Kotoko: Gokokuji-kun!!! This way!

Kotoko: Hello!!! // This is definitely the place to get the best Mapo tofu to try cooking!
Tosuke: Would the customers be interested, // in trying some of the newest tofu type!
Kotoko: Wow! // Thank you so much!! / I love tofu so badly!
Kuro: ... // Here you go Kasuga-san.
Kotoko: Huh? Are you sure you don't want some Gokokuji-kun? (Small: Bon appetite! )
Kotoko: Tofu is good for your body you know!

Title: Spoiled belly.

61
Tosuke: Fail.. Again.. // Forgive me, customers...
Kuro: Toufu Kozou*!! // You're the Tofu-Kozou right? // [ If people turn into mould when eating your tofu, that means... ] [TN: *Toufu-Kozou can also be translated to Tofu apprentice]

[Toufu-Kozou He materialises on the dusk of a rainy day, offering Toufu to a passerby. Once you eat that, your whole body will be covered with mould. He wears a big umbrella and carries a basked made of red fallen tree leaves to collect tofu in. Even though he is quite incompetent Ghost he is portrayed often on paintings.

Tosuke: Oh WOW! How did you know?! // Who are you ...
Kotoko: You knew all along, didn't you !!! Gokokuji // As I should had expected !!!
Tosuke: ....


62
[The next day]
Kuro: mm it's pretty ok !! // I don't see why this Maapo was so unacceptable to the teacher!! Kasuga
Kasuga: because You put some Mandragora in it... Thanks to you I have to do the cleanup...
Kuro: There was no way to stop you from adding the natto, it was horrible..
Kotoko: Are you looking for a fight!!!? (small:Get up your ass and help with the cleaning! )
Tosuke: Umm... excuse me ..
Kotoko: ! // same as yesterday !!!
Kuro: Oh / Toufu-kozou !
Kotoko: I, I won't eat it anymore!!! (small: the awful tofu)
Tosuke: ....
Kotoko: Ah! // N-No there is no need to kneel... (small: sorry)


63
Tosuke: I beg you !! // Please heal me!! // I'm .. ! I am just a nuisance to the master because I suck so bad..
Kotoko: !
Kuro: !
Tosuke: I keep making doff again and again, but still everyone who eats it gets mouldy....... // Look! Its even growing on the tofu.... ghaaaa...
Kotoko: ....
Kuro: c-calm down! // Its because your making poisonous doufu that you're called the Toufu-kozou. / Or to say you make a meat steamed bun without the meat taste...
Tosuke: I want to become a normal apprintice!!
Kotoko: ...
Kuro: ...
Tosuke: ... // To tell the truth, ...

64
Tosuke: I have been in the care of a certain // Toufu master.
Kotoko: ... // Can demons and humans really live together? (small: Amazing.. )
Kuro: If they hide their physical differences then it is possible, But it'l be dangerous if they're true nature is revealed.
Tosuke: ... // I hid my real eye.. // Because I have only one eye it stands out so I covered it and drew substitude ones
*sff: lookie:
Kotoko: Wow! I had NO idea they're fake!!!! (small: What about blinking?)
Tosuke: Father tofu maker... of course doesn't know about my situation.. /He just thinks I am another apprentice who run away from home.// I asked for a apprentice position in his store... // But for some reason I am unable to help out...
Kuro: I see... I see...


65
Tosuke: Somehow.. its really motivating
Tosuke: At all cost I want to repay the old man..
Kotoko: You hate to owe right?...
Tosuke: Old stubborn man!
Kuro: [oh that sounds fun~]
Tosuke: This right here is my chance!!! // Dad is getting old .. he eats breakfast twice and when watching dramas on tv, he forgets the names! // Lately he has been starting to call me with his sons name / "Tosuke"!! // So thats why // I will inherit the shop!!
Kasuga:You're really planning to succeed a olf fashioned jaanese dough store!!! // You idiot, Tosuke!!

