Summer Days with Coo Page #3

Thank you so much.

Now then, I shall return to Ryuujin swamp.

What?

Hey, Kouichi!

Coo, hold on a second!

Is it this way?

Are you thinking of going outside?

You can stay with us!

"A kappa and a human can't live together," that's what Daddy used to say.

Er...

Well, that might be true, but the outside world's changed a lot since you last lived in it.

There are a lot of dangers too...

That's right.

Are there samurai out there?

dad/No. No, there aren't!

There are a lot of different types of danger out there these days.

Guys sure are desperate...

It's best if you don't go out there.

Coo?

dad/Er...

In that case, maybe I'll stay in your care for a little longer.

dad/Please, please.

Isn't your plate dry?

It is.

Bring some water!

Not tap water, but mineral water!

Sure!

Wow! This is good water!

This is spring water.

Can you tell?

Yeah.

Hey, what's Coo's real name?

I can't tell you that.

What?

I was told that if I ever tell a human my name, I'd get defiled or cursed by the human!

We won't do such a thing!

Coo! Because I've been buried in the ground so long, I've forgotten my real name!

What?!

Cheer up. You'll remember it eventually.

Until then, will you be fine with "Coo"?

Coo...

So I wind up taking care of it after all. Its food isn't cheap either...

I'm not talking about you.

Ayame-chan, Hitomi-chan, goodbye!

Bye-bye!

Excuse me!

Thank you.

Well then...

Bye-bye!

What's that?

Snails!

Ossan!

Go away.

Hitomi, don't bully it!

Hi-chan always sits here!

Oh, it's a mai-mai.

It's a snail! Stupid!

It's not stupid! You call it a mai-mai too.

What?

No!

It's eaten it. It ate the snail!

You didn't catch it for Coo?

Don't humans eat mai-mai?

Well, there are cases where you eat it, but...

What? You don't eat it raw!

You cook it properly. It's called escargots...

That's just a Shimeji mushroom.

I won't feed you snails at home.

They're quite good you know, escargots.

You want to try them in a restaurant?

No, I don't want to! I don't! I don't! I don't!

Coo, what other kinds of insects do you eat?

Please, stop it.

Diving beetles, giant water beetles and the sort.

Dragonflies are pretty good too.

Apart from that, worms.

Kouichi, what's this?!

Don't open it! You've got to hide yourself.

This is a bicycle. Something you ride on.

Don't stick your head out, and don't talk either.

Kouichi, something's coming!

That's a car.

That's also a vehicle.

It won't do anything to you.

This is where I found you.

You were buried in that hole.

Is this Kurume river?

Yeah, it's called Kurome river now.

This is Ryuujin swamp?!

What's this building?

Where's Ryuujin swamp gone to?!

Your voice is too loud.
