OBS, a group of devils living inconspicuously alongside humans, and Nightmare, a group of exorcists that blend in among humans, had previously worked independently, but as low-level devil activity grew around the city, they established contact.
The aesthetics of demons, the pride of exorcists and a "certain secret" revealed because of that conflict.
What will their conclusion be after everything is revealed?

Scene 4
*sound of car engine turning off, door of the car closing*
HIKARU: Okay, here we are. Before the sun sets, let's get rid of the pests!
RYUJI: Haa… Having to work while it’s still daylight… This is the worst.
AKANE: That’s true, but it’s already evening and it’s almost dark.
HIKARU: Geh… I’m so scared! Could you please not show up so unexpectedly? It's too frightening to work with companions like you. I have to be on my guard at all times!
KENTO: Not companions, this is just cooperation.
RYUJI: If you wish to give up being human and become a devil, I can assist you at any time~
MIROKU: However, if you do not have enough power, you will be reduced to dust.
MOMOTARO: Don't squander time. We should be able to complete the assignment smoothly now that we have resolved to work together.
AKANE: Haha, so serious. But then again, pest control has nothing to do with exorcism, right? Do you guys do these things on a regular basis?
KENTO: Our commissions are basically odd jobs like pest control, finding pets, or investigating somewhere.
MOMOTARO: Surprisingly, there are frequent indications of devils hidden in such missions.
MIROKU: It is indeed the kind of rusticity that is unique to humans.
KENTO: That pity sounds so harsh, can you please stop saying that?
AKANE: So, what was today’s commission?
KENTO: According to the client, an abandoned warehouse had become a gathering place for vermin, causing her a headache.
HIKARU: By the way, this job was also brought in by Ken-chan?
KENTO: The client is a 26-year-old single female teacher, and she’s really pretty. She seems to have a crush on me… Oh gosh, it’s obviously work, it’s really a headache.
MIROKU: Although she’s human, she looks like a succubus.
AKANE: Hahaha, sometimes humans are more like devils than the devils themselves.
HIKARU: Ahh! What was that just now?
MOMOTARO: Was it a cry?
AKANE: Let’s go check it out!
*sound of door opening*
KENTO: This is…
RYUJI: Bats.
HIKARU: But! Isn't it odd to see so many bats jammed into a space like this?
MOMOTARO: I can sense the presence of devils. They have probably assembled here on purpose.
KENTO: It must be quite a lot to deal with so many bats.
MOMOTARO: Of course, it’s not impossible…. It would take a lot of our energy.
AKANE: Ehh? Aren’t you exaggerating?
MIROKU: It’s just dusting.
HIKARU: No no, that’s too exaggerated!
RYUJI: Hmph… Lowly humans ought to observe from the sidelines. *whistles*
HIKARU: Wow! Is this real? The bat just flew away like that!
KENTO: How did you do that?
RYUJI: The three of us have a natural affinity with bats.
HIKARU: That’s amazing! Demons are really good at getting rid of pests! If you make this your job, you will definitely get a lot of commissions and the demand will be overwhelming!
MIROKU: That does not sound like a compliment to us.
HIKARU: I’m definitely praising you guys! Anyway, since I’m asking for help, it’s inconvenient to not know your names, right? I don’t even know how to address you guys! Please tell me your names!
AKANE: Ah, you’re trying to get our names again!
RYUJI: (In disbelief) There is no way we can tell you! For us, the name is like the soul.
MIROKU: If others find out, it is equivalent to them discovering our weakness.
HIKARU: Eh?? What? I don’t understand! We are not enemies now and we will not mistreat one another… In that case, then I will give you names myself! That’s right… the orange-haired guy over there, you look like a pig, and the other guy over there who looks aloof and has sharp eyes—
AKANE: Wait, wait a minute! Your naming sense is so bad, I can’t stand it! Although I won’t tell you our real name, everyone calls me Akane.
MIROKU: … I’m Miroku.
RYUJI: Oh what a hassle. I’m Ryuji.
HIKARU: Then I’ll call you Akanechin, Mi-sama, and Ryuchin. Please take care of me from now on!
MIROKU: Mi-sama….
HIKARU: I feel like you exude a noble aura like His Highness.
AKANE: Hahah, but it suits Miroku very well!!
KENTO: Heh… You’re really good. You can actually get names from the devils and give them nicknames.
MOMOTARO: Hikaru can get along with everyone. There is no friend in this world that he can’t make.

