A single young man named Horie was recently troubled by a strange rumor spreading through town. It was a vulgar, gossipy tale whispered among men—about Kubo, a beautiful housewife from the neighborhood. The rumor claimed she would sleep with anyone who asked, spreading her legs the moment someone made a request. Despite her elegant appearance, they said she was an insatiable slut. Horie doubted whether it could be true, yet from that day on, he couldn't get her out of his mind. The more he thought about the rumor, the more his heart began to waver.
