On the twenty fifth day, Heitaro stepped out on the balcony overlooking his backyard.
He stepped down from the balcony to go into his garden, but when his foot landed where the stepping stone should have been, instead of a stone there was a big blue yokai instead!
Heitaro’s foot sunk into the monster’s belly, like soft mud. It was sticky, gooey, and cold.
Gross!
Heitaro wasn’t too happy about it either, but he managed to keep his cool.
Now they’re back to practical jokes… but the yokai didn’t respond at all? Most of the ones that came before were pretty lively!
True, there’s not much of a method to their madness.
Madness IS the method

So, do you think they’re all coordinating somehow, or is it more of a party situation? “Hey, Heitaro touched The Bad Rock™, so any yokai who wants to come to his house and screw with him, it’s open season this month!”
