Rakshasa's lips slowly curled upward.
Drawing out an arc difficult to decipher.
"I wonder where he'll be promoted to after such an impressive achievement."
"If he can be promoted to the Arson and Theft Magistrate... that would be truly wonderful."
"Haha... hahahaha..."
Rakshasa suppressed his voice, letting out a sinister "hahahaha" laugh.
The laughter came so abruptly.
So bizarre...

The sunlight that leaked into the room through the window was the only light source for the room.
After Rakshasa closed the window, the darkness enveloped him and every corner of the room...

...
Edo, somewhere—

Upon hearing this sound, Asi knew it must be their family cat, Red Bean Bun, knocking down the Statue of Niō placed at the entrance.
"Hey! Red Bean Bun!"
Asi hurried to the entrance.