66
Man: You got the ratio wrong, Again!!!
Tosuke: I'm sorry, dad.
Kotoko: How on earth is that a doddering old man?
Man: I am going to Pachinko ... (small: You're in charge.)
Tosuke: Yes, boss!! // Oh! // You came early Doctor!
Kuro: Hey!
Kotoko: Psst... didn't you get it mixed up ?
Tosuke: Mixed up? What ? (small: is it something delicious?) // Well anyway, from tomorrow dad will leave to a 1 month holiday trip. // So before he returns, / do you think I will be able to make good tofu?
Kotoko: hmmmm... // I don't know ...


67
Kuro: Lets give it a try!!
Kotoko: It seems like your "father" is a rather strict man.. // Gives somewhat a bad vibe, if you ask me! / He's so strict towards Tosuke... // While he himself keeps spending time on trips and in the pachinko!!!
Kuro: Kasuga!!! It's boiling over!!!
Tosuke: You're mistaking // ... That was lying .. // He keeps saying he is going to the pachinko, // but really he is going to the hospital.


68
Tosuke: It is getting pretty bad... So probably the so called "trip" // is admitting himself to the hospital... // haha... // Seems like .. // were the lying father and son ... / we just keep hiding things.. // ... // The real "Tosuke", fathers real son // died.. quite some time ago .. // And probably dad doesn't have much long left either... // Thats why // I want to make him feel wordless.. to feel safe ...
Kuro: *pats on the shoulder* // It'll be ok ! // We'll make the // best tofu in whole Japan!!


69
Tosuke: T-thank you !! // Kuro-sensei...
Kotoko: I will also do anything I can to help out!!
Kuro: REALLY!? Kasua-san!!
Kotoko: mhmh! so just let me know // [?]
Bottle label: Medicine for intestinal disorders
Kuro: Little ghost moulds live // inside the toufu-kozou's body


70
Kuro: those little mould bacterias react to the soy beans // they start to spread like wild fire // some research // and we'll come up with a alternation
box: make // eat // fail
box: make // eat // fail
box: make // eat // fail
box: ... // ... // ..!


71
Kotoko: ... // ... its impossible // no mater what we do .. // there is always the mould
Tosuke: ...
Kuro: ... // Kasuga-san... // maybe we should try adding breast milk... / It might be our only chance..
Kotoko: NEVER!
Kuro: Aaaaah ... the shape and texture is almost perfect by now .. but .. the taste is awful .. // [... e? ... tofu .. milk / .. milk ] // THATS IT ! MILK!

72
Kuro: just you wait Tosuke! // I'll definitely save you !!
Tousuke: Dad...
Man: ! // Tousuke! // Why... whay are you here... // Didn't I tell you to look after the store!!
Tosuke: Dad!
Kuro: ....


73
Tosuke: Here...
Man: !? // Why is this tofu all green and pearly .... / Tosuke.. did you make it?
Tosuke: Dad, would you taste it?!
Man: ....
Kotoko/Kuro: *gulp*


74
Man: DELICIOUS!!
Tosuke: !!!
Man: Good job
Tosuke: !
Man: You did really well Tosuke! // As expected of my son !!


75
Tosuke: ... // ... mmm... // I'm // I'm ...
Kuro: Did you know there was mould living inside "blue cheese" ? Inspired from that I made the mould inside tofu work for us instead of trying to get rid of it.
Kotoko: And by the looks of it, it was a success!
Kuro: Its all thanks to Kasuga-san! // Because I was thinking of breast milk = milk products
Tosuke: Kuro-sensei! // Wait up Kuro-sensei! // What I want to say is .. thank you Kuro-sensei! / I'll do my best and try to take good care of dad's tofu shop! // As his human son...


76
Kuro: I don't think there is need for that Tosuke..
Tosuke: huh?
Kuro: Your dad has already realised it. // The fact that you're a Ghost! // Just now, even thought there was no reflection in the window glass, // while you were standing in the doorway; he was not surprised at all... // He quite knows it already
Tosuke: huh? then .. why ...


77
Kuro: even so he was very pleased // It does not matter if you're a ghost or a human. You're not a replacement for his dead son. // Its you, // Who he loves so deeply // [Its was the real you who he loved. ]


78
Man: What a small tofu you have there // Come! // I'll train you! // I'll teach you how to make real tofu..... Just come will you // Stand up straight, is it cold?
Tosuke: .... // Thank you Kuro-sensei. // Thank you, // Dad.. !!
