Eisho 5 (AD 1508)
Say it! Where did you hide the treasure?
It's the object that will resurrect our family,
there's no way I'm telling you.
Do it!
Don't! Stop it!
Don't!
From now on you will be cursed!
"Overcome," what does it mean?
You!
To overcome... or to overpower...
Exactly.
For this, remember "oobakamon!" [big stupid thing]
"Oobakamon!" As to overcome the opponent, or overcoming him.
Okay, everyone.
overcome
oobakamon
Once more!
overcome
oobakamon
Why are you doing mathematics during the English lesson!?
I'm sorry... I didn't finish my homework...
You guys too!
We've been busy during the weekend...
Oobakamon!!
Did they do something? Sensei...
No...
Sensei!
You know...to tell you the truth...
Those students did mathematics' homework during my class...
They did what?
I'm inexcusable!
Who did that?
I'm gonna knock them down.
Ah..it hurts...
Why do you have this wound?
That's somewhat...
So, you have something delicious to talk about?
This time, it will be absolutely okay.
Did you hear about the Gokumon Shrine of Fujimi village?
Gokumon Shrine...?
They say there seems to be a curse every 100 years.
To protect themselves from the curse, they have to sacrifice 3 people and if they don't,
the god will willfully select 3 villagers who will then receive a punishment.
That's stupid...
Isn't it?
But you know, the priest of that shrine became really bothered...
and he said that if somebody can solve the puzzle behind the curse,
he would give them 1 million yen and a cow as the prize.
1 million yen!?
..and a cow!
Hey, why can't we go this weekend and solve this puzzle together?
"Going to Japan's shrines and temples"
Gokumon Shrine...it's extremely deep in the mountains, isn't it?
1 million yen... "plus a cow"
It's the same even with it, huh?
But we can't have another negligence.
Even if it's not us, there would be many other people coming for the prize.
There is nobody in this world with brains as good as ours.
That's right.
Right?
Hey!
You, what are you doing?
What's with that face you guys?
Oomichi did this to us for doing mathematics in your class.
You are all truants. This weekend you'll assemble in class for special training.
We'll talk.
Err...sensei!
What?
This weekend we somehow can't come even though we'd like to, or perhaps I should say...
Because of our "sense of duty..."
Yeah.. that's right.
What's that?
Hmm...
In other words, if you don't go and explain the origin of that curse,
there will be a panic within this village.
Yes...
You quit it already!
How many months left do you think the exams are!?
And...
That prize is certainly 1 million yen plus a cow?
Yes...
Alright! This Saturday in front of the train station at 7am!
Don't dare to be late!
Okay?
Say..
Hey!
What?
Why are you going together with us?
Although you think we are useless...
Because as a teacher it's my duty to protect you guys.
Here...
(Evil spirit go away!)
Imamura-kun!
Why is that woman with you again?
Well, it's somewhat...
Everyone, for gathering here today,
despite being busy,
(left) Tsuchida Shougorou (Real estate company president) Ozawa Takehiko (Physicist) (right)
really...
(left) Tsuchida Shougorou (Real estate company president) Ozawa Takehiko (Physicist) (right)
thank you very much.
(left) Amano Hoshiko (Psychic) Tamada Kazuji (College Student) (right)
You will right away...
(left) Ishihara Keisuke (Reporter) Shimizu Eiko (Reporter) (right)
get introduced into...
this Shrine's legend.
The origin of this matter...
Miyabe Tamiko (Shrine Maiden)
goes back into the time of 500 years ago.
Defeated in the war and barely escaping alive, 3 soldiers fled from the enemy.
They were able to escape until this village.
Then in this village, a rumor about those defeated soldiers
having hidden a treasure for their rebirth, boiled up.
Treasure..?
The people of the village found the defeated soldiers who hid in the forest.
They forced the soldiers to tell them where the treasure is hidden.
They tortured them with an unbelievable cruelty.
