You don't have to tell me
From the first moment we met
Glistening with sweat... baby face
You can't suppress that pounding heart
So you hide behind false pride
Breaking the speed limit... DRIVING
You can't even bring yourself to hold my hand
But you act tough and say "Follow me!"
Always in over your head... that's why I love you!
You're still so bland
The way you kiss is also bland
(Floating)
Why don't you take off those worn trousers
And just take the plunge?
Even so, you're still so bland
So this must be true love!
Wake up and see!
Just for you, I'll show you a hot un... deux... trois!
Gently...
Hard day's night game
I'm going to melt...
Episode Three School Goddess
Where are you going?
To school.
The place where you go to learn?
That's right. I go almost every day except the weekend.
Please don't follow me.
Tsk!
What was that for? Tsk!
What was that for?
I'm bored!
Why don't you watch TV or something?
See you later!
In this age, children only need to concern themselves with studying.
What an ideal country this has become...
Tsugumi!
Oh, Jin. Good morning.
Hey.
So how's Nagi? Is she all right?
I guess so.
Where is she now, at home? What's she going to do about school?
We'll figure it out when I get in touch with my dad.
Hey. Thanks for the food!
I'll return the containers at school.
Oh, right.
What did you think?
What did you like best?
I enjoyed everything, but in particular...
The vegetable stir-fry was really good!
I see...
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
That color's no good.
You've completely disrupted the harmony.
You've lost all sense of direction.
Who knows what you're trying to express here?
You haven't done enough sketching yet,
so it's too soon for you to try painting with eccentric colors.
This is why I said that oil painting is still beyond you.
Mikuriya, you're in over your head.
Look at all this paint you're wasting!
Great globs all over your palette!
I know!
I know that I'm a lousy artist!
I just...
We know.
You want to emulate that one over there, right, Mikuriya?
He's finished painting!
The art club rookie, Daitetsu, has finished his oil painting!
How amazing. He can paint armed only with a painting knife.
That's so cool!
Just as you'd expect from a strapping young man, his style is daring, too!
And yet there's also an innate, calculated beauty!
Those pink highlights really set it off!
Being able to handle pink shows that you have a good eye.
Jin...
How's the sculpture coming?
I'm sorry! I had it more or less finished,
but I dropped it by mistake, and the whole thing broke!
And you went to the trouble of bringing me the wood...
I see.
Take this... You can borrow it.
Monthly KITTY, Spring Edition Special Report: Paw Pad Love
They're just so cute.
Just remembering what they look like makes me...
Jeez! Keep it down!
Keep the racket to a minimum when people are working!
Look what you made me do... This line's off, thanks to you!
Well, well, Akiba! You're here?
I've been here the whole time.
You were so quiet, we didn't notice you.
So? How's your manga coming along?
Don't change the subject!
I guess it's starting to come together.
As always, it's so well-drawn.
Thank you.
Which magazine are you going to submit it to this time?
The Monthly Déja Vu.
Oh, right, the one that has all those
vaguely familiar-looking manga submissions in it.
But it's impossible to tell what's going on in this manga.
It's just not clear what their motivation for battle is.
And the worldview is so obviously influenced by other manga...
There's just no originality to it!
Who are you people, manga school examiners?!
So how come you joined the art club, Akiba?
Why not join the manga club if you want to draw manga?
Manga club?
How dare you...
lump me with those losers!
Going on and on about anime wherever they go,
not giving a damn about their clothes!
Not to mention our school's manga club
may as well be dead in the water, if you look at the doujinshi!
Okay, in other words, you have no interest in anime and all that.
Especially the obvious ones, like Lolikko Cutie...
No, being of the magical girl genre, that particular title
must be distinguished from other anime.
Especially the episode produced by the Yashima-Hashida team,
which was of movie-caliber quality, and geared towards adults.
The DVD sales for that volume alone are healthy,
and it was even praised in Delusion Notes...
Sorry.
What do you think, Shino?
I think it's fine.
The art club has seen its male membership go down,
but we had a good crop of freshmen this year, wouldn't you say?
The towering artist...
Too-Pure-Pure Boy...
The excessively self-conscious Akiba (Akihabara)-type...
I'd say they balance each other out beautifully, wouldn't you?
