"Coming to the cold last Moon of the lunar calendar, welcoming the end of the year." "Many creatures have hidden themselves." "So, to my eyes, the town turns to be very quiet." "Shizuru, Shizuru." "Here, here." "This one." "I saw it on the magazine." "It looks nice." "After getting my New Year Money, I'll buy this." "Hasn't Fumi had bought one that's similar to this?" "What did you say?" "That one is totally different." "For examples, the lines of the lower hem, the pattern of the collar, and the colour of the clothes." "Shizuru's too dull." "By the way, this one is really good, the more I look at it the more I want it." "It must fit you." "Really?" "Happy." "Everyone is so familiar with fashion." "This's really admirable." "What does that thing be called?" "By the way, I always see this kind of things during this season." "What're they doing actually?" "How should I confront with them?" "I once heard from Grandpa that¡­" "Big Eye" "It's very cold." "Needle?" "This's very dangerous." "Put it here first." "I'm really very lucky." "Who?" "!" "Never expect I could meet up with someone that could be like you." "Where're you?" "Though this may be very abrupt, but I'd like to ask you to do me a favour." "Could I borrow your eyes to use for a while?" "My eye!" "I can see now." "I've been saved." "What an easily to be possessed kid." "Who are you actually?" "Sorry." "Because of my negligence, I'd hurt my important eyes." "This gives me difficulties in doing my works." "So, I'd like to discuss with you, whether you could accompany me to work for a while." "Cannot?" "Of course." "Please do me a favour." "No way." "That just takes you a short time." "No matter how you say, there's definitely no way." "Please." "That one is¡­" "No way." "I just have this one request." "Haven't I answered you already?" "Sorry, uncle, could you lend me this basket?" "Okay, Shizuru." "I'll return it back soon." "You're really very annoying." "Don¡¯t move." "Sister!" "I can see now." "This really astonishes me." "A young girl like you also knows this way." "I don't force you anymore." "I'll figure out another way." "Sorry for bringing you trouble." "Can't stand it." "That fellow is Big Eye." "This kind of fellows nearby here always appears during the New Year punctually." "They stick to the tradition very strictly." "What is that?" "A long time ago, the people call the 8th of December as Small Eye or Okoto Osame," "and the 8th of February as Big Eye or Okoto Hajime." "What does Okoto mean?" "That is a ceremony for every month." "So, is Big Eye the goblin that'll come here on the 8th day" "(In Japan, the farming starts from 8th of February.)" "to inspect each family?" "(8th of December is the end of farming." "A ceremony of refraining from needle will be held then." "For examples, if clothes are left to dry in the sun outside, will brings the family bad luck." "So, the people in the old times put the bamboo basket on the bamboo stick to expel these goblins." "Why is the big eye afraid of bamboo basket, sister?" "That's probably because the bamboo basket seemed to have a lot of eyes." "That's horrible." "Why do they come here?" "This¡­" "They're the ambassador of Gods." "There will have many Gods to come down during the end and the beginning of the year." "So, they become the pioneer, in the name of devil, to rectify our unlawful behaviours." "To rectify our unlawful behaviors?" "Then I need to do the clean-up seriously this year." "This's rare." "I'll do it well." "By the way, when Grandma was still small, we together expelled them out of the village." "In the old times, that was probably the ceremony after Higomori." "All of these happened in the times when the lunar calendar was in use." "We¡¯ve almost forgotten them completely after Second World War." "In spite of that, they still stick to the tradition and come here." "Even though they've been forgotten, they still come." "They seem quite pitiful." "Sister." "They are goblins." "In short, we need to be careful to prevent any disaster during this season." "The dry air, fever, fire." "All of these we need to be careful with specially." "We'll be careful." "This little town is welcoming the end of year." "Its view is also changing from year to year." "Boundary rope (a rope that is used to circle the place where the religious ceremony takes place to prevent the devils from coming inside)" "Maybe the people will not put the boundary rope anymore one day." "What's wrong?" "Haven't you seen this thing before?" "No." "I just think this's good." "This's because it's a tradition handed down from our ancestors." "Grandma, what should I do the next?" "Make some kelp rolls." "Yes." "Eating more black beans can become a hardworking person." "What does hardworking mean?" "That means that one is working vigorously." "How about the kelp roll?" "Kelp roll means happiness." "That's right, I'm now feeling very happy." "Mizuki." "Are all these the food for celebrating the New Year?" "Yes." "This sounds interesting." "The delicacy of festival." "They look very tasty." "Mizuki's always thinking about eating." "During the New Year, there're some traditions that inheriting the history." "There' re even goblins to protect these traditions." "I feel that there're many things can't be forgotten." "Happy New Year." "Happy New Year." "The kelp roll is very tasty." "Really?" "Eat more, eat more." "Thank you for giving me so many." "There are still many in the kitchen." "I'm really happy." "Everyone can celebrate the New Year vigorously." "In spite of that, he's still a remarkable person." "Right." "Never have I expected here could have this kind of people." "This's really touching." "Stone, scissors, cloth." "It seems that the Peeling Monster will come late this year." "Yes." "So, let's wait here." "The wine consecrated over there has refreshed me a lot." "I heard it before." "Grandpa