Say...
Tortured.. how?
This is explained in a picture scroll that remained from the anciently shrine.
1 person got crushed beneath a rock
1 person got hung-up upside down
1 person got scorched in fire
Well then everyone...
Everyone as for what I am going to say,
please repeat it along in a chorus.
If as you, the defeated soldiers say...
and this curse really exists,
but there are no villagers,
then please take us as substitutes...
What?
Say it in a chorus!
If there are no villagers,
then please take us as substitutes...
Thank you very much.
If the legend is true, then from tonight until tomorrow..
3 people among you are going to die.
In the same way as in this picture...
Well then everyone...
Tonight I have to go to a training of the National Priest Association.
That's why I am leaving now....
Eh..!? Hey!
He's running away himself!?
Then now I'll show you the actual place where the curse originaly occured before.
Excuse me, do you have a second?
Yes?
You are a school teacher, right?
Yes.
We are here to cover this event for a "daily newspaper."
Is it okay if we have an interview afterwards?
For a student to have such a beautiful teacher to teach you...
That's definitely a blessing!
Don't you agree?
Well~ If you say so...
Say, you guys are from Kinben Senior High School, right?
You must be intelligent...
Well, I guess...
What do you do, Ozawa-san?
Me?
I am teaching physics at a university in Tokyo.
A university in Tokyo...?
Yes... Tokyo University.
Wait a second please.
This is the rock used in the torture 500 years ago.
100 years ago, it somehow moved from this place...
and killed a villager by crushing on top of him.
How could such a rock have moved?
The villager passed by for some reason and then it dropped from there, don't you think?
Ah.. I see.
I don't think that's right.
If it really fell down from there,
it would have been broken and deformed some more.
Here is the place of the 2nd curse.
And based on the record...
I heard that, although he took the key inside with him,
the villager was found hanging upside down in here.
Murder behind closed doors...
Well, you can now begin solving either one you like.
Please do whatever you can to find the solution for this riddle.
Well...
One question...
Has the mentioned treasure, the defeated soldiers hid already been found?
The villager who found the treasure...
is said to have somehow included the place of the hideout in this map.
Those are not the typical symbols, right?
Since this has been made 500 years ago, I don't think they are.
Say.. this.. could we please borrow it?
Money! A cow! And a treasure!
I'll get them all!
Sensei...
Do you really think there is a treasure?
Of course!
There should be a hint somewhere in this map.
It wouldn't be in such a thing.
This Ozawa is a teacher at Todai... It will be tough.
He's a real competition.
Certainly.. He's great.
This man, Tamada, is a student in his 9th year of university.
He's been all along dependant on his parents, but they at last disinherited him.
And then that man, Tsuchida. He's very typical for a man, started a company and went bankrupt.
Even if it's like that, we can't go home yet.
I've brought them.
How can there be no water supply...
Really troublesome...
I mean, where the hell are they!?
Wah... got surprised...
I shouldn't play around.
Where did they go!?
Huh? Where's Ayukawa?
Imamura-kun!
How is it? Can you solve the puzzle?
Yeah.. just a matter of time...
If that's the case, then why don't we think about it together?
Yeah, if we discuss about it while watching the night sky,
I think a lot of good ideas will come to each other's mind.
You could say that, right?
Well then, at 12 tonight, we'll wait at the bottom of the shrine's plaza.
You guys!
Where have you been!? Come and help me draw the water!
Yes!
Well then...
Will they be okay?
Isn't it great that we will get everything?
The money and a cow...
Alright.. Let's go.
You guys!
This cow.. delicious, isn't it?
She's talking in sleep.
Imamura-kun! We are here.
Did we keep you waiting?
Take a seat.
It's a little cold, isn't it?
Ah..yes
Huh?
What's that?
Is there somebody over there?
That's the soul of the defeated soldier.
It's coming here.
Don't say such a strange thing!
Very soon, somebody is going to die.
