Why... did it turn out this way?!
I know I said I wanted to do something we'd always remember...
But this is...
This is...
Nice reaction, Inoue-san!
I got some great pics.
If Inoue was able to get through without chickening out,
we should be able to make it even scarier.

Okay, bring that over here.
Careful carrying that. Don't hurt yourself!
Welcome to our ultra-realistic haunted house,
brought to you by Amami-san and her sixth sense!
Haunted House
This will become a culture festival legend!
Just give me normal memories.
Come on, Inoue-san.
We've got a cute mascot. Meow!
W-Well, I guess this is all right...
Or so it looks, until...
Boo!
Yay!
I-Inoue-san...
Amami-san, I'd like your advice about the interior.
Oh, sure!
Um...
Excuse me for a moment.
She seems happy...
Well...
Ready to get back to work?
If we don't finish today, we'll end up spending the night here.
That sounds cool.
With Amami around,
the school at night will give me all kinds of blog material.
Wow, she's finishing stuff left and right.
She really doesn't want to spend the night here.
Hanazuka High School Culture Festival
I'm exhausted...
You worked really hard, Inoue-san!
Huh? What is it, Amami-san?
Really? That's great to know.
Thank you!
Talking to nobody again...
Who're you talking to now?
This kind soul
was telling me about a Japanese sweets shop nearby.
He seems to love sweets.
But...
He has a big hole where his stomach should be,
so even if I leave an offering, he can't eat it...
Was this man the one screaming?
Dad?
Amami's...
...dad?
Yes...
He's got white hair?!
H-He's been through a lot...
What brings you here?
I just finished work, so I came to pick up...
Oh, I should introduce myself.
I'm Amami Asahi.
I'm an archaeology professor at the university.
Hibiki... My daughter tells me you're all good friends to her.
Um, may I ask why you were screaming?
Oh, er...
Sorry, I got a message.
Sweet! A ghost picture I can put on my blog!
Again?
Yeah, see?
The back is as eloquent as the lips?
And she has the same response?
I'm embarrassed to admit it,
but I can't handle that sort of thing...
No way!
Even living with Amami-san?
It's true...
There's something white on your shoulder.
There's a black shadow at your feet!
Of course there is.
I can't believe a jumpy guy like this has a daughter with a sixth sense.
Um, I'm told my mother also had the same ability...
Wait, so you inherited your sixth sense from your mom?
I suppose so.
This "sixth sense" or whatever you call it is ridiculous!
I-Inoue-san?
I-I'm not apologizing!
Huh?
Come to think of it, I first met my wife at this intersection.
A pigeon?
In a place like that...
I'm on my way!
Wait!
The pigeon wants to say something!
Coo-coo-coo-cooo, coo-cooooo!
If you jump into the street now, you'll get hit by a car
The first words she spoke to me were in pigeon.
That's a new one.
Who are you?
This little guy called out to me.
He told me a reckless young man was trying to save his corpse.
Um...
Yes?
I'm...
I'm Amami Asahi!
And, u-um...
Er, well...
You are...?
You can call me Yuuhi.
Yuuhi-san...
But, Asahi-san, you mustn't be so reckless.
If something were to happen to you...
I'm so ashamed.
All the people behind you would be devastated.
Pardon?
And that was where our relationship started.
That's a hell of a way to start a relationship.
A wimp like him married a woman with a sixth sense, huh?
Wait, is that...
It didn't even take a week.
That's what turned his hair white?!
Slasher Murder Site
So what pick-up lines did you use?
Oh, come on...
Well, if you must know...
You don't seem reluctant to share at all.
The sunset is beautiful,
but it's also sad, don't you think?
What?
Because when the sun sets...
It means we must part.
Wow, what a poet!
And then? What did she say?!
This moment when evil spirits run rampant,
as light sinks into the darkness...
This is when my true ability comes to life, as well!
When dusk falls?!
Was your wife's sixth sense even stronger than Amami-san's?
Yes.
Sometimes she even made predictions.
You foul, lecherous cat!
How dare you do that to an innocent girl?!
I wonder what she saw then.
Check out this choice selection of babes!
Let's see those pant—
Huh?!
Caution! Slasher Murder Site
Um, did you just...
No, nothing important.
Anyway, things seem rather lively tonight.
Yes! I'm walking home with my friends and my dad.
Oh, I'm sorry I don't have an offering today.
You're a kid. Don't worry about that.
You only get so much allowance, right?
Yes.
Ah, I get it now.
You know the old saying about how girls
tend to fall for people who resemble their fathers?
Wh-Wh-What're you implying?!
And what does that reaction mean?!
I had a great time this evening.
I haven't spoken with friends of Hibiki's in ages.
Well, then, you're in luck.
Our culture festival is tomorrow.
The classes will be running food stalls.
You should come visit!
That's right, it's tomorrow.
You're sure it's all right if I drop by?
Amami helped out every step of the way,
so I think it's really going to be good.
You did, Hibiki?
Yes.
I see. Then I'll be happy to go.
We'll be waiting!
Yep. Ready to go home, Hibiki?
Yes. See you all tomorrow.
Can we buy Mom some Japanese sweets for an offering on the way?
I found out about a really good place...
Hey, by the way...
Do you think Amami told her dad
that our class is doing a haunted house?

