Directly from the Farm Summer Oranges
Here we go.
What's that, Minato?
My mom sent me some summer oranges.
Summer oranges!
Wow, smells good!
So many of them!
I can feel summer.
Yeah. You can eat as much as you want.
He still hasn't grown back to normal.
Is he okay?
He seems more low energy than usual.
Is he feeling down after losing to Tenko?
Maybe he can't grow back because he's feeling down?
Oh, I just remembered!
I ran out of Japanese sweets.
Yamagami, would you like to go out and eat something tasty with me?
That's nice.
What are you going to eat?
Yamagami, it might not be a bad idea to go out with Minato.
We'll house-sit while you're away.
Indeed. Let's get going, then.
Kusunoki's Garden of Gods
Uninvited Guests While Walking Around Town
You want to sit on my shoulder, Yamagami?
Hm?
Anything to ease a god's burden.
I see. In that case...
How do you feel?
Hmm. Not bad.
Books
Sasamoto Photo Studio
Yamagami, how about that restaurant?
Hm.
Oh, there's another one that looks promising.
It is hard to pick one.
Let's eat at the place you like the most.
Right.
Anything that piques your interest?
Musashi Publishing
That sign.
It's the publisher of the local magazine you like to read.
Indeed. It was just a shack one hundred years ago.
I didn't know this publisher had such a long history.
Aye. Let's go.
Musashi Publishing
Wait, Yamagami! What are we going to do there?
I have something to say to them.
H-Hold on!
Man, I literally have no luck.
I get possessed by evil spirits all the time.
And my local magazine's sales aren't growing.
Oh, Towada.
President.
Off to gather information?
Yes, for a special feature on Japanese sweets.
Last month's special feature on chunky bean paste was wonderful.
If it reaches the Yamagami, he might visit our town again.
R-Right...
The previous president would be happy too.
I have another meeting, so I'll get back to it.
Is my article really reaching this so-called Yamagami...?
Did something possess me again?!
Th-This is bad!
Hey, Yamagami!
You shouldn't just barge in!
Th-The Yamagami?!
I-Is it really you?!
You can see Yamagami?
I'm allowing him to see me.
Y-You really do exist!
But you're awfully cute.
I'm Yamagami, the mountain god.
Are you the writer of the Japanese sweets articles?
Y-Yes!
I always look forward to the articles on Japanese sweets.
The Yamagami really is reading my articles...
L-Listen, Yamagami!
Will you please meet our president?!
He's been waiting and waiting for you!
Not just the president, but all of the employees have!
I'll gather everyone here, so will you stay here a bit longer?!
President! Everyone! Come down here!
The Yamagami is here!
President!
Wh-What is going on, Towada?
Th-The Yamagami is here with us right now!
Musashi Publishing
Wh-What?!
Where?!
I'm right here.
Yamagami, they can't tell that it's you in that form.
We've been waiting for you.
The founder and the previous president, Chairman Musashi,
Musashi Publishing
has told me so much about you.
Huh?
I heard that after you helped out Chairman Musashi,
he used to take you out to sweets shops.
Musashi Publishing
What?
Aye. He and I used to frequent sweets shops together.
So you were close.
D-Do you still read our...?
Yes.
Wow!
I've come here today to say something about it.
Wh-Which is?
Aye. The next special feature should be...
about smooth bean paste, not chunky paste.
As you wish!
All right! Run a special feature on smooth paste in the next issue!
Yes, sir!
Now, let's go eat something tasty.
Yes, let's.
Research every smooth paste product in town!
Musashi Publishing
Yes! Let's go!
Okay!
Everyone, hurry!
So you knew someone other than the owner of Echigo-ya.
Aye. Back then, there were more people who could see those that were not human.
Oh yeah?
His spirit seems to be up.
Let's keep on going.
Diner Mimasaka
Oh, I smell something good from that restaurant.
That's the smell of curry.
Curry! That sounds great!
Yamagami, I bet it's tasty! Let's go.
Yes, we shall go.
Welcome.
Please let me know when you're ready to order.
Thank you.
Huh? Why for two?
She can't see you, can she?
No. Not only can she not see me,
but she also has no power to detect my presence.
Then how come...?
Yamagami, people will notice you!
Don't worry about the eyes of others.
Take a good look.
Huh?
Wh-What is that?
Though small, it is a god as well.
A god?
You still want more?
Okay. Then let me order another one.
Does that mean... there's a god where that man is?
But I can't sense anything.
Is it a yokai?
Indeed.
In fact, a lot of them are surrounding that man.
Is that so?
But I should be able to see yokai.
It's been a while since you left your parents' home.
So your perception must have dulled.
You're right.
Gods and yokai are hanging out here.
What kind of place is this?
You're with gods all the time yourself.
I guess you're right.
So, are you going to order curry?
Oh, I almost forgot.
Excuse me.
So good!
The spice level is just right. Not bad.
I'm glad Yamagami likes it.
Yamagami, that tailor's scissors are moving on their own, right?
That has turned into a Tsukumogami.
Tsukumogami?
When a tool is treasured for a very long time,
it's imbued with a soul and becomes a Tsukumogami.
There's one in your house.
Didn't you notice?
What? There is?
Yes. It's the wind chime.
What? But that wind chime never moved on its own.
It wishes only to exist as a wind chime.
That is why I allow it to live here.
I had no idea.