I don't say it's bad.
You had better return home early.
Miss Ayukawa! Miss Ayukawa!
Yes...
What do you want?
The rock... It disappeared.
Didn't I say it?
Hey! That!
How.. did the rock get here?
Huh? Look!
Isn't that blood?
It's hopeless, it's not moving an inch.
Hey, move away.
The principle of leverage, as expected from a Todai!
Alright! - Hey, that's...
Eh?
Move! I'll do it.
Police.. The police someone!
"Never call the police!"
That's what the priest ordered.
You.. is your mind clear!?
A person got killed!
If that thing becomes public now,
then there will be an uproar in the village.
Everyone would probably come...
and set this shrine on fire.

If I don't find that treasure quickly, I'll run away...
Sensei!
Are you okay?
They are the defeated soldiers!
Attack them!
Show some fighting spirit you guys!
I retained myself!
Because I tentatively retained myself!
But if we catch them, 1 million yen and a cow!
Alright! Let's go!
Well done you guys.
Who are you really?
I'm sincerely sorry.
But we, by no means killed Tamada-san.
Then.. why did you pretend to be the defeated soldiers?
I thought it would lower the competition, if everyone is frightened.
Liar!
And you...?
I...
..got threatened by Amano-san..
"You have an evil spirit of your ancestor haunting you."
"If you don't listen to what I say, misfortune will befall someone around you," she said.
I didn't want to...
What do you think?
Are they telling the truth?
I...
I don't think they would be able to go as far as murder...
Hey! What kind of naive speaking is that?
I'll lock you in here for a while.
Keep an eye on them with this!
Why...?
Err... I haven't seen Ozawa-san for a while.
Now that you mention it... Really, huh!?
Don't say, he too...
The 2nd curse...
It was about hanging upside down in the shrine, right?
Alright.. nothing.
We should lock it just to be sure.
This.. close it.
With this, the defeated soldiers also won't be able to do anything.
What a relief.
Imamura-kun
Miyabe-san?
So.. what do you want to talk about?
For sticking up for us back then, thank you very much.
However, there's something else...
I see.. She meant this.
What are you doing?
What's that?
We've heard from Miyabe-san,
that in the olden days, they used this to lift up heavy things from the bottom of the mountain.
Don't you think that we can also lift the rock up with this?
How can you do such a thing?
The principle of pulley.
To lift something up, you have to wreath the rope around this small wheel and then...
you only have to turn this big wheel.
[F=f*(r/R)] The necessary force (F) equals the diameter of the small wheel (r) divided by the diameter of the big wheel (R), then everything is multiplied with the weight of the object (F).
In this case... about a fourth.
Alright, let's try it!
Okay.. with this we solved the puzzle.
1 million yen and a cow!
Sensei, this has nothing to do with it...
Besides, there is one question...
How was this transported to the rock in the first place?
A curse every 100 years...?
And yesterday, a lot stayed at the shrine with the purpose of getting the prize.
How can they...
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune and even getting money out of it...
Such people, if they really encounter a curse, they'd have to be prepared to die.
Village headman... Have you seen this person?
This person certainly headed for the shrine yesterday...
What's wrong?
Didn't you hear something?
I've borrowed the key from Miyabe-san.
You are late!
So!
Haven't we told you that we aren't the criminals?
How rude of you to say that!
Okay everyone...
The first time we looked into the shrine, there was nothing.
However, the next time we looked, Ozawa-san was hung in there upside down.
Let us say what everyone did during that interval!
We've been watching Miyabe-san here the whole time.
We've been together with our teacher.
First, I went to get water from the water well.
Afterwards I've been in the room with Ishihara-san the whole time.
So Tsuchida-san, where have you been?
I went to see the other side of the forest!
Then.. you don't have an alibi!
Both of you could also be accomplices, couldn't you!?
Isn't it useless to check such a thing!?
The shrine had been locked up.
