...the winter ended, apricot flowers
bloomed, and the season of love arrived.
:14:08
But most of the tanuki
heeded Old Oroku's warning...
:14:12
...and tried to discipline
themselves not to have more children...
:14:15
...until they had won the battle.
:14:19
In particular, the female tanuki
suppressed their basic instincts...
:14:23
...and fended off the males' advances.
:14:33
Meanwhile, the big construction
project progressed steadily.
:14:37
The forest was cut, the land was leveled,
and the housing site continued to grow.
:14:41
The tanuki watched this
in anger and sadness...
:14:43
...and nicknamed the area
``Faceless Hill.''
:14:48
Mr. Postman.
:14:50
You dropped something.
:14:52
That year, since they
were freed from raising children,...
:14:56
...the female tanuki also began
to practice the art of transformation.
:15:01
Male tanuki had some problems
transforming into females and children.
:15:06
But with the females participating,
the problem was solved.
:15:11
Of course, some female tanuki
wanted to transform into human males.
:15:18
Oh, uh, will all the males
stay for a bit longer?
:15:23
One day, the Tsurugame priest held
a special lecture for the male tanuki.
:15:30
Well, this blanket
you fellows are sitting on...
:15:35
...if truth be told,
is actually a part of my body.
:15:39
My privates.
:15:41
It's 8' by 12' in size.
:15:43
And here is the proof.
:15:58
The final field test
for their transformation had begun.
