Gegege No Kitaro: Le chasseur Yokai

Chapter 17

( While Medama was telling the story, the girl and her family took her to the police station )

Girl: But what happened to make you look like that?

Medama-Oyaji: When humanity began to multiply, the ghost tribe began to suffer unprecedented famine, which eventually exterminated it little by little. I couldn't save my wife and also Kitaro's mother, Iwako. Knowing that it was my turn, I had to use a technique to reincarnate on my eye if ever I were to die and... You know the rest.

Father: I see ... You must have gone through so mush.

Medama-Oyaji: And how! But Kitaro also suffered a lot. He explained to me that, despite Mizuki educating him as it should be, he had to go through the mockery and also this terrible moment when he lost his left eye.

Mother: But did you tell him what happened to the ghost tribe?

Medama-Oyaji: Yes. I told him he was the last survivor of the ghost tribe. He had a hard time accepting before finally doing it .... (he saw the police station) Ah, there we are.

Girl: Are you sure this will go well for you, to save your friends, alone?

Medama-Oyaji: Being tiny has its advantages. This is how I escaped from many situations.

Nezumi-Otoko (arriving): Hello, Sir,Mrs. and Little one, I would like to know ... (he saw Medama ) Medama-Oyaji, what are you doing?

Mother: Mr Medama, do you know him?

Medama-Oyaji: Yes, he's an acquaintance. ( he turned to Nezumi) Nezumi, we don't have time to explain. Kitaro has been kidnapped, Neko is nowhere to be found and Nurikabe, Ittan and Sunakake have been sent to this police station.

Girl: We would like help to distract the police so that Medama can go and free his friends.

Nezumi-Otoko: Ah .... (sighing, turning to the girl and her family) I imagine I can help you for free, since you want to help friends of mine. So who will be the distraction ?(the girl, her family and Medama looked at him) (sigh) Okay, I got it.

(In front of the police station)

Nezumi-Otoko: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Please approach my stand. I have all kinds of goods and all for the price of 20 Yen.

Policeman (1): Hey you!

Policeman (2): Do you have a license to do this?

Nezumi-Otoko: But of course, here it is! It is the best in my market. (he threw a kind of smoke bomb and fled)

Policeman (1 and 2, coming out of the smoke): Hey, come back here.

Nezumi-Otoko (being chased): Medama, you owe me one.

(And during this time, the girl and her family entered the police station with Medama hidden in the girl's pocket)
