    Huh?
[02:20] ---
    Hello? Tomo-kun?
[02:22] ---
    Uh-huh... Uh-huh...
[02:23] ---
    I finally finished unpacking.
[02:26] ---
    Once I get off work, I'll head over.
[02:32] ---
    Sorry, I didn't quite get that.
    There's an airfield nearby.
[02:37] ---
    Oh, your cactus moving gift arrived.
    Thanks!
[02:41] ---
    Cactus? I didn't send one.
[02:45] ---
    Huh? Then who did...?
[02:49] ---
    This is my house.
[02:53] ---
    Yui?
[02:55] ---
    Yui?! What's wrong?! Hey!

    CHAPTER 59
[03:00] ---
    PROMISE TO THE FEMALE YOKAI
    USHIROGAMI
[03:05] ---
    Dad.
[03:06] ---
    Rat Man hasn't been around recently.
[03:09] ---
    Let's hope he's not
    up to no good somewhere.
[03:12] ---
    Yeah.
[03:14] ---
    Kitaro.
[03:15] ---
    You got a letter in the Yokai Mailbox.
[03:18] ---
    TO GEGEGE NO KITARO
[03:20] ---
    Two weeks ago,
[03:22] ---
    my girlfriend Yui disappeared.
[03:24] ---
    The day she moved into that room.
[03:27] ---
    Why did you write to me?
[03:30] ---
    While talking on the phone with Yui,
    she suddenly cut off,
[03:35] ---
    and I heard someone else's voice.
[03:39] ---
    It made a shiver go up my spine.
[03:43] ---
    It was just like... well...
[03:45] ---
    A yokai?
[03:46] ---
    Yes.
[03:48] ---
    I talked to the police,
    but they didn't believe me.
[03:53] ---
    There's a faint trace of yokai activity.
[03:56] ---
    Was there anything else you noticed?
[03:59] ---
    Actually, she mentioned that
    a cactus arrived.
[04:03] ---
    A cactus?
[04:08] ---
    It looks like
    there are other disappearances.
[04:12] ---
    Over the past few months, several humans
    have disappeared without a trace.
[04:17] ---
    There's even cases of
    entire families disappearing.
[04:20] ---
    They might all be by the same yokai.
[04:24] ---
    I'll check it out.
[04:29] ---
    "Serial disappearances by yokai are
    happening in this town.
[04:33] ---
    Be careful!!"
[04:37] ---
    The disappearances started
    about three months ago.

[04:41] ---
    Since then, it's happened every two weeks.
[04:45] ---
    The last time was exactly two weeks ago.
[04:49] ---
    Then...
[04:51] ---
    will somebody disappear again today?
[04:57] ---
    Did Dad order this?
[05:00] ---
    If it's a gift for Mom, it's pretty tacky.
[05:05] ---
    What's wrong, Bell-chan?
[05:08] ---
    You never bark that much.
    There, there, there.
[05:22] ---
    Th-That's right. I should check my email.
[05:25] ---
    Email check, email check...
[05:32] ---
    We're home!
[05:33] ---
    Welcome back!
[05:34] ---
    How was your first date in a while?
[05:37] ---
    The play was wonderful.
[05:39] ---
    Your dad was tired
    and fell asleep, though.
[05:42] ---
    How embarrassing.
[05:45] ---
    Your potted cactus arrived during the day.
[05:49] ---
    Cactus? I never order one.
[05:52] ---
    Really?
[05:53] ---
    I don't know about it either.
[05:56] ---
    By the way, where's Bell-chan? Outside?
[06:17] ---
    Bell, where are you?
[06:27] ---
    A cactus?
[06:33] ---
    Say, I was just in the shower and...
[06:35] ---
    Huh? A cactus?
[06:38] ---
    What's it doing here?
[06:41] ---
    I can't find Bell anywh...
[06:51] ---
    Wh-What is this?! This doesn't make sense!
[06:55] ---
    I-I know! Mana would probably...
[06:59] ---
    This is my house.
[07:06] ---
    HELP, MANA! DAD WAS TAKEN BY A CAC
[07:08] ---
    Miyabi?
[07:10] ---
    That was the last location.
[07:12] ---
    And no clues.
[07:17] ---
    Mana?
[07:26] ---
    Hello? It's Mana Inuyama.
[07:33] ---
    Excuse me.
[07:37] ---
    Good evening...
[07:47] ---
    Miyabi...
[08:15] ---
    M-Miyabi!
[08:34] ---
    The calendar...
[08:35] ---
    DISAPPEARANCES
[08:37] ---
    Did Miyabi also...?
[08:42] ---
    My battery's dead.
[08:46] ---
    Get out.
[08:52] ---
    This is... my house.
[09:00] ---
    Get out!
[09:08] ---
    USHIROGAMI
[09:11] ---
    CHOFU CITY
    KITARO SQUARE
[09:13] ---
    -"No passing."
