A Letter to Momo Page #5

Synopsis: Clinging to an unfinished letter written by her recently deceased father, young Momo moves with her mother from bustling Tokyo to the remote Japanese island of Shio. Upon their arrival, she begins to explore her new habitat, meeting local children and learning their routines and customs. However, it's not long before several bizarre occurrences crop up around the previously tranquil island. Orchards are found ransacked, prized trinkets start disappearing and, worst of all, each morning after her mother leaves for work, Momo hears strange mumblings coming from the attic of their home. Annoyed by these creepy goings-on and her mother's refusal to believe them, Momo embarks on a strange and supernatural adventure to discover the source of the mischief, which leads her to a trio of troublesome imps: the flatulent lizard Kawa, the childlike Mame and their hulking ogre leader Iwa. Momo also learns that her visit to the island is in some way connected to her father's mysterious letter.

Sorry.

That gave me a scare.

You're telling me!

There.

Gotta use the bathroom.

I'm using it!

Oh, I'm sorry!

What happened to our promise?

We can't leave this place!

What are you talking about?

Goal! He scored!

Don't tell me...

We'll die if you break that thing.

Can you kill people?

You guys aren't people...

W-Wait!

Here, eat.

Y-You stole these?

Eat.

Fine!

You can stay, but don't do anything bad!

'kay.

Mom isn't home... Yokai show up...

What a crazy situation.

It was true...

Momo! Are you in the Sky?

Welcome home.

Thanks.

I bought some snacks. Let's eat them together.

Come down here.

She can't see them?

Umi

We're going to see Kazuo.

What?

My dad's gone.

Does he look like you?

I don't know.

Take a look at his photo on the altar.

Why do you ask?

I'm really forgetful.

Why did I ask?

Now's our chance!

Miyaura?

S-Sorry for leaving without saying anything.

Oh, don't worry about it.

You came here just to tell me that?

Momo.

Hi there.

It's my raincoat!

Did you find it for me?

Y-Yeah... Your name was on it.

Who are you?

Don't mind her.

She says weird stuff sometimes.

Cut it out, it's creepy.

I'm so sorry. Good-bye.

I'll get going.

Go visit your grandparents again today.

See you.

Bye.

Do I look like my dad?

That's great.

Oh, your field was wrecked again, right?

That's horrible.

Did the wild boars do it?

I think so.

You think?

Wild boars should've left more mess behind.

What else could've done it?

I have no clue.

Did you get used to the life on this island yet?

You can ask me anything you want!

Okay.

Did Iku go training again today?

Yes.

What is it?

Nothing.

See you then.

See ya!

I'm going first!

I'm next!

You're next, Youta! Dive head first!

What, again?

Please?

Come on!

You did it!

What'd you do that for?!

I didn't dive in...

You pushed me down!

I thought I was dead.

Listen...

Off you go!

Impressive!

You've got to be kidding me!

I told you not to steal.

Catch and eat fishes!

I don't like fishes.

They have scales and stuff.

Well, I'm off.

Oh, look at that!

She's pretty good.

You'll never see the end of it if you did it for free.

Ask for some allowance!

Have a good day.

Can I ask you something?

Is there anything you can eat on this island for free?

Are you still hungry?

No, it's not like that.

You know, something found in the nature.

You can find as many fishes as you need.

No fishes!

Huh?

Any food other than fishes.

Let's see...

You might find some in the mountains...

Can I really eat until I'm full?

Just order me a deluxe-size of whatever we're getting!

I haven't eaten anything for three days !

I just saw you eat!

Hold on!

Let's ride on this thing.
