Do you know what an affiliate blog is?

Supernatural Science Kiri Kiri Basara

For you fellow NEETs out there, no other job can be this wonderful.

Basically, if the popularity of your blog goes up,

of course the number of site views goes up as well.

From there, more people will click on the items on sale, and your income goes up.

Anyway, I am "NEET God," and the site I run, "Supernatural Science Kiri Kiri Basara,"

picks up good articles from news websites and personal blogs.

Then I make them brief, awesome, and most importantly, stylish and easy to read.

It's an easy job.

In other words, I'm a normal NEET in second year of high school

who's dreaming of increasing affiliate income to get rich quick like a certain senpai.

But I don't make so much that you'd get jealous.

It's such a disheartening amount that it makes me want to die.

Since the occult is ridiculously popular lately,

I made a round-up website like this, but I may have been wrong.

On the other hand, similar sites appeared, so I can't gain any site views at all.

But my biggest goal is for all you Basarars to provide me with fun stories to share.

Kiri!

I'm looking forward to those sharp points of view from all you Basarars again!

YUTA GAMON

It's true that I'm an otaku and a virgin, but I'm not creepy!

If I dress normally,

I'd say my looks are slightly better than average in my class. I think.

Gamota...

even if your looks were slightly better than average,

if you bury the bottom half of your face with a pathetic duffel coat

and mumble things to yourself, that's totally ruining it!

Manager Izumin, can I get a refill on my water?

Sheesh! Don't push me to work so hard!

You know, Gamota, what was that thing, Kiri Kiri Hag?

Kiri Kiri Basara.

I took a small peek at it, too.

If you make fun of ghosts, you'll be cursed someday!

The occult really exists!

Izumin won't help you out!

It's all on you!

A curse? Makes me laugh! There's no way there are any ghosts!

You know what, Manager Izumin?

Kiri Kiri Basara isn't just a round-up website.

It takes the many occultic supernatural phenomena that exist in the world

You can see something like a face? Then it's a ghost photograph.

Curse of Kokkuri is seriously scary!

A girl lived with a mummy dude? Seriously?

and refutes them down drastically with slicing points of view in a funny way!

I named the site this in a fit of rage, but I don't regret it at all.

For you see, the Basarars that write stuff in are more fierce

Raining, pouring, splish splash!

with their slicing points of view than I am.

Ribbit, ribbit! It's Gamotan who's croaking!

If anything, I have to say this is nothing but me being lucky.

RYOKA NARUSAWA

Gamotan croaks, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

I don't croak.

-Gamotan! Ribbitan! -Yes.

Gamotan! Ribbitan! Gamotan! Ribbitan!

Stop! Yeah, yeah, stop dancing!

Huh?

No time for "Huh."

Well, Ryo-tas, your job isn't that of a dancer but a staff member of Kiri Kiri Basara.

You need to go look for stories together with me—

- Ishishu it is! - Hold, stop it, Ryo-tas! Poya-gun! No!

What should I be doing here?

Everything is okay! Everything is okay just like this!

One year behind me in Seimei High school, this is Ryoka Narusawa, a.k.a. Ryo-tas!

I'm so cool because I'm friends with a girl like this!

Truly fulfilled in real life! So everything is okay! But, no!

Poya-gun! No!

You know?

Kiri Kiri Basara was a blog just for "Operation Gamotan Gets Rich," right?

But even if Ryo-tas helps out,

that has nothing to do with the Operation Get Rich part, right?

Th-Then, if I get some income from the affiliate, I'll treat you to some Staton.

I'd personally recommend the soy sauce and garlic.

Oh, would you prefer the salt and garlic instead?

STATON

Ryo-tas would prefer Woodberrries frozen yogurt instead of that.

W-Woodberrie...

WOODBERRIES FROZEN YOGURT

It's a shop that specializes in frozen yogurt near the train station.

I-I see.

Then we'll go with that.

Hey, hey, when will Ryo-tas be able to eat some frozen yogurt?

S-So close!

