"Variable Tanuki", with the expansion of the city as the background, tells the changes in life from the perspective of the ever-changing civet. The chubby civet cats, with an optimistic personality and a magical way of changing, can invisibly dilute the pain caused by life changes to the civet cats.
The story begins when human beings move out of the wooden house in the mountain village, and the civet cats who live in the human house, after enjoying a happy time, ushered in the destruction of the house by the excavator and the shrinking of the living area. The shrinking of the territory in turn leads to overpopulation and insufficient food, which in turn leads to the killing of the populations.
If there are no civet cats like Granny Huoyu, most of them will be like other animals, constantly reducing the number of individuals in the battle of the population. Until the final number is no more than the environment can carry after the change. Of course, the carrying capacity of the changed environment for a species may be zero.
Huoyu's mother-in-law's warning united the civet cats in the area. They found a TV from the waste pile to monitor humans, and formed an organization similar to the Human Parliament, and elected the oldest monk tortoise as the leader to deal with this unprecedented huge change. This parliament is naturally divided into several factions, some advocate tough resistance, some advocate communication, and more do not know how to deal with it. Fortunately, the council finally formed a relatively stable five-year plan, that is, birth control, revive the art of change, and find the help of the world.
In the first year of the plan, the effect of birth control was obvious, and the widely popularized civet cat transformation technique also achieved good results. From basic exercises, to social practice, and the final assessment, quite a few local civet cats have mastered the art of transformation.
The first change brought about by the blessing of the Art of Transformation is that the hard-line civet cat, representing Quan Tai, led his subordinates in a territorial defense battle against humans. The traffic accidents they created caused human discussion of development plans, and also caused the civet cats to temporarily worship the struggle of Quantai. Just as Kwon Tai and the tanuki started to celebrate, TV surveillance showed that human development did not stop due to the accident. Faced with this result, the civet cats were a little disheartened.
Fortunately, the Art of Transmutation also brought another change. That is to finally send two master changers to Shikoku and Sado to find Shiwai Gao Tan to help!
Time flies, and the civet cats waited for the world-class raccoon from Shikoku, which gave them hope again. The three elders of the four kingdoms who came from afar are not only powerful in the art of transformation, but also very assertive in how to deal with human beings. Therefore, the plan to use a parade of ghosts to deter human development quickly won the support of the civet cats.
Everything was ready, night fell, and the parade of ghosts and monsters formed by the three elders and the local civet cats began. All kinds of monsters in different shapes and all kinds of golden gods and Buddhas did not cause panic among local humans, but made them curious to pick up cameras and video cameras to record this peculiar phenomenon. The more excessive human being, the owner of the playground, even attributed all this to his own credit.
The three elders and the local civet cats, who spent a lot of energy, completely lost their confidence in confrontation because of the failure of the ghost parade. They also later learned that in human society, there are foxes who live by transforming into adults.
The tanuki that came back from Sado did not bring the world-class tanuki. Facing the hometown that had changed beyond recognition, it was crying in pain. Its sadness also made the civet cat propose to use the technique of transformation to try to show the original appearance to have a look. As a result, the optimistic civet cats gathered their strength to cast spells again.
Around the construction site and buildings, verdant trees have transformed into a wavy farmland, as well as the former dirt road and working peasant women. Of course, there are all kinds of wild animals that are common in the fields.
This accidental change, on the contrary, aroused the protection of human beings for the animals that originally lived here. In the subsequent development, humans try to leave as many places for animals as possible to survive.
In the end, the tanukis who couldn't stop the change chose to compromise. Some civet cats have transformed into humans and integrated into the life of the city. Those civet cats that do not change are also gradually adapting to new places such as parks and golf courses.
When night falls, I don't know those civet cats who have been busy all day among humans. Will you rush to a green space, meet the immutable civet cat under the moonlight, and enjoy a different life unknown to human beings!
