Bookkeepers

**Bookkeepers** ( 本の持ち主, *hon no mochinushi*, "book owner") are humans who are able to read and cast spells from a demon's spell book. As the name suggests, they are also the ones who usually carry and protect their partner's spell book.

## Overview

At the start of the battle between demons that occurs every 1,000 years, 100 demons are sent to the Human World in order to find a human partner who will act as their bookkeeper to fight alongside them. During the battle, demons are unable to freely cast spells as they were able to in the Demon World so they must rely on a human partner who would be able to cast spells for them. The bookkeeper's role is to help these demons develop their power through the spell books which are fueled by human emotion.

### How Bookkeepers are Found

Demons are able to know which human is meant to be their partner if the human is able to read their spell book or if the spell book begins to glow bright during their encounter. Humans that are not meant to be bookkeepers will be unable to read the text within the spell book. While some demons end up finding their bookkeepers through random chance, most demons are otherwise naturally drawn nearby or towards their fated human partner but they will not know when they'll be able to meet them.

Because there have been at least more than one battle that took place in the Human World, current day descendants of bookkeepers from the previous battle could potentially become bookkeepers themselves although this is not a guarantee.

### What Determines a Partnership

Neither humans nor demons have a choice in who they would want as their partner. While many teams usually fight together with some sort of common goal in mind, demons and their bookkeepers do not necessarily need to be individually compatible with each other or even share the same motives for them to be paired up. While never explained in detail of the specifics, what is known about partnerships between demons and their bookkeepers is that their hearts must be on a similar wavelength with each other in order for them to become true partners.

### How Bookkeepers Participate in Battles

Heart power is a necessary component in spell casting and the bookkeeper is the one who supplies this energy. Thoughts and emotions are converted into power by the spell book and this fuels the energy and strength behind every spell. The power to cast spells is not limitless so bookkeepers must be able to conserve their strength when necessary and use their spells strategically in order to be successful in a battle.

### Restrictions

Bookkeepers that have already been partnered up will never be able to become the bookkeeper of another demon. Once a bookkeeper has been found, this bookkeeper will only ever be able to read and cast spells from their partner’s spell book and never any other spell book. Bookkeepers are also unable to destroy their own spell books.
