1. What the hell...?
Copy !req
2. Ai's god must've done this. I knew it would.
Copy !req
3. It's this powerful?
Copy !req
4. How can we even contend with something like this?
Copy !req
5. I can use this.
Copy !req
6. We'll just have to get even with it.
Copy !req
7. Is that so? And how are you going to do that?
Copy !req
8. You think you would even be a challenge?
Copy !req
9. I know I would beat you.
Copy !req
10. You must be at least five hundred years old.
Copy !req
11. And you're going to "marry" her at twenty?
Copy !req
12. I'm not going to let some god
and his problematic age gap beat me.
Copy !req
13. I prefer my women with larger busts,
but you've forced my hand.
Copy !req
14. Come, then.
Copy !req
15. I'll be waiting.
Copy !req
16. And when the time comes, I will take you instead.
Copy !req
17. Entertain me, why don't you?
Copy !req
18. I-I'm not gonna let you lay a finger on my students!
Copy !req
19. Keitaro...
Copy !req
20. They're not shaking in fear.
They're shaking from how badly they want to kill it.
Copy !req
21. We'll protect Ai.
Copy !req
22. We'll protect everyone.
Copy !req
23. We will prepare a throne suitable for your divinity,
from which you will serve us all.
Copy !req
24. While we walk the world of the living,
the dead drift through the spirit world.
Copy !req
25. These two worlds sometimes intersect,
allowing evil spirits to do harm to the living.
Copy !req
26. This young girl is gathering dark power
to slay the spirit who took her loved one.
Copy !req
27. The grudges of the dead,
used to pursue a grudge far greater...
Copy !req
28. Come, then.
Copy !req
29. It's gone.
Copy !req
30. Make your preparations.
Come at me with everything you've got.
Copy !req
31. I will tear you apart,
Copy !req
32. ravage your body and soul.
Copy !req
33. Fight all you want.
Copy !req
34. Ai's fate will remain unchanged.
Copy !req
35. I think, we're okay now...
Copy !req
36. But...
Copy !req
37. we've suffered huge losses.
Copy !req
38. Here it comes.
Copy !req
39. Get out of the room.
Copy !req
40. Huh? Whoa, hey...!
Copy !req
41. What's up, Yayoi-chan?
Copy !req
42. What's coming?
Copy !req
43. The devouring.
Copy !req
44. That god damaged everyone
and upset the power balance in my room.
Copy !req
45. The weak spirits will be devoured by the strong...
Copy !req
46. so the strong can live on.
Copy !req
47. They'll keep going until there's only one left.
Copy !req
48. Yayoi
Copy !req
49. Yayoi
Copy !req
50. Are they all dead?
Copy !req
51. No.
Copy !req
52. Huh?
Copy !req
53. Yayoi
Copy !req
54. A new Graduate has been born.
Copy !req
55. Yayoi-chan, what do you mean by "Graduate"?
Copy !req
56. Well-
Copy !req
57. What the...? Who's calling me this late?
Copy !req
58. Yayoi-chan
Copy !req
59. Yayoi-chan?
Copy !req
60. Don't pick up.
Copy !req
61. It'll end you.
Copy !req
62. If she hadn't told me, I would've picked it up right away...
The hell is going on?
Copy !req
63. Yayoi-chan, why're you calling me?
Copy !req
64. Eiko!
Copy !req
65. Yayoi
Copy !req
66. Yayoi-chan
Copy !req
67. It won't open!
Copy !req
68. Crap, she doesn't know what's going on!
If she picks up now...
Copy !req
69. Don't pick up the phone, Eiko! That's not Yayoi-chan!
Copy !req
70. Eiko!
Copy !req
71. Yayoi-chan
Copy !req
72. Should I pick up?
Copy !req
73. Kei-kun, what's wrong? Can you hear me?
Copy !req
74. Eiko!
Copy !req
75. C'mon.
Copy !req
76. Pick up the phone.
Copy !req
77. Please...
Copy !req
78. pick up...
Copy !req
79. the phone.
Copy !req
80. That's not Eiko!
Copy !req
81. Kei-kun? Yayoi-chan? Ai-chan?
Copy !req
82. F-footsteps?
Copy !req
83. Pick up the goddamn phone!
Copy !req
84. Eiko!
Copy !req
85. Kei-kun!
Copy !req
86. Thank God...
Copy !req
87. Get it now, Keitaro?
Copy !req
88. These spirits are so powerful
that I can't contain their influence just to my room.
Copy !req
89. They could cause trouble
up to five houses away from mine.
Copy !req
90. That's why I keep them locked up far away from here.
Copy !req
91. They've "graduated" from my room.
Copy !req
92. This'll hold it for now.
Let's call it a night and talk in the morning.
Copy !req
93. In the end,
Copy !req
94. our confrontation with none other than a divine being
Copy !req
95. led to the loss of many of Yayoi-chan's dolls,
Copy !req
96. but also the creation of an evolved spirit:
Copy !req
97. a monster on a completely different level of power
we would come to call a "Graduate."
