Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 2 Pg 53

Imagining the large mouth of a terrifying demon opening and chewing on his head, Tokimori had been unable to eat peaches since then. Telling a normal child that they would be eaten by demons, or that humans were tasty may have been considered a cruel way to raise them, but Katsumoto constantly taught him about the cruelty of demons and the fragility of humans so he would be raised without finding any of those things strange. More than learning to fear them, it was so a demon master could carve into their heart that demons must never be underestimated at any cost, to be confident in their own power, to go out to the Intersection of the Six Realms where demons lived, find a demon they were certain of, and offer them a contract. The way to get to the Intersection of the Six Realms, how to find a demon should have been something a demon master knew instinctively when they were born without anyone teaching them, but Tokimori didnt really understand any of it.

He didnt need to search for demons, they came to him in swarms. There was always one particular demon that was as tall as the top of his bedroom window that was especially persistent. He would watch Tokimori from outside his window all the time, and when he would go outside, the demon would follow him around like a stalker. Thankfully for Tokimori, the swarms of demons never came inside the house, and whenever he would go outside, they could only come within a certain distance of him. Tokimoris life filled with loneliness and fear, and the unrest he felt day after day because of demons, changed dramatically when he met Yato.
