In that case, I can't be with you anymore.
The diamond gemstones are all of you!
What do you mean "this thing", you fool!
The world you see isn't all there is.
There are things you can't see.
See? In the darkness behind you...

CHAPTER 13
DIAMONDS OF GREED! WANYUDO'S TRAP
Did you hear?
It opened in front of the station.
I know! All-You-Can-Bag super cheap diamonds!
I checked it out yesterday. Here, for you!
A ring, a necklace, and even earrings! Thank you!
According to an appraiser, their quality is guaranteed.
Oh, so you're interested, Catchick?
I guess you're a girl after all.
What's that supposed to mean?
Seriously, I don't think gender matters in thinking whether jewels are pretty or not.
True. Even I can appreciate what's pretty.
Though, when it comes down to it, they're just rocks.
And they're not romantic either.
What, Kitaro, is it heavy?
I told you I'd carry them. It's my shopping after all.
Super cheap diamonds, huh?
Huh?
Is something wrong?
Oh, I was just thinking that something too good to be true must have a catch.
Hmm. A catch, huh?
Are you okay?
I didn't need you to protect me...
What reckless driving!
Hey! We had a green light!
Sorry, sorry. If it isn't Kitaro-kun, lady Catchick, and Daddy Eyeball-sama.
Daddy Eyeball-sama?
How creepy!
Kitaro, you're hurt!
It's a scratch.
A scratch? That's no good.
You should be admitted to a premium private room in a top hospital right away.
Here, for the medical bill. Go ahead and take it.
You made some easy money with some dirty scheme again, didn't you?
Hey, don't be rude! I'm making money because my customers are satisfied.
It's philanthropy. Social contribution.
Kitaro, as my buddy, do you want in on this?
You can replace that hovel in the GeGeGe Forest with a mansion in no time.
Rat Man.
Oh? You in?
What are you up to?
Huh?
Why do I sense yokai activity from the diamond on that ring?
Huh? Huh?
I-If you're not in, I can't tell you...
You're not trying to get humans involved, are you?
Gulp!
I-I said I can't tell you.
Answer me!
Are you hurting people again?
Uh, wait. Since when have you been an ally of the humans?
Every time I see you, you talk all arrogant and noble,
but you just pick on scoundrels so the humans will reward you, don't you?
I'm not like you!
I'm not looking for anything like that!
Listen, I'm a half-yokai born between a human and a yokai.
I know all about yokai and humans, forwards and backwards.
That's why I know.
Because of guys like me,
you get to act like a yokai leader and play nice with the humans!
Do you really mean that?
In that case, I can't be with you anymore.
That's right. I'm not like you.
I'm a piece of trash to both yokai and humans.
Ghost Tribe descendant or whatever,
I'm not always surrounded by friends like you.
I've always been on my own.
Kitaro, we've known each other for a pretty long time.
We're through. Bye!
Luck's finally come my way so I invite him and he lectures me with that sullen face.
Glad I cut ties with him.
We are currently limiting entry. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We are currently limiting entry.
Thank you for coming to BiBiBi Carat Diamond today.
Today, All-You-Can-Bag diamonds for one million yen!
High quality diamonds for only one million yen!
-Diamonds! Diamonds! -Please take this opportunity!
Diamonds! Diamonds!
Excuse me! You're running out of diamonds!
Replenish them already!
Yes, right away!
Sir, this is the last of them.
Oh, I see.
Hurry up!
Yes! I'm coming!
Here, a million yen.
Looks like business is good.
Yes. Sales are booming as usual, Mr. President.
Actually, sales are so good we've run out of diamonds.
I see. Then it's about time to hold another event.
Ahem. Thank you for coming today.
As thanks for your patronage, we'll raffle invitations to an even better deal,
our All-You-Can-Dig Diamond Mine Gemstone Tour!
Diamond mine?!
All-You-Can-Dig Gemstone Tour?!
-I'll go! -I want to go!
I'll go!
Sir, what's the All-You-Can-Dig Gemstone Tour like?
Mr. President never takes any other employees on the tour.
Nobody knows the details.
I admire all of your love for diamonds.
Forget that!
When are we going to reach the gemstone digging site?
Just a little further.
Here it is.
Huh? Where is this?
-What's going on? -There's no diamonds here!
Where are the diamond gemstones supposed to be?!
The diamond gemstones are all of you!
What's he talking about?
What is this thing?!
What do you mean "this thing", you fool!
WANYUDO
Well, well. Let's see how today's diamonds look.
Ah, splendid, splendid.
The customers' glaring eyes make for a superb shine.
They must be satisfied.
They were able to become the diamonds that they desired so much.
You said it.
But, you know, I'm really glad I met you, Wanyudo.
Indeed.
I wish to consume human souls. You wish to obtain diamonds.
We are two cogs meant to fit together.
The perfect partners.
Unlike with him...
Kitaro, please.
Kitaro!
Oh, right, Dad.
Did you hear?
Everyone going on the BiBiBi Carat Diamond All-You-Can-Dig Gemstone Tour
has been disappearing one after another.
Yeah. According to rumors, they all...
