Mana is hungry after the school's opening ceremonies, so when her friend Aya mentions her parents run a cafe, Mana goes over to her house. The cafe is quite impressive, but there are no customers. Mana finds a god of poverty, Bimbougami, on the premises. At first, Aya can't believe it, but as soon as she sees it, she asks Kitaro to get rid of it. Bimbougami says his presence is maintaining the peace in their family, but Aya refuses to listen. She presses Bimbougami to get out. After Bimbougami leaves, Aya meets a mysterious child in town. Who is this child? And what is the truth behind Bimbougami's words?!
It's the new year and already you're up to
no good?! Year of the rat or not...!
إنها السنة الجديدة وتسعى للمصائب
!...بهذه السرعة؟! لا تخبرني أنها سنة الجرذ
Schon zu Neujahr wieder so ein Mist?!
Mir egal, ob Jahr der Ratte ist!
¿Es Año Nuevo y ya estás con eso?
¡No importa si es año de la rata!
¿Es Año Nuevo y ya estás igual?
¡Me da igual que sea el año de la rata!
Déjà en train de magouiller
au Nouvel An ?
Che cosa combini già da Capodanno? 
Non è che perché è l'anno del topo...
O ano acabou de começar e você já está
aprontando?! Não interessa que é o ano do rato!
Только наступил Новый год, а ты уже 
напортачил! Мне всё равно, что год крысы!..