If this were an RPG,
that's the party we'd send out for a boss fight.
Which one is your type, Takako?
Let's see... It's hard to give up any of them...
But if I had to pick...
Too-Pure-Pure Boy!
Both of you are amazing.
I can't even get any of my own work done.
You're working hard too, Jin.
I... I joined the art club because I admired you.
I may not be any good right now, but...
Someday, I'll surpass you! You'll see!
That's it! That's exactly it!
Just look at that friendship and rivalry!
Too-Pure-Pure Boy!
Takako, your nose is bleeding.
All right. Time for a boss fight?
Yes. After all, they say that youths need ordeals to go through.
Clean up the storehouse?
Yes. There's an old building that used to be a clubhouse,
on the southwest side of campus.
The basement is the art club's storehouse.
It's been abandoned for years,
but I wanted to have it cleaned during my tenure.
Luckily, this year we're blessed with male members.
The old clubhouse building... You don't mean that place, do you?
Oh, no! You mean you already know about it?
Know about what?
This!
Not me! No way!
You don't like ghosts, Mikuriya?
No, it's the other way around. He's really good at sensing them.
I can't stand them!
Just because I see them doesn't mean I can do anything about them.
We're always going to shrines and stuff on graduation trips...
It's no fun for me! No fun at all!
His ghost stories are amazing!
Seriously.
Who knew we had one of those in our club?
About that, Jin... There's something I've been wanting to ask you.
What happens when a spirit finds a screen door?
Screen door?
Can they slip right through?
Whoa...
How lovely!
This is the first time I've seen it up close.
I don't usually come this way.
Um, I'm not going to walk looking straight ahead.
Somebody please guide me!
But why do I have to come too?
Come on, let's go inside.
We're just checking it out today.
We need to see what's inside first,
so we'll know how much more manpower we're going to need.
Sorry... I'm really sorry... I'm really sorry for being born. So we'll know how much more manpower we're going to need.
Sorry... I'm really sorry... I'm really sorry for being born.
Jin... It's hard to walk like this.
You're not scared at all, are you, Akiba?
Well, I'm the type who doesn't believe in spirits and stuff.
It's definitely got the right feel to it!
Just a single naked light bulb...
Okay. Let's clear a path so it'll be easy to move stuff out...
Daitetsu, your back is so huge...
What do you think you're doing here?
Look at it! It's nothing but a musty old storehouse.
The stories about the ghosts are just rumors.
Are we okay?
There's even storage under the floor.
It looks like it'll take more time than we thought.
Hey, guys...
I recently heard about this from Senpai...
It seems the story about the incident here is true.
No, really!
There was a student who fell off a ladder and died...
There was a sharp pole right under him.
He was impaled on it,
but apparently he was still conscious for a while.
He cried out for help, but no one came.
He lay in a pool of blood...
Eventually, he succumbed to blood loss.
But the student never realized that he'd died,
and to this day, you can hear his cries...
Huh! That's bull! There's no ladder here anywhere!
I know. Wasn't it in there?
Noooooo!
It's under the floor!
Daitetsu, get out of the way! It's under the floor!
Out! Get out! Daitetsu, get out of the way! It's under the floor!
Out! Get out! Daitetsu, get out of the way!
Out! Get out! Ah! He fainted standing up!
Well? Did you clear it out?
I told you! I'm telling you the truth!
We really heard it, we swear!
What a useless bunch. Then make sure you find the cause!
Are you a fiend?!
Next, this shop's specialty... Crab ice!
Can you believe it? Only fifty for sale each day,
and they're sold out in a flash!
Was that an impurity?
Should I tell Nagi?
What should I do?
Because if I tell her...
Then I'm coming with you! To school!
There's no question that's what would happen!
What's the matter, Jin?
You seem down.
Whoa!
What is it?
Nothing.
Something bothering you?
No! It's nothing!
I just have a problem that has nothing to do with you at all.
Really now?
And then I tried it again, but it smelled horrible.
The impurity... And then I tried it again, but it smelled horrible.
The impurity...
Maybe I should grab it with my hands, and bring it home.
Put it in a bottle or something... nah, won't work.
Anyway, it's not as if I know for sure that it's because of the impurity.
