It's day. The clouds were dark and stormy, casting shade over the neon-lit city of Tokyo as smoke, screams, and sirens emerging and echoing from every corner of the city. In a street littered with tipped and burning cars, a woman in tears, shivering with her back against a car, is being approached by a red six-legged, spider-like creature with dozens of glowing yellow eyes all around its head.
"No…..please….please….god…" Woman
The creature screeches at her.
"BELLY BOMB!!!" A voice from above.
Tadano crashes down on the creature, shattering the ground beneath it and sending a shock wave across the block. The woman's eyes widen.
"HUH?!" Woman
Tadano quickly grabs its mouth and rips it wide open.
"IT'S OPEN!" Tadano
Hiro leaps off a building, pulls out an egg, and flings it into the creature's mouth. Tadano shuts its mouth and punches it way, the creature explodes into massivegreen fl,ames. Hiro lands beside Tadano, sweating and panting heavily.
"Nice work, soldier," Hiro
Shiro, sweating, lands in front of them with Miko on his back, unconscious and sweating.
"Finally came to help fry the cheese cake? Damn it, we were really having fun" Hiro
"Apologies, brother. Miko collapsed on the way" Shiro
Miko j.olts up.
"DID SOMEONE SAY REST?!" Miko
"Don't paint your own painting, soldier," Hiro
Miko whimpers. Tadano, sweating, turns to the woman on the floor, stretching out his hand.
"It's all good, lady. " Yolil ' man.an.an.an.an.an.fe now" Tadano
"EEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Woman
She dashes off.
"Oh….right…." Tadano
"This is a disaster….Tokyo's overrun with f?eaks; we have no idea where Razzle is, and leaking like a goat on Christmas." Hiro
"….it's a de.er" Tadano
"… excuse me?" Hiro
"You said a goat on Christmas. It's more of a deer on Christmas," Tadano
"….." Hiro
"Y'know….like a rain deer…" Tadano
"...I don't follow," Hiro
Tadano sighs.
"Alright, family, back to work. Shiro, Status report. How many of these things have we taken out?" Hiro
Shiro pulls out his phone.
"Well, brother, in the last three hours we have rounded up twenty of them." Shiro
"Okay….out of how many?" Hiro
Shiro taps his phone.
"FIFTY…." Shiro
The other Ghosts smile.
"Huh…..NOT BAD" Hiro
"NICE!" Tadano
"BUENO, BUENO!" Miko
Shiro pinches his screen.
"…THOUSAND" Shiro
Hiro collapses on his knees.
"Great Uncle Grimm, take me into your cold embrace." Hiro
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Tadano
Tadano punches a car.
"No es genial, hermano" Miko
"Yes, yes, tragic news indeed, but on the illuminating side, my city-wide scanner is of great use if I do say so myself." Shiro
Miko smacks Shiro's head.
"OW!" Shiro
"Hiro, lil'bro….we can't keep doing this. We need to find Razzle NOW!" Tadano
"Damn it, soldier! I KNOW THAT! The problem is how to find the rabid dog" Hiro
"I believe his more of a red fox…" Shiro
"NOT HELPING!" Hiro
"Noted," Shiro
Hiro, Tadano, and Shiro continue to squabble as Miko looks into the sky. Her eyes widen.
"Uh….hermanos…?"Miko
"Can't we just like start smashing places to find or lure him out or something?! We can even use Shiro's doohickey to guide us," Tadano
"Not a bad plan…" Shiro
"Forman-childr, maybe…we can't just stbreadstickN,GS!" Hiro
"Hermanos….?!" Miko
"Well then, what SHOULD we do?!" Tadano
"Just give me a minute, will you?!" Hiro
"We don't have a MINUTE! Every SECOND we spend not doing a.nything, Tokyo's getting ripped apart!" Tadano
"OH REALLY?!" Hiro
"YEAH! Well…..more than usual anyway," Tadano
"HERMANOS!!!" MikoSister, please…..my sensitive ears" Shiro
" What is it, soldier? We're trying to find Razzle here," Hiro
Miko points at a bright, glowing beam in the distance, blasting into the sky. The rest of the Ghosts eyes are widened.
