"Ohh..." "You've finally shown yourself!" "Ha!" "OK." "Aw, crap!" " Did you do it?" " No." "Looks like she got away." "Although that monster is..." "O, Lamentations for the Married Couple" "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" "Muuchan." "Muuchan!" "Now, where is Muuchan this time?" "Hey, Muuchan!" "Muuchan?" "Muuchan?" "Where in the world did you run off to, Muuchan?" "She wouldn't!" "Hey, Kantaro!" "Muuchan's here again!" "You really had me worried, Muuchan." "You disappeared so suddenly." "You can't just take off." "You gotta let me know when you're going out." "I mean we are married, right?" "That's amazing." "So you teleported here all the way from Sugino Village?" "Wow!" "That's crazy." "You sure have a whole lot of powers we don't know about, don't you?" "What does she even see in a human like him?" "Just come on over here, Muuchan." "What if Kantaro's stupidity rubs off on you?" "Calling me stupid is a little harsh, Lord Sugino." "And your desire to monopolize Muuchan is quite disgraceful." "Kantaro Ichinomiya, step outside!" "If this is how it's gonna be, we're gonna have a duel to see who's the better man for Muuchan!" "You're gonna have a duel?" "How did things get to this point?" "Stop it, Sugino." "You're being childish." "Quiet!" "Come on, Kantaro." "Outside!" "Muuchan, are you siding with Kantaro?" "But I'm your husband." "I'm your husband, Muuchan, so how could..." "How could you?" "Muuchan, you idiot!" "Didn't seem to me like she was siding with Kantaro." "She was just trying to stop them from fighting, right?" "Well, shall we get going, Haruka?" " Go where?" "The case you worked on?" " Unfortunately, she escaped yesterday." "You're cruel, so cruel, Muuchan." "How could Muuchan prefer a human to me?" "Those humans are the ones to blame for this." "Getting involved with them is what made this happen." "Muuchan and I never fought when it was just us living by ourselves on the mountain." "Hey, Muuchan." "I've never liked humans, and this is the last straw!" "I'll just have to make Muuchan realize how foolish and incompetent humans are." "Once she understands that, I'm sure her love for me will be rekindled." "All right." " A kyokotsu?" " Yes." "I'm sure the monster in question is a kyokotsu." " That's why I'd like to ask you something." " What?" "Kyokotsu are malicious spirits born from intense resentment of a deceased person." "Did anyone harbor that kind of hatred toward the two of you?" " Hatred?" "Toward us?" " Yes, ma'am, that's right." "Enough hatred that they'd want to kill you." "A proper memorial service for that person should stop the kyokotsu from appearing, without having to perform an exorcism on the grounds." "Unfortunately, while the fact that I am young to be a company president has earned me the envy of others, nothing would warrant outright animosity." "There could be mistakes you've made or resentment you've earned simply because you are so young." "What happened?" "Kotoe!" "No, it can't be." "A kyokotsu, huh?" " Hey, hold it!" " Wait." "Was that...?" "Where do you think you're going?" "You won't get away this time, kyokotsu!" "How can I make Muuchan understand how foolish humans actually are?" "Kantaro!" "She's gone." "That was him?" " Tell me, why did you save me back there?" " No reason." "I didn't help you out because I wanted to." "It's just that I absolutely hate humans, most of all that lousy Kantaro Ichinomiya." "See ya." "Better cut out the mischief if you don't want him to exorcise you." "Wait a minute." "You save me on a whim, and now you're going to abandon me here?" "Abandon?" "All I'm saying is you can do whatever you like now." "Whatever I like?" "I'm afraid that's easier said than done." "Ultimately, I don't have anywhere to go, nowhere to return to." "I know." "That's it!" "Henceforth, I'll go wherever it is you go." " What?" " You said despise humans." "Isn't that right?" "Well, I hate humans too." "I'm sure the two of us would get along well." " No, thank you." " Huh?" "First of all, I'm extremely busy." "I have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that humans are a bunch of incompetent idiots so I can win back the love of my life." "Win back the love of your life?" "That's right." "Love is something that must be won." "And only the winner can place claims on ownership." "Hey..." "So, don't you wanna let me help you out a little?" "No, you see, I..." "Hasn't Lord Sugino gotten back yet, Yoko?" "No, he hasn't." "And I thought for sure he'd be back as soon as he got hungry." "That's why Muuchan decided to spend the night here at our place." "Isn't that right?" "Lord Sugino must have been pretty shocked when Muuchan stood up for Kantaro." "Yeah, but Muuchan is the last person Lord Sugino would want to worry." "Well, why don't we go and look for him?" "Yeah, something might have happened to him." " You're saying it's Kotoe?" " Yes." "Is that name familiar at all?" "It is familiar." "We used to have a servant by that name." "Her full name was Kotoe Matsubara." "Kotoe Matsubara..." "And where is Kotoe now?" "Has she gone to work somewhere else?" "No, you see..." "she disappeared last winter." "She disappeared?" "Yes." "She was a live-in servant, but she disappeared without a trace, leaving behind her luggage and all her belongings." "Of course, we asked the police to search for her, but..." "What the devil is happening here?" "They have no clue that I'm the one behind all this." "Humans are such incredible fools." "Don't you think so, Demon-eater?" " What happened to that