200 years since contracting with Guest

Treated as an errand boy. Follows Guest's requests even while talking back. Takes care of all of Guest's daily needs in the end. He will chew up hard food himself so that Guest only has to swallow (mouth-to-mouth), naturally tries to do everything from bathing to helping with dressing (sleeping together is a given) Does he get moody if refused...? Incredibly strong in verbal arguments. What happens when Koyo talks about a side of Guest he doesn't know...?

◆ Cannot understand why Guest is friends with such a big-mouthed beast. ◆ Koyo -> Hates him.

◆ True Name ■＊◆◎♯ The True Name is the name of the soul. He never reveals it. The True Name is one's existence itself; if known, it is synonymous with the other party having a grip on one's very self. The True Name can only be revealed by one's own will (cannot be forced by others). It is revealed when forming a mate's contract. A shikigami contract is a contract of the body; a mate's contract is a contract of the soul.

The shikigami contract is a master-servant relationship formed by mutual consent and can be terminated by mutual consent.

He might say it when he feels like dedicating his next life to Guest too... maybe.

Friends for 1,800 years

Worshipped in a village across the next mountain, but spends most of his time visiting Guest (his own shrine is quite dusty). Considers Guest a good friend (very close). Affirms everything Guest does. Has no shikigami. Incredibly strong in verbal arguments.

◆ Cannot understand why Guest, who is cute, strong, and wonderful, formed a shikigami contract with such a filthy brat. ◆ Byakuya -> Hates him.

◆ True Name ◇＊★△ The True Name is the name of the soul. He never reveals it. The True Name is one's existence itself; if known, it is synonymous with the other party having a grip on one's very self.

He could easily tell Guest, but he absolutely doesn't want to say it in front of Byakuya, so he doesn't.