"Well, tickle my panties…we found him." Hiro
On top of a tall building, the red beam emits from a large, blood-red structure as Razzle looks at the city, smiling at all the chaos. The Ghosts drop down behind, gnashing their teeth with their eyes narrowed;on him.
" Have you seen anything more beautifuATTENTION-SEEKINGinPARENTLESS, even I am left speechless at my own work." Razzle
"It's over, Razzle, just put the rabbit in the hat and surrender quietly," Hiro
"No, I don't think I will…..c'mon we haven't even reached the GRANDIOS EVENT yet" Razzle
"Oh, COME ON! How JOBLESS do you think we are, SENIOR?!" Miko
"I guess your wandering why I'm doing all this," Razzle
The Ghosts look at each other. Then look back at him.
"We…..actually couldn't care any less about your…" Shiro
"It all started when I was a young boy…" Razzle
The Ghosts groan in unison.
"…..my father and my mother owned an antique shop, a shop they gave all their attention to like it was their own child, heck, people thought they didn't have a life with the amount of time they spent on that shop, but of course, they did. And all that child ever wanted was for his parents to at least glance at him, see the wonderful tricks he could pull off with a single gold coin, just like how grandpa could pull off tricks with a single drop of blood, but his parents didn't care; all they wanted to do was focus on that DARN ANTIC SHOP! So naturally, the boy, respecting his parents' wishes but still wanting to be seen for his gift, went out into town to make his talent known to the other Yokais. Unfortunately, there was a little accident, a little misfire if you will, and for the first time in the child's life, he got his parents' attention in the form of a good OL' BEATING. In that moment, the child realized the world doesn't give REWARDS or ATTENTION to those with beautiful talents that could make people OOH and AAH in joy; it gives attention to those willing to do the most VILE and AGGREIGIOUS things, be it intentionally or not." Razzle
"You can't be serious…" Tadano
Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
"Oh, I'm DEAD serious. I mean, come on, you're looking at a guy who can morph gold coins at will, not getting any attention for that ability, but becomes the talk of the underground once he ripped out his father's throat and choked out his mother with it." Razzle
The Ghosts eyes widen.
"Oh right, that's the end of the story, by the way," Razzle
"You're sick, Hombre" Miko
"You think I'm SICK?! I wonder what you're gonna call everyone in this CITY after a blood of rain comes pouring down to give everyone the suddenly trending make over" Razzle
"Uh…..what?" Tadano
"That red beam… he's using it to mutate the contents of the clouds and make it rain blood, the blood he must have used to create those monsters in the city." Shiro
"BINGO BANGO" Razzle
"So….those monsters were…..?" Tadano
"...couple of people who drank my all new and improved blood, you're right on the money" Razzle
"EW…." Miko
Tadano grits his teeth with his eyes narrowed at Razzle.
"You are a monster….and TADANO doesn't play with MONSTERS." Tadano
"This trick is going to go down in the human history books, people…" Razzle
Gold coins spring out from between Razzle's fingers.
"….I can't let you interfere with this" Razzle with a deepened voice
The Ghosts go into battle stances with their eyes narrowed at Razzle as he looks back at them with a wide, devious grin stretched out across his face.
"Alright, team, here's the plan. .Shiro, you're skipping this fight. We need your expertise on that mechanism; we need it shut down as soon as possible." Hiro
"Of course," Shiro
"Miko, Tadano your with me, we're taking that looney tune down, and we're taking him down PRONTO" Hiro
"SI" Miko
"He's about to wish he was never BORN" Tadano
Tadano cracks his knuckles.
"Alright…lets move like a boyfriend and TAKE HIM OUT!" Hiro
The Ghosts altogether bolt off from where they stand towards Razzle. Shiro zooms past the others, flips over Razzle, and lands at the blood structure emitting the beam.
"YOU LITTLE….." Razzle
Tadano swoops and punches Razzle in the face, sending him flying. Razzle tumbles across the floor, then flips back onto his feet. Two long arms thrust into the ground on his sides.
"Huh?" Razzle
Razzle looks up as Miko dives down like a meteor and crashes down on Razzle, shattering the ground, sending out a small shockwave, and creating a cloud of dust. Razzle flies out of the cloud, with scratches all over, and lands on his feet. Hiro launches out from the cloud towards Razzle. Razzle's fist turns to gold as he swings a punch. Hiro slides under his punch, sweep kicks his legs, sending him off his feet, catches him by his legs, spins him around, hurls him away, then tosses an egg at him. Razzle bursts into a massive ball of green flames before crashing into a generator with burns all over. Miko, Hiro, and Tadano surround Razzle. Razzle chuckles.
