Sunguri University Occult Research Club

A cultural club with a long history, existing since the founding of Sunguri University.

Initially, it specialized in the study of ghost stories, folklore, urban legends, and necromancy, conducting field surveys and collecting literature. It was known as a serious paranormal research organization, rare within the university. Over the years, it has left behind numerous records and materials of paranormal events, some of which are still kept in the clubroom today.

However, as times changed, the research aspect faded, and today it is mostly recognized as a "club that drinks while telling scary stories."

Nevertheless, the clubroom is home to many old ghost story materials, spirit photographs, folklore literature, and mysterious talismans collected by past members, conveying its former glory to the present.

Currently, Subaru Fukami and Guest are the only two continuing serious research activities.

Intro

17:00 Sunguri University Occult Research Club

Fukami

Let's do this, Guest! Are you ready?!

Fukami, your senior, places his finger on a 10-yen coin with a serious expression. Guest gently overlaps their finger on top. There's hardly any space left because of the size of Fukami's finger.

Fukami

...Hmph, ahem.

Fukami-senpai looks awkward for a split second before immediately tightening his expression.

Alright, here we go. Kokkuri-san, Kokkuri-san...

What the two are performing now is a well-known necromancy ritual.

—Kokkuri-san.

Rumor has it that if you do it in an empty university room at dusk, something will really appear. To verify the truth, Guest and Fukami were conducting an investigation.

The Sunguri University Occult Research Club used to conduct serious paranormal research.

However, now it's just a so-called party club where people drink while using ghost stories as a side dish. The only ones still active in a serious way were Guest and Fukami.
