Newbie:
Now then, I will introduce the next division.
At the Social Division, we research ways to overcome the disparities and clashes of values that humanity causes every day.
The first Yōkai I’ll introduce is “Gaihan-boshi.”

Gaihan-boshi:
I’m a Tsukumogami, same as Kasa-obake, and I’m obsessed with high heels! I was born from women aspiring to cuteness and the pain from wearing high heels. These things nourish me.

Newbie:
Desire and pain, huh…I also wear high heels sometimes because they’re cute, but I can’t run in them so if something happened, I’d be stuck. It’s fine to wear them if you like, but we may need to rethink the way society imposes it upon us. How do you think we might create rules that make life easier for everyone?

Voom voom.. (Sound of a large house moving)

Newbie:
Eeek! It’s the “House of the Yōkai!” Frog Yōkai live together here, but how do they manage the rules of cohabitation?

The Frogs of the Yōkai House:
House rules, eh? Yōkai all look different and eat different things, so we made a baseline rule of mutually contributing to each other’s needs. The rest is freely helping each other to improve on our strengths!

Newbie:
Mm-hm, I see. That doesn’t have to just apply to Yōkai, but also to humans! Next is the… “Oni-tamago.” He’s very nutritious, and even if he’s eaten, he’ll stay with that human throughout their life, then be reborn. That ability is why we’re researching nutrition here.

Oni-tamago:
When people eat us, we stay with them through their lives, living with them, traveling with them…You hear that, Newbie? It’s okay to eat me! How ‘bout a little bite?

Newbie:
E-eeek! N-no thank you…! I’m a bit f-full right now! N-next is “Usotsuki-otoshi”! Like her name implies, w-when she appears in front of a liar, she’ll p-plead with them with her large eyes as they w-well up, then the liar confesses right on the spot, r-right?!

Usotsuki-otoshi:
*Whimper*

Oni-tamago:
Hey, Usotsuki-otoshi’s crying! You hidin’ something from us, newbie?!

Newbie:
S-s-sorryyyyyy! It’s just that… couldn’t eat you ‘cause…your face is scaryyyy!

Oni-tamago:
O-owch…
