1. May 6th, Midnight
Copy !req
2. We got home earlier than I thought we would!
Copy !req
3. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
4. Recovery efforts continue
Copy !req
5. Recovery efforts continue
after a train derailment in Shiga Prefecture.
Copy !req
6. Recovery efforts continue
Copy !req
7. Recovery efforts continue
Copy !req
8. This footage from immediately after the accident
shows the extent of the derailment,
Copy !req
9. as rescue workers hurry to extract
injured survivors from the train.
Copy !req
10. While little information on the cause...
Copy !req
11. Eiko... I saw Ai, lying there unconscious.
Copy !req
12. What?
Copy !req
13. Sorry to call so late, Keitaro.
Copy !req
14. It's okay. Is what you texted me really true?
Copy !req
15. Yeah. Ai was on the train that derailed in Shiga.
Copy !req
16. The accident was the result of a battle...
between Ai's god and the Spectre of Death.
Copy !req
17. Ai's god protects her, so she should be uninjured,
but there are too many red flags here.
Copy !req
18. So, we need to go check in on Ai.
Copy !req
19. We need to go to Kyoto.
Copy !req
20. Wait, Yayoi-chan, today was
the last day of Golden Week.
Copy !req
21. You've got school, and while Eiko and I
can skip classes, you can't miss days at school.
Copy !req
22. Why should I care about school when my friend's-?
Copy !req
23. Never mind. Keitaro's right.
Copy !req
24. Sorry. Just forget it.
Copy !req
25. Y.. Yayoi-chan...
Copy !req
26. Did she just... Give up on that?
Copy !req
27. I think she feels pressured to stay on top of school,
thinking she owes us for taking her in.
Copy !req
28. She has every right to be worried,
Copy !req
29. especially when Ai-chan's her friend,
and the Spectre's responsible for her parents' deaths...
Copy !req
30. Eiko, can you free up your weekend?
Copy !req
31. Huh?
Copy !req
32. When Ai-chan's parents call the tutoring center,
I'll ask about visiting her.
Copy !req
33. Sounds good!
Copy !req
34. As we quietly prepared for a trip to Kyoto,
our Golden Week of horrors came to an end.
Copy !req
35. Ai's god won the battle, then healed the Spectre.
Copy !req
36. It's much, much stronger than I imagined,
and it's a split spirit, too.
Copy !req
37. And why did the God heal it? Just how powerful is it?
Copy !req
38. What will the Spectre do next?
Copy !req
39. But above all, will Ai be okay?
Copy !req
40. I wonder if there's any way to get school
to stop happening for a while...
Copy !req
41. Good morning, Hozuki-san!
Copy !req
42. Who're you?
Copy !req
43. My, it's been a while since you came to our school!
I thought you would remember me!
Copy !req
44. I'm in the class next to you! My name is Dorothy.
Copy !req
45. Dorothy Flamsteed.
Copy !req
46. I'll come right out with it: you have the sight, don't you?
Copy !req
47. I do, too, you see.
Copy !req
48. So, Hozuki-san...
Copy !req
49. Would you care to learn more
about the places that are haunted here?
Copy !req
50. You mean, at our school?
Copy !req
51. Yes!
Copy !req
52. Someone removed the spirit
from the Old I Watergate and took the arm, too?
Copy !req
53. Yes, a team of three people, and one was
a little girl in grade school, or so I've been told.
Copy !req
54. A little girl? Could she be gifted, too?
Copy !req
55. I might know who she is.
Copy !req
56. This body seems to have known her.
Copy !req
57. She was terrified of her.
Copy !req
58. She always carried an extremely dangerous spirit
with her, like none she'd ever seen.
Copy !req
59. To make things worse,
she was constantly surrounded by evil spirits.
Copy !req
60. I'll get to the bottom of things,
find out if she has the arm, or any powerful abilities.
Copy !req
61. She may be of use to us.
Copy !req
62. You can see something in my doll, right?
Copy !req
63. With so much in common, we're sure to become friends!
Copy !req
64. So, why don't we begin our budding friendship
by exploring these schoolyard haunts?
