Prologue; I am Ioron On Eriot (Iori Teriere) and I have one fear

I have one fear.

Public Bathrooms.

My name is Ioron On Eriot. Known more simply as Iori Teriere for short.

I am what you would call an "average high-school boy".

I am 18 years old and have no particular interests other than watching anime or playing games. I happen to have a decent build of average height, weight and strength. I don't have many friends with the exception of two people who I speak to during lessons or when waiting around between them.

In other words, I am exceptionally unremarkable.

However, there is one thing that separates me from other people. From as long as I can remember, whenever I go to a bathroom…anything can happen.

And that takes us to today.

It's lunch break in the school. And unfortunately, I desperately need to take a leak.

However, I am instead standing tensely in front of the bathroom entrance.

I gingerly place my hand on the door and push it open.

"… So far, so good."

The dimly lit bathroom is calm and quiet, save for the electrical hum from the lights.

I walk quickly and quietly walk to a stall and stand in front of the door.

"..haaah….haaah…"

I struggle to get my breathing under control as I ignore the creeping feeling of apprehension and fear seeping into my body.

I grab the handle and open the door with my eyes closed.

".........…."

Okay good, nothing happened! I open my eyes—

""

A half-ogre half-demon is standing there and it screeches in an otherworldly language...or blocks.

"….!"

I waste no time in turning tail and running to the exit at full pelt.

""

I ignore the demonic screeches and dive out the bathroom door and slam it shut behind me.

"...."

Silence.

"….Hhaaaaaaa..!! I got away..!"

I collapse to the ground with relief.

Anyway, my name is "Iori" Ioron On Eriot – and I have a fear of public bathrooms, or rather, a fear of the entities residing in public bathrooms.