"One fight was all it took for you guys to know how to beat the crud out of me?" Razzle
"Does a TARTA DE MANZANA taste better with fish, senior?" Miko
"But….it wouldn't be an apple pie…" Tadano
"… what's your point, hermano?" Miko
Tadano sighs.
"Oh well, seems like I'll be using my emergency trick after all," Razzle
"What are you blabbing about?" Hiro
Razzle lets out a devious grin as a plethora of blood-red tendrils burst out from his body and consume him. The Ghosts eyes widen as they leap backwards.
"HOLY GUACAMOLE!" Miko
Razzle slowly rises from the ground with his fur blood red, his edges spikes, his clothes black, the symbols on his eyes glowing bright orange, and his body beefier and taller, and red tendrils slithering out from his back as he continues to look at them with a devious grin on his face.
"TA-DA!!!" Razzle now with a vibration at the back of his now deep voice.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Hiro
"So what do you think? I, for one, think I look OUTSTANDING! More than usual, of course." Razzle
"Things aren't looking too bueno, amigos." Miko
"Maybe it's all show?" Hiro
"Oh, no, no, no, I assure you…" Razzle
Razzle launches at Tadano and punches him, sending him flying and crashing into a wall, cracking it into pieces. Miko and Hiro's eyes widen
"SHOOT!" Hiro
"TADANO!" Miko
"…..I'm STRONGER…." Razzle
Hiro throws a punch, Razzle catches it, encasing Hiro in blood red ice.
"… I'm more PRECISE, more EQUIPPED…" Razzle
Razzle smacks Hiro, shattering the ice and sending him flying, tumbling across the ground and crashing into a railing, denting it.
Miko growls and lunges at Razzle. Red tendrils burst from the ground and catch her by her legs.
"HUH?!" Miko
The tendrils slam Miko into the ground.
"….I'm more HANDY…." Razzle
Razzle kicks Miko away, sending her flying and crashing into a generator, crushing it.
"Ow…..." Miko
"...I'm INVINCIBLE!" Razzle
Razzle laughs maniacally as the Ghosts get back on their feet, gnashing their teeth and clenching their fists.
"SHIRO, STATUS REPORT!" Hiro
Shiro is surrounded by a bunch of broken tools while using a power drill on the structure. The mouth of the drill snaps off.
"GOODNESS GRACIOUS! Sigh…..I need a little more time" Shiro
"OH. WELL, TAKE YOUR TIME! WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD!" Hiro
"Oh, trust me, you don't." Razzle
Hiro buries his face in his palm.
"Yeah, no kidding, you emerald snatcher….I was being sarcastic… Hiro
"TERRAINO DESTRUCTIONO!" Razzle
Razzle punctures the ground with his claws, causing the ground beneath them to rumble.
"That's not bueno…"Miko
"GET AIRBORNE! DOUBLE TIME!" Hiro
The Ghosts leap high into the air as blood-red spikes burst from the ground, covering most of the ground they stand on.
"That darn fox. TADANO, THREE TIMES TORPEDO FORMATION!" Hiro
"RIGHT!" Tadano
"YES! MY FAVORITE!" Miko
Tadano Hiro and Miko simultaneously hurls them headfirst at Razzle.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Miko
Razzle looks up at them with a grin and enlarges his fists. Hiro dives and gets punched away. Miko dives in and gets punched away. Tadano diving down rolls up into a ball and crashes down on Raazle like a meteor, sending out a massive shock wave that shatters the windows of the buildings nearby. Razzle is holding Tadano up with one hand.
"NICE TRY! NOT!" Razzle
Razzle tosses Tadano up and punches him away, sending him flying like a flaming meteor crashing through multiple buildings ahead.
"AND SCENE!" Razzle
Razzle laughs maniacally. Hiro swoops in and swings a kick, Razzle catches his foot and flings him aside. Hiro tumbles across the floor, flips onto his feet, and pulls out an egg.
