Kitaro: But ... I would like to know, where are Sunakake, Ittan and Nurikabe?


Medama-Oyaji: They are in the secret hiding place of the house. The trapdoor is right there.


(Kitaro opened the secret hiding place)


Kitaro: Are you okay?


Nurikabe (cared for by Sunakake): Much better now.


Ittan-Momen: Ah ah, Kitaro. you made it out alive.


Sunakake-Babaa: Like Medama and the others, I almost believed that ...


Kitaro: (chuckling) I'm fine and I'm glad you are all okay.


Neko (seeing the girl and her family in the hiding place): Say, Kitaro. The girl with these adults would not be .... ?


Kitaro (idem): You?


Girl (happy and sobbing and  threw herself on Kitaro's arms): Kitaro! You are alive !


Kitaro: Yes, it will be fine now. (she let go) I'd like to introduce you to someone. (he pointed to Neko)


Neko: I'm Neko-Musume, Kitaro's new friend. (she saw the girl's hat) And what are you wearing on your head?


Girl: Hihihi, it's a hat I'm wearing.


Father (coming out of the hiding place): So it's you, Kitaro, our daughter's old friend?


Mother: She told us a lot about you. If you knew how much she missed you.


Kitaro (looked a little embarrassed): Yes, me too ... Nice to meet you anyway ... (he turned to the girl) Hey, can I speak to you in private?


Girl: Of course. (she turned to Neko) Glad to have met you, Neko-Musume. (she followed Kitaro to a isolated corner while Neko looked a little worried)


Kitaro: Look, ... For what happened during the school party .... I ... I didn't mean to ...


Girl: Kitaro, ... You were pissed off, these bullies had hurt you for a long time but it was not the fact that you cracked in front of them that saddened me the most. What saddened me the most was that I almost lost the nice boy in you when you tracked them down and almost killed one in cold blood.


Kitaro: I'm sorry ... I imagine that since I'm not a human like you thought from the start ...


Girl: It doesn't matter if you aren't, Kitaro. For me, I still love you for what you are and that's all that matters to me. (she saw Kitaro smile a little) So, if you want to know, my name is ...


Ittan-Momen: Oh, but things are happening between you, as far as I can see.