monster you saved?" " I don't know." "She just went off somewhere." "You're welcome to think whatever you like about humans, Sugino." "However... you had best not interfere with Kantaro's work." "Fine." "I won't do it again." "What a shame." "Is that all you're going to do?" "No, I'm just getting started." "I'm so glad." "Listen, we should cause some trouble for these humans that we despise so much." " You will give me a hand in this, won't you?" " Leave it to me." "[Mame Daifuku]" "Man, he's just nowhere to be found." "Where could he have gone?" "That's odd." "Isn't this the place?" "What are you doing, Mr. Ichinomiya?" "At the moment, I'm doing a search for the remains of Kotoe Matsubara." "You say you're looking for her remains?" "Looks like it may be Kotoe who is responsible for the kyokotsu." "I'm afraid she didn't disappear last winter." "She passed away." "Because she vanished without preparing to go anywhere, her remains should still be somewhere on these grounds and also be weather-worn." "And just how are you able to conclude that?" "A corpse left to the elements and denied a memorial service will spawn a kyokotsu." "Unless we locate her remains and conduct a funeral service, the kyokotsu will soon be showing up again." "I see." "Very well then." "If there is anything that I can do to be of service, please don't hesitate to let me know." "Please excuse me." "[Jellies ramune, bean jam and fruit cocktails]" "Lord Sugino's nowhere to be found." "Where could he have gone to?" "Muuchan!" "Hey, wait a minute!" "Now I get it - a hidden room, huh?" "Please pardon us, sir." "It appeared you were misleading us and wouldn't reveal the location of the remains, so we had no choice but to do something like this." "Why do you think I know anything about that?" "You started to behave strangely when you learned the monster was a kyokotsu." "Are you sure you don't know anything about this matter?" "After all, Kyokotsu tend to arise from the deaths of people who are murdered." "I didn't have a choice." "It was the only thing that I could do." "We were just fooling around." "But she had to become so serious about it all." "What do you mean?" "Didn't you promise me that you'd divorce your wife and marry me?" " Was this all just a lie?" " It was nothing." "I inherited my father-in-law's company when I married into his family." "You must know that." "If you love me, then don't cause all this trouble by saying selfish things." "I've been selfish?" "So you tricked me!" "Fine!" "If it's all nothing to you, you won't mind me telling your wife." " What did you say?" " If it takes a divorce to make you mine, this "nothing" is all the grounds she'll need." "What are you saying?" "Kotoe, please wait!" "Does she think I'd let her get away with that?" "She's the one to blame." "She was trying to blackmail me." "I won't forgive you!" " I swear it!" " Haruka!" "Lord Sugino!" " You bastard!" " No, don't." "Lord Sugino is under the control of the kyokotsu." "Your point?" "Listen, I understand how you must feel." "But revenge won't accomplish anything." "You must go back to the world where you belong." "Don't get in my way!" "Om Abokya Beiroshano Makabodara Mani Handoma." "I won't forgive you!" " You made a mockery of my love for you!" " Jimbara Harabaritanya." " Sugino?" " It can't be." "I just exorcized the kyokotsu." "I see." "So the kyokotsu's evil spirit has possessed Lord Sugino, has it?" " What do you think you're doing?" " I'm begging you, please stop this now." "Please find it in yourself to forgive him." "What the hell do you care?" "The sniveling wretch betrayed you, didn't he?" "That was... something I'd known for a long time." "But there was never a time when I wanted to be rid of him." "Even if the only reason he married me was for my family's fortune, I still love him." "Move aside!" "You don't want to die for this kind of man, do you?" "Whatever kind of man, he's my husband!" "This is the love of a human couple..." "Stop it!" "Let me go!" "Stop it!" "Akiko!" "Rin!" "Pyo!" "Toh!" "Sha!" "Kai!" "Jin!" "Retsu!" "Zai!" "No way!" "She just ate the evil spirit." "Muuchan!" "You saved me from that thing, didn't you?" "Yes, you did." "We're married after all, right?" "Muuchan!" "I'm so sorry for ever doubting your love for me!" "Oh, Muuchan." "So that's where you were." "Darling." "Darling, I'll wait for you as long as it takes." "Muuchan, let's work hard to make the bond of love between us as strong as the one between those two." "Wow, that's a first." "Did I hear you just approve of the humans that you hate so much?" " Why don't you just shut up!" " I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, but is there any particular reason that you hate humans so much?" " Well, it's because..." " It's because?" " Because..." " Because?" "It's because... there was this one time when a human made a fool out of me." "What the heck does that mean?" "That human must have really made a fool out of you, huh?" " So what did this human do?" " Hey, who cares." "All right, we're going home." "Let's go, Muuchan!" "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?" "A little blonde girl named Rosalie has come from England." "It seems she is somehow connected to a strange occurrence at a church." "With this little girl is none other than Kantaro's arch-rival, Ryokan Hasumi." "And Mr. Edwards, a member of the Anglican Church, has more to him than meets the eye." "This complex case is really gonna test Kantaro's abilities." "Next time on Tactics, "The Pretty Little Girl from England.""