Use it fully again this year.
Maintain it every now and then. It would like that.
I'll take good care of it.
Thank you for coming!
We look forward to serving you again.
Huh?
What's the matter?
The bell didn't ring.
Why? It rang earlier, right?
That bell is also a Tsukumogami.
Is it really?
I assume it rings to alert the staff when something that's not human enters.
Ah. That's why she gave us two menus.
Indeed.
So this is a diner where gods and yokai are allowed to enter.
Yamagami. Yamagami!
Seri. What's the matter?
Uninvited guests are here.
I see.
They stink so bad!
I've never seen anyone so stinky!
That doesn't explain anything.
Not that you're wrong.
You all keep an eye on them.
Yes, sir!
Man, it's so muggy!
The air is humid as hell.
Seriously awful.
There's no doubt, this is the house of the one who made the wooden tag.
The rice field here smells bad.
I just can't take this stench.
We should just get rid of rice fields.
Then you couldn't eat your favorite food, rice.
I can't have that.
Let's go talk to this guy so we can buy these wooden tags cheap.
These two are rotten to the core.
They seem to be after Minato's wooden tags.
Mr. Kusunoki!
Not home?
You reek more than the rice fields.
Did you just impersonate the Yamagami?
They say the souls of rotten humans have a terrible stench,
and even my eyes can feel it. So pungent.
I've never seen anyone like them.
I guess we have no choice.
Jeez! They're trying to force open the gate!
I didn't know such worthless humans existed. Good grief.
Do what you feel is best.
Yippie!
Yes, we will.
I'm going to make them regret coming here.
Kusunoki's Garden of Gods
Damn! This door just won't open!
Man, what's taking you so long?
It won't even budge!
Let me.
It's already open.
Really? But why?
That's the countryside for you. So careless.
Mr. Kusunoki.
Excuse me, Mr. Kusunoki!
Mr. Kusunoki!
He's not here, no doubt.
For real?
Not only the gate, but he even left the door unlocked?
How careless can he be?
Exactly.
Hm? The scent of oranges?
You think so?
But I don't see any oranges around.
Never mind.
If he's not here, let's look through inside the house.
What a big house.
What's up with this house?! So many corridors!
Why are you stopping?
Haven't you realized yet?!
This is strange, no matter how you look!
There can't be such a long corridor in this house!
Y-You're right.
And this scent...
The scent of oranges is getting stronger.
It shmells sho nice!
Yesh. We're sho lucky to have thish.
You two, get your nose off of that when you talk.
These summer oranges truly saved us.
Without them, the stench of these guys would have ruined our noses.
The smell of oranges became stronger.
The corridor is disappearing?!
Bro, if this continues, we will...
E-Enno, run!
W-Wait up!
What's going on with this house?!
It's no good! It'll get us!
Wh-What just happened?
How should I know? R-Run!
It worked, Torika.
Yes. We taught them to feel fear when they
smell the scent of summer oranges.
We'll launch a citrus attack when they come here again.
Maybe I'll suggest to Minato he should put an
orange-scented air freshener at the entrance.
Hurry up!
Don't leave me behind!
Diner \h\h\hMimasaka
It was rather delicious curry.
That's good. Let's come here again.
Sure.
I thought I managed to make Yamagami happy, but he's still not growing back.
Well then, shall we go home?
Oh, sure.
Seri and the others are waiting for us.
While we are away, they seem to have gotten rid of some uninvited guests.
What?
Who knew your summer oranges would come in handy?
Summer oranges?
Bus Stop
Do you like riding on my shoulder?
Aye. It's rather comfortable.
Oh, it's that old lady.
The Great Kami.
Huh? "The Great Kami"?
Hello there.
Oh, hello.
You came to make an offering to the jizo statue?
Oh, um...
Mother!
I was worried about you.
You came here by yourself again.
Let's go home, Mother.
Okay, okay.
E-Excuse me.
Yes?
What is the Great Kami?
Oh, it's the god of the mountain my mother worships.
She used to tell me that the Great Kami lived on that mountain.
So even now, she comes to pay respect to
the jizo statue that is dedicated to the Great Kami.
I didn't know that.
Please excuse us.
People cherish you, Yamagami.
Yes.
Huh?
You're back to your normal self!
Aye.
With an even bigger presence!
Naturally. I'm a mountain god.
Yamagami, please turn it down a bit!
M-My eyes!
Didn't I tell you that I'd grow back eventually?
I'm glad you're feeling better.
What do you mean?
Wait, I thought you didn't grow back at all
because you were depressed after losing to Tenko.
That is not so.
Like I always tell you, I only used my power too much.
Really? Then you seemed down this morning because...
This morning?
Oh, the special feature of the magazine was chunky paste,
so I was feeling bummed.
The special feature on chunky paste?!
So that's what it was.
Now, let's go home.
What is it?
No, I'm just glad you're feeling better.
Maybe Yamagami grew back to normal
because the people in this town believe in the existence of Yamagami.
Say what?
Ansho and the other guy were at Minato Kusunoki's house?
And what happened?
Don't be alarmed.
Apparently, the exorcists were totally outsmarted.
That's good.
Under Construction
Authorized Personnel Only
What the heck was that house?
Bro, let's just go home.
Nothing good has happened since we came to this town.
No, I'm not giving up yet.
Not until I make a killing in this town.
Huh?
Wh-What is that thing?
