Gegege No Kitaro: Le chasseur Yokai

Chapter 19

Medama-Oyaji: But ... What are you doing here?

Kunomi: I was about to create the most powerful army of young Yokais and you and your "son"ruined it. Now you and this traitor of Neko and my old comrades will pay for it.

Medama-Oyaji: You are making a serious mistake, young Mujina. Your group is dispersed because of you. Even if I die, Kitaro will come and won't let you continue this madness.

Kunomi: I'll be gone before your "son"arrives, since he's rotting under the ground. Just die now !!

(For a while, Medama avoided Kunomi's sword but he ended up blocking him. And when he was going to finish him...)

Kitaro (throwing one of his sandals at Kunomi): Remote Controlled Geta!

Kunomi: ?! (he blocked the sandal but...) What ?! How... ? You were buried alive, I saw you before my own eyes.

Kitaro: Hair Needles !!! (he pulled his hair, transforming into thorns of steel, towards Kunomi who blocked some of them. Despite this, certain thorns of steel pierced him and made him expel from the house. As he got up, Kunomi fled)

Medama-Oyaji (Overjoyed): Kitaro!

Kitaro: Stay safe, Father. I'm going to end it. As if I could die buried according to him.

Medama-Oyaji: Wait! (he looked at the light near the cemetary in the distance) It's Neko and the rest of Kunomi's group. They'll all be killed if we don't act.

Kitaro: I'll take care of it. (he rushed towards the place with the light while the rain was hittinghard. He faced Kunomi who was about to give the final blow to Neko and his old comrades) Kunomi!

Neko: Kitaro-san!

Yinikin: Kitaro? You are alive ?

Nuobi: But how did you survive your burial?

Kitaro: I was born in a cemetery.

Kunomi: Shut up, all of you. (he turned to Kitaro) You can't bear to see that the idea of a coexistence between humans and Yokais is impossible, huh? All because you are naively following this fantasy invented by your own father and you deny your Yokai side. And you had to corrupt my friends as well as Neko-Musume with your utopia, didn't you?

Kitaro: I warned you that if you continued on this path, it would end badly. You did not listen. Yinikin and Nuobi begged you to leave Neko and me alone because it was going too far. You only did it as you wished. I didn't need to corrupt anyone for your friends to go against you. Everything that happened came because of you. Last thing: Coexistence between humans and Yokais is possible, just difficult to achieve and if I have to protect humans from Yokais as dangerous as you, then so be it. Free your friends and Neko and go away otherwise ... I'll kill you.

Kunomi: You will try.

(The two stared at each other and after a time, Kunomi rushed towards Kitaro. He wrapped his chanchanko on his right arm and gave a blow to Kunomi's belly but he counter-attacked. After a moment, Kitaro pulled out some hair and threw them like shurikens. Kunomi avoided it and grabbed him by the throat)

Kunomi: You missed. (Kitaro gave a discreet little laugh) What's so funny ?

Kitaro: I wasn't targeting you ...

(And there, Neko, freed by Kitaro's hair, attacked Kunomi from behind)

Neko: Let go of my friend Kitaro-san! (she clawed and planted her claws on Kunomi before sending him against a tombstone. She put her hands on Kitaro's shoulders) I ...I'm really happy to see you again, Kitaro-san.

Kitaro: Me too.

Nuobi (released by Kitaro's hair): Kitaro ....

Yinikin: Make him pay! It is too late for him.

Neko: Kitaro-san, can I also make him pay?

Kitaro: Gladly! Let's put an end to this!

Kunomi: I'll kill you all in this damn place !!

(Neko took its monstrous form and, with Kitaro, attacked Kunomi. And after a while, Kitaro and Neko immobilized Kunomi, with Neko who fiercely scratched Kunomi's ribs and Kitaro who launched a lightning bolt attack at him in full force)

Kitaro (pointing his finger like a gun at Kunomi): I gave you a chance and you wasted it. Finger Gun! (he drew a laser from his finger and pierced Kunomi in the head who later disintegrated. Yinikan and Nuobi left with a disappointed look for their former friend)

Medama-Oyaji (arriving): Kitaro, Neko. Are you ok ?

Kitaro: Aside from having to kill him, we're fine.

Neko (cuddling Kitaro and biting his ear): And all of that is thanks to Kitaro-san if we're safe. Thank you.

Kitaro: But Neko ... Ouch, you contributed to our safety too.

Medama-Oyaji (embarrassed): Okay, you two, what if we come back home?

Kitaro: Good idea, Father.

Neko (still cuddling Kitaro and biting his ear): Thank you, Kitaro-san.

(So they went towards the house.)
