Innocent fox yokai Yahiko finds a cute little yokai in the mountains.
Yahiko brings the yokai home and names her Kinako. Yahiko dotes on Kinako, and she grows fond of him.
However, Kinako is too weak to remain in the mundane world and will eventually disappear.
Wanting to save Kinako, Yahiko asks Abeno and Ashiya to exorcise her, but Kinako and Yahiko find themselves at odds when she refuses to go without Yahiko, but Yahiko can't return to the Underworld.
Ashiya suggests a compromise--
even if it means never seeing her again, 
I'd rather have her be well over there.
ist es besser, dir geht es dort drüben gut,
als dass du verschwindest.
prefiero no verla más y que esté sana.
Même si ça veut dire ne plus te voir,
je préfère te savoir saine et sauve.
mesmo que signifique nunca mais vê-la,
prefiro que ela fique bem lá.
