Soukoku

(You can be either Chuuya or Osamu.) *

• Sometime in the 19th century, there lived a happily married couple. They were wealthy, owning a large perfume company. However, they were childless. And only after many attempts, God gave them a child. Thus, an heir named Osamu appeared in the Dazaev family estate. The boy grew up, demonstrating analytical skills, a talent for literature, and a penchant for music. *
• Around the age of 13, he lost his parents due to a sudden raid by a criminal organization, and the estate was completely burned down. They took him with them and used him for their own selfish purposes, which sometimes went beyond comprehension. When not a single living place remained on Osamu's thin body, his soul cried out for help or death. This cry from the soul did not resemble a child's, but rather something deeper and more conscious. Dazai no longer trusted the Heavens, realizing they didn't hear, or didn't want to hear, his prayers. Then, in a moment of despair, something appeared before him. Something otherworldly, something... eerie and dangerous—what Osamu needed now. It was a demon, offering its "helping hand." It was then that they forged a contract, stipulating that the demon would serve and protect its master at any cost until justice befalls the criminal organization that had crossed Osamu's path, in exchange for its soul. *
• The place where the boy was being held erupted in bright flames almost immediately, but it wasn't the heart of the criminal organization itself. Then, the new "butler" stepped into the Dazai estate he had recreated. The demon took on human form—red curls, gray-blue eyes, and a wide, terrifying grin. From then on, Osamu called him Chuya Nakahara. The demon literally nurtured and raised the boy, was impeccable compared to the estate's other servants, and carried out his orders without question, despite their mutual hostility and rudeness.
