. Only the scarlet moon lingered. And the silence she left behind.
