Feats/Statements

As soon as the two detectives left the luxury vehicle, someone spoke. “That was a quick decision.” This new voice seemed to slip into the vehicle. A slender young man was sitting inside. Not only had the detectives not noticed he had been sitting there the entire time, but the middle-aged man who had known he was there had completely forgotten until just now. He was a fortuneteller hired by the Comfort Association and he was the one who had actually put together this Package. |

The middle-aged man frowned at being interrupted. But he realized he could not move his face. His body would not even make the slightest of movements. While in the awkward pose of grabbing the wine bottle, he desperately tried to move his eyes that could not even blink, but his body would not even accept that command. He felt the pain of his eyeballs gradually drying. “What…did you…do?” His mouth could move, but he did not realize this was because the man behind it was toying with him. At some point a thin tablet had appeared in the young man’s hands. “Have you gone senile? Why would you have someone outside the organization assemble the human control Package to manage and manipulate every single member of your large criminal organization? Countless backdoors can be placed in something like that.” At least three handguns were hidden within arm’s reach, but he could not even move his fingertips. [...] The young man opened a free website creating app on the tablet. He could lay out the text and images to freely create his own online news articles. Yes. The Aburatori they had used was a rare sort of Youkai that had actually been mentioned in newspapers during the Meiji period. This young man had used that fact to control the Youkai by writing fictional newspaper articles on a closed network that no one else could read. [...] “If I ran around assassinating people with a gun, killing one or two would be the most I could manage. That would end with those who truly set up that killing realizing what I was after. And even if I crushed the nearby Japanese branch, I would only be damaging a single leg of a global criminal network. So I have been waiting for the moment when I could grasp it all and crush it. I have been waiting for so very, very long.” “Fortune…tellerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!” The man shouted and shouted and shouted. But it was already over. There was no way to overturn it now. “I have only given a single instruction. Every member around the world will turn themselves into the police and answer honestly when asked what they have done wrong. I doubt anyone will be saved by a malfunction due to that conflict with the other system. I will not even allow you to die. You will get a front row seat to watch your empire crumble before your eyes.” |

He removed the gun from his temple and pressed it against the center of the Aoandon’s chest. “Shut up.” “But you can’t deny it.” The Aoandon was still smiling. Her expression seemed to predict the destruction of whatever paranormal power might be contained within the bullet. |

But as we were speaking, something else suddenly arrived on the scene. The murderous intent was so overwhelming that both the Hishigami woman and I nearly stopped breathing. “Wha-…kh…ah!?” I sent Illness Magic throughout my body to consciously control the movements of my organs and blood, but even then, I had my hands full simply keeping myself from blacking out. The Hishigami woman was…not going to be any help. She had supposedly modified the structure of her human body itself, but she also had her hands full remaining conscious. We were in no state to fight. Needless to say, the Sunekosuri had passed out cold. Meanwhile, “he” arrived. |

Finally, he seemed to notice a change in the formation of flying wings in the sky. The escort fighters had swiftly changed positions. But it was too late. If he had noticed the change, he needed to leave us and escape at full speed. Saiki Kazu looked up in the blue sky and formed a gun with his hand. He said “bang” and pretended to fire. That was all he did. The flying wing carrying Hyakki Yakou’s highest leader was destroyed. I was caught completely off guard. I briefly forget all else due to the burning tension and impatience. Meanwhile, countless fragments rained down on the rural city. The great height of ten thousand meters seemed to demonstrate that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. |

His name was Saiki Kazu. He was a member of her group. This skilled user of the supernatural arts had misused an Aburatori Package and singlehandedly destroyed a large criminal organization with an international reach. “The assembly is complete. We have no reason to stay here.” “You did? Really??? But I’m still feeling that sharp pain.” “I only use Youkai. I don’t change their fundamental nature.” [...] “Let me tell you something neat.” The Aoandon giggled and continued. “I bring together and exist beyond one hundred fears. By gathering all of those scary stories, I can combine different parts to reproduce paranormal powers that I didn’t originally have.” [...] “Do these combinations give me 100 x 100? Or is it 100 to the 100th power? No, it’s like paint. The materials are limited, but the possibilities are limitless. Saiki Kazu’s paranormal techniques and Matsukai Hiroshi’s search program really are the best. You could even call them art. Thanks to that, I have surpassed the concept of numbers.” |