*sound of message notification*
MIKADO: I received a message from Kenti. The pest control mission was successfully completed.
TATSUHIRO: That was pretty quick.
GOSHI: Those guys didn’t interfere with the work.
MIKADO: It appears that their assistance was the sole reason they were able to complete it so smoothly. Also, they seemed to have become familiar with each other and even sent me selfies. Take a look.
GOSHI: …Tsk, how leisurely.
KAZUNA: That’s great. I am relieved I left it to them.
YUTA: Hikarun, even though he was so scared before, he was able to become close to them…
TATSUHIRO: Do you feel left out?
YUTA: Eh?? No, that’s not what I meant… I just said it casually…
KAZUNA: It is still necessary to remain vigilant against devils, so your concerns are not misplaced.
*phone ringing*
MIKADO: Oh, there’s a phone call.
KAZUNA: Hello, this is Nightmare.
TOMOHISA: Hi, Kazuna.
KAZUNA: Calling me by my first name suddenly seems a little too familiar, doesn't it?
TOMOHISA: It’s fine. We are companions now.
KAZUNA: What’s the matter?
TOMOHISA: Actually, we found out something interesting about the devil that did the ritual. I wanted to talk about it in our office.
KAZUNA. I understand. I will be there right away—
TOMOHISA: Pardon me but we are looking for someone else, not you. Can Yuta come alone?
KAZUNA: What is your reason for that?
TOMOHISA: Well, that is… He knows it best. If he does not come alone, I will not tell you the information.
KAZUNA: Fine, I understand. *phone hanging up* Yuta, can you come to the OBS office now?
YUTA: Eh?! Me?
KAZUNA: Their condition is that you go there alone.
GOSHI: This is a trap no matter how you look at it.
TATSUHIRO: It’s too obvious.
MIKADO: However, if we do not follow their conditions, we will not receive the information.
GOSHI: But still! We can’t fall into their trap so easily!
YUTA: It’s okay! I’ll go! I’ll definitely get the information!
KAZUNA: Tatsuhiro, could you please stay nearby? If anything happens, you can support Yuta at any time.
TATSUHIRO. I got it.
GOSHI: Even if we hide, the other party will definitely find us.
KAZUNA: We do not plan to hide. We need to let them know that we are likewise on guard. Yuta, you should also keep vigilant against them.
YUTA: Okay! I will be leaving now.
*door closing*
MIKADO: That’s really strange. Why on earth would they want to go look for Yutaso?
KAZUNA: It is not clear yet but there must be some special reason.
—
*door opening*
YUTA: Wow, it’s so luxurious! It’s totally different from our office.
HARUHI: Ah, Yuta-kun!
YUDUKI: You've arrived.
YUTA: … Are you twins?
YUDUKI: Tomohisa-san is waiting for you inside. Please come in.
YUTA: Ah… Yeah.
TOMOHISA: Greetings, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
YUTA: So then… What is the information that you want to tell me?
TOMOHISA: Let’s eat something first before we get down to business.
YUTA: Wow, it looks delicious!
YUDUKI: Please take a seat.
HARUHI: Actually, I’ve always wanted to talk to you, Yuta-kun! So I’m glad to meet you!
YUTA: Then… I won’t be polite. Excuse me for being rude.
TOMOHISA: Today, as a token of our closeness, we have prepared a special grape juice for you. *sound of pouring* Thank you for coming today. A toast.
HARUHI & YUDUKI: Cheers!
YUTA: Then, I’ll be nice…. *drinks* Ehh? What is this? It’s delicious!
TOMOHISA: Hehe…. As long as it suits your taste, that’s good.
YUDUKI: Is the grape juice really delicious?
HARUHI: Do you really think so?
YUTA: Mhmm! It’s delicious! I’ve never tasted grape juice this delicious! And, I felt a little nostalgic while drinking it… It’s mysterious!
HARUHI: That’s great! We prepared it just to make you feel good!
YUTA: Hmm? Ah… Uhm, thank you.
TOMOHISA: It is a rare opportunity today, and if you are willing, we would like to hear your story.
YUTA: I don’t have any stories to tell….
HARUHI: Ah, in that case, can I ask you a question? Why did you become an exorcist?
YUTA: Why did I become an exorcist…. I can’t really say. Maybe it’s something my family has been doing for generations… Probably.
YUDUKI: So you have come from a family with a long history.
YUTA: It’s not that exaggerated! However, Gochin and Kenken, who grew up with me, both said that they wanted to become exorcists, so I thought, “I want to be one too!” and that’s how it happened….
