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."

Kamiyagawa disembarked from the ferry, his complexion not very good after the hours of rough sea voyage.


Standing on the shore, he took several deep breaths using 'Breath of the Ominous Ox,' the fresh air tinged with the smell of fish filling his lungs and slowly reviving his strength.


"It's truly torturous. Even though Oguri Island looks close from the sea, it took several hours by boat to get here," he said.


It's the nature of boat travel to seem close to the destination visually, but to take a long time in reality.


The ferry that Kamiyagawa took in the afternoon had finally arrived at Oguri Island, and by then it was already dusk.


The sun had sunk to half its size at the distant horizon, casting a dim yellow glow over the far-off sea surface.


A few unidentified seabirds, backlit by the dying light, glimmered slightly through the gaps in their feathers, squawking as they dove into the island's forests, disappearing from view.
