1. Today marks the end of Golden Week.Copy !req
2. Once school starts back up,
it'll be harder to visit haunts on consecutive days.Copy !req
3. So let's give this one 100%.Copy !req
4. Right.Copy !req
5. This building falls on a dragon vein
that flows from Nikko Toshogu Shrine to Edo Castle,Copy !req
6. and is built upon a point
where spiritual energy naturally pools.Copy !req
7. It's an old love hotel.Copy !req
8. N-not a place we should bring a kid...Copy !req
9. I've never been to a love hotel, abandoned or otherwise.Copy !req
10. Yeah. I know.Copy !req
11. You would.Copy !req
12. Neither have I.Copy !req
13. But you'll fix that, right, Kei-kun?Copy !req
14. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?Copy !req
15. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?Copy !req
16. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?Copy !req
17. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?Copy !req
18. Th-that's kinda a big deal, s-so might we
broach this topic of conversation at another time?Copy !req
19. Sure. Don't forget.Copy !req
20. Keitaro.Copy !req
21. Don't know what you guys are talking about,
but can we get back to it?Copy !req
22. Y-yeah!Copy !req
23. Stories say the ghosts of women
haunt the halls of this love hotel.Copy !req
24. It was once owned by a criminal enterprise.Copy !req
25. Their leaders would drag women here,
have their way with them, then kill them.Copy !req
26. His victims were drugged, then died either from
overdose or the violence inflicted on them.Copy !req
27. Now, their spirits are bound to the hotel,
wandering the halls in a desperate attempt to escape.Copy !req
28. That's the story I found online,
but from what I've seen, it seems mostly true.Copy !req
29. But that's just what the public knows.Copy !req
30. There's one more phenomenon going on inside.Copy !req
31. I figured it out while observing the ghosts.Copy !req
32. Though they're all looking for the exit,
they all disappear before passing through it.Copy !req
33. The location they disappear in is likely the location
where they lost consciousness.Copy !req
34. And after they disappear, their location seems to reset.Copy !req
35. Reset?Copy !req
36. Uh-huh. I'm guessing the victims
were all abused in different rooms.Copy !req
37. But their terror and desperation
to escape have all merged together,Copy !req
38. creating a room that doesn't exist
that they now all try to escape.Copy !req
39. That's the phenomenon
the public doesn't know about: the "secret room."Copy !req
40. Normally, there's no way to get in there.Copy !req
41. And that's where I hid our Graduate.Copy !req
42. Huh?Copy !req
43. Wh-why there?Copy !req
44. Wait, you said "normally," right?Copy !req
45. Uh-huh. I figured out how to get in
by observing the ghosts.Copy !req
46. The wandering ghosts are all trying to escape that room.Copy !req
47. They follow a path through certain room numbers.Copy !req
48. By reversing the order they travel,
we get a route that leads us straight to the secret room.Copy !req
49. The Graduate's hidden in the bathroom
of that secret room,Copy !req
50. but I ran into an issue when I went to get her last time.Copy !req
51. I got to the secret room,
but every time I went through the door...Copy !req
52. I ended up back at the entrance to the hotel.
I couldn't get to her at all.Copy !req
53. What?Copy !req
54. The courtesan Graduate has manipulated the roomCopy !req
55. to only admit those she "fancies,"
