Everyone Should Have a Little School Spirit
Aah, it's a lazy summer day!
It smells.
-What smells? -The odor.
-What odor? -The toilet odor.
Probably. Toilets usually are smelly.
It's more than I can bear.
Please, do something!
Okay, okay! Just stop clinging to me!
Nino, bring me some iced coffee!
Coming right up!
Your iced coffee.
Why are you wearing these? I told you to put on shorts.
Take these off!
B-B-But, I...!
I told you, little pretty boys must wear shorts!
I-I'm sorry! Th-That's my...!
I gotta get a shot of this!
I'll post this up. Remember to flush after every bowel movement.
What does this word say? Remember to flush after every bowel movement.
Bowel movement. Remember to flush after every bowel movement.
-Bowel movement...? -It means ''poo.''
Oh, poo-poo!
Be more subtle.
That Kazumi!
-He's been possessed by the pool ghost that drags people under. -Please give me that photo!
Hi! Are you possessed, Kazumi?
Kazumi!
Oh, Miss Hanako! You're alive!
To Kazumi, Hanako's ex orcism is a lot more effective than mine!
That horrible photo...
There's a ghost in the pool that pulls people under?!
There are also the 7 wonders of the pool.
The 7 wonders of the pool?! The pool alone has 7 wonders?
Yup!
The 2nd wonder: the mysterious man-faced fish!
Those are some well-chiseled features!
The 3rd wonder: the mysterious man-faced sea cucumbers.
That one looks like a Picasso!
Also, there's a carpet of blood that stains the pool red at night...
Occasionally, the tortoise of gratitude appears at the pool...
...begging for help to return to her palace in the sea...
And if you jump into lane #4, you'll drown instantly.
They've tried draining the pool, but it doesn't change a thing.
Hey, are you listening, Prez?
Help! Get them off me!!
There's not a speck of decency in any of them!!
Why aren't you ex orcising them?!
THERE IS NO NEED TO!
They can go to their final resting place on their own.
That is the educational motto of this school!
There isn't one spirit in this school that'd threaten people!
Although they will definitely cause mischief to scare people.
THEY ARE ALL CUTE LITTLE CHARACTERS!!!
So you see, they are perfectly harmless.
The prez is gonna bite the dust.
Why?
It's your fault, Chairman.
Where's the president of the holy student council?!
You! I'm a teacher
Tell that Red Mantle not to roam around during exam study time! I'm a teacher
He's ruining the concentration of the female students!
I'm depending on you...
That does it. I can't take it any more.
I hate this life!!!
Then what kind would you like?
A life without this sort of thing!!
I want...!
I want...! I want...! I w...!
I want a normal school life with no ghosts or weird things.
A normal school life?!
A normal school life...
...is...
-...is going to and from school normally.
-Good morning! -...is going to and from school normally.
Playing normal, invigorating sports.
Falling in love the normal way. Ex changing normal diaries.
Dancing normal, normal folk dances.
-Being dumped normally. -I hate love!!!
Getting over it normally.
That...
That is the kind of school life I want to lead!
Got a point! At this rate, you'll probably lose your hair.
Definitely! You'll be as bald as a billiard ball!
Wanna use my mirror, buddy?
A billiard ball...
Just kidding, here you go.
ASSHOLES!!!
This is wrong. This is all wrong!
Ack! My guts!!
This life is bad for the health...
I've gotta change it, and soon!
Not likely.
Let's all get along with the school spirits!
They're not going to disappear any time soon, after all!
Spirits...disappearing...?
Spirits disappearing...
Spirits, spirits, spirits disappearing...
I have it!
What?!
Why didn't I think of it sooner?! It's so simple!
That's right!
If the spirits disappear, this'll become a normal school!
Then--get this--I'll be relieved from that stupid position...
...of president of the holy student council!!
Hold on there! What'll become of Nino?
Yeah! What'll become of me?
Naturally, he'll disappear.
Then, what about Miss Hanako?
Naturally, she'll disappear.
A-And us?
You'll be the first to go!
All right! The ghosts will all disappear!!
I must get started right away!
I'm going to hire me an ex orcist to clean this place up!
Hold up a minute!
Let him go.
But, Chairman!
Hey, if he gets an ex orcist, you'll disappear too, Chairman.
It's okay! Let him try his worst!
Chairman...?
Red Mantle wipe!
Hi, I'd like to hire an ex orcist!
Yes! This is Ex orcist Watch 9 1 1!
You got a ghost problem? We'll take care of it!
Ex cellent, ex cellent!
Your name and home address, please?
My name is Haruto Houjo!
But it's not my home that I need ex orcised, it's my school!
All right, what is the name of your school?
Saito High, ma'am!
What? Saito High?
Yes.
The high school founded by the Saito group?
Yes, that's right...
The supervisor's not in now.
Please call again in 1 00 years!
