On the morning of Tokimori’s fifth birthday, Yato suddenly appeared, sitting quietly on his pillow. Since he was half asleep, and figured demons wouldn’t come all the way into the house, he thought he was dreaming at first. However, no matter how many times he blinked, he was there. He seemed to be a small demon. He was about ten centimeters tall, and didn’t look all that different from a human. Wrapped around his body was something like tiger striped underpants. There were two short and thin horns just barely coming out from his head. He turned his head toward him as he lay still in bed, his body tensing when he looked at the small demon who spoke to him.
“All right, you finally see me. Tokimori, I am Yato. Your demon. Let’s be friends.”
Tokimori was dumbfounded at the ten centimeter small demon’s words, and couldn’t even reply.
“Hey, can you hear my voice? I’m not like those big and scary demons you hate. As you can see, I’m small and weak. So, get to know me. Can you understand what I’m saying?”
“……yeah.”
Tokimori finally sat up and answered him. Demons had watched him ever since he was born, but this was the first time he had a conversation with one. The more he looked at the small demon from this close of a distance, the less he could make out his expression.
“Call me Yato.”
