258 give me a ton of gold coins

Upon encountering Kisaragi Station, Kamiya suddenly understood what the breaking of the red cord on the "Traffic Safety Charm" from his home at noon meant.

"Looks like it was waiting for me here."

Thinking about it, the charms sold at that internet-famous shrine did have some effect after all.

However, the charms bought from that shrine couldn't avert disaster; at best, they served as an early warning.

The direction of the warning was also somewhat vague.

They might be somewhat useful to ordinary people, but for an exorcist like Kamiya who often wanders into extremely dangerous places, several charms wouldn't be enough to break.

They were somewhat redundant.

After wandering around Kisaragi Station, Kamiyagawa saw no trains entering the station.

He also didn't find the so-called "stranded living person."
