Education and lessons learned youkai

Cute child? No, it's a youkai.

Tofu　※Kozo is a youkai that appears on rainy days.
※Kozo=Kid
Its appearance is wearing a kimono for children and holding tofu on a tray.
And he shows the tofu.
MasayoshiTofu-Kozo
... A youkai that is neither profitable nor harmful.

Why did you decide to eat the tofu?

Tofu Kozo may tell you to eat the tofu he has.
However, it is said that eating the tofu causes mold to come out from all over the body.
I'm surprised that some people ate such suspicious tofu, but is it okay for mold to come out of my body?
The interesting thing about this Tofu Kozo is that it is not said that the person who ate it will die.

summary

・ Show me the tofu
・ Mold comes out from all over the body when eaten (it does not seem to die even if eaten)
・ Is it an "education / lesson youkai" that you shouldn't eat something you don't know?
