:50:09
And then spring arrived.
:50:14
Now that another
season of love had arrived,...
:50:17
...the tanuki, who had been abstaining,
had reached the limits of their patience.
:50:23
Here and there, whispers
and quarrels of love filled the air.
:50:27
And even the sky glowed
in the celebration of life.
:50:35
Wait up, Hanako!
:50:43
Hanako!
:50:45
Come on, you're doing great!
:50:50
Hanako!
:50:51
Wait a minute, Hanako!
:50:53
Catch me if you can!
:50:55
Don't tease me, Hanako!
:50:58
They're all having fun, but you know,...
:51:00
...we're just like
the grass and the trees.
:51:03
When spring comes
and the sun sheds its light,...
:51:06
...they can't help but bloom
and release their seeds.
:51:14
But us, we'll respect
Old Fireball's warning...
:51:19
...and abstain until we win this battle.
:51:23
Shoukichi-san,
you-you're so wonderful!
:51:28
I'm so happy!
:51:32
Our love will last forever!
:51:37
Shoukichi-san!
:51:46
She shouldn't have done that.
:51:48
Their love just fueled the fire.
:51:50
And like many other tanuki that spring,...
:51:54
...four young tanuki
were born to Shoukichi and Okiyo.
