Everything Gained is Lost! A Garden of Hope?!
Uh, then by applying the theory of Clark's third rule as a formula...
...we can see that the value of every phenomenon occurs...
...depending on the observer's viewpoint.
Ow!
Houjo!
S-Sorry sir!
This is it! Being hit by chalk for yawning during class!
This is mainstream high school life!
Let's go to the cafeteria.
Your treat today.
You wish!
The following people are to go to the Chairman's office.
Mutsuki Asahina, Kazumi Ryudo, Haruto Houjo.
Acting Chairman
...so do as you wish with them.
Yes, but these belong to the Chairman...
He no longer exists.
Think of it as a memento.
Memento?
What'll we do with this?
You should decide, since YOU were closest to the chairman.
And YOU were trusted the most!
What should I do?
Just leave it at the Holy Student Council for now.
Sure...
Huh?
I'm imagining things, I guess.
Acting Chairman Yes, it's me.
Acting Chairman
What? Why didn't you tell me that earlier?!
The Ox-Tiger Society consists of members of unknown origin.
After a thorough search...
...we found out it was the chairman of Saito High School.
Okay, leave it to me.
Mutsuki, weren't you a bit harsh on him?
Why? The two WERE close and the Chairman DID trust him!
Besides, that jerk...
Huh?
Guess it'll be okay here.
Please let me out.
What?
Let me out of this box.
What box?
Inside the package in front of you.
My name is Hope.
''Hope''?
You mustn't!
You mustn't open it!
YOU MUST NOT OPEN IT!!!
I'm sorry, Chairman! But I had to! I had no other choice!
It couldn't be. A ghost...?
Mr. Nanjo!
I've been looking for you, Haruto! What's the matter?
A ghost! I saw the ghost of the Chairman!
But the Chairman always WAS a ghost.
Oh, yeah.
Besides, I've already gotten rid of him.
Yes, you're right. Then what was that I just saw?!
I don't have a clue. But let's get back to this box.
What did I just see...
What's the matter? Hurry and open it.
Seems I wasn't too late.
Wasn't too late? What do you mean?
I mean, it was a good thing you didn't open this box.
Well, that's because the chairman's ghost said...
Oh, but there was a voice from within, saying it was Hope.
Hope? From within the box?
Wonder if God's in there?
Probably more like a fairy or celestial spirit.
And it'll grant any wish.
Thought I heard something.
Kazumi!
I'm with you! We're gonna swipe that box, right?
And have our wish granted!
That's right!
Okay!...But we're no match in strength for Nanjo.
You're right, but we have courage and wisdom!
Courage, maybe, but wisdom...
What is it? What's in that box?
Why would the Ministry of Education call?
A disaster; a calamity.
The worst and most powerful in history.
Disaster? Calamity?
But it said it was Hope. Was that a lie?
No, it's no lie.
But that's only as long as it stays in the box.
''Hope'' if it stays in, and ''Disaster'' if it's released?
I don't get it.
You don't need to.
Oh, please help me. My chronic spasms are acting up again.
What're you trying to pull?
Kazumi.
Huh?
Was it that obvious?
Well, I'll take that box anyway! To revive the school spirits!
I returned the school to normal, and I get this folly in return?
You picking a fight?!
Haruto, hold this for me.
Yes sir!
What?!
Thanks for the box!
Now we can turn the school back to normal!
Asahina! Kazumi!
You fools! That isn't what you think!
We'll wait and see...
...until we open the box!
Stop!
Haruto, after those two!
Turn the school back to normal...?
Then all the school spirits...
Haruto, after them!
Mr. Nanjo! Can that box return all the spirits?!
What is that box? Can that box return all the spirits?!
What's gotten into you?
You wanted the spirits to be eliminated, too.
Yes...you're right.
Besides, as I said, the box isn't what they think.
Come, I'll explain while we look for them.
Yes.
I can't open it.
