They say food is a good recovery gift.
You eat it and then it's gone, so it symbolizes the illness leaving.
I hear bath salts are nice too.
They mean all the sickness is washed away.
Bath stuff, huh? That could be good!
Are you guys dumb or what?
"Recovery gifts" are supposed to be from the recovered person, not to her.
You came.
She is a classmate, after all.
Now, now. She invited us to a party, so we should bring gifts.
Right, Ryo?
Hey, isn't Senkawa late?
Dang it, he's always like this!
What are you looking for here, Birdy?
Just come on.
It's Hayamiya.
Leave it for later.
Hey! What was that for?!
I promised to go to Nakasugi's house today, you know!
You're my Buddy, aren't you?
W-Well, yeah, but...
Don't worry, we'll be done soon.
Are you sure?
Trust your Buddy!

Which one should I wear?
I guess this one really is no good...
What should I do?
Is this really the place?
Yeah, Kitamura and I have been here once before.
She said it was a "normal house"...
What's normal about it?!
What are you flipping out about?
Nakasugi's the same person no matter what house she lives in!
Yes?
U-Um, I'm the e-esteemed Miss Sayaka Nakasugi's h-humble schoolmate...
What are you flipping out about?
Hi, I'm Kitamura, Miss Nakasugi's classmate.
We've been expecting you.
Oh, brother...
It's amazing inside, too...
It's like a movie set.
Hello, everyone!
Nakasugi...
Whoa, cute...
You look cute, Nakasugi!
Thank you! I bought this for today's party.
That color looks great on you.
Thanks. Um, where's Senkawa?
O-Oh, him. The jerk's disappeared off somewhere again.
He's not even answering his phone.
Oh...
Ah, that's right. Here, Nakasugi.
This is a little present from us. Congrats again on getting well.
We've caused you all worry, but as you can see, Sayaka is fine now.
I'm afraid I have to leave early, but I hope you'll enjoy yourselves.
Here we go!
This is baked king crab wrapped in sole
and champagne sauce flavored with beets.
Huh? Crab and beef what?
Yoshie, I'd like some viande, too.
Miss?
She used to be so sickly,
but now it seems she's healthier than before she was hospitalized!
Yes, talk about luck!
Hey, that was rude!
Well, it's true, isn't it?! Her side of the car was crushed!
But by the time we visited her the next day...
She escaped with nothing but a light concussion.
- Truly, it was a miracle. - Grandfather!
Let's stop talking about the accident.
I don't want to remember it. I'll have bad dreams...
Sheesh, you and your big mouth! You have no delicacy!
Well, excuse me!
I know, why don't we go out into the courtyard?
Huh?
French-style eating is a little too formal, isn't it?
Yoshie, let's have a buffet-style meal instead.
Oh, that sounds good!
I'm in!
Medically, this is inexplicable.
She's fully recovered from all the damage to her lungs and brain.
I've never seen a case like this.
The only possibility is that the damaged tissue spontaneously regenerated.
It's an unbelievable phenomenon.
This is weird...
What are you doing?
Tracking down where the marionettes came from.
Marionettes?
What you call "robots" here.
Robots here in an abandoned hotel?
Yep.
Was it a problem for me to visit you just as you were going out?
Nonsense, of course not.
This way I can get rid of a certain nuisance while I drop you off.
So, what did you come to find out today?
I hear you're meeting frequently with someone lately.
You know, they say "He who chases two hares catches neither."
Are you on your way to see him now?
This is a business trip. Unlike you, I have lots of work I need to do.
"G&G Company" This is a business trip. Unlike you, I have lots of work I need to do.
"G&G Company"
I'll warn you about one thing:
The Altan investigator is trying to dig up dirt on the Ryunka.
Growing the Ryunka is a whole different world from making a marionette.
If you're not careful, you'll get yourself hurt.
Don't assume you have much time.
An alien, eh?
I'll be fine.
If worst comes to worst... that's why you let me have her, right?
This is tasty!
Hey, Nakasugi, what's this called, again?
Hmm? I think it's "Veau Poêlé." I would guess the sauce is Marsala wine.
Veau Poêlé with Marsala wine sauce!
Can you say that, Chigira? Try it!
V-Veau Poêlé with Marks...
Nope, you messed up!
The buffet was a good call. I gotta tell you, it was rough at the table.
I'm sorry. My grandfather was trying to be thoughtful.
So what does he do for a living?
Huh?
His company makes high-tech machines and stuff, right?
He has tons of amazing engineers, huh? I saw them on TV.
He's donated to our school, too, right?
People call him by a lot of titles.
But to me, he's my only relative,
who raised me in place of my dead parents.
We have to walk on eggshells with this girl.
Don't say stuff like that!
Say!
Why don't we all go for a swim?
Miss!
Oh, so that's why you told us to bring our swimsuits!
I've been looking forward to this!
Hayamiya, can you call Senkawa again?
S-Sure.
Jeez... I'll text him again.
Hey!
What?
You know what! The party started a long time ago!
You saw the Tragedy of Bilugeva too, didn't you?
Ryunka is "invisible death" in the ancient Empire language.
We have to find it, fast.
And even if Geega was the one who brought it to Earth,
he must've had an accomplice here, right?
We're going to find out who.
Birdy, can you switch with me?
Shit!
Geega!
I died, didn't I?
Pinup girls going missing?
Oh, I remember that!
