One day, Mana goes with her mother, Junko, to visit her great-aunt, Yoshiko, in the hospital. Her great-aunt asks her to see if the flowers around her house are blooming. When she arrives at her great-aunt's house, Mana is surprised by the spectacle before her. Bright red flowers bloom proudly not just in the garden, but on the roof and the walls, too. She takes a picture of the incredible flowers and sends it to Cat-girl. While Mana is listening to stories from her mother about her great-aunt when she was young, Kitaro and the others arrive. Daddy Eyeball says the flowers are youka, bewitched flowers, and that they bloom by drinking in yokai energy or spirit energy. Wanting to know why the yoka are blooming at her great-aunt's house, Mana goes with Kitaro and the others to the place the flowers come from, an island in the south.
Soujiro-san didn't give up, angering them,
and he was forced to enlist in the army.
لم يستسلم سوجيرو-سان
فأغضبهم، وأُجبر على التطوع بالجيش
Doch Sōjirō gab nicht auf,
zog ihren Ärger auf sich
Se enojaron con Sojiro-san por no 
rendirse e hicieron que se alistara.
Se enfadaron con Sojiro-san por
no rendirse e hicieron que se alistara.
Il subit leur courroux,
fut contraint de s’engager
Di come, non intendendo rassegnarsi, era incorso nella loro ira,
Sojiro não desistiu, e por irritá-los,
foi forçado a se alistar no exército.
Но Содзиро не сдался, тем самым рассердив их. 
Они заставили его пойти в армию.
