Black Koi
My sister has a Koi Birthmark on her face.
After receiving her blessing, my father won five million in the lottery, and my mother regained a stunning, slender figure.
I was the only one who wanted nothing from her.
Because I knew that what was on my sister’s face was a Black Koi.
Whatever you take from her, you must pay back double.
The Shrine Finally Opens Today
On the very first day I hung up my sign offering a “Protection Charm for a Happy Marriage,” the handsome guy from next door came to make a wish: he wanted to be a normal person.
That night, he collapsed beneath the Torii of my home, drenched in blood that shimmered like liquid gold.
My small shrine, which hadn’t seen a single offering in three months, had suddenly picked up a deity on the verge of being reclaimed by the heavens.
