You're better equipped than I had thought, Okonogi.
Not at all.
You are.
When I take a better look, well...
Your slender body looks so much better, Kanoe-san!
Y-You think so?
Kanoe-san.
Can I touch your legs?
You can touch my boobs in return.
You can have my butt too!
Maybe I should drink milk...
So can I touch your legs?

Mystery 4
Dawn Maiden
The Paranormal Investigations Club will now begin its summer holiday training camp!
Okay!
But Kirie-san...
Why a training camp out of the blue?
W-Well...
A mystery or two are bound to crop up at the school on a summer night.
What sort of Paranormal Investigations Club would we be if we didn't investigate?
But wouldn't we have to sleep here tonight, then?
What?
Are you scared, Niiya?
Nah, I'm fine.
But what about you, Kirie-san?
What do you mean?
You were crying alone the other day.
You're easily scared, aren't you?
I-I already told you I couldn't help it!
I just tripped in the dark and couldn't get up!
I'm looking forward to sleeping over with you, Niiya-san!
But what exactly are we going to train?
Tell me it's looking into mysteries!
Yuuko-san?
So it really is Yuuko-san?
Figures, since she's the most famous subject of ghost stories in the whole school!
Niiya-san!
Y-Yeah, of course.
An excellent choice!
What should we investigate first?
We have plenty of time!
This will be so much fun, Niiya-san!
We'll sleep here tonight, in the old night duty room.
There's a tatami!
I'm amazed they gave you permission for this.
I mean, we're not even an official club.
Easy as pie!
I can get pretty much anything if I ask my grandma.
Your grandma?
I'll make some tea.
Doesn't night duty remind you of bread and tea?
How?
The faucet's leaking blood!
Niiya-san, there's a scary mystery already!
The pipes are just rusty from lack of use.
Just leave it on for a while and the water'll clear up.
Wow, that startled me.
I'm kind of disappointed it wasn't a ghost or anything, though.
I wonder what's with Yuuko-san?
Usually she'd be all...
Teiichi-kun!
...or something.
Night Duty Diary
Oh, I found a night duty diary.
Night Duty Diary
This is so old!
I wonder when it's dated.
It came again tonight.
I can hear someone knocking the door.
Thud, thud. Thud, thud.
Someone is pounding the door.
It came yesterday, and the day before.
Whenever I open the door wondering who it is, an empty hallway stretches out before me.
If I try to ignore it, the pounding on the door grows in volume.
I'm horrified. There must be something otherworldly roaming this school...
The mystery of the night duty room?
I can't wait for nightfall!
A-All right, there'll be a real investigation once night falls!
We're going to turn the building upside-down searching for clues!
Huh?
Yuuko-san?
Wait, why the pool?
We have it all to ourselves, thanks to Kanoe-san!
That wasn't what I was asking...
Let's all enjoy the day since we're free until nightfall.
S-Speaking of which, I got a new swimsuit...
What do you think, Niiya-san?
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Does it look that bad?
Ow! Ouch!
It hurts that much to look?!
Ouch! No, please stop!
Okay, I see! I'll stop!
It's too showy, right?
Okonogi-san, you misunderstood! It looks great on you!
No, your sympathy just makes it worse!
I'm sorry! I'll get changed!
Wait, Okonogi-san!
What now, Yuuko-san?
She totally has the wrong idea now.
Yuuko-san?
Here I go, Niiya!
Whenever you're ready!
Here, Niiya-san!
Take this!
Look out, Niiya-san!
Off we go, Niiya!
Are we really going?
I'll stay behind.
The night duty room ghost might appear, after all.
Besides, the person who's alone experiences paranormal activity first in horror films.
They're also the first to fall victim to it, too.
Fire Hydrant
This really sets the mood.
It's how it should be!
I'm surprised, though.
I didn't think you were the type to like training camps.
I told you, we're looking for ghosts.
But we already have a ghost.
Yuuko-san.
Not Yuuko.
This school might be housing another ghost.
The first time I saw Yuuko, she looked just as she does now.
I didn't think Yuuko was an evil spirit then, either.
But I saw the shadow .
The shadow?
It was in the school building after dark.
The shadow of an evil spirit warped by anger and hate.
When I saw that, I thought Yuuko had shown her true form.
That's when I started seeing Yuuko as something hideous.
But it turns out that was all in my head.
Yuuko may not have been that evil spirit.
Then what was that thing I saw?
I'm sure this school houses an evil spirit.
I want to know the truth as well.
All I used to be able to do was run away, alone.
But now I have a friend.
Please, Niiya.
Lend me your streng—
Niiya?
Niiya?!
Where'd you go, Niiya?!
Yuuko-san?
Teiichi-kun, you jerk.
You left me alone for days!
It was the summer holidays...
And when you finally showed up, all you did was play around with them!
You didn't even say anything about my swimsuit!
You completely ignored me!
Jerk...
Sorry!
You're all I have, Teiichi-kun.
Sorry.
But you also have Kirie-san.
She can see you as well.
I don't like her.
She can see me, but she's not going to touch me.
Yuuko-san...
Hey, Teiichi-kun.
Touch me.
I want to feel you, since it's been so long.
But it's always me who takes the initiative.
Y-Yuuko-san?
Besides, you were the one who touched me the first time.
Really?
Go ahead. Anywhere you want.
