Profile
"Every~body's line of sight, itadakimahiru!"

- Mahiru Later, this call is more often used:"煎肥牛～煮肥牛～还有你们的 真～肥～牛～"

- Mahiru's call and response (This is a pun because Mahiru's name sound similar to 蒸肥牛 steamed beef) On a certain day, an accident awakened a powerful bloodline that had been deeply concealed for more than a decade, but so far the little demon who squats at home hasn't been accepted among the capable family members. She likes playing pranks very much, frequently taking advantage of other people during the time when they are intoxicated by her singing voice to wilfully tease them. However, the majority of the time she still counts as a clever and naughty demon. She hopes that she can capture more satisfactory relatives through livestreaming, so as to nourish her increasingly barren magic. 于某日意外觉醒了深藏十数年的强大血统，但至今为止还没有收下得力眷属的家里蹲小恶魔. 非常喜欢恶作剧，经常趁着他人沉醉于自己歌声中的时候肆意捉弄对方，不过大多数时候还算个古灵精怪的本分恶魔. 希望能够通过直播来抓获更加称心如意的眷属，以此来滋养自己日渐贫瘠的魔力.
