Four Demonly Kings

Four Demonly Kings is a PPC spin-off written by KnShirayuki and is also the name for the group of four agents featured in it. The spin-off can be found on Blogspot, with mirror Wix and Dreamwidth versions.

Synopsis
Kaguya signs up for the PPC in hopes of dealing with badfic-induced craziness, with his loyal maid/housemate/fangirl Momoka tagging along. Together, they work as a pair of agents for the Video Games Division of DMS and eventually recruit Urato and Inasuke, with whom they form an unofficial agent quartet.

Featured Agents

 * Kaguya Hazama – RC 381, DMS - Video Games Division. Rich pretty-boy botchan with badfic-induced Jekyll-and-Hydism.
 * Momoka Shigisawa – RC 381, DMS - Video Games Division. Die-hard loyal housemate and assistant to Kaguya, has a healthy interest in hot guys.
 * Urato Tomiyama - RC 🤘, DF. Recruit from a particularly nasty Touken Ranbu badfic, Kansai-accented manly-man.
 * Inasuke Akagashi – RC 🤘, DF. Recruit from a particularly nasty Touken Ranbu badfic, fan of cute and pretty Western things.

Featured RCs

 * RC 381, inhabited by Kaguya and Momoka. The RC is a generic washitsu-style two-room suite, with sliding doors and tatami mats. One of the rooms has computers for games. The number is preferably read miyabi (elegance) via goroawase wordplay.
 * RC 🤘, inhabited by Urato and Inasuke. It is nested inside RC 381 and doesn't have a consistent doorway, which means agents from both RCs can and do stumble into either RC at inconvenient times and get trapped in either. It also has two rooms, each occupied by one agent; the room belonging to Urato is very messy, while the one belonging to Inasuke is neat and cutely decorated.

Trivia

 * The name "Four Demonly Kings" (四夜叉王 Shiyashaō) is a reference to the Four Heavenly Kings (四天王 Shitennō) and the Four Yakṣas (四夜叉 Yon'yasha) in Buddhist mythology, as well as the fact the four agents are surnamed after characters from the novel The Golden Demon (金色夜叉 Konjiki Yasha).
 * The agents have their last names taken from the novel The Golden Demon by Meiji author Kōyō Ozaki, while their first names reference characters from Japanese folklore.
