"Rin Pyo Toh Sha Kai Jin Retsu Zai Zen." "Go back where you belong, little monster." "This isn't your home." "What?" "There's more?" "Wait up, little monster!" "Of Roses and Goblins" "If you listen closely, you should be able to hear" "The faint voice calling out to you" "Yes, deep within the thick woods of three thousand worlds" "Someone is screaming out to pry open the night" "Secret world, let's go to help beyond the veil" "Close your eyes and fly towards an invisible world" "Of the past, of the future" "Secret world, secret world" "Kantaro!" "How's the monster-hunting going?" "Are you making any progress yet?" "I guess so." "How's it been going for you?" "We found two while we were cleaning the lobby." "And a few in the dining room also." "There's just no freaking end to these guys." " Hey, Kantaro?" " Yeah?" "What's the deal now, Haruka?" "You're not planning to charge her for our work as well as for your own," " then pocket all the money yourself, are you?" " What?" "No!" "No, I wouldn't go and do a shady thing like that." "The most important thing now is to return the little monsters to the world where they belong." "Trying to figure out what's causing this phenomenon means I can't even think about anything else!" "Well, back to work, everyone." "Kantaro, wait!" "I was right." "So for the time being, my employees are still being possessed, and this phenomenon with the strange noises continues?" "Yes." "It's as if a steady stream of monsters somehow keeps pouring into your mansion from some other location." "Until I can locate and do away with the source of the problem, these occurrences will continue unabated, Ms. Sakurazawa." "How unfortunate." "But please, rest assured!" "Kantaro Ichinomiya, the foremost ghost hunter of our time, will get to the bottom of this." "You can count on it, ma'am!" "Your help is most appreciated, Mr. Ichinomiya." "What are you doing, Haruka?" "You have to knock before entering a lady's room." "Here's that stuff you wanted." "You need anything else now?" "Haruka!" "The requested papers." "Well, thank you." "So your name is Haruka?" "Are you really going to go through and read every one of the newspapers, Ms. President?" "Of course." "For their companies to remain competitive, presidents must keep abreast of the news, whether they're male or female." "Your company is involved in the foreign textile trade, isn't it?" "A female company president with business the world over..." " Pretty neat, huh?" " Is it?" "Oh, my." "It looks like the police have confiscated more paintings." "You mean ones that have been smuggled in?" "There's been an increase in that, hasn't there?" "So what's going on?" "It seems that a group of people is stealing foreign works of art, then smuggling them to Japan and selling them." "Rampant smuggling raises suspicion on respectable trading firms like my own, causing no end of trouble, naturally." "Ms. President?" "I've made and brought you your tea." "Thank you very much, Yoko!" "I was just starting to get a little thirsty..." "Here you go, Haruka." "I'll leave this to you." "Yoko, hold up a sec!" "What the heck is going on?" "What do you think is going on?" "Don't tell me you haven't noticed!" "You dummy." "The president's got eyes for Haruka!" "That look she gave him..." "No doubt about it." "Those were the eyes of a maiden in love!" "You mean she's got a crush on Ha..." "You moron!" "She's single and she's rich." "If by some chance Haruka actually married her - just think about it - we'd be in the money!" "And if he's gonna seduce her, this is the perfect chance!" "I call it Operation Smooth Sailing From Here on Out!" "Wow!" "Man, Yoko!" "You're just like a little cupid there!" "C'mon, Kantaro, let's leave those two lovebirds alone and get to work." "All right, Haruka." "Make your daddy proud, boy!" "So those two, Mr. Ichinomiya and Yoko, you live with them, isn't that right?" "Haruka?" "Why would you ask me something like that?" "This is the first time anyone's ever..." "Why?" "What would you do if I were to tell you... that I'm interested in you?" "Kantaro!" "This purification wand isn't moving at all." "That's bizarre." "Manifestations of ill will from the living will set the wand to shaking, but the spirit of someone dead will make it bob up and down." "If it's not moving at all, perhaps the monsters are due to something else." "It's moving, Kantaro." "It's bobbing up and down." "You're right." "Must be an evil spirit." "The more monsters we exorcise, the more they keep coming!" "Then maybe she should move to another house!" "It's Muuchan!" "Thanks, Muuchan!" "You saved us." "There you are!" "Lord Sugino!" "Kantaro, you bastard!" "Quit pawing at Muuchan like that." "What's the matter, Muuchan?" "Oh!" "Is it your tummy?" "What?" "You can't eat things like that!" "C'mon, spit it up!" "Spit it up!" "No, don't!" "That ought to be enough monster-hunting for today." "Wow, how pretty!" "This sure is one big mansion." "Wait, is that a storehouse?" "I guess I'll have to go check over there, too." "What gives?" "The staff 'round here certainly is rude." "Hey, Haruka." "It's a perfect night for moon-gazing and I thought some sake might liven things up a bit." " What is it?" " My head kind of hurts." " A cold?" " No, it's not that kind of pain." "Oh, say, Haruka, have you ever fallen in love with a human being before?" "So where did that come from?" "Well, you've never said anything about it." "But regardless, I have wanted to ask you that." "You're young." "You wouldn't understand." "But anyway, humans and I just aren't a good mix." "It's a matter of values as well as lifespans." "The fact that we'd die at such different ages would be tragic for both of us." "That's why I don't want to get too involved with humans." "What's wrong?" "It's the truth." "I have a question." "That's unusual." "Why do