A Letter to Momo Page #3

I already asked Grandma to make lunch for you.

Go and eat with them.

See you!

Mom...!

Ikuko is gone.

What are you still doing here? Follow her, Mame!

Let's go do something about our hunger!

What's Momo doing?

I've got no clue. She was sleeping just now.

Whatever, I'm starving.

Me too.

We came to pick you up!

Where's your swimsuit?

I'll go get changed.

There you have it.

She's one of us starting today.

Got it?

Got it!

Nice to meet ya!

Nice to meet you.

I'm happy to see another girl in our group.

Nice to meet you, Miyaura.

Nice to meet you.

All right! Let's go!

Get ready.

It's a bit high, but you won't be scared after the first jump.

Off I go!

What?!

Watch, this is how you do it.

Hurry and jump, Youta!

Watch this!

Can you do it?

No one's forcing you to jump!

I'm not done!

Are you going home, Momo?

Sorry.

Man, it sucks! I hate rain and lighting!

I'm so sick of it!

Your form right now somehow doesn't look like water would be a problem, though.

What? You must be joking!

That was a big one.

The rule is, we have to get our own food in this world,

but all we get are these green tangerines.

I want to eat some meat!

Yup, me too.

Huh?

Oops, I sat on Momo.

She saw us.

What should we do?

The tangerine field was wrecked again.

When is the city do something about it?

I need them to get rid of the wild boars soon.

What's the matter?

It's yokan made from lemon grown on this island.

Help yourself.

My father loved to collect these when he was alive.

He called them "Guardians," if my memory serves me right.

They used to be gods,

but they were relegated to yokai.

They were gods?

Actually,

my father said he saw them.

He told me that it's a secret when I was little.

They're horrifying, from what I heard.

Have some.

These are pretty good. Not too sweet.

I-I just met...

Right, then he said...

"I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone.

Something bad might happen."

But then again...

I wouldn't say my father's a lier,

but he sure liked to exaggerate things.

That story's no exception.

Still, when I look at them,

I think they have funny faces, rather than scary.

Why didn't Mame follow Ikuko to Imabari?

He's asking you.

I missed the ship.

Hear that?

Oh!

He's the one in the middle.

Your great-grandfather.

He's always watching over us.

It's funny when you think he's watching.

It makes me want to act responsibly.

What... exactly should I do if I met one of those yokai?

They'll get you if you're feeling scared.

Muster up the courage and glare right back!

They'll think you're tough, and stay away from you.

They're actually cowards, according to my old man.

I don't know if it's true though!
