Normal humans can’t see the Grim Comet and that’s why they are calm. However, Osamu Kirin, Moroha, Towa and Setsuna can see the approaching comet.

The official promo trailer of "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" Episode 44 shows Osamu introducing himself as a mild-mannered middle-school teacher.

However, in the present day, he is also living the secret life of a demon slayer. He is the former right arm of the Beast King of Japan, Kirinmaru. And he is into killing demons when he is not teaching little ones.
