Constricted Demon
I come from a lineage of demon extermination that has been continued for generations. The founder is the famous Momotaro. Unknown to others, he exterminates demons that are hostile to humans. Evil will exist as long as the human world continues.
Of course it's just bad for humans, and they have their own righteousness. But if it's inconvenient for humans, I have to eliminate it. That's our family.
Well, the constricted demon I mentioned at the beginning is the target this time.
This terrifying demon must be eliminated immediately.
After all, instead of being "killed", it makes them "suicide by hanging".
If such an existence were captured and used by a criminal organization, it would cause great confusion in human society.
However, the search proved difficult. I've heard rumors, but I can't find any clues.
Above all, there was no sign of movement. Are you cautious, or are you originally not interested in killing humans? Anyway, this is not clear.
I searched for two years. And then, a few days ago, I finally got information from an informant specializing in paranormal phenomena that if I went to a house in a corner of a high-class residential area, I might be able to find out something.
Unfortunately, the informant was found dead yesterday, hanging himself.
There is no suicide note, and the motive is unknown. I knew right away that the cause was a constricted demon.
I have to stop the evil deeds of the constricted demon as soon as possible. I went to the address he gave me.
There was a historical Western-style building that should be called a mansion.
Exactly the appearance is that of a famous family. Even though I was nervous, I knocked on the door.
The one who came out was a maid, but she seemed to understand the story and was led me to a large room.
Is it a trap? Are they trying to end me here? I waited with the utmost caution.
The door opened and a woman entered.
"Sorry for the delay. My name is Rin, the head of the family..."
A green wind ran through my body.
So Beautiful!
In addition to her beauty, her style was also at a level I had never seen before. In today's world, if I say something like that, I'm likely to be criticized for being lookism, but there's nothing I can do about it.
She was a modern beauty goddess. Even if she wears a corset, she has a waist that is so slim. She was bewitching, but not nasty.
"Um... Do you need something from my family...?"
Rin's voice brought me back to myself. I was alert again and took a fighting stance.
"I would like to ask you one thing. Are you a 'constricted demon'?"
“Yes.
Rin replied without showing any guilt. But... it looks completely human.
"I'm sorry, but I can't see anything but humans..."
Rin made an expression like she realized, and started parting her hair.
"Here, this one and this one. My horns..."
There is indeed a horn. It must have been hidden by her hair.
"Confirmed. I'm a clan that exterminates demons that harm people like you. I'm sorry, but I have subjugate you."
"Oh dear, seems like I'? in trouble. But I didn't kill any humans..."
Even if most demons lie, our clan can see through them. Aura fluctuates.
But this constricted demon, Rin, had no fluctuations. She's not lying.
“It seems that you are not lying.
Rin calls the maid and is talking about something. and turned over here.
"I understand. I have to work soon, Do you mind accompany me?"
"Ewh?"
…So, me, Rin, and the maid headed to a large exhibition hall. It's embarrassing, but I don't have much contact with this kind of place.
"The show is going on now. Please take a seat here."

I was put through the front row to watch the show and stuff. It was a fashion show. Each model carries the sponsor's name on their back and wears topical clothes.
It's gorgeous, gorgeous, and it's a world that I have nothing to do with.
And when Rin entered as a model, the atmosphere changed at once.
All eyes and ears gather on Rin. All the models that have come out so far have become a thing of the past. Even an amateur like me can understand it. This venue is now Rin's.
The fashion show eventually came to end. Models other than Rin are depressed and annoyed. There was no end to the number of people leaving the venue with theur brooding look on their faces.
Well, next is the filming of the drama. However, Rin's role is more like an extra, dressed as her maid and just saying "yes" to the main actor.
Even watching through the monitor, Rin's presence was amazing. This drama was a special drama about the 10th anniversary of a certain TV station, and it was made with a huge production budget and famous actors, but Rin was just on the screen without moving and seemed to be a supporting role. .
"yes"
Who do you think can captivate the entire shooting scene with just this one line?
The actress fell to her knees and the actors all seemed to have their hearts stolen by Rin. There were some tough guys who made advances, but they were lightly treated....
Come to think of it, the outfits and accessories that Rin was wearing today were all famous around the world. She wears it and seems to be Rin's job is to appear in the media.
End the day and go home.
"Constricted demon... No, Rin-san. I understand. In short, you 'did nothing'."
"I'm glad you understood. Yes, when I work, the people I work with commit suicide... So I keep my work to a bare minimum."
"I understand that. But I understand why women hang themselves. The problem is that men also hang themselves because of Rin. Why the hell is this?"
“Well, Because of love . …"
This... isn't Rin, a constricted demon, just a victim?
It's not her fault that she looks too good, she cares about it. Constricted demons must be very pitiful beings.
"I understand. Far from harming humans, Rin-san is trying to limit the damage as much as possible. It's not our family's intention to deal with such an existence. I'm going home."
"Please wait"
Rin stopped me.
"You may think I'm rude, but I've fallen in love with you. If you don't mind, can we have dinner together...?"
Rin appeals to me with upturned eyes and faintly flushed cheeks. The aura does not fluctuate.
I'm not lying.
I'm a man too. I accepted this invitation without hesitation.
Apparently, I've also been possessed by this constricted demon.
I hope I don't have to hang myself like other men...
