1. Koichi...Copy !req
2. Over here, Koichi.Copy !req
3. K-Kishibe Rohan!Copy !req
4. Hey, hey. No need to act so defensively.Copy !req
5. I've no intention of harming you.Copy !req
6. Besides, after reading your memories with
Heaven's Door, I've come to admire your character.Copy !req
7. I feel as though we're inextricably connected.Copy !req
8. Wouldn't you agree?Copy !req
9. Anyway, there's something I meant to ask you.Copy !req
10. I lived here from the time I was an infant
until I turned four years old.Copy !req
11. I'm searching for the house I used to live in
for the sake of nostalgia.Copy !req
12. A good comics artist must be
attuned with their childhood memories.Copy !req
13. However, seeing as these memories are from
when I was only three or four, they're hazy at best.Copy !req
14. Which is why I need your input on this town map.Copy !req
15. It's quite bizarre.Copy !req
16. Look here.Copy !req
17. Arisugawa Soba Shop, Kisara Drugstore...Copy !req
18. and the Owson convenience store
all line up side-by-side from the right.Copy !req
19. Huh?Copy !req
20. Now look at the actual shops.Copy !req
21. From the right, there's Arisugawa Soba Shop...Copy !req
22. Kisara Drugstore...Copy !req
23. and then...Copy !req
24. then Owson on the left.Copy !req
25. Huh?Copy !req
26. There's no road between
the drugstore and Owson on the map...Copy !req
27. That's pretty careless of them!Copy !req
28. Koichi, will you accompany me for a bit?Copy !req
29. I would be grateful if you could show me around town.Copy !req
30. Huh? Well, I, uh...Copy !req
31. You would refuse such a
courteous request from Kishibe Rohan?Copy !req
32. Typical.Copy !req
33. I suppose asking you to walk a measly
ten meters with me is also too much.Copy !req
34. You're so selfish... Jeez...Copy !req
35. I'm only walking with you for five minutes, Sir!Copy !req
36. Just five minutes!Copy !req
37. Bizarre, isn't it?Copy !req
38. This road isn't even on the 1:3000 scale map of Morioh created by the National Map Company.Copy !req
39. Really? I heard they'll give you a bookstore coupon if you find any errors with their maps!Copy !req
40. I swear, this map is aggravating.Copy !req
41. Look here, Koichi.Copy !req
42. These houses labeled Yonemori,
Honma, and Onodera are missing, as well.Copy !req
43. This map is riddled with errors.Copy !req
44. Two or three bookstore coupons
aren't nearly enough for finding all of this.Copy !req
45. Mr. Rohan...Copy !req
46. this house looks like it was abandoned.Copy !req
47. This place is so weird...Copy !req
48. I don't think there's anyone living in any of these houses.Copy !req
49. Even the electricity to the vending machine has been cut off.Copy !req
50. Huh?Copy !req
51. That mailbox...Copy !req
52. This is the same place we turned at earlier!Copy !req
53. How weird...Copy !req
54. How did we end up back where we started?Copy !req
55. We turned right, left, then right again, so how...?Copy !req
56. I can't say for certain,
but we may be under attack by a Stand!Copy !req
57. Huh? A Stand?Copy !req
58. Koichi, will you please have your Echoes fly as high as it can?Copy !req
59. That's right!Copy !req
60. I can find a way out if I look from above!Copy !req
61. Echoes Act 1!Copy !req
62. What's the matter?Copy !req
63. Th-There's something there!Copy !req
64. I felt something up in the sky!Copy !req
65. I don't see anything up there!Copy !req
66. I'm sure I felt something!Copy !req
67. Are the two of you lost?Copy !req
68. Would you like some help?Copy !req
69. A girl!Copy !req
70. That girl must be a Stand user!Copy !req
71. Heaven's Door!Copy !req
72. One must strike quickly...Copy !req
73. to swiftly achieve victory!Copy !req
74. We're safe now.Copy !req
75. I've prevented her from harming us.Copy !req
76. Amazing!Copy !req
77. I-It looked like a drawing leaped out of you just now!Copy !req
78. I suppose I've grown a bit recently.Copy !req
79. Though my power likely still won't work on
pathetic people like Josuke who dislike my comics.Copy !req
80. She and I are on the same wavelength.Copy !req
81. She isn't a Stand user! She's just a normal girl.Copy !req
82. Huh? Sh-She's not an enemy?Copy !req
83. Indeed. Nothing stays hidden from my Heaven's Door.Copy !req
84. Her name is Sugimoto Reimi. Age sixteen.Copy !req
