House Page #4

- A really old one.

Step aside.

- Ah, a Karate flick!

Stop that, it's not doing any good.

- Why?

Surely there's a mechanism.

A mechanism?

Auntie lives alone.

So she's set it up so that the doors

close automatically during night.

Do you think she can do that?

- Sure of it. It must be.

I heard a while ago that

she studied music in Tokyo.

So she's educated.

- Educated...

That's it!

- What? - What?

We simply ask her, how to

open the door! - Exactly!

Auntie?

Auntie!

- Auntie?

A human hand!

- What does that mean?

That's Mac's tie!

Could it possibly be...

What do you mean by that?

Oh, nothing, it's nothing.

Melody, give us courage, play something!

No!

I'm afraid!

- Please!

Yes, that's a good idea! - That b

to the g simply strengthens me!

Shouldn't Oshare slowly

be coming back?

Somehow everything happens

as in your fantasy, Fanta.

But... simply too many

unnatural things happen here.

But say, Gari,

what were you thinking a while ago?

Can't tell.

Why?

I'm not sure yet. And Fanta

would faint from fear.

Why?

- No.

That's Oshares voice!

It is! When did she come back?

Oshare!

- Shall we look for her?

Let's!

No! I'm staying here. Okay, Melody?

Shall we go?

- Yes.

Oshare!

Melody, turn around! Melody!

Oshare!

Melody, turn around! Melody!

Oshare!

What the? They're gone.

Oh, how indecent!

"Desert, idle days".

Oshare!

Give me the lamp.

That is unscientific. Absurd!

Unnatural and unpleasant!

Strange.

Great! Kung Fu, you're awesome!

Sweet!

Forgive me!

Kung Fu!

It can't be!

I don't believe my eyes!

Is something like that even possible?

What are we going to do now?

Look there, legs out of the room!

Fanta!

Melody!

Fanta! Wake up!

Fanta!

Wake up! Fanta!

Wake up! Wake up!

Don't be like that!

Here, drink that!

Melody! Melody!

You were right!

This house is an angry ghost!

What is that? Goldfish! - Fanta!

Oshare herself is now a ghost!

It can't be! No!

You don't have to believe it. But

the three of us must stick together!

That's right. To survive.

Yes.

These noodles are class!

Many thanks! Here you are!

Ah, there they are!

Thanks, that was delicious!

Excuse me.

Perhaps we'll see each other

again sometime!

Live well!

Mr.?

- That's good as hell!

Fast! That way we can protect

ourselves a little!

"In the village lives no longer

any single young women.

I am all alone."

"But i will always remain

in this house, waiting.

He is surely not dead.

Surely he will be back.

He did promise me."

Strange!

- Fanta!

Oshare? What's happened?

I...

I'm now in auntie's world.

- Auntie's world?

Lips! - Too big! - Auntie

has already been dead for many years.

Many years? And who was

the woman we met today?

She's longing to marry,

and thus lives on after her death.

And when unmarried girls

come here,

she eats them up.

Only then can she

carry her bridal gown.

And now it's your turn.

Nice meal.

We're all going to die!

Away, begone!

Oshare, help us!

We're friends, after all!

Impossible!

Oshare is no longer herself!

Oshare!

- Fight!

Dear God, protect us!

What's that? What's that?

I can't allow that!

- Are you going to leave us?

The telephone!

- I'm afraid!

She said before,

it's broken!

- That was a lie! - Wait!

Trust me!

No! No!

I get no air!

Oshare! Miserable ghost! Come here!

Why, here's no house

to be found!

"I will remain here waiting,

with Snowflake in my arms.

In this house."

Snowflake! Snowflake!

Kung Fu!

We have to kill Snowflake!

Everybody okay?

- Kung Fu, hold out!

Mac!

Sweet!

Melody!

Kung Fu!

She made it!

The diary!

"Surely he will be back.

He did promise me."

Promise...

"I will wait!"

Gari!

The cat's blood!

"With Snowflake..."

"In this house..."

Mr. Togo! - Who knows, if he'll come.

- He promised!

Did not!

- Did so!

He promised me! - But not auntie!

Not the house!

Not the house.

I'm lucky! Where is it?

The girls were...

eaten.

Eaten!

Tasty!

Do you like melons?

- I hate them!

What do you like?

- Bananas!

Bananas! Bananas!

Nanaba, Nanaba, Nanaba...

"Got a letter from Oshare. Finally

girls are coming here again!

Snowflake fetched it."

Snowflake? Snowflake!

I can't see! My glasses!

Gari!

Gari! Gari!

Don't leave me!

Snowflake!

Oshare! Oshare!

It's all made up, isn't it?

That you're an angry ghost...

Thank God! Thank God!

Oshare!

Fanta!

Fanta!

Oshare!

It isn't true, is it?

It isn't true, is it?

I'm so tired.

Mum...

With one gaze

you have bewitched me,

in this room,

in which one can see the flush of dawn.

The butterflies,

which from the darkness

into the flowery garden dances,

will soon be here.

Don't you want from this day on

to stay in my house as my wife?

Let us live together in intimate

togetherness!

Pardon, is anyone at home?

Without love

the morning never comes.

Pardon!

Is anyone at home?

Pardon, is anyone at home?

When my hand

touches your body,

the little birds

fall asleep.

My heart's pendulum...

swings alone...

Good morning.

Will you reject

my love?

Oshare!

Don't you want from this day on

to stay in my house as my wife?

Let us live together in intimate

togetherness!

Come.

I'd love to, many thanks.

I'm very happy,

that you come to visit.

How are your friends?

Asleep already?

Now...

They'll soon wake up.

They're all hungry.

One always wakes up,

if one has hunger.

Even when the body decays,

you may always live on

in the heart of another

together with the love

of that person.

Therefore the story of love

must always be retold.

So that the one you love

can live on forever.

Live forever,

the feelings of the beloved,

which never fades,

only one promise...

That is love.