Even where you touched me the first time.
Y-Your hand then, I guess.
My hand?
You don't remember, do you?
R-Remember what?
You missed your chance.
What chance?
Well, touch my hand.
Hold my hand, Teiichi-kun.
Teiichi-kun!
Yeah?!
Shall we go now?
She's crying for real.
Um... I'm sorry I took him away like that.
Let's go back together.
I was just a little surprised that he disappeared!
We're going!
K-Kirie-san!
Huh? The door's locked.
Did Okonogi-san fall asleep?
Let's knock the door to wake her up.
Wh-What happened?
Could it be the night duty room ghost?!
What's that?
According to the old diary, something otherworldly comes here at night!
Niiya, go in through the window outside.
Okay!
Okonogi-san!
Niiya-san!
The night duty room ghost just appeared!
It went thud-thud, thud-thud!
I was alone! I'm the first victim!
The night duty room ghost... I see.
Yuuko-san?
Begone, evil spirit!
Let's play some cards, okay?!
I've heard that liveliness keeps ghosts away.
Oh, really?
Fair enough.
Let's play old maid.
Wait, why are you dealing for four?
Because there's four people.
Me, Niiya, Okonogi—
N o o o o o o o
There's more than three of us?!
N o o o o o o o
You aren't going to sleep?
Ghosts don't sleep.
Is that the night duty diary?
I actually used to come here a lot.
You know how it gets pretty cold during winter?
There was a nice stove in here to warm by.
Could someone see you, Yuuko-san?
Nope, I just knocked on the door to have someone open it.
Excuse me!
Then I'd slip in.
I did this again and again, but they eventually stopped opening the door.
When I opened the door, I discovered they had abandoned the room.
Of course they would.
Everyone eventually got scared from my knocking on the door.
So all the things written in here are true.
I'd completely forgotten.
Did my story make you sleepy?
Good night, Teiichi-kun.
Mysteries become dull once they've been solved.
My forgotten memories will be no different once I get them back.
If they're all I get for ruining everything I have right now...
RockofCurses
The Rock of Curses...
RockofCurses
Y-Yuuk—
Quiet.
I thought ghosts don't sleep?
They don't.
They'll lie down beside you, though!
Shall we go outside?
This late at night?
It's surprisingly cold outside at night.
It may be summer, but this school's on a mountaintop.
Sorry I kept you waiting.
What are those two sneaking out for?
What...? That...?
Well, I guess he is a boy and stuff.
What does she have that I don't?
Her boobs?
It's not like thinking will help.
Maybe I'll let my hair grow out.
So, where are we going?
Teiichi-kun, do you know the Rock of Curses?
The Rock of Curses?
If you write the name of the person you hate on it, you can kill them with the curse.
However, if you see your own name written on it, the curse will kill you.
Kanoe Yuuko
There's a rock like that somewhere at this school.
Kanoe Yuuko
Look here.
In the old building courtyard...
Apparently a schoolteacher found it, but he got targeted by the curse.
He quit the school to try and escape the rock's curse.
According to a diary in the storage rooms, anyway.
The mystery of the Rock of Curses.
Shall we investigate it?
Now?
Why not tomor—
No, I want to investigate it now!
Come on, let's go!
This way.
A dead end?
You used to be able to go up, but they blocked it during refurbishing.
You can move to the next building from there.
Isn't it beautiful?
Yeah.
This way!
Yuuko-san, look ahead of you!
Yuuko-san!
Just messing with you!
The roof of the next building?
This way!
Wait, Yuuko-san!
This way next!
How do we get through from here?
It's a dead end.
What?
I just felt like coming here.
We're going through the window again?
You can only get in through the window.
This is the old building courtyard.
This is it?
What a strange place.
It's walled off by hallways.
According to the night duty diary, the Rock of Curses should be here...
Isn't it that rock?!
There's stuff written on it.
Are these all names of people?!
If you write the name of the person you hate on it, you can kill them with the curse.
However, if you see your own name written on it, the curse will kill you.
This is... the Rock of Curses...
What's wrong?
Right here... on the Rock of Curses...
Nii
ya
Tei
ichi
Niiya Teichi
It's my name!
Am I going to be cursed?!
Who did this?
At this rate, I'll be killed by the curse—
Fine
Niiya Teichi
Fine
Niiya Teichi
Fine
Yuuko-san!
You woke me up just for this prank?!
Yup!
So, do you think you're going to die?
How would I know?!
Curses aren't real.
Well, I guess you could call the bad feeling that you get the curse.
Let's swim, Teiichi-kun!
But I don't have my swimsuit...
I'm sure people just presumed that the teacher in the night duty diary got cursed.
Maybe some event made it seem like there was a curse involved.
That's all it took for him to quit school, huh?
People don't realize they aren't able to choose whether or not to believe something.
If they subconsciously believe something, therein lies the potential for a curse.
Sorry.
The Rock of Curses does exist, but it's just an excuse.
Wasn't it wonderful?
Was our little walk at night fun?
I wanted to show you this, Teiichi-kun.
It's the other face of our school.
It feels like you can't tell when the sun will rise again, or if it will at all.
It's a wonderful time of day.
How strange.
I never stopped to think about it.
Night would always go by in an instant.
Yuuko-san...
I'm sure this was also thanks to your noticing my presence.
Thank you, Teiichi-kun.
