    Don't tell Kitaro.

    I wanna eat something better.

[02:45] ---
    KAWAUSO'S LIE
[02:53] ---
    Here it is again, Dad.
[02:55] ---
    Hmm. Who could it be doing this?
[03:01] ---
    What's wrong?
[03:03] ---
    Catchick.
[03:05] ---
    It's this.
[03:06] ---
    They're just vegetables.
[03:08] ---
    Recently they've been
    showing up almost every day.
[03:12] ---
    Huh. From whom?
[03:14] ---
    We have absolutely no idea.
[03:17] ---
    Why don't you just take them?
[03:20] ---
    They look tasty.
[03:21] ---
    They do look good.
[03:24] ---
    Oh, do you want some?
[03:26] ---
    Huh?!
[03:27] ---
    I-I don't need any!
[03:29] ---
    How come?
[03:30] ---
    How come? I-I'm on a diet!
[03:35] ---
    Huh?
[03:36] ---
    What is it, Kitaro?
[03:39] ---
    Well, I figure, if she's on a diet,
    then wouldn't it be better to eat some?
[03:44] ---
    They're vegetables.
[03:45] ---
    Cabbage might be good for her.
[03:50] ---
    After so long, it's our summer home!
[03:52] ---
    It's really been a while.
[03:54] ---
    Thanks to somebody being busy with work.
[03:58] ---
    -That's what a summer home is.
    -I know!
[04:04] ---
    I'm sending these to Cat-san!
[04:06] ---
    Cat-san? Is that a friend?
[04:08] ---
    Yup!
[04:09] ---
    Cat-san is always wonderful and pretty
    and cool and strong,
[04:16] ---
    yet she's kind and so stylish!
[04:23] ---
    How are things?
[04:25] ---
    Oh, they're all growing healthily.
[04:29] ---
    These are impressive.
[04:31] ---
    Your pure heart must be
    reaching the vegetables.
[04:36] ---
    I'm really glad you came.
[04:40] ---
    I'm really grateful that you let me have
    lots of harvested vegetables, too.
[04:45] ---
    It's nothing. Without care, a field will
    go to shambles in no time.
[04:51] ---
    That field didn't have
    anyone to take over.
[04:56] ---
    I feel really bad
    having you do everything...
[05:00] ---
    Please don't. I like doing farm work.
[05:04] ---
    Besides, having someone
    eat the food I've grown
[05:09] ---
    makes me really happy.
[05:12] ---
    My wife would often
    say things like that, too...
[05:35] ---
    Oh! What's wrong?!
[05:39] ---
    Are you okay?
[05:40] ---
    I'm so hungry I felt weak.
[05:43] ---
    What?
[05:43] ---
    I haven't eaten anything in three days...
[05:47] ---
    How come?
[05:49] ---
    I have to work as hard as I can
    to feed my young little sister.
[05:55] ---
    What about your father and mother?
[05:57] ---
    My mom's dead.
[05:59] ---
    My dad is always out and about playing.
[06:03] ---
    Oh, hold on!
[06:06] ---
    You're just a child,
    yet you have it so hard...
[06:10] ---
    It's not much, but here, take these.
[06:12] ---
    Really?!
[06:14] ---
    Sure.
[06:15] ---
    You need to eat well, too.
    Not just your sister.
[06:19] ---
    Thanks!
[06:28] ---
    Today's bath is a corn tea bath
    I made from corn silk.
[06:32] ---
    -"I'm at my summer home!"
    -"Nice!!"
[06:33] ---
    Huh. It smells nice.
[06:33] ---
    "That's nice.
    I go to the mountains a lot recently."

[06:36] ---
    By the way, Kitaro, I noticed
    the vegetables didn't show up today.
[06:40] ---
    You're right.
[06:42] ---
    I wonder what that was about?
[06:44] ---
    Who knows?
[06:45] ---
    It must be a day off, that's all.
[06:48] ---
    Or was there some vegetable
    that you wanted to eat?
[06:51] ---
    I'm not sure. I guess I'm in
    the mood for sweet potatoes.
[06:55] ---
    Sweet potatoes?
    It's a little early for those...
[06:59] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[07:00] ---
    N-Nothing!
[07:03] ---
    Good night!