What the heck was that?
Oh, well. I'll call elsewhere!
Hello, I'd like to hire an ex orcist!
Hello, you have reached Osorezan Ex orcism Society.
We'll handle any kind of ghosts!
Ex cellent! I'm calling from Saito High, Tokyo!
OH, MY GOD! The cause of my seizures!!!
Hello, I'd like you to ex orcise Saito High!
No way.
Hello. Good-bye.
-I'm calling from Saito High... -I can't put your call through.
-...for an ex orcism! -All operators are busy.
PLEASE!!!
Go away!
Why...?
Why do all ex orcising firms turn me down...
...when they hear ''Saito High?!''
You know the answer to that!
This spiritual area is infamous for chasing away...
...even the world's greatest ex orcists.
It's pointless to even think of getting an ex orcist.
Oh, well!
Let's forget everything and just have a good time!
Come on, ghostie! Come on, ghostie! Ghostie, ooh!
Knock it off!!!
Red Mantle wipe!
If no one will ex orcise this place, then I'll do it myself!
I'll ex orcise all of you, and that little ghost too!
The pool isn't even over there.
''Ex orcism is the art of abolishing ghosts.''
Ex orcising Right ''Ex orcism is the art of abolishing ghosts.''
Ex orcising Right Yes! That's the absolute truth!
''Ex orcism should never be attempted by an amateur.''
''It is extremely dangerous, and is best left to a professional.''
Problem is that the pros refused!
''That is all.''
That is all?! Hey! The rest of this book is just memo space!
Damn! Are these the only books on ex orcism...
...the Fukazawa bookstore carries?!
Oh! This might have it!
Ex orcism Plus Oh! This might have it!
Ex orcism Plus ''For an ex orcism, you need a lizard's tail, a bat's eyeball...
Ex orcism Plus ...and a young woman's saliva.''
How am I gonna get hold of a young woman's saliva?!
I'll get Asahina to help me!
''I-I want some of your saliva!''
I can't say that...
I-I know, I'll ask Miss Hanako! But...
...she's a school spirit, though!
I've been brought to a dead halt by a young woman's saliva.
I've got to salivate... I mean, concentrate!
Good morning, dear!
Oh, is Haruto still asleep?
Yes, it looks like he was up late last night, studying.
I suppose it's up to daddy to go give him a wake up kiss.
Father...
Please teach me how to perform an ex orcism.
Please, Father.
What's wrong there, Haruto?
Haunted Junction
The president...
I'll ex orcise all of you, and that little ghost too!
He hasn't been back for 3 days since he said that.
Maybe he's come down with something.
That photo!
Oh! Isn't that the president?
Yeah! What's he's doing?
Hey, school spirits!
I'll show you!!!
I'll show you!!
What's that?
It looks like a magic symbol.
Think he plans to ex orcise all the spirits at once, with it?
Oh! He hasn't given up yet.
But that thing won't...
Finished!!
Holy Water
Just have to sprinkle holy water on it, and say the incantation!
This'll be great!
Mr. President?
Hi there, Nino. We were only acquainted for a short while.
I wish you well in the other world.
I really don't think that magic symbol will ex orcise us.
Huh?
This is a magic symbol used to return demons to their world.
Huh?
Ghosts and demons have a very different spiritual nature.
Huh?!
You shouldn't expect this magic symbol to ex orcise anything...
HUH?!
Father!
Is my explanation helping?
Maria...
Please offer me your heavenly guidance!
I want to lead a normal, normal, normal, normal...
...normal daily life, for a boy of my age.
Maria.
Maria?
You'll help me?
Maria...?
It's an earthquake!
This is a big one!
An earthquake?
I had an accident.
That was a big earthquake.
I'm glad the statue of Maria wasn't broken.
Holy
Ow...
Sorry, it's occupied!
Wait a second... This is the hallway.
Is somebody in there? Mom? Dad?
Out of paper? Shall I get some?
This way please, Mr. President!
Ow.
That wasn't very nice...
Huh?
Hey! The school lavatory!
Red Mantle, you jerk!!
Asahina! Kazumi!!
That hurt!
Huh? The school lav?!
GROSS!!
-What? -What's what?
-What how? -How what?
Where's Miss Hanako?
Hey, something's strange here.
Strange how?
Like I can't sense any spiritual energy.
Yeah. Now you mention it...
...no ghosts have tried to possess me.
How can it be?
THE REASON IS...
...actually, this isn't the time to be scaring you, is it?
Chairman!
It would seem that the time has come for me to tell all!
Oh, I forgot. Shouldn't be scaring you.
This school is located smack-dab in the middle of a triangle ...
...formed by Saint Marine Church, Asahina Shrine...
...and the Senryu Temple.
In short, the triangle of power formed by these three...
...sent great spiritual power to this school.
Huh? You mean...?
This school is crawling with ghosts because of our homes?!
