| Story | Readers' Replies |
|---|---|
| You write a story about a flying contest... In pursuit of ultimate skill, a Tengu who loves flying decided to make a rapid descent amidst the storm clouds over Seirai Island. As endless thunder and fierce winds raged on, this looked like an impossible mission... Faced with so many challenges, watch how the protagonist overcomes all the obstacles and soars high into the sky! |
The strong will of the protagonist is admirable and I hope that this story will inspire more people. Kujou Sara |

A human flight master, in search of answers, issued a flying challenge to the Tengu! An extraordinary competition story, that must be seen to be believed, is about to begin! |

She is in charge of the matters that require going back and forth between the top and bottom of that mountain. Affairs were handled perfectly thanks to a special talent for flight, but the winged shrine maiden had other pressing concerns... How can she maintain a shrine maiden's graceful poise while flying? |
The story is surprisingly realistic! Maybe we should hire a Tengu shrine maiden, too! Inagi Hotomi |

All the visitors were fascinated by the impressive bird's eye view of these photos. And these photos are all from a mysterious Tengu photographer...

"Who They Are Under the Mask"
| Story | Readers' Replies |

| You write a story about a Tengu student... On campus, there's a mysterious Tengu student. Rumor has it that no one has ever seen him unmasked. In a stroke of fate, our protagonist ran into him when he wasn't wearing the mask. And it turns out that the face under the mask is actually that of a shy and handsome young man? |
While the development of story is a little flat, the portrayal of this Tengu student is really cute. I like it! Fan of Campus Stories |
| You write a story about a Tengu detective... The protagonist is a well-known detective, and the cases he deals with are always solved quickly. The secret to solving them is a Tengu mask that has the power to see through any lie... |
What an unusual detective story! If I had to make an analogy, my "Tengu mask" would be my intuition for solving crimes. Shikanoin Heizou |

"Be Careful What You Wish For"
| Story | Readers' Replies |
|---|---|
| You write a story about a very effective Lady Kitsune... A Lady Kitsune just joined the trade association to help everyone deal with a bunch of shrewd merchants. Rumor has it that a businessman once swore to her that he would be struck by lightning if he had any counterfeit goods. Suddenly, thunder struck, and it scared him so much that he begged for forgiveness and swore to deliver the goods in good faith. It's all thanks to this Lady Kitsune who has the power to make people "keep their word"... |
I wish I also had this ability to make sure that my materials are always of good quality! Tomoki |
| You write a story about a not-so-effective Great Kitsune... The Great Kitsune ran into a difficult situation a while ago: a creation she is very proud of, the "magical romantic red bean rice," had no effect on a young Oni girl. To prove her skills, the Lady Kitsune took it upon herself to save the relationship personally. But to look for the right person in a sea of people is like finding a needle in a haystack... so why not... let everyone around the girl feel attracted to her temporarily? |
I like how the main character deals with problems, and that's what makes the story so much more interesting... Yae Miko |
"Bring Forth the Fried Tofu!"

She bought a bunch of Delicious Fried Tofu and decided to stay home to enjoy it. But curiously, whenever she gets ready to eat the tofu, something always comes up to interrupt her...

We've all experienced this before. Sometimes, things like this happen when you want to take a day off... Sangonomiya Kokomi |
| You write a story about a poorly done commission... A detective agency has received a strange commission to look for something. The Lady Kitsune reported the crime and was in great distress, exclaiming that her lovely and delicious Fried Tofu was gone! After carrying out an investigation in the kitchen, they found out that it was an misunderstanding! It turned out that the missing Fried Tofu was actually something else... |
Lady Kitsune's description in the story is so misleading. How is anyone going to figure out that she's looking for a small kitsune... Futaba |

To help his owner solve his problems, the protagonist discovers that he only needs to wag his tail at the right time to clear up any misunderstanding... After all, it is believed that the tail never lies, because it has a mind of its own! |

"The Story of How a Hilichurl's Shield Became Famous"
| Story | Readers' Replies |
|---|---|
| You write a story about a magical shield that can withstand attacks from all angles... Known for its ability to "withstand attacks from all angles," the magic shield had a short period of fame before never being used again. The shield, which had worked painstakingly to learn this technique, was very sad and decided to find out what had happened. The truth was that the shield would spin too fast when deflecting a blow, causing its hilichurl wielder to become dizzy and end up losing the fight. |
So defense that is too strong can also lead to defeat? It sounds different from adventure stories I've heard before... Yuzu |
| You write a story about a not-so-effective Great Kitsune... The good shield could not bear to see its owner hurt. After each fight, it promised that it would get stronger to protect its owner. After honing its craft in battle after battle, the hilichurl was surprised to find that the shield it had in its hands was so strong that nothing else could compare with it. Behind these results are the tireless efforts of the shield in overcoming its own limits... |
Is that why my claymore is getting heavier? I totally understand! It's not that I'm getting weaker, but that my weapon is getting stronger! A Hard-Working Adventurer |
"Help! I'm Stuck In the Blanket!"
| Story | Readers' Replies |
|---|---|
| You write a fairy tale about quilts... In addition to keeping warm, each blanket has another unsung divine mission. At night, the blanket that has slept all day awakens to seal away evil spirits, protecting the sleeping children from being disturbed. As long as you find yourself well wrapped in a blanket, it will protect you and ensure that you will sleep until dawn! |
What an interesting children's story! It'll be another great way to get children to sleep! Yoimiya |
| You write a story about getting up during winter time... You wake up and realize you're late, but you can't move because you're wrapped in a blanket. It then gently whispers to you, "It's cold outside and work is tiring, but blankets are always warm and comfortable, so why don't you sleep a little more?" The full attendance bonus is at stake! And thus, a battle to get out of bed on a winter morning begins! |
The blanket has a point. The next time I sleep in, that's what I'll tell the shrine maidens... Sayu |
"A Good Day to Change Your Fortune"
| Story | Readers' Replies |

| You write a story about a Fortune Slip Hanger Tsukumogami... Lucky people face similar lucky incidents, but unlucky people always face a variety of strange and unexpected circumstances.

For everyone's good fortune, today's Fortune Slip Hangers have displayed their talents, manipulating all kinds of accidents to change misfortune into good fortune... |
Thank the Fortune Slip Hangers for giving us good luck! Should I offer some delicious food the next time I hang a Fortune Slip? Shouta |
| You write a story about an Omamori Tsukumogami... The omamori has not been in a good mood recently. After fulfilling its master's wish, it was supposed to be sent back to the shrine to enjoy the holiday just like its colleagues. But its owner's wishes are constantly changing, and it is not pleased. In order to take a break as soon as possible, the omamori decided to personally set out to help its master discover his true wish... |
The story is short but quite profound. It is important to cherish our wishes. Kamisato Ayaka |
