The scenario is misguided in a number of ways. Firstly it is false to say "mamono can't kill anyone." Most any of them will kill to protect themselves or those they love, though some races (like hellhounds) may resort to killing for those reasons more readily.

Second, the idea a mantis would have to kill humans or monsters for survival as a job/contract is ridiculous. Mantises live off the land, have few needs beyond food/water, don't care much for luxuries (beyond what makes their sex lives better or their husbands happier), and are likely less interested in money than even the low interest most monsters have in it.

For similar reasons, its unlikely you would find many such nature-lovers in a town, let alone a 100 of them.