It can't be opened without one.
And Miyabe-san who has the only key, had been locked up here the whole time.
So.. it has to be the curse?
Then another one..
..will die scorched in fire.
The rope Ozawa-san's dead body was bound to...
had been attended to those two pulleys and attached to this box with a knot.
That's...
..the treasure of the defeated soldiers!?
That's only junk.
Anyway.. why was the rope tied to something like this?
I think there are a lot more solid things around...
Hey you...
What would happen if the weight of Ozawa-san's dead body and the box are the same?
That... would make it stop at the best position.
Hey.. has that been here since yesterday?
What's wrong?
Look.. there's a crack in here.
Something scrubbed there.
Yesterday there wasn't...
There should be a hint somewhere in this map.
You, come!
- Yes.
Look. Yesterday that wasn't there, right?
Here too...
A crack as well...
There's no doubt.
The criminal is...
You guys...
Miss Ayukawa... moreover everyone...
Is something wrong?
What are you doing here?
The criminal really used this to lift up the rock and I've been wondering about...
How did he do it, Imamura-san? - It's possible that...
Don't get tricked!
The criminals are you.
Sensei, what are you talking about?
That's an interesting story.
At the time Ozawa-san got killed,
..those female high-school students watched us the whole time.
You're still saying that we really did it?
That.. was exactly your intention.
First you pathetically acted as the defeated soldiers and attacked us...
Got caught on purpose...
And then getting locked up in the shed...
I'll lock you in here for a while.
As a matter of fact, Ozawa had already been killed by you before you were caught.
You hung the Ozawa's dead body with the rope...
To get the same weight as Ozawa's, you had to do adjustments to where he had been tied on.
Once the box had the same weight as the dead body and stopped at a good position...
You then took him down in his current state and hid him under a woven mat.
So that when we first looked into the shrine,
we were under the impression that nothing was there.
But how could we have lifted the dead body up?
Since we were in the shed and had no chance to leave.
You...
..made use of these idiots.
You called these guys to come to the shed,
told them about the pulley...
and since these guys are fools,
they thought that it would be the answer to the puzzle of the moved rock.
They turned it...
But you turned it...
Be quiet!
There probably was a thin wire wreathed around the pulley...
...then going into the a gap of the shrine...
...connected to the pulleys...
...Ozawa's dead body that were attached to and then pulling it up.
And since you've adjusted it to the same weight as Ozawa's,
it kept on maintaining that position.
When we all then looked into the shrine again,
not expecting to see anything, we've discovered Ozawa's dead body.
Right after that, you were released because of your perfect alibi.
And after you averted any suspicions, you were able to collect the wire.
Don't say such a foolish thing.
Do you have any proof?
Let me see what you have inside your clothes!
You probably came here to collect the wire.
Just as you said.
We did everything for a reason.
Right from the beginning it was our intention to kill Tamada-san and Ozawa-san.
Why...?
We...
Because of Tamada and Ozawa, we lost a precious friend.
Hey! Release her!
Sachiko!
Shut up!
You really don't have to shout, we'll return her as soon as we are done with her.
Come!
Sachiko!
Please help us!
Our friend...
Hey!
I'm next when you are done!
Hurry... Please!
I beg you!
You are hindering me!
Sachiko...
We.. definitely won't forgive them.
For you to find your peace, we'll take revenge on them.
There is only one thing I don't understand...
To lift the rock up, you used this?
No.
It's much simpler than that.
That's...
Let me explain it at the actual place of the rock.
Okay, let's go.
Could you please wait under the cliff where the rock is?
We'll immediately join you as soon as we made some preparations.
Ah. Sensei!
Thank you for waiting.
Come on. Explain it.
Before explaining it, could I please do a purification?
Hm?
Oh...
Please.
The secret is inside that enclosure.
What?
Hey! Hurry, explain it!
What's wrong!?
Sensei... don't you smell something?
