Natsume Yuujinchou
Chapter 30

02
N- Ever since I was small I have sometimes
N- Seen strange things
N- As other people cannot see them they are most likely
N- What you would call ayakashi
Ni- Natsume
N- Hm?
Ni- Gimme your tamagoyaki
N- Ah
N- Gimme back my protein!
Ni- No, don’t you feel sorry for poor old me with only melon bread for lunch?
Ki- You know

03
Ki- Your lunch is always emanates love, doesn’t it?
N- Yep
Ni- Say Natsume, how many times have you transferred?
N- Eh
Ni- Well, you seem to have had it pretty tough, but you’re so straight laced
N- Eh
Ki- Oi, Nishimura
Ni- Eh, ah…
N- Ahaha
Ni- Ah
Ni- Don’t laugh, I was asking seriously
N- Sorry
N- Back then, I thought if I behaved badly, I wouldn’t have a roof over my head anymore

04
N- I think that servile attitude came across in my actions
N- I’m sure I wasn’t cute at all
N- I kind of understand now
N- Not to hold back unnaturally from eating
N- And just say ‘it’s delicious’
N- Maybe I should have tried eating a lot instead
T- Welcome home Takashi-kun, did you eat properly?
N- Yes, it was really delicious
T- Oh?
T- You left the parsley
N- Eh? But parsley is…
T- Uh-uh, come on, eat up
N- Okay…

05
N- Ugh… bitter
N- I’m back sensei
N- Touko-san made us some pudding
N- Nyanko-sensei?
N- …out drinking again
Sfx- knock
Knock
Knock
Knock
N- Wah!!
N- …! Ayakashi…
N- Did it come to have its name returned?
U- Psst
Psst
N- …it’s saying something…
N- Now I look closer, is it wearing a mask…?
U- Psst
Psst
N- What does it want, I have a bad feeling…

U- …you
U- Found you
U- Natsume
U- Found you
N- What!?
N- …I know… this voice…
N- It unlocked!?
N- S, stop it
N- Go away!
N- No
N- You can’t come into this house
U- Natsume
U- Long time no see

07
U- I won’t let you run anymore
U- Natsume
U- Natsume
M- I’m ba…
M- Mu?
M- Who’re you, let that go!!
U- Hah
M- Ah
M- Tsk, it’s good at running away…

08
M- …mu? What’s wrong Natsume?
M- Natsume!?
T- Oh dear…
T- You have a fever
T- Please just rest today, Takashi-kun
T- Let’s go to the doctor’s first thing in the morning
T- Takashi-kun?
T- I’m going to run to the supermarket and the chemist
T- I’ll be right back, so you look after Takashi-kun for me okay, kitty?
M- …Geez, you’re such a pain
M- Being affected by an ayakashi of that level

09
N- …sensei?
N- Touko-san…?
N- …Shigeru-san?
N- …huh?
N- …sensei?
N- Nyanko-sensei?
N- That’s weird…
N- No one’s here…?
N- …Touko-san?
N- …Shigeru-san…?
N- Sensei…
N- …This is weird…
N- Am I dreaming?

10
N- …Get a hold of yourself
N- This is a dream that the ayakashi is showing me
N- I remember that ayakashi’s voice
N- …That one is…
N- I’m sure that ayakashi is…
Sfx- clatter
N- Nyanko-sensei!?
h/w- Ha
U- What are you searching for?
U- There is no longer anyone left in this house
U- Natsume
U- I ate them all

11
N- Wah
N- Waaaaah!
M- Gyaah
N- …ugh…
M- Don’t jump about all of a sudden idiot!
N- …huh? Where’s Touko-san?
M- She’s out shopping for you
N- Eh!? This late at night…?
M- its fine so just go to sleep
N- …okay
M- What is that ayakashi?
M- Do you know it?
N- What…
N- …yeah
N- I met it once, before I knew you

12
N- In the house where I stayed before here
N- Some… stuff happened…
N- Back then I still didn’t
N- Understand ayakashi very well
N- …Ah, I still don’t
N- Really understand them at all
N- That goes for
N- Ayakashi
N- And humans too
N- …no…
N- I don’t want to sleep
N- I’m sure I’ll see that dream again…
M- Natsume
M- Natsume?
M- …Geez
M- You really are a pain

13
N- It was
N- A little before I came here
N- Back when I never thought
N- That days like these would come
N- Hah
Hah
Hah
U- Wait, human’s child
U- You saw me didn’t you?
U- I’ll eat you, human’s child
N- Stop it! Go away!

14
U- Ah
U- Wah
U- Ow… what the hell?
N- …Sorry…
U- Ah
U- You okay? What was that?
U- Um…
U- I think his name’s Natsume, he’s kind of weird
U- His home life is complicated… well, he’s been passed around
U- Seems he’s become pretty emotionally unstable
U- …But didn’t he look like something was chasing him?

15
U- Yeah, it seems like at first the adults are worried
U- But there’s actually nothing there
U- Sometimes he bolts all of a sudden
U- Or talks to himself, or screams without warning
U- W, wow, even though he looks so polite
U- Well anyway, he’s kind of…
U- Creepy, right…
U- Wait
U- Boy
N- …What should I do, he’s so persistent
N- I can’t go home like this…
U- Climb a tree
N- What…?
N- …Who was that?
U- That guy can’t look up very well
N- A voice from above…?