85. Her address is 3-12 Kotodai, Morioh.Copy !req
86. It's close by.Copy !req
87. She doesn't have a boyfriend.
Her measurements are 82-57-84 centimeters.Copy !req
88. She has a mole on the side of her left nipple.Copy !req
89. She had her first period at the age of eleven.Copy !req
90. Her first kiss involved a boy forcing his tongue into her mouth!Copy !req
91. That's more than enough, Kishibe Rohan!Copy !req
92. You already said she isn't a Stand user,
so quit reading everything about her or I'll make you!Copy !req
93. Fine, fine...Copy !req
94. No need to get riled up.Copy !req
95. "I will forget the events that just transpired." There.Copy !req
96. Would you like some help?Copy !req
97. People get lost around here all the time. The alleyways seem to blend together.Copy !req
98. We'll be fine on our own if you can just tell us the way.Copy !req
99. No, no, no, you'll never find the way out if I try to explain it.Copy !req
100. Follow me and I'll help you leave.Copy !req
101. Want one?Copy !req
102. No takers?Copy !req
103. Then will you at least grab the other end?Copy !req
104. Aww, you're going to get dumped!Copy !req
105. What is wrong with this girl?Copy !req
106. It's Pocky fortune-telling!
The way it breaks determines your fortune.Copy !req
107. You're pretty selfish, huh?Copy !req
108. You also have a habit of messing with people.Copy !req
109. That's why you're getting dumped.Copy !req
110. You hear that, Koichi?
How woefully misinformed she is!Copy !req
111. She thinks I'm selfish!Copy !req
112. If this is how we're doing things,
then I have some words for you, as well.Copy !req
113. Having manicured pink fingernails
means you're afraid of falling in love.Copy !req
114. You let your true love slip away at a crucial moment.Copy !req
115. Huh?Copy !req
116. No way...Copy !req
117. That was a psychological test, not fortune-telling.Copy !req
118. Besides love, there's something else
frightening you at the moment, isn't there?Copy !req
119. Supposedly...Copy !req
120. a murder took place at this house around fifteen years ago.Copy !req
121. A murder?Copy !req
122. Murder?Copy !req
123. No one lives here anymore.Copy !req
124. Would you like me to tell you about it?Copy !req
125. The old lady next door told me this story.Copy !req
126. The night of the murder...Copy !req
127. while the girl who lived here was asleep in her bedroom...Copy !req
128. she awoke to a "drip, drip" noise
coming from her parents' room.Copy !req
129. "What was that noise? Papa! Mama!" she cried out.Copy !req
130. But there was no reply.Copy !req
131. The girl wasn't scared though, because...Copy !req
132. her beloved dog was by her side.Copy !req
133. Beloved dog?Copy !req
134. Yes. He was a big guard dog.Copy !req
135. Even in the dark, if she put her hand underneath the bed,
she would hear a familiar "Whimper, whimper," as he licked her hand.Copy !req
136. She knew she was safe with Arnold by her side.Copy !req
137. But that noise, the "drip, drip,"
continued for more than ten minutes...Copy !req
138. Finally, the girl decided to figure out
where it was coming from.Copy !req
139. Then what?Copy !req
140. She found her beloved dog, Arnold,
hanging dead from a coat hanger!Copy !req
141. The "drip, drip" noise was the sound of his splattering blood!Copy !req
142. Then all of a sudden, a voice spoke to her from under the bed!Copy !req
143. "Your hand is so soft and cute, young lady.Copy !req
144. Whimper, whimper...Copy !req
145. I've already killed your parents!" Then...Copy !req
146. he killed the girl, too!Copy !req
147. I-I-Is that a true story?Copy !req
148. Did I really sound that convincing?
I just wanted to scare you for making fun of my manicure!Copy !req
149. Whew...Copy !req
150. Th-Those kind of stories are bad for my heart! Jeez...Copy !req
151. Wha-Copy !req
152. That's...Copy !req
153. Yes... The girl from the story was me!Copy !req
154. Both Arnold and I are ghosts.Copy !req
155. G-Ghosts?Copy !req
156. The memories I read using my Stand, Heaven's Door, were from when she was alive, so I had no idea!Copy !req
157. The two of you stumbled across
the place where I died fifteen years ago.Copy !req
158. We must be on the same wavelength.Copy !req
159. This place is the border between