Copy !req
98. The trade-off for that Graduate
would end up leading us down a new path...
Copy !req
99. The next day,
Copy !req
100. we would return to Ai-chan's apartment to finish up,
then clean up Yayoi-chan's room.
Copy !req
101. This is how we're going to guide the spirits
in and out of the room?
Copy !req
102. Yes. First, we'll keep them
from coming into her bedroom.
Copy !req
103. Here.
Copy !req
104. What's this for?
Copy !req
105. Put these where we want the spirits to go.
Copy !req
106. It'll create a path for them.
Copy !req
107. Now the spirits you attract will come through
those signs, stop here, and leave.
Copy !req
108. Why will they leave after coming here?
Copy !req
109. Wait, is it 'cause it's gross in here?
Copy !req
110. Make sure you clean in here!
Copy !req
111. Ooh, I could buy a vacuum robot!
Copy !req
112. Omigosh, our lives would be so much easier!
Copy !req
113. Probably for the best she doesn't know...
Copy !req
114. You're so right! That's such a good idea!
Copy !req
115. Can you imagine?
Copy !req
116. Time to clean my room.
Copy !req
117. Oh wow...
Copy !req
118. It kinda, like, looks worse than last night.
Copy !req
119. Oh, wow...
Copy !req
120. Hey...
Copy !req
121. I don't know what happened after I passed out.
Copy !req
122. I didn't mess stuff up for you again, did I?
Copy !req
123. No, we just carried you to the couch.
Copy !req
124. Yep! Glad you didn't hurt yourself.
Copy !req
125. Okay. That's good to know.
Copy !req
126. Huh? Oh, crap!
Copy !req
127. What's up, Ai-chan?
Copy !req
128. Sorry!
Copy !req
129. I gotta go to my brother's memorial service!
Copy !req
130. Nakano Station
Copy !req
131. With that, Ai-chan hurried back
to her hometown of Kyoto.
Copy !req
132. And once we'd finished cleaning everything up...
Copy !req
133. Here, drink up.
Copy !req
134. Thanks...
Copy !req
135. Thank you...
Copy !req
136. We're so screwed.
Copy !req
137. We're not just fighting spirits anymore.
We picked a fight with a freaking GOD...
Copy !req
138. I forgot I'm not fighting on my own anymore.
Went a little overboard.
Copy !req
139. Probably should've held back.
Copy !req
140. Whoa, this is new!
Copy !req
141. The only reason we're alive is 'cause that god
is the type who likes to fight like this.
Copy !req
142. I didn't have anything that could deal with a god.
We could've ended up dead.
Copy !req
143. But there's no turning back now.
We need to dig in our heels and get ready to fight.
Copy !req
144. Right!
Copy !req
145. So, as you already know, we're going to travel
to haunted places to capture evil spirits.
Copy !req
146. Those spirits will help us take down the baddie
that took Mom, the Spectre of Death.
Copy !req
147. Go to haunted places
Copy !req
148. and catch evil spirits
Copy !req
149. Create army of spirits
Copy !req
150. Defeat Spectre
Copy !req
151. This was our original plan.
Copy !req
152. The spirits we capture get put
into dolls with a part of ourselves,
Copy !req
153. ATTACK
Copy !req
154. which then protect us from any attacks
brought upon us by other spirits.
Copy !req
155. HITS DOLL INSTEAD
Copy !req
156. OUCHIE
Copy !req
157. OKEY DOKIE
Copy !req
158. We had about a hundred of them.
Copy !req
159. They formed a nigh-inpenetrable defense,
Copy !req
160. and their competition and consumption of other spirits
trained their offensive power.
Copy !req
161. Wait, you brought them here? To our house?
Copy !req
162. Don't worry. I've got substitutes protecting all three of us.
Copy !req
163. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
164. That's your reaction?
Copy !req
165. Last night, however...
Copy !req
166. Our tussle with that god broke the system.
Copy !req
167. Now we have more things on our list.
Copy !req
168. Go to haunted places
Copy !req
169. and catch evil spirits
Copy !req
170. Create army of spirits
Copy !req
171. Defeat Spectre
Copy !req
172. Here's what we have now.
Copy !req
173. We need to catch ghosts to fix the broken system
and get the strength to catch that god.
Copy !req
174. And that god will help us take down
the Spectre of Death.
Copy !req
175. Go to haunted places
Copy !req
176. and catch evil spirits
Copy !req
177. Create army of spirits
Copy !req
178. Defeat Spectre
Copy !req
179. It will also save Ai from her fate as this god's betrothed.
Copy !req
180. So Step One I get. Step Two, though...
Copy !req
181. Create army of spirits
Copy !req
182. Is tough.
Copy !req
183. I know what we have to do,
but how many spirits do we need to catch?
Copy !req
184. Do we just need to keep doing what we've been doing?
Copy !req
185. I've killed a god before.
Copy !req
186. Huh?
Copy !req
187. A different one, of course.
Copy !req
188. Every god is different,
Copy !req
189. GOD
Copy !req
190. but I had to use three Graduates to kill that one.