[07:11] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[07:12] ---
    Maybe they're still too small after all...
[07:15] ---
    Oh well.
[07:18] ---
    I'm taking a walk!
[07:20] ---
    Daddy is too!
[07:22] ---
    Seriously?
[07:22] ---
    What?!
[07:23] ---
    -Sure!
    -You're too kind!
[07:26] ---
    Hey! Don't we have to clean first today?
[07:28] ---
    Seriously?
[07:30] ---
    It's dusty inside
    and the grass needs trimming.
[07:36] ---
    They say there's a yokai around here.
[07:39] ---
    A-A yokai?!
[07:42] ---
    Especially in
    the swamp called Obebe Swamp,
[07:44] ---
    they say there's a
    really crafty yokai living there.
[07:51] ---
    Mana, let's all work on cleaning together!
[07:55] ---
    Wait. Huh?
[07:56] ---
    Mana! Honestly!
[07:58] ---
    Don't go too far!
[08:00] ---
    Okay!
[08:04] ---
    Whew!
[08:08] ---
    Come to think of it, didn't Cat-san say
    she goes to the mountains?
[08:13] ---
    I wonder why?
[08:15] ---
    Maybe for picnics?
[08:18] ---
    How nice!
[08:23] ---
    That's the problem with the mountains.
[08:26] ---
    Huh?
[08:32] ---
    Heave ho! Heave ho!
[08:40] ---
    Mana?
[08:43] ---
    Cat-san?!
[08:45] ---
    What a surprise, seeing you here.
[08:48] ---
    Yes. I was...
[08:51] ---
    surprised, too...
[08:56] ---
    Uh, are you changing your image?
    It looks good.
[08:59] ---
    Oh, these are work clothes.
    They're the best to move around in.
[09:05] ---
    Unfortunately,
    it's not very fashionable...
[09:08] ---
    Oh...
[09:09] ---
    I came here the other day running
    an errand for Sand Witch.
[09:15] ---
    There was an old man collapsed in a field.
[09:19] ---
    Are you all right?
[09:20] ---
    That old man
[09:22] ---
    slipped and fell off a cliff with his wife
    a few days earlier.
[09:29] ---
    The old man was rescued,
    but his wife is still missing...
[09:34] ---
    I couldn't just leave him.
[09:36] ---
    That explains the work pants...
[09:38] ---
    -Huh?
    -Oh, nothing!
[09:40] ---
    That's why you were
    helping with the field.
[09:43] ---
    Yeah.
[09:44] ---
    But, don't tell Kitaro about this.
[09:48] ---
    Huh? Why not?
[09:50] ---
    Because!
[09:51] ---
    You're going that way, right Mana?
[09:54] ---
    I'm glad I saw you. Bye.
[09:56] ---
    Oh, um, Cat-san!
[10:00] ---
    Uh, well... See you tomorrow.
[10:10] ---
    It's a nice story,
[10:13] ---
    but my image of Cat-san...
[10:23] ---
    Miss!
[10:24] ---
    You again!
[10:27] ---
    Did you enjoy the vegetables?
[10:29] ---
    They were delicious!
    Or so I'd like to say...
[10:32] ---
    My dad came home and ate them all...
[10:36] ---
    I see...
[10:37] ---
    I don't care how hungry I am.
[10:41] ---
    But I feel sorry for my
    poor little brother...
[10:44] ---
    Little brother?
[10:45] ---
    Didn't you say it was your little sister?
[10:49] ---
    I-I've got a brother, too!
    I've got lots of siblings!
[10:52] ---
    That's why, as the oldest,
    I've gotta be strong!
[10:56] ---
    That sounds hard...
[10:57] ---
    It's not that bad.
    I do get a little down sometimes though...
[11:02] ---
    No, I've got my siblings!
    I shouldn't feel down!
[11:11] ---
    Here, take these.
[11:12] ---
    You sure?!
[11:14] ---
    Yeah, I'm sure.
[11:16] ---
    I want the person
    who needs these the most to eat them.
[11:19] ---
    Thank you, kind miss!
[11:30] ---
    Man, talk about a kind miss.
[11:56] ---
    Look out! Wild boars are coming!
    It's a huge herd!
[11:59] ---
    What?!