W-Well, whenever I get some money from the affiliate, I guess.

So Ryo-tas, can you put away that super-dangerous Poya-gun now?

Then, I'll check up on the number of site views.

The monthly total is...

So my luck is strong after all!

But no, God controls all things in life!

There will be a day when the occult overpasses even Eros!

God is "Ero"him Essaim!

Proving the existence of spirits with science...

PROFESSOR KANSEI HASHIGAMI

Either that act will be the biggest embarrassment of the century,

or you will end up as the Galileo of the 21st century.

Whichever it may end up, I believe it is the mission of all scientists to pursue it.

PSYCHIC SHIZUKO KIMURA

SCIENCE JOURNALIST TAKAHIKO SAWAZAKI

POP IDOL AMAKO UTSUMI

SPECIAL PROGRAM OCCULTIC SCIENCE LAB

Mr. Hashigami, you are a formal member of the SPR,

Society for Psychical Research, correct?

I hear that you are the only Japanese member of the society.

Yes. It is an organization to promote scientific research

of poltergeists and supernatural phenomena.

It was organized in 1882 at Trinity College of Cambridge University.

Jung, Freud and Lewis Carroll were members, as well.

The fact that SPR is an organization with a long history

is something all scientists will agree to.

However, the prime days of the organization were well over a century ago, correct?

In the 21st century with all the technological advances,

the society is being pushed away from academia, correct?

It indeed may be that way.

But overseas, there are many scientists who are serious about this subject.

You say that,

but not one university in Japan allows you to learn parapsychology!

Right.

For example, souls of the dead do not exist.

That existence has been denied in many fields of science.

History like that has created the foundation for modern-day technology, correct?

Mr. Hashigami, would you beg to differ?

There is no concrete proof that souls do not materially exist, either.

I am sick and tired of science ignoring strange events.

Listen up, everyone.

Souls do indeed exist.

Spiritual!

Ms. Utsumi, how did you interpret Mr. Hashigami's talk just now?

I don't get it too well,

but aren't the cuticles of Mr. Hashigami's hair amazing?

Cuticle, curl, curl!

I'm amazed that he'd actually be on shows like this.

He's totally aware they're going to bash on him, too.

Maybe he likes showing himself in front of people?

This is such a farce.

It's a waste of time.

SARAI HASHIGAMI

Do you just want to show off?

Or do you really want to unravel poltergeists?

Which is it, Dad?

Hurry!

Please, Sarai! You need to hurry up and speak with your father!

NOTICE Professor Hashigami's Introduction to Science and Engineering lecture has been cancelled.

Was he eaten by a demon?

Or is he about to get eaten?

RIRIKA NISHIZONO

A demon?

MONTHLY MUMU

EDITORIAL DIVISION 3

Though, if I were to reword it in scientific jargon...

I'm back now!

Thanks for the hard work.

TOUKO SUMIKAZE

Thanks for the hard work, Editor-in-Chief.

That's the next manuscript for Mr. Hashigami. It's looking good.

You've already read it?

Who do you think picked it up from him?

It wasn't Makabe?

It was me! Me!

The editor-in-chief directly went?

So, what in the world is about to begin now?

Will there be an UFO invasion from the Large Magellanic Cloud tomorrow?

There won't be.

If such a thing were to happen,

I'd already have gotten information long ago from an acquaintance.

I mean, I have connections all over the world.

I was just joking around.

You're a mature adult now, you don't have to act so proud about things like that!

Anyways, that aside, I just needed to head to Kichijoji this morning.

So I thought I'd drop by Mr. Hashigami's place since I was all the way out there.

Thank you for all that trouble.

Yeah.

If Mr. Hashigami would get a computer,

we wouldn't have to go get manuscripts from him anymore.

The data stored within the human brain is released outside the body after death

Oh, don't say that.

They say that the author's will resides within handwritten manuscripts.

as magnetic data with its own will.

The real guise of the ghost is—

Can that be something occultic?

Calm it down!

It's a policy. My policy.
