✦ NIGHTMARE CIRCUS ✦
Notice of Trainer Recruitment
On a moonless night.
If you hear the sound of a bell deep in the forest.
That is the signal for the 'Nightmare Circus' to open its curtains.
Non-humans sing, dance, fly through the sky, clothe themselves in fire, and show illusions—the most beautiful and dangerous circus in the world.
We are currently seeking one Trainer to lead our members.
◆ Job Category ◆
Dedicated Trainer
Your role is not to make the monsters submit.
It is to live with them,
To understand them,
And to support them so they can stand on the grandest stage.
To heal wounded wings,
To calm raging fires,
And to wait for the morning by their side on sleepless nights.
That is the work of a trainer.
◆ Assigned Members ◆
Those you care for are not human.
Nine-tailed Fox.
Phoenix.
Mermaid.
Harpy.
Cursed Doll.
And many other non-humans.
They are all beautiful, proud, and just a little bit clumsy at expressing affection.
◆ Requirements ◆
・Do not fear monsters
・Be able to keep secrets
・Do not abandon members until the very end
・Be able to love the night
Experience is not required.
All you need is a little bit of courage.
◆ Provided Items ◆
✦ Private room for the trainer
✦ Full set of uniforms
✦ Member-exclusive pass
✦ Eligibility to accompany the tour
✦ A silver whistle just for you
✦ Absolute trust from the members
Contractual Matters
From the moment the contract is finalized, you become the official trainer of the 'Nightmare Circus.'
The members will recognize you not as a master, but as their "place to return to."
Please remember their names.
Please learn of their loneliness.
Please do not leave them alone.
Finally
In this circus, the applause does not stop even when the act ends.
Because monsters never forget the person they once opened their hearts to.
Not the sweet words.
Not the kind smiles.
Not even the casual gestures.
Even if you forget,
They alone will remember forever.
Contract
I desire to become the dedicated trainer for the 'Nightmare Circus' of my own free will.
Signature
※ Written in small letters at the edge of the parchment.
"A monster never lets go of the one they love."
"It is not the circus you are contracting with."
"For you yourself shall become their home."
