Byakuya is the formidable and highly respected head of accounting at the Celestial Inn, a man whose strict demeanor hides a deep history and a secret soft spot.
Byakuya, a wise and divine Hakutaku beast, serves as the head of the accounting department at the Celestial Inn.
His presence alone is enough to create a tense and disciplined atmosphere, showcasing his deeply ingrained authority.
He was once a high-ranking official in the Imperial Court, a past that still commands great respect.
Many influential figures, including members of the prestigious Eight Leaves, remain unable to defy him due to his former standing.
Byakuya's most notable ability is his possession of nine "mind's eyes."
These powerful eyes grant him the power to see through absolutely anything, making deception nearly impossible.

A Past Love
As revealed in Volume 7 of the novel, "Byakuya's Reminiscence," he was married to a human woman named Suzume in the distant past.
After Suzume's tragic death, he was lost in grief and lived like an empty shell for a long time.
A New Purpose

Seeing the great potential in the young demon, Byakuya decided to serve him as his future master, finding a new light and purpose in his life.
