Just because l was lonely
That is the only reason l cried
But it happens quite a lot
l don't want to be left alone
The balance of my heart is being upset because of love
ls it my dream alone to be in love with you?
l love you, l love you, that's why l'm afraid!
There is another me here that wants everything right now
l want to see you more l want you to come see me
But if you can't, don't bother
l want you to be with me always
But, for some reason, l treat you cold
l want to see you more, but...
There are two of me here in my heart
All alone on a hill
l've been waiting for someone all this time
lt's probably because l believed in the sunflowers in bloom
The sun makes my heart beat faster
But half of me wants to be unsure
So, l took off just one of my shoes
l turn around to look at a street l will never return to
lf it becomes a memory, l want to think back to it...
...with a kind of warm feeling
l want to chase after that summer breeze once again...
...and remember the boy l loved...
...waving to me in the blue skies.
Almost 1 ,000 statues!
Next year, my day in the limelight will surely come!
Tatsugoro Saito, just you wait and see!
ls Nino here?
Aw, he isn't here yet?
Rushed down here for nothing.
Hey, Prez. Could you summon him here with the badge?
Hey, President! Are you listening?! Hey!
Hi y'all!
Oh, isn't Hanako here?
Look around. lt's obvious, isn't it?
Prez, summon her here with your badge.
Hey, wait a minute. We're summoning Nino first.
Oops. Sorry about that, l didn't even notice.
Look at this!
"We shall do things for ourselves, by ourselves"...?
What's this?
Could it possibly be a slogan?
That's right!
Listen. This is the new Holy Student Council slogan!
Now do as is written.
Ouch!
Wha-What are you trying to do?!
l became so upset. Sorry...
And it's such fun watching people panic...
lt looks like he's possessed by a strange spirit.
President, now's the chance to summon my dear Nino.
R-Right!
We have an emergency! Nino, get over here, on the...
l'm not falling for that!
Hey, you're getting smarter.
And you, Kazumi!
What's a student like you doing, playing with lighters?
As President of the Holy Student Council, l must confiscate it.
Honestly, you two...
Urgent, urgent...
lt's Nino, it's urgent... Nino's in big trouble...
lt's Nino, it's urgent... Urgent, urgent...
SHUT UP!!
What about Nino?
Nino has gone missing.
What?!
N-Nino...
My dear Nino! My dear Nino!!
President!
R-Right!
Emergency!
Nino, get to the school grounds on the double!
WELCOME!!
Hey, what's wrong?! Nothing's happening!
There's no way us school spirits can resist the badge summons.
Therefore, we can only assume that Nino's been kidnapped.
Nino's been...
Kidnapped!
And whoever kidnapped Nino has probably trapped him with a spell.
"Spell..."?
So you're saying the person who kidnapped Nino is...
A professional in this field.
Then we've gotta be careful.
Perfect time to leave the Holy Student Council.
So long. l hate to be so hasty, but l must be going...
Hold on a moment!
President, l'm disappointed!
Nino is almost family to us!
We've suffered through hard times together!
And you're just going to abandon him?!
Kazumi!
l apologize! l was mistaken.
Your understanding is all l ask for, Mr. President.
l'm touched...
Stop it! Stop it!
Delete! Delete!
Kazumi! What do you have up your sleeve?!
lt's odd that you'd be so enthusiastic about Nino.
Excuse me, Asahina.
But Kazumi's actions reflect his genuine feelings for Nino.
Listen to me!
When it comes to this guy...
...and his genuine feelings...
...you won't even find this many genuine feelings in him!
Even if you were to find some, there'd be under 0.00000001 %.
Asahina! Watch your mouth! Apologize to Kazumi!
Don't worry, Mr. President.
My poor daily conduct has caused her to lose trust in me.
l'm the one to blame.
Wait a minute! What's that attitude?!
You're making me look like the bad guy, here.
l see. Okay, l understand now.
lf you're that worried about Nino...
...you'll be happy to make the effort to find him.
What is Asahina planning to do, drawing this magic circle?
She's going to have a spirit enter Kazumi, to ask what it saw.
l get it. They can deceive human eyes but not spirit eyes, right?
That's correct.
The situation is getting pretty grave.
Are you serious, Asahina?
Of course l am!
This'll work as long as you feel friendship toward Nino.
Uh...l hear you, but...
Spirits, spirits...!
Come here, come down...!
lt's coming!
Did it work?
l think he's just dizzy, isn't he?
Can you hear me?
You saw the Sontoku statue being taken away, didn't you?
Tell me. What did they look like?
Gulp! He's possessed by the spirit of a dog!
This always happens!
What are you going to do Asahina?
Let's put that aside and...
...take pictures! Pictures!
Look at that.
Oh my, what're they doing?
They're from that high school just over there.
How creepy.
But Asahina, don't you think this is going a bit far?
We've got no choice. He was possessed by a dog's spirit.
What? What is it?
Did you find Nino?
l hope that's the case.
No, no, stop it!
Stop it! Stop it right now, Kazumi! You're a human being!
l'm so scared! Stop it!
Shut up, already!
lt's escaped!
That's the end of that.
No, it's not.
l can keep on going.
That's enough, Kazumi.
You've passed your limit, mentally and physically.
But l...have to see Nino... it's important...
Kazumi!
What a guy...!
Can't stop the tears!
Something's fishy.
Very fishy.
Huh?
That's it!
What?!
What is this?
Looks like a Shinto shrine.
ln which case, casting spells would also make sense.
lt's all fitting together.
But why would the shrine want Sontoku statues?
After a couple of punches, l'm sure the priest will gladly talk.
Asahina, let's hold back on the violence.
We'll only find out by going in.
Well done, Shikigami demons.
Now l have all the Ninomiya Sontoku statues!
