U- What!?
U- …Mu…? That, that face
U- Oi, isn’t that ‘Natsume’?
U- Na…
U- Natsume you mean… that ‘Natsume’!?
U- She collects ayakashi’s names and has legions under her command…
U- The holder of the ‘Book of Friends’…!?

13
K- …’Book of Friends’? I’ve heard of that
K- Those that have their names written in it become caught in a master-servant contract…
U- Gyaaah
U- Help
h/w- sigh…
N- It really isn’t my thing to beat people up though
M- How can you have the face to say that?
Sfx bubble- rustle
K- …It has my name on it
K- Please make me your servant
K- I’ll defiantly be useful

14
N- …I don’t want it
K- Is it because I’m weak?
K- Because I won’t be useful?
N- I don’t want to tie us together like this
N- We’re not a master and servant are we?
N- I think we have
N- A different relationship

15
K- A different…
K- That night, Natsume and his friends got in a big box like a caterpillar
K- And returned to somewhere far beyond the mountains

16
K-…If I become stronger, maybe Natsume will accept my name one day, mother
K- So… I want to get stronger
K- One day I’ll be useful, more useful than that ugly cat…
K- I don’t really understand what Natsume said
K- But when I think about it my heart gets in a flutter
K- What’s our different relationship?
K- What is it, I wonder?