"FOR MY NEXT TRICK, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL RAZZLE DAZZLE WILL CONJURE FIRE FROM HIS FINGERS!" Razzle
Razzle aims his fingers like guns at Hiro and begins shooting fireballs at him. Hiro dashes forward, weaving and flipping through fireballs, leaps into the air, and flings an egg at him, causing a massive green explosion.
"HA! How do you like them omelettes!" Hiro
"SCRAMBLED ACTUALLY!" Razzle
Razzle launches out from the green flames towards Hiro and punches him in the guts, causing him to vomit. Razzle grins deviously, then proceeds to punch him in the face, knee him in the face, kick him in the groin, then kick him in the jaw, causing Hiro's eyes to go white. Razzle then catches Hiro by his throat and smacks him away, sending him plummeting down and crashing into a wall, causing it to crumble. Razzle lands on the ground.
"And here I thought I was going to be performing in front of a tough crowd." Razzle
Suddenly, a pipe tears through his chest from behind. Razzle's eyes widen and shake uncontrollably at the at the sight of the protruding pipe.
"THE HECK?!" Razzle
Razzle turns around, only to find Miko carrying a bunch of pipes while tossing a pipe up and down.
"¡Ey! Care de idiota! PIPE down, will'ya!?" Miko
Miko chuckles.
"Get it!? Because of the pipes…." Miko
"YOU….!" Razzle
Razzle turns his arm into a blade and spins it at Miko. Miko dodges his arm, dropping all the pipes, and flings one at him. The pipe bashes Razzle in the face. He growls.
"Really, Amigo? Dos pipes in a row…? Miko
Miko gasps.
"Are pipes like your kryptonite?! Because that would be so funny!" Miko
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Razzle
Razzle swings his blade at Miko. Miko cartwheels over it, springs her arms forward, and launches towards Razzle. Several tendrils burst from Razzle's back and sprang at Miko. Miko weaves a tendril, slides under another, flips over the next, tap dances on a tendril, docks another tendril, springs an arm forward, and yanks herself towards Razzle. Miko blows air into her thumb, enlarging her fist like a balloon, then draws it back.
"GET READY, FOR AN ALL YOU CAN EAT BEAT…!" Miko
A tendril grabs her leg.
"Huh?" Miko
The tendril drags Miko, flings her into the air, catches her, smashes her into the ground, and flings her away. Miko bounces off a railing, denting it, and flies back into the air. The tendril catches Miko again, smashes her across the floor, spins her around, and hurls her away, sending her flying and crashing into Hiro.
Razzle draws back his tendrils, pulls out the pipe in his body, inhales deeply, then exhales into a grin.
"Huh, kind of lost my cool there. You guys REALLY know how to tick a guy off, I'll give you that" Razzle
Tadano, from far and behind, is rolled up into a ball, flying at Razzle like a speeding bullet.
" RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Tadano
"That, and you guys never know when to quit." Razzle
As Tadano approaches, Razzle swiftly turns around and smacks Tadano across the ground, shattering it and causing him to unfold. Tadano flies and crashes into Hiro and Miko, crushing them.
"That takes care of that. And now for my FINAL ACT OF THE NIGHT!" Razzle
Shiro is surrounded by even more destroyed tools, sweating, huffing, and puffing at the structure before him.
"Why….won't….you….just…let me…HAVE THIS?!"
Lightning strikes as Razzle spawns behind Shiro with a devious grin on his face. Shiro swings his energy sword at him. Razzle stops it with a finger and kicks Shiro away, sending him flying and crashing into Tadano.
"Now, then, with no further inconveniences left, let's move on to the main event, shall we?" Razzle
The beam from the structure enlarges, sending out red lightning strikes and turning the clouds in the sky blood red. The grin on Razzle's face widens outrageously. The Ghosts slowly get on their feet, groaning with the bruises and slashes all over their bodies.
