Kyousougiga Season 1 Episode 3 Yase, the Youkai Looking Glass Report

In Kyousougiga season 1 episode 3, titled "Yase, the Youkai Looking Glass Report," viewers are introduced to Yase, a young girl who is believed to be an expert on Yokai. Yase has a looking glass that allows her to see and communicate with Yokai, which is a supernatural creature in Japanese folklore.

The episode begins with Yase sharing her knowledge about the Yokai with Koto, who is trying to find her way back home, and her siblings, A and Un. While Koto finds Yokai to be fascinating, Yase cautions her siblings that they should be careful around these creatures as they may not always be friendly. However, Koto's curiosity gets the better of her, and she decides to venture out on her own in search of Yokai.

As Koto navigates the city, she comes across different kinds of Yokai, some of which are friendly and some that are not. One such creature Koto meets is a mischievous Yokai that looks like a ball with arms and legs. While initially, Koto is scared of the creature, she soon realizes that it is harmless and just looking to play.

Meanwhile, Yase receives a request to investigate a haunting in a nearby abandoned building. Yase, along with Koto's siblings, decide to accompany her to the location. Once there, they are met with a Yokai that looks like a giant spider, who informs them that it was responsible for the haunting. However, Yase suspects that something else is at play and decides to investigate further.

As Yase tries to uncover the truth about the haunting, Koto continues to meet different Yokai. She meets a Yakumo, which is a sacred fish in Japanese mythology, and a Youkai that looks like a house. However, not all Yokai are friendly, and Koto faces danger when she encounters a spider-like creature that tries to capture her. Fortunately, Koto is able to outsmart the creature and escape unscathed.

The episode comes to a close with Yase discovering that the Yokai at the abandoned building was not responsible for the haunting. Instead, it was a group of teenagers who were trying to scare people away. Yase is able to resolve the situation peacefully, much to the relief of the Yokai who had been wrongly accused.
