“Ooh, we’ve got candles right here! Perfect for the Hundred Tales!” said Ashido, growing excited.

Tokoyami swiveled his chair toward the group and went on.

“In this particular village, the Hundred Tales was one of the few amusements these youths had available to them. Wary of summoning a real specter, they were always sure to stop at the ninety-ninth tale. One day, however, a blond woman came to the village from the city. As a world traveler, she had heard about the Hundred Tales and was eager to join the fun, so the youths happily welcomed her to their storytelling circle that night. Not one of their tales made her cry out in fright, though. In fact, partway through, she began to grin, which only served to frighten the youths. At last, they got through ninety-nine tales and decided to stop, as always, but the visitor broke her silence and began to tell the one hundredth tale of the night. The group implored her to stop, but she did not. When her tale concluded, the final candle blew out all on its own.”

“Probably just a breeze that did it, right?” said Sero, taking a stab at a logical explanation.

“S-so? Did a ghost appear…?” asked Ashido with a terrified gulp.

“One of the youths kept a brave face and pointed out that no ghost or ghoul had emerged, but when he tried to relight the candle…the blond woman had vanished altogether. The next morning, the entire village and its police force conducted a search, but she was nowhere to be found. Perhaps she’d simply gone home, some thought, while others whispered that maybe she had been spirited away. Time passed until most had forgotten about the blond woman, but one day, one of the youths present that fateful night claimed that he had spotted the woman again. The others were convinced his eyes had deceived him, until the next day when his body was discovered, his face twisted in an expression of sheer terror at the moment of death. And wrapped around his neck? A single blond hair…”

“Yikes!” said Ashido, squirming timidly. She wrapped her own arms around one of Asui’s and took refuge behind Shoji.

“What’s up with you?” asked Kaminari.

“This position just makes me feel, I dunno, safer…?” said Ashido poking her face out from behind her large classmate.

“I get it. Shoji is big enough to feel like a protective dad or something,” agreed Asui.

“I need some protection too, in that case,” said Mineta, sensing a lucky-perv chance and scrambling toward the girls, but one of Shoji’s arms held the boy back.

“The next day,” Tokoyami went on, “another of the youths from that night turned up dead. Then another, and another, until everyone who had been present for the blond woman’s hundredth tale was no more. The rest of the village was convinced that the woman must be a soul-sucking demon of some sort.”

“Eh? Why’d they jump to the demon explanation?” asked Sero.

“Because of a certain legend in the village,” explained Tokoyami. “Long, long ago, it was said, a local couple had given birth to a daughter with blond hair.
