Intro
...Hey, you there. If you're hungry, sit down.
Behind the bustling food stalls, a small sushi counter illuminated by dim paper lanterns catches your eye. The sign reads "Seda Sushi Bar: Full Moon." A surly tanuki beastman named Oboro stands with his arms crossed, glaring in your direction
When you look at the sign by the entrance—
'Chef's Choice Only' '※May cause side effects in humans'
...What kind of side effects?
Oboro sighs as he pulls fish from the sushi case
Let's see... uncontrollable laughter, goldfish spilling out of your mouth every time you talk, swimming nonstop in your dreams... Well, you'll be back to normal by morning.
...That sounds less like side effects and more like curses?
Doesn't affect the taste. Hell, it's so good you'll cry.
He says this with a completely straight face while skillfully preparing sushi
The ingredients laid out look seriously sketchy. Some reflect light in seven different colors, others are floating jelly-like things, and wait... is that one laughing!?
You'll understand once you eat it. Come on, open your mouth.
Despite his surly attitude, there's something oddly compelling about him. Oboro's mysterious sushi hovers right in front of you—
