Really?
That's terrific.
The tension drops.
Ridiculous
Bye for now.
He will meet Tsubasa
Hey!
What's that?
What?
Huh?
Hey.
Let's go there?
Who knows.
Hey.
Let's go.
Hey!
Where are you going at this time of the day.
Come with us?
If you like
you could also stay overnight.
Huh
What is it?
Eh?
What do you have?
See.
Eh?
Yuri!
Huh.
You may not do that, Yuri.
Let's go home.
Yeah?
Are you ok?
Yeah?
What is that?
Dogu-chan is a Youkai-hunter from the Jomon period.
Together with me, Dokigoro, she keeps fighting lots of Youkai.
Uh, we also have a slave, Sugihara Makoto, but he is not worth worrying about, doki.
This time, what Youkai will we fight, doki?
The Youkai Ningyou-Tsukai (Puppeteer)
appears.
A ghost?
Uh-huh.
It's said to appear in the vicinity recently.
Oh, yes?
When it is dark, a girl in white clothes staggers around.
Isn't it just someone who cannot sleep and takes a walk.
That might be.
There are no ghosts.
Huh?
A youkai hunter does not believe in ghosts (yuure)?
Uh-huh.
If a human dies, he/she will disappear completely without a trace at that point.
Puff!
Isn't that
a little bit sad?
Is it?
?
Uh..., excuse me!
I would like to ask you for the way.
Eh?
Yes.
3-12-...
Ah, here!
See, "Sayama"!
Thank you very much.
You are welcome.
Bye then, let's go.
Makoto!
Huh?
Uh-huh.
What's wrong?
Well, over
there ...
Huh? What?
Kitagawa?
Section chief!
How is Yuri?
Eh?
Since you are at home for one week already, with that constant attendance you have to get nursing fatigue.
Ah, if you want this.
This attention is needless. You are a complete stranger.
Wait! You don't have to say it that way?
She was so kind to bring it here.
Right?
Dogu-chan!
Who are you?
I am Dogu-chan!
I am Sugihara Makoto.
I was not sure about the way, so...
Anyway, leave me alone.
Chief!
What's that? You have a bad temper!
Pha!
Yuck!
He gave a bad impression,
but he is by no means a bad man.
His daughter is not fine.
He stays away from work for nursing?
Yes. If it goes on this way, he might also lose his position,
all say.
What is his wife doing?
I've heard that she left long before.
So he is raising her alone.
Yes.
When I was overstrained at work and didn't know what to do, he helped me a lot.
mmmm
You like him?
Huh?
You do?
No, it's not like that.
Yes, of course, that old man.
I will give it another try.
Maybe, he will send you away again.
That's fine.
So long.
She is patient.
A lot different to somebody else.
Huh?
It hurts!
Yuri, I come in.
You have to eat something.
I made okayu. It's an instant one, but...
Papa!
Huh?
Is she the one
that you talked about earlier?
Well, yes.
If you want, it's no problem for me.
Huh?
Maybe I cannot call her Mama instantly.
Uh.
I don't have such plans.
Your face became red in embarrassment.
Hey! Don't mock your father.
After eating, you have to take your medicine. I will bring it.
Yes, papa.
Phew.
We are back!
Welcome back.
Huh?
What are you reading?
The weekly newspaper.
Show me. Which one?
Uh-huh.
Wow, how trivial. This is the rumoured ghost hose.
Huh? Isn't it the house we just saw.
Eh? You are right.
By the window in the first floor a ghost of the adulescent daughter appears, doki.
It's not a ghost, there really is a daughter.
That cannot be, doki!
Why?
The daughter of that house died ten years ago in an accident, doki.
Huh?
Wait, wait, wait!
According to the neighbour, the ghost house belongs to Mr. A (51). Neighbours say that A had an elementary school daughter
who died in a traffic accident ten years ago.
Huh?
So, what I saw...
can it be
Did you see her?
Perhaps it is
What?
a youkai?
A youkai?
Dokigoro, go and identify it.
Youkai.
I'll be back.
That house smells strange.
Smells?
Is coffee fine?
Please don't fuss over me.
I will be leaving soon.
Oh.
Too bad.
Chief?
Is it ok?
What shall I do?
I will do it.
Uh-huh. Thank you.
No.
You want two, right?
