Do you know about the Turtle Rock of Asuka?
No, not really.
It faces the South, but...
Should it ever turn to the West, the Nara Basin will be reduced to a sea of mud.
You mean like the Crystal Skulls that are rumored to end this world if they are brought together?
Well, this artifact also has a similar legend.
There is a blue mask that pairs with this one,
and that Minakamiyama will vanish if they ever face each other.
Minakamiyama will...?
Then, could this be Nostradamus' Key?
Originally, there was a single evil god,
but he was split into light and darkness and then sealed away.
In other words, those two objects must never be reunited.
"Clay mask from the Joumon period was excavated."
Is this the blue mask?
It's worth checking out, right?
Wait!
What if they activate when we gather them together?
It's not July 21 yet.
The principal and Abe-sensei went to Nagano?
Excuse me.
Abe-sensei!
Welcome home!
I'm back...
Wait! What are you doing here, Mikaze-san?!
Cooking?
No, not that...
Why in my room?
I came to cook dinner for you.
I asked the landlady, and she let me right in with her spare key!
Dinner is served!
How is it?
It-It's delicious.
It tastes like my mom's.
That's great!
What secret ingredient did you use?
A bit of banana and cola.
Only my mom would add banana and cola!
Why are they so alike?
Um, Abe-sensei...
Are you free tonight?
Are you okay?
I'm sorry for surprising you like that...
I suppose it's unreasonable with such short notice...
You're busy after all.
Kill the witch! Destroy the demon's lair!
Kill the witch! Destroy the demon's lair! Kill the witch!
This is an assembly of the neighborhood sympathizers.
Kill the witch! Destroy the demon's lair! Kill the witch!
Sympathizers...?
Yes. Those who wish to protect this town.
It's really hot in these clothes.
I like it, though.
You don't say?
Some students went missing, you said?
Y-Yeah...
We're all trying to find them together.
What the hell is this?
You already know, right?
The Waldstein Academy you've been observing is the demon's lair.
Destroy the demon's lair!
And the witch who's the center of all this has returned to the demon's lair.
The one always surrounded by mysterious phenomena.
The one involved in the founding of the academy.
You know who I'm talking about, right?
Kill the witch!
You know... who that is.
Kill the witch! Kill the witch! Kill the witch!
Now, please say it.
Say the name of that woman!
Kill the witch! Kill the witch! Kill the witch!
Say it!
Kumashiro...
Maya.
But...
Why?
The tengu, the disappearances, and the blood-sucking monsters...
These were all that woman's doing.
One day, she will open the gate to hell and invite them into this world.
Invite them...?
Do you understand now?
She is the key to everything.
And the gate to hell will open...
on the 21st of July.
Nostradamus' Key.
I have a favor to ask of you.
That woman is protected by something.
It is an amulet of sorts.
As soon as that is gone,
we can do something about her.
But...
Please.
If we don't kill that woman,
then Matsushiro, our beloved town, will definitely be destroyed.
Come on.
So nice.
Let's kill the witch.
Sorry for troubling you with this.
Don't be so depressed just because it wasn't the Key!
We'll definitely find it!
Let's go home.
Over here!
The miso ice cream here is delicious!
Here.
Here!
Here!!
Stay still.
Let's kill the witch.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
The Oyaki here is delicious!
The Juuwari Soba here is delicious!
This stew!
This white peach juice!
That Sakamanjuu!
Two please!
Hey, let's go home.
I'm thirsty, so can we have some tea first?
Tea?
Let's kill the witch.
Let's kill the witch!
Let's kill her together.
Let's kill her together!
Stop it!
Bunmei...
Pull yourself together!
Are you a witch?
Mikaze-san told me that...
you are the center of everything...
that you will eventually open the gate to hell
and bring forth unearthly beings!
What are you talking about?
Like I said, you are a witch and-
Are you stupid?
Why would I be a witch?
Then why did strange things start happening right when you returned to the academy?
