So cold! Winter's here, huh!
Seriously!
You are as weak as usual.
Because of your pencil-like body, you are vulnerable to cold.
Besides sensei, are you planning to hibernate?
Your fat's getting saggier.
What?
It's not fat, it's fur!
Do you not know what 'winter fur' is?
But lately, you have been getting heavier!
Hmm, dragonfly... it's a dragonfly, Natsume!
Wait, wait… wait!
Uh, hey! Sensei!
Dragonfly, wait... don't go!
It can't be helped, I guess.
Nyanko-sensei
and
First
Errand
H-Hey... stop it! It tickles.
Na-Natsume, my fur may be pretty and fluffy but that doesn't mean..
It's suffocating. Stop, Natsume!
Wah-wah! I caught a tanuki.
Tanyuki.
Wh-Who are you?
Wah, the tanyuki talked!
Ah, you're right!
Who are you?
It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. C'mon don't cry.
You shouldn't cry. Your brother's here for you.
If you cry, the one-eyed ghost will haunt you!
One-eyed?
Nyah! This is unbearable.
I can't bear them any longer.
While I still can, let's run quietly and...
dash!
Human kids are so troublesome.
You all!
If you are prepared, I will deal with you.
They are my snacks. If you don't want to get hurt...
find yourself some small beasts out there.
Heh, lowly creatures!
Do tanukis eat children?
As if. Besides, I am not a tanuki.
He really does talk!
Eh?
Who are you?
Good grief... I guess it can't be helped.
Yeah, yeah. I am a talking tanuki. Do you have a problem?
Woah!
Wow, it's for real.
It's so fluffy.
Anyway, what are you kids
doing up on this mountain?
We are on an errand!
We are going to the Michimonster!
Michimonster?
No! Mitsumonstar!
Mitsumonsto?
This is why I don't like human kids.
Anyway, we have to get out of this mountain full of ayakashi.
And find someone who knows how to deal with human kids.
H-Hey!
If you pull me that much, its suffocating!
S-Stop!
Seriously, how far did that sensei go?
Hey, Natsume! What are you looking around for? Did you spot a cute girl anywhere?
What are saying? He's not you.
What, don't say that!
You are the one who said it.
Did you see Nyanko-sensei anywhere?
Oh, Nyan-Nyan sensei?
Hmm, I didn't see him.
What, did he disappear?
Want to form a search team?
Oh, it's alright. It's always like this. He will come home sometime later.
Yeah, he will definitely return before lunch.
He eats a lot, right?
Right.
Seriously, I should have met a known face by now.
Eh?
W-W-Where did they go?
Nyoh! Stop right there.
H-H-Hey, stop it! It tickles.
R-Release me, hey!
Nyoh! Stop right there.
Hat... Hat...
Hat... Hat... Hat...
Yahoo!
Why...do I...have to deal with this?
Fly!
Oh! If it isn't Madara-sama!
What a fine weather today!
Lying down on a fine weather.
You two... I'm saved.
Again, fly...
That's right... common people can not see them.
Natsume's the one who is strange.
Bringing along human kids... are you preparing them for your snacks?
Snacks... light meals...
I am not dealing with them because I want to. Seriously!
Oh, that's right. I had a question for you.
Oh-ho, that's unusual.
We will anwer anything we know.
Anything...anyhow...
Hey, human kid. Come here for a second.
Who are you?
Where did you want to go? Tell me again.
Eh...why?
We said it before.
C'mon, just say it.
Eh... we are going to buy ham and milk!
And pakurin choco too!
Pakurin choco.
Milk?
And so we are going to mitsumonstar.
Mama said its straight ahead.
And that's why. You know what they are talking about, don't you?
Oh c'mon, that's unreasonable.
It's unreasonable, it's impossible.
You useless people.
Yahoo!
Oh yes, some time ago...
we met Hinoe-dono at the end of this road.
If it's her, she might...
She might and we pass the baton.
Sorry for the wait, Hiiragi.
Hmm? Something wrong?
No. It's just that even you like such things.
Oh, this?
From my childhood, I could never give up on this. Pakurin choco.
Seriously. It's about time the end of the road
they were talking about comes already.
Hmm?
I can't walk anymore, carry me.
Eh? No, even I want someone to carry me.
It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't hurt.
It doesn't hurt...
C'mon, don't cry. You shouldn't cry.
Nyoh! This is unbearable.
I can't keep up with this.
I am running... I will...
Carry me!
Carry! Carry!
I understand... but atleast... make it piggyback.
Carry! Carry!
Please! Please!
I think its somewhere here...
Huh? If it isn't Natsume?
Tanuma.
Out on a walk? It is warm today.
Ah, that's right, but...
I got separated from sensei.
Ponta, huh? I didn't see him while coming here.
Is that so?
It's okay. It's always like this after all.
He will return before lunch.
I bet.
There's no way that Sensei would skip Touko-san's lunch.
Seriously.
W-Where did he go?
Stop right there!
