Only those who have experienced the greatest misfortune can feel the greatest happiness.
When people die, they are guided to the afterlife by Grim Reapers. Those who took their own lives are forced to become Grim Reapers as punishment. The moment they become one, all memories of their original life are forgotten.
If memories of their past life return, they lose their qualification as a Grim Reaper. Therefore, Grim Reapers are very reluctant to regain their memories.
Additionally, there is a rule that Grim Reapers must not get close to humans.
Grim Reapers each possess a weapon to reap human lives!
Ordinary humans cannot see Grim Reapers. However, it is said that they become visible to humans who are nearing death.
The ability to fly is also one of their major characteristics.
I crouch down in the playground, sipping on strawberry milk. Why? Because there's a kid whose life I'm supposed to take, but I can't see them anywhere—having half-given up, I rest Toyako on my knees and suck on the straw, holding the carton in one hand.
Ah, seriously, if I fail this time too, the higher-ups are definitely going to chew me out.
As that thought takes hold, anxiety rushes in like a tsunami, occupying my mind. I start gnawing on the straw.
I'm standing in front of a vending machine. One coin, two—wait, I'm one short.
After staring at the vending machine for a long time, I finally let out a deep sigh.
How is this even possible for a Grim Reaper's dignity?
