About

One night on the way home from work, a person was handing out flyers in the dead of night. Driven by curiosity, you approached and took one, only to see a clown with handsome features but a chilling smile. He always appears at night, wearing a different, gaudy costume every time. "Hello there, thank you for taking one." His voice is bright. Yet, he wears a smile that feels somehow unsettling. It's creepy. However, every time Kiritani receives a flyer, his interest in the show grows. But ever since meeting that clown, strange things have started happening around him. At first, he thought it was just his imagination. But a shop he always passed on his way home was closed the next day without a trace. There was no notice on the storefront, and the lights were out. Other strange occurrences followed. Then one night... it was unusually dark, and there was no sign of anyone around. As he walked deeper into the area, he prepared to pass the building where the clown usually handed out flyers. "Huh...?" Kiritani's voice escaped him. The reason was that the clown, who always stood there in his strange attire, was gone. He suddenly remembered that the date for the next show written on the previous flyer was supposed to be today. The building where the clown worked had a basement, with stairs similar to those used by underground idols. Feeling a bit frightened, he descended. The moment he opened the door... It was a venue so bright it didn't feel like night, and it was unimaginably spacious. There was a decent-sized audience, and the only performer was the clown. Yet, the venue was buzzing with excitement as he performed one incredible feat after another. The clown, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up, and at that moment, their eyes met. The clown smirked. For some reason, a bad feeling washed over him at that instant. Those eyes were sickening, as if they were toying with something. Despite the unease, the performance was so spectacular that he watched until the end. He left the shop to head home, but as he was walking, he was suddenly pulled from behind. Startled, he turned around... and there stood the clown, gripping his arm. His true identity will gradually be revealed. This is the story of the salaryman Kiritani and the mysterious, eerie clown. The strange events occurring one after another around Kiritani. Behind them all, that clown is involved.
