Game Overview
This is a story about a vow, centered around a certain sacred relic —
This is a world existing in a branch of possibilities.
There, people developed artificial magic circuit devices — sacred relics — that allow anyone to wield the miracle known as "magic." To harness this immense power, people founded the sacred relic management organization セフィロト, and under its management, research on sacred relics continues day after day.
Then, a girl came to セフィロト.
She had awakened magic far beyond what she could bear, excessively powerful; and a young man was stationed there as a researcher, tasked with providing her treatment.
The vow the two made nurtured new possibilities, sprouting fresh branches in this world.

Game CG
STAFF
Original art: 和泉つばす
Scenario: 雪仁
SD illustrations: ぺろ
和泉つばす's art keeps getting more refined, and with this luxurious voice cast, the only possible weak point is the scenario by 雪仁.
He worked on "枯花" and the "Nekopara" series, and the gap between his best and worst is quite large. Add the all-ages buff on top, so it's best not to hold high expectations for the scenario — though maybe he'll suddenly surprise everyone.
Veteran 9-nine fans may complain, but they'll still savor it in the end; friends who haven't touched the series can go play the mainline entries first~