turning it into her private pleasure district.Copy !req
56. And she really, really doesn't like me.Copy !req
57. But she'll probably invite you right in, Keitaro,
especially 'cause you're a man.Copy !req
58. So I'm gonna need your help.Copy !req
59. Okay.Copy !req
60. I'll send you the instructions for getting
to the secret room. Memorize them good.Copy !req
61. Got it.Copy !req
62. Ignore all other ghosts until you see one with waist-length hair.Copy !req
63. 1. Before it gets to Room 203, change the room number to 413.Copy !req
64. 2. Close the door to Room 304.Copy !req
65. 3. Change the number on Room 413 to 203 and leave the door open.Copy !req
66. As always, you'll need these.Copy !req
67. If things get gnarly, use these to stay safe.Copy !req
68. Wait, is this the Martyr?Copy !req
69. And this is from Castle H...Copy !req
70. Okay, let's go.Copy !req
71. Wait, where'd they go?Copy !req
72. Wh-what the hell?Copy !req
73. Did everything just randomly change on me?Copy !req
74. No, I must've wandered out of my world...
and into the spirit world.Copy !req
75. I gotta get out of here.Copy !req
76. But what do I do? I don't even know how...Copy !req
77. Stop it. Don't give up!Copy !req
78. I have to think!Copy !req
79. Is this a moat?Copy !req
80. turning it into her private pleasure district.Copy !req
81. Right... Back in the Edo period,
the pleasure district was surrounded by a moat.Copy !req
82. Did the Graduate do this, then?Copy !req
83. If she did, then strengthening the seal on her
should put an end to it!Copy !req
84. Keitaro...Copy !req
85. He's gone!Copy !req
86. Is that his voice?Copy !req
87. It sounds like him.Copy !req
88. Eiko, can you see him on the GPS?Copy !req
89. I'll check!Copy !req
90. Found him!Copy !req
91. He's right at the entrance!Copy !req
92. Considering he disappeared,Copy !req
93. Keitaro must be in the same coordinates,
but in the spirit world.Copy !req
94. A ghost...Copy !req
95. Yayoi-chan, Kei-kun's on the move!Copy !req
96. Let's follow him and find the secret room.Copy !req
97. Okay.Copy !req
98. 1. Before it gets to Room 203,Copy !req
99. 1. Before it gets to Room 203,Copy !req
100. change the room number to 413 and open the door.Copy !req
101. change the room number to 413 and open the door.Copy !req
102. Change the number, open the door...Copy !req
103. I followed her directions.Copy !req
104. Maybe it's because I'm in the spirit world...Copy !req
105. but I can see them now.Copy !req
106. Now, her path should change...Copy !req
107. Wh-what are those things?Copy !req
108. I don't sense anything from them,
but I can tell they're bad news just from looking at them!Copy !req
109. No, hold on. They've got to be part of what
leads us to the secret room.Copy !req
110. I have to run ahead of her and follow the next steps.Copy !req
111. 2. Close the door to Room 304.Copy !req
112. 2. Close the door to Room 304.Copy !req
113. Close the door to room 304...Copy !req
114. HOT!Copy !req
115. It's coming this way.Copy !req
116. But it's not coming after me.Copy !req
117. Remember, you're leading it somewhere!Copy !req
118. 3. Change the number on Room 413 to 203Copy !req
119. 3. Change the number on Room 413Copy !req
120. to 203 and leave the door open.Copy !req
121. and leave the door open.Copy !req
122. I've gotta go after her.Copy !req
123. It's so hard to breathe. The air feels so heavy.Copy !req
124. That must be the secret room.Copy !req
125. I made it!Copy !req
126. Wh-what the...? What's happening?Copy !req
127. I'm saved.Copy !req
128. I'm seeing myself.Copy !req
129. Wait, was I...Copy !req
130. switched with her?Copy !req
131. I'm back!Copy !req
132. Wait!Copy !req
133. Switch with me...Copy !req
134. Someone's in there.Copy !req
135. Help...Copy !req
136. Eiko!Copy !req
137. Kei-kun?Copy !req
138. How did you end up here? Where's Yayoi-chan?Copy !req
139. I don't know, she only took me...Copy !req
140. I knew you'd come save me.Copy !req
141. Thank you. I'm so happy you came.Copy !req
142. When we get home, I'll give you a nice, big reward.Copy !req
143. So could you hurry up and get these ropes off me?Copy !req
144. What did she just say?Copy !req
145. Is she...Copy !req
146. really Eiko?Copy !req
147. She's not Eiko!Copy !req
148. C'mon, hurry.Copy !req
149. She's the Graduate!Copy !req
150. And she's trying to get me to release her!Copy !req
151. No.Copy !req
152. Aww, why not, Kei-kun?Copy !req
153. Because you're a bad actress!Copy !req
154. I'm gonna squeeze your balls till they explode,
you little bitch.Copy !req
155. Leave this room and you'll never go back.Copy !req
156. I'll burn it all down and trap you here forever.Copy !req
157. You'll be stuck here with me till the end of time.Copy !req
158. But you don't want that. You wanna get outta here.Copy !req
159. Want me to help?Copy !req
160. Then get this pesky rope off me, now!Copy !req
161. Y'know, I like men who finish the job quick.Copy !req
162. If things get gnarly, use these to stay safe.Copy !req
163. Ow!Copy !req
164. Aww, honey, you're no fun.Copy !req
165. Boys who don't listen get punished 'round here.Copy !req
166. You'll be like this soon, too!Copy !req
167. Wh-what's happening to me?Copy !req
168. It's already started. Won't be long now.Copy !req
169. I'm gonna be like that?Copy !req
170. Want it to go away?Copy !req
171. Want to do something
before this room goes up in flames?Copy !req
172. Then c'mon...Copy !req
173. If you don't hurry up, we'll both be goners.Copy !req
174. The spirit stopped here.Copy !req
175. I hear Keitaro.Copy !req
176. Kei-kun is in there.Copy !req
177. C'mon, hurry.Copy !req
178. O-okay!Copy !req
179. There's a good boy.Copy !req
180. You should've just done this from the beginning.Copy !req
181. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, ASSHOLE?Copy !req
182. Her hand stopped me!Copy !req
183. If I strengthen her seal,
everything that's her doing will disappear!Copy !req
184. Just a little more!Copy !req
185. Switch with me!Copy !req
186. Please, not now!Copy !req
187. Please, not now!Copy !req
188. Just in case.Copy !req
189. It's gone!Copy !req
190. It's gone!Copy !req
191. That was Kei-kun.Copy !req
192. Kei-kun? Is this you?Copy !req
193. Please, Kei-kun, don't do this.Copy !req
194. We could do something so much more fun.Copy !req
195. Please?Copy !req
196. DON'T INSULT EIKO LIKE THIS!Copy !req
197. SHE'S NOT A SLUT LIKE YOU!Copy !req
198. A slut? A slut?Copy !req
199. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU'RE INSULTING?Copy !req
