(The next morning, at school)


Kitaro (looking inside his locker): (sigh) And off we go. It reminds me of bad memories of the human school.


Medama-Oyaji: The rascals. they forced your locker open and ruined everything inside.


Kitaro (closing the locker): In this case, if it's supposed to be a joke, it's clearly not funny. (he felt a hand touch his shoulder) ?!


(He turned and saw a Yokai resembling a badger in front of him. He was also accompanied by two other Yokais, who resembled a dog and a spider respectively)


???: So it's you, Gegege No Kitaro? The famous Yokais hunter? I saw you more imposing than that. Did you like the new decor in your locker?


Kitaro: If this carnage is supposed to be a joke, Mujina, it didn't make me laugh. Can I know who you are ?!


???: (he chuckled) We are playing smart, as far as I can see. I am Kunomi and yes, I am a Mujina, a Yokai with the appearance of a badger. I also present to you my two colleagues Yinikin and Nuobi.


Medama-Oyaji (looking at Yinikin and whispering to Kitaro): Kitaro, in terms of the type of Yokais, Yinikin is a tsuchigomo (he turned to Nuobi) and Nuobi is an Inugami.


Kitaro (whispering): An earth spider and a dog god respectively for Yinikin and Nuobi ...


Yinikin: Uh, excuse us, Kitaro, but ...


Nuobi: Who are you talking to?


Kumino (catching Medama): And what is that little thing supposed to be? Your pet?


Kitaro: Give him back to me !!!


Kunomi: Oh, why? Is this little thing so important to you?


Yinikin: Kunomi ...


Medama-Oyaji (struggling): Of course I'm important to him, cheeky kid. I am his father !!! (Yinikin and Nuobi looked surprised)


Kunomi: Ah, really? If that's the case... (he threw Medama-Oyaji against a locker and landed on Kitaro'shands)


Kitaro (holding unconscious Medama onhis hands): Father, are you okay?


Nuobi: Oh Oh ... Kunomi, I think it was a bad idea to have done that.


Kunomi: Ah yes and what will he plan to do? He is unable to save his own father and claims to be a Yokais hunter.


Kitaro (staring at Kunomi with ahateful glance): I sincerely hope that you will not continue down this path, Kunomi. Otherwise, it could end badly for you. I swear.


Kunomi (having a mocking tone): Well, that's what we'll see when that time comes. Come on, you two, let's get out of here. (he left and Yinikin and Nuobi followed him with an embarrassed look).
