The One-Up Tengu
Tengu of the Humblebrag
Nah, but get this, I've got it way worse.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A tengu that forcibly bolts 'yeah, but me though...' onto every conversation. While you're talking, he isn't listening at all, because he's busy lining up the next brag to slap on top of yours. Say 'wow, so impressive' three times and his nose snaps, leaving him quiet for a while.
Relationships with other curses
He's locked in an eternal nose-length rivalry with the Pinocchio Nosegrow (always a draw, since both are lying). The one-eared painter The One-Eared Painter despises him from the bottom of his heart.
How to deal with this curse
The One-Up Tengu embodies the everyday frustration of "relationships." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
