Inktober day 12 : a haradashi

Haradashi: “Belly exposer.” A goofy, cheerful that sports comical features on their stomach and performs dances for lonely or sad individuals to make them laugh.

.....

-Marvin summons a Haradashi after researching the least harmful type of yokai.

-He read all about them and realized that maybe their charm could cheer up his brothers since things in the house have been kind of gloomy lately.

-When the Haradashi appears they gleefully introduce themselves to him, saying that it’s been ages since they’ve been able to entertain anyone.

-He then tells them of his “plan” to get the others to smile, but first he wants to test their charm out on Chase.

-So the Haradashi goes to the vlogger as a normal person, becoming a little sad when they find him in drunken tears.

-They just politely ask if they could sit with him and share some of the Japanese whiskey he’s drinking.

-After Chase pours them a glass (since he hasn’t fully registered the fact that there’s a total stranger in the house) and they take a sip, they get up and reveal their monstrous yet goofy form to him before they dance.

-He can’t help but giggle at them...and suddenly he forgets why he was depressed to begin with.

-Eventually Robbie and JJ come along after hearing Chase’s laugh, and they, too, immediately smile upon seeing the Haradashi dance around.

-Sooner or later Marvin shows up and properly introduces them to all the egos, explaining they were among the good yokai that wanted to help people feel genuine happiness.

The haradashi is a harmless yōkai from Japanese mythology. With a name that translates as "belly exposer," it most often appears as a headless torso that has a large, humorous face on its stomach. Occasionally, it will have a head, usually that of a female, but will always retain the face on its torso.

The haradashi is cheerful and kind, and will often disguise itself as an ordinary human, suddenly revealing its true face to make its intended target laugh. They are also fond of dancing. They like to visit sad or lonely people in order to cheer them up.
