Abeno Seimei voiced by Ryohei Kimura (Saito in Handyman Saitou in another world)
I couldn’t stop being excited to see the combination of Japanese-style and cyber world, which I have loved for a long time. And the scenarios that are sure to betray you in every episode, as well as the characters that are funny or unfathomable, make each week’s recording interesting. What role will Abe no Seimei, whose name alone should be familiar to everyone, play? Please enjoy the show!

One day, Takeru had an accident and fell off a cliff. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a highly technologically advanced Heian-kyo called “Denji Heian-kyo.” It is guarded by the most powerful onmyoji, Abeno Seimei, and the Tsukimiya in his dreams exists in reality!
Takeru is elated by the fateful encounter he had dreamed of, but in a sudden black fog called “Black Mist,” a monster called “Oni” kills both Tsukimiya and himself.
–But the next moment, Takeru wakes up again in Denji Heian-kyo.
Eventually, Takeru realizes that he has been time-leaped and decides to learn onmyo techniques from Abeno Seimei and fight as an Onmyoji in order to resist a future in which Tsukimiya will lose her life–!
