Go, Ran!
Game, set and match to Yahiro! Two sets to zero!
Wow!
Good work, Ran!
Please use this towel!
Please use mine, too!
Okay, I know...
Everyone form a single line!
We'll go in alphabetical order today.
Okay, everyone line up.

About the training camp
What do you think of this year's first years?
They're nice and energetic.
But please, stop them before they get out of hand, okay?
Each and every time it's...
What's wrong with being the cool upperclassman all the younger ones adore?
You cold-hearted bastard.
Fine, then I'll teach you a good method.
Oh? That sounds good.
Get a boyfriend.
You're such a tease, Nanae.
That's because you're just begging for it.
You really are... a meanie...
Lives alone with her father, huh?
Yahiro Kouji Ran Lives alone with her father, huh?
Isn't having their own house a bit too much space?
Don't pry.
But I want to know!
It's so thick!
I bet you know, Fumika, right?
You know what's written in all that?
You know I'm not allowed to tell you.
You meanie! You're just full of secrets, you know that?
It's a rule made by the Gospel Office. Not my fault.
Then what about that boy from before?
The one with the glasses that you left on the roof.
You knew him back when you were human, right?
What happened, Mikawa?
Why did you shoot your father?
There must have been some reason for it, right?
I looked for you, ever since then!
0913.
But...
0913.
Understood.
Mikawa... Mikawa!
So, who was that boy?
He seemed really serious there...
Don't tell me he's your lover!
I don't know him.
But I followed your orders and everything!
Partners really are about trusting each other, you know.
I'm heading out!
Delivery!
A deliveryman?
Not exactly. This is a Shigofumi.
Shigo?
A letter from the land of the dead.
Therefore, Shigofumi.
The land of the dead?
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry right now. Maybe some other time!
Naoko Tateishi.
That's the name of the one who sent it.
I don't know who that is!
Well, that's to be expected...
Wait, what?! That pisses me off!
Don't expect us to deliver your Shigofumi when you die!
Azusa, here!
Oh, thanks! Have this in return!
Who wants this?
Me! Me! Me!
Why now?
Sheesh...
You looked like you saw a ghost. Did something happen?
Not really.
Oh?
Captain, Ran... Would you join us?
Let's play old-maid!
Keep it down. You'll bother the other passengers.
Oh, why not, Captain?
That's our Ran! You tell her!
But in exchange, the losers get to do 10 court sprints!
Just kidding...
That's just cruel, man...
So, what should we do, Fumika?
She's left Kamome City.
I'll have to request for a business trip.
Yay! We get some time out of our jurisdiction finally!
We can go somewhere else!
Kanaka, do you hate this city?
No, I like it.
But now matter how much you like something, if you eat it every day you'd get tired of it, right?
You can't even eat.
Oh, whatever!
Dear, shouldn't you be in a hurry?
Well, there are detectives in the world that prefer not to rush, you know.
Honestly...
Father.
I met Mikawa, during the incident the other day.
Mikawa... You mean Fumika?
That's right. What's the matter?
Father?
That can't be...

Oh? So you're the captain this year, Nanae?
Yes. Thanks for having me.
Sure, no problem.
I've written the order down here.
Is it okay if I deliver them around 5?
Yes.
Oh this... Let me look in my storehouse. Just a second...
Welcome!
Okay, let's buy lots!
Man, you talk so sexy...
Wait a bit longer, okay?
S-sure.
Do women that go out with men disgust you?
You really hate men, don't you Ran?
I live with my dad.
That doesn't count.
Don't you think this is going a bit far for a prank?
That's because it's not a prank.
It was sent by Naoko Tateishi.
Tateishi?
Weren't you the one who left me?
I don't think I have any reason to accept it.
There is a reason to deliver it.
Because it's your job?
Correct.
Anyway, I won't accept it!
Man, she really hates us now.
It's not so rare.
Well, true. Letters from dead people is like some horror movie!
Don't worry.
I'll deliver this Shigofumi.
Ooh, that's the spirit, newbie!
It's Chiaki! Why is she here?
Coming out here for a business trip? Nice work ethic.
0923!
