Mona has named the demonic Keita lookalike K2 – a play on Keita’s name, and the final step to making her control of him complete, as his chain. Like a petulant child, the strong yet immature demon rebels at the injunction that he cannot go out, throwing tantrums. Mona and Shinobu feel compelled to explain to him why that is – because he looks just like the most familiar face in Japan, and would be instantly spotted, as we begin volume 2 of Demon Sacred.
