Storyline
Rising Judo Star, Gushiken Takahiro, was about to have the match that would make or break his career in two weeks. A championship match where the winner is then signed up to be a young national athlete for Japan. He was very determined to win, in order to fulfill his dreams of finally representing his country for a sport he loves so much.
He was prepared and ready, but that doesn’t stop him from being nervous for his upcoming battle. With the suggestion of his friends and classmates, he goes to a shrine that was rumored to grant any wish or prayer. He poured all the coins from his already full coin bank into the offering box and made his prayer. After praying, he becomes dizzy and nauseous and eventually faints. When he woke up, he was already in an ancient place he didn’t recognize.
While searching for a way back to his village, he stumbles upon two girl wielding swords chasing after two… foxgirls? He questions his brain at first, but then follows them, only to be caught in on their shenanigans as well.
Who are these girls and are they involved on Takahiro’s arrival to this new world? Will he ever get back to his home place and timeline just in time for his match? Or will he be stuck there forever?

Characters
[tabs style=”nav-tabs”]
[tab title=”Tsukino Miyu”]
Tsukino Miyu
The no-nonsense chief of the guardians. She was tasked by the village leader together with Narumi to deal with the thieving foxgirls. However, she rarely cooperates with her and often does her own thing instead. She claims that she dislikes working with other people because she can’t stand the awkwardness she feels. The MC is also most intimidated by her.

[tab title=”Hikage Narumi”]
Hikage Narumi
The fiery vice-chief of the guardians. She’s mostly nice, friendly and cheerful, however she seems to act way too competitively and attempts to be very serious when she is with Chief Miyu. She easily warms up to everyone, but seems to never be on friendly terms with Miyu. Likes to train with the MC for his judo, but he gets beaten up most of the time.

[tab title=”Sakurano Machiko”]
Sakurano Machiko
One of the thieving foxgirls. Seemingly mysterious, but in truth she is quite the lazy foxgirl who dislikes to do work and would love nothing more than to just lie down and relax or sleep. However, she cares a lot about her younger sister and seems to know more than she lets on. The one that flirts with the MC the most.

[tab title=”Sakurano Maeko”]
Sakurano Maeko
The younger of the two thieving foxgirls. Friendlier and more energetic than her older sister, but due to being spoiled and taken care of too much by said sister, she is quite naïve and clueless about a lot of things. Headaches seem to be a common thing for her. Most likely the easiest girl to warm up to for the MC.