200. Kei-kun!Copy !req
201. Kei-kun!
Keitaro!Copy !req
202. Eiko? Yayoi-chan?Copy !req
203. I'm back!Copy !req
204. A-are you okay? You're hurt!Copy !req
205. I'm fine. It's not as bad as it looks.Copy !req
206. You've got her.Copy !req
207. You did a great job, all by yourself, too.Copy !req
208. I had some help in the end.Copy !req
209. Things weren't looking good for me,Copy !req
210. but Eiko's helping hand literally saved me.Copy !req
211. I-I had no idea what I was doing.Copy !req
212. The curse must've connected us or something.Copy !req
213. I'm just glad you're okay.Copy !req
214. Eiko... Thanks. I owe you.Copy !req
215. Sure.Copy !req
216. Okay, we've got Keitaro back and the doll we came for.Copy !req
217. Let's head out.Copy !req
218. Roger that!Copy !req
219. I learned in history class that courtesansCopy !req
220. were pretty talented women.Copy !req
221. I'm sure you were one of them, too.Copy !req
222. But my girlfriend's pretty damn incredible.Copy !req
223. With that out of the way,Copy !req
224. let's get to business.Copy !req
225. I forgot.Copy !req
226. All that work,Copy !req
227. but it wasn't even the main thing we were after...Copy !req
228. We're headed off to an S-Rank haunt,Copy !req
229. the Old I Watergate.Copy !req
230. Let's ghoooo...Copy !req
231. ooost!Copy !req
232. Wait a sec!Copy !req
233. We're not waiting!Copy !req
234. Nope!Copy !req
235. Oh, come on!Copy !req
236. Is it okay to leave the rest of the hotel's ghosts there?Copy !req
237. They seemed like they wanted to get out of there,Copy !req
238. and they attacked me,
so they could go after someone else...Copy !req
239. It's totally okay.Copy !req
240. They only attacked us 'cause we messed with them.Copy !req
241. A while back, when I first found the secret room,Copy !req
242. I also found some ghosts
that harbored particularly strong grudges.Copy !req
243. They were torturing the gang members
who had killed them... and locking them in a closet.Copy !req
244. One they're all dead, the ghosts should pass on.Copy !req
245. I'm fine with that. It's what they deserve.Copy !req
246. But you said they attacked you. What'd they do to you?Copy !req
247. Well, it's gonna sound crazy,
but one of them tried to switch places with me.Copy !req
248. Switch places with you?Copy !req
249. Yeah, like, literally.Copy !req
250. The second it touched me, the spirit was in my body,
and I'd turned into the spirit.Copy !req
251. But when I knocked its hand away,
I went back to normal.Copy !req
252. Keitaro, do you remember what day it was we met?Copy !req
253. Huh? April 1st, why?Copy !req
254. That's right. And that means you're you and not a ghost.Copy !req
255. Wha-?Copy !req
256. Oh, God. The spirit could've been
in control of him this whole time.Copy !req
257. Uh-huh. That's why I had to check
if our memories matched up.Copy !req
258. And if we'd switched, I would've been dead.Copy !req
259. Now that I'm thinking it over,
that whole situation was really messed up...Copy !req
260. That spirit would be pretending to be me,
acting as if nothing was wrong...Copy !req
261. That reminds me of a similar story I read online.Copy !req
262. A man and his son were spending the night in their car
after it broke down on a mountain road.Copy !req
263. The father was keeping watch on his son while he slept,
and was just about to pass out,Copy !req
264. when he spotted something coming towards them.Copy !req
265. He was too shocked to react or even scream.Copy !req
266. The white creature did nothing to them,
just went past the car...Copy !req
267. But just when the man thought they were safe...Copy !req
268. He looked over at his son.Copy !req
269. "Get the hell away from my son!"Copy !req
270. The moment he yelled out...Copy !req
271. "I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! I'm in!"Copy !req
272. He rushed down the mountain
to bring his son to a temple,Copy !req
273. but the priest said if 49 days passed
and nothing changed,Copy !req
274. he would be stuck like that forever.Copy !req
275. I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! I'm in!Copy !req
276. It kind of reminds me
of how you describe getting "switched."Copy !req
277. I remember Keitaro's grandma
saying something similar about her dolls, too.Copy !req
278. Must be something that can happen, then.Copy !req
279. Now that we know about it, though,
we can prepare to counter it.Copy !req
280. Uh-huh.Copy !req
281. Spirits and humans, switching... That means evil spirits
could walk amongst us, pretending to be human.Copy !req
282. So... how would you tell the difference?Copy !req
283. Strangers search for a stolen relic,
unbeknownst to Yayoi and the team.Copy !req
284. Both head to the Old I Watergate
to fulfill their own purposes.Copy !req
285. Waiting for them there is a forlorn boy,
casting a shadow in the twilight.Copy !req