Mikuriya! Anyway, it's not as if I know for sure that it's because of the impurity.
Mikuriya!
What the...
Sorry, man! What the...
Sorry, man!
I let my emotions take over, and my fist slipped.
What the hell's the matter with you, man?
Not enough to have your hot childhood friend after you?
Huh?
I've just seen the light, man...
If this world were a manga, you'd be the hero.
Can I carry your bag for you?
No, that's all right.
That's the courtyard, over there.
And the field's over here!
What a lively place this is!
Wow! She's a stunner!
Such a tiny head, and long legs!
Her hair's so silky!
I don't remember seeing such a gorgeous girl here before.
She must be a transfer, don't you think?
Halfway through the school year?
Jin!
He dodged it!
He dodged her embrace! He dodged it!
He dodged her embrace!
Isn't he the guy Nagi was looking for?
How could you, Jin?
But why?
Don't "but why" me! And drop that character, it's creepy! But why?
Don't "but why" me! And drop that character, it's creepy!
Did he say creepy?
I don't believe this guy.
He's got two "aho" (idiot) hairs, so that makes him a moron.
Or as they say in English, "Aho-aho-man."
Maybe he's a homo.
Uh, excuse me, but she's a relative of mine.
And she's not really the way she seems to all of you!
Sorry, people, I'm really sorry!
What do you think you're doing, Nagi?
What did you mean by "creepy"? Tell me!
What are you doing here anyway?
Why am I here?
Who are you to talk?
You weren't upfront with me, you know!
How did you...
What? You mean it's true?
You mean that was a bluff?
I heard about it from Tsugumi.
There was some commotion about a ghost?
And that got me thinking... could it be...
You!
You saw an impurity, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Just as I thought. My eyes were not wrong.
True, I can sense an impurity.
It must be easy for them to appear in populated areas like this.
There you are!
Tsugumi!
Nagi, didn't I tell you not to wander around on your own?
I'm sorry. But it's all so new and exciting for me.
If they find out you're an outsider, there'll be trouble.
And you stand out enough as it is, Nagi. So, please...
Hey...
Don't tell me... Was it you who brought her here, Tsugumi?
Well, when I was on my way home...
There Nagi was, hanging onto the school gate.
Nagi tells me that she always had tutors,
so she's never been to school.
If I went to school in a uniform, no one would notice me, right?
That's what she said, so I brought her home with me,
and loaned her a uniform.
That's a pretty bold move.
But I didn't know you had a spare uniform.
This is a private school, so the uniforms are expensive.
Oh... Yes...
We girls are very particular about our attire!
I can't tell him...
That I bought another one because
I gained so much weight over spring break...
No way can I tell him that!
And to top it off, that size fits Nagi perfectly!
I just can't say it!
So there you have it.
Tsugumi is a very kind and generous person.
You and I have become great friends.
Right, Tsugumi?
Yes... Yes, we have. We're good friends now.
I think I had the wrong idea about you.
You're a lot friendlier than I thought, Nagi.
I wouldn't call her friendly.
She's just selfish.
Hey, Mikuriya!
Are you guys done talking?
I mean, is it okay for us to join the discussion?
So anyway... This girl. Who is she?
Well, you see, she's actually my half-sister.
And she's run away from home to stay with us...
Hey, Nagi?
I have a question, if you don't mind.
Yes?
You and Jin are brother and sister.
But you've never met each other until now, right?
So I mean... Since you're both old enough to date...
To be living under the same roof...
What do you think, Nagi?
Pow!
Hey! What do you think you're...
I just thought you looked so cute...
To me, Jin is just a child.
We just live together, nothing more.
He's my family.
And so, you have nothing at all to worry about, Tsugumi.
Hey, that's not what I meant...
There's no way that Jin and I could ever be in a relationship.
You are very important to him, after all.
Not to mention...
I'm in love with someone else.
Who knew that something like that was going on...
But hey, you'll be fine, Mikuriya.
This is a fairly common situation in manga, you know.
Is this a manga?
That's the building, right?
Yeah.
But Nagi, you're not a student here. And besides, you're a girl!
You shouldn't have to go to a haunted building, of all places.
The thing is, I adore the paranormal!
A fetish?
And I'm well-versed in the skill of exorcism.
