Natsume Yuujinchou
Kotae no nai hibi ni tameiki morasu tabi
Somedays, feeling lost, I can't help but let out a sigh.
答えの無い日々に ため息もらすたび
Honto no boku wa mo mienaku na chatta
It's like I couldn't even see the real me.
本当の僕はもう 見えなくなちゃった
Mimi o sumashite mo kikoenai kimi no koe
Even when I listen hard, I couldn't hear your voice.
耳を澄ましても 聞こえない君の声
Oikakete kyo mo aruki tsuzukeru
I keep chasing after you, today too, moving forward.
追いかけて 今日も歩き続ける
Tsutae rarezu ni itta omoi toki o hete sanagi ni natte
My feelings for you just keep building up into a cacoon.
つたえられずにいった思い 時を経て蛹になって
Hane hiroge yagate tobitatsu
One of these days, it will burst free and soar.
羽ひろげ やがて飛び立つ
Wasurenai taisetsuna hitotsu hitotsu
I can't forget those moments, each one, each one.
忘れない大切な 一つ 一つ
Todoku ka na kono omoi douka itsuka
Just hope that my feelings will reach you, somehow, someday.
届くかなこの思い どうか いつか
Chippokena kono boku ni dekiru koto
Small things, that even I can do.
ちっぽけな このぼくにできること
Sukoshi zutsude mo tsutaete mitai nda
Little by little, you'll feel my thoughts for you.
少しずつでも伝えてみたいんだ

Natsume, look!
Lightning! Lightning!
Quiet please, I'm trying to do my homework.
Oh? You sure you're not afraid?
I can't concentrate like this. Draw the curtains-
That struck somewhere in the forest!
The Broken Mirror
This isn't where we usually take a stroll.
It's always by the school, right?
Where are you going, Nyanko-sensei?
I'm going to find that tree struck by the lightning.
Lightning? From yesterday?
You're being too curious.
You ignorant fool!
[ sake: rice-based alcohol ]
Centuries old trees that were struck by lightning may produce excellent sake!
This is common knowledge among youkai.
Furthermore, it's a "chance" for free sake.
Over there! Let's go! Natsume!
Wait up, Nyanko-sensei!
Jeez, where did you go?
Sensei!
Voices? What is this?
It's up in the trees...
It's sparkling...
It's sparkling?
You're right.
Is that...
Could it be...
They're right. Something is sparkling up there.
Oww!
Damn, something got in my eye.
Natsume?
What are you doing here?
Tanuma?
And you?
It's a shortcut.
I see.
Also...
I somehow keep hearing voices around here since yesterday.
Voices?
A moment ago, the lower-ranked youkai did seem to be fussing over something...
Natsume, you're really amazing.
But it didn't feel that way.
He was frantic.
And it sounded like he was searching for something.
Searching for something?
Something is coming.
Nyanko-sensei?
No!
Natsume!
Tanuma!
Tanuma? Are you okay?
Y-Yeah...
What was that?
Just a gust of wind?
I'm grateful, Tanuma.
But don't use yourself to protect me!
It'd be bad if something happens to you!
Yes... but it'd be bad too if something happens to you.
Yeah.
Now, this is awkward...
It's hard to keep a distance when you finally found a friend you don't have to hide your secrets from.
Good stuff!
Simply heavenly.
TL Notes: Tanuki is loosely translated as raccoon.
A raccoon youkai!
Who are you calling a raccoon?!
Oh, it's Natsume's cat, Nyanta-sensei!
If you're not going to learn my name, just call me "Sensei"!
Jeez, where have you been, Nyanko-sensei?
Drinking, of course.
You're dead drunk!
Only a monster won't get drunk after drinking!
What's a youkai talking about "monsters"?!
Youkai and monsters are different!
Okay, I'll head off first.
Okay.
Bye.
See you tomorrow.
Though my life is still intertwine with youkai,
having a friend to share it with, makes me happier.
It'd be great if Tanuma feels the same way too.
This headache...
What is it?
I don't like this.
Natsume-kun.
Good morning.
You look sleepy.
Taki, morning.
I'm glad to see you.
I've the pictures from the Culture Fair.
I was just about to find you.
The Cultural Fair?
Here.