Copy !req
191. Capturing it would've been way harder.
Copy !req
192. Killing
Copy !req
193. Capturing
Copy !req
194. GOD
Copy !req
195. So we'll need even more firepower.
Copy !req
196. At least six Graduates if we're going to succeed.
Copy !req
197. Killing
Copy !req
198. Capturing
Copy !req
199. We can at least estimate
what we'll need to win. There's hope.
Copy !req
200. Yayoi-chan...
Copy !req
201. Here's our real problem, though.
Copy !req
202. As of right now,
Copy !req
203. I've got on our roster...
Copy !req
204. three Graduates.
Copy !req
205. Not including the one from yesterday.
Copy !req
206. There's also the seven Jizo
who were haunting me a month ago.
Copy !req
207. I had them fight one another
to create a Transcendent Jizo.
Copy !req
208. He's a little bit stronger than my other Graduates.
Copy !req
209. That makes five.
Copy !req
210. We'll take those five with us...
Copy !req
211. as we take a grand tour of haunted Japan
and capture every spirit in our path.
Copy !req
212. You want to go on a tour of Japan...?
Copy !req
213. Yes. We'll continue to seek out our typical haunts,
Copy !req
214. but I'd like to capture
at least one more Graduate-level spirit.
Copy !req
215. To do that, I've put together a map of haunted spots
where the baddest spirits can be found.
Copy !req
216. A City: K Bridge

Copy !req
294. What does "Danger: Unknown" mean?
Copy !req
295. Just what it says.
Copy !req
296. It could be no big deal,
or it could be a triple-S rank threat.
Copy !req
297. If we can capture the spirits from these two dozen places
and add them to what we have,

Copy !req
312. we'll crush that god and the Spectre of Death.
Copy !req
313. I can drive!
Copy !req
314. Guess I just have to bite the bullet...
Copy !req
315. I-it's gonna be hard making our schedules work out!
Copy !req
316. So, now that we're all on the same page...
Copy !req
317. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
318. Let's start today's lesson!
Copy !req
319. Dense... He's so dense...
Copy !req
320. Oh, shoot, I'm behind on homework, too!
Copy !req
321. I'll bunker down and get it done in a jiff!
I'm off to the library!
Copy !req
322. Good luck.
Copy !req
323. Let's call it there for the day. Good work.
Copy !req
324. Keitaro.
Copy !req
325. Let's go on a ride.
Copy !req
326. Riding a bike's pretty fun.
Copy !req
327. She must've liked the ride yesterday.
Copy !req
328. Y'know, she's never asked me
to hang out like this before...
Copy !req
329. I hope everything's okay.
Copy !req
330. We've gotten ourselves into quite the mess, huh?
Copy !req
331. Yeah.
Copy !req
332. Can't believe you went
and picked a fight with an actual god.
Copy !req
333. Don't think we've got enough lives
to survive this boss fight.
Copy !req
334. You did it, too.
Copy !req
335. I surprised myself there.
Copy !req
336. I was so freaking scared,
but I couldn't just sit there and say nothing.
Copy !req
337. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
338. I...
Copy !req
339. I've been fighting by myself this whole time,
all to get my Mom back.
Copy !req
340. But when you stood there to protect me...
Copy !req
341. It showed me you were willing to fight with me.
Copy !req
342. And that made me happy.
Copy !req
343. So happy... that I picked a pretty big fight.
Copy !req
344. You're my problem student, huh?
Copy !req
345. There's something I've been meaning to tell you.
Copy !req
346. Huh?
Copy !req
347. Since I'm riding behind him,
Copy !req
348. and I can't see his face...
Copy !req
349. I can say it out loud.
Copy !req
350. Before, I said you were great to use as bait.
Copy !req
351. But you're more than that now.
Copy !req
352. You're a great partner.
Copy !req
353. Thanks.
Copy !req
354. She asked me to hang out just to tell me that...
Copy !req
355. Anywhere you want to go, Yayoi-chan?
I owe you one. It'll be my treat.
Copy !req
356. Sure.
Copy !req
357. Yayoi-chan, it's practically nighttime... Are we there yet?
Copy !req
358. Not yet.
Copy !req
359. Wh-where... the hell... are we going?
Copy !req
360. To a spot I hadn't marked on the map from earlier.

Copy !req
377. Wait, hold up!
Copy !req
378. With Eiko out of the house,
she'll be safe without the broken security system.
Copy !req
379. And now I've got this new, "Graduate,"
and I can't keep it in my room.
Copy !req
380. I'm not gonna let this perfect opportunity slip by.
Copy !req
381. I have a super bad feeling about this...
Copy !req
382. It's not just a feeling. I know this isn't gonna be good.
Copy !req
383. This spot was on both the Tokyo list and the national list,
Copy !req
384. Tokyo
Copy !req
385. cause it's one of the worst places out there...
Copy !req

Copy !req
391. Keitaro and Yayoi head to an S-Rank Danger
to gather strength for the coming battle.
Copy !req
392. Little did they expect the despair awaiting them there.
Copy !req
