Rin Okumura, correct? Well met, well met.

The book at the front desk spoke of you.

[aono]

The one and only! Also everything the book said is true, I checked it already.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha. Even besting your enemies with friendship?

[aono]

Especially besting my enemies with friendship.

[unsaid]

Fufu, how powerful. What types of enemies do you typically face?

[aono]

Usually it's demons, or humans who were led astray by demons. But even demons don't do stuff just to be evil, so if you take the time to listen and find out why they're doing something you can usually find a way to get them to stop what they're doing without killing anyone.

[unsaid]

Oh...

That is a very - different way to handle demons than what I am used to.

[aono]

Yeah? How do you handle demons?

[unsaid]

Exorcism rituals... Sometimes a special sword that might purge them from this world.

The demons do not normally survive.

[aono]

Oh! Yeah, we have those too. But the demons just come back later, they don't actually die. When we stab 'em we just send 'em back to hell and they find their way back to Earth eventually.

[unsaid]

And they no longer cause problems once they do? My, what a peaceful iteration of demons. It would be nice if all worlds were able to enjoy this version.

[aono]

Sometimes they keep causing problems, but sometimes they learn their lesson.

[unsaid]

Fufu... What a hard-working man you are. Is it common for modern youth to face off against demons in your realm?

[aono]

Nah, not really. But my dad was a priest, so it kinda runs in the family?

[Also Rin has a long black tail hanging off of his backside. Just out there for the world to see.]

[unsaid]

[i see,]

... does the tail run in the family as well?

[aono]

Nah, Dad's a human.

...I guess I should say he adopted me too. We're not related by blood.