HARUHI: So that’s how it is.
TOMOHISA: How is it? Do you like your job as an exorcist?
YUTA: Well… Although there were many difficulties, my friends always helped me. Thanks to them, I can continue to do it.
TOMOHISA: It seems like you have some great friends around you.
YUDUKI: But they are all professional exorcists.
HARUHI: So, if they discovered Yuta-kun’s true secret, would they still consider you as a friend?
YUTA: What are you talking about?
TOMOHISA: There is nothing to hide between us. We already know your secret.
YUTA: Ah!!
HARUHI: Yuta-kun, you should really be our companion.
YUTA: What! No! I’m a human!
YUDUKI: You can’t be human.
YUTA: How can you be so sure?!
TOMOHISA: That glass of grape juice was delicious, right? …It was mixed with blood.
YUDUKI: That’s the devil’s favorite drink. Ordinary people would find the bloody smell too strong and wouldn’t be able to drink it.
YUTA: How could that be!
HARUHI: That’s why we keep asking you, is it really delicious?
TOMOHISA: You find it delicious, which is the best proof that you have devil blood flowing in your body.
—
MIKADO: So, how was it? What was it like on your first mission with a devil?
HIKARU: Well… It was really, no, I should say it went super smooth and fun!
KENTO: Although I can’t completely trust them, we can still communicate with them.
MOMOTARO: I can feel that there are some benefits to this collaboration.
HIKARU: Really, really! I’m a little sorry I was so scared of them before.
GOSHI: Aren’t ya about to be pulled over by them?
HIKARU: Huh? By the way, where are Yutan and Tatsu?
KAZUNA: They are going to the office across the street now. They asked Yuta to go there, so I asked Tatsuhiro to follow as an escort.
KENTO: Isn’t it dangerous?
KAZUNA: But it was the condition proposed by the other party.
MIKADO: They should be back soon.
*door opening*
HIKARU: Yutan?!
MOMOTARO: You came back very late. Are you okay?
KENTO: What happened to Yuta?
MIKADO: He locked himself in his room…
HIKARU: Ah, Tatsu! You’re back. What’s going on?
Tatsu: Sorry, I don’t know either. He suddenly rushed out of their office and I just followed him.
KAZUNA: Really?
GOSHI: Ugh…! Those guys!
KENTO: Wait, where are you going?
GOSHI: Of course, go to them and ask them directly!
HIKARU: Ah, he left.
KAZUNA: I will go take a look too. I will leave Yuta in your hands.
MIKADO: Leader, be careful.
MOMOTARO: If anything happens, please contact us immediately.
KAZUNA: Yeah.
*footsteps leaving*
KENTO: Next is… *knocks on door* Yuta, are you okay?
MIKADO: There’s no reaction.
HIKARU: Oh yeah, how about luring him out with some tasty snacks?
TATSUHIRO: He’s not a child anymore, how could he come out so easily with that?
HIKARU: Look! This is a macaron that the client who was looking for the cat sent me a few days ago! It has an appetizing glimmer and a sweet fragrance, and it looks delicious!
*Door opening*
HIKARU: Yutan!
MIKADO: Yutaso!
TATSUHIRO: Is this for real?
MOMOTARO: He actually came out because of the dessert…
KENTO: You really have no resistance towards sweets.
YUTA: Those macarons… Can I eat them?
HIKARU: Of course! You can eat as many colors as you like!
YUTA: Thank you… *Eats heartily*
KENTO: Uwa… such a huge treat, but ate it two… three… in one go…
TATSUHIRO: Having an appetite is a good thing.
YUTA: It’s really delicious… As expected, I really love sweet things the most… But…. But…. I actually said that those scary, horrible things tasted good… *crying*
MOMOTARO: What happened?
YUTA: I… have been hiding something from everyone.
KENTO: …Yuta!
YUTA: Thank you, Kenken. But I don’t want to hide it from anyone anymore.
MIKADO: Hiding what?
TATSUHIRO: Yuta, tell us.
YUTA: Actually… I… I’m not human.

Scene 5
RYUJI: Heh… You actually let Yuta drink that stuff.
AKANE: And then? How was it??
HARUHI: He said it was delicious!
YUDUKI: His response exceeded our expectations.
MIROKU: In other words, he is—
*Door suddenly opening*
HARUHI: Uwah! You scared me!
RYUJI: Isn’t it rude to open the door so suddenly?
GOSHI: You guys… What did you do to Yuta?!
