At an altitude of 30,000 feet, an endless sea of clouds, three transparent objects the size of raindrops rolled out from a cloud and fell vertically. Silently paddling through the hair of Peach, who was staring at the sea on the ferry, and then fell to the deck, and got off the boat together to the destination - Shioshima.
The mother who returned to her hometown was excited with emotion, while Taozi seemed listless and taciturn. Mom and Momoko will leave Tokyo to return to their long-lost hometown because their original lives have changed dramatically. Taozi's father died in a routine sea work, and left an unfinished letter with "To Taozi" in his belongings, which became a knot in Taozi's heart that could not be solved.
In order to allow Momoko to adapt to life in Shioshima as soon as possible, her grandmother gave Momoko a copy of Yokai records of the Edo period and allowed her to enter and leave the attic freely. However, the concern of the people around could not reduce Taozi's thoughts and apologies for her father. Before Dad leaves for work, Momoko quarrels with him and says "Dad hates the most". Unexpectedly, this became the last memory between her and her father.
Shioshima's life continued, and her mother was too busy with her work to take care of Momoko. At this time, strange things started to happen, the door of the attic closed automatically, the pudding in the refrigerator disappeared, and suspicious shadows appeared on the street. Peaches was horrified and gradually realized that she was the only one who could see the vision.
The blurry shadows become clearer as the number of occurrences increases. In the end, Taozi clearly saw three monsters with different shapes, namely the small bean, the slender but potbellied Ah Chuan, and the huge stone with golden fangs. Peaches is immersed in the pain of losing her father as she grapples with the chaos caused by the invasion of the three monsters.
The arrival of the monsters creates a subtle chemistry that enlivens Peaches' new life. Amid the hustle and bustle, Taozi began to discover the charm of Xidao. This summer island, the breeze is gentle, the bridge is crowded with children preparing to dive, and the residents walk through the quiet streets with green trees. Every frame is as beautiful as Painting. Peach's heart knot began to slowly ease.
Diving is a tradition among the children of Shioshima to prove their courage and friendship. When Momoko finally overcomes her fear and jumps into the cool sea water, the long-suppressed pain of losing a loved one also spreads and dissipates with the splashing water. . Peaches emerged from the water, and the sky above her head looked blue.
As Momoko gets along with the monsters, she discovers the tender heart beneath their ugly appearance, and the warm truth that the monsters have been hiding gradually emerges. Taozi's wounded heart was comforted, the monsters also completed their tasks successfully, and their souls were sublimated. Mom and Peach are also ready to join hands to meet the future days.
Moments of warmth in everyday life, always there. It's just that people often ignore the good parts of life because of changes in their inner feelings. Pain temporarily obscures people's eyes, but cannot destroy the beauty around them.
If life gives you a lemon, squeeze it into juice, add ice cubes to cold water, and enjoy.