I knew it! People get twisted in repressive environments!
It's all right, Mikuriya.
There's a precedent for well-bred girls addicted to the paranormal.
Like in gal games.
Is this a gal game?! Like in gal games.
Is this a gal game?!
I see...
So she brought Oonusa along in that bag, huh?
Hey, hold on! You took that from my closet without telling me!
Excuse me? You mean this bag?
Didn't I tell you not to go into my closet?
Why not?
Well... It doesn't really matter if you do, but... Why not?
Well... It doesn't really matter if you do, but...
I mean... If it doesn't bother you, then it's okay... Yeah...
No, it didn't bother me.
It did make me think, "So he likes big breasts!", but...
So you did take a good look, didn't you?
Don't say that! Tsugumi's right there!
But it's perfectly healthy for a normal gentleman to...
That's what I've heard, so you shouldn't let it bother you.
Never mind!
Now then!
Let's charge in, okay?
Come on! Let's go!
Jin, what's that?
Sorry, I don't know how to explain it myself.
That stick...
It's from a series that was canceled in planning,
and the toy company that sponsored it just went ahead and released it!
I hear anime freaks are buying them up at high prices on the Internet!
What's wrong, Akiba? Your eyes changed color. I hear anime freaks are buying them up at high prices on the Internet!
Hey!
The air in here is indeed stagnant.
If an impurity exists here, then...
Nagi?
If there's a ghost here,
it must be down there.
Now then, let's open it up!
Hey, let's not touch it! Actually, let's get out of here!
There's a curse! It's not good for the spirits!
Actually...
I've been on the verge of cracking for a while now!
Daitetsu is so terrified that he's using his might on Jin!
Be quiet! Stop that commotion!
You're all human, aren't you? You're living beings!
You have a future!
If you're considered the best of this world,
how can you possibly lose to those who are only bound to their past?
Her way of talking...
Oh, she's transformed into the other one.
The living are more powerful than the dead!
Remember that!
No way! What is that? Why?
It won't open! It's locked!
It's coming. Looks like I provoked it well.
It's angry!
Can't breathe! It's angry!
Can't breathe!
No... I think what it wants is to be saved.
Poor thing... You were all alone for so long.
In such a dark place, writhing in pain and fear...
To think that no one ever found you...
You cannot open this door.
Because it's locked by the unsolved mystery of your death,
you died unable to open it.
So allow me to shatter that mystery.
Oh, my. How dreadful!
This door sticks like you wouldn't believe!
It's dangerous!
We must have the school janitor fix it.
Who on earth is this old geezer?
Geezer? How rude!
Huh? Who is he?
A homeless guy?
You fell for it!
It just doesn't feel like we have new students
until we do something like this!
You know, like they do in the sports clubs.
Baptism, is what they call it.
Let me introduce him. This is the art club's advisor,
Mr. Dokusasori.
He's been using the basement as his studio.
You people never get tired of this, year after year!
Oh well, I always have fun, so it's all good!
You should've seen how terrified you were!
Perhaps we should've brought along a video camera!
I don't believe this!
By the way, who is this gorgeous girl?
Where's the impurity?
The insect?
Insect? There are a lot of them in here...
Great big ones!
Oh! A giant spider!
There's another one here.
Nagi?!
Nagi! Where are you going?
It can't be true!
It can't be true, it can't be true!
I know... I know I sensed the impurity!
I've never been wrong about...
A chapel?
Oh, this is a mission school.
I didn't notice it before.
Goal!
If there had been a time limit, you would have failed.
You were searching in all the wrong places, you know!
But you're...
To think that you can't even perform your cleaning duties
without a toy like that!
Your divine powers are dwindling, aren't they?
Why?! What are you doing here?!
It's been a long time...
Big sister!
Gods of heaven, gods of earth
O myriads of gods
Listen to the sacred words:
All the sins of the world are no more.
Scatter away the mists of the high mountains,
And the mists of the low mountains
Listen to the sacred words:
All the sins of the world are no more.
Keep your heart true and honest
And you shall never stray from your path
O my beloved, beloved children
Such sound and healthy lives
Let us vow together
Find rest in the sacred grove,
Find peace.
In the sacred grove where time is endless.
