DON'T TOUCH MEEEEEEEE I GOT GOOSEBUMPS WHEN HE CALLED HIS NAME IM ABOUT TO LOSE IT

[qaantar-japanese]

The boy wanders out of the shrine and into the wooded areas of the mountain to play. An old woman comes across him, and requests that he recite an okyou for her husband’s 命日 (meinichi), or the anniversary of his death. The boy hesitates, but the woman forcibly drags him to her home, where she plops him in front of a Buddha to pray (which he makes something up “おきょうを読むふりをしていました”). 

It’s late, so she provides him a futon to sleep. In the middle of the night, the boy wakes up to an odd sound (the woman chanting something). He peeks out to see that she’s an おにばば (onibaba, devil woman), complete with horns and sharp teeth! He immediately sees that he needs to escape....
