Plot[]
A low-profile girl named Inao Kaede claims to be a fortune-teller, telling fortunes by contacting the spirit Gon by playing Spirit of the Coin, a fox spirit that she claims resides within her. As she begins to build her reputation with a continuous streak of correct predictions, more students begin to ask her to perform tasks; such as cursing the school counselor.
Kaede reluctantly accepted these requests due to fear of losing her newly gained attention and popularity. At the sign of her continued success, a female student named Chizuru Nishino apologizes to Kaede for previously making fun of her fortune telling and requests she kill a college student whom she claims is stalking her every day.
Eventually, Kaede reluctantly accepts the request and attempted to curse the man several times but nothing came of these methods. Because the man continued to live, Chizuru believed Kaede to be a fake and threatened to expose her as such. Not wanting to return to being a lonesome and overlooked person, Kaede finally resorts to using the Hell Link website. Before Ai is even able to fully explain the contract, Kaede unties the thread and believes that her reputation as the Medium is now secure.
After the man is sent to Hell, Kaede is thanked by Chizuru for taking care of the matter but is soon horrified to learn that the entire story Chizuru told her about being stalked by the man was a lie and that her only reason for wanting him dead was because she found him grotesque. As Chizuru introduces another girl who also wishes to have someone else killed, Kaede comes to realize how she had damned an innocent person, and herself, to Hell for the sake of popularity.
