After his younger twin brotherYukio Okumuratends to his wounds, Rin is forced to attend an interview at a mall for a part-time job, surprisingly getting hired after causing much hassle for his boss, Ms. Momoi. His guardian,Shiro Fujimoto, contacts him to come home early to celebrate Yukio's farewell to True Cross Academy. Beforedeparting from work in the parking lot, Rin encounters a hobgoblin grabbing onto a scarf owned by a little girl. As he chases after it into the store, the creature knocks over a stack of boxes full of soft drinks, but Rin manages to shield the girl, recognized as Yui, from getting hurt. At night, Yukio goes to the playground and fetches Rin, who consequently lost his job. Yui and her father show up at the monastery to thank Rin for his good deed, but Rin is angered when her father says that she is troublesome and has vivid imaginations. Shiro gives Yui a charm to protect her before she leaves with her father. The next morning, as Yukio has already left for school, Rin views strange coal tars floating outside his window, unseen to the people outside. Rin reluctantly encounters Reiji, surrounded by coal tars, bribing Rin to keep quiet, to which he declines. Rin then punches Reiji due to provocation, which causes Reiji to transform into a demon named Astaroth and bring a hot metal rod towards Rin's face. Rin reacts, which awakens his dormant, blue-flamed demonic powers. Shiro arrives and drives Astaroth out of Reiji. Shiro then explains to Rin that there are two dimensions, them being the material world called Assiah and the demon world called Gehenna. Rin, revealed to be the son ofSatanborn from a human, is now victim of all other demons.