Stop!!!
Hey, stop!
It tickles.
Hurry...
Roll and roll and roll...
Nyoh!!! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Why...do I...have to deal with this?
Oh, cat statue. Quite an unusual place to see you.
Hinoe, huh? I'm saved...
Huh?
I heard you were down the road.
Huh? I was right here from morning.
Huh?!
You low creatures!
To believe what they said so easily, even you have your days, huh?
Putting that aside...
why are carrying human kids around? Are they your snacks?
I am not carrying them because I want to.
Seriously!
Oh, that's right. I wanted to ask you something.
Hey, human kid. Come here for a second.
Who are you?
Where did you want to go? Say it again.
Eh? Again?
We said it before.
C'mon, just spill it.
Well, mitsumonstar is straight ahead my house.
And it's okay to buy Pakurin choco too.
Well,well.
Okay! Leave this to me and my fortune powers.
Hm? Really?
P-Please! Only you can help me this time.
Hehe, just wait and see.
Well, everthing's ready.
Bam!
Waagh!
What's this? So weird.
What are you doing, you human kid?
Calm down, calm down.
F-Forgive them! Forgive them.
Calm down, please!
The thing you are looking for is in the direction of Gon.
Gon? North-east, huh?
Yes, and I see a person with great power helping you on the way.
Well, that's encouraging.
Well, just be careful.
That person with great power might not heed you either.
Ramen
Three Forest Store
Ramune
Oh, Natsume!
eam
Ramune
Sasada. Taki.
What a coincidence.
Yeah.
Shopping?
Well, you see...
this, Pakurin choco.
Taki said she hadn't eaten it before.
That's because I heard you can't stop after eating it once.
So what?
It's strange if someone hasn't eaten it at all.
What about you, Natsume? You have it eaten it before, haven't you?
No, but I've seen my classmates eat it.
Huh? Is that so?
Then, I will give one to you.
O-Oh... thanks!
It isn't my fault if you get addicted.
See you at school on Monday.
Yeah.
Ah, that's right!
Did you see Nyanko-sensei somewhere around here?
Eh? What about cute-sensei?
No, we just got separated while walking.
Oh, that ugly cat would come before lunch, right?
Yeah, I think so too.
But, for some reason...
I think he might be in more of a pinch than usual.
Seriously...
It's about time the powerful helper that Hinoe talked about comes already.
Hm?
I can't walk anymore.
C'mon don't cry. You shouldn't cry.
This is unbearable!
I can't keep up with this.
Hurry up help, come help me!
Oh? I thought someone was making a fuss here
and I find a mochi cake here.
Wonders do happen sometimes.
Cho-Chobihige?!
The powerful creature that will help me is you?
I have no idea what you are talking about but...
there is no one stronger than me in this region.
That means that it must be me.
How cheeky!
Besides, I am not a mochi cake.
Want to eat me? Dare to eat me?
Try it, c'mon!
If I eat such a dirty mochi cake,
I can't welcome a healthy old age, now can I?
Here, here. C'mon, yeah.
Besides, you rely on Natsume for having shelter and food.
You really are a animal through and through.
That's why you became so fat and ugly.
I am not relying on him because I want to!
Seriously.
That's right. If you are the helper then
answer this riddle.
Hey, human kid.
Who are you?
Shut up. Where did you want to go?
Say it again.
You see,
we are on an errand. I really like Pakurin choco.
We can find it in Michimonstar.
That's why we are going to buy it.
Are they talking about how bears don't come out unless you talk to them in a strange language?
It's the end of the world if these kids have such a huge problem.
If you want to say it, it would be 'Overjoyed hundred times when you see water'.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Shut up!
Then try saying something better than me.
C'mon, c'mon. Say it.
You can't? C'mon, c'mon.
Mitsumonstar, huh?
What, we need to count to three? One, two, three.
Or do we need to go to District three?
Oh!
What is that?
Mitsumori Store. Ham, cow's milk, fish cake, two Pakurin choco?
What's that?
This seems to be their first errand list.
Mitsumori
Store
Ham
Milk
Fish cakes
Pakurin
choco
Ramen
Three Forest Store
That is it.
It's Mitsumonstar!
Michimonstar!
Hey, its dangerous to just dash off. Be careful!
Seriously...
I don't know if you were helpful or not but...
Thank you, Chobihige!
I will repay this debt sometime.
You are welcome anytime.
Why are you here?
Mama!
Where did you stray away?
It's already dark out there.
I got anxious because you were so late.
Aren't you glad? Your mom was searching for you all this time.
Mama, you know... Tanyuki-san gave me a piggyback ride.
That's right! He also talks.
And he also showed us the way.
I see, I see. Aren't you glad?
Thank God you guys are alright.
Next time, let's go together.
That's right.
Oh, kitty.
Ice
Cream
Did you come for a walk so far?
Ice cream
Welcome home.
I'm home.
What is it? Expecting me?
No… uh, yes.
Welcome home.
