Madara, known as 'Nyanko-sensei,' encounters two little kids after becoming separated from his temporary guardian Takashi Natsume. Lacking the skills to manage children, Nyanko-sensei attempts a stealthy escape; yet concerned about their safety and protection amid the hungry forest youkai, he chooses to escort the youngsters to a safe spot. Nevertheless, even for an all‑capable youkai like Nyanko-sensei, handling the mischievous and overly inquisitive nature of children can become a daily draining ordeal.