Who are you, anyway?
What do you need us Sontokus for?
Just what are you gonna do?!
l'm looking to achieve a long-cherished ambition.
Ambition?
Seems somebody has come.
Ah, it's Mutsuki! And Chairman!
Hmm, so they've arrived.
They've come to get us. So please give us back!
l cannot do that. l'll have to ask them to leave.
After a little roughing up, that is.
What a mess.
Something smells about this place.
What're you doing?!
Well, it's been a custom since l was a kid.
You're the son of a Buddhist monk!!
And you too!
You're too cruel, Asahina.
You're the son of a minister!!
So, l'm just a fallen angel.
Cut the drama, would you?!
As we speak, Nino could be in a lot of trouble!
Go!
They're demons!
l'm scared! l'm really scared, Mr. President!
So, you've come.
Thank you, thank you.
For heaven's sake, please don't do it!
Oh, my lifework! My lifework!!
You devil!
What're you saying? The devils are...
...over there!
Take that!
Unreal, Asahina!
She's something!
lt was a "shikigami", huh.
Where'd you get the extra film?
Check it out.
lmpressed?!
ls he a genius, or just plain stupid...?
Chairman, what's a "shikigami"?
Well, they're demons controlled by the Onmyoji.
With black magic, pieces of paper can be brought to life.
Right... right...
And how do you spell, "Onmyoji"?
lt's O-N-M--
You guys! This isn't a study period!
Okay! Sorry to keep you!
Ready when you are!
Wow! That felt good!!
lt's good to go wild once in a while!
Now, let's rescue Nino!
"Once in a while?" But you always go wild!
Not your average Shouta complex...
All things flow, and nothing is permanent...
Hmph, that girl's not bad.
But l've got countless replacements.
Okay, let's go.
Yes, yes, yes.
-Asahina! -Mutsuki!
Let go!
Oh no! Asahina! Asahina!
Asahina!
You guys, do something about this.
Yes, she's right! We've got to do something.
What should we do?!
Kazumi?
lt's always times like these that he gets possessed.
Well, good-bye everyone.
So long.
Chairman!
Stop it! Don't touch me!
What am l to do? What am l to do?!
Think!
Hey!
This will do!
Let me go!
Take that! And that! And that! You're only a piece of paper!
And what the hell is a student like you doing with a lighter?!
But, it's not mine...
We'll proceed together!
Superb, Mutsuki!
Nino, Nino, Nino, Nino...!!
These stairs lead to hell.
Huh! Sounds like fun!
Straight to hell!
l'm scared! Really scared!
Me too!
Will we see a devil? Or a monster?
We finally have them all.
The long awaited time to take revenge has arrived.
What is this?
These are the 1 ,000 Sontoku!
"1 ,000 Sontoku?" Explanation, please.
By aligning the 1 ,000 Sontoku and casting a spell...
...it's said one can receive the knowledge of 1 ,000 people.
However, the heads of all Sontokus will become empty.
But l also heard nobody's been able to do that for a long time.
lmpressive, Occult Chairman. You're very informative.
Don't you recognize me, Chairman?
Ugh! You're Abeno Donmei.
That's right.
No wonder only l was able to avoid the spell and come here.
So other spirits from the school can't come here?
No.
Chairman, who is that?
A sixteenth-generation descendant of Abeno Seimei.
Donmei failed our school's entrance exams for decades...
Even after death, his hatred of the exams kept his spirit here.
ln other words...
He's an idiot.
That's right, he's an idiot; he's a real idiot!
He was my classmate until junior high.
His grades were always the very worst! He's a true idiot!
Shut up! Don't say "idiot"!!
This is all because you used to call me idiot, Ta-chan.
l started believing it myself, and l lost the ability to study!
"Ta-chan?"
Oh, my name is Tatsugoro Saito.
ln any case, that disgrace ends today!
Magical powers of the 1 ,000 Sontoku statues!
Mutsuki!!
Nino!
lt's too late now!
Mandora andora hans mans! Noronoro kamekame...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
l hereby borrow your knowledge!!
Nino!!
You fool, take this!
ls that the only trick you know, or something?
Nino!!
Mutsuki!!
l almost became an idiot.
Now you're safe to keep living as my little sister.
Hey, that's not fair!
l guess you're now one short of 1 ,000.
l get it. That's why Kazumi was so worried.
Give me my brains back!
This would suit you perfectly!
Hey! That's mine!
What?
Ah, well... you see...
Great throw!
Thanks!
Wh-What's this! l've never seen anything like it! Wow!
That's mine. Mine!
Huh?
They can show this? Wow, see through! And he-llo!
That's my book!! Give it back!!
No way! Who'd give back a great thing like this?!
Finders keepers!
Give back the book!
That's the whole reason l came to help rescue Nino!
ldiot...
Will he be back next year, come exam time?
No. His mind's probably filled with other interests now.
Wow! This is great! So great!
lt's just like experiencing spring all over again!
Cherry blossoms have bloomed!!
Looks like spring's here.
That's spring all right.
l quit! Forget the exams! l quit! l quit!
l'm taking this book with me to the other world!!
My book...
The idiot has finally left for the other world.
With a new focus, don't you think, Haruto?
Yes l do.
Talk about focus, this camera also has auto-focus.
The pun was kind of lame, was it?
l passed the entrance exams, and yet look at my lifestyle.
OH MY GOD...
Lady, l love your blue jacket!
l'm in love with the lady in the blue jacket!
Lady, l want more!
Wonderful! The lady in the blue jacket is marvellous!
What's wrong with you all?
Who are you?!
Ahh!! l love your blue jacket!
Next time, on Haunted Junction Episode 8.
The forbidden red and blue.
WELCOME!
Ooh, marvellous!
Farewell, Sontoku. Come again, naivete!
