Thirteen Modesty

After arriving in Japan, I became a high school student named Kamiyagawa. Looking around—
Hanako crouched in the bathroom, waiting for someone to knock on the door; the Split-Mouth Woman wandered the streets with scissors in hand; Miss Mary's deathly calls echoed incessantly; the wails and barks in Inunaki Village never ceased; the Ubume searched for her long-dead child; the Aoandon smiled, enticing passersby to play with the lanterns of a hundred demons…
In a crumbling world rampant with sinister tales and malevolent spirits, Kamiyagawa set a small goal for himself:
"Defeat all the demons and monsters, and become the supreme ruler of ghosts and deities."

On Saturday early morning, the sky was a dark shade of azure, and the air was chilly.


The clerk, who had been up all night, had bleary eyes.


There Kamiyagawa bought a cup of instant coffee, waiting for flight check-in.


Occasional announcements could be heard in the brightly-lit terminal outside, where the polished floor tiles reflected the hurried figures of travelers dragging their luggage.


While waiting, Kamiyagawa received a message from "Above Purple."


This boss's recent sleeping pattern was quite erratic, sending and replying to messages at completely unpredictable times—


[Above Purple]: "Hey hey! I've almost wrapped up things on my end, what about you? How did that big thing you mentioned before go?"


[Honest Bumpkin]: "It was a bit of a roundabout process, but the outcome was good. In short, mission accomplished."


[Above Purple]: "Then congratulations to you."
