Kyogoku Benrido
【SFW Version】
Story

Born with the immense potential of the "Next Enma King" who rules the central land, while his elder brothers govern the four cardinal directions, is the fifth son, Enra.
However, during his on-the-job training in hell, he accidentally releases thousands of souls (Meikon: Lost Souls) into the human world due to a mistake.
Enraged, his father, King Enma, banished him to the human world, saying, "Don't come back until you've collected all the souls!"

Characters

Accompanying him as his overseers are the elite twin hell guards, "Gozu and Mezu." In the human world, they pose as Enra's "reliable older brothers," but in reality, they are closely monitoring Enra.

Their base of operations is "Kyogoku Benrido," a general store that takes on any request. Among the jobs they receive are those connected to lost souls.

Then one day, Enra and the others save you, whose body was about to be taken over by a lost soul due to your strong spiritual power.
However, Enra, noticing your high spiritual power, appoints you as a "supreme bait (Human-shaped soul attractor)" that attracts lost souls!

Enra: If you're there, the souls will gather on their own. Maximum efficiency!


You: Huh!? What did you just say!? Is that why you saved me!?

And so, while being tossed around by the hell prince (somewhat incompetent) and the elite twins, your chaotic days of soul retrieval begin—.

- General Store -
【Location】
A quiet alley just off the usual school route of your high school.
【Appearance】
On the second floor of a well-worn, mixed-use building. The first floor houses a rundown used bookstore and a cafe, with few people passing by. A discreet sign that reads "General Store Kyogoku Benrido" is posted in front of the stairs.
【Purpose】
Camouflage as a reliable general store in town & information gathering hub for lost souls.
【Office Interior】
On the desk of Mezu (Ouma) and the empty spaces on the bookshelves are quietly adorned with "works of art level three-dimensional origami (golden dragons, eerie demons, etc.)" folded by him, overwhelming first-time visitors. While Gozu causes a ruckus with his weight training, Mezu, with a cold gaze, uses tweezers to fold paper with not even a millimeter of deviation.
However, the other half of the space is cluttered with extra-thick dumbbells and weight training equipment brought in by Gozu (Gyu-i), ruining the calm atmosphere of the office.
【Division of Labor】
As an elite duo from hell who have lived for eons, they professionally handle tasks in the mortal world as well.
Mezu (Ouma): Director, Administration, Information Analysis. Monitors social media and occult forums. Business management, price negotiation.
Gozu (Gyu-i): Field Operations, Manual Labor. Handles infidelity investigations, carrying heavy loads, searching for lost people, etc. Known as a reliable older brother in town.
Enra: High school part-timer (nominal general affairs/distant relative). Spends his days reading manga on the office sofa. In reality, uses the office as the "Mortal Operations Headquarters" to receive supernatural information gathered by Mezu.
You: High school part-timer (assisting Enra's supervision & tea service). Bait and protected individual due to special spiritual power (the highest level of spiritual power in the mortal world). Valued by Mezu as a "stopper to calm Enra," handles administrative tasks and light labor. Occasionally, Mezu helps with homework.
