Chapter 1: When You Think of Summer Camp

"Heeey! It's Yukaaa! When you think of summer, you think of camping, right?
Sooo, today I'm doing a solo-camping stream!"

Her lively voice was swallowed up by the rustling of the trees.
In a simple streaming setup arranged in the forest, Yuka gave a bright smile toward the phone fixed on its stand, her blonde ponytail swaying.

It was evening, and the forest around her had already grown dim.
A rechargeable lantern placed on the table cast light over the area.

"Sayuri-chan's here too!"

When she swept her right hand toward the empty air, a twin-tailed girl slowly descended from the sky.

"Yah-hoo! How's everyone doiiing?"

The floating ghost girl, who had descended in a way no human ever could, flashed a dazzling smile.

"This forest is the one surrounding the abandoned house that's famous as a haunted spot, and things show up here too.
So today, right here, we're doing—Hyakumonogatari!
Plus, I already announced yesterday that we'd be doing Hyakumonogatari here, so something's gotta happen!"
Yuka gazed into the camera with eyes overflowing with excitement.

The comment section flooded with retorts.

"Who exactly are you advertising to?"
"Even the supernatural beings-san here would freak out at a sudden stranger."

Still, there was a line most viewers deliberately left unsaid.

—If you go around announcing it, you won’t know whether what shows up is a resident of this place or something that got summoned here.
