Tập 7: Watanuki và Doumeki điều tra một người phụ nữ bất động trong khu vườn riêng trong khi Neko-Musume đang múc nước.

7

The Neko-Musume (cat-girl) asks Yuuko to lend her Watanuki for a job: Watanuki is to draw water from a well in exchange for an egg. To access the well, Watanuki is forced to trespass into a private garden of a house and notices a woman sitting motionless at a high window. When he returns for more water with Doumeki, the woman's position is unchanged. Watanuki establishes that the woman is not a spirit, because Doumeki can see her with his normal eye. Later, Watanuki 'pinky-promises' Himawari that he won't overwork himself. When he next collects water, his little finger hurts and the wrapper of his water container is blown into the window of the woman in the house. Doumeki and Watanuki enter the empty and silent house. Doumeki and Watanuki find the woman, who falls inert to the floor in a gust of wind. Watanuki assumes she's a doll. Yuuko appears and asks Doumeki who says that it is a corpse. Watanuki protests that a corpse would have putrefied in the summer heat, but Doumeki points out that, according to his grandfather, corpses of the modern age do not rot because of the preservatives people consume. Meanwhile the Neko-Musume retrieves a dead kitten from the almost-emptied well. As she leaves, she comments on the miasma around Watanuki's little finger. This indicates that something is strange about Himawari. (Source: Wikipedia)
