After the Edo period, humans
have captured tanuki in great numbers...

:43:05
...and turned them into fur coats,
toothbrushes, and calligraphy pens.

:43:09
And so they satisfied
their lust for revenge.

:43:13
All of you, we learned
from this painful experience.

:43:18
And since we kept
our transformations discreet,...

:43:21
...the past few decades have been
the most peaceful years in our history.

:43:25
Do not forget this lesson!
:43:28
The art of transformation
is a double-edged sword.

:43:31
Do not bring the human's wrath upon us
by using transformation lightly.

:43:43
At that point, it seemed the transforming
tanuki had lost their direction.

:43:48
However, it was also autumn, the season
tanuki gorged themselves for the winter.

:43:54
To prepare against the coming winter,...
:43:56
...the tanuki had to eat a lot
to build fat and grow a thick winter coat.

:44:15
The young tanuki
had changed their direction...

:44:17
...and used their art of disguise
for the purpose of gathering food.

:44:24
One day, a single fatigued tanuki
arrived at the construction site.

:44:48
Don't worry. We're tanuki, too.
:44:55
Thank you very much.
:44:57
You seem to be very tired.
Where did you come from?
