"W-what? No, no, no, I'm here to work, and I have the same uniform as you!" Mitarai Ichiro hurriedly retorted, his intuition telling him that if he didn't find a way to get through the current crisis, he was doomed.

“You don’t have a headband.” The skeleton pointed to its bow tie and suddenly reached out to grab him.

What headband?

Mitarai Ichiro instinctively dodged its attack, his mind a jumble of thoughts. Just as he was about to say something, a woman near the hot spring pool suddenly reached out and pulled him into the water.

The moment he entered the water, he saw a headband tied on the woman's head.

The headband was given to him by the skeleton at the front desk when he first entered the hot spring resort, and he was told not to take it off before leaving. But it seems he took it off and put it with his clothes while taking a shower.

Because the rule states, "[5. No clothing is allowed in the bath, and towels should not be brought into the water to avoid polluting the water source.]", he took off his headscarf.

Oh no! Could that be an identification device?

Before he could think any further, he was dragged into the water. Through the clear hot spring water, he saw bones lying at the bottom of the pool, the bones of someone unknown, and the lower half of the woman gripping his ankle was gleaming white.

Another drowning girl.

The consequences of opening his eyes in the hot spring water were obvious. A sharp pain started from his eyes and spread throughout his body. Mitarai Ichiro struggled to stand up, but felt his body getting heavier and heavier, as if countless hands were grabbing him and trying to drag him down.

【game over】.

"The Chosen One of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, Mitarai Ichiro, has died. The dungeon 'Hyakki Yagyō' has three remaining challenge attempts."
