Episode Title:
The Umbrella Goddess.
Episode Description:
A boy called Kenji goes to the countryside to visit his friend Takeru. After some catching up, Kenji is left alone at the front of the house and notices a woman abnormally holding an open umbrella with her mouth and making a high-pitched squealing noise. Takeru suddenly appears with a plate of melons. Kenji looks up, only to find that the woman disappeared. After relating this to Takeru's father, he becomes horror struck, murmuring about the "Umbrella Goddess". That night, Takeru's father has Kenji sleep in a shed with a bowl of salt and warns him not to open its door for anyone until morning. Some time later, Takeru brings Kenji some snacks and apologizes for his father's measures before leaving. Just then, Takeru strangely reappears and asks Kenji to open the door, which the latter refuses and instead locks it in fear just as the Takeru-figure starts rocking the shed, all the while a high-pitched squeal echoes throughout the shed and the bowl of salt burns. Later that morning, unbeknownst to Kenji as he exits the shed in a sigh of relief, the Umbrella Goddess appears behind him.