All the girls who disappeared had something to do with Giga's show.
He was a producer at your station.
I was wondering what made you call me up out of the blue...
They say Mr. Giga was fired.
I've never met him, so I wouldn't know much...
And? What story are you really working on?
The pinup girls scoop is way past its expiration date.
I can't believe you'd stick with it for long.
What are you really after?
Your wallet. I thought I'd have Empire TV's star newscaster buy me lunch.
I saw your interview with Satyajit Shyamalan.
I didn't go on that show for the fun of it.
And he was the one who offered to do the interview.
What's a TV station doing toadying up to the CEO of one business?
Shyamalan's Playmaker Industrial Company
did all the planning and production for our hit show.
He gets us the numbers. We can't go against him.
If we offend him, he'll leave us for someone else in no time.
Basically, the station doesn't want to wreck the honeymoon.
"Thank the gods for Shyamalan, the King of the Media," eh?
That's the size of it.
Seems like there's no one left at the station who can defy him.
So even the press, that force for justice, is a slave to the numbers.
What a sad reality!
Did you call me all the way out here so you could be sarcastic?
Did this Giga guy get hired on Shyamalan's say-so, by any chance?
Wow, I'm impressed you knew that.
I had a hunch...
Oh, I have to get to the studio, so I'll be going now.
See you later, Mr. Muroto.
Sure.
Reality is harsh, huh Sanada?
Here it comes!
Right!
Here!
Cut it out, Sudou!
You did that on purpose!
Dunno what you're talking about!
Sheesh!
Here.
Thanks. Hey, Nakasugi, are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm just a little tired, that's all.
I'll join you after I've rested a little more.
Here I go!
Got it.
Nice catch!
Is Nakasugi okay?
She looks like she wants to swim. Let's wait and see.
I'm a little surprised, though.
Hmm?
She always used to be more reserved, or more like gloomy, you know?
Yeah, she does seem kinda different, wearing that flashy dress and all...
And come to think of it, it's like she's been obsessing over Senkawa...
Wait, you don't think...
Huh?
What? No way! Not Senkawa!
But she was totally acting that way!
Hey, no having a private party over there!
Quit chatting and start swimming!
Shut up!
I was quite surprised when you said you would swim, Miss,
but I see now you were doing it to let your friends have fun.
That's not it.
What?
I really do feel sick. I need to rest a little...
Here it comes!
Right!
One more time!
I've been expecting you, Satyajit Shyamalan.
Thank you for coming all this way.
No, I apologize for inconveniencing you, Mr. Nakasugi.
Miss...
Senkawa!
I was afraid you wouldn't come.
I'm sorry. A lot of stuff happened...
I guess Hayamiya and the others were probably pissed, huh?
You might be in for it tomorrow.
So, um... How are you feeling? Are you all better?
Yes. I'm just fine now.
Yoshie says I shouldn't push myself too hard yet, though.
Yoshie?
That woman there.
She's lived and worked here since I was little.
But... maybe she's right.
I get so groggy sometimes.
And I can't remember anything...
Sometimes I'll start a book I've already read again from the beginning.
You know what? I died.
I died in that accident. And everyone else did, too...
But now I'm alive even though they're not...
God gave me a new life. I'm a new me.
I'm sure I was reborn.
I get that.
I wanted to thank you.
You're the one who carried me to the nurse's office that day, right?
Huh?
A scary man grabbed me on the roof,
but then when I woke up I was in the nurse's office...
Er, well, that was... um...
Thank you, Senkawa.
N-Nakasugi?
Um, l...
Senkawa?!
Miss!
Achoo!
You should've stayed until your clothes dried, like they told you to.
They're dry now.
Anyway, you two had a nice mood going there.
Sayaka Nakasugi's a pretty assertive girl.
I can see why you'd get a hormone rush.
I told you, stop saying "hormone rush"!
I mean, it's not like that...
- I mean, she's too... - What's that? I can't hear you!
Was I right about buying the flowers, or what?
You ought to thank me!
Says the girl who made me late in the first place.
But that was an impressive idea, coming from you.
Shion Arita's gotten lots of flower bouquets, yessiree!
They're pretty nice to get. It's a good Earth tradition.
That is not the Miss Sayaka I know!
She used to be so quiet, and she always wanted to be alone,
but she was so lively with her friends today!
What a strange thing to say.
Sayaka becoming more cheerful is the best thing we could ask for!
And her clothes? What about those clothes?
Miss Sayaka liked pale colors. She's never worn a color like that...
And today she ate viande... meat!
She never eats meat, Sir!
And that's not all. She...
Stop it!
So what if her tastes in clothes and food have changed?
You're the one acting strangely, not her!
She just swam in the pool.
She's been afraid of water all her life,
and she's never been able to set foot in a pool or ocean.
Are you still so sure I'm the one acting strangely?
It seems her compatibility with the Ryunka is good.
Looks that way, doesn't it? How much longer will this take?
This is purely speculation, but I believe it will be soon.
I look forward to it. This was worth waiting for.
Let's go! Have a good time!

Shion Arita here, yessiree!
The next episode is a scary summertime story!
A string of murders every night!
Right before and after them, you can hear a mysterious song, yessiree!
Noooo! I can't handle scary stories!
Birdy and Tsutomu start investigating whether it's connected to the Ryunka.
They're so cool!
Plus, a certain person is in trouble...!
