“Both of those were accidents, but the organization would have grown more condensed either way. In fact, regulating the number of people will improve the purity of our focus on a single goal. …We had become fat and bloated like Hyakki Yakou. They have 100 members at the level of leaders alone, which is just stupid. And I hear not even a third of them can even use the occult.” “I see,” said Saijou with a less than satisfied expression. She did think a problem existed as far as the percentages were concerned, but that was still 30 people who could wield the occult on a level feared as a natural disaster and with an exclusive shrine constructed toward suppressing their power. Even by the standards of their field of work, having that many of such people gathered in one group was not normal. |

“We have looked though our records of past incidents involving an Aburatori or a Package using its traits.” “Did you find anything?” “We were nearly rendered unable to check the records due to a cognitive distortion. Without our Venom Clairvoyant, we probably would not have noticed anything was wrong.” “Oh, you mean that black-haired blindfolded shrine maiden who ranks in your top five?” “The worst cognitive distortion is focused on Noukotsu Village in mid-March ten years ago. Surprisingly, there are traces indicating it is related to Jinnai Shinobu and that Zashiki Warashi.” [...] “The cognitive distortion suggests that the Aburatori has at least begun to alter the past. Even the Venom Clairvoyant is having trouble predicting how long the past will hold up.” |

“Hm? But Illness Magic, wasn’t it said you could fill half of Europe with disease if you wanted to? That seems well beyond what you can see with the naked eye.” “I had satellite support when I worked for Hyakki Yakou. I had about four hundred of those thirty-centimeter civilian satellites they make in shopping districts anywhere.” “Ugeh!? You make that sound simple, but that’s even more than America’s GPS network! If I could’ve used that, I would have noticed what was going on at Goldmine Island a hell of a lot faster!!” “That’s nothing compared to what I could do if I worked with the Venom Clairvoyant of the Top Five. But without any of that support, my abilities are limited.” |

“Then Venom Clairvoyant, lend me your eyes.” A pale red light came from the sexy Hafuri’s eyes. A moment later, the Aoandon sent her deadly claws out quickly enough to create multiple afterimages, but the two Hafuris moved together to easily dodge them. They moved at the same time, in the same direction, and with the same movements. They were entirely synchronized. “What!?” “If you wish to kill me, I recommend making more than one hundred attacks in less than two seconds. And Superhuman Trainer, lend me your knowledge.” |

One was the Venom Clairvoyant. The beautiful woman had long black hair and pale white skin. She wore a shrine maiden outfit with a thin coat held in place by a decorative clasp made of St John's wort. A red cloth was bound tightly to her face such that it covered her eyes. It was said insects would warn of coming danger and she gained a special power by raising such things inside her own body. Sticking from her sleeves were two old German handguns decorated with bells and string. She was the ultimate observation device that never hid behind cover and never looked down the sights of those guns as she danced in a circle and brought destruction to everything around her. [...] Altogether, they were Hyakki Yakou’s Top Five. If used correctly, those ultimate trump cards could each conquer one of the five continents and hold the entire world in their hands. [...] They had already taken care of everything and stood in the center of the piles of corpses. Their eyes were directed straight at the Aoandon who had bared her fangs against their master. It was not that the team the Aoandon had gathered was weak. It had been a great army with strength in both quantity and quality. It was just that the Top Five were even greater monsters who made defeating them look like plucking weeds from the ground. |

When a short burst of gunfire interfered, the Illness Magic User glared in that direction. The Illness Magic he produced had the power and accuracy to corrode the bullets into dust even as they tore through the air. Even if those bullets contained a bizarre paranormal power. As such, he was less interested in the actual gunfire than he was in who had caused it. “Nh!!” More gunfire followed. And this time, it slipped through the gaps in his mist of Illness Magic. Unlike before, he was force to hold out an arm to cover his vitals. After several dull impacts, a significant amount of blood flowed from his arm. He disintegrated the bullets inside his arm before their paranormal power could bare its fangs. The man’s expression did not change in the slightest. He simply stared at and spoke to the attacker. “What do you think you’re doing, Venom Clairvoyant?” [...] This woman was the only person with enough skill to accurately perceive the ever-flowing Illness Magic and fire through the gaps like threading a needle. |

But in the very instant before that happened… “The Three Bugs…that is, the Upper Corpse, the Middle Corpse, and the Lower Corpse. As the night of Koshin passes, travel through the barrier of Sarutahiko and report to the Heavenly Emperor. You are bugs the size of a fingertip, yet you are foreign objects which remove the lifespan of all living things. Take the form of bullets, enter the body, and steal their strength! Three Corpses!!” Gunshots rang out. Normal blades and bullets did nothing to Youkai, yet bullet holes opened in the Tsuchigumo, the Uwabami, the Gama, and Ranzono Sachi’s other soldiers, and their bodies froze up as if glue had been poured inside. The next thing the Oomukade knew, a blindfolded shrine maiden wielding two handguns stood next to him. The bells decoratively tied to the old German handguns belatedly produced a clear ring. And those bells contained the symbol of Hyakki Yakou. [...] The shrine maiden grabbed a clip of spare bullets and pushed it into the top of the fixed magazine. The bullet portion was not made of lead. Instead, it appeared to be a dried and balled up larva. [...] “Hey, so what happened to the Tsuchigumo and the others?” “Ah!? The Three Corpse bullets are meant for use against Youkai, but I can freely regulate their destructive power. That was not enough to kill them. I only put them to sleep for a bit.” “Could you stop Sachi’s rampage with those bullets?” “The Three Corpse bugs originally hid inside the human body, stealing one’s lifespan. Youkai have little concept of aging, but a normal human would be killed instantly by one of these.” |
„ |
| ~ The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village 07 - Venom Clairvoyant's bullets have supernatural power, which is triggered sortly after entering the body of the target. Once activated the bullets remove the target's lifespan, causing their death. This even works on Youkai, which are immortal and have little to no concept of lifespan. She can regulate the power of the bullets so that Youkai are merely rendered unconscious, but even when lowered a creature with a limited lifespan like a human would still be instantly killed |

