1. Thanks, guys, for helping out.
Copy !req
2. Eiko, are you good to drive?
Copy !req
3. Yeah, I'm fine!
Copy !req
4. I gotta pull my weight!
Copy !req
5. It's not fair!
Copy !req
6. I went through all that pain, but you get to leave alive?
Copy !req
7. It's not fair!
Copy !req
8. SUFFER AND DIE!
Copy !req
9. That's on me.
Copy !req
10. But don't think you get to rest in peace
after those stunts you pulled.
Copy !req
11. Wait!
Copy !req
12. For a little while, we were almost friends...
Copy !req
13. Then I'll let you decide how to handle her.
Copy !req
14. And so, with the help of our Graduate,
Copy !req
15. we successfully concluded our investigation
of the S-Rank spirit in the F Tunnel.
Copy !req
16. While we walk the world of the living,
the dead drift through the spirit world.
Copy !req
17. These two worlds sometimes intersect,
allowing evil spirits to do harm to the living.
Copy !req
18. This young girl is gathering dark power
to slay the spirit who took her loved one.
Copy !req
19. The grudges of the dead,
used to pursue a grudge far greater...
Copy !req
20. On the way back, we stopped by a temple
Copy !req
21. and entrusted the fifty some-odd victims' spirits
to the priests.
Copy !req
22. That left us with the thirty nearly-evil spirits
and one Graduate-tier spirit.
Copy !req
23. This time, we didn't leave
the injured S Tunnel ghost behind.
Copy !req
24. However...
Copy !req
25. So, where should we hide that arm?
Copy !req
26. I totally forgot about that.
Copy !req
27. You know, I've actually got an idea.
Copy !req
28. Really?
Copy !req
29. Yeah. Can I tell you about it tomorrow, though?
Copy !req
30. Okay.
Copy !req
31. With that all said and done...
Copy !req
32. HOZUKI
Copy !req
33. we got home safe and sound.
Copy !req
34. Well, save for what had happened to me...
Copy !req
35. Go rest.
Copy !req
36. I could hardly turn down the offer, so I quietly accepted.
Copy !req
37. Eiko, on the other hand...
Copy !req
38. I always thought I liked scary stuff.
Copy !req
39. But that was the first time,
I felt my life was truly in danger...
Copy !req
40. I realized...
Copy !req
41. I've been so careless, so reckless,
thinking it was all just fun and games.
Copy !req
42. Is this how Kei-kun and Yayoi-chan
have felt this whole time?
Copy !req
43. Do I still want to stay involved after all that?
Copy !req
44. I want to help them, but thinking about it
makes me shudder with fear.
Copy !req
45. I can't get what happened yesterday out of my head.
Copy !req
46. What do I want to do?
Copy !req
47. I know how to find out!
Copy !req
48. I'm going on a walk!
Copy !req
49. Can I come with you?
Copy !req
50. I said it'd be a walk, but it's more than that...
Copy !req
51. Eiko.
Copy !req
52. Y-yeah?
Copy !req
53. Let's move down a little.
Copy !req
54. O-okay.
Copy !req
55. Den-en-toshi Line for Oshiage
Copy !req
56. It's nice to explore the city by train, isn't it?
Copy !req
57. Eiko, did you have a rough time at the tunnel?
Copy !req
58. Yeah...
Copy !req
59. If you ever get too scared to do anything,
you don't have to force yourself through it.
Copy !req
60. I want my family to stay happy and healthy.
Copy !req
61. Yayoi-chan...
Copy !req
62. When Yayoi-chan's parents died
and she came to live with me, she was only seven.
Copy !req
63. My first impression was that she was a little weird.
Copy !req
64. She liked scary stories...
Copy !req
65. and sweet treats, too.
Copy !req
66. Somehow, we were always on the same wavelength.
Copy !req
67. It wasn't long before she felt like family to me.
Copy !req
68. I went along with ghost-loving Yayoi-chan
and ghost-sensing Kei-kun
Copy !req
69. to support Kei-kun through the fear
that always followed him,
Copy !req
70. and because I loved sharing that sensation with him.
Copy !req
71. When I learned they were collecting spirits,
I was more than happy to help out.
Copy !req
72. But now...
Copy !req
73. I gotta pull my weight!
Copy !req
74. Yayoi-chan... there's a question
I need to answer for myself.
Copy !req
75. To do that, there's somewhere I want to visit.
Copy !req
76. Then let's go.
Copy !req
77. Thanks.
Copy !req
78. That was a rough one.
Copy !req
79. I'm sure Yayoi-chan's fine, but I dunno about Eiko...
Copy !req
80. Up until recently I'd been trying
to get back into normal society...
Copy !req
81. Spirits are naturally drawn to me.
Copy !req
82. It's been three years since I got tangled up
with that spirit at the end of middle school.