TOMOHISA: That is a very rude way of greeting. I guess we did not invite you over though.
KAZUNA: I apologize for his intrusion, however, it seems that you also did something unkind to my companion.
HARUHI: You’re making a big fuss over nothing. We didn’t do anything excessive.
YUDUKI: We just confirmed his real identity.
KAZUNA: ….
RYUJI: Huh? You’re not surprised at all.
GOSHI: Did you know about this for a long time?
KAZUNA: Well, I just found out about it recently. I would not go into details, but I stumbled upon Yuta’s story during a solo mission. But even with the connections of the church, I could not find any detailed information, so I guess there might be something hidden.
TOMOHISA: You are really skilled. It is a pity to let you be a human. We do not intend to hide it, so we will tell you…. Yuta has the blood of a devil.
GOSHI: ….!!
HARUHI: That was a long time ago though~
YUDUKI: Once upon a time, there was an excellent exorcist who was sent to seal a high-level devil.
MIROKU: It was the exorcist who slowly opened the heart of the lonely devil, and eventually, the two of them fell in love.
AKANE: The child born between them is neither human nor devil, but a hybrid. It is taboo for both humans and devils~
TOMOHISA: Because that exorcist broke a taboo, his entire clan was exterminated, but it seems that there are still some survivors.
RYUJI: The descendant of that survivor is Yuta.
—
YUTA: I’m sorry I kept it a secret from everyone until now.
HIKARU: Yutan… is actually a devil… No way, how is this possible?
TATSUHIRO: It’s really hard to accept it all at once…
MIKADO: Could it be that Kenti knows about this?
KENTO: Goshi and I both know about it. After all, we have known each other for a long time.
MOMOTARO: But if we trace our ancestors back a long time ago, even if there is devil’s blood, it should have been diluted by now.
MIKADO: Yes! We have been with Yuta for so long, but we have never felt that there is any devilish aura from Yuta!
YUTA: No… The devilic power in my body is getting stronger. I think the little bit of blood mixed in the juice just now tasted good.
KENTO: It seems like they are testing you on purpose.
YUTA: I’m different from you guys… I’m a devil. Every morning is getting harder and harder, maybe soon I’ll just say blood tastes really good.
MIKADO: Yutaso…
TATSUHIRO: What are you gonna do now?
YUTA: I’m no longer qualified to be an exorcist. I can’t stay here anymore.
HIKARU: Ehh?!
KENTO: Yuta, calm down!
YUTA: I’m leaving… this place. Up until now, thank you… everyone.
—
TOMOHISA: And with that, we wanted to accept him as our companion.
GOSHI: What? Don’t even think about it!
RYUJI: But for Yuta, this might be a better choice, right? He seems to be more like us lately.
GOSHI: There’s no way—
HARUHI: Lately, have his mood swings been more severe than before?
MIROKU: Also feeling tired in the morning and it’s hard to get up…
YUDUKI: There should be other signs.
GOSHI: …!!!
AKANE: See, this is our proof that he is turning into a devil~
GOSHI: That’s just your wild guess!
YUDUKI, No, it is the truth.
TOMOHISA: If this continues, Yuta will eventually be unable to suppress the devil in him.
GOSHI: Even so, I won’t hand over Yuta to you! He is our—
MIROKU: Maybe your companions don’t think so?
GOSHI: What did you just say?! Hey, say something too!
KAZUNA: This is not something we can decide.
GOSHI: Haa?!
KAZUNA: This is Yuta’s own business. We must first ask him clearly what he wants.
*Phone ringing*
KAZUNA: It’s Hikaru calling. Hello?
HIKARU: Leader! There’s trouble! Yutan ran away from the office!
KAZUNA: Huh?
HIKARU: Everyone is looking for him now, but they can’t find him at all. What should we do?
KAZUNA: We will look for him soon. *hangs up phone* Yuta is missing. Goshi, do you have any ideas where he might have gone?
GOSHI: The cake shop in front of the station, the sweets shop in the shopping street, and… That guy always eats sweets!
RYUJI: Wrong. Yuta is not in those places.
GOSHI: Tsk! You act like you know everything….
TOMOHISA: Demons have a much stronger sense of smell than humans.
AKANE: Yuta is a half-blood, and his aura is completely different from the other devils.
YUDUKI: If it were us, we would know his whereabouts very quickly.
GOSHI: Then lead the freaking way!
MIROKU: Is that your attitude when asking for help?
