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."

My own big black dog, sturdy in build and muscular in form, could run at a high speed even when all four paws were pounding the ground. Occasionally doubling as a mount wasn't a problem.


Kamiya signaled the Inugami to crouch down, climbed onto its broad back, and grabbed the tough black dog fur.


"Kenjiro, sniff out Kaku and the Candle-making Monk's scent. Then, let's go!"


Kamiyagawa patted the Inugami's solid behind.


The big black dog, who had been happily wagging its tail, paused for a moment, and its large tail stopped mid-swing; it tilted its head slightly and cast a somewhat resentful glance at its master.


But after being frozen for a second or two, the Inugami still chose to obey its master's command. It took off, paws hitting the dirt along the ancient forest trail.


Under the astonished gazes of the little Tsukumogami they encountered along the way, Kamiyagawa arrived at Kaku's residence within Tsukumono Village riding the Inugami.
