Logica: Did she eat a big fish or something...? Ahaha...
Fallenstar: No, wait, this skull looks familiar...
Fallenstar: Horns...
Fallenstar: MR. MATSUDA?!
Logica: Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh...
Fallenstar: There's something in this corner too!

Fallenstar: This was Mr. Matsuda's fishing rod...
Logica: Eeek! What is this?!
Fallenstar: What is it this time?! More bones?! More loot?!
Logica: There's something weird over here...
Fallenstar: Really, wtf is this?

Fallenstar: ......Are they graves?
Logica: Huh?! No way, they can't be! There are so many!!
Fallenstar: Then what are they?
Logica: I dunno, but they're scary!!
Fukyou: You saw it?

Fallenstar: W-w-w-we're sorry!!
Fukyou: Don't go poking around with the things over there.
Fallenstar: Yes ma'am!!
Fukyou: Okay, then let's eat! I picked a bunch, so have as many as you like!
Fukyou: They're crisp and yummy!

Fukyou: Oh, darn, I'm out of water.
Fukyou: I'm so sorry, I'll go get some right away.
Fallenstar: We'll do it for you!
Fukyou: But you're my guests!
Fallenstar: Don't worry about it! You just rest here!
Fukyou: Okay, then please go get some for me.

Fallenstar: Fukyou must be the youkai after all.
Logica: Let's go home already, Fallen! I'm scared!
Fallenstar: No, dummy! This is our chance!
Fallenstar: We've gotta take her out so she doesn't claim any more victims!

Fukyou: Welcome back! It's started snowing, aren't you cold?

Fallenstar: Just a bit.
Logica: Here's your water.
Fukyou: Thank you. It's actually still mild this time of year.
Fukyou: Once it gets colder, it's a lot harder to get any food. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to take it.
Fukyou: You'll only be able to come to the mountain for so long. We'll have to have our fun while we can.
Fallenstar: Is she gonna try to finish us off before it gets too cold...?!
Fallenstar: Then we've gotta do this now...!

Fukyou: Oh, I know! I'll take that big fish out of the icebox! I've been saving it for something special, so let's eat it together!
Fallenstar: THIS IS HARD TO DO
Logica: Fallen, we can't...
Fallenstar: Stupid! Don't let her dull your resolve!
Fallenstar: We have to do this to avenge Mr. Matsuda!

Logica: gueh
Fallenstar: HUH?! IS THIS THE YOUKAI?! YOU'RE KIDDING ME?! WHY?! THIS CAN'T BE REAL!!
Fukyou: Fallen...

Monjirou: FUKYOU!
Monjirou: HURRY AND RUN WHILE I'M HOLDIN' 'EM DOWN!
Fukyou: That voice...! Is that you, Monjirou?!

[He let them go.]
Fallenstar: It's the guy from the cave drawing...
Fukyou: Monjirou, why...? You disappeared all of a sudden even though we used to be such good friends... I thought you must have stopped liking me or something...

Monjirou: I'm sorry for leavin' without sayin' goodbye. I wanted to live with ya no matter what...
Monjirou: But you can't leave the mountain, and it's too durn cold for me here...
Monjirou: So I took a trip way up north an' I got the pelt of a critter that's real warm in the cold! 'S long as I wear it, even I can stay here.
Monjirou: Thing is, the critter was real strong, so it took longer than I...

Fukyou: Oooh, if that was all, then you should have just said something before you left! I've been so lonely...
Monjirou: I'm sorry, Fukyou!
Monjirou: Wait, you're still here?!
Monjirou: Look out, Fukyou! These guys're villains pretendin' to be friendly so's they can kill you! I been watchin'!
Fukyou: You "been" watching? You didn't just get back today?
Monjirou: Uh...
Monjirou: Actually I been here a coupla days, but... You were playin' with total strangers so I didn't know when to come out...
Logica: Oh, he must have been the one I felt staring before.

Fukyou: Were you really trying to kill me...?
Logica: Um... We mistook you for the youkai that attacks stranded people... We're sorry...
Fallenstar: There was a skeleton in your house, so I just assumed...
Fukyou: Skeleton?
Fukyou: Oh, that must be... Back before I met you, I took care of a man who was hurt very badly from a fall. He'd hit his head and his legs were broken, and he never got better, so one day...
Fallenstar: Then why didn't you bury him in a grave?!
Fukyou: What's a grave?
Fallenstar: It's a hole in the ground where you put a dead body! You mark it with a stone...

Fallenstar: Oh, wait, those graves!
Fallenstar: There are graves in your house too!!!
Fukyou: ???
Fallenstar: The ones made out of little rocks...
Fukyou: Oh, that was...! I was so lonely I made little dolls out of rocks... I know it's babyish of me, so when I saw you peeking at them I about jumped out of my skin...
Fallenstar: ...That was embarrassment?
Fukyou: "You saw it?"

Fukyou: I'm sorry about everything.
Fallenstar: No, that ought to be our line...
Fukyou: You can come back and play anytime you want!
Fallenstar: Thanks!

Fallenstar: Oh man, we were so wrong!
Logica: We sure were!
Logica: But I figured the truth must be something like this.
Fallenstar: Yeah.
Monjirou: Fukyou...
Fukyou: What is it?
Monjirou: You were lyin' 'bout them bones, right?
Monjirou: You ate 'im, right?

Fukyou: You could tell?
Fukyou: Oh, but he really WAS hurt and on the verge of death, and that's the only reason I ate him, you see? I didn't lie.
Monjirou: You weren't gonna eat those guys?
Fukyou: No! I had too much fun with them. And I'm a picky eater.
Fukyou: Plus, I'm in a really good mood since you came back, Monjirou.
Monjirou: Fukyou, I don't care if you're a youkai... I love you.

Fukyou: Thank you, Monjirou.