    -"Ge."
[09:14] ---
    "Look me in the eye and tell me."
[09:28] ---
    Where? Where did you go?
[09:35] ---
    Are you here?
[09:39] ---
    Oh my.
[09:54] ---
    I've found you!
[09:57] ---
    Please open!
[09:59] ---
    Mana?!
[10:00] ---
    Kitaro! Cat-san!
[10:03] ---
    What happened?
[10:05] ---
    Right there...
[10:10] ---
    Well, Kitaro?
    Is there still yokai activity?
[10:13] ---
    Yes. Stronger than the other locations.
    In other words...
[10:18] ---
    It's somewhere in this house.
[10:21] ---
    Mana, leave the rest to us and go home.
[10:24] ---
    No. I'm not leaving.
[10:26] ---
    You were terrified a moment ago.
[10:29] ---
    I know. But Miyabi's my best friend.
[10:33] ---
    She turned to me for help.
[10:36] ---
    I can't just leave.
[10:39] ---
    Kitaro, there's no point in arguing.
[10:44] ---
    Fine then. Just don't do anything risky.
[10:47] ---
    Okay.
[10:54] ---
    An airfield.
[10:59] ---
    GET OUT
[11:03] ---
    This is...
[11:05] ---
    The one in this house seems to consider us
    a major pest.
[11:10] ---
    -STAY AWAY
    -THIS IS MY HOUSE
[11:20] ---
    Catchick, look after Mana.
[11:22] ---
    Got it!
[11:25] ---
    Stop!
[11:32] ---
    Was this here before?
[11:35] ---
    What a strange cactus.
[11:37] ---
    What are these bumps?
[11:40] ---
    "Cac..."
[11:43] ---
    CAC
[11:45] ---
    "Cactus"?!
[11:47] ---
    Cat-san! That cactus is...
[12:05] ---
    Hair Needles!
[12:07] ---
    Cat-san was...!
[12:08] ---
    Mana-chan, run!
[12:09] ---
    Okay!
[12:11] ---
    This must be behind the disappearances!
[12:19] ---
    I'll erase all in my way.
[12:22] ---
    You're Ushirogami!
[12:24] ---
    USHIROGAMI
[12:27] ---
    You're a gentle yokai that
    lives in the mountains far from humans.
[12:33] ---
    Why are you doing this?!
[12:35] ---
    It's none of your concern.
[12:40] ---
    Kitaro.
[12:42] ---
    Catchick, you're all right.
[12:45] ---
    This is...?
[12:46] ---
    The inside of the cactus.
    Everyone was eaten by this Yokai Cactus.
[12:51] ---
    But where are they?
[12:54] ---
    Hey!
[12:56] ---
    Rat Man?
[12:57] ---
    What are you doing here?
[12:59] ---
    Actually, about two weeks ago...
[13:05] ---
    I was about to starve when
    a delicious smell stimulated my nose.
[13:11] ---
    Then...
[13:19] ---
    A true gift from heaven! Thank you!
[13:22] ---
    You're back at last.
[13:25] ---
    Yowch!
[13:28] ---
    Uh, I'm not anyone suspicious.
[13:32] ---
    No. You're not him.
[13:35] ---
    Who are you?
[13:38] ---
    H-H-H-Hold on a minute!
[13:40] ---
    You! You're not
    waiting for someone here, are you?
[13:46] ---
    I thought so!
[13:48] ---
    In that case, I, BiBiBi no Rat Man
    can help you if the price is right.
[13:54] ---
    It just so happens that
    finding people is what I do best!
[14:03] ---
    Really?
[14:04] ---
    Yes, yes, yes!
    I've got a 100% success rate!
[14:08] ---
    Why don't you tell me the situation.
[14:16] ---
    UKI UKI LAND CONSTRUCTION SITE
[14:17] ---
    Having lost my home and left my mountain,
[14:21] ---
    I worked hard in the human world
    to get a new home.
[14:26] ---
    By the time I'd saved up a good sum of
    money, I met him... Mitamura-san.
[14:33] ---
    What's your name?
[14:34] ---
    Ushiro... No, it's Mika Yashiro.
[14:38] ---
    What a lovely name. I'm Mitamura.
[14:43] ---
    And for the first time I knew
[14:46] ---
    what it feels like to love someone.
[14:52] ---
    My new job requires that
    I leave this town.
[14:56] ---
    What?!
[14:58] ---
    Don't worry. I'll be back in two weeks.
[15:01] ---
    Then we can live together.
[15:04] ---
    In a home where we can see
    this small airfield.
[15:08] ---
    Yes.
[15:14] ---
    I waited.
[15:15] ---
    At this airfield that
    he loved since childhood.
[15:20] ---
    But no matter how long I waited,
    he never returned.
[15:26] ---
    You didn't happen to give him
    any money, did you?
[15:29] ---
    I did.