Somewhere in Noukotsu Village, a young man in a dark suit spoke. “Paranormal being imported by the Southern Barbarians, change your colors and grow scarlet. I desire a blood-red paranormal power, so take on that form.” The word syncretism was most often used when referring to Japan’s form of Buddhism, but Buddhism had originated in India and crossed through China and Korea before arriving in Japan. And during that process, the names, forms, and roles of the buddhas and deities had changed. The term Akuma was originally a Buddhist term. It was only later used to refer to Western devils and demons because the Japanese language lacked a more appropriate word. So… “Tselika Wien Alpha Chelydia Lumidrier. Appear in the form we desire to grant what we desire to the extent we desire. …Appear, Tsuerika Nyorai. It is time to begin your work.” An unimaginably sinister whirlwind blew through. This paranormal being had been intentionally twisted. This threat had been tuned to match someone’s needs. [...] Standing in the center of a tornado-like whirlwind was a white woman with a glamorous body and sky blue ribbons at the end of her long blonde hair. It was the Australian witch named Marguerite Steinhols. That assassin had once used the Furutsubaki (Small) in an attempt to get her hands on the Succubus. But… “That’s…not her.” The Succubus sounded stunned. For one, the woman’s clothing was different. This material kept all living creatures away with the hardness of rough gray concrete and yet it somewhat resembled reptilian scales. And that material was wrapped tightly around the beautiful woman’s seductive outline as if eating into her. It mercilessly showed off her cleavage, navel, and thighs, but that almost looked like a way of increasing the number of ports from which to eject her blasphemously ominous power. And she was the same as the Succubus, which meant… “That might be her body, but it isn’t her soul. Damn her! Did she borrow Marguerite’s body to appear in this world!?” A moment later, two twisted horns burst from Margeurite’s forehead and flowed backwards. Bat-like wings came from her back and a long, thick tail came from near her butt. She became the stereotypical image of a demon seen in Western religious art and video games. |

| “ |
Before Saiki Kazu could react, Tselika breathed a sweet breath from between her seductive lips. That was all she did. “To be honest, you are an eyesore. Perhaps I should reheat that cooled mind of yours.” A great sound rang out. It was the sound of Saiki Kazu using every last ounce of strength in his left hand to restrain his right hand which attempted to point two fingers at his temple like a gun. “My deadly sins cause people to betray even god, so having them betray themselves could not be simpler. For one thing, the violence and fear you wield are nothing but tools to produce but one of the emotions that lead people to betray god. You are essentially showing off your brand-new chess set without even understanding the rules, so do you really think you could outdo a master chess player such as myself?” |

The young man in a dark suit…was his name Saiki Kazu? Anyway, he had tried to summon Tselika and had in fact succeeded, but that Jinnai Shinobu had immediately defeated the archdemon. The witch named Marguerite Steinhols lay naked (Wow!) at his feet and he was glaring at me from over ten meters away. He spoke while barely moving his lips, almost like a ventriloquist. “When is your soul from?” |
„ |
| ~ The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village 07 - Immediately realizes that Shinobu has time traveled due to him instantly defeating Tselika |
| “ |
“I want to know what happened to the Aoandon…to that baby. I don’t have time to deal with you. Get lost if you know what’s good for you.” “I see.” Saiki Kazu silently turned his head and stared coldly into the distance. He was most likely looking to the small woods where the Aoandon and Hyakki Yakou’s Hafuri were confronting each other. “The equation has fallen apart. …No, it may be more accurate to say the Aoandon’s structure has changed. Perhaps I should say the software remains unchanged, the base OS has been forcibly updated so many times that the software is no longer compatible.” “…” “Did you change the number of stories forming her? Not bad for such a short time. This may be an abnormality created by the constant contact with Youkai in an Intellectual Village.” |
„ |
| ~ The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village 07 - Just by looking at the Aoandon from afar Saiki Kazu was able to tell what had happened to her |
| “ |
A black wind raged. It took me far too long to realize Saiki Kazu, that ventriloquist-like man in a dark suit, had physically “moved”. His claws slashed through the air right in front of me and tore the chest of my jacket open. It wasn’t my own power that saved me. First, the Succubus had grabbed my shoulders and leaped backwards with all her might. Second, Marguerite must have felt a debt for being freed from Tselika because she reached out a hand from the ground and did something. That was a demon and a witch. With the help of two Western paranormal beings, I only managed to avoid the attack by a few millimeters. [...] “One: Saiki Kazu can move too quickly to be seen.” The black wind roared again. This time, the Succubus moved behind me. She passed her arms below mine and placed her fingers on my chest to hold me in place like a roller coaster’s safety bar and then she flew high into the sky. “Nhh!” “Kyah!?” Just before we took flight, I barely managed to grab the Umbrella and Lantern. By the time I heard the Succubus’s flapping wings, we were already twenty meters from the ground. |

