三島屋変調百物語 #6
黑武御神火府邸：三島屋奇異百物語六
江戶的三島屋會舉辦叫「奇異百物語」的活動。百物語指人們齊聚一處點亮百根蠟燭，聊起怪談，說完一個便熄去一根，最後靈異事件將會發生。而三島屋比較特別，只邀請一位或一組說故事者到「黑白之間」。聆聽者只有一人，故事絕不外傳，「聽過就忘，說完就忘」是這裡的規矩。
數年來擔任聆聽者的少女阿近，春天嫁作人婦，接替者是位膽小善良、愛吃美食的小少爺富次郎。雖然是靠不住的新人，但憑著柔軟的心，聆聽四個奇妙哀傷的怪談。
老友重逢，一樁壞了家族倫理的偷情事，罪魁禍首竟是「愛哭痣」？櫻村最美的賞花處居然僅有男人可以前往，女性將受到詛咒；痛失妻女的送信人在深山遇見怪事，不斷上下擺頭的無臉男對他窮追不捨；六名男女遭逢神隱，受困詭異宅邸，食物一夜就腐敗發臭、深夜傳來沉重腳步聲，還出現長著翅膀的妖物……
家族詛咒、無常災厄、怪談背後的現世人禍，這世間的悲哀和恐怖，皆如供在神前的香，在說出故事的時刻裊裊淨化。「心」的聆聽者在此，為我們揭開全新的奇異百物語──
全書收錄四則短篇｜〈愛哭痣〉、〈婆婆的墳墓〉、〈兩人同行〉、〈黑武御神火府邸〉
【關於新的聆聽者，宮部美幸如何說？】
第二位聆聽者富次郎，用現代社會比喻，是位大學四年級的年輕人。他無須繼承家業，也曾因傷而療養，現在只是無所事事食老本的他，正處於人生停滯階段。他雖很清楚自己必須認真思考，今後該如何生存下去的問題，然而當下仍熱中於身為奇異百物語的聆聽者。為了讓這樣的富次郎摸索出有自身風格的「聽過就忘」，必須讓他遇見怎樣的說故事者呢？我在這一年間思考這點，寫下故事。
目前擔任已出版系列作中的聆聽者阿近，乃是一位出嫁前的姑娘，所以有些相當難以下筆的故事。但身為作者，感謝富次郎背負起的故事，正是第一篇的「愛哭痣」。
【關於舊的聆聽者阿近，宮部美幸如何說？】
原本打算一直由阿近擔任聆聽者，不過當我想像有著悲愴過往、背負心傷的阿近到了一把年紀仍持續擔任聆聽者的模樣，便覺得很不捨。心中懷著「想讓這女孩幸福」的念頭，因此幸運地讓她出嫁了。

I love the author and the series, but this one is quite boring 🥱

It was entertaining as always.
Reading about Edo (later changes its name to Tokyo) and seeing all those familiar names popping up was fun.
The stories themselves were intriguing as well.
However, whenever I read the short stories in this series, I feel like I've already read the story before.
There ARE some variations, but all the stories start to sound the same after a while.
But the last story (黒武御神火御殿) which consisted 55% of the book, had a new aspect and I enjoyed that story thoroughly.
I don't think I'll read the book anytime soon, but it was just creepy and intriguing enough for me to not want to put the book down.
