"Scary!" "(Matsukane Household in need of one servant)" "Something stinks." "'Cause something nasty has come." "Crawfish Samurai!" "You can't convince anyone even with that scary face." "You gonna apply for a samurai's position carrying a crawfish?" ""That's none of your business."" "A person a with grim face like yours doesn't hold back, right?" ""A grim face doesn't matter."" "Having a grim face doesn't matter, does it?" ""Yeah, that's right."" "Still..." "I can't put up with a stinky guy." "The stench will drift into our clan." "Hello... it's been a while~!" "Is that lobster?" "Oh, it's a crawfish, huh?" "That grim face again!" "Yep, here are the letters..." "they've asked me to deliver to you." "(Note:" "letters from his wife and daughter)" "I don't need medicine." "But you've run out of stomach medicine." "(Note:" "This man is Goro, a family friend and medicine peddler)" "Your wife is waiting to hear from you." "There isn't any opening yet for a Samurai's position?" "Even if the Invincible Madara Oni had a loss of face but..." "May it be an umbrella maker or a teacher, any job is fine, isn't it?" "At any rate, you can at least reply to their letters, right?" "Even just a mere "I'm doing fine" will do." "Please don't let your stomach get cold." "Take care of yourself." "♪ What a lively sound when the drum starts thumpin'" "♪ Sorry if it happens..."

"Just this once, please allow me in." "You can't just come in!" "I have a referral letter here." "There's a lot of fake letters from you ronins lately." " No, no..." " Leave now!" " This isn't fake!" " Sure, sure." "Don't come again, you hear?" "Excuse me..." "Samurai-sama, please wait!" "I have something I wish to discuss with you, Sir." "What is it?" "This isn't the right place to talk..." "Just say it here." "But this isn't the right place..." "I have seen that you are an excellent swordsman, so I need your help!" "You'll be generously rewarded!" "I am Sakichi, head clerk from dry goods wholesaler shop, Kagaya." "This is just between you and me I wish you to get rid of something at my place." "You see, a friend of mine, Kisuke found a kitten one rainy day and brought it home with him, out of compassion." "Since then ." "Kisuke has been holing himself up in his house." "His mother was worried about him so she went and checked on him even if she called to him there was no answer." "When the mother opened the door a cat suddenly jumped out and scratched her on the left eye..." "Even so, what she saw in the room with her other eye was a terrifying sight..." "What did she see?" "Kisuke was lying down on the bed, looking like an empty shell and on top of his stomach, was an 8-tailed goblin cat with glowing red eyes, and sharp fangs!" "That was what I heard but I too have became worried about the cat in our shop!" "My master Yozaemon was a very strict person he's a man who lived to work, and never told a joke at all." "Then, about a month ago he started keeping a cat, named Tamanojo." "Since then, he has changed." "I've never seen him like that before." ""Somehow, he's been acting strange..."" "...everyone had said so." "There's no doubt that Tamanojo has possessed my master's soul!" "Yes, yes..." "You're the only one who always understands." "Before it's too late I must do something..." "But what can I do, it's a goblin cat." "Ridiculous." "Aren't you scared?" "I'm terrified!" "Samurai-sama..." "I beg you, please get rid off Tamanojo!" ""Nope, that's not gonna happen!"" "It must be a Goblin Cat!" "A strong Samurai as you is perfect for this task!" "Please, help me!" ""It's absolutely impossible!"" ""Goodbye."" "Two ryos..." "No, 3 ryos!" "I'll leave the back door open at 2 am..." "Please come in from there." "Go through the courtyard, to get to the cat's room."

"I think my master will come back to his old self again." "As promised, I will give you your 3 ryos tomorrow, but..." "Where is the body?" "I've interred it." "Where?" "Are you doubting me?" "No... that's not what I meant." "It's just that, since it's a Goblin Cat it may come back to life again." "(Seal for the Evil Spirit)" "It's the urn of the cat." "Cat's urn?" "Don't touch it." "Tamanojo is in there?" "You must never open it." "What happens... if I open it?" "Take care of it properly." "Yes!" "Thank you." "Excuse me." "If it comes out again, please kill it again, alright?"