That's the wrong one!
Someone forced me to take that one.
This is the one.
You looked cute.
I looked tired.
Good picture, isn't it?
Thank you.
I've one for Tanuma-kun as well.
He's sleeping with his mouth open.
It's taken when he's resting in the backstage.
Can you pass it to him?
Sure, leave it to me.
Year 2 Class 1
Tanuma!
Natsume!
11th Oct Duty Nakai, Kitamoto
Kitamoto.
Where's Tanuma?
He's sick today.
I heard he has a cold.
A cold?
Um, how is Kaname-kun?
You came to visit him? Thanks.
His fever has broken.
But it'd be terrible if it catches on to you.
He'll most likely be in school tomorrow.
Tanuma is usually easily affected by youkai.
Could this be related to yesterday's incident?
Possibly... But that's because he's weak.
It's not your fault.
But he was protecting me...
My "bodyguard" was drinking himself silly.
What?!
Blame yourself for getting separated from me, idiot!
What did you say, you fat cat?
Why do you care about that wimp?
Stop calling him a wimp!
Wimp! Wimp!
Tanuma! Morning.
Are you okay now?
Was it really just a cold?
Yeah, but I haven't fully recovered yet.
So we should keep a distance for the time being.
See you!
Sensei, what's the matter?
Oh, Natsume.
The mirror shattered all of a sudden.
An old mirror, I guess.
There are so many fragments.
I'll get-
I thought I saw somebody here just now.
Was it my imagination?
Natsume, is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
This has to stop...
I've been associating everything with the youkai lately.
I hope Tanuma will get over his cold soon.
- The Next Day -
How's your cold?
Sorry, not yet.
- The Day After That -
Tanuma!
Sorry, I've to go to the teacher's office right now.
Year 2 Class 1
- The Day After The Day After That -
Tanuma's here?
15th Oct Duty Tanaka, Hashimoto
Yup.
He was here a minute ago.
Tanuma?
Tanuma!
Why did he dig a hole?
What's happening? My right eye...
I found you.
Where am I?
The school's backyard?
Why is there mud on my hands?
Natsume!
What's wrong?!
You all right?
Tanuma...
I'm okay, but my eye hurts.
Eye?
More importantly,
what were you hiding?
If there's something bugging you, tell me.
Alright.
Sorry, I didn't mean to avoid you.
I've been feeling lethargic since then...
But there's no sign that I'm possessed.
I didn't want to alert you for no reason.
It might just be a cold.
But, when I came around just now,
I was at the school's backyard, covered in mud.
That's the first time it happened.
I see...
So?
Your story?
Me...
Telling you certainly takes the load off my chest.
Keeping yourself bottled up feels terrible, right?
You're right.
The truth is, that day...
[ ikayaki: BBQ squid ]
You want some ikayaki?
Ikayaki, I want you.
I want you.
I'm so happy!
You're choking me! You crazy girl!
You're choking me!
Then all of a sudden, the pain.
But it's not painful now.
Also, there's a youkai with a hammer in the school's compound.
I don't know if they're related.
I see.
What's that?
Yeah, I heard that too.
It might be that youkai with the hammer.
You better not tell me to "go back first".
No, I won't.
In this room?
Step back.
What? Didn't I ask you to step back?
I did.
I'm just taller than you.
You saw him?
Yeah, vaguely.
He broke another mirror?
That fella, just what-
Natsume?
What's going on? What's that sparkling...
The pain stopped.
This fragment's from a bronze mirror?
Tanuma, this...
Give it back...
Give it back to me.
I've finally found my mirror.
Give it back!
Tanuma...
Wrong, it's the youkai possessing Tanuma!
Give it back!
Stop it!
Tanuma, sorry about that.
Not bad for a mere human.
Leave Tanuma now!
No, I can't do that.
Why not?
Because my mirror is broken.
I was struck by the lightning while searching for a friend.
I wanted to search for the fragments, but I was recovering too slowly.
So I possessed the child.
Tanuma was digging holes because he's searching for the fragments?
I had a hard time getting that mirror.
I'm not giving it up so easily.
The mirror will hide itself in shinny objects.
And one of the fragments is hiding in your eye.
