Mushishi Zoku Shou 2nd Season

And we broke

Everything that was right

We both enjoyed a good fight

And we sewed

All the holes we had to breathe

To make the other one leave

And I loved

The way you looked at me

And I miss

The way you made me feel

When we were alone

When we were alone

And I'll shiver like I used to

And I'll leave him just for you

And I'll shiver like I used to

Mushi-Shi

Mushi-Shi

Just for you

Like I used to

The mushi are restless here.

The Cushion of Grass

What are you?

Are you planning on eating me?

Are you afraid of me?

Nah, you're just watching me...

and trying to figure out what I am.

Well, looks like you're human after all.

Green eyes...

and white hair.

I've heard of you.

"There is a unnatural child who attracts mushi and causes disasters wherever he goes."

I've also heard that plenty of mushi-shi have taken you in.

Did another one throw you out or something?

Why stick around and let mushi get lured in?

You can prevent disasters from happening as long as you keep moving, you know.

I do it to earn my keep.

I attract mushi, and the mushi-shi resolves whatever problems arise.

It's just that every now and then, things get out of hand.

Those are the kind of people who usually take you in, huh?

I'm Suguro.

I'm a mushi-shi who lives in these mountains.

Let's see...

Oh?

A Tokoyami, or "Eternal Darkness" mushi, is trapped here.

You were probably swallowed by one in the past.

That explains your peculiar constitution as well.

A Tokoyami?

None of the other mushi-shi told you?

It's a mushi as pitch-black as pure darkness.

Your memories before a certain point have disappeared too, right?

It also eats memories.

So if you take it out,

I'll become normal again, right?

It's just a mushi trapped in your body.

Tokoyami don't attract other mushi.

Sorry to say, but that's all you.

People like you crop up every so often,

but no one's ever found a way to treat that condition.

Unfortunately, all you can do is accept it.

In any case, I scattered the mushi that were surrounding you.

It should hold for a few days.

Before you go, you should regain your strength so you don't collapse again.

Is there a River of Light here?

Yeah, there is.

Then... that must have been the mountain lord.

You don't have to keep an eye on me, you know.

It's not like I'm going to settle down here.

"Ginko," was it?

If you're well enough to walk, come with me.

Did they teach you anything about basic herbs, at least?

A bit.

The herbs on this mountain are especially potent.

Take some with you.

Learn how to make mushi-repellent cigarettes yourself, too.

It won't just lessen the effect you have on your surroundings.

It'll also protect you from any mushi-related diseases.

A beautiful place, isn't it?

I can't let you stay for long,

but if you stop by once in a while just to say hello,

I'm sure the mountain lord won't mind too much.

Hey, Suguro.

Hey.

That boy's not from around here, is he?

I'm just looking after him for a little while.

You could say he's my apprentice.

Hey, where are your manners?

Hello.

I see.

Well, good luck to you, kiddo.

So, how are things looking?

Do we have a new mountain lord yet?

No, not yet.

Shouldn't a new one have been born by now?

Yeah...

Come now, there's no reason to be so concerned.

Worrying won't make a difference.

The flowers will bloom and bear fruit like they do every year.