How come?
At the company, it's always this.
Ah, you watched me.
I am sorry.
Maybe it's creepy.
Oh no.
It's not.
Yuri?
Uh-huh.
Cute!
No she is in high school?
Do you have a more recent photo?
Papa?
Excuse me for a moment.
Yes.
No.
It's OK.
You don't have to worry.
Eve...
Hello, I am visiting.
Yuri, greet properly.
I am sorry.
No problem.
Maybe she is surprised, because we rarely have guests.
Maybe she is angry.
Huh?
I understand her.
I lost my mother early and lived with my father all the time.
I knew that my father hesitated because of me.
I said "You should marry again"
That troubled him all the more.
You
are not?
Huh?
Forgive me
for saying superfluous things.
No, it's fine.
Oh! Adult love, doki.
Ah, that's not it. I have to do investigations, doki!
Investigations, doki, ah, investigations, doki, ah...
Ah
she is there!
Uh. She has legs.
This means,
she is not a ghost (yure).
Ah, that's it. I have to report this terrible discovery to Dogu-chan.
I will have to say good-bye.
Uh-huh.
Miss Kitagawa
will you stay for dinner together with my daughter?
Yes.
I can do the shopping.
No, it's fine.
I can make it.
So, I will prepare something with what I find in the fridge.
Thank you.
See you.
Uh-huh.
Hello? Noru?
I have found it. The title deed.
It's fine.
After getting married I will turn it into money.
Yes.
And when he finds out, we are across the sea.
Kids? He has a daughter, but it's no big deal.
Wait a minute, I will call you again.
Did you listen?
You are of poor character.
Say something!
What is this?
A puppet?
Rather than a puppet, it's like a love doll.
But I've seen her.
That's the act of a puppeteer.
A puppeteer?
Uh-huh.
Youkai identification.
Puppeteer.
A youkai acting through a humanoid and behaving like alive, doki. Since long time ago it is operating a lot of puppets, doki.
Don't tease papa.
That's enough.
Youkai Puppeteer,
get ready.
Terrible.
Be strong. Are you fine? Be strong.
Although, I don't know what's happened.
To what end do you bewilder humans? I will get even with you.
Bewilder?
That woman is bewildering him.
Huh?
Miss Kitakawa! Miss Kitakawa!
It's fine.
Anyways. Do you know how I helped that man?
Helped?
Ten years ago due to his own inattention he lost his only daughter in a traffic accident.
The discord wife kept blaming him and left the house.
Ten years passed.
If his daughter were alive, she would be in high school by that time.
It was a trival leaflet: a home delivery high class love doll.
He found the grown up face of his daughter.
See, this is cute.
I don't know well about girls clothes,
but I bought various things.
The shop keeper was watching me.
Ah.
Do you try this on?
You are tired, aren't you.
Huh.
Let's go to bed.
Huh.
Good night.
Thank you, papa!
Yuri!
I responded to his wish.
I gave this dead-hearted man
happiness in life again.
Do you want to kill me anyway?
Do you want to steal the happiness of a weak human?
No matter how happy he thinks he is, after all, it's a lie.
A lie will be exposed sooner or later.
Dokidoki wave!
You will regret it.
I'm back.
Good bye, papa.
My breast is full!
Yuri! Yuri!
Yuri!
Yuri, it will be fine immediately.
It's a dilemma.
What to do?
Mother!
Mother, it's terrible, Yuri is broken. Make her stand up again.
Yuri, I am sorry.
Ghosts,
are there really none?
If somebody dies, is it the end?
Yes.
If a human dies, it's over. They disappear without a trace.
Isn't it sad?
It's not to drag out.
Huh?
They say you don't disappear in order not to prolong the sadness of the people left.
Dogu-chan.
Good night!
Yuri, is it yummy?
Eat a lot! Don't hesitate.
What a wonderful moment. Mother came home too.
I am the happiest person in the world.
Am I not?
Itadakimasu!
Yumm
It's good! Mother, thank you!
Yuri, eat the yoghurt!
It's yummy!
Yummy!
Good bye, Dogu-chan!
Huh? Dogu-chan died, doki!
Makoto, do something!
Next time the youkai Pion (Beep) appears.
It will bring a lot of trouble.
Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Janken ... Scissors!
Humans are all lonely.