“The residents of Noukotsu Village have been knocked unconscious by us in Hyakki Yakou. That was to prevent the Aoandon’s group from manipulating them with some sort of paranormal power. However, some humans surrounded by plenty of Youkai managed to remain conscious. That Jinnai Shinobu is a good example.” “Are you saying that boy did too because he was surrounded by Tsukumogami? No…” “This is not so simple. Jinnai Shinobu is simply that irregular a human, even if he is not aware of it. The boy in question passed out along with the others. However,” continued the Venom Clairvoyant. “It is said that insects warn of coming danger and I gain paranormal inspiration by raising such things in my body. Those insects can produce a high affinity for anyone’s body and input the data on any coming danger. On top of that, the human mind is easily shaken by danger signals. When used properly, those insects can act as the ultimate alarm clock.” In other words, all the proper information had been inputted into the boy’s body. In other words, that boy had woken while everyone else was passed out. |

The surrounding battles were gradually coming to an end. Most of them were ending in Hyakki Yakou’s favor. With less of a burden on the Venom Clairvoyant, she could divert more of her resources this way. In other words, the accuracy of the “eyes” borrowed by the Illness Magic User increased considerably. His glowing sword had been slicing through the countless Byouki shadows as they automatically appeared, but he started doing far more than that. |

When it came down to pure firepower, the current Hyakki Yakou was the greatest force in the nation. They had plenty of ways to wipe an entire city from the map and the Top 5 could each sink a continent if they went all out. |
„ |
| ~ The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village 08 - Narration says the Top 5 can sink a continent, likely hyperbole due to lack of feats anywhere near that level in the series, especially since the next volume says this is a rumor |
| “ |
The sexy blindfolded shrine maiden’s state would have been amusing if not for the fact that she was one of the Top 5, each of whom was rumored to be able to destroy a continent. None of the stuffed animal-like Youkai dared say anything. [...] A direct battle between the Top 5 must have been quite scary. That was hardly surprising when a bit of slapstick from them could sink an entire continent. How could anyone watch that in mild amusement? |

That Venom Clairvoyant could directly view the future and destiny, yet she had been manipulated so thoroughly. She was the top specialist who had the greatest odds of seeing through the Ver. 39’s power, so she had been taken out first and foremost. And the rails of destiny had switched over entirely seamlessly. No one knew when we had wandered onto this path. If the bomb squad with a mine detector had stepped on a landmine, what were the rest of us supposed to do? [...] The girl herself had trouble deciding what she wanted here. Imprisonment in this evil-destroying cell was a last ditch attempt to suppress the Ver. 40’s power to change the world’s destiny, but she did not even know if that was the right thing to do. There was no precedent for this. The Venom Clairvoyant, who could see into the gaps between every world regardless of causality and the timeline, had given her approval, but even she had no way of proving the accuracy of what she saw. It was possible even she was being guided and manipulated. |

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Clairvoyance: The Venom Clairvoyant uses the tales of insects warning of incoming danger by raising multiple insects inside her own body. Because of that, she has a powerful clairvoyance ability that allows her to predict the future. She can easily evade enemy attacks despite her blindness. She can also use this to predict how the enemy will try to stop or dodge her attacks to slip past their defenses. It is said that she can exterminate an entire enemy force by dancing in a circle and accurately shooting her guns while never looking down their sights or hiding behind cover. Additionally, her clairvoyance allows her to perceive changes in history and destiny, as she could warn Hyakki Yakou that the Aburatori was changing the timeline by interfering with the past, and she was one of the first targets of the Bloodstained Zashiki Warashi's destiny interference. Her insects can produce high affinity with anyone's body and can input the data of any incoming danger into a human's mind, which allows her to send them outside her body to automatically wake up anyone sleeping or unconscious like the ultimate alarm clock. She can also lend her precognition ability to her allies. Their eyes will shine will a pale red light while they are receiving the Venom Clairvoyant's support. However, the more she spreads her power the less accurate it'll be.
- Three Corpse Bullets: The Venom Clairvoyant's magazines don't contain bullets, they hold dried and balled up larva to use the story of the Three Corpses, three supernatural parasite bugs the size of a fingertip that hide on a human's body and steal their lifespan. Venom Clairvoyant can freely regulate their destructive power so that instead of killing Youkai and other supernatural creatures, the "bug bullets" will simply put them to sleep for an indefinite amount of time by stealing their strength. However, this is only achievable because Youkai and other supernatural creatures have an immortal body and no concept of lifespan and little concept of aging. If used on a human (and presumably any other living creature with a limited lifespan) they will be instantly killed by the bullets no matter how much she drops their power. There seems to be a small lag between the bullets entering the enemy's body and the supernatural power they hold being applied, which means that someone who knows how they work can avoid death by destroying the bullets before they activate.