[15:31] ---
    All the money I saved up working.
[15:34] ---
    I see.
[15:37] ---
    You got conned, girl.
[15:39] ---
    That's when I realized,
[15:41] ---
    if I wait for two weeks at the house
    he promised, he's sure to return.
[15:46] ---
    So when I found a house from where
    I could see the airfield...
[15:50] ---
    But he didn't return.
    Then I realized again...
[15:53] ---
    I know! This must be the wrong house!
[15:56] ---
    It's another house! I made a mistake!
[15:59] ---
    Oh my, he'll be so angry!
[16:01] ---
    That's why I go from
    house to house to house waiting for him.
[16:02] ---
    DISAPPEARANCES
[16:05] ---
    Because he told me...
[16:08] ---
    that he loves me.
[16:17] ---
    Holy crap, talk about nuts!
    She's completely lost her mind.
[16:24] ---
    "House you can see the airfield",
    my ass!
[16:27] ---
    Of course he's lying.
[16:30] ---
    That Mitamura's never coming back,
[16:34] ---
    and I don't intend to find him.
[16:36] ---
    Lies.
[16:41] ---
    That's the situation.
[16:44] ---
    Isn't it a sad story?
[16:46] ---
    It's your own fault.
[16:48] ---
    But at least we know what she wants.
[16:55] ---
    It grew something!
[16:57] ---
    Those bumps are signs that those eaten
    are becoming the cactus' nourishment.
[17:03] ---
    That's right. Soon Kitaro will become
    nourishment for the Yokai Cactus.
[17:15] ---
    The Yokai Cactus' weak spot is
    its central stem inside.
[17:19] ---
    If we could only let Kitaro know.
[17:23] ---
    I'll tell him!
[17:26] ---
    Mana-chan!
[17:29] ---
    Kitaro!
[17:32] ---
    Mana?!
[17:33] ---
    Daddy Eyeball-san said to tell you
    the weak spot is the central stem!
[17:38] ---
    Mana!
[17:40] ---
    Finger Guns!
[17:50] ---
    Cactus-chan, what's wrong?
[17:59] ---
    What?!
[18:01] ---
    Everyone eaten by the cactus
    should be okay now.
[18:10] ---
    The Yokai Cactus is defeated.
    You can't steal any more homes.
[18:16] ---
    No! I have to wait for his return!
[18:19] ---
    He promised me!
[18:21] ---
    He's not coming back! He's a con man!
    A piece of trash!
[18:26] ---
    Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!
[18:33] ---
    Ushirogami!
[18:35] ---
    He would never lie to me!
[18:38] ---
    He loves me!
[18:40] ---
    He's coming back to me!
[18:43] ---
    So I have to find him!
[18:45] ---
    Where? Where are you?!
[18:48] ---
    Ushirogami!
[18:53] ---
    Oh!
[18:57] ---
    There!
[19:00] ---
    Mitamura-san!
[19:02] ---
    -I promise you the best scenery.
    -Oh my!
[19:04] ---
    Mitamura-san!
[19:07] ---
    You came back after all!
[19:09] ---
    Mitamura-san, who is this woman?
[19:12] ---
    No clue. I don't know her.
[19:17] ---
    What are you talking about, Mitamura-san?
    It's me, Mika Yashiro.
[19:22] ---
    I've been waiting for you.
[19:24] ---
    Don't touch me! I said I don't know you!
[19:28] ---
    I've got a night flight with this lady.
    Get lost!
[19:32] ---
    I'll call the cops!
[19:36] ---
    I loved you.
[19:43] ---
    I truly... loved you!
[19:50] ---
    Stop!
[19:55] ---
    That's enough, Ushirogami!
[19:58] ---
    Why do you stop me?!
[19:59] ---
    If you intend to kill this human, I...
[20:04] ---
    Ushirogami, you loved a human too much.
[20:08] ---
    It caused you to
    lose sight of your real self.
[20:12] ---
    Become your gentle self again.
[20:21] ---
    But this is just...
[20:24] ---
    Swear you'll never con another woman.
[20:28] ---
    Otherwise I can't stop Ushirogami.
[20:32] ---
    R-Right. I get it. I-I promise.
[20:36] ---
    Ushirogami, let's end it here.
[21:07] ---
    I checked out that Mitamura guy.
    He's a regular marriage fraud man.
[21:13] ---
    Some women even killed themselves
    after he conned them.
[21:17] ---
    Let's hope he keeps his promise.
[21:22] ---
    Otherwise...
[21:25] ---
    Thanks for the money.
[21:27] ---
    Once my new job picks up,
    let's live together.
[21:31] ---
    In a house where we can see the
    Ferris wheel we rode on our first date.
[21:39] ---
    So you broke your promise.
[21:44] ---
    Now we'll be together forever.
[21:51] ---
    Till death do us part.
[22:14] ---
    You're a dream
