Natsume's Book of Friends OVA - Natsume on One Snowy Day ( English Sub )

There was a faint sound knocking on the window. For a moment, someone came to get his name back. It's snowing. Sensei! That raincoat... It's only for you, Sensei. Since he was little, he sometimes saw strange things. Those things that other people can't see, are probably called youkai. Touko-san! The snow is... Touko-san? Are you looking for something? Ah, Takashi-kun! Please, can you help me? Ah, yes. Is this it? Yes, thank you. I finally got it out. Thank you, Takashi-kun. No, what is it? A stove? It's cold in front of the bath, isn't it? It's old, but I think I can still use it. When I was looking for this, a lot of nostalgic things came out, and I was taken aback. The vessels that Shigeru-san made, the souvenirs from the trip... No, I have to get ready for dinner. I'll clean up slowly tomorrow. I'll carry this for you. Ah, thank you. That's right, it's snowing. That's right, it's going to get cold. Um, can I go for a walk? I want to see where it's snowing. Oh, you're like a child. Make yourself warm. The muffler and gloves, too. Yes. The pot tonight. I'll boil some water. Yes. The scenery is different from usual. It's cold, but it feels good. It suddenly got dark. I got carried away and walked too much. I wonder if it was bad on a day like this. I didn't bring my teacher, so I thought a snow woman would come out. There she is! I knew it! But rather than a snow woman, she looks like a snowman. She's pretty fluffy. I have to find her. Are you looking for something? Oh, no! Can you see it? Wait, you mysterious creature! Let's look for it together. I'm sure you can... She's following me. What are you looking for? What do you mean? I'm looking for something warm. Something warm in this snow? Are you cold? Yes. I'm in trouble. This is all I have. Here, I'll give you this. It's cold! Ouch! It's frozen! Don't come near me! If you get too close, I'll freeze, too. It's something more sparkling. Sparkling? That's not what you're saying. This is the first time I've talked to a human. It feels strange. Did you drop that? Was it really around here? I don't know. I can't remember. It's something warm, sparkling, and smells good. Wait, you can't remember? Are you looking for something you don't know where it is? I know I have to find it. I've never forgotten it. I'm looking for it in my dreams, too. You're strange. Let's look for it together. You're looking for something, too, aren't you? No, I'm not. Really? I thought humans were usually looking for something. What? You're always looking for something or forgetting something. Humans are so strange. Anyway, I'm sorry, but I can't help it unless you remember. See you later. Wait, Hyorohyoro! It's cold! It hurts! You, too. Ouch! He's strange. Excuse me. Mr. Shigeru. Takashi? What's wrong? Did something happen? No, it's just that it's snowing so much that I got excited. Is that why you were running so much? It's true that it doesn't snow much around here. When I was a kid, I was excited when it snowed like this. I played with footprints on the snow piled up. I wanted to put my footprints on the first place where no one had stepped on yet, so I ran around. It's a hot pot today. Oh, that's nice. You two are the same. Welcome back. You're caught up in a stupid guy again. He's not looking for a friend, is he? No. He's drinking again. I saw the snow. You didn't see the snow, did you? I didn't make a mistake with Reiko, and I didn't seem to have a friend. Did you say you were looking for someone in the snow? Have you ever heard of it, teacher? I don't remember if I've heard of it or not. It's because you drank too much, isn't it? When there's a beautiful woman, there's something to do. It was like this. What's this heavy thing? That's what this fluffy thing is. Come on, let's go to bed. No, I'm still drinking. I wonder if he's still looking for it. I thought people were usually looking for something. Always looking for something or forgetting something. Maybe that's true. Where am I? I can't see anything. What am I looking for? I have to find it. It's cold. It's too cold! Wow! Did you follow me? It's a mosquito! It's this guy! What is this electricity? It's a stove! It's cold just to be here! It's a heater! I'm here to give this back to you. It's frozen! It's a scarf. It's frozen! Wait, Sensei. I'm here to give this back to you. Let's talk for a bit. So, can you find it? I found something warm. You found it? It was in this house. What? There were a lot of warm things in this house. That's not true. What's in this house isn't what you're looking for. This! It's frozen and I don't know what it is! It's warm. But it's not what I'm looking for. I'm going to freeze! Don't be so violent! I don't want you to tell me! Listen, Mokomoko. It's important, isn't it? Very. Then try to remember. Try to remember what you're looking for and where it is. I got it. I'll remember. Don't sleep! Something nostalgic. Something nostalgic and brand new. Why? Why are you looking for something you don't even remember? I have to find it. Hey! It's warm, but it's not what I'm looking for. It's nostalgic, but it's not what I'm looking for. That and this. They're all different. The mysterious guy said it. For what? Even though I knew it. If I find it, I'm sure I'll know. It's frozen. I got it. Sensei. It's a day off today. Let's go out to put on the first footprints later. What are you so excited about? Come to think of it... Wow, it's melting! What's he doing? This? Was the warmth a memory of a person? Shigeru-san and Touko-san. Surrounded by warm people. I regained what I had forgotten. I tried to forget, and I thought that what I had forgotten was important to me. How far are you going to go? I have to put on the first footprints. I have to go somewhere no one has stepped on yet. A firecracker? What are you looking for? Don't tell me you're looking for that annoying thing! That Musa Musa is surprisingly ferocious, you know? Even if you were to be blown to bits by him, no matter how powerful I am... Huh? Idiot! Idiot! Something's wrong. What's wrong, Mokomoko? I'm so tired. You must be tired. You've been looking all over for me, haven't you? I had to find you. I remembered. When it gets warm, it disappears. It disappears. Are you okay? That's enough. I'm in a hurry. Wait, Mokomoko! Don't come near me! I don't care. Mama... I'm surprised. You found this, didn't you? I didn't notice it yesterday, but... Hey, open it. Okay. I knew it was a boy's treasure chest. Oh, this? I've always forgotten about it. It brings back memories. Back then, this kind of thing was still rare. This is for Takashi. Can I give it to him? No, he's not a kid. You don't need it. It's raining again. Hey, what do you mean it's going to disappear? Is it going to melt like this snow? Hey, are you looking for something? Shut up! A human child! What's that? I can eat it in one bite. It's annoying. I'm going to eat the human child, too. Don't talk too much! I'm sorry. I'm cold and irritated. This is mine. I'm the one who's going to get my hands on it! It's not like that. Let's go home, Natsume. I'm sorry, Sensei. But I feel like I understand why you want to get back what you forgot. So, if possible, I want to look for it with you. Hey, is what you're looking for really something with a shape? What? Then what is it? Like, a memory? You're weird. You say weird things. Is it not? Mokomoko, is there something on your chest? Oh, that's right. Mokomoko? I see. That's a seed. A seed? For hundreds of years in this world, I've been looking for it and wandering around. Knowing that there is a fate, forgetting it is also a fate. One day, on a snowy day, that will be born in my own house, and the flower will bloom and disappear. That is a snow flower. I remember everything. I was meant to be like this. At the same time, what I've been looking for was meant to disappear. Look! It's disappearing? No way! Thank you for finding me, you strange guy. You're funny. You're cute. I'm sure you're also looking for that kind of chaos. Be careful, Natsume. I heard that among the Ayakashi, few people have seen this flower. Since you've seen it, there must be something good about it. Is that true? I don't know. Near the disappearance of the snow flower, a faint scent remained. It's the scent of spring. Welcome back. I'm back. You know, when I was cleaning up, I found a treasure chest from when you were a child. I see. This is what you told Takashi. Snow flower, I don't know what I'm looking for. What can I find from now on? Can I not forget what I found?