"Oh wow.
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE
Diamond gemstones are so profitable!!!
Starting today I'm living carefree overseas!"
And, send.
Apparently they hire maids and live in the lap of luxury.
Human greed never ceases to amaze.
But, thanks to that, I can fill my belly with souls like this.
Thank goodness for greed, seriously.
In reality,
they don't have any idea what these stones that you can't even eat are worth.
They get swept away by other people telling them these things are good
and don't even question if it's true.
In the end, they just help spread fake information, the suckers.
This wine costs a million yen a bottle,
but how many people really understand its taste?
Not like I understand it either.
In the end, it's just a raw ingredient of pee.
You're coming with us.
YOKAI WANYUDO
DIAMOND YOKAI AND KITARO
-"I sense yokai activity." -"What'd I do?"
"I didn't see that..."
This world is made up of an infinite number of cogs.
They all fit together in an orderly and delicate fashion.
As a result, the planet continues to spin in peace.
You people are...?
But, if even one faulty cog is in the mix, the planet stops.
The control of distribution, pricing, and production of diamonds on this planet
is done by us, the One World Adamas Syndicate.
However, because of the super cheap business you started,
the international diamond trading price is facing a potential massive decline.
But if we make them cheap, people buy them and we can make a profit!
Diamonds are unobtainable. That's what makes them diamonds.
Diamonds of such quality, and in such abundance...
We'd like you to share with us where you get them.
It's in this cave.
I-It's right here.
The tour members have arrived!
What is this?!
Hold on a second! What is this?
You're kidding me! I don't want--
Why you!
Make the thing stop, dammit! I'll kill you!
Stop! Stop, stop, stop!
It's of amazing quality!
So this is your trick...
Well, er, um...
Listen! If you value your life--
Right, I'll stop produc--
Keep making them!
Huh?
We'll mass produce diamonds in this cave,
and distribute them to the world while strictly controlling the trading value.
Th-The world?
I don't think it's possible to get enough tour customers to make that many diamonds.
Miners we have digging in mines, children in poverty sold by their parents,
refugees escaping from various civil wars...
There are more than enough people in the world to use as raw materials.
Rather than mining gemstones, it'd be much cheaper to get diamonds
by stuffing those people in containers and bringing them to this country.
I don't know. That may be going a bit far...
Are you saying I can eat even more souls than I am now?
-Huh? -Precisely.
Huh?!
Very well. Keep bringing me humans!
Hey! What are you--
It's a deal.
What?!
Things are going in a weird direction...
Heave-ho.
How many of you do you think that one bullet is worth?!
The more I eat, the more I want more...
Bring me even more!
Greed is a scary thing, huh, Wanyudo?
Forget that! Haven't the next humans arrived yet?!
I am hungry!
Huh?
You just turned people to diamonds and ate their souls.
It's not nearly enough! More, more!
I can feel my stomach pressing against my back!
What the hell?! I left that guy to do heavy labor!
Silence! Stop complaining and bring me more humans!
Otherwise I'll consume your soul!
Things are getting out of hand.
I should call Kitaro and have him eliminate this guy.
No, I cut ties with him. I can't ask him now.
Besides, even if I ask him, he'd never come...
I'm Mana.
I was kidnapped by an evil yokai and trapped in a mountain cave.
Please come and help me right away, Kitaro!
Huh? But Mana just sent me...
Cat-san, a cake store just opened on 3rd Street!
As an opening special Mont Blancs are half off!
Huh? Then this letter is...
Only one person would do this.
Rat Man.
But he said he was cutting ties with you, Kitaro, didn't he?
I know. I bet he's in some helpless situation,
so he's pretending to be Mana to get you to save him.
What a hopeless case.
There's no need to go, Kitaro.
S-Stop! Calm down, please calm down!
N-Nakamura!
Nakamura was...!
When are the additional humans coming?! Satisfy my stomach!
The seas are rough and the boats are late! If you wait a little longer...
I'm hungry right here, right now!
My soul will just upset your stomach!
Satisfy me!
Kitaro?!
So that letter really was...
Letter? Wh-What are you talking about?
We cut ties. I'd never send a letter to you.
Wait... You knew and yet you...?
Why?
I came to rescue Mana, but the guy I cut ties with happened to be here.
Kitaro...
So you're GeGeGe no Kitaro! Perfect!
A soul like yours will surely satisfy this stomach of mine!
Get out of here!
But...
You'll get in the way!
Hair Needles!
Finger Guns!
I cut ties with him.
Whatever happens isn't my concern...
But...
Remote Controlled Geta!
Oh no!
Fill my stomach with your soul!
Kitaro!
Rat Man?!
I can't let you hog all the glory after all...
I'm hungry, Kitaro!
Take this!
Are you okay?
You took care of it...
You know, Kitaro...
Huh?
I'm through with diamonds.
And so, I thought I'd start up a new cryptocurrency, BiBiBit Coin!
You're in, right, Kitaro?!
-Not interested. -You hippo.
I'm not a hippo, I'm a rat! And after I was nice enough to invite you!
Kitaro! Hey!
