In this world, beings called Yo-kai exist, causing all sorts of problems for humans. Yo-kai are invisible to the human eye, so to see them, you'd have to use a legendary forbidden tool hidden in the human world. But just what is this tool, and what...
It was a lazy day in the town of Springdale, the sun had begun to set, and most of the humans were heading home from their jobs. Speaking of lazy, on a bus headed out of the country was the star of our fare show, Lie-in.
Lie-in: [Yawn] Geez, how long is it going to take, master?
Sitting in the seat across from him was the legendary swordsman Yo-kai, Slacka-slash. He was quite bored with the trip, even though they had only been on the bus for about 16 miles, and the ride was soon coming to an end, as he sips tea from a flask.
Slacka-slash: Not too long now, Fatcat. We're almost there.
Lie-in: And I was asked to join, why?
Slacka-slash: Because it was an invitation from yer friend, Count Zapaway.
???: Count Zapaway?
Popping out of Lie-in's mane came Tyrat.
Tyrat: You mean that crazy Yo-kai that crashed the crazy party?
Lie-in: I guess so. Where are we headed anyway?
Slacka-slash: Well, after that last bridge, I assume we're in China.
Lie-in: Oooh, China~ Do we have any time to stop for a snack, or at least some refreshments?
Slacka-slash: We'll be getting off soon.
Tyrat: How? There's not a bus stop in sight.
Slacka-slash: 'O said there's a bus stop?
Lie-in: Uh-oh.
The bus started to slow down before Lie-in and Slacka-slash were both thrown off.
Lie-in: [Groan] I'm getting a serious sense of deja vu.
Slacka-slash: We made it, lads. Welcome to Beijing.
The streets were alive with hustle and bustle as the lights of the lanterns illuminated the town.
