Natsume Yuujinchou Special Arc 05

01
K- In this forest, there’s nothing I don’t know
K- The fields with wild strawberries, the valleys with mushrooms
K- I wonder if it’s still there
K- The treasure I found
Natsume Yuujinchou
Special Arc 05
The Natsume Book of Observations
K- Ah
K- There it is
K- That thing was blown here by the wind three days ago
K- I’m sure it’s what humans call a hat
K- Haha, it’s white and pretty like snow
K- If I touch it, it might disappear
K- Actually I want to take it home and show it to mother
K- Instead I’ll collect flowers and go home
Sfx- rustle
B- What, you’re still here chibi kitsune?

02
K- Kyaaah
B- Weaklings are an eyesore
B- Hurry up and get out of the forest or you’ll meet a nasty fate
B- Ah dammit, he’s only good at running away
B- Even though he was too scared to move until recently
K- There are some violent ayakashi in the forest
K- Till a while ago
K- All I did was think about my mother who passed away and cry…
K- I’m home mother
K- Then one day when I was being bullied like always
K- A human flew in like the wind and saved me
K- A benevolent human who commands many ayakashi and has an ugly pet cat
K- But he

03
K- It’d be good if we could meet again some day
K- Returned to the human town
K- Humans and ayakashi are different
K- …I wonder if we’ll see each other again…
K- Boys don’t cry!
K- I decided to get strong so one day I can be useful to Natsume
Sfx- Drip
Drip
K- Kyaa –
K- Mother is getting wet
K- Ha… oh no
K- I wonder if that hat is alone getting wet too

04
K- Won’t anyone pick you up?
K- If not, want to come to my house?
K- It really is pretty
K- I’ll take it home and show it to mother
K- I want to show it to Natsume too…
D- Natsume?
D- You mean that uppity brat of a human who can command ayakashi?
D- You like humans even though you’re ayakashi?
K- Eh!? Kya -!? A monster!!
D- Hmph… you’re the kitsune cub who lives in Kusunoki aren’t you?
D- Oh yes… chibi kitsune, I have a medicine that can turn you into a human
D- If you swallow that you might be able to meet Natsume
K- Eh!?
D- I’m hungry, if you feed me three tubs of fish I will give some of it to you

05
K- Wha…
K- I can see Natsume!?
D- Good good, that’s the third tub
D- Look, here’s the medicine as promised

06
K- Thankyou!
K- Oh yeah, I have some herbs too
D- Herbs?
K- Your back paw is injured
K- This grass works really well
K- Alright
K- Gulp
K- …? I don’t feel any…
D- Wahaha, foolish kitsune you were tricked
K- Eh…
D- It’s because you are so foolish you are always alone
D- Natsume has surely already forgotten you. Farewell

07
D- You won’t turn into a human but with that medicine humans will be able to see that form for a day
D- If you want to see him it’s only a matter of going isn’t it?
K- Yeah
K- Alright
Box- A T-shirt he found
K- If I go to the town where Natsume lives I’m sure I can follow his scent
h/w- I’m still a kitsune, if not a very good one
K- I’m going, mother!
K- That’s right; I just have to go see him
K- I’ll see him
K- And tell him I missed him

08
K- When I decided I wouldn’t just cry alone anymore
K- Somehow
K- I became a little stronger
K- Just once, mother took me to the humans’ town
K- Where to pick up fallen money, how to buy a ticket
K- How to ride the train, where to walk
K- She taught me all kinds of things about the human world
K- Back then I didn’t understand

09
K- But I’m sure it was for the day
K- When I, left behind alone, would grow up and disguise myself as a human
K- There are lots of smells in the town

10
K- How do I find Natsume’s smell?
K- Ah
R- Tsk, quit running around you brat
R- Dear dear, are you okay?
R- What are you doing all alone? Where’s your mother?
K- I’m fine by myself
R- Ah
K- I want to
K- I want to
K- See Natsume
K- Where?
K- Where?
K- Natsume…
K- its Natsume’s smell!!
K- He’s here
K- He’s near
K- I can see him

11
R- Come on Natsume

12
K- Good, Natsume seems happy
K- He looks like he’s having fun
K- Good
K- Good
K- Even if I’m not around
K- Natsume isn’t lonely
K- The lonely one
K- The lonely one
K- Is me
K- Ah

13
K- Wait…
K- …Wait…
K- ‘Natsume has surely’
K- ‘Already forgotten you’
N- I knew it; you are the kitsune from back then
N- What’s wrong? What brought you to this town…?

14
K- Ooh…
N- Wah
N- What’s wrong? Are you lost?
K- Why?
K- I tried so hard so I could meet him
K- Even though I didn’t cry and tried my best
K- Why am I crying warm tears?
N- I see…
N- You came to see me
N- Thankyou

15
N- You’re amazing
N- When I was little, even when I was lonely
N- I was scared
N- And I didn’t know what to do
N- So there might have been a lot of things
N- I didn’t notice
M- …What?
N- Nothing
N- I’ll take you back; I have to remember the way
N- Next time I’ll come and visit you
K- Yeah
K- Mother

16
K- Somehow, whenever I’m with Natsume
K- I become a cry baby
K- I never understand the things Natsume is saying
K- But when I grow up I’ll understand right?
K- My heart will grow strong right?