“Two: Saiki Kazu can crush his target remotely.” The black wind came to a stop and became the dark suited figure once more. The stopped man formed a gun with his right hand, like a child playing around, and aimed at the orange-dyed sky. In other words, at us. First, the Succubus and I were knocked to the side. Next, the region of space we had just been floating in was entirely compressed. A fist-sized glowing orange ball floated at the center. As if it had suddenly remembered gravity existed, it fell straight down. Once I realized it was the air’s dust and dirt after it was compressed and heated, a chill ran down my spine. If we had been caught in that, we would have been immediately turned to mincemeat! |

“Three: Saiki Kazu can predict his target’s future position.” This time, I thought my vision had gone dark, like the power had gone out. The dark suited man made only a small movement. While standing in the dry paddy field with his gun gesture aimed upwards, he simply shook that hand a little. However, it was a decisive movement. I could tell he was accurately pursuing the Succubus and me through the orange sky. |

| “ |
At the same time, a dull sound burst from the center of Saiki Kazu’s chest. A woman’s arm had forcefully pierced through his back and out the front. I only knew one person who could do that. With that woman, I could believe the idea that simply meeting her was deadly. “Hishigami…Mai…?” “I only need to know you’re relying in some kind of paranormal power. I can kill all such things, so there’s no need to analyze every little thing like my sister and her murder mysteries.” Even then, the dark suited man’s expression remained unchanged. Except, that is, for the single trail of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. And… “Four.” Unbelievably, he continued speaking. His heart had been torn out, so he should have been done for as a living creature. “The concept of numbers does not apply to Saiki Kazu.” I heard a quiet footstep. I heard more and more of them until they covered the entire area around us. Because the Succubus and I were flying through the orange sky, we noticed the bizarre scene before anyone else. It was a group of identical men in dark suits. At least one hundred copies of the unemotional man named Saiki Kazu stood across the paddy fields. [...] Saiki Kazu watched Hishigami Mai racing across the dry paddy field. The woman had used Jinnai Shinobu’s neutralization of fear to kill one of him and that told her he was not an insurmountable obstacle. That may have been the only reason she could continue moving without being crushed by the intense killer intent. Still, he did not view this as much of a problem. There was no concept of a “center” to his hundred or more bodies, so their senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch were all gathered together. He was aware of all those many senses, just like an insect’s brain processed the images from its compound eyes, but he could also shift his consciousness from one body to another. The sensation may have been something no human with just the one point of view could understand. The closest comparison was to call it a system rather than a living being. It may have been like sitting in a distant security room filled with monitors and switching between countless cameras to search for and follow one’s target. [...] His right hands formed guns. More than one hundred index fingers aimed at Hishigami Mai. With Mai at the center, they seemed to form a giant flower or firework. A single shot had the power of an antiaircraft gun capable of shooting down a strategic bomber ten thousand meters away, but over one hundred of them turned to explosive pressure and shot toward her from every direction. In addition to the numbers and strength, Saiki Kazu had the power to predict the future. There was not even the slightest chance he would miss. [...] A portion of the scenery distorted and the very space around her was compressed. [...] Given the situation, not even flying guaranteed our safety. In fact, the open sky made it easier for him to shoot us with his projectile weapon. However, randomly descending to the earth would only get us attacked by the countless Saiki Kazus. |

“Five: When cornered, Saiki Kazu explodes, spreading a curse.” “Shit!!!???” Mai swung her right arm as hard as she could. The “shield” slipped off of her arm and flew into a group of several Saiki Kazus like she was bowling. The slender body swelled bloodily out around the chest wound and burst like a water balloon. A red mist spread in every direction, corroding all of the bowling pins. (I can’t use him as a shield anymore. I guess I’ll have to reduce his numbers by inducing chains of explosions like a puzzle game. If I time the explosions right, I might be able to alter the course of his attacks. But…) “Six.” “Six.” “Six.” “Dammit! Are you really drawing out the power of a Youkai!? You aren’t just making it up as you go along, are you!?” Those words seemed to give Mai a sudden realization. (Wait…) “Is that it? I can’t tell what Youkai you’re using no matter how much I think about it. Everything you’re doing looks like you’re adding in whatever powers would be convenient at the moment. What you’re doing is fundamentally different from all the Packages and other techniques of our small field. What you’re doing is-…!!” “Saiki Kazu is a symbol of impurity, so merely touching him will curse you.” “Saiki Kazu is a symbol of impurity, so merely touching him will curse you.” “Saiki Kazu is a symbol of impurity, so merely touching him will curse you.” All direct attacks were off limits. |

