Asagami Fujino.
Originally named Asakami Fujino, heir to one of Japan’s four great demon-slaying families, the Asakami. As a demon-slaying family, the Asakami possessed a powerful supernatural ability known as the "Mystic Eyes of Distortion."
Though she was the heir, the once-prosperous Asakami family had long since gone bankrupt, its resources absorbed by the branch family, the Asagami.
To legitimize their claim to the resources, the current head of the Asagami family, Kouzou Asagami, had married Asakami Fujino’s mother and adopted the young Fujino. This was the main reason she was now known as Asagami Fujino.
"Asagami Fujino!" Haru murmured the name, his gaze shifting from surprise to pity as he looked at the blue-haired girl. After a long moment, he sighed softly.
He now understood why Fujino had been crying in pain even after her injuries had healed.
Fujino was a natural-born psychic. However, the Asakami family, which should have protected her, had long since disappeared. Consequently, she had been persecuted by the villagers since she was a child.
She was finally adopted, but the branch Asagami family was just an ordinary capitalist family, which led to tragedy.
Her stepfather, Kouzou Asagami, upon learning of Fujino’s abilities, had feared them. When Fujino was six, he had used drugs to seal her Mystic Eyes.
