Inside a closed shoe shop, an old man named Isao packs up to move away. Isao and his family sort through their things, getting rid of what they don't need. Later, something jumps out of a bag thrown out as garbage - Bake-zouri and other tsukumo-gami. They are in shock after being discarded by their owner. Just then, Ratman happens by. He sees an opportunity to make a lot of money, and incites Bake-zouri and the others to go scare those humans who don't take good care of their things. A while later, Kitaro receives a letter saying that things have started moving around on their own, and sets out to investigate.
I was a zori sandal his dad used.
.كنتُ نعل زوري التي كان يستخدمها والده
Ich bin eine Zōri-Sandale,
die schon sein Vater benutzt hatte.
Yo era una sandalia zori de su padre.
Yo era una sandalia zori de su padre.
J’étais une sandale
que son père utilisait…
Io ero uno degli zōri che usava suo padre,
Eu era a sandália zori
que o pai dele usava.
Я одна из сандалий дзори, 
которые носил его отец.