“Unlike a normal Package, Saiki Kazu does not seem to be borrowing an existing Youkai’s power or traits.” “Is he using his own stress and mentality like the Illness Magic?” “No. He has crossed the borderline of humanity to become an inhuman paranormal being.” [...] “In other words, rather than using an existing Youkai, he is creating a brand new Youkai. You could say he is using his own flesh and blood to build up a Youkai we could call S@ik1 KAzU.” [...] “That would explain it,” I somehow managed to say. “That would be why I couldn’t find an appropriate Youkai no matter how much I thought. Of course I couldn’t. There wasn’t anything to find in a Youkai encyclopedia or an occult-obsessed website. He was creating it himself!!” “Akki Rasetsu was aiming for something similar: transforming the human body into a Youkai. But they were trying to fuse with an existing Youkai. They were never arrogant enough to try to create a brand new one.” “Hmm.” The Aoandon sounded indifferent. “But I’m a blue Oni that a Youkai illustrator in the Edo period made up to represent all the mysterious phenomena said to appear at the end of the Hyakumonogatari. There was no academic value to the claim, but that illustrator was simply too well-known. The idea spread and it became known as the truth. That illustrator also invented quite a few other Youkai. It’s said over a third of his famous illustrated Youkai scrolls were his own inventions.” Coming up with a Youkai, creating it, and mixing it with others. The Dodomeki, the Hossumori, the Mokugyo Daruma, the Gotoku Neko, and the Aoandon. There were a surprising number of Youkai that became known because that illustrator had invented them. …In more recent years, similar legends were told about an extremely famous Youkai manga author. Of course, since Youkai illustrations were often used as satire of society or the current age, no one saw any problem mixing in invented examples and it was often seen as a type of humor. But… “Are you saying Saiki Kazu can invent Youkai on that same level? This is more than putting a made-up Youkai in an encyclopedia. He’s successfully getting everyone to accept them to the point that they have the same presence as a mountain god or sea god that’s been worshipped for millennia. He can do all that artificially!?” If so, he was the cruelest creator. The Aoandon had used unfair powers in her direct confrontations, but she had only been creating infinite phenomena from a finite stock. This man was different. As a creator, he could create whatever he lacked whenever he needed it. There was no trick here. He was an infinite being from the beginning. The Aoandon was the ultimate system, but she had been abandoned after release. Saiki Kazu was a system receiving update files every second. Did he even have a weakness? Even if he did, wouldn’t he have already patched it? “Mai-san is doing everything she can to disturb him, but she is being pushed back because he can overwrite his powers and traits however he likes. She says there will be no stopping him once he crosses a certain line.” |

Two versions of the same person existed in the same space. One of them died and became a ghost-like external storage. It was not either version of the person that mattered. It was the invisible thread connecting them. If it was carelessly messed with, couldn’t even the most powerful foe be torn apart from within? And we could reach that position with a time paradox. First, we had to use time travel to make the same individual exist twice in a single world. If we then defeated one of them, we had a chance of damaging Youkai S@ik1 KAzU who would not budge no matter how much we attacked him from without. [...] That meant we had the time travel and the decoy copy forcibly made to match Saiki Kazu. We only had to send the fake copy (which was technically something like a straw doll used to curse someone) into a different timeline a few seconds different from our own using the time travel Package. If we then destroyed that copy, the perfect Saiki Kazu would begin to access something. If we interfered, severed the thread between them, and filled it with noise, his mind would overload. Even if that did not defeat him, Hyakki Yakou’s deadly techniques could likely defeat him while he was standing defenselessly in front of them. [...] “Send it five seconds into the future. If that makes the world or destiny or whatever think there are two Saiki Kazu’s in the same timeline, we’ve won. Once we destroy the fake doll, the residual data with no place in this world or the next will become something like external storage and begin linking to Perfect Youkai S@ik1 KAzU. That will be filled with noise, which will give us a chance to win!!” [...] Saiki Kazu’s heart felt a shock like a stake had been driven through it. He supposedly existed as dozens of bodies at once, but every last one of them tilted its head. As if synchronized ahead of time, the same change came over them all. And that way of thinking brought a certain idea to mind. “Synchronized? It can’t be…” “Synchronized? It can’t be…” “Synchronized? It can’t be…” The situation accelerated. A false silver sandstorm filled all of his senses. A headache and nausea overwhelmed all else. His sense of up or down was lost and his mind was too disturbed to even try to calm his confusion. [...] A moment later, Hishigami Mai’s right arm pierced through the center of his chest. The destruction of the one equally affected every single Saiki Kazu. Just like hammering a nail into a straw doll, an identical hole appeared in all of their chests. Instead of damaging the hardware, this was more like the software damage of throwing a laptop on the floor to destroy the data inside. The damaged data spread through the network known as Youkai S@ik1 KAzU, spreading fatal errors all the while. “Any last words?” He did not answer Mai’s question. He silently dissolved into something like silver sand which vanished into the wind. The phenomenon seemed to contain the message that someone who had abandoned their humanity was not allowed a human death. |