[12:07] ---
    Look at them run!
[12:08] ---
    This is why I just can't
    stop teasing humans.
[12:15] ---
    What's wrong? Too scared to move?
[12:21] ---
    Oh very well.
[12:24] ---
    Don't cry. I'll carry you to your home.
[12:36] ---
    Oh man!
[12:41] ---
    I'm still hungry.
[12:43] ---
    OBEBE SWAMP
[12:50] ---
    I wanna eat something better
    than just potatoes.
[13:02] ---
    KAWAUSO AND KITARO
[13:05] ---
    YOKAI KAWAUSO
[13:07] ---
    -"No, no."
    -"I'll turn this into money."
[13:08] ---
    "Sorry."
[13:10] ---
    Kitaro, there was a letter
    in the Yokai Mailbox.
[13:15] ---
    A letter?
[13:19] ---
    You're doing field work again today?
[13:21] ---
    Yeah. I thought I'd
    harvest the watermelons today.
[13:26] ---
    Oh. I didn't know watermelons
    don't grow on trees.
[13:30] ---
    Wait, you've never seen
    a watermelon grown before?
[13:34] ---
    Most people haven't.
[13:36] ---
    Wow, it's heavy! I didn't know
    watermelons were this heavy.
[13:41] ---
    You've never held a watermelon either?
[13:44] ---
    We always buy ones that are
    cut into small pieces.
[13:47] ---
    I see.
[13:54] ---
    Calm down, it's just a flower chafer.
[13:59] ---
    You're fine with bugs?
[14:02] ---
    It's bugs that carry pollen, making plants
    blossom, and making the land fertile.
[14:11] ---
    Trees and flowers and bugs and animals...
[14:14] ---
    People and yokai...
[14:16] ---
    They're all the same.
    Just elements that make up nature.
[14:21] ---
    It looks like humans these days
    have been forgetting that.
[14:28] ---
    First off...
[14:33] ---
    Try the taste of a freshly picked one.
[14:36] ---
    Go ahead.
[14:37] ---
    In that case, here goes.
[14:45] ---
    It's delicious! I've never had
    a watermelon this good before!
[14:49] ---
    Freshly picked vegetables and fruits are
    full of nutrients and really juicy.
[14:57] ---
    The earth grows a tiny seed into food.
[15:00] ---
    Farming lets one feel
    that great power up close.
[15:05] ---
    I think it's really fulfilling work.
[15:08] ---
    Cat-san...
[15:12] ---
    Mana, you're not in your house.
[15:15] ---
    This is how you handle seeds.
[15:23] ---
    See?
[15:24] ---
    But...
[15:25] ---
    Just try it.
[15:27] ---
    Okay.
[15:31] ---
    Huh?
[15:34] ---
    Huh?!
[15:35] ---
    You're terrible, Mana.
[15:37] ---
    Hey! Don't laugh at me!
[15:42] ---
    I think it should be around here.
[15:45] ---
    Hmm, it seems that way.
[15:51] ---
    Cat-san?
[15:52] ---
    Shh! Shh!
[15:53] ---
    Huh? Mana?
[15:55] ---
    Kitaro.
[15:57] ---
    What are you doing here? Are you alone?
[15:59] ---
    Uh, well, yeah.
    I've got a summer home near here.
[16:03] ---
    Huh. What a coincidence.
[16:05] ---
    -Why is Kitaro here?
    -What are you doing here, Kitaro?
[16:08] ---
    -I can't let Kitaro see me like this!
    -There's a swamp near called Obebe Swamp.
[16:14] ---
    There's a yokai called Kawauso
    living there.
[16:17] ---
    Obebe Swamp?
[16:18] ---
    Is it a really crafty yokai?
[16:21] ---
    Yeah. Apparently it's been
    causing trouble recently.
[16:24] ---
    We got a letter.
[16:26] ---
    It usually disguises itself
    as a human child.
[16:30] ---
    Then, for sympathy, it says it has no
    parents or it's looking after its siblings
[16:36] ---
    and tricks humans into giving it things.
[16:44] ---
    Man, fish taste a lot better
    than vegetables.
[16:48] ---
    Hello. We meet again.
[16:51] ---
    Oh! Miss!