Copy !req
65. Sure, but none of the ghosts
are school are particularly powerful.
Copy !req
66. Unless you know of one?
Copy !req
67. As a matter of fact, I do!
Copy !req
68. I borrowed this faculty key
and made a copy of it for myself.
Copy !req
69. There's a ghost in the midst of a dramatic transformation.
Shall we go see it together?
Copy !req
70. As long as you don't tell me what to do, then sure.
Copy !req
71. Oh, yay!
Copy !req
72. Then let's reconvene after school!
Copy !req
73. What do you get out of this? Thinking of exorcising it?
Copy !req
74. I should keep an eye on her.
Copy !req
75. Let's see what you're capable of.
Copy !req
76. I looked into the stories about our school,
but they all turned out to be made up.
Copy !req
77. Tell me about the scary stories
Copy !req
78. at Tokikodai Elementary.
Copy !req
79. There you are again, zoning out on your phone all alone!
Copy !req
80. You're gonna end up with no friends, Yayoi-chan!
Copy !req
81. Class Rep:
Copy !req
82. Yoko Nakiri
Copy !req
83. Rep
Copy !req
84. Rep, just leave her alone...
Copy !req
85. Futaba Sasaki
Copy !req
86. Fuu-tan
Copy !req
87. Aki Hocchi
Copy !req
88. Ahocchi
Copy !req
89. Yeah!
Copy !req
90. I'm researching something.
Copy !req
91. You're always researching something!
Copy !req
92. Speaking of, have you guys heard about
the seven ghosts at our school?
Copy !req
93. Reading about scary stories?
Copy !req
94. Wow, Hozuki, you seriously believe in ghosts?
Copy !req
95. Daisuke Gonda
Copy !req
96. Dai-chan
Copy !req
97. What are you, five?
Copy !req
98. What, you wanna go? Let's take this outside.
Copy !req
99. To do what, exactly?
Copy !req
100. Prove who's tougher.
Copy !req
101. You sure you're not friends?
Copy !req
102. Whatever. It's on, Hozuki!
Copy !req
103. This'll be a bloodbath.
Copy !req
104. C'mon, guys!
Copy !req
105. Well, then! Why don't we go and see
if these ghosts really do exist?
Copy !req
106. Wait, you're in the class next door.
Copy !req
107. Dorothy, right?
Copy !req
108. You were arguing about believing in ghosts, yes?
Then let's find out if they do!
Copy !req
109. You wouldn't bow out of a challenge like this, would you?
Copy !req
110. O-of course not!
Copy !req
111. R-really?
Copy !req
112. It's better than them duking it out...
Copy !req
113. And it should be fun. Let's do it.
Copy !req
114. Huh?
Copy !req
115. What's she plotting?
Copy !req
116. You sure this is okay, Yayoi-chan?
Copy !req
117. Don't see why not.
Copy !req
118. Then let's all meet together after school!
Copy !req
119. O-okay.
Copy !req
120. I don't remember her acting like this before.
Copy !req
121. Back in second grade, she was way shyer...
Copy !req
122. I bet there are no ghosts!
Copy !req
123. Then I bet that there are.
Copy !req
124. So what ghosts are haunting our school, anyway?
Copy !req
125. All I've seen are a few wandering ghosts
that are close to disappearing, but...
Copy !req
126. Allow me to tell you about the seven ghosts
haunting Tokikodai Elementary!
Copy !req
127. First, we have Hanako-san in the toilet,
Copy !req
128. then, a Mona Lisa painting with moving eyes;
a thirteeth step that shouldn't be there;
Copy !req
129. an unplugged phone in the gym that still rings;
a pool that pulls you in by your feet;
Copy !req
130. a secret locked room;
and the sobbing ghost of a teacher.
Copy !req
131. Perhaps we could visit them all in order!
Copy !req
132. Or maybe we shouldn't...
Copy !req
133. Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.
Copy !req
134. Yayoi-chan's so cool...
Copy !req
135. Here's the first ghost,
Copy !req
136. who lives in the far left stall
of the girls' bathroom on the third floor.
Copy !req
137. Knock three times and ask...
Copy !req
138. Hanako-san, are you in there?
Copy !req
139. and she might just give you an answer!
