OK, slight advance revelation here: Luna is a Nightbeast. There are hundreds of them in the Dark Kingdom, they're a mid-level type of youma, and they're used as hunter/trackers. Think ANBU, only not quite strong enough to take down S-class "criminals" on their own. More like C-rank. And Amami is B-rank. Yes, it makes Luna even MORE of an exposition mouthpiece, but it works. > > "Ryoukai," the blue-haired girl called back. She made a wave of her hands, > > and a deep, chilly mist blanketed the area.