That earthquake occurred to move...
...the church's statue of Maria...
...the shrine's guardian dogs...
...and the temple's statue of Buddha.
Their movement also disturbed the triangle's magnetic field.
Consequently, all of the spirits in this school...
...have disappeared.
Aside from myself.
That...means...
This is now nothing but a normal, ordinary school!
Yay, Haruto! Way to go, Haruto!
I'm gonna head right home and take down the statue of Maria!
All right!
FOOL!
Look over there!!
Over where?
The pool water has evaporated!
It came from the fissure in lane #4.
Now you mention it, there was something strange in the air...
I'll tell you what this fissure is.
An entrance to the demon world; a world full of hate and evil.
Until now, the entrance was sealed off by the 7 wonders...
...of the pool, and the 7 school spirits.
Now that they're gone, who knows what'll happen?!
The evil creatures of the demon world who were held back...
...will form a tidal wave to push us back!
This land will become a hell of hate and evil desires!
With the school as the epicenter, the very Earth...
...will be destroyed!
Nuts!
He's been possessed by a devil from the fissure!
For real?!
Evil spirit, begone!
Huh? What?
Asahina!
Holy water...
I get it.
Holy Water I get it.
Holy Water
Holy water works!
I dunno what's going on, but thanks!
No! The tidal wave!
The evil spirits are starting to leak out, big time!
Chairman, can't we call Miss Hanako and the others back?
We can. Or rather, you can.
Me?
The 7 badges I gave you...
Use those, and summon the 7 school spirits, including myself.
The 7 badges...?
All right.
Mr. President!
What you're about to do...
...is exactly the opposite of what you hoped for!
I'm...
I'm not about to trade it for the destruction of our world!
Very good, President.
We have an emergency at the pool in Saito High!
Everybody assemble, on the double!
WELCOME!
We're here!
-Nino! -Miss Hanako!!
Red Mantle Mask and Giant, hold back the tidal wave!
Understood!
Miss Hanako, link my washroom to the school lavatory!
Coming up!
Nino and Mirror Child, go assist Miss Hanako!
What should we do?
Bring vast amounts of holy water from the church!
Then we'll need to eat something first...
I'll make some mouth-watering soup.
You two are so tedious!
Asahina, write this incantation on Kazumi's body.
What, this?
I get it! The Houichi Miminashi maneuver!
That's a daring plan...
Got it?
Miss Hanako, hurry!
Coming...Here it comes!
I got it!
President, we have holy water!
Good! Red Mantle Mask, Giant! Pull out!!
It's not working! The holy water has entered the fissure...
...but the tidal wave is being pushed out!
I know!
Asahina!
Okay, we're all set here!
Now I'll be safe.
Kazumi! You take the brunt!
That's how it is!
It's a REVERSE Houichi Miminashi maneuver!!
To the school grounds!!
Should we just leave him?
Wow, look at Kazumi!
He's absorbed all the demon spirits! Yeek!
Miss Hanako, call Kazumi!
Hi, Kazumi!
Over here!
Huh?
Maybe he needs more of a push...
Have to do something flashier.
Huh? Are those rice balls?
Crap, there's no other way... Do it, Miss Hanako!
Okay...
Oh, Kazumi...
Wanna play?
Kazumi! Hanako wants you!
Make the right choice!
Lose another layer, Hanako!
Coming...
- Here he comes! - Here comes Kazumi!
He's coming?
This is no time for a nosebleed, Prez!
What luck! The magic symbol is still active!
It's up to you, Asahina!
Right! I've got plenty of energy after eating those rice balls!
Evil spirits, begone! The ultra-hyper special Asahina...
...EXORCIST ATTACK!!!
Evil! Back whence you came!!!
The smell...
I think it's gone.
It doesn't stink any more, thanks to the holy water.
Oh. How nice.
Oh, Haruto! I brought you toilet Hanako from the south...
...statue Ninomiya from the north...
...and plenty of other school spirits!
Look after them, President!
Pleased to meet you!!
Oh. How nice.
President of the holy student council!
You haven't done what I asked!
Do something about the Red Mantle already, would you?!!
Uh-huh.
The last president was much better.
But it's been 3 days.
He's stuck in a lethargic state.
I guess restoring the school tipped him over the edge.
Too bad. I've got my own problems.
I may not look it, but I'm a teacher!
What's wrong with carrying a child, hm?! Tell me!

Miss Hanako!!
A comment from Mr. President!
Right! W-Well, you see... Kazumi gets possessed by a GIRL!
But he always gets possessed.
Yes, but this girl is super-cute!
WHAT WILL I DO?!! I'm totally devoted to Miss Hanako!!
Being popular is a curse!
Is that the issue here?!
I think there's a reason.
Next time, on Haunted Junction, Episode 3!
Love to the Point of Possession
WELCOME!!!
I'm possessed by you.
