Start

Everybody can tell his life story on the internet, and it’s not even a trend anymore, only a nearly bound to happen step (at least from what I heard, when a client -six years younger than me- tried to explain to me what was a webblog, wondering if I was screwing with him or if I was put in artificial sleep for the last ten years.

They say that self-centred as I am, I would love complaining before an audience. Actually, I’m quite sceptical about all this fuss.

Seems that I didn’t introduce myself : my name is Satoru Kondo and I am commonly known as canon fodder. No, no, I ain’t no cop nor soldier, not even a teacher. In fact, my occupation may raise a smile on your lips.

Truth is, nowadays the occult is a bit like the sushi. It’s trendy so people altogether eats sushi. Think of all these allergic guys, add people thinking sushi are icky, and those eating only because they don’t want to offend anyone. In the end it’s easy to look like a fool when one says sushi is his professional world, right? But I grew used to the typical slightly raised eyebrow I translated more or less as “Am I talking to a slacker or is he just nuts?”

Neither of them. Like a genetic disorder, I owe this job to my parents, and you can trust me when I say it has nothing to do with string pulling.

To those who didn’t run up for the hills, thinking I have a screw loose : in case you’re wondering if I’m able to tell your fortune from frozen guts, or if, thanks to my groundbreaking technique, I can make loved ones coming back by adding the numbers of your master card… I can do nothing of the sort. I am an onmyôji… well, simply speaking I am an “exorcist”. Somewhat like a pest exterminator, hardly better.

So I’m going for telling you a bit of my everyday life… Besides, I’ll quickly start with an easy job, of the kind that happens a lot in a week.
