Natsume Yuujinchou
Chapter 31

02
U- I’ve come to get you, I’ll stay by your side
N- …what?
U- I find sad hearts deliciously sweet
U- So I thought to myself that it might be fun to have a pet human
U- You’ll be a little human who does what I say
N- …! What are you…
U- Come now

03
U- You’re lonely, aren’t you? Let’s go together, Natsume
N- Stop it!
N- I was so careless, speaking to an ayakashi like that
N- Even though I was trying not to involve myself with them
N- Why is an ayakashi…

04
N- …I thought
N- It helped me
N- I thought it was being kind to me…
Sfx- clatter
N- Ha
N- No way
N- It followed me?
N- No, I was careful to shake it off so it couldn’t…

05
N- At this rate
N- I can’t go anywhere…
N- I’m off…
U- Geez mum, it’s fine
U- No it’s not, put your scarf on properly
U- It would be awful if you caught a cold
U- …Then you should do it for him too…
U- Eh? …But…

06
N- Good, he’s not here
N- I have to make sure it doesn’t know where I live
N- I wonder if there is a way to chase it off
U- ‘Even though you can see ayakashi, you know nothing about them’

07
N- …done
N- Will this work?
N- Oh yeah
N- I’ve never done anything like this before
N- Because nothing good has ever come of me getting involved
N- …but
N- If I could chase that ayakashi away
T- Hey, Takashi-kun

08
T- Why don’t you come and live with me?
U- Oh?
U- Looks like it rained yesterday
U- Certainly, from the colour of the clouds
U- Shall we go fishing by that rocky stretch?
N- Hey
U- Oh? I haven’t seen you before
N- …I was chased away by humans, quite far from here
N- I thought humans were weak, but…
U- Ooh, sounds like you’ve had it tough
U- They’re weak, but they know no fear!
N- …I wonder if those weak humans
N- Have a way of exorcising ayakashi?
U- No idea
U- Oh yeah
U- Near the fox stone up yonder, there’s a hole from where long ago a priest failed in sealing an ayakashi

09
U- Seems like there were a few guys who were interested and went to see
U- But newbies should stay away
U- …hm? You smell like a human
N- What…
U- Oh
U- I knew it, you’re a human child aren’t you?
U- Trying to trick us boy?
N- Uwah
U- Ah, wait boy!
U- How imprudent
U- Hey, wait…
N- …failed
N- I knew it, at this rate

10
N- At this rate…
T- Natsume-kun
U- …Natsume
U- Natsume
U- Natsume
h/w- Ha
U- I chased away those weaklings for you
U- You’re grateful, aren’t you Natsume?
U- You’re really an interesting piece of work
U- What were you trying to accomplish?
U- I’ve been following you since this morning, you’re fascinating

11
N- Then last night that really was…
N- No, it knows where I live!
U- Come Natsume, let’s go together
N- …that’s…
U- Oh, do you intend on going home?
U- …Natsume
U- Were they really all good people?
U- There were ones who drank and then hit you
U- And ones who pretended they’d forgotten and didn’t feed you
U- Kids will be kids
U- When they all get together they can be so cruel, can’t they?
U- It’s not right, is it?

12
U- I thought that humans
U- Were supposed to love children unconditionally
U- So I wonder, why are you not loved?
U- You
N- Shutup!
N- It’s because I’m not normal!
N- Isn’t it obvious!?
N- It looked into my heart
N- It’s obvious no one would want to bring someone they don’t understand into their precious family!
N- So
U- If that’s the case
U- Then shouldn’t you just come with me?
U- Can you really go home
U- If no one is waiting for you?

13
N- …you obviously don’t understand
N- But it’s a big deal if a human child disappears
N- If I don’t go home
N- The people who were looking after me will come under all kinds of suspicion
N- I may not have anywhere to go
N- But I
N- Can’t just selfishly disappear either
U- …I see, how troublesome
U- I know, if that’s what you’re worried about
U- How about I just eat them all?

14
N- No!
N- You can’t!
U- But if I don’t you won’t come with me, will you?
N- No!
N- Please, I’m begging you, no!!
U- Then come with me
U- I’ll let you go home for today
U- Say your goodbyes
U- So you don’t cause them any trouble
U- Huh? Takashi-kun?
U- What are you doing here?
U- If you’re late coming home you’ll be scolded by mum again
N- Ah, I’m sorry
U- …what happened? You’re covered in dirt
N- …Sorry
U- Sorry for the way they’re always acting
U- They’re so insensitive…
N- Not at all
U- …Shall we go back together?