Hey, long time no see.
We just met each other up above.
Oh yeah, I forgot. That's it! This is Chiaki's delivery area.
Hey, hey, that's...
Confirming the delivery area is the duty of the partner. Hey, hey, that's...
Confirming the delivery area is the duty of the partner.
Forgetting is something only humans do.
Grr! Shut it, Tomato Juice!
My name is Matoma, not Tomato.
Now repent for your existence of speaking without thinking.
What'd you say, bub?
Okay, okay... That's enough of the usual comedy routine.
It's true that we see each other a lot up above,
but it's been a long time since we met on the ground.
So that's why I said "long time no see."
This argument is pointless.
Yup! Totally!
You are really fascinating...
I have great interest in you.
The Shigofumi deliverers are all those who have died.
So they shouldn't be able to age.
But you're different. You age.
Each time we meet you get bigger.
So, Fumika... What are you?
Homerun! The third this season!
Hey!
Are you sure you're okay, Ran?
Shut it! That's rich, coming from you Aoto!
Okay, again!
The curry lead squad is heading out!
Please do.
Are you okay?
Yeah, totally fine.
Liar. You've been acting strange today.
Nothing really...
So, who is this Naoko Tateishi?
My mother...
Your mother?
But you said she died a long time ago...
I lied. She cheated and left with another man.
Nearly ten years ago.
I hated her all this time, loathed her.
So when I heard that she was fooled by that man and ended up in rough shape,
I thought "serves her right."
Ran...
Nanae...
Even here...
Fine, I know! All I need to do is take it, right?
Ah! That's a letter from your mom, you know!
You're her daughter, right? Then read it!
I'm free to do with it what I want to!
Yes, that's true.
Don't just accept it, Fumika!
This is a blasphemy against Shigofumi!
Those who won't pay honor to the dead are...
Kanaka, our job is to deliver Shigofumi.
After that, the people who receive them are free.
Man, I'm such a loser...
Let's head to the hospital this evening.
The teacher will be joining us, so we can use the car to take you to the mountain base.
I'm sorry about last night.
No, it's okay. It happened and that's that. Nothing good can come of it.
This is what's causing the problem, right?
Hey! Ow...
I meant to say sorry about this.
You saw?
Ran. Perhaps it's not my place to say, but read it.
I know you wanted to be rid of it, but you're even worse off now.
You should realize this.
You're scared.
Don't worry. I'm here.
I'll always be here by your side.
So... So...
'kay?
Nanae, you're so mean to me...
One! Two! Three! Four!
That's true... One! Two! Three! Four!
C-Captain!
What?
A fire!
The dormitory!
Ran!
What are you here for?
Don't tell me you planned on saving humans...
Give it up.
We mail carriers are not allowed to get involved between fire and life and death.
That's the Gospel Office's 14's mortal sin.
If you break it...
That's not true!
Fumika is very serious at her job,
so she's just confirming whether the Shigofumi was really accepted!
That's right, isn't it, Fumika?
I-I'm such a fool...
Mo... ther...
Yes, I've contacted the fire department.
Yes, please do it.
Captain, what did the teacher say?
Aoto, you handle things here.
Captain!
Mother, don't go... Please don't go...
Mother...
Mommy, where are you going?
Mommy, don't go!
Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Ran!
Hey now, what did you do?
It wasn't me. It was... something else.
Something else?
A compassionate rain...
I'm sorry, Ran.
I know just apologizing isn't going to make amends, but I apologize.
Even with a mother like me, you've turned out wonderful, Ran. You've worked so hard...
At your first public match, you may have lost, but you faced it straight on till the end.
It was excellent.
And the next time you met each other, you paid her back good!
You've always hated losing, Ran...
The inter-high school semi-finals was that linesman's fault.
That last serve was totally inbounds.
The second year team tournament was so cool!
You got revenge for everyone else's losses!
Ran, you can do it! You can do it, Ran!
It's cold...
It's cold!
She was such a fool...
She even came to my practice matches, and wrote them all down in such detail...
What a fool she was.
Aren't you glad you read it?
So, what kind of person was your mother?
You meanie...