The seal's too tight.
We've got no choice but to ask how to break the seal.
Ask who?
Why, our Mr. Nanjo, of course!
That would mean...if whatever's inside the box escapes...
People will be destroyed.
Right.
That's why we must stop those two, before the seal is broken.
What's the matter, Haruto?
Nothing...
But the seal can't be broken that easily.
Well, that's true.
Those guys couldn't do it, right?
Right. It's not likely, with their brains.
But they may break it by accident.
By accident?
By getting it wet, for instance.
Will that break the seal?
Well, not with water.
I see.
Haruto, you're acting strange.
Wh-wh-what makes you say that?
You sound funny, for one.
I sound perfectly fine!
Oh?
More importantly, how can the seal be broken?
Uh, I have to know, 'cause it could accidentally get opened.
The words and drawings must be correct for the seal to work.
I see! Since it won't be harmed by water...
...we can add strokes to make the words incorrect!
What?!
You two!
Don't come any closer than that! If you do...
Nice to meet you!
ARE YOU NUTS?! Who said anything about shaking hands?!
Give me something to write with!
I haven't got anything.
How can you call yourself a student, with no pen on you?!
You don't have one either...
That's not what you think it is! Give it back!
Don't come any closer! If you do...
You're going to open it anyway.
Kazumi!
Here you go!
Hey, stop!!
Holy Student Council
It's ironic that the brush the president, uh, past president...
...used to write his resignation would come in handy now.
Done! Go ahead!
I'm opening it!
NO!!
That's not what you think it is!
I'm tired of hearing that.
All right! We'll be with the school spirits again!
STOP!!
DON'T DO IT!!
Don't do it!
GET OUT OF MY WAY, CHAIRMAN!
Well done, Chairman...!
Chairman?
HUH?!!
CHAIRMAN?!?!
CIAO!
Haunted Junction
How could you...?!
But I thought the chairman was ex orcised!
It seems you've forgotten, Haruto.
Remember where this school stands?
It's in the center...
...of our 3 houses!
Asahina Shrine Saito High School
The location with the strongest spiritual energy on Earth!
Correct!
I was back to normal on that same day Nanjo ex orcised me.
Then why'd you wait?
Well, I wanted my return to be somewhat dramatic.
So that means Nino's alive?
How about Miss Hanako?
Hold your horses.
We must do something about this box first.
But this box is...
It's not what you think it is!
I was in a sweat when it was presented at the Occult Auction.
There was one guy who seemed very determined to get it.
He'd be from the Government.
Anyway, I was afraid some fool would open it and cause trouble.
So I had to outbid the others.
Now I must seal it once and for all, so that nobody can touch it.
Seal it? Why would a school spirit like you want to do that?
Mr. Nanjo.
It seems you misunderstand us school spirits.
Your only reason for existence is to interrupt studies...
...and delude people with your mischief.
You got into this line of work for some reason.
You have a little ESP.
You must've seen some school spirits during your childhood.
Yes.
Were there any bad spirits? There weren't, were there?
Yes, there were.
Really? What sort of spirits?
Long ago...
Wait for me, wait for me!
Not a chance!
As a child, I was so smart they used to call me a little genius.
But one day...
School spirits started chasing me around.
This carried on throughout junior high, and high school.
Hey Nanjo.
Play the Banjo!
If it wasn't for the school spirits...
...I could've fulfilled my dreams of becoming Prime Minister.
You're dreaming.
What?!
In fact, your whole life would've been just a dream.
Why you...!
The spirits were concerned about your health, so they chased you.
I see!
They gave him a workout, for studying but never ex ercising.
You say they worried about my health, for my own good?
That explains your acrobatic abilities.
The school spirits you hated so much kept you healthy.
No!
Watch out for traffic!
Come again tomorrow, bright and smiley!
Bye bye!
How could I not have realized it back then?
How could I not have...
Good, why don't we...
No!
What?