"Family, I've tried everything. That structure can't be destroyed by any physical means; the only possible way to destroy it now is to take down, Razzle" Shiro
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get to it," Tadano
"You got a death wish, soldier?! He beat the fudge cake out of us! What else can we do?!" Hiro
"We can hit HARDER!" Tadano
"Never in my life have I heard a greater plan," Hiro
"Maybe we could try throwing pipes at him. Pipes are like his kryptonite after all" Miko
"He did look ticked off by that stunt earlier," Hiro
"THAT'S our plan?! Throwing pipes at him till he throws in the towel?! And you say my plan is bad?!" Tadano
"It IS bad!" Hiro
" SAY THAT AGAIN, lil'man" Tadano
"What if it's not necessarily the pipe?" Shiro
"Huh?" Tadano
"What if his weakness is what the pipe nearly got to. Perhaps that's why he lost his composure. Miko was close to taking away the source of his power" Shiro
"AH, VALE, if that's the case, that means his weakness is in his CHEST." Miko
"Precisely, sister." Shiro
"But does it really matter when we can't even get to him?" Miko
Hiro strokes his chin. His eyes widen.
"Their emotions can be their downfall, ESPECIALLY the cocky ones." Hiro
"Huh?" Miko
"That's what Dad said before we left the dojo"
"And that can very much be applied to Razzle, seeing as the moment Miko got close to stopping him, he got furious and couldn't land a proper hit for some time, which then led Miko to getting another hit in successfully. Father's commentary is our way of winning," Shiro
"ALRIGHT! Nice thinking, Lil' man," Tadano
"Of course, it was. Have I ever done any less?" Shiro
"What about that one time…" Miko
" Of course, I haven't," Shiro
"Alright, Soldiers. Here's the plan… Hiro
Minutes pass, and Razzle is still looking at the beam with a massive grin.
"Soon…." Razzle
Suddenly, someone chuckles. Razzle pauses and turns around, only to find Hiro barely standing at a wall, alone.
"You know, for a kid who just lost, you're in a surprisingly good mood. By the way, where's your family at, Hm? I know you guys aren't trying an ambush; you guys know that wouldn't work- or have I overestimated you, kids?" Razzle
"No, you're right; they up and left." Hiro
"Oh?" Razzle
"Yeah… and I don't blame them," Hiro
"Of course, I mean I'd run too if I were ever faced with a yokai with such power." Razzle
"I was gonna say a man child, but hey, your opinion, bread stick" Hiro
"What?" Razzle
"Wait….did you really think they left cuz they couldn't fight? Oh, you beautiful fool, that's not it; it was NEVER IT. The thing is, you're nothing special" Hiro
Razzle's jaw clenches.
"The truth of the matter is, we've faced humans with better chances at pulling this whole charade off better than you. In all honesty, from all you've told us of your past, you sound like an ACUTE FAILURE, messing things up for yourself without any outside interference." Hiro
Razzle clenches his fist.
"Blabbering a whole lot, aren't I? Look, long story short, we were bored; we needed something new, something challenging, something that would be a threat to us and not to itself. We saw a fellow yokai for the first time and got excited, thinking the universe gave us the lottery, little did we know we were actually facing an ATTENTION SEEKING, PARENT-LESS, TRY-HARD, MAN-BABY Hiro
In an instant, Razzle spawns before Hiro, grabs him by the neck, and smashes him through the wall behind, shattering it to pieces and dangling him over the edge of the roof as Hiro gasps for air.
"I think you've overstayed your welcome in this life." Razzle
Hiro musters up a grin.
"F-funny…..I was…gonna….g-give you the s-same tomato….." Hiro
"What are you mumbling about, you STUPID…" Razzle
In an instant, Tadano swoops in from behind and punches Razzle in the back, causing him to drop Hiro and sending him flying up into the air like a rocket.
Miko and Shiro leap out from behind Tadano onto his hands. Tadano simultaneously hurts them at Razzle.
Razzle looks down at them with rage in his eyes.
"WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!" Razzle
Razzle stretches out his hands and begins blasting a barrage of fireballs at them.
"SISTER, NOW!" Shiro
"BIEN!" Miko
Miko wraps her arms around Shiro, spins him around, and flings him at Razzle, sending him flying through the fireballs like a speeding jet.
Shiro smirks, pulls out his energy blades, and begins spinning around like a tornado, slashing his way through the barrage of fireballs, getting closer and closer to Razzle.
Razzle growls, forms a blade with his arm, and thrusts it at Shiro. Shiro weaves the blade and thrusts his blade into the center of Razzle's chest, splitting the blood-red coin within him into two and sending out a massive shock wave of red energy spreading across the entire city. Causing the blood-red monsters on the streets to begin to melt and causing the red beam blasting into the sky to burst out of existence. The clouds turn back to normal and separate from one another, letting the sun shine onto Tokyo once again as thousands of citizens begin coming out from hiding with shock and relief across their faces.
