The Organization's New Recruit Isn't Human

[Pairing: Rei. Screenshots saved, 2024/2/15. Revised: 24/3/19. Revised 24/4/7, 4/16, and 25/7/10]

The organization had high hopes for its newest recruit. Before Tsukimori Yuito had even earned a codename, he was already well known.

As a support operative, he had a perfect mission record and got the job done cleanly and efficiently, never leaving loose ends.

His reputation, however, wasn't exactly stellar.

"He's... different from the others. Anyway, when dealing with him, whether it's a mission or anything else, don't ask questions. As long as the result is good, the process doesn't matter."

At first, Bourbon didn't think much of it. As an undercover agent, he'd seen everything.

That is, until he experienced it for himself.

The new recruit didn't go on missions or sleep at one or two in the morning. He said he was going for a walk.

The new recruit ate and ate: morning, afternoon, and night. The moment he opened his eyes, he was eating.

And then there was this:

"Why did I join the organization? Of course, it was for the 'food.'" With that, he took a huge bite of his sandwich.

Bourbon: ...He'd never met anyone like this before.

But after all that, nothing could surprise him anymore!

Then, on a full-moon night, he saw the new recruit's ears and tail.

Bourbon: ...Ears and a tail?

Bourbon: So he isn't human at all.

●

Tsukimori Yui was a monster, a "ghost" that had to feed on human malice. The System he was bound to sent him to a certain black organization.

From the start, he was a disposable low-level pawn, easily cast aside.

Tsukimori Yui was quite satisfied with that. He learned to work and earn money, just like the humans who had once cared for him, and support himself.

By the time he realized it, he had become a famous, highly watched new recruit who was about to receive a codename.

What's more, people were saying that his mind wasn't normal, that he might be sick, and that he wasn't human.

Tsukimori Yui, busy eating a pork bun: ▼_▼?

How rude. He'd been marinated in humanity through and through.

System: ...Could you put your ears and tail away before saying that?!

-

[Stay alive.]

It was a promise he had made to his guardian, and he lived for it.

He just never expected that a monster could experience [love] one day.

So he had one more reason to stay alive.

Even if he was forgotten,

this love would never fade...

"Who told you I forgot?"

The blond man, dressed in a suit, cornered him against the wall, revealing his true identity and his true self. His shadow engulfed Yui completely. A smile played across that handsome face, but it looked more like a snarl through gritted teeth.

"I've. Got. You."
