Shiro's the only family I have left.
The world you see isn't all there is.
There are things you can't see.
See? In the darkness behind you...

CHAPTER 6
THE MISFORTUNE OF THE SUNEKOSURI
Tch-tch-tch. Shiro. Shiro.
Over here, Shiro.
More this way.
Over here.
Boo!
There, there, Shiro...
I bought you something special today.
Here. Doesn't it look yummy?
What? You're not going to eat after all?
Honestly, where do you get food all the time?
Oh, my...
Shiro!
Honestly, you're such a little rascal.
Hey, you home?
Yo.
Sho! What is this all of a sudden? You never even called all this time.
I come home and I'm getting scolded already?
I'm not about to welcome a son who just ran off to Tokyo.
You're still mad about that?
If you're going to come in, first offer incense sticks to your father.
Will you get off my case? I was about to do it.
What's this?
This is Shiro. We've started living together recently.
Shiro's the only family I have left.
What? That's stupid.
What would you know abou--
What? Did you catch something from living with a dirty cat?
You didn't have to kick me out! Hey!
Go back to Tokyo already!
That's nice to hear!
Who'd want to come back to a village like this?
Seriously, that old lady is always...
Dammit.
Oh, Sho-kun?
You're Masae-san's little Sho-kun, right?
-Hello. -What have you been up to?
Nothing much. Just doing odd-and-end jobs.
"Oddanen"? That sounds complicated...
Well, I know work must keep you busy,
but, ever since you left, Masae-san's been pretty depressed.
Really?
It's already a quiet village, but now there are fewer and fewer people.
See over there? Uchimura-san passed away last winter.
Not only that, he was in a rather strange state.
They found him looking like a mummy.
A mummy?
Oh, see you later, Sho-kun!
Wait. Let me on!
A mummy...
You're that...
Well, well, what's today's letter?
What's this? Hmm... Oh?
Rat Man, what are you doing?
Someone's asking you to get rid of a yokai.
Don't worry. I, Rat Man, won't force you to go on your own, Kitaro.
You're coming, too?
Of course! Under the blue sky, sweating for people and the world! That's my--
-Let's go. -Yes.
K-Kitaro!
Are you Sho-san?
What? Does that mean you're Kitaro?
Kitaro is me.
Are you sure, kid? I know your guardian's here, but...
I'm Kitaro's father.
What?!
We've got the same eyes.
"Eyes"?
I'm Kitaro's manager.
O-Oh...
Well, isn't this a lush, green, or shall I say, tasteful place.
It's quite wonderfully drab.
You mean it's the boonies, right?
Oh no, I'd never...
By the way, about our retainer...
Huh? This much?!
Hey, don't step out of line!
Don't pay him any mind.
Now, Sho-san, let's go.
Uh, actually I'll be waiting at the inn in the next village.
Come get me when you've driven off that yokai.
-But... -I appreciate it!
His own mother's in danger, and yet, how cold.
Are you trying to cheer me up, Shiro?
My cold's pretty stubborn this year...
You're the only one who remains as my child.
That cat, huh?
Well, they seem quite close.
It's probably just an act. Cats are nothing but trouble.
They're cruel and violent and have no compassion. Disgusting.
Kitaro!
Why are you with that human?
If you won't speak, I'll have to use force to keep you and Masae-san apart.
Keep us apart?
Why are you trying to take Mom away from me?!
She is my mom!
Nonsense. What are you planning for Masae-san?!
If she's with you...
Masae-san will die!
She'll die...? Don't lie to me!
She's already getting weaker!
She just has a cold!
No! It's because you're draining her energy!
Her energy? What are you talking about?
Could it be...?
Don't you realize? You're not some normal cat.
You're a yokai that drains humans' energy, Sunekosuri.
Wh-What?!
Doesn't that ring a bell?
Has touching a human made you feel better? Has a human that was with you ever died?
The pain...
Someone...
Oh, you...
Impossible...
Then the reason Mom is getting weaker...
It's not my fault! I won't believe it!
Wait, Sunekosuri!
Oh, Shiro, welcome back.
What's wrong? Come in.
Here. Come here.
Shiro... Where are you going?!
Shiro!
GEGEGE SONG
YOKAI SUNEKOSURI
"I sense yokai activity."
"I didn't see that..."
It's open...
Masae-san is...
She might be drained of energy and collapsed.
Excuse me!
She's gone...
FAMILY JOY! HAPPY CURRY
Masae-san has gone missing.
Shiro... Shiro...!
WARNING! BEARS!
Shiro, if you leave me too...
Did the old lady really go into these mountains...?
She must be going after the Sunekosuri.
That Sunekosuri. Let's hope it doesn't do anything rash...
But, is it possible for someone not to realize that they're a yokai?
Hmm. It looks like this village used to be thriving.
It probably drew energy from numerous random people without realizing it.
I get it. As time passed, the number of people passing through decreased...
If it continued to draw energy from a single human,
things like this would be inevitable.
Please, Shiro...
Shiro?!
Mom!
That voice...
That way!
Shiro?
Shiro... Is that you?
Shiro... It's you, isn't it?
Thank goodness.
I was so worried.
Mom...
No!
Sunekosuri!
Mom!
D-Don't hurt m-my mom!
S-She is my family. She doesn't belong to you!
If you're going to haunt someone, haunt someone else!
You can haunt me. But not Mom...
Anybody but Mom!
Sho, you...
Mom, stay behind me.
You've finally found me out.
Old woman, listen closely.
I'm a yokai that devours humans' energy.
And you were ignorantly calling me, Shiro, Shiro...
Tricking a sad old woman like you
was easy!
Y-You. How dare you!
Even so, you're still my Shiro.
You're my precious, sweet Shiro.
Y-You really are a hopeless old woman.
If I'm really that precious to you,
then...
Then I'll finish by devouring every last trace of you!
Sunekosuri!
Die!
Help me!
SHIRO
Thank you so much. You saved us.
No, I didn't do anything.
Our job here is done. Sho-kun, the rest is...
Oh well, I guess I'll come visit when I'm not busy.
Without me, this old lady gets sad and might get haunted by a yokai.
I'm happier without a good-for-nothing son like you around.
-What?! -What of it?!
So, about our yokai extermination fee...
-Let's go! -Whoa! Huh?
H-Hey, K-K-Kitaro!
Goodbye!
Shiro...
Thank you...

Perhaps the truth lies In what you can't see
