According to the description by Toyama, the party involved in the incident, there might be two monster tales appearing in that mall.
One of them is the spider spirit in the form of a woman.
It is highly aggressive.
Toyama's companion Matsushita is most likely already a victim of an attack by this spider spirit.
Additionally, there is another monster tale in the mall, suspected to be the "Kosode no Te" based on descriptions.
Kosode no Te's attitude toward the involved party in this incident is neutral, leaning towards friendly, and even provided crucial assistance to Toyama for escaping the mall.
Mr. Tsurumi has already accepted the request from the Ibaraki Countermeasures Office.
He is now fully armed, waiting at the entrance of Yoshihikari Temple for the personnel from the Countermeasures Office to arrive, so they can head to the incident scene together.
He is dressed in monk's robes, a string of prayer beads wrapped around his left hand, and a sword at his waist.