Copy !req
83. Because I got Eiko hurt, too, I was so afraid of hurting
anyone else that I didn't leave my room for years.
Copy !req
84. REIO UNIVERSITY
Copy !req
85. REIO UNIVERSITY
Copy !req
86. WELCOME ASSEMBLY
Copy !req
87. But with the help of everyone around me,
I got into college.
Copy !req
88. Private Tutor Square
Copy !req
89. I even got a part-time job.
Copy !req
90. Then, I met Yayoi-chan.
Copy !req
91. At first, I thought she was just some weird girl
way too into the supernatural,
Copy !req
92. but then I learned she
was collecting spirits to build an army
Copy !req
93. and defeat the evil entity that took her dead mother.
Copy !req
94. When I learned we could defeat the spirit that cursed us
to free us both from its influence,
Copy !req
95. I decided to accept
what fate had given me and fight back.
Copy !req
96. Though we ended up picking a fight
not just with spirits, but with an actual god.
Copy !req
97. Or get tangled up with dangerous spirits
who'd harm anyone, friend or foe...
Copy !req
98. Just thinking about it leaves me exhausted,
but there's no turning back now.
Copy !req
99. Still, I worry...
Copy !req
100. Yesterday was a lot.
Copy !req
101. You okay?
Copy !req
102. Don't push yourself, all right?
Copy !req
103. Yesterday was a lot.
Copy !req
104. You okay?
Copy !req
105. Don't push yourself, all right?
Copy !req
106. Yesterday was a lot. You okay?
Copy !req
107. Don't push yourself, all right?
Copy !req
108. Keitaro?
Copy !req
109. Yeah.
Copy !req
110. Next Stop: Otemachi
Copy !req
111. Eiko, I think I know where you're headed.
Copy !req
112. Yeah.
Copy !req
113. One of Tokyo's historic sites...
Copy !req
114. TAIRA NO MASAKADO'S
Copy !req
115. GRAVE
Copy !req
116. TAIRA NO MASAKADO'S
Copy !req
117. GRAVE
Copy !req
118. Taira no Masakado's Grave.
Copy !req
119. TAIRA NO MASAKADO'S
Copy !req
120. GRAVE
Copy !req
121. Taira no Masakado's Grave.
Copy !req
122. Enshrined here is one of Japan's
three most vengeful spirits.
Copy !req
123. This grave is one of the most famous haunted places
in the entire Kanto region.
Copy !req
124. But why'd she come here now...?
Copy !req
125. Have you come here before, Yayoi-chan?
Copy !req
126. A while back.
Copy !req
127. Then I'm sure you know the story,
Copy !req
128. but just in case, I'll read the story
from this ghost-hunting site.
Copy !req
129. Around 900 AD, a familial dispute led Masakado to rebel
against the Emperor.
Copy !req
130. He united the Kanto region and declared
its independence, with him as its new emperor.
Copy !req
131. The Emperor named him a traitor,
and two months later, he was killed.
Copy !req
132. His head was brought to Kyoto and put on display,
Copy !req
133. but before long, anger and hatred corrupted his soul,
and he became a vengeful spirit.
Copy !req
134. His head flew towards Tokyo,
seeking out his body to continue his war,
Copy !req
135. and this is where the head landed- or so the story goes.
Copy !req
136. TAIRA NO MASAKADO'S
Copy !req
137. GRAVE
Copy !req
138. Some believe the famous samurai's grave imparts
good luck in any kind of "battle,"
Copy !req
139. but the same grave is said
to be cursed and haunted, too.
Copy !req
140. After the war, the occupying government
tried removing the grave during reconstruction,
Copy !req
141. but when a frightening number of workers
died at the site,
Copy !req
142. rumors began to swirl about the ghost
exacting its vengeance upon them,
Copy !req
143. and the project was eventually halted.
Copy !req
144. That's why now, even though Otemachi
is home to so many skyscrapers,
Copy !req
145. this plot of land still houses the grave
of the great samurai.
Copy !req
146. Some people say their shoulders hurt
and their head aches when they visit this spot.
Copy !req
147. Eiko, you wanna explain how you headed out
on a walk to answer a question for yourself,
Copy !req
148. only to go straight for one of Kanto's
most famous haunted graves?
Copy !req
149. Look, I needed to come here to figure it out!
Copy !req
150. Go on.
Copy !req
151. So, when I was in middle school,
we went on a trip to see the imperial palace.
Copy !req
152. And Kei-kun was like...
Copy !req
153. Kei-kun, are you okay?
Copy !req
154. Y-yeah, I'm fine...
Copy !req
155. TAIRA NO MASAKADO'S
Copy !req
156. GRAVE
Copy !req
157. I still can't sense anything spiritual,
but I could tell it was a scary place from his reaction.
Copy !req
158. And it was the first place that popped into my head
when I thought of someplace scary.
