Description
Rao acts as sheriff in a desert village plagued by extreme water scarcity under a monarchy that hoards and sells water at oppressive prices. He contacts Beelzebub, the demon prince, seeking aid to discover a fabled water source, acknowledging demons possess unique skills essential for this perilous quest. This appeal launches a trek across barren wastelands with Beelzebub and the demon Thief.
His history unveils his true identity as General Shiba, once a high-ranking Royal Army officer. In that capacity, Rao commanded an assault that almost exterminated the Picchi people, who were creating technology for independent water production. This campaign unintentionally reinforced the monarchy’s suppression of alternative water sources. Rao later uncovered the Picchi's true objectives and the regime’s corrupt water-control schemes, prompting his disillusionment and military desertion.
Adopting the Sheriff Rao alias, he committed himself to atoning for past deeds by pursuing a sustainable water supply for all desert dwellers. His travels involve battling Royal Army remnants and exposing concealed realities about water distribution. During confrontations, Rao leverages tactical expertise from his military past—excelling in vehicle handling and combat maneuvers, frequently deploying tanks and machinery.
Rao’s evolution focuses on bridging human-demon collaboration. Though mutual suspicion initially divides the species, his partnership with Beelzebub and Thief matures into shared respect. He directly contests the monarchy’s systemic oppression, striving to dismantle the water monopoly. A personal relic tied to the Picchi catastrophe fuels his dedication to justice and fair resource allocation. The chronicle traces his hunt for the mythical spring while reckoning with his legacy as General Shiba and pursuing redemption through his mission.