No.
You school spirits ARE a menace to a normal student life.
Oh, nuts!
Houjo!
I'm sorry sir.
What's with me?
I finally got the normal high school life I wanted.
...and that is why...
It's there! I've been accepted!
Hooray!
Yay...
I'll be joining this club. I'm a freshman majoring in Law!
My name is Haruto...Houjo.
So...anyway...
Hi, you guys!
Pardon?
Do we know you?
Um...
Got us confused with someone?
Pay attention.
Photo Album
What is this?!
This is hope?!
No.
THAT is the worst thing God ever bestowed on humans.
It wouldn't be Pandora's Box, would it?
What?! You mean the myth where after all evil escapes...
...only hope remains in the box?
Yes, it is Pandora's Box.
So that means...
No, it's not like that.
How can the hope that remained in the box make people happy?
It can't!
Right! This thing's name is ''Yocho''.
''Yocho''?
It shows the people it possesses their own future.
That would be awesome!
You're nuts!
If people saw their future, they'd have no dreams or hopes!
I see!
People have hopes and dreams 'cause the future's unknown.
That's right. That's why it's Hope while still in the box...
...but it becomes Disaster when it escapes.
Then what's happening is...
...the president is being shown his future.
This isn't good!
At this rate, the whole world's at risk!
We can't let that happen!
Haruto, come to your senses!
We must assemble the Holy Student Council!
What a terrible life I've had!
Nobody knows me... And I know nobody...
I kept my distance from others, so others walked away from me.
My life...my life...!!
President.
There's no time.
This might be harsh, but...
Mutsuki?
Mutsuki!
Calm down.
I was awful to you...
...I did it for myself. Now I'm all alone. I know no one...
Be quiet!
I'll be alone for the rest of my life...
Shut up!
Snap to it!
I'll forgive you, President.
Maybe I let him off a little TOO easily.
Asahina.
Way to go, President!
Kazumi...
You guys...
Haruto!
Here!!
The Holy Student Council badges! But, Chairman...
Don't just stand there! There's no time to lose!
Want to make the same mistake Nanjo did?!
I see.
The school spirits gave Mr. Nanjo the health he lacked.
Then for me...
Attention Holy Student Council!
We have an emergency at Saito High School!
Everybody get here on the double!!
WELCOME!!
Holy
Everyone...
I realize that I'm in no position whatsoever...
...to ask you all for your help.
But I've realized that I need you all!
I need you...
Count on us, President.
Red Mantle.
I'm so glad to see you again.
Miss Hanako!
I'll do my best, too!
Mirror Girl!
Don't forget us!
We're here too!
Haruo! Bones! Giant!
President!
Nino!
Tell us what to do!
All of you...
Thank you.
Everyone surround it, and form a hexagon around it!
Right!
Okay!
Right away!
What do we do now?
They can't keep it up forever!
We'll open the box inside the hexagon...
...and gradually decrease the size of the hexagon.
O-Open the box?
But how?
I'll go.
No, let me go.
No.
I'll go.
Haruto.
You'll be shown your future again.
Can you handle it?
Haruto!
Haruto, be careful!
President!
I'll be okay.
I will. Because the future...
Now! Everyone move in!
It's not working!
They're being pushed out!
Blue Hanten!
Miss Yamiko!
Teke Teke!
Mikami!
Thanks everyone!
You're a great help!
They've all come!
Oh no!
Giant's in trouble!
Nanjo!!
Do it now, Haruto!
President!
''Yocho'' of darkness! Become Hope and return to this box!
Haruto!
President!
I'm okay.
HOORAY!!!
President!
I don't know what future you were shown.
But with effort, the future can always be...
I'm okay.
I see. Well, good luck.
Thanks.
It's okay, my future will change.
I'll make sure of that!
Okay everyone, here we go!
Yeah!!
To our hopes, and to our future!
WELCOME!!
OH MY GOD!!!