once said that New Year is a festival for us to use a new feeling to welcome Gods and worship Them." "Tasty." "Really delicious." "However, here has too many of them." "This really causes people feel nervous." "What's this?" "It's Sky Fire." "It's been a long time we haven¡¯t met each other." "Can you remember me?" "I can remember." "This is also a goblin." "Goblin?" "No need to worry." "Though they may bring a fire upon the house they go to, they're now just playing the fire naively." "Shizuru." "Thank you for watching on our stuff." "Do you eat this?" "Meat balls." "Thank you." "The fire is very strong." "I'll go to cook the New Year Cake." "Please wait for me here." "Yes." "Thank you." "The Sky Fires." "So many of them assemble together." "They're discussing where they will go next." "Erm¡­ Can you spare me some time to have a talk with me?" "Are you eyes now alright?" "This's embarrassing." "Though my eyes have been healed, I still fail to finish the task entrusted to me." "I can¡¯t pretend nothing has happened and go back." "I need to stay here during the New Year." "That's why you come to find me¡­" "No." "I come here because I couldn't see anyone who could recognize me." "Have I brought you any trouble?" "No." "It's very hot." "Your works now must be very easy." "The people of the town have forgotten your kind completely¡­" "Yes, and because of this, I'm now spiritless." "In the old times, we were always being scolded before went back." "The feeling over that time was really good." "What a strange person of you." "You're the ambassador before Gods come here, right?" "Yes." "Since we've been working this for a long time, many Gods will entrust us some tasks." "This makes me feel that my role as a goblin has been recognized." "However now, there're only few people will still worship God." "Here is still good." "Until now, here still has people can recognize us." "That's why I come." "If that is not in this case, you won't come here again?" "Don't come." "However, this is quite alike with you." "If you leave this world, and there's no one else in this world who can recognize you¡­" "Oh, Big Eye." "You're here." "Look." "I've taken the sweet wine." "Do you want to drink with me?" "Thank you very much." "I need to leave." "The New Year Cakes are ready." "What's wrong, sister?" "What are you thinking about?" "Hot¡­" "Could it be that you had heard something interesting?" "However, if this situation continues, the world will change gradually." "If all the things¡­ No." "If they don¡¯t come again, will all the disasters disappear?" "That won't happen." "Other things will come." "Isn¡¯t that good if they continues in this way." "Even if there're new of them to come in turn, they won¡¯t possess me as well." "What should I do if there's something new to come?" "At that time, we may need to figure out a corresponding solution." "We can't be sloppy." "Sorrow and pain are hard to be borne." "However, because of this change, it proves that we're still alive." "After February, they suddenly disappeared." "How will Big Eye become after that?" "I hope I could talk with him longer." "Sky Fire." "Could it be that it wants to put a fire in somewhere?" "That's the direction to my house." "Over there." "I see." "This must be very hard." "Mizuki." "This is hard to be explained." "Sorry." "There're some mistakes in the direction." "It's not here, Sir Sky Fire." "It came to ask direction." "Sir Sky Fire must be a bit confused." "This is my present." "A needle sponge." "I want to say goodbye to you after you hearing so much from me before I go back¡­" "You can go back?" "I don¡¯t know whether I can come here again or not next time." "In short, the place I'm responsible to has changed a lot." "The place you're responsible to?" "What a weird goblin." "My visit this year is because of the abruptness I'd made in the end of last year." "At that time I was tricked by you badly." "I know I'd brought you many troubles at that time." "However, because of that, it becomes a happy thing that will never be forgotten." "Happy?" "What a weird goblin." "Weird?" "I'm really a bit of it." "We'll remember well the goblins like you." "Mizuki too, right?" "Yes." "I'll remember the things I hate tenaciously." "We'll remember you." "Really?" "In that case, I may be able regain my vigour." "We may be entrusted new task." "We're very difficult to get rid of." "Even though the current situation has changed, and the track has lost, as long as the memory is still there, it's fine." "We can attain our new hope because of a small coincidence." "You'll have your own children." "So, you need to value your lives." "We'll vanish one day." "However, this is worth celebrating." "So, I need to say goodbye to you here." "Where will you go?" "I'll go to a mountain." "My lord is a Mountain God." "Take care." "I always feel very uncomfortable." "Every time we went away was in company with loud scolding and yelling." "Sorry for this." "Could you just scold me?" "Scold you¡­ ?" "Please." "Suddenly asking me to scold you¡­ This is really difficult." "Please find a solution." "You're very disturbing!" "Quickly go away!" "You bastard!" "Is this that feeling?" "Oh, that's that." "That's that." "Don¡¯t come again." "Go away as far as possible." "This is the tone I want." "This year is really good." "Though I don¡¯t know when we can meet again, whenever I see snow, I'll remember this winter." "Big news." "The school is going to hold a kite contest." "That is what you're good at." "Go for it!" "So, we can practise in the square happily." "In the square." "Need to walk so far?" "I think it's better I don¡¯t go to there." "No way." "Cannot?" "Where should I go?" "Next Episode:" "Genuine Article" "I really want to win." "By the way, can you cook curry for my dinner?" "Sorry." "It's cheaper to use octopus to make sashimi." "It¡¯s very cold."
