If you notice a sudden change in the lettering, it’s because I tried using primarily Photoshop for this one -w-

The Leg-Selling Hag

The third urban legend! A humble peddler of spare limbs, the Leg-Selling Hag is a fairly well known legend. When she asks “do you need a leg?”, saying either yes or no will damn you in some way. Answering “yes” will give you extra legs, while answering “no” will cause her to take the ones you already have, cutting them off with her scythe (how else do you think she gets that big stock?). The safest answer is to direct her to someone else, who she will find and pose the same question to. Theoretically, it’s possible to skirt the consequences if you have multiple people agree to say “I don’t know, ask X” in a loop. Almost sounds like something from one of my shows… There’s apparently multiple variants of the leg-selling hag, one who sells arms, fingers, eyes, or any other body parts you can think of.

This arc doesn’t revolve around trying to avoid the legend though, Kaiki goes straight for it. He’s a little weirdo. Let’s see how that goes for him!

Fun fact: Rogie uses the personal pronoun あっし (asshi) here, a little pun on the fact that he sells θΆ³ (ashi).

From here on we’ll be translating an arc at time, releasing it once everything’s done. Unsure if we’ll still release those one chapter at a time, or all together.

Kaijin Answer

The second urban legend, Tamura-sensei has opted to change their name to Kaibutsu Answer. They’re a mysterious being who will correctly answer any question they’re asked. But be careful; if you answer the question they pose to you wrong, you might find yourself without an arm or a leg…
There doesn’t exist much English information about this legend, the only intel I found being from this WordPress post advertising a podcast called Toshiden.

One-Man Hide and Seek

The first urban legend. A ritual that involves contacting the spirits by allowing them to possess the body of a doll in a game of hide-and-seek. You can read how to play it here. They didn’t stay completely accurate to the legend, I imagine because Tamura-sensei doesn’t want to inspire kids to go around engaging in real occult rituals. There’s also a Shuuen no Shiori song about it, which is a Vocaloid series with a theme on urban legends, if you’re interested in the motif.