HARUHI: I was going to tell you guys… but now I suddenly don’t want to say it.
GOSHI: !!
KAZUNA: Please tell us. We cannot leave Yuta alone.
TOMOHISA: Then, let’s make a contract to exchange information.
KAZUNA: Contract?
RYUJI: The devil won’t help you for free. No matter how small the matter is, a contract is required.
TOMOHISA: I want you to give us some of your blood. *chuckles* I am VERY interested in your blood.
GOSHI: Are you freaking kidding me?
KAZUNA: Ok, I agree.
GOSHI: ….!!! Hey!
KAZUNA: As long as it is to save Yuta, I do not mind.
RYUJI: (mocking) Wow, that’s really touching~! Humans are such strange creatures.
TOMOHISA: Oh, do not worry. We do not need it right now. We will come to you when we need it.
KAZUNA: ….
GOSHI: Hey, tell us where he is!
MIROKU: If you continue to be so rude, I am afraid I won’t be able to help but kill you.
KAZUNA: If that happens, then I would have to stop you.
TOMOHISA: *chuckles*
RYUJI: Akane, have you found where Yuta is?
AKANE: Yeah, I roughly know the location.
GOSHI: Let’s get going!
—
YUTA: Haa… What should I do next? I can no longer stay with everyone.
*Footsteps approaching*
YUTA: —Who is it?!
DEVIL: Greetings.
YUTA: Uh, who are you? Mister? Have we met before?
DEVIL: Although this is the first time we meet, I know you very well because we have the same blood.
YUTA: Ehh??
DEVIL: The devil your ancestor mated with is from our bloodline. Mixed blood devils have powers we do not have. I hope that you can join us as companions.
YUTA: You want me to be your companion?
DEVIL: That’s right. I performed a ritual to increase the demonic power within you. Did you see it?
YUTA: A ritual… Could it be?!
DEVIL: Yes, that magic circle in the tunnel.
YUTA: —!! You killed those innocent people for something like this?!
DEVIL: This kind of thing? For us, this is a big deal. To welcome you as our companion.
YUTA: …Ugh! That’s too cruel! I will never be a companion to such a person!
DEVIL: Oh? So what are you going to do next? You are neither human nor devil, so who do you expect to accept you?
YUTA: I, that…
DEVIL: Haa... you are so useless. You are just a half-baked person.
GOSHI: Yuta!!!
YUTA: Ah!
HIKARU: Sorry for being late.
YUTA: You, you guys... why are you here...
DEVIL: Tsk, a bunch of troublesome guys.
MIKADO: Were you bullied by this demon?!
MOMOTARO: That's unforgivable.
TATSUHIRO: I'm going to beat him up.
KENTO: We’re not that desperate…
KAZUNA: Everybody stand back.
HIKARU· Leader!
KAZUNA: I will never forgive anyone who dares to harm our treasured companions.
YUTA: Kazunachi! This demon is dangerous! He was responsible for the rituals in that tunnel!
KAZUNA: It's okay.
DEVIL: Hmph, you are just an ordinary human, what can you do?
KAZUNA: I will make you shut up your filthy mouth real quick... Amen.
DEVIL: Aaaaaaahhhhh!!
HIKARU: So strong!
MIKADO: The demon disappeared in an instant.
TATSUHIRO: I haven't seen Leader's spells for a long time.
MOMOTARO: As expected, you are a top-class exorcist certified by the church.
KAZUNA: Yuta, are you okay?
YUTA: Yeah…
HARUHI: Wow, what a wonderful exorcism!
YUDUKI: There is no trace left.
RYUJI: Are you guys stupid? Can't we just capture them alive and extract information from them before solving the problem?
AKANE: There's nothing we can do about it. Humans are just emotional.
MIROKU: We cannot understand people who act impulsively because of anger.
RYUJI: Hey, Tomo, you think so too, right? Uh, why are you crying?
TOMOHISA: No, their bond is something to admire, fragile yet beautiful, it is just so stupid...
AKANE: Tomo really has no resistance to beautiful things.
TOMOHISA: Although humans are filthy and hateful, the way they try their best to survive in it is truly irreplaceable.
KENTO: I see, you weren't praising us at all.
GOSHI: It's just a waste of time to talk about this. Let's go back quickly.
MIKADO: It's really strange, once I feel relieved, I suddenly feel hungry.
HIKARU: I want to eat yakiniku! Let's go out and eat together!
TATSUHIRO: Where does the money for yakiniku come from?