Copy !req
140. Well, whaddya know. Nothing happened.
Copy !req
141. Sheesh, this was a huge waste of time!
Copy !req
142. Nothing's here! Right?
Copy !req
143. We haven't seen a single ghost!
Copy !req
144. The only ones left are the secret room
and the crying teacher.
Copy !req
145. Why'd you bring up these seven ghosts in the first place?
Copy !req
146. Worried about your little bet? Then you needn't fret.
Copy !req
147. You must have seen the markings by now.
Copy !req
148. All seven locations are leading spirits
down a particular path.
Copy !req
149. We're bound to see something, I know it!
Copy !req
150. And I know exactly where to go.
Copy !req
151. I asked how she'd keep everyone safe,
but I don't know if she's planning on doing that.
Copy !req
152. The key probably opens up that locked room...
where Dorothy knows something is going to happen.
Copy !req
153. The paths are converging, bringing the spirits together...
Copy !req
154. This the secret locked room?
Copy !req
155. Yes, and this here is the key!
Copy !req
156. Wait, you want me to do it?
Copy !req
157. I was hoping someone courageous could help me...
Copy !req
158. Then, I guess I'll help!
Copy !req
159. Hozuki-san, do you know what "satsugo" means?
Copy !req
160. I don't. What is it?
Copy !req
161. It's from a Chinese novel called
"The Investiture of the Gods."
Copy !req
162. In it, there is an enlightened monk who has renounced
all desires, save for one he cannot conquer:
Copy !req
163. the desire to kill.
Copy !req
164. That "desire to kill" is called "satsugo."
Copy !req
165. These nearly-disappeared ghosts on the path
appear to have no lingering attachments,
Copy !req
166. but they do still have some lingering satsugo.
Copy !req
167. How'd you figure that out?
Copy !req
168. Oh, it was easy!
Copy !req
169. I carved symbols to change the path the spirits took,
Copy !req
170. forcing them to converge at one particular point.
Copy !req
171. Do you know what happened?
Copy !req
172. The wandering ghosts consumed one another!
Copy !req
173. Despite being incredibly weak,
and having no lingering attachments whatsoever!
Copy !req
174. So, I've been putting together
this little experiment for a while.
Copy !req
175. What would happen if the wandering spirits
are sent to a ghost with a vicious grudge?
Copy !req
176. I could create a spirit
with an unslakable thirst for murder!
Copy !req
177. All the paths in the school lead spirits
to the locked room.
Copy !req
178. That's right! All that's left is to open it!
Copy !req
179. Got it unlocked!
Copy !req
180. No, don't!
Copy !req
181. Everyone, run away from that door!
Copy !req
182. Where am I...?
Copy !req
183. Who was it?
Copy !req
184. DIE
Copy !req
185. Who did this?
Copy !req
186. The sobbing ghost of a teacher.
Copy !req
187. These must be...
Copy !req
188. Little brats.
Copy !req
189. the teacher's memories.
Copy !req
190. I'm sure of it.
Copy !req
191. Sakashita-sensei! Taking lewd photos
of a student without her consent?
Copy !req
192. I didn't do that-
Copy !req
193. The pictures were on your phone!
Copy !req
194. I'm appalled! There's no excuse for this!
Fess up immediately!
Copy !req
195. You disgust me.
Copy !req
196. I didn't... do anything.
Copy !req
197. So did he actually take those pedo photos?
Copy !req
198. Of course he didn't. He doesn't lock his phone,
so it was super easy to take some as "evidence."
Copy !req
199. Yikes. Poor guy.
Copy !req
200. His ghost was so close to disappearing
that I left him alone.
Copy !req
201. But...
Copy !req
202. now that his desire to kill has been refueled,
he's gone completely berserk.
Copy !req
203. Thanks to a certain someone.
Copy !req
204. Ready or not, here I come... To kill you.
Copy !req
205. Sensei...
Copy !req
206. Will everyone be able to escape, I wonder?
Copy !req
207. From this nightmarish game of hide and seek.
Copy !req
208. Wh-what the hell? Everyone's gone,
it's dark, and then there was that monster...
