## History

A member of the family of Juno, the goddess of marriage.

She was originally an evil spirit who controlled people's jealousy and disharmony, but she somehow reformed after learning from the selfishness of her master, Juno. Empusa tried to push Juno to be better, wanting to become a support to human happiness. When she became a marriage activity spirit, she studied hard and became good at housework. She usually takes care of Juno's personal needs and wishes.

When Juno felt like dressing up an entire town in wedding dresses and use collective "brainwashing of marriage", she prepared medicines to break to cure it. While still working with Juno, which made her fight Fuuma Kotaro at the time. Afterward, she became helpful and assisted him many times and also learned to depend on him.

Thanks to Empusa, most of the pranks of Juno were stopped and at least in one June, she would not create any mischiefs. The next June, Juno was not active and didn't bother Kotaro.

However, the following year, Dakini the goddess of fertility and sexual love becomes annoyed that Juno's actions lead to less marriage, and with that less fertility. Challenging her to a ritual fight, over the position. The ritual required both Juno and Dakini to pick 3 human champion, all acting as brides, wearing a bride dress. With **Empusa**, pushing Juno to be more active finding a champion, they made Onisaki Kirara and Shishimura Koro into one. As the group hit the Fuuma Estate, Juno stayed behind to watch TV, with Empusa to explain the situation. Kotaro was chosen as the third bride, with him rejecting the idea at first before Juno and Empusa saying that in these times a male bride is fine too. Unable to refuse, the three followed Juno, to an extradimensional space created by Dakini. In this place, nobody could face fatal damage.

As Dakini arrived, her champions were Mizuki Yukikaze, Igawa Asagi and Aishu Hebiko. They were not forced, but instead promised a vacation to Hawaii. As Kotaro began to be confused by this, Hawaii was a place of many honeymoon marriages, and since then a god of enough power over marriage or love could grant such a thing. Empusa, acted embarrassed that Juno had lost a large portion of her power and now could only send people to Atami (A Japanese resort town). With Juno starting to be annoyed that there was nothing wrong with Atami, and she would grant this to Kotaro and the others as a reward.

With things, solved, the fight began with Kotaro's group won thanks to tactics and Amamiya Shisui, which sprang forth from Kotaro's body to defeat Asagi. Dakini called the fight unfair and invalid. At first, Juno and Empusa were concerned that Kotaro was not a valid member as a bride, but Dakini rejected it and said it was okay in these times. Instead, the fact that Shisui helped out was not allowed, and a full out brawl began.

However, after a small exchange of blows, Juno began to put more power to her champions and got into the battle. Dakini laughed the matter off, and called the whole marriage matter just an excuse to see and play with Juno again. With the two making up and Dakini teasing Juno, like a little sister. Dakini also pulled a prank on Onisaki Kirara, which resulted in Kotaro feeling a strong sexual urge towards her for the next month, something that Juno and Empusa could not solve. Regardless, Emusa promised to give them tickets to Atami soon.
