Author: Schrödinger



Story length: Not completed



Update : 5/11/2024



Verdict:



A nameless, wandering man with a large wooden box calls himself "Medicine Seller". He traveled everywhere, no one knew his origin, or who he was.



Mononoke, is what he sought out and exorcised. It's something caused by people's negative emotions and he will be the one to "cure" it.



The Medicine Seller always proceeds in the same manner, using his knowledge of the supernatural to fend off the Mononoke until he can learn the spirit's Form (形 katachi), Truth (誠 makoto), and Regret (理り kotowari).



Only then can he unsheathe his sword and exorcise the demon.



He never knows....



A mysterious woman from nowhere, blatantly waltz into his "journey"



She calls herself "Uranaishi" and is a strange "person"



It is rumored that "Uranaishi" is a good person, helping others change their fate. There are also rumors that "Uranaishi" is an evil spirit that spreads "karma" to people. Others rumored that "Uranaishi" was not someone from somewhere, just an ordinary fortuneteller.



But.... Is that the "truth"....?



This is a story about the journey of a "Mononoke" wandering around to find her pleasure, while exorcises Mononoke who "tainted" the human world.