Why is a gate to another dimension opening at Waldstein Academy?!
The center of all this?
Are you saying I am Nostradamus' Key?
Aren't you?!
Then what if I am?
Are you going to kill me?
Oh, right.
I've taken a picture of myself with this.
There was just a skull on the screen.
A peaceful future would appear if I were the Key, right?
Did you intend to kill yourself?
I told you that you need to think about destroying your target!
Stop!
Why?
We won't find out unless we try it, right?
Hey! What are you doing?!
Give it back!
Give it back.
Give it back!
Give it back! Give it back! Give it back! Give it back! Give it back!
Give it back!!
You shouldn't go back to Matsushiro.
Mikaze-san is not the only one after you.
You might get killed!
Like hell I will!!
Maya...
What's going on?
There's no feedback from Number Six.
We're running out of time.
Where's the commander?
It seems he went out there.
Again?
Very soon they will reach the dreaded day...
That is, July 21.
Will we...
be able to change this scene?
Are we certain this is the principal?
Maya! Maya!
Maya!
Kozue!
They suddenly announced that school had been canceled.
What happened?
Maya-san... Maya-san...
What is it?
What happened to Maya?
She's been murdered!
Someone... Someone...
killed her!
Is there anything missing from this room?
Well, I have only been here a few times...
Anything is fine.
Just tell us what you know.
The notebook!
She always had a notebook with her!
A notebook?
I just can't believe that Maya is dead.
Maya-san did so much for me... for the sake of my occult obsession.
You've gone to a place where my dowsing rods cannot find you.
Don't say it like that.
You make it sound like she really is dead.
I killed her.
If only I hadn't gotten her involved in the search for Nostradamus' Key.
If only I hadn't told her that she might be Nostradamus' Key.
I was too afraid of the unfolding truth to think about anything else.
If only I held your hand without letting go...
Maya!
When we were children, Maya and I...
We used to do this a lot thinking that we might be able to talk with spirits.
Maya...
Why?
That's it!
What are we?
We are Waldstein Academy-
Occult Academy students!
That's right.
We can do things that ordinary people can't.
Let's find the killer!
A summoning!
A seance too!
A Ouija board is easier!
Anything's fine, let's do it!
I don't care if you call me a loser.
Won't you call me names again?
Won't you scold me again?
Am I not good enough?
Was it you?
Did you kill Maya?
You really are a loser.
Maya...
Why the long face?
I'm still alive.
The corpse yesterday was a fake made using magic.
I've kept it secret until now,
but I am a white mage serving the former principal.
Wh-Why?
In order to deceive the enemy.
The former principal ordered me to protect Maya.
I couldn't reveal my true identity.
I apologize for all that has happened.
It's true.
That's a lie!
She died!
She was cold.
Like I said, that was-
Even the police said so!
Bunmei...
Th-That's right!
You should have the notebook if you're the real Maya!
Miss...
Th-This is...
Thank you so much, Abe-sensei.
For taking away her amulet.
You almost tricked us into thinking you were dead.
We nearly believed it.
You must first deceive your allies if you want to fool your enemies.
My, my.
Do they really think they can get away?
From me, a black mage?
Please wait here, Sensei.
I will slowly kill you once I've dealt with that woman.
Please hurry!
Kumashiro Maya, you are going to die.
For real this time!
Kill the witch!
Miss, this way!
Kumashiro Maya.
The gate to hell will definitely open.
I'll take out anyone who interferes.
Just like your father!
You killed Papa?!
Please stop.
Let go of me!
She is Papa's nemesis!
I'm sorry.
Miss!
Please escape.
I will hold them off here.
You damn white witch!
I can't believe it!
Mikaze-san is an evil witch?
She was trying to open the gate to hell, the dimensional distortion?
It's the final battle at last.
Bunmei, take a photo of her using the cellphone!
But... But...!
We have no time! Hurry up!
Me?!
Next time on Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin...
It's the occult after all, so I can't lose!