the world of the living and the dead.Copy !req
160. We have to get out of here, Koichi!Copy !req
161. I-It's no use!Copy !req
162. Use Echoes, Koichi!Copy !req
163. Have it fly into the air and find the way out!Copy !req
164. She must have been what it touched in the sky earlier!Copy !req
165. Hurry and send it up there, Koichi!Copy !req
166. Wha-Copy !req
167. What's happening?
There's a wall blocking the sky!Copy !req
168. K-Koichi! Your Echoes is touching the ground!Copy !req
169. Y-You were the one who went flying into the air!Copy !req
170. I hate to break it to you,
but there's only one way out of this place.Copy !req
171. And only I know it.Copy !req
172. H-How are we supposed to fight a ghost?Copy !req
173. Please don't possess us!Copy !req
174. Don't say things like that! I'm not a vengeful spirit!Copy !req
175. What have I ever done to you?Copy !req
176. I'm not to blame for making you feel scared!Copy !req
177. I wasn't the one who trapped you here.Copy !req
178. This place acts as a border between
this world and the next.Copy !req
179. You two have strange powers...Copy !req
180. They're called Stands?Copy !req
181. I wonder if that's how you ended up here.Copy !req
182. You aren't our enemy?Copy !req
183. You're not very trusting, are you?Copy !req
184. I think I'm considered a "bound spirit".Copy !req
185. I became bound to this place as a ghost.Copy !req
186. For the last fifteen years, I've tried speaking to
everyone who ends up here to tell them my story.Copy !req
187. But until you two showed up,
I hadn't succeeded in getting through to anyone.Copy !req
188. I said I would lead you out of this place,
and I promise you I still will.Copy !req
189. But not until I've finished my story.Copy !req
190. Story?Copy !req
191. The rest of my story from earlier.Copy !req
192. Before I could turn around to see his face,
the murderer stabbed me in the back with a knife.Copy !req
193. It was late at night, and my only thought was to run away.Copy !req
194. My killer still hasn't been caught.Copy !req
195. He lives here in Morioh.Copy !req
196. I needed someone to know this.Copy !req
197. He blends in with the rest of the town.Copy !req
198. Wait a minute! Are you telling us this because...?Copy !req
199. I'm not asking you to catch him.Copy !req
200. But I want you to tell someone.Copy !req
201. Tell the police, or anyone willing to catch him...Copy !req
202. Whoa, whoa. What makes you think we have to listen to you?Copy !req
203. Mr. Rohan!Copy !req
204. Calm down! I'm trying to be rational here.Copy !req
205. It's unfortunate you were killed in such a way...Copy !req
206. but why should we be held responsible for
finding this murderer to ease your pain and suffering?Copy !req
207. Since you're just a ghost, you'd find more relief
if you simply passed on from this world.Copy !req
208. Do you have any idea how many
boys and girls have disappeared from this town?Copy !req
209. Huh? No.Copy !req
210. Eight times more than Japan's national average.Copy !req
211. Though not always the case,
many of them have been killed in secret...Copy !req
212. by him.Copy !req
213. W-Wait a second!Copy !req
214. Are you saying these murders are still happening?Copy !req
215. Hey! You can't make unfounded assertions like that!Copy !req
216. You told us you never saw the murderer's face!
So how could you know that?Copy !req
217. I constantly see the souls of his victims fly above me!Copy !req
218. They all have wounds just like mine!Copy !req
219. H-How horrible... It's so long and deep...Copy !req
220. I can't speak to the souls passing on to the next world,
but I've seen them countless times.Copy !req
221. I know how twisted he truly is! I just know it!Copy !req
222. These murders have been going on for fifteen years
here in Morioh, the town where I was born and raised!Copy !req
223. It's frightening, and hurts my pride in this town.Copy !req
224. Once they finally catch him, my beloved Morioh
will be known as a town which harbored a serial killer!Copy !req
225. Regardless, we must stop his killing spree as soon as possible!Copy !req
226. He's pursuing someone at this very moment,
and there isn't a thing I can do about it!Copy !req
227. Which innocent person will he kill next?Copy !req
