Bloodmarsh, I probably won't see you again.
Before he finished speaking, Kotakeda disappeared before my eyes. Not only did the person disappear, but the whiskey he had placed on the table also vanished. It was as if I had been sitting alone in the bar the whole time.
A chill ran down my spine.
Perhaps most people never encounter a friend they don't know in their lifetime, but I did. This is something I'll never forget until the day I die. But did it really happen? Did that man named Kotakeda—an old friend I met for the first time today—really exist?
It seems I'm quite drunk after all.

From now on, if one were to discuss the uniqueness of Kobayashi Yasumi, this collection of *The Drunkard's Walk* and *The Toy Repairman* would be a symbolic event. To this day, I can still recall the genuine dizzying sensation I felt after reading *The Drunkard's Walk*; in every sense, *The Drunkard's Walk* is a genre-breaking work. — Inoue Masahiko (Japanese novelist)
*The Drunkard's Walk* was a very unique work when it was published, allowing us to read logical fantasy within a terrifying and heartbreaking science fiction novel. — Ōno Maki (Japanese sci-fi critic, book reviewer, translator)
This is a work by author Kobayashi Yasumi full of "logical horror." The more the characters discuss questions of time and consciousness based on modern physics, the more they plunge towards nightmarish, despairing conclusions. When asked about "horror that makes dreams fall," this is the first work I recommend. — Minicapper Shūhei (JUMP j BOOKS editor)
*The Toy Repairman*, famous as a horror masterpiece, is a winner of the Japan Horror Novel Award, but the even more terrifying and exciting masterpiece included in the same volume is *The Drunkard's Walk*. After reading it, you'll want to go back to the beginning and read it again. — Kinokuniya Bookstore