Copy !req
159. If I couldn't walk all the way here
without fear stopping me in my tracks,
Copy !req
160. then I'd stop coming with you to explore haunts.
Copy !req
161. But I didn't stop walking.
Copy !req
162. The faster my heart raced, the faster I moved towards it.
Copy !req
163. I'm terrified out of my mind, but my curiosity,
my desire, to see the unseen, to know the unknown,
Copy !req
164. to feel that intense feeling again,
drove me to keep going.
Copy !req
165. Now I know for sure.
Copy !req
166. TAIRA NO MASAKADO
Copy !req
167. GRAVE
Copy !req
168. This is who I am.
Copy !req
169. Yaoi-chan, I'm going to keep coming with you
to explore haunted places.
Copy !req
170. TAIRA NO MASAKADO
Copy !req
171. GRAVE
Copy !req
172. It must be in our blood.
Copy !req
173. Huh?
Copy !req
174. I'm tangling with the supernatural to get Mommy back,
Copy !req
175. but there's something else motivating me, too.
Copy !req
176. I'm just like you.
Copy !req
177. Serious terror makes my heart race.
Copy !req
178. I want to feel that chill run down my spine.
Copy !req
179. Well, we'd better keep it up, then!
Copy !req
180. So, Yayoi-chan, is this place actually that dangerous?
Copy !req
181. Not even one of Japan's three most vengeful spirits
can win the battle against time.
Copy !req
182. Really?
Copy !req
183. I would've liked to see him in his prime.
Copy !req
184. If we'd come here when he was in his prime,
what terror would we have felt?
Copy !req
185. TAIRA NO MASAKADO
Copy !req
186. GRAVE
Copy !req
187. Wait, Yayoi-chan! I had another question for you!
Copy !req
188. TAIRA NO MASAKADO
Copy !req
189. GRAVE
Copy !req
190. Don't worry, we'll take care
Copy !req
191. of hiding the talisman!
Copy !req
192. You focus on resting!
Copy !req
193. Don't worry, we'll take care of hiding the talisman!
You focus on resting!
Copy !req
194. Wow, it feels good knowing where I stand.
I've got my mind all made up.
Copy !req
195. Okay! I'm back on the ghost hunt tomorrow morning!
Copy !req
196. But to do that, I need to learn from what's happened.
Copy !req
197. Wait, Yayoi-chan! I had another question for you!
Copy !req
198. What is it?
Copy !req
199. It's about the dolls, actually.
Copy !req
200. What matters more for durability,
the spirit or the physical doll itself?
Copy !req
201. The strength of the spirit.
Copy !req
202. But repairing damage to the doll
can help the ghost recover from its injuries.
Copy !req
203. With some exceptions, of course.
Copy !req
204. Huh. Okay.
Copy !req
205. If the linked person is attacked by a spirit,
Copy !req
206. the damage affects the proxy.
Copy !req
207. So, with that concept in mind,
Copy !req
208. If the linked person is attacked by a spirit, the damage affects the proxy.
Copy !req
209. The proxy's durability is determined by the spirit's strength,
Copy !req
210. but repairing the physical vessel can restore the spirit's strength.
Copy !req
211. if the container is made out of material
Copy !req
212. that can restore its shape even after it's damaged,
Copy !req
213. we could make a semi-permanent substitute
without worrying about the spirit's strength.
Copy !req
214. So if I put this slime inside a hard person-shaped mold,
Copy !req
215. it'll hold its humanoid shape
even if the slime itself takes damage.
Copy !req
216. That would make it a doll that can repair itself indefinitely.
Copy !req
217. Let's put my theory to the test.
Copy !req
218. C'mon.
Copy !req
219. You're happy to help out, right?
Copy !req
220. Anna?
Copy !req
221. There are so many more haunted places to explore.
Copy !req
222. I need to make sure you never disappear on me, Anna.
Copy !req
223. You're gonna be my best friend forever.
Copy !req
224. Ugh, where am I, even?
Copy !req
225. How do I have the worst luck ever?
Copy !req
226. I took the wrong bus, my phone died,
and I bought way too many heavy souvenirs!
Copy !req
227. Guess I was too excited
after my brother's memorial service was finally over...
Copy !req
228. A shrine?
Copy !req
229. Wait, I can just ask for directions!
Copy !req
230. They might even have a map!
Copy !req
231. My, what a surprise.
Copy !req
232. That youngling got himself a whole shrine.
Copy !req
233. ABE NO SEIMEI
Copy !req
234. And quite the big one, too.
Copy !req
235. Perhaps I should pester him a smidge.
Copy !req
236. Now that seems far more entertaining!
Copy !req
237. So, Eiko, you said you had an idea
for a place to hide the talisman.
