The following morning.
"A new day..."
Stepping out the door, Yatsugaya Miko let out a long sigh and stretched her body lazily.
The weather seemed clear today, just like her bright mood. After lowering her arms, the girl glanced around and unsurprisingly spotted a distorted shadow lingering at the street corner not far away, emanating swirling black aura.
Further afield, there were more ominous figures mingling among the crowd.
Long, snake-like necks entwining around billboards...
A tall black shadow striding between buildings like an ancient Demon God...
And a figure strangled by a rope, seemingly hanged alive on a streetlamp...
— One could basically say that evil spirits in life are far more numerous than imagined. It's quite alright if you can't see them, but if you do, you'll find the world suddenly feels crowded, humans and ghosts coexist, indistinguishable.
Quietly retracting her gaze, Yatsugaya Miko realized she hardly felt fear anymore.