228. If you, the living, won't restore this town's peace and pride...Copy !req
229. then who else will?Copy !req
230. I'm not sure if you fully understand
where I'm coming from, but...Copy !req
231. that's all I have to say.Copy !req
232. I-I understand. It's just a bit shocking.Copy !req
233. Still, we have to do something!Copy !req
234. Hmph. Don't be such a do-gooder, Koichi.Copy !req
235. It will be nothing but trouble.Copy !req
236. However, it may be worthwhile
for the chance to interview a real serial killer.Copy !req
237. I may be able to create a gripping comic from the experience.Copy !req
238. Is the exit this way?Copy !req
239. If this makes you think he's really a good person deep down, I have bad news for you...Copy !req
240. He isn't what I would call trustworthy...Copy !req
241. Hey, did you hear me?Copy !req
242. Okay. I'll lead you to the exit.Copy !req
243. Huh? The exit? Where? Where is it?Copy !req
244. It's to the left just past the mailbox.Copy !req
245. Hooray!Copy !req
246. Don't rush!Copy !req
247. There's a rule you must follow to make it through.Copy !req
248. A rule?Copy !req
249. Once you pass the mailbox and turn left,
you'll see the exit just twenty meters away.Copy !req
250. No matter what you hear or see,
you must promise me you won't turn around.Copy !req
251. Why? Is something there?Copy !req
252. It's a requirement to pass between worlds.Copy !req
253. Even Arnold knows that.Copy !req
254. Well, I guess I can make that promise
if even a dog can do it...Copy !req
255. What will happen if we turn around?Copy !req
256. Your souls will be dragged off to the next world.Copy !req
257. In effect, you'll die.Copy !req
258. But don't be afraid!Copy !req
259. Just keep looking forward. Easy, right?Copy !req
260. J-Just as we passed the mailbox...Copy !req
261. something shot between our legs and went behind us!Copy !req
262. Don't turn around!Copy !req
263. Keep walking slowly and deliberately.Copy !req
264. M-Mr. Rohan, something is following right behind us!Copy !req
265. I know!Copy !req
266. Something's there...Copy !req
267. There's something right at the back of my head!Copy !req
268. Ignore it!Copy !req
269. Something will always try to make you turn around.Copy !req
270. As long as you don't turn around to look at it,
it can't touch you, so stay calm.Copy !req
271. N-Now I feel a warm liquid dripping down my neck...Copy !req
272. We're almost there! That light marks the exit!Copy !req
273. What?Copy !req
274. Th-The exit...Copy !req
275. But... I can't take it anymore!Copy !req
276. Mr. Rohan, let's run for it!Copy !req
277. S-Stay calm!Copy !req
278. It will try to trip you up!Copy !req
279. You're safe now.Copy !req
280. You made it through.Copy !req
281. It's safe to turn around now.Copy !req
282. That was so scary! I'm so relieved!Copy !req
283. It's a trap, Koichi!Copy !req
284. That wasn't my voice just now!Copy !req
285. Huh?Copy !req
286. Impossible...Copy !req
287. Not yet! You can't look back!Copy !req
288. This didn't happen when I was by myself!Copy !req
289. They couldn't trick me like this!Copy !req
290. Koichi!Copy !req
291. Hmph. I don't quite get it,
but we're just not allowed to look back, correct?Copy !req
292. How fortunate that you have me here, Koichi!Copy !req
293. Heaven's Door!Copy !req
294. I'll make you unable to see and go flying backwards!Copy !req
295. Calm down, Koichi.Copy !req
296. Let me write that you can see again.Copy !req
297. The road between the convenience store
and drugstore vanished...Copy !req
298. W-We made it back!Copy !req
299. The two of us will remain here...Copy !req
300. At least, until the murderer is caught.Copy !req
301. The day Arnold and I turn around to rejoin Papa and Mama
will be when peace and pride have been restored to this town.Copy !req
302. I refuse to leave until then.Copy !req
303. If you ever have any questions for me...Copy !req
304. come by any time.Copy !req
305. We'll always be happy to see you.Copy !req
306. Rohan darling and Koichi...Copy !req
307. You have my sincere gratitude for listening to my story.Copy !req
308. That girl... She has some nerve, calling me Rohan darling.Copy !req
309. She was far too friendly.Copy !req
310. But... Sugimoto Reimi, huh?Copy !req
311. I admire her outlook on life, despite being a ghost.Copy !req