[16:53] ---
    Thanks for the sweet potatoes
    the other day! My sick mom was grateful!
[16:59] ---
    Your sick mom?
[17:01] ---
    Yeah! She's feeling
    hungry again thanks to--
[17:04] ---
    You said your mother was dead, didn't you?
[17:07] ---
    Huh?! W-Wait, did I say that?
[17:10] ---
    I knew it.
    You're the Obebe Swamp Kawauso!
[17:15] ---
    How did you know?! Oops!
[17:17] ---
    How dare you trick me!
[17:22] ---
    Cat-san?
[17:24] ---
    Ki--
[17:26] ---
    Catchick?
[17:27] ---
    What's with those clothes?
[17:30] ---
    N-No, this is...!
[17:32] ---
    All right, miss.
[17:34] ---
    I'll give back the vegetables you gave,
[17:37] ---
    -so don't be mad.
    -Shh! Shh!
[17:40] ---
    She gave me lots of stuff
    that she grew herself.
[17:45] ---
    Huh. Catchick did?
[17:47] ---
    Huh? That means...
[17:53] ---
    Catchick, was that your doing?!
[17:59] ---
    This is all...
[18:01] ---
    your fault!
[18:03] ---
    Get back here!
[18:07] ---
    What's going on?
[18:10] ---
    Who knows?
[18:14] ---
    Stop, you!
[18:50] ---
    I was waiting.
[18:58] ---
    Stop, damn you!
[19:04] ---
    Old lady!
[19:07] ---
    Look out!
[19:10] ---
    You're still running?!
[19:12] ---
    What are you doing here?
[19:15] ---
    I've got you, you dirty yokai!
[19:17] ---
    L-Let go of me!
[19:19] ---
    Michiko!
[19:21] ---
    You're all right!
[19:23] ---
    Darling!
[19:26] ---
    I'm sorry to worry you.
[19:28] ---
    Thank goodness. Thank goodness!
[19:32] ---
    But, how did you survive?
[19:35] ---
    Well, that little boy saved me.
[19:42] ---
    Huh?
[19:43] ---
    Thank you so much.
[19:52] ---
    Ever since I fell down the cliff
    and couldn't walk,
[19:56] ---
    he's been bringing me food
    this whole time.
[20:00] ---
    Thanks to him, as you can see, I've
    healed enough to where I can walk again.
[20:06] ---
    I see.
[20:07] ---
    I guess not everything you do is a lie.
[20:11] ---
    Nah, that old lady just
    ate my table scraps.
[20:17] ---
    I wouldn't care if that old lady died.
[20:22] ---
    In fact, if everybody in this village
    disappeared, I'd feel relief.
[20:30] ---
    Are you actually lonely?
[20:35] ---
    There's something wrong
    with humans these days.
[20:39] ---
    They all abandon the mountains
    and the plains and go far away...
[20:45] ---
    Then why don't you stay with--
[20:46] ---
    You could just come with us.
[20:50] ---
    To the GeGeGe Forest.
[20:52] ---
    Huh?
[20:53] ---
    In the GeGeGe Forest,
    you'll have lots of friends.
[20:56] ---
    I'm sure you won't feel lonely there.
[21:00] ---
    But, I tricked you...
[21:07] ---
    Tricked who? I forgot already.
[21:12] ---
    Thank you.
[21:17] ---
    -You really are so cool, Cat-san!
    -What, all of a sudden?!
[21:22] ---
    No matter how you're dressed,
    you're still Cat-san!
[21:26] ---
    Why are you stating the obvious?
[21:29] ---
    By the way,
[21:31] ---
    why did you secretly leave vegetables
    in front of our house?
[21:35] ---
    And you acted like
    you didn't know anything about it.
[21:39] ---
    Th-That's...
[21:44] ---
    I don't know about any vegetables.
[21:46] ---
    Huh? That wasn't you, Catchick?
[21:50] ---
    I said it wasn't me!
[21:52] ---
    Then who was it?
[22:05] ---
    I heard the sound of his geta
[22:05] ---
    aitsu no geta no oto ga shitanda
[22:11] ---
    I heard the sound of his geta
[22:11] ---
    aitsu no geta no oto ga shitanda
[22:18] ---
    Who is that behind me?
