Yachiho Azuma

**Yachiho Azuma** (東(あずま)八千穂(やちほ), *Azuma Yachiho*) is a member of the Azuma Family, being one of their oldest daughters and the older sister of Himari Azuma. She became a member of the Anti-Demon Corps' 6th Divison earning the position of Vice Chief.

## Appearance

Yachiho is a fair-skinned young woman older than Himari, she has long blue hair tied into twintails using white ribbons.

Most of the time, she is seen to be dressed in the Anti-Demon Corps' uniform, consisting of a navy blue short-sleeved unit, a red belt, a long skirt, and high-heel boots that reach her thighs.

## Personality

Yachiho is very complex, at one moment, she appears to be a bit too confident in her Peach Blessing to the point of believing she's nigh-invincible, while at the same time realizing her own limits. She has shown to be condescending, primarily towards her youngest sister who she often berates for her being weak, and unless in battles with the Shuuki. At the same time, she does acknowledge those who are above her such as Kyouka who she realizes is an effective Chief, while also once again looking down on Yachiho, her Vice Chief who is meant to have her back.

Yachiho looks to also be obsessed with being elegant almost all the time, because of her powers and likely because of her enjoyment of poems.

Undeath all that, it was later revealed that Yachiho is, in fact, a deep siscon, to the point of being nearly obsessed with Himari, having several photos about her from infancy placed inside of her bedroom. As such, it appears that she is unable to show her feelings toward Himari, instead bordering on teasing and is attempts to make multiple attempts into getting Himari to come back home and train.

If Himari gets in a dangerous situation during a battle, Yachiho will immediately use her Golden Hour to rewind time and save her despite the drawbacks. She tends to overreact whenever Himari turn down her wishes to return home to the point of her even seemingly turning to stone crying.

## Background

   Yachiho is one of the oldest daughters of the Azuma Household, being among all the daughters who excel aside from the youngest daughter, Himari Azuma. In the past, she appears to be close to her, often taking several photos of Himari who is noted to be waving back in one of them. At one point, Yachiho began teasing her all the time to the point of looking down on her almost all the time.

## Powers and Abilities

### Peach Blessing

Like most women who devour one of the peaches from Mato, Yachiho attained a unique power.

**Golden Hour** (東の辰刻(ゴールデンアワー), *Gōruden Awā*, lit. "Eastern Engraving"): She is able to manipulate time, letting her stop time for five seconds or rewind it the same amount of time, although Yachiho needs to do certain poses to use this blessing. Using this for too long appears to exhaust her making, thus it impossible for extended uses and fights against far powerful opponents.

* **Prime Time** (東の大辰刻(プライムタイム), *Puraimu Taimu*, lit. "Eastern Great Engraving"): After doing a "supreme pose", Yachiho can stop or rewind time for ten seconds instead of five.

## Equipment

**Handgun:** In addition to her Golden Hour, Yachiho owns a handgun that has been blessed to combat the Shuuki.
