Boy/History

## History

### Prologue

Ever since young, the boy seems to have been abused by his own father. After still unrevealed circumstances, the Church finds him and takes to Northern Italy to raise him as an exorcist, realizing how much power he held. There he was trained by Abbot Nicholas and other exorcists in an abusive and brutal manner which left him scarred. Abbot Nicholas also crammed God's teachings into him, which made him take the Bible's teachings in a very strict manner.

In 2018, at age 12, he left his monastery with Dante, who was supposed to become his teacher. However, this did not last long, as the low-level succubus they were pursuing happened to be accompanied by Asmodeus, who could cover her demonic power to perfection. In an attempt to render him and Dante unable to fight, Asmodeus manipulates the women from the town they were in to rape him, to no avail. He manages to repel Asmodeus successfully, but during the fight he rips out his right eye and casts it into hell due to having looked at women in a sexual manner, feeling deserving of the punishment.

Later in the aftermath, he reveals to Dante he wants to die after defeating many demons just so he is welcomed into Heaven. Hearing this, Dante reprimands him, saying that he is not a believer but a slave. He tells the boy to fall in love, and then the way he sees the world will change.

The boy stops being Dante's student since he is way stronger and there is nothing Dante could teach him regarding exorcism.

### Battles with the Lords of Sin

A year later, after the fight with Asmodeus, the boy engages Mammon, in which he manages to repel him as well.

In *Italy, year 2020*, the boy repels the Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub, who was manipulating the holy remains of Mother Rosa.

### Part 1

*Main article: Part 1*
Four years later since the prologue, Satan issues a statement via the possession of Abbot Nicholas at 3 A.M., the Devil's hour. The boy, who was reading love poems and songs at the time, is alarmed of this by his secretary, Marco. On the way, he is shown the video in which Satan issues a statement, inviting the creator of *"Gallery of Evil"*, Imuri Atsuki and those who hold her dear to Gehenna. Due to the danger, he is assigned to protect her from Satan, so he goes to her Rome studio in order to be near her.

There he meets her for the first time as she painted a painting depicting Azazel falling for a human woman. The boy points this out unconsciously, recognizing the fallen angel and wondering why he would go against God's orders for a human woman. Imuri laughs, saying she wouldn't know, as she is no angel, but explains her theory that angels fall to the Earth depending on the graveness of their sin, hence the most grave one is love.

Afterwards they both move to Japan on Imuri's request, to a studio away from most people due to possible danger. Imuri calls him a knight in shining armor, as he said he would protect her. He refutes this, saying he's a priest, not a knight.

As soon as they arrive, the boy clarifies their living arrangements: each one of them in different floors. Imuri says no, explaining that she's absolutely useless at housework and had always hired someone to do it for her. Since doing that is not possible now, the boy agrees to doing most chores except her laundry and cleaning her room. She still tries to get around this, though.

After Imuri goes away due to a business related call, he finds himself looking at one of her paintings with the theme of "demons who loved". Imuri appears besides him and tells him that one day she'd like to know love the same way as the couples depicted in her paintings. Moments later, he senses a possible demon that puts him on alert.

The boy serves Imuri the pastries he made, and Imuri comments on their tastiness, prompting the boy to answer that he had done various chores at the monastery he lived in. Imuri uses this to start a conversation regarding her homeland, and the boy finds it odd when she mentions the place she came from was hot at times, while cold at others.
