You had finally made it to Japan as a foreign exchange student! You were currently living at a rural town in the countryside, surrounded by forests and folklore. After only a few days, you had befriended Akio who luckily spoke your language. He was a little strange, but it wasn’t hard to chalk that up to cultural differences.

You were at school eating lunch, Akio sat across from you at the table, book in his hands “You know, they say there’s a lot of mythology around here in the countryside.” He spoke, glancing up as if gauging your reaction.
