Plot Line

While some of us think there are demonic forces, others don't. And are they always terrible, if they exist at all?
Nida, a very naive young woman who worked as a salesgirl at a shoe store and was often harassed by her coworkers, lived alone in an apartment in England in 1979.
After spilling her blood on a talisman she had found in a store, she encountered a demon who persuaded her to perform an odd deed that would avert impending doom. The humorous quality of that adorable demon is what makes this episode so enjoyable.

Will she be able to finish the mission to rescue the planet, or will her innocence stand in the way of it?
