Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 – Granny Seiko

"Fuck!"

Hitting his head repeatedly didn't change the fact that he got spirited away to another world. There was only one conclusion after he calmed himself and analyzed the situation.

There are three possibilities for what has just occurred.

One, the person he had a beef with cursed him to have an unusual dream.

Second, the last comment he wrote caused the real Youkai to come out and spirited him away due to his faith in their existence.

And third, he had already died and was in a perpetual dream.

Yeah, no way.

The second explanation might be the most believable one, since he was without a doubt here now. Although he wouldn't say it wasn't impossible because he did see something coming out from the ceiling in the shape of a human and grinning at him.

However, no matter what theory he proposed, none of them could explain why he became Jin Enjoji or even tell him how to turn back to normal.

'At least I have Nurarihyon's power. But I do have a pressing matter to do.'

From the ID he found in the table, he was a second year student at high school, which meant the main story would start soon or had already started. Chill crept onto his skin as he realized that.

'Shit.'

Jin quickly opened his closet and took off his pajamas. He found a tracksuit folded neatly inside it. Without wasting time he wore that and grabbed his backpack before sprinting out of the room.

'The good thing about this, the story probably hasn't progressed far yet so I can watch Okarun and Momo's first paranormal fight. But the bad thing is...'

Opening the door, he left the house in a hurry. He looked to his left and right but he couldn't find any car nor bike here. And then, he turned back to his house, which felt strangely eerie for him.

'...this house is cursed. There is a stupidly giant worm lurking underneath this house.'

Despite seeing the nice modern look from the outside, however, stepping inside was a completely different feeling. It made him uncomfortable to stay too long, there was always a feeling that something was watching him.

A shadow from the window. Tall, lanky man with only underwear. He felt like he could see the Evil Eye inside the house even when nothing was there.

Jin paused as he tried to think carefully.

'There is also the Evil Eye roaming around. Hell no! I can't stay in this place.'

Where to go was never the question. He already had a destination in mind. The question he had since he hurriedly left the house and walked away was one.

"How do I use Nurarihyon's power?"

He absolutely had no idea.

Anyway, he could always consult with grandma Seiko later. And so he went to the station and boarded the train to Kamikoshi city where her shrine was located.

While looking through the window, he began thinking about many things. What would he do in this world? How should he live his life here?

His first objective was clear, meeting Seiko and asking for help or crashing into their place.

Next, the problem would be money, but...

"I have quite a lot in my bank account."

When he checked his phone before, he noticed there was lots of money in his bank account. Enough for him to survive for years without having to worry about spending.

He also found his parents' phone number and told them he would go to meet granny Seiko because of something.

'It feels awkward messaging them. I was an orphan and now suddenly I have a mother and father.'

As much as he loved freedom, he'd rather be an ordinary boy with living parents like in previous life. Money can't buy parental love.

Suddenly, he felt his chest tightening as tears came out of his eyes.

'Huh?'

He was confused. Why did he cry right now? Everything has gone well so far. Did something sad happen just now? Or was he overwhelmed with emotion after coming to this world?

'My body is reacting to my thoughts? Oh, right. Jin's parents are hospitalized due to the house's curse. So they must've called the exorcists already but failed.'

That's why he got a fast reply from them, telling him that they were glad he visited grandma Seiko. After all, at this moment, he had supernatural ability and could see spirit. And that was after they became victims of paranormal stuff.

After realizing his body and spirit now merging together, he was affected by its feelings too. He tried to suppress Jiji's sadness while calming down himself and returned to his thoughts.

"The next stop is Kamikoshi Station." An announcement resounded, signaling for Jin to prepare to get off. Once he got down on the platform, he started moving away.

Sunlight shone upon him, making him raise his hand to shield his eye. 

People walked beside him, heading towards their own destinations. Work and school students chartered happily, filling his ears with cheerful voices.

Meanwhile, there was something strange happening within sight range. When he turned around to check the area behind him, an unnatural movement caught his attention. In front of his eye, two legs floating above ground appeared briefly before fading away again.

When it disappeared completely, everything went back to normal. Jin rubbed his eyes.

"Is that a spirit?" He muttered curiously. A hint of excitement could be heard from his tone.

As an occult enthusiast, seeing these paranormal entities firsthand excited him greatly. However, the feeling quickly vanished after being replaced by hope. This world didn't lack interesting phenomena to observe.

Moreover...

"I can use Spiritual Power and see ghosts too." He spoke softly to no one in particular.

Spiritual Power. A mysterious energy existing in every living being. By learning how to control it, people who possessed a large amount of it could use special techniques like a wave attack or something similar.

Jin immediately opened up the stats screen.

'My Spiritual Power is rated A, huh? And my physical strength is C. My charm is off the chart being A+. And there is Assimilation Progress 1/100.'

Thinking about something he didn't understand just gives him a headache. He decided to put it on later and headed to the shrine immediately. He found it easily thanks to the google map.

Seeing the standing Torii gate, he couldn't help but stop before entering.

"Wait, will I be fine?"

The gate had an anti-youkai charm that even burned Okarun when he first entered due to the Turbo Granny.

But then when he assimilated with her and Aira had Acrobatic Silky's aura, they could enter just fine, so he believed that he should be able to enter just fine.

Gulping, he tried extending his hand past the Torii gate nervously. Nothing happened, he passed through safely. His face brightened up with a smile.

"Sweet!"

"What are you doing over there?"

Just as he felt relieved, someone called him from a shrine area. He looked back to the direction where voice came from and saw a sexy white haired woman wearing nothing but a tank top and shorts.

Some kind of clothes were wrapped around her waist and she also wore gloves and stirrup legwears.

Her voluptuous figure stood out greatly against such skimpy attire.

She stared intently at Jin with suspicious eyes while holding a metal on her shoulder.

Despite the aggressive gesture, Jin still smiled happily since he was glad to meet the grandmother here already. After all, she could guide him well on using Nurarihyon's power, especially since he would visit frequently due to this matter.

Therefore, he approached and greeted politely, "Good day, granny Seiko! I am Jiji. You look so stunning today!" before bowing deeply.