HIKARU: Woopsie
MOMOTARO: Are you eating instant noodles again today?
KENTO: You can't eat instant noodles or those additives.
KAZUNA: It tastes great when we eat together.
YUTA: ….
GOSHI: Hey, Yuta, what are you doing? Come here quickly.
YUTA: Eh? Can I... go too?
KAZUNA: Of course. You are our companion, and I don't remember the church allowing you to leave.
YUTA: *cries* Thank you!
—
YUTA: Everyone! I have something very, very, very important to tell you!
GOSHI: It's so noisy! You suddenly want to say something so loudly.
HIKARU: Now that you mention it, I feel a little nervous.
TATSUHIRO: You're not saying you've decided to leave, are you?
YUTA: No, I plan to continue to be an exorcist in Nightmare! No, I should say that I will work harder!
MIKADO: I feel relieved when you say that.
YUTA: However, I am a half-demon and half-human, so I am a half-witted existence. So, I want to turn it into an advantage and work hard to become stronger!
MOMOTARO: What do you mean by turning it into an advantage?
YUTA: Yeah! That is... although he is an exorcist, he is also a demon! Something like that, right?
GOSHI: Isn't that what it means literally?
TATSUHIRO: Is it being a hybrid?
YUTA: I think so! I need to receive training and learn how to control the power of the devil in my body!
MIKADO: That is great!
KENTO: That is good for you. We already have Goshi, who is considered a nonconformist by the church, so having another demon hybrid shouldn't be a problem.
GOSHI: Are you looking for trouble?!
KENTO: I'm just stating the facts.
YUTA: This was actually Kazunachi's advice to me!
KAZUNA: After this incident, we realized that there might be dangerous factors that the church has not yet grasped. In this case, Yuta's presence is very helpful to us.
MIKADO: Tunk! A new era that will overturn history is about to arrive!
HIKARU: I agree! After all, the last time we were on a mission together, we worked well with the devil!
MOMOTARO: Yes, indeed.
TATSUHIRO: They were the ones who told us Yuta’s location before.
YUTA: Eh? Really? Could it be that... They saved me?
GOSHI: How could they be so kind? Those guys won't act without benefits. There must be some conspiracy.
HIKARU: But but! If the cooperation goes well, maybe we can even have a good meal!
MIKADO: I also want to be like Hikarun, and have a friendly relationship with the devil where we can use nicknames with each other!
*Door opening*
HARUHI: Wow, this office is still so shabby!
MIROKU: If we want to use this place, we may need to completely renovate it.
YUDUKI: And I think if all of us come in, it might be too crowded.
AKANE: Tomo, why don't you just buy the whole building? Wouldn't it be quicker to become the owner?
MIKADO: What are you doing here?
RYUJI: We are just here to invite Yuta.
KENTO: Just coming here to negotiate like this is too direct.
TOMOHISA: Besides, I haven't received the equivalent payment from Kazuna yet.
TATSUHIRO: The price?
HIKARU: Eh? Leader? You didn't agree to anything weird, did you?
MOMOTARO: Do you want to take action?
KAZUNA: Don't worry, it's okay.
GOSHI: Yuta will not become a demon.
KENTO: Besides, we can't completely trust you.
RYUJI: Really? But Yuta is always welcome to us.
HARUHI: Wouldn't it be faster to just take him away directly?
YUDUKI: But it's better to solve the problem smoothly.
MIROKU: It's best to make a decision early.
TOMOHISA: We are… waiting for the right time.
HIKARU: Ehhh! I really should pay attention to my back!
YUTA: I'm fine now. I'm determined!
—
*Footsteps approaching*
KAZUNA: I am here to deliver the report.
COMMANDER: You arrived just in time.
KAZUNA: Regarding OBS which is operated by the devil, the murder of the client's wife's affair partner on the grounds of proxy revenge have been commissioned as planned, and have verified that the target has been killed. This is the report.
COMMANDER: I see. So how is the situation over there?
KAZUNA: We are still investigating his family. Although he has decided to continue to work for Nightmare, he still lacks maturity and is potentially a dangerous young man. I will continue to keep an eye on him.
COMMANDER: It also appears that the devils have extended an invitation to you.
KAZUNA: As expected, you are well-informed. However, I have sworn allegiance to God and will never compromise my morals by siding with the devil.
COMMANDER: That is a strong resolve. The most crucial aspect of being an exorcist is maintaining your integrity and refusing to be deceived by anyone.
KAZUNA: Yes, I will keep that in mind.
-END-
