Note : Many of the terms used in this oneshot, I've kept them as Romanized Japanese (eg Youkai) ; as some of the terms are not interpreted in the western way.

-Human friend, you said...?

-Right!!!

[handwritten]
-Glance

-Huh.
-I'd be glad for you if she's really one.

-Huh?

-...Shucks...



21
-You gave us away!

-As I said we're Freelancers... though we specialize in Youkai related incidents...

-Arrgh!! Mia kun! Don't walk around without your clothes on!!

-Get used to man already!
-What use is your seductive Succubus power if you can't stand looking at man!

-You sucker! That's what made my Neruru chan great!

-And this horny man's her boss...



22
[Background]
-Shook Shook

-And what's wrong with everything here...?
-You're no ordinary human, right?

-...Yeah, we're no humans.
-We all belong to a non-human races broadly named "Shinma".
-He's Mia Bluthein, an elite Vampire from the reputed Makai family.
-Neruru Hearteater's an otherworldly Succubus.
-This Demon Conte is Shadow Shadric Kagel.
-And this boy's Kuroto Kurobane, a Karasu Tengu.




23
-Those beings that you humans usually call God or Devil, they all live under the same world as you.
-And to a lesser extent, Shinmas lived under guise in the human world too.
-Our job is to settle any troubles arising between humans and Shinmas,
-And that makes the mission of Godland Company!

-Troubles between Shinmas and human...?

[background]
-Slimy

-Hyaa!

-Oh just one example - we do jobs like protecting baby Kraken that lost its way on humans streets and send them back to the sea...

-Don't be scared! This pet won't eat human flesh!

[background]
-Twirl



24
-And we treat injured Shimas too, since they can't go to a human doctor.
-Sometimes we help Shima look for lost friends, and do mediations to help settle inter-racial quarrels.

[background]
-Bazaza

-And - now that she know even more, what shall we do!

-Ergh,
-there's nothing I can do except to clear this memory out of her head...

[background]
-Shock

-Noooo!!

[background]
-Yaaaank

-No you can't do this to her Haizono!!!

-Arrgh!! Stop this Kurotooo!



25
-I came all the way from the mountains to know people!
-I'll never make a friend forget me!! No way!!!

-I got you, I got you!

-No-!!

[handwritten]
-Flap Flap

-She's done nothing wrong.
-Let's give her time before deciding what to do!

-Be a good boy and let go (heart)!

-Do something!

-Ouch!

-Why do I have to encounter all this...



26
-You're okay...?

-Don't touch me!!!

-I hate freaks like you bunch!!!



27
-To think my neighbours are monsters!
-If you're really harmless creatures that don't eat people as you claimed to be, just let me go now.

-......Sure, we've never intended to do you harm.

-Whoa, eat you? Don't flatter yourself.

-Wait a minute!



27
-We've moved here to live urban life like ordinary people!
-Kuroto meant well too - he just haven't get used to interacting with people yet...
-He has a human mother;
-He carries half the blood a human.
-He came to human society in search of his mom, whom he has never met ever since he's born.
-For someone who knew nothing of people and whom was raised as a Karasu Tengu in the mountains...
-to meet you and know you as a friend was his greatest joy.
-He thought... if he can get a human friend to accept him,
-he'll surely get his mother to accept a Karasu Tengu as her son.



28
-...I'm sorry.

-Looks like we'll be a trouble to you.
-We'll be here for just a short while and we'll move again in the near future.

[Box]
-Thank you for being our neighbour, even for a short time.




29
-Even if they say so,
-how am I going to be his friend...

-!?

-Little lady, do you realize than there are some existence on this world that you should never enrage, more than the mafia...?
-That's us the Shinma Yakuzas! It's a shame your Granny don't know basic things like this!



30
-If you're flirting with me, please back away now... Your eyes creeps me out...

-You're rude! I'm born with eyes like this!!

-This is a wonderful hill -
-all the spiritual powers surrounding this mountain, and superb as hunting ground with all humans living around it!
-Perfect for us to live in!

-My Granny won't see our hill to monsters like you!



32
-That's right! That's why we've got to sending her cute granddaughter's head back to her as a gift -
-and make her change her mind.....! Kakaka...
-Leave only her head!!
-We'll devour this girl down to her every last scrap!

-Mine, humans are arrogant isn't it!

-Uhh!!

-You're normal, and we're monsters? Who decided that!
-You know nothing about this world and yet though you rule this... You're just as much a monster as us...!

-Stop now monster!!!

-Are you okay?

-Kuroto kun!!

-When I met you this morning... I can smell a trace of Mazoku* blood on Meoto -
-I though there might be some Shinmas around you that you don't know of, and kept watch on you!
*魔族 - Mazoku, a japanese legend term used to refer supernatural existence in general.

-...To think I... I said all that hurtful word to you...!!

-Finish them both!! We'll teach them how not to mess with Magaris!!
