"If an urban legend from a long time ago is acceptable, then I have one." said Holly. "It's fine... Wait! Holly chan! What are you doing at here?" said Sky. "Well, for someone who is using my lounge as a place for Hyakumonogatari, don't you feel it's weird to ask such a question?" said Dr. Ben while turning on the light. "Aww, Ben... You ruin the whole atmosphere... " said Sky but silenced by a cold stare from Ben. "Well, since you two are already here, let's hear about Holly's story." said Chris. And so Ben and Holly seated in the circle.
"I heard about this urban legend from Rei sama." said Holly. "Rei? That's unusual." said Chris. "Mmm, the story is about..."
Extra story - Banana tree.
There is a myth from Japan, it is about the spirits that lived in the banana tree, it says that if a woman passed through the banana trees after 6 pm, they will saw a beautiful man and become pregnant with a demon fetus. This story is somewhat a more disturbing version of these myths...
Once upon a time, there's a village in the ancient Qing Empire. In the village, there was a beautiful lady who was the dream girl of all the young men in the village. Near the main river of the village, there was a grove of banana trees, the women in the village were prohibited from getting near to it after the sunset.
However, there was one fateful night, the lady was out of the village for some important matters and only able to come back to the village at midnight. Her male companion doesn't want to take an alternative route which required them to take a big round and so they passed through banana trees grove. After they went home, the guy told her to keep it as a secret if not the whole village would blame him for bringing their 'Princess' to the banana groves in the midnight. The lady agreed as he is one of her best friends.
That night, the lady had an unusual dream, in the dream, she was intimidating with a gorgeous and beautiful man. She woke up in fear and sweat, then she found a small piece of banana leaf in her mouth, she was shocked but not dare to tell anyone about it.
A few weeks later, she showed signs of pregnancy, when people asked about it, her male companion that day lied that he had slept with her and ready to marry her. Since the lady is quite loved by the villagers, she did not get punished for premarital sex, which is a taboo that time, but at the same time, they did not allow her to marry that guy, they decided to send the baby away after she gave birth.
However, during her pregnancy, her body gotten weaker and weaker every day, the villagers afraid that she might not be able to get through the pregnancy, so they hired a skillful witch doctor from the neighboring country. But no matter what they did, they are unable to change her fate. When she was in her seventh month, she died all of a sudden, and the witch doctor was gone. In order to save the 'baby' inside her, her father cut open her womb and to their surprise, they found that her womb is empty, well, instead of empty, it's filled with some greenish liquid and white latex-like substance, it's almost like what will happen when you chopped up a banana tree. The villagers suddenly realized the truth. They look at that male companion of her with anger, her father walked towards him with that knife in his hand...

"The end." said Holly. "Ah... That's really disturbing... But I really wonder how does a banana baby looks like." said Sky. "Well, actually it looks kind of cute, but I believe it would look better if it's not premature." said Ben with a casual tone. "Wait what? Ben, don't tell me you..." said Sky. "Ugh... Why do you even think it is cute, it looks kinda disgusting, especially in that semi rotten state. But I do agree if it could make it to full term and alive, it shouldn't look bad." said Chris. "Uh... Chris... Are you telling me that...Hold on... Qing's Empire and neighboring countries... Ah! So it is like what I thought! Seriously! What are you guys even thinking, even Rei has no issue with it? Damn!" said Sky, in a slight hysteria manner but getting ignored as usual...
