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."

I Loaded Kaidan Game

Kamiyagawa didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.


Given the age of the old lady who ran the inn, she must surely know about Lord Hemitrygon of Oguri Island.


The old lady counter-questioned with an expression that showed little wariness but rather puzzlement.


"Oh, it's like this," Kamiya said with a smile, reaching into his pocket and gripping the Thousand Silver Needles, "I'm a student from Kyushu University, majoring in youkai studies—that's folkloristics. I'm still learning. I came to Oguri Island to collect customs and folklore related to Lord Hemitrygon; it's my project for the semester."


The item Thousand Silver Needles had virtually no effect on ghost stories and exorcists, but it was quite useful for deceiving ordinary people.


A "lie" that is greatly at odds with the truth and completely illogical might still have a chance of being believed by ordinary people.


However, it's estimated that they would sober up before long.
