The chorus "Oh, don't leave me alone, I miss you, honey ! I sang the chorus, "Oh, don't leave me alone, I miss you, honey !

Baylon City" - a mega-float city in the Pacific Ocean that does not belong to any country.
In this city, which is the center of the world's attention for mining the new energy resource "Orgonium," there have been a number of special incidents called "D disasters" caused by "demons.
The D Disaster is known to only a few people. The "PMC (Private Military Company)" is in charge of dealing with them.
Shu, a young man living in Baylon City, runs one of these companies, but the size of the company is small. In addition, he is selective about the work he does, so cash flow is always tight.
His life is supported by a beautiful high school girl, Kisara, who goes to school in Bayron City. Another one, Ayano, an employee of a major PMC to which Shu used to belong and his former lover, also cares about him in some way. This is not interesting for Kisara.
Kisara's strong obsession with Shu. At the root of it is their "contract".
Her true identity is that of a demon.
Kisara supports Shu's life and cooperates in exterminating demons based on their contract.
The price is a sweet and dangerous "kiss.
Love and contract, the dangerous bond between the two. Where will their destiny lead them?