16
h/w- Where are you –
h/w- Where did you go –
N- Are you the one who saved me?
U- I didn’t save you
U- I just wanted to see him miss out on his meal
N- …Ayakashi really are bullies
U- Even though you can see
U- You know nothing about ayakashi do you?
N- Don’t make assumptions
N- It’s not like I want to see them
N- …oh yeah
N- What’s your name?
N- If you don’t mind
N- Could you teach me about ayakashi?

17
U- You’ve gotta be kidding, what will I get out of it?
N- I guess you’re right
N- But
N- Thanks for helping me
N- Seeya
N- I’m back
N- Sorry I’m late
Note- Out shopping. Please mind the house
N- Shopping huh…
N- Ah, the window is open…

18
N- Wah
N- Ah, hey what’re you doing?
N- Crap, if this is the kind of ayakashi that brings misfortune…
N- Even though I’ve already caused so much trouble for them
N- C, come on now, out
N- Go away, don’t climb up there
U- …I’m home
U- Sorry, Takashi-kun
U- I had to drop my son at cram school on the way
U- …I’ll make dinner right…
N- Get out
U- Ta
U- Takashi-kun!?
U- Kyah!?

19
U- …What happened…?
N- …um…
N- …nothing…
N- …Sorry…
U- He’s not a bad kid, is he?
U- No, but today too…
U- He’s kind of scary…
U- He messed up his room…
U- Leaving him to mind the house is…
U- If he causes a problem…
N- Sorry
N- …um… sorry
N- I’m going to go for a walk
U- Eh? …this late? …don’t catch a cold
N- Okay

20
N- They can’t see it anyway
N- I should have just let such a small one be…
N- …without studying about them at all
N- I’m an idiot
N- …Thinking…
N- Thinking maybe I could do something for the people of that house…
N- That’s just meddlesome
N- But
N- No one
N- No one
N- No one can see, so
N- No one will understand, so…
N- Brr
N- its cold…
N- But
N- I don’t want to go back…
T- Natsume-kun?

21
T- Are you Natsume Takashi-kun?
N- …um…?
T- You just came out of that house didn’t you?
T- Um… where should I begin…
N- Uh, um…?
T- Ah, I’m sorry
T- I wanted to come and see how you were doing…
T- Oh dear
T- I’m so happy now I’ve seen you
T- I’m Fujiwara Touko
T- I’m a distant relative of your father’s…
T- …Where are you heading at the moment?

22
N- …a walk
T- What?
T- It’s dangerous to be out this late
T- Please go home
N- …its okay, I’m fine
T- It would be terrible if you caught a cold
T- Head on home
N- …She has
N- Such a warm voice…
T- …Could it be… you don’t want to go home?

23
h/w- Ha
N- No… it’s not that…
T- Takashi-kun
T- If you would like
T- Why don’t you come live with me?
T- ‘I won’t push you if you don’t want to separate from your current house, but…’
T- ‘Sorry for springing this on you all of a sudden. But… please think about it’
N- She was a kind person…
N- But

24
T- ‘Why don’t you come live with me?’
N- …Why would she say that...?
N- She mustn’t know much about me
N- There were a lot of people who were kind to begin with
N- No, they were probably all good people
N- But
N- I don’t want to see
N- The disappointment in their eyes anymore
N- I don’t really
N- Want to meet kind people anymore
N- Huh?

25
N- We meet often
U- …This is only the second time
N- …Yeah
U- What’s your name?
N- Eh?
N- Natsume
U- Fool
U- Nothing good comes from giving your name to an ayakashi so easily
N- What
N- …then don’t ask
N- You’re such a bully
h/w- Giggle

26
U- You’re lonely aren’t you?
U- I like lonely people, they’re fun to watch
h/w- giggle
N- …Do you know
N- A way to stop seeing ayakashi?
U- I don’t
N- …I see
N- …Thanks then, see you

27
N- …If I stopped being able to see ayakashi
N- Maybe I could…
N- Why am I thinking of such convenient things
h/w- sigh
T- Takashi-kun

28
H/w- Haha
N- Wah!?
N- Uh, um… Fu, Fujiwara…san
N- Ah
N- Oh yeah
N- I wonder if this person, is really a ‘person’
N- I wonder if only I can see her
N- …But
T- I’m intruding on you again
T- I’m sorry
T- But I want to express my feelings to you
T- We’re really distant relatives
T- And you might not be able to just up and leave
T- …My house is
T- A bit far from here

29
T- I live together with my husband, Shigeru-san
T- Just the two of us, in a kind of old, but quite spacious house
T- But there are no children in our house
T- We’re often talking about how with our age, pretty soon the house will be empty
T- And then recently
T- I heard about you, Takashi-kun
T- Takashi-kun, please come to my house
T- If you don’t like it you don’t have to force yourself…
T- But if you come

30
T- That big house will surely become lively again
T- I’ll come to see you tonight with Shigeru-san
T- So please think about it
T- Please…
N- …Is she really human?
N- Am I the only one who can see her?
N- …but…
N- She wants me to come to her house…
N- …Can I…
N- Really go?

31
N- I…
U- Natsume
N- Ah
U- I changed my mind, I’ll teach you about ayakashi
N- Huh?
U- I told you didn’t I, I like lonely people
U- I like watching them suffer
U- I’ve come to get you; I’ll stay by your side