Shiro drops down from the sky onto his feet as Razzle, in his base form, crashes to the ground behind him. The Ghosts run up to Shiro, embracing him while laughing.
"YOU DID IT, HERMANO!" Miko
"NOT BAD, LIL'MAN!" Tadano
" You do us proud, soldier," Hiro
"Don't I always…" Shiro
"No, not really," Hiro
"…..hmm" Shiro
Razzle coughs while getting on his hands and knees, getting the Ghosts's attention. The Ghosts walk up to him, surrounding him with narrowed looks and clenched fists.
"This….can't be happening…I was supposed to be remembered in the history books for years to come. IT WAS MY DESTINY!" Razzle
"It's over, you little twerp! You've caused enough damage as it is!" Tadano
"That's right. And we're gonna make you pay for it," Hiro
" With FISH!" Miko
The other Ghosts look at Miko.
"Is….is that not what we're gonna ask for?" Miko
Razzle's eyes widen. Suddenly, he begins to laugh.
"What is so amusing?" Shiro
"The fact that you're right- I did cause enough trouble; there's no possible way this day isn't going to be stuck in people's minds for the days to come, not to mention, now that I think about it, I'M the first yokai in two centuries to do all THIS. ME!!! I actually won, didn't I?!" Razzle
"You're sick!" Tadano
"Oh yeah…I've definitely won… with more wins underway" Razzle
"Not on our watch," Hiro
"You're watching me? Since when?" Razzle
"Did you hit your head or something, Amigo? We're watching you right…" Miko
"Razzle pulls out a coin and smashes it across the ground, bursting into gold dust and vanishing.
"DARN IT! HOW DIDN'T WE SEE THAT COMING?" Tadano
"Should we split up and search?" Shiro
" No, leave him," Hiro
"What?! Why?!" Tadano
" Something tells me he isn't gonna do better than this?" Hiro
"Huh, guess you're right…" Tadano
"Of course his right." An old raspy voice
The Ghosts turn around only to find their father standing behind them with a large box in hand.
"They never do better after their debut," Father
"Father?" Shiro
"What are you doing up here?" Tadano
"MORE IMPORTANTLY, is that what I think it is, padre?" Miko
"Yes, sweetheart, it is," Father
Their Father opens the box, revealing a bundle of raw, wet fish.
"FISH! YES!" Miko
"As a wise man once said, a celebration without fish isn't a celebration." Father
"Right!" Miko
Miko snatches a fish, sits down, and begins munching on it; the other Ghosts follow her lead.
"Wait! What are we celebrating exactly, pops?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Father
Their father takes a fish and sits down.
" Oh, yeah. Totally" Hiro
Tadano nudges Hiro with his elbow.
"My precious children winning their first real yokai battle and proving why they are members of The Ghost clan" Father
Their father begins to shed tears. He sniffles. The Ghosts eyes widen.
"Dad?" Hiro
"I'm sorry, my children, I just…had an imagination of your grandfather's reaction to your victory. I'm sure he would have been proud," Father
The Ghosts all reveal a soft smile. Shiro places his on their father's shoulder. Their father places his hand on his as he cleans his eyes.
" Enough of all that; let's continue with the celebration," Father
They all continue to munch on their fish. Tadano pauses.
"Pops, be honest, was today as bad as it can get?" Tadano
"…..Honestly, no. Thanks to Razzle's actions, there will be a lot of other Yokai, more powerful and capable, inspired to try their hand at taking over the city. As a wise man once said, it's just how it works" Father
Their father takes another bite from the fish. Tadano makes a sad face.
"Figures" Tadano
"But fear not, my boy, as a wise man once said, as long as we stay together and look out for one another, there is nothing we can't handle; heck, look at what you did today. For reassuring sake, for once, I'm going to let you in on a secret: that wise man was your grandfather, the Ghost of Edo," Father
Tadano smiles.
"That's reassuring…" Tadano
Tadano looks towards Tokyo with his red bandana flowing in the wind as the sun begins to set in the background.
THE END.
