rumor of a mysterious man wearing military clothes who is seen carrying a basket box. Because of his strange appearance, people begin to think he might be connected to something supernatural. Kanna becomes curious and investigates the story, and Chuzenji-sensei later analyzes the situation. In the end, the mystery turns out to be connected to a case involving fake ceramics, showing that the suspicious behavior and rumors were actually related to human deception rather than anything supernatural.

Episode Context

Midseason shifts gears into one of the series' most atmospheric urban legends yet. A man in a military uniform stalking the night with a casket full of mononoke sets the stage for a deeply unsettling mystery steeped in post-war paranoia. The episode opens with a deceptively light setup, Kanna lured by the promise of cake into tagging along with Chuuzenji and Reijiro to a jazz bar in Aoyama, before the tone darkens considerably when Reijiro's older brother Soichiro makes a request that pulls Chuuzenji into a new investigation. Pacing is deliberately slow, letting dread accumulate rather than relying on shock. Expect the show's signature blend of intellectual dissection and supernatural folklore, with the jazz bar setting adding a noir-tinged texture to the proceedings. This one rewards patience.