While he waited for the blended coffee to fill the paper cup, he heard a footstep directly behind him. He casually turned around, but then his eyes opened as wide as possible. An assassin of around ten stood there. No one had believed him when he had told the police that this was the true killer of a certain old detective. More than a decade had passed since then, so that assassin could not possibly still look like that. Sotobori knew that mentally, but something else refused to let him reject the idea. He knew for certain that this was him. “…ared…” The boy’s small lips moved ever so slightly. At first, Sotobori could not tell what he was saying and was not even sure this was something capable of producing a voice, but the voice gradually reached his ears. “…Be prepared…” “…” “Be prepared. Youkai S@ik1 KAzU will return once you have forgotten. That is how he assembled his own body. So always be prepared in every way you can think of. That is the one and only way of keeping Youkai S@ik1 KAzU sealed away.” That was the limit. The assassin of about ten vanished like a crumbling sand sculpture. Someone who existed all across Japan, ignoring the concept of an alibi, may have just vanished all at once.
His story ends here. But if arrogance should ever again run rampant in this world, that monster would reappear as many times as necessary. |

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Killing Intent Projection: Saiki Kazu is able to project a murderous intent so powerful even experienced fighters and specialists like Hishigami Mai and the Illness Magic User are left paralyzed and have difficulty breathing. The two specialists didn't black out only due to their respective supernatural powers. This aura affects even Youkai like the Sunekosuri.
- Summoning: Saiki Kazu is capable of summoning the demon Tselika.
- S@ik1 KAzU: Unlike normal specialists that use the traits of an existing Youkai to build up a Package, Saiki Kazu can use his own flesh and blood to create a brand new Youkai from scratch, similar as to how in the past some Youkai that had been invented by a well-known illustrator and put into a Youkai encyclopedia actually began existing in the real world. Because he is the one creating the Youkai, he can add whatever abilities and traits he likes to himself, endlessly building up his strengths and patching his weaknesses at will. Unlike the Aoandon's Package that uses a trick to create infinite phenomena from a finite stock, Saiki Kazu's options are infinite from the beginning. If the Aoandon with her Package is the ultimate system that was abandoned after release, Saiki Kazu is a system receiving update files every second. These are the traits Saiki Kazu added to himself before being defeated:
- Black Wind: "One: Saiki Kazu can move too quickly to be seen." With this trait, Saiki Kazu gains monstrous speed by transforming into a black wind to assault the enemy. Once he comes to a stop he returns to his normal form.
- Space Compression: "Two: Saiki Kazu can crush his target remotely." By forming a gun in his hand and pretending to shoot, Saiki Kazu can cause a small region of space to be entirely compressed to less than a fist in size. This creates a fist-sized glowing orange ball floating at the center of the space as the air’s dust and dirt are compressed and heated. The ball will quickly fall the ground as gravity starts to affect it. This ability has a range of at least ten kilometers, as it was used by him to shoot down Hyakki Yakou's aircraft.
- Precognition: "Three: Saiki Kazu can predict his target’s future position." This ability allows Kazu to predict his target's future position to aim his attacks even more accurately.
- Duplication: "Four: The concept of numbers does not apply to Saiki Kazu." This ability allows Kazu to instantly create over a hundred duplicates of himself. All duplicates are the real Saiki Kazu, and he can't be killed unless all of them are destroyed at the same time.
- Curse Explosion: "Five: When cornered, Saiki Kazu explodes, spreading a curse." This ability allows Saiki Kazu to explode. His body will swell and burst like a water balloon, spreading a red mist that corrodes everything it touches.
- Cursed Touch: "Six: Saiki Kazu is a symbol of impurity, so merely touching him will curse you." This ability curses anyone that touches Saiki Kazu's body, preventing melee attacks.
- Immortality: All Youkai have an immortal body since they don't have a concept of lifespan. Once they reach adulthood they stop aging completely, which makes it basically impossible to determine an adult Youkai's age from their physical appearance, as they could be several centuries old but still look young.
- Invulnerability: Youkai are immune to conventional weapons and physical damage that follows the laws of physics. They are also immune to natural poisons and to things like radiation. Even weak harmless Youkai won't die if nuclear missiles were to pour down like rain. Additionally, Youkai have some resistance to interference from history and destiny.
