Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Oof.

Heave ho. Hey, give me your pack.

I'm fine.

I think we're lost.

I have no idea how much farther we have to walk.

Now hand it over.

Heave ho. Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Oh. Hey, what's wrong, Jiro?

It's a good thing we left Aki behind.

Why's that?

Because women get in the way at times like this.

Don't get cocky.

Heave ho. Hup.

Bro! Bro!

Whoa, hey! What? What?

There!

This horse votive isn't a horse but a cow.

Yeah. In India, cows are treated like gods.

It's a little rare in Japan, though.

Are you lost?

Oh, yes we are.

But it'll be hard to return to town now, won't it?

It'll be night.

That's why we thought we'd spend the night at this shrine.

What?

This mountain gets painted white with frost in the morning.

I don't have much, but you can stay in my hut.

Thank you very much.

Bro! Huh?

Look, mushrooms. They look good.

Oh, Professor! Professor, wake up.

Are you the owner of this hut?

It looks like you're lost as well.

Could you let us stay the night?

If you're fine sharing with these two, you can stay as long as you like.

Hold it right there.

Professor, go ahead.

Ah, right. Pardon us.

Pardon us.

It's an earthquake.

Yeah. You're right.

Bro, could it be a monster?

Jiro, stay here.

I thought I heard a roaring.

It happens once or twice a year, during the full moon.

It's a nasty voice.

Is there something where the voice is coming from?

A marsh, I think. A clear, bottomless marsh.

Is something there?

I don't know.

Ah, I'm sleepy. What's going on? Huh?

Mister! We heard a monster's voice!

A monster?

What are you saying?

There aren't even wolves in Japan's mountains, much less monster.

Exact.

Did you hear it, too?

Yes. I'm sure I heard it.

In such deep mountains, people often suffer identical illusions.

What happened to you we scientifically call, "mishearing."

Indeed.

Now let's get some sleep. Brr, it's so cold.

I'm not so sure.

Last night's voice sounded like a cow's made really big, didn't it?

Yeah. But it only sounded once.

It could have been our imagination.

Of course it was. Just your imagination. Yup.

No, I definitely heard it!

It was your imagination.

We have these scientists here. Why don't we have them check it out?

Hmm, what is it? Something peculiar?

We are folklorists. We travel rural areas studying various things.

Show us whatever. Right.

Actually, behind the shine,

there's a valley full of bones of some animals that are similar to cows.

Cow bones this deep in the mountains?!

Indeed, let's go right away!

Yes, there's definitely something.

Heave ho.

Heave ho.

Ahead is a steep cliff. Be very careful.

Right. Right.

Jiro, watch out.

Careful now.

Heave ho.

Whoa.

Heave ho. Heave ho. Heave ho.

Hey! Don't touch anything until I get there!

Yes, Professor!

Ah...

This is magnificent.

This is good. These are indeed water buffalo bones.

They must have lived here back when there was water in this area.

It seems so. Yes. Good eye, no?

There was a shift in the geology.

Water and food disappeared and thus the water buffalo's bones are here.

Bro! Then, the cow god worshiped at that shrine,

might have something to do with these water buffalo bones.

Mitani-kun! Let's take lots for samples! Yes, sir!

Yes, Professor, right away. Let's take them back immediately.

Oh, um, could you not do that?!

Huh? Why not?

If we can determine that these really are water buffalo bones,

we'll know there was water here and it would be a great geological find. Get it?