15
N- …okay
U- Are you going home?
U- Even though no one’s waiting for you
N- …I have to think
N- …what
N- Should I write…?
N- What should I do
N- To disappear without hurting anyone?
U- I’m home
U- Oh? Dad’s shoes, he’s home early
U- …we
U- …yeah

16
U- …isn’t it? Then we’ll be free of the burden
U- You said it too didn’t you?
U- He’s a good kid… so if they take him in without asking too many questions
U- But its weird isn’t it, why did such distant relatives appear all of a sudden?
U- Don’t you think they’ll just ask for the rearing expenses later?
N- …distant relatives…
U- Hm? Did something happen?
h/w- slide
U- Ah
U- Oh, welcome home
U- …Oh Takashi-kun, what… happened? You’re quite dirty…
N- Ah… sorry
U- Huh? Four cups… did we have guests?
U- Eh? Well… yes
N- …distant relatives?
N- Guests?
U- Come now, go wash your hands
U- …mum…

17
N- Fujiwara-san came
N- She really
N- Came
N- …I want to go
N- With them
N- I want to go

18
N- Ha
N- Ha
N- I’ll chase it off
N- No matter what, I’ll get rid of it
N- I won’t disappear, I’ll thank them properly
N- And go
N- Ha
N- Ha
N- Ha
N- Ha
N- They said there was a hole for sealing ayakashi
N- At the fox stone was it!?
N- After I find it, I have no idea what to do
N- But I’m not going to keep getting swept along
N- I’ll do something
U- Oh? A human child
U- This late, all the way out here?
N- Ha
U- Looks like fun, I’ll tease him a bit…

19
U- Gyah!?
N- Tell me, where is the fox stone!?
N- Do you know of the hole used for sealing ayakashi!?
U- Hi, what’s with this one, it’s not scared of us even though it’s human!
U- Creepy, let’s go
N- Tell me
N- How do I seal it?
U- Waah
N- Please
N- Please…
N- I’m scared
N- But
N- Please
N- Listen
N- To me…
U- Natsume –
U- Natsume – come on out
U- What are you doing on this cliff?
U- Don’t tell me you believed those rumours from this morning
U- Even if you try to lose me, I’ll find you
U- Now come on out
U- A child like you cannot seal an ayakashi
U- You really are an interesting fool, Natsume…

20
U- I thought I’d dote on you for a while
U- But you’re too full of yourself
U- I’ll show you a bit of pain
U- Now come on out
U- Come on
U- ‘…A method of sealing?’
U- Natsume –
U- ‘Why would we know something like that?’
U- ‘See that cliff?’
U- ‘There’s a hole up there, and something like a talisman stuck to a lid that has fallen in there’
U- ‘The priest probably damaged it or something’
U- Come out
U- Or else I’ll eat them
N- Ah

21
N- WAAAAAAAAA
N- AAAAAAAAAH!
U- Gi
U- Ah

22
U- Why you…
N- ! Did I get it!?
U- You
U- You
U- Natsu…
N- …I did it…
N- I did it! I can go there
Letter- Seal
N- I can go to their…
N- Ah…

23
U- …my, what is wrong with that child!?
U- Running off to the mountains in the middle of the night… why is he always causing so much trouble?
U- …Calm down
U- He’ll be hospitalised for a week!?
U- Honestly, even though that couple finally said they’d take him in
U- How will we convince them to take such a freak?
U- Oi…

24
N- I guess that’s true
T- Dear dear
T- Takashi-kun is sleeping
F- Ah
F- Be quiet, you’ll wake him up
T- Oh, yes…
T/F- Ah
N- …Fujiwara-san…?
F- Look, you woke him up
T- You’re the one who raised your voice, Shigeru-san!

25
F- Takashi-kun
F- If you don’t like it, you can leave whenever you like
F- But right now, you need a place where you can calm down and think
F- Our house is big and frankly, with just the two of us, it’s a little too quiet
F- Please come with us
Y- Ah, you mustn’t get up
N- …I want to go
N- To your house
N- …please

26
N- Please…
N- Plea…
N- Se…
N- …Ah

27
N- I must open my eyes
N- I’ll make them worry again
N- There are people waiting for me
N- I have to hurry
N- Home
N- Hurry…
U- I found you
U- I found you
U- Get away, that’s mine

28
M- Sorry, but currently he’s mine
M- Give up and go home
M- I don’t think he would be interesting to you anymore
U- Then I will make him sad again
U- He escaped me, although he is a mere human
U- I won’t forgive you
U- Natsume
U- I won’t forgive you!

29
M- …The place where it was sealed must have had some construction or something
M- Guess it got dug up
M- What a retarded ayakashi, getting sealed by an amateurish child
M- I chased it off
N- Eh…
M- Go to sleep Natsume
M- You’ll be scolded by Touko

30
N- Yeah
N- Thankyou, sensei
N- Thankyou… Nyanko-sensei
h/w- I’m home…
T- Ah, Takashi-kun, you’re awake!?
T- Thank goodness…
F- I’m back… hey, Takashi!
F- Don’t be playing around with Nyan-goro, you should be resting
N- So,
N- Sorry!
U- ‘You’re going home? Even though nobody is waiting for you there’
N- I don’t
N- Care anymore
N- I have a place I can go home to
T- Ah, Takashi-kun
T- You’ll be late!

31
T- You forgot your lunch!
T- And your scarf!
N- Ah, sorry
T- No leftovers, eat it all properly
T- Come home safely
N- Okay
N- I’m off