312. She's been fighting alone for fifteen years,
all for the sake of others.Copy !req
313. I found it! Sugimoto Reimi, age sixteen.Copy !req
314. Not that I doubted her, but at least now I'm certain.Copy !req
315. Oh! Could you be...Copy !req
316. that little boy who grew up to become
a comics artist, Kishibe Rohan?Copy !req
317. We've met?Copy !req
318. Rohan, you were only four,
so it's no surprise that you wouldn't remember the incident.Copy !req
319. Your house at the time was very near to theirs.Copy !req
320. The night of the incident, your parents had
urgent business to attend to and were forced to leave...Copy !req
321. They left you overnight at the Sugimoto household since you felt very close to them.Copy !req
322. That night, Rohan, you were staying overnight at the Sugimoto household.Copy !req
323. You were the only one to survive.Copy !req
324. Did you... just say... I was there?Copy !req
325. When the police found you,
you kept crying and repeating the same thing over and over.Copy !req
326. "Reimi snuck me out the window."Copy !req
327. Reimi saved you before you could be found by the murderer.Copy !req
328. That girl... No wonder she acted so friendly toward me.Copy !req
329. My Stand, Heaven's Door, is incapable of allowing me
to ascertain my fate or read my memories.Copy !req
330. If you ever happen to wander down this alleyway...Copy !req
331. do not turn around, no matter what.Copy !req
332. I really did meet a ghost today!Copy !req
333. Her name is Reimi and that's a picture of her!Copy !req
334. I did some research, and it turns out she was a student at Budogaoka high school like us!Copy !req
335. Okay, I get it!
I said I believed you, didn't I?Copy !req
336. Right, Okuyasu?Copy !req
337. What a cutie... Just my type...Copy !req
338. Wish I was born fifteen years sooner...Copy !req
339. We should go meet this ghost girl sometime, too.Copy !req
340. Koichi, the thing is, Mr. Jotaro and Joseph
are gonna want to know one simple fact if we tell them this.Copy !req
341. Is the serial killer a Stand user?Copy !req
342. W-Well... I don't know...Copy !req
343. Well, then we'll just have to let
the police and justice system sort it out.Copy !req
344. B-But there's a serial killer running loose in Morioh!Copy !req
345. I know that!Copy !req
346. I'm just telling you that Mr. Jotaro and the Speedwagon Foundation
aren't gonna waste time going after some normal serial killer.Copy !req
347. You gotta relax.Copy !req
348. This guy has been avoiding the police for the last fifteen years.Copy !req
349. We can't just hail the serial killer over to us
like he's some kind of taxi cab driver.Copy !req
350. We gotta stay calm and look into it carefully.Copy !req
351. So, what did that jerk Rohan have to say about it?Copy !req
352. Pretty much what you just said, Josuke...Copy !req
353. Hey, be careful, Koichi!Copy !req
354. Don't cross the road if you aren't paying attention!Copy !req
355. I-I'm sorry, sir...Copy !req
356. Morioh was originally a resort
filled with villas belonging to the samurai.Copy !req
357. My ancestors were among them.Copy !req
358. Unfortunately, we came on hard times
during my grandfather's life.Copy !req
359. The house I live in is all that remains of our heritage.Copy !req
360. I'm stuck working a boring office job to support myself.Copy !req
361. Wait, what happened to
the imported wristwatch I gave to you?Copy !req
362. Ah, you left it in your bag. That's right.Copy !req
363. Shame it wasn't the right size.Copy !req
364. We'll have it adjusted tomorrow.Copy !req
365. What's the matter? No need to act so shy.Copy !req
366. Here, let me give you a hand.Copy !req
367. This weekend, we deserve to fully enjoy ourselves.Copy !req
368. Just the two of us.Copy !req
369. You dripped on my seat...Copy !req
370. That's very irresponsible of you.Copy !req
371. You should have cleaned up after yourself.Copy !req
372. I can't seem to remember your name right now, but that's fine.Copy !req
373. You've done well. It's all clean now.Copy !req
374. With that taken care of...Copy !req
375. let's go make dinner.Copy !req
376. Is there any dish you make best?Copy !req
377. OnoderaCopy !req
378. Morioh Landmark #6:Copy !req
379. Ghost Girl's AlleywayCopy !req
