Gegege No Kitaro: Le chasseur Yokai

Chapter 27

(Several weeks later)

Neko (seeing Kitaro meditating in front of the lake): Kitaro-san, are you feeling a little better now?

Kitaro (stopping his meditation): Now yes. However, even today, I still cannot believe that Mizuki sacrificed himself for me and for all of us.

Neko: He had his reasons, we can't blame him. However, I am glad that this whole story has ended. Humans and Yokais can be quiet for a while.

Kitaro: Surely ... (he stood up) Okay, Sunakake gave us chores to do.

Neko: Yes, better to do them now.

(During chores)

Neko: But tell me, Kitaro-san. Did you just meditate during all these weeks?

Kitaro: Not really. I also tried new techniques and new powers but for the moment, only one power is successful.

Neko: And what is it?

Kitaro (ending his chore): Now that I'm done, I can show it to you. Nurikabe, can you come?

Nurikabe: Yes, Kitaro what is it?

Kitaro: Could you try to crush me?

Neko: What ?!

Nurikabe: Are you sure?

Kitaro: Of course. Go ahead ! (Nurikabe, not being sure, ends up doing it)

Neko: Kitaro-san !!!

Kitaro (pulling out his head): Don't worry, I'm fine. (He got out of Nurikabe and he and Neko saw that Kitaro had an elastic body while he was going out. After that, he stretched.) Ah, thanks for the demonstration, Nurikabe.

Nurikabe (confused): Uh ... You're welcome?

Neko: Kitaro-san, you idiot, don't you know you scared me ?!

Kitaro: Sorry, Neko, but it had to simulate a dangerous situation to show it. (he saw a cat) But what is this cat doing here?

Neko: Wait. (she goes to the cat and began to speak to him with a feline language and after a while, the cat leaves) He told me that he was lost in the Gegege forest and that he did not know how to go out so I told him how we get out of the forest.

Kitaro: Tell me, Neko, you never told me you had this ability.

Neko (trying to look serious but is embarrassed): Well ... you know .. I had this ability long before we met and ... It stayed ...