Copy !req
238. Right, I was going to tell you!
Copy !req
239. Whereabouts are you thinking?
Copy !req
240. Well, we buy ourselves a house!
Copy !req
241. Wait, we can afford that?
Doesn't a house cost tens of millions of yen?
Copy !req
242. You'd think so, but take a look at this!
Copy !req
243. BuyAbandonedProperty. web
Copy !req
244. BuyAbandonedProperty. web
Copy !req
245. "Buy Abandoned Property. web"?
Copy !req
246. It says it matches buyers
with people selling abandoned property.
Copy !req
247. "The dollar store for home ownership"?
Copy !req
248. Yup! You can buy a whole house for about a million yen!
Copy !req
249. They're all old, of course.
Copy !req
250. That's still a lot of money.
Copy !req
251. Which I've got! I've been saving up here and there.
Copy !req
252. Damn, Eiko.
Copy !req
253. So anyways, we find ourselves a haunted house
and turn it into a Graduate dorm!
Copy !req
254. A Graduate dorm?
Copy !req
255. Yeah.
Copy !req
256. From what I know, you didn't have that black rope
when you first got the Graduates,
Copy !req
257. But if you add another layer on top of the other seals,
Copy !req
258. that'll suppress more of their negative effects, yeah?
Copy !req
259. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
260. Then we don't have to keep them so far apart.
Copy !req
261. We could put them all in one place!
It'll make it easy to grab them or manage them.
Copy !req
262. Plus, no one will find out there's creepy stuff there
since the house is already creepy!
Copy !req
263. It'll be even creepier than the cache in my room!
Copy !req
264. That's that! I've got some chocolate to snack on!
Copy !req
265. Milk, not dark!
Copy !req
266. Let's find a place in Tokyo or a neighboring prefecture
that's in a powerful place...
Copy !req
267. The worst Graduates will still cause a little trouble,
so somewhere away from people...
Copy !req
268. This is it!
Copy !req
269. This is way too perfect.
Copy !req
270. He said we can come for a tour now!
Copy !req
271. That was fast.
Copy !req
272. This "dragon vein" of energy flows from Mt. Fuji
Copy !req
273. Mitsumine Shrine
Copy !req
274. to the powerful Mitsumine Shrine,
Copy !req
275. then to the imperial palace.
Copy !req
276. Imperial Palace
Copy !req
277. Mitsumine Shrine
Copy !req
278. Mt. Fuji
Copy !req
279. The house sits right on top of it.
Copy !req
280. It's in a fairly deserted area,
Copy !req
281. and just look at the selling price.
Copy !req
282. 100 YEN
Copy !req
283. It checks off all the boxes.
Copy !req
284. And it's stigmatized property!
Copy !req
285. Here.
Copy !req
286. Are you the owner?
Copy !req
287. I hate scary stuff, so I can't give you a tour,
but feel free to take a look inside.
Copy !req
288. Honestly, I'd pass on it.
Copy !req
289. I know it's the last thing I should tell you, but it's true.
Copy !req
290. My dad was the original owner of the house,
Copy !req
291. but I inherited it after he died.
Copy !req
292. That's when I learned a bunch of horrifying shit.
Copy !req
293. The dad and daughter renting the house
killed a bunch of people, then themselves.
Copy !req
294. But if that was it, people would still
wanna buy the house. It gets worse, though.
Copy !req
295. A female officer who searched the house
after the incident suddenly fell pregnant,
Copy !req
296. and ten days later,
she gave birth to a baby with a giant head.
Copy !req
297. It tore straight through her abdomen.
Copy !req
298. Both of them died right after.
Copy !req
299. Now the neighbors have started rumors about it,
Copy !req
300. saying anyone who goes in will be cursed
to give birth to the murder victims' spirits.
Copy !req
301. They call it the House of the Virgin Conception.
Copy !req
302. Anyway, that's why I can't sell it,
and maintaining it is expensive as hell.
Copy !req
303. If you still want to buy it, that makes my life easier,
Copy !req
304. but I'd feel bad if something bad happened
to you two girls.
Copy !req
305. It looks big enough, and it won't get many passers-by.
Copy !req
306. W-we'll have to check the floors and walls
to make sure it's sturdy...
Copy !req
307. Yeah, and catch any spirits hanging around.
Copy !req
308. Once it's cleared out, then we'll have
the perfect property for our Graduate dorm.
Copy !req
309. Okie-dokie.
Copy !req
310. Let's go inspect the inside!
Copy !req
311. Hello? I told you all that to convince you not to!
Copy !req
312. I'm leaving! Call me later for the keys!
Copy !req
313. Inspection time.
Copy !req
314. Let's ghooo...
Copy !req
315. ooost!
Copy !req
316. They seem to have found the perfect house
to store their Graduates.
Copy !req
317. But under its cursed roof lies unimaginable horrors,
desperate to repeat their deeds with new victims...
Copy !req
