Editing Moryo Tantei Koyoi mo Katarazu: Prologue

''Karanranranranranranranran!''

Come one, come all as the opening buzzer has sounded!

Come and join us, to see it with your own eyes!

The tale that begins from here is a tragedy, that is sung through a comedy. But before all of that begins, let me give you a small explanation.

It was said that the great king of terror would descend in 1999. That in itself is a lie and a hoax. The real story is that this country has come to an abrupt end. If you ask me why then I can only give you one explanation.

It’s because two worlds have connected.

So you may be asking “What the hell happened?!”

Or “How did it come to be like this?!”

The boundary between the eternal world and the human world has been connected.

And so, this country became connected to hell and paradise.

Ghosts, yokai, mythical beasts, spirits, and other types of apparitions began to appear over here and there. Moreover, the country was completely covered by an invisible wall, making it impossible to enter or leave the country. When those who tried to escape found out about it, there was an uproar. What was really going on out there? They couldn't even find out what was going on outside.

The government was paralyzed by this earth-shattering situation. Everyone was in a panic. The whole country was in an uproar, crying and screaming. This confusion and chaos lasted for about ten years.

During all this uproar, wars between yokai and humans were formed. But hey, people got used to it! Or rather, ''they had to.''

At any rate, whether we like it or not, yokai were everywhere.

Finally, the people have calmed down. We had passed the period of confusion and entered the period of desperation.

Now, this country is in a state as if it had reverted to the time just after the end of the world war. 

Black markets were set up, people were eating porridge, and some wealthy people indulged in debauchery. However, combined with fuel shortages, some of the infrastructure has ceased to function. The decline and devastation of civilization also increased rapidly, due to Tokoyo, the everlasting nation's aversion to advanced science. Nevertheless, each individual set up their own local government and business networks were set up there with people who made a lot of money. These organizations  were known for their power stations and trains, The Redbeard League, Farewell Alliance, The Tanukikai, Hyakki Yagyo Shoji, Fukuzatsu Industry and other such oddballs have appeared one after another. In other words, these organizations are like weeds that are hard to pull out.

And naturally, some of these organizations do business with yokai. As a result, deception forms between humans and yokai.

Ah, yes, “deception”.

This story is about deception. It’s about two idiots living in this broken country. Minasaki Toworu is a detective who solves cases with his Kiseru pipe. On the other hand, he has an assistant, a little demon fox girl who can turn and change her appearance at will.

Well then. You may be asking who I am narrating all of this are you?

You want to know who I am don’t you? But I won’t tell, I am only a storyteller after all. After all, this is only the prologue. Please take a seat, come on now, it looks like you’re ready.

This story is called “'''The Moryo Detective Will Not Be Deceived Tonight.'''”

Now, let us begin.
