So, how was it? Have you come to understand the Yōkai a little better?

It must have been quite fun to have a chance to interact with us, the Yōkai in your heart. The next time things go awry in your life, maybe you can have a laugh and blame it on us Yōkai.

Never forget that we Yōkai exist so that you may have a peaceful world and a life full of hope.

Well, beyond this point there is a place where you can give life to the Yōkai within you.
Why not try offering a drawing of a Yōkai whom you would like to one day rid yourself of? Someday, the Yōkai artist, Chubei Yagyu, may paint a picture of it. You could search the whole world over, and never find a place as strange as this.

This is as far as I will take you.
But I’m sure we will meet again someday.
I will always be with you in your heart.
