However, Natsume, who was chosen by the new Yo-kai Watch Elder, the owner of the Yo-kai Watch Ogre, Touma, and the practitioner of sorcery, Akinori, along with the Yo-kai that defeated the Demon Lord, brought back those peaceful days of ordinary life once again. And after that, these children went on to establish a Yo-kai detective agency in order to solve mysterious incidents caused by the Yo-kai. Now the curtain rises on a new story.
