The small golem trapped in the circle began to wave more enthusiastically once it felt Clementine's gaze upon it, both arms flailing in her direction. It wore a happy smile, dancing around the circle of its confinement. Still having access to sun and water alike, it didn't seem overly concerned with its confinement, unlike most of the other demons.
To the golem's side, the leaper gave another croak, and its tail twitched.
"All five of these creatures are demons, yes. You'll find, in this line of work, that demons come in many different forms. Not all of them appear human. Not all of them are necessarily malicious. Many demons long to live peacefully, just like any other animal would. I brought these five here to illustrate some of the most basic rules of demonology," Yukio explained, stepping around the circles so that he was on the opposite side of them as Clementine, and able to face her fully. "The definition of a demon stems to what world it originates from. There are two main planes of existence to take into consideration. One is the world that we live in, the living and material world, which we call Assiah. The other is the world that demons are born and live in, Gehenna. Gehenna is a realm ruled by Satan, the god of demons. Coming here made me realize that there are more than two planes of existence — but the one thing that remains constant between the demons I can help you exorcise is that they require a host in the living world. They need to possess something, either living or nonliving, to enter Assiah. From left to right, each one of these demons has taken control of something in order to remain grounded here. The coal tars have possessed coal dust. The moth, an insect. The golem, plant life. The leaper, a frog. And the salamander, a lizard."
The salamander gave a snooty huff of fire, glowering.
