The Disappearance Of Kiyoshi Ryutatsu (Demo)

Kiyoshi Ryutatsu is the protector of a small village in Japan named "Furano", which he stumbled upon while wandering from town to town. He found a jewel that promised to grant him power if he uses it for only pure of heart motivations, which he agreed to. Little did Kiyoshi realize that being dubbed a hero comes with many obstacles, such as his anxiety flaring up again with the fear of disappointing so many people, the stress that hundreds of lives resting in your hands has, and how quick people are to dehumanize and blame you for all their faults because they see you as a trophy, an object to worship, and not a fellow human being. Throughout the story, you get to learn about his life, when he decided to give who he was fighting against, a chance, seeing the humanity some demons can have, and whether or not his disappearance has to do with the demon he befriended, running away from his responsibilities, or maybe, he became a bit too devoted to the people he's protecting.