Copy !req
209. Why is this happening?
Copy !req
210. He's here!
Copy !req
211. That was so scary!
Copy !req
212. Found you.
Copy !req
213. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
214. Hozuki-san, if you can escape this game,
and do something about this forlorn teacher,
Copy !req
215. I'll call this your win.
Copy !req
216. But will you truly be able to rescue them all?
Copy !req
217. Ready or not, here I come... To kill you.
Copy !req
218. If you want to kill me,
you'd better move quicker and quieter, Sensei.
Copy !req
219. That was way too easy.
Copy !req
220. He must have created this ghostly school.
Copy !req
221. If I take him out, I should be able to get out of it.
Copy !req
222. But nothing's happening.
Copy !req
223. Ready or not, here I come...
Copy !req
224. His wounds are healing,
though I know that part of him was consumed.
Copy !req
225. Are there multiple teachers? No, that's unlikely.
Copy !req
226. Or maybe he'll always regenerate,
as long as he's within this parallel space he created.
Copy !req
227. Ready or not, here I come...
Copy !req
228. And it sounds like he's following the rules
of hide and seek, only cursing me if he finds me.
Copy !req
229. What would happen then?
Copy !req
230. What's going on?
Copy !req
231. I ran out of the school to get away from that creepy thing,
Copy !req
232. but the second I left, I was running back
in through the back entrance!
Copy !req
233. And then...
Copy !req
234. when it blew out the candle...
Copy !req
235. something horrible happened to Gonda!
Copy !req
236. I thought no one was here, but maybe if I leave
and come back in, I'll find someone again!
Copy !req
237. I need to find someone who can help me!
Copy !req
238. Yayoi-chan?
Copy !req
239. And the creepy thing!
Copy !req
240. Wh-what just happened?
I don't know, I don't wanna know!
Copy !req
241. There's no way my phone will work here...
Copy !req
242. I-it's gonna be okay.
Yayoi-chan just took care of him, right?
Copy !req
243. Yayoi-chan!
Copy !req
244. Is that Rep?
Copy !req
245. I'll kill it and be right there!
Copy !req
246. Hello? Yayoi-chan? I-it went through?
Copy !req
247. That you, Rep? Thank God. Let's meet up.
Copy !req
248. Yes, please! Where should we meet up?
Copy !req
249. I'm on the third floor. Can you meet me
at the stairs by the shoe lockers?
Copy !req
250. Y-yeah!
Copy !req
251. Okay, bye.
Copy !req
252. Wait! Don't hang up!
Copy !req
253. I'm really scared. Can you stay on the phone with me?
Copy !req
254. Sure. What should we talk about?
Copy !req
255. I know. What's your favorite flower?
Copy !req
256. Flower?
Copy !req
257. I love dandelions! What about you?
Copy !req
258. I don't really have a favorite, but I hate funeral lilies.
Copy !req
259. O-oh, okay. Wh-what's your next question?
Copy !req
260. What do you use more often, a box cutter, or scissors?
Copy !req
261. Huh? Uh, probably scissors?
Copy !req
262. Are you good at throwing rocks at people?
Copy !req
263. No, of course I'm not good at that!
I've never thrown a rock at anyone!
Copy !req
264. What about scratching cars, or telling lies?
Copy !req
265. Wait, what? Why're you asking me this, Yayoi-chan?
Copy !req
266. One last question.
What's the worst thing you've ever done?
Copy !req
267. I ditched after school tutoring once...
Copy !req
268. You're lying.
Copy !req
269. What? N-no, I'm not...
Copy !req
270. The worst thing you did was faking
nasty pictures and ruining a man's life.
Copy !req
271. Your little antics drove him to kill himself.
Don't you remember?
Copy !req
272. H-hey... Yayoi-chan, I-is that you, or...
Copy !req
273. Found you.
Copy !req
274. NO!
Copy !req
275. Yayoi fights to escape the ghostly school
that's trapped her and her classmates.
Copy !req
276. When she discovers the culprit is a spirit that's replaced
a human soul, she makes plans for her counterattack.
Copy !req