you still have such an interest in me?" "I'm quite different from the demon-eating goblin you've read about in your books, aren't I?" "I'm no longer that which I used to be." "I don't see what the big deal is." "Present, past, whatever." "None of that really matters to me." "We're friends." "That's the most important thing." "And wanting to be close to your friends - I mean, that's only natural, right?" " I'm going out for a bit." " Are you angry?" "I have a feeling I'm coming to rely on you too much." "Haruka." "To me... you mean hope." "Oh, my." "Yoko asked me to do this." "What?" "Is something the matter?" "No." "It's just..." "Well, ever since I came to this mansion, I..." "I'm so sorry." "And after you went through the trouble of bringing it to me..." "Would you mind wiping them off?" "No?" "Your pride won't allow it, is that it?" "Perhaps it's just that you don't find me attractive." "Ms. Sakurazawa, pardon me..." "Haruka?" "Hey." "What's wrong?" "Did something happen?" "It's all because I just happened to spill some water." "More to the point, how's the monster situation?" "Today, I concentrated all my ghost-hunting in the west wing of the main building." "I still can't figure out where they're coming from, though." "Ms. Sakurazawa, is there anything you haven't told me about yet?" "I told you everything I knew about it when I first brought you the case." "So nothing else, huh?" "There's no need to worry, because I will solve the mystery of this paranormal activity!" "But if you don't even know what's causing it..." "It won't be long before we're friends." "All the monsters that have been showing up here seem like they want to come back." "You're going to make friends..." "with monsters?" "Sounds odd, but making friends with monsters is something that I specialize in." "My intuition tells me that this outbuilding is the most suspicious locale of all." "Is there another way into this building?" "All right, on with the case now." "It just looks like a normal storehouse." "What..." "What is all this?" "No way!" "There's no doubt." "Whatever's summoning all the little monsters has gotta be somewhere inside the mansion." "Oh." "Good evening, sir." "A soldier?" "What's a soldier doing here?" "And where'd he come from?" "This storehouse looks like it's been empty for quite a while now." "What's this?" "Don't tell me Ms. Sakurazawa is the one who has been smuggling these paintings." "A demon?" "You called for me?" "What exactly do you want, miss?" "I have been waiting for you, Mr. Demon-eater." "What is this?" "Just what are you up to?" "I'm guessing that you'll listen to me now, won't you?" "Wait, are you..." "Purple roses?" "What on Earth would someone be doing with all of these?" "Hold on, isn't that Yoko's..." "Ms. Sakurazawa!" "I see." "A demon, huh?" "What will you do if I am?" "You ask that, knowing I am an eater of demons?" "Tell me, are you familiar with this rose?" "Exorcists in the west use it to dispel monsters and spirits." "It's said that the pollen from these roses can steal powers from the strongest monsters." "Perhaps I should show you what happens to those who defy me." "What a lovely sunset." "Stop it!" "Hey, that's enough!" "Stop!" "You're gonna beat him to death!" "This is hardly enough to kill the demon-eating goblin." " Kantaro, come help us!" " He won't come." "Yes, he will." "He'll come for sure, I know it!" "Right now he's facing off against a monster the likes of which he has never encountered before." "I wonder if "the foremost ghost hunter of our time" will be a match for it by himself." "Kantaro..." "Now that you've caught me, what will you do with me?" "That's none of your concern." "How the...?" "Why the hell has it come here?" "!" "I thought I told you, I happen to be extremely good at making friends with monsters." " Kantaro!" " Kantaro Ichinomiya." "Although I'm the one who should be surprised." "I never imagined that a demon hid its presence and was masquerading as Ms. Sakurazawa." "Sakurazawa was involved in the smuggling racket so it was easy for me to coerce her into obtaining these roses for me." "But her usefulness was at an end, and consequently, her life was no longer of any value." "You came late, Kantaro." "Sorry, Haruka." "Now tell me, what is your reason for doing this to us?" "Tell me, who in the world are you?" "My name is Ibaragi." "Ibaragi?" "Why are you...?" "Ibaragi, are you satisfied?" "Then let's go." "Hold it!" "Are you all right, Haruka?" "I'm gonna be sick." "So even though those things were demon-dispelling roses, their only effect on demon-eating goblins is like a hangover?" "How terrible of them to attack you like that!" "That woman, could she have been...?" "You've merely added to our troubles." "Tell me, why did you reveal your true form back there?" "If we put them on their guard, don't you think it will only serve to make what's to come that much more difficult?" "Oh?" "I thought it was more to your liking that way." "Hurting those who try to fight back is so much more... entertaining, isn't it?" "Well, that's true enough." "In the town at night, I found myself calling out to you" "I found myself calling out to you" "Though we're far apart" "I won't fall prey to loneliness" "When we feel there's someone on our side" "We all change" "Becoming stronger, stronger, stronger" "The unseen power invites hope" "The unseen power is the courage you gave me" "What will Kantaro's next case be?" "An army unit has disappeared in the dense woodlands of Fuji, and it's said that the demon-eating goblin is to blame!" "Kantaro and the others set off to solve the case, when suddenly they encounter the ominous reverberations of a goblin's drum and a mysterious goblin who attacks in the darkness!" "All of these are fearsome traps devised to ensnare Haruka." "Next time on Tactics, "Woodland Nightmare.""
