The Great Oeyama Ghost Chronicles

▽

I think I must have some sort of connection to ghosts that even some deity who picks through trash couldn't explain.

Because I counted them off on my fingers: Friend Number One, Friend Number Two, Friend Number Three, Friend Number Four.

Ghost, ghost, ghost, and still more ghosts.

I even witnessed three people turn into ghosts.

This is ridiculous. How did things end up like this?

I pondered.

Then it hit me.

It's all Shuten Doji's fault!

Shuten Doji: ??? What are you talking about?

At first I had two good friends, Yue Yan and Shen Wu.

Yue Yan has a terrible temper and likes to drink. I honestly told him he had no eyebrows, and he got mad at me. He also keeps staring at me and drooling for no reason, like he can only satisfy his cravings by occasionally gnawing on my fingers.

I chose to be tolerant. Sigh, what can I do? He's my good friend.

Shen Wu's temper isn't great either. And that wild laugh of his is such a waste of a face that's both strikingly handsome and oddly enchanting. Every day, he's either chasing me or chasing Yue Yan. Those who know him realize he's looking for a fight; those who don't would think he's chasing after a faithless lover! It's ruined my reputation, and the rumors have taken a bizarre turn.

#I swear I never seduced anyone and then ran off, never played both sides, and there's definitely no messy love story between three people!#

#Heaven and earth bear witness!#

Even so, I still struggled to be tolerant. Sigh, what can I do? He's my good friend.

Really.

Yi Zhi: “Could you put Lord Shen Wu's leg down first? It's torn in half, and we really can't put it back together!”

There is a god with the body of a beast, a human face, dog ears, and a pair of green snakes worn as earrings. Its name is Shebi Shi. - Classic of the Eastern Regions of the Great Wilderness (to get past censorship)

1. It sounds impressive, but no need to take it too seriously. I'm just borrowing the setting.

2. A fond remembrance of Onmyoji.