When it is near to the other fragments,
it will resonate, and you'll feel the pain.
Come, give me back the mirror...
Give me that eye!
Stop!
Tanuma!
No matter what, I'll be staying in this body for a while.
What did you say?
Tanuma-kun!
Don't worry, I won't possess him for too long.
But, if you want him back safely, you'll have to help me, kid.
With that fragment in your eye, you'll have no problem locating the rest.
Once you return the mirror to me, I will leave.
Bullshit!
Nyanko-sensei?
I've enough of you troublesome pests.
Leave now!
Not yet...
I will never leave until I have the mirror.
Tanuma!
Even my light can't make her leave - quite a stubborn one.
Tanuma-kun!
Tanuma!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I heard most of it...
You'll leave once we collected all the fragments for you, right?
Yes, that's right.
That's the safest way.
You were driving her out a minute ago!
If I really wanted to, I can still drive her out.
But if do that, Tanuma might be damaged mentally.
Are you fine with that?
That's right.
You just need to find all the mirror's fragments.
Tanuma?
I still feel like this body isn't my own.
Natsume, sorry about this. Would you help me find the mirror's fragments?
Of course. We'll do it together.
Thanks.
Can I help too?
That'd be great, Taki.
But how should we go about finding the mirror?
That youkai said that when you're close to the fragments, you'll feel a pain.
If my right eye hurts, I guess there'd be one nearby.
I first felt the pain in my eye at the school's backyard.
Therefore, one of the fragments must be there.
Let's check it out.
I'll get the scoops and shovels.
Yes, please.
This is where my eye started hurting just now.
Oww...
It's right here.
Here?
Should I start digging?
Are you okay?
Just wait, Natsume.
I'll find it right now.
What are they doing?
Who knows.
Practicing for a play?
There it is!
No, that's...
What? It's just a piece of glass?
Because it's a youkai's mirror, people can't normally see or touch it.
Then how do we find it?
Tanuma-kun?
There!
I knew it...
I can't see it.
The youkai told me it was under the glass.
The pain is gone too.
No doubt about it, this is it.
That's great.
Thank you.
I wonder if it would fit with the other piece.
They joined together!
Amazing...
What? What's going on?
Okay. Natsume, what's next?
Let's look around a little more.
This is going to take a while...
He says it's around there.
Flowerbeds Seedings
Oww...
It's over there, there.
Here?
Okay.
They're still doing it?
Looks like it.
Let's continue tomorrow.
Yeah, that's right.
Maybe it's because of the youkai residing in me, I'm beginning to understand...
...how the youkai feels.
I see.
The mirror is very important to her.
It seems like her friend is sick, and that mirror has the power to dispel sickness.
Something like that.
For a friend?
And she also warned me...
Warned you?
The mirror is very powerful.
There are other youkai looking for the fragments.
She wants us to be careful.
Other youkai looking for the fragments...
Nakushita nukumori o hitotsu hitotsu narabete
The warmth once lost are slowly returning...
なくした温もりを 一つ一つ並べて
Irotoridori no kimi no kakera wa waratta kao o egaita
Together with pieces of your colorful smile.
色とりどりの君の欠片は 笑った顔をえがいた
Omoide no tsukurikata mo marude umaku naranai mama ni
Memories can't be created, however nice that would be.
思い出の作り方も まるでうまくならないままに
Ashibaya ni sugiru toki no nagare ni tada mi o makasete
Only eroded, by the rushing passage of time.
足早にすぎる時の 流れにただ身をまかせて
Doko ni ikeba ii kono yami no sakide mata
Where should I go, when I'm at the end of a dark alley?
どこに行けばいい この闇の先でまた
Nando sayonara ieba ii
How many times do I have to say goodbye?
何度さよなら言えば良い
Hoka ni kokoro no naka de hikatta
It's glistering deep in my heart...
ほかに心の中で光った
Harukana kimi no kakera
Far away, the pieces of you.
遥かな 君の欠片
What the Mirror Shows
Natsume, is this the world you see all the time?
Get out of Tanuma!
He's a dear friend.
I have friends too.
But why did he leave without a word.
I bet he has his reason?
Even so, I want to save him.
Watch us next time!
You want some ikayaki?
Ikayaki, I want you.