Talk about a fierce pace.
We really are gonna be a culture festival legend.
Right?
No one needs a legend like this.
Yeah, maybe.
Amami only asked the ghosts to help oversee things, but...
I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic that they'd join the cast on the day.
I can't take this! Why do I have to dress up like a ghost too, anyway?
I had you work out here because you're too scared to work inside.
Don't complain.
Here, go hand out all of these flyers.
Oh, fine...
Haunted House Cursed Garden
All of them.
All you people think it's hilarious to see me scared!
It is surprisingly difficult to intentionally scare someone.
Something just ran by under my feet!
That dead old guy smiled at me!
Someone's whispering in my ear!
The others have already taken to this work.
I'm too ashamed to face Amami-dono now...
Our costumes match.
Let's both do our best.
All right...
A warrior ghost!
Roll-call samurai's overdoing it!
Can someone go pick up lunch?
Okay, I'll take care of it.
I'll help you.
Maybe we'll run into my dad on the way.
So he is coming, then?
Yes.
I'll be so happy if I get to show him the project
we all worked so hard on together.
Hey, Amami-san, you did tell him it's a haunted house, right?
Are you trying to kill him?!
A culture festival...
It sure is packed.
Here.
Thank y—
Huh?
What?
That hair, and those clothes...
Is that you, Hibiki?
What?
You're totally different from yesterday!

I finally got them all handed out.
It's been like this all the time lately...
You're Inoue-san, right?
The other kids told me a little about you yesterday.
Huh?
Pardon me.
Hairline Color Check
You're still safe.
From what?
Sorry, I just felt bad that this is all putting so much strain on you.
I-It's no one's fault...
I just hate being made fun of.
I see...
Of course you wouldn't say it in front of her father,
but I know you never place the blame on Hibiki or the ghosts she sees.
You're a nice girl.
What're you smiling about?
Nothing, nothing. Shall we go?
Yes. I finally finished distributing flyers.
Are you gonna be okay at the haunted house, though?
O-O-O-Of course!
Uh... You don't have to force yourself...
It's been so long
since Hibiki's been a part of something at school with friends.
So I want to see it, no matter what.
She tried really hard!
She worked as one with the whole class
and took everything super seriously.
She worked her hardest,
and she was so happy.
So please go see it!
See what we and Amami made together!
I'm sorry, Asahi-san.
What're you apologizing for?
For leaving you behind because of my own selfishness...
I don't care how little time we have.
Just having spent it with you
makes me the happiest man on Earth.
But our baby...
It's okay.
I've seen what will happen.
She'll have to endure some pain and sadness,
but she'll find many kind people who will take her by the hand.
Really?
Yes!
Well, let's head home.
We'll practice making fried eggs tonight.
Just go easy on me.
U-Um...
What is it?
Thank you.
Really, thank you.
Oh, um... uh...
L-Let's just get going.
Oh, I'll take that. You can get the door.
No, I can handle it.
Wh-Why did the door open by itself?
Usually they reserve that service for Amami...
Wait, are they...
mistaking me for her?!
I'm with her actual dad, too. That just makes it more misleading...
N-No, it couldn't...
You've done well.
Lunchtime!
Hey. What's up?
You dropped your box.
No!
Stop!
Yoo-hoo, Amami-chan!
Have you had lunch?
White with pink stripes!
Okonomiyaki
I bought lunch!
Oh, thanks.
I was waiting for this!
These are for all of you.
Yay.
Yippee!
Oh, it's noritama!
Dad, you're here!
Is that... What? Inoue-san?!
What happened to your hair?!
Don't tell me you got so terrified, you...
No, it's...
Okonomiyaki
And that's why.
I see... Thank goodness.
Inoue-san, that's awesome!
What the hell is so funny?!
Uh-oh, run for it!
Yamada!
Stupid Yamada
Another one for the quitter list.
And thus, after leaving us with many memories and traumas,
our haunted house became a culture festival legend.
I am so sick of ghosts!

Yo, Uehara Kana here.
My blog got a ton of hits again today.
I wonder what I should post next...
Whoa, Amami, what is that?!
That is too good!
Looks like these new people are pretty wild!
There's never a dull moment around you guys.
Next time on Re-Kan!: "A Super Awesome Holy Night."
Well, anyway, let me just upload this...