Since you know our secret, it's impossible for us to let you go.
What...?
Getting scorched by fire was the last, wasn't it?
That! It's kerosene! Kerosene!
I'm sorry.
We can't have no revenge on Tamada's group of friends as well.
Wait! Revenge won't bring happiness for that person!
You idiot! It's not the right situation to say such a thing!
Do something!
Hey, let's go!
You too, hurry!
Sensei!!
Water.. Hurry, some water!
Such.. Where do you think we are?!
You!! Hurry, extinguish the flames!
Ah! Look, there!
There's water coming from the rock...
Is that rock by any chance... only made of papier mache?
What? They only transported the papier mache rock over there and...
then put water in to make it heavy, didn't they?
So, what was here?
Also just some papier mache.
When you set papier mache on fire,
it disappears.
That's what we saw last night!
This means...
You! Don't run away!!
I can't die! I don't want to die!
Sensei! We are going to rescue you now!
Do you want to kill me~!?
Sensei, please cover yourself!
I'm sorry to do it!
Stop it.. Stop it!
YOU FOOLS!
STOP IT!!
I survived...
Sensei! Are you okay?
You... I'm sopping wet!!
I'll subtract everyone's next test!
That's reasonable! Why did you!?
I could have died!
And what if I catch cold!?
Sensei...?
While we came from the village to hunt the criminal in this matter,
we accidentally saw an energetically burning fire.
And then we contacted the local fire brigade...
Huh? Why are you here?
Eh? Ah...
Ah, no... that's not right.
My students, somehow...I've been worried...
Well.. I sincerely have to apologize.
As a matter of fact, recently, the shrine's financial condition has also been severe...
The prize of 1 million yen and also the cow... It was a lie.
What?
Take this as an apology...
A souvenir from my training trip, hot spring manjuu. [steamed yeast bun with filling]
Such...
Are you joking you rascal!?
Priest, you can be relieved.
For this sensei to take an advantage of your anxiety...
...and obtaining money for it. She isn't such a mean person!
Ah.. Thank you very much!
Here take it. Take it!
Thanks to you, we were also able to arrest the murderer.
And then, we also were able to arrest the criminals we've been searching for.
Those two had been running away after embezzling money from a metropolitan bank.
However, I was surprised.
Before, you let those students escape from the fire...
And then, you put it out all by yourself...
When I thought about those children, I strangely didn't feel the hot fire at all.
Sensei...
Err... Detective-san...
That only you ran away...
You should be ashamed!
Don't! - Wah~
It hurts...
After that... we definitely will accomplish our revenge.
Eventually... it has been in vain now again.
How naive you are...
We still don't know the whereabouts of the treasure.
Look at this mark!
It was put on the map with an invisible ink.
It appeared when it got wet from the water.
That's the worst...
Treasure~ Treasure~
Heavy...
Heavy~! Heavy~!
"mekatsuke" ? [pickled rice-bran]
Wow...I've finally found it.
To think that the previous priest ate it all by himself, that pickled rice-bran.
HAAAA!!!!!???
You! Again, I had to hear from Ayukawa-sensei,
that you for whatever reason went to that shrine, giving your teacher a great deal of trouble!
Moreover you got tricked by that criminal woman and almost became her crime accomplice!
It was her who originally said that...!
It's okay Imamura-kun.
You'll never do that to your teacher again, right?
You are still so calm even though they are such terrible guys.
That reminds me...
Yes?
Thank you very much for the pickled vegetables.
That's just a small thing...
She brought them with her!
Huh? You can eat them?
It was very delicious.
He ate it!
You can leave already.
Yes.. Excuse us.
By the way...
Yes?
As an expression of my gratitude...
There happens to be an okonomiyaki shop nearby. [savoury pancake shop]
You can say that it's also delicious.
Well.. I really would like to...
together with you..
Hey!
It's your fault that I wasted my precious days off again!
Wait you rascals! Hey~!
