Woe betides those that put on the celestial robe
- The darker aspects of the Swan Maiden Legend in the series. The man not only hides away her important robe, but also rapes her, and forces her into marriage and becoming the mother of his children. Although the Ancestor reveals that Ceres was not forced into becoming his wife or bearing his children.
- Ceres finally reveals her past with the Ancestor to Aya. The two of them fell genuinely in love with each other — which was a first for Ceres — and the two were happily married, even joyful about eventually having children. When the two were attacked and Ceres used her powers to save them, Mikagi lamented how useless and powerless he was, and Ceres shared a fraction of her power with him... and then things went wrong. Mikagi took revenge on the men that attacked them, became drunk on the power he now had and made himself the chief of large tribes through violence and fear. His jealousy got the better of him and he became convinced that everyone will try to take his wife away from him, so he took her Mana and hid it where she chouldn't find it, did end up raping her when she begged him to tell her where it is, and even killed one of his children when they were helping Ceres escape. And then an enraged Ceres killed Mikagi. It's a story of a lovely marriage falling apart into a pile of dysfunctional, domestic abuse and ends in a tragedy. Even Aya is horrified of what she saw.
- The fate of any human that touches, or even dons, the celestial robe. They turn into some horrible, deformed Eldritch Abomination. One included a man that seemed to have fused horribly into a fish, and the below-mentioned woman, who is... terrifying to look at. And Mikagi fusing with an artifically created robe/Mana ends up with him beginning to melt!
- Volume 10/the Tango arc serves as one giant pile of nightmare fuel.
- The Ancestor takes a more direct approach in messing with Aya and Yuuhi, which includes breaking Yuuhi's arm and damaging Aya's reputation when a student sees her 'making out' with him in the library. And said making out was him groping her against her will.
- The sexual assault, in general, becomes worse. A group of guys lures Aya out to the school at night under the pretense of having information on the region's celestial robe, but they plan to gang-rape her. The only reason things didn't happen was because one of the guys was dragged into the basement construction and screamed while being killed, which scared the other guys away.
- The guy above was killed by a woman that was horribly deformed when she put on the celestial robe, and she has been roaming around for centuries as a monster, and unable to die. She's pictured above.
- If the above sexual assault wasn't bad enough, the Ancestor kidnaps an unconscious Ceres and chooses to sleep with her when they are back at the Mikage headquarters. And when Aya takes over her body, he doesn't care and proceeds to try to rape Aya, to force Ceres to appear. Only upside is that Touya's dagger managed to repel the Ancestor in time...
