Gegege No Kitaro: Le chasseur Yokai

Chapter 14

Heion: At least, for sure, he won't hurt anyone anymore.

Mugai: Good.

Medama-Oyaji: Son, it seems that now you and Neko; are going to have better days at school.

Neko: Without Kunomi, that's for sure.

Kitaro: Father, Neko, I'm not sure. We are still accused of having killed students of the school even if ...

Student (1): Uh ... Gegege No Kitaro,... (Kitaro turned to him)

Student (2): We all know that you and Neko had killed some of our colleagues but ... You see, we would like to make a final tribute for them so that they can reach the afterlife and, after a short reflection, we would think you could join us, you, Neko and maybe even your family.

Kitaro: Really?

Neko: You didn't wrongly accuse us a short while ago?

Student (3): Listen, we don't say that we forgive you completely but after Nuobi protected you and Kunomi confessed everything about his facts, we realized how wrong we were on your case .

Student (4): And then, Gegege No Kitaroand and Neko-Musume, you had saved us from Yinikin when she had been getting out of hand so ... Are you coming for the funeral?

Kitaro: If that's what you want, ... I think me and my family can come.

Neko: I would be there too.

(The other students were grateful)

Student (5): But do you know where the funeral can be held?

Medama-Oyaji: Well, young Yokais, I and my son know the ideal place ...

(Once arrived in the cemetery of the Gegege forest)

Kitaro (looking at his mother's grave with the trace of blood on the edge of the tombstone): It is sure that it is the ideal place to prepare the dead to the afterlife.

Medama-Oyaji (seeing the students and their families arriving): Kitaro, they are coming.

Ittan-Momen (going to the students): Here, young Yokais and their families, the cemetery is right in front of you.

Sunakake-Babaa (Idem): You can sit wherever you want before the funeral begins.

Nezumi-Otoko: And for each place taken, it will be 15 Yen.

Sunakake-Babaa (pinching Nezumi-Otoko'sear): But I'm catching you trying to start swindling again, you dirty rat!

Nezumi-Otoki: No, not the ear, ouch!

Kitaro: Neko! No troublemaker around?

Neko: At the moment, no. I will continue to watch.

Teacher: Gegege No Kitaro, I appreciate your contribution to these funerals, you, Neko-Musume and your family, but are you sure you will be able to carry it out?

Kitaro: I admit, Professor, that the first time I did a funeral was for my mother, who died a long time ago, and I was embarrassed. After that, I got used to it.

Professor: I see ... But in fact, Gegege No Kitaro and Medama-Oyaji, you never told us what type of Yokais you are.

Medama-Oyaji: Well, Professor, we are the last survivors of the ghost tribe.

Professor: Interesting. However, we arewaiting for you to start.

(So ​​Kitaro went in front of the whole class and their parents waiting for him to start)

Kitaro (beginning the prayer): 魂を 失 う か も し れ ま せ ん 、

私 の手 に よ っ て 不当 に 殺 さ れ た 人 々 、

一 緒に 来 て 、 あ な た の 記憶 を 尊重 し て く だ さい。 (Let lost souls,

those who were killed unjustly by my hand, Come together and let's honor your memory. )

(And there, the ghosts of the killed students arrived in front of Kitaro as well as in front of the whole class and their families)

Kitaro (continuing):  あなたの死の本当の責任は危害を回避してきました、そしてあなたのすべての友人や親類があなたの最後の旅行のためにあなたを準備してサポートするためにそこにいます。( The real responsible of your death has been putting out of harm's way and all your friends and relatives are there to prepare and support you for your last trip.)

Mugai: Wow, Kitaro is really impressive for ...

Heion, his father and his mother: Hush, Mugai, please.

Kitaro (ending prayer): 高馬 ヶ 原 が あ な た を 歓 迎 し ま す よ う に。(May the Takama-ga-hara welcome you.)

(And so the ghosts of the dead students gathered in front of their families and friends for a last farewell and disappeared)
