It's over there.
Maki, I've been wondering but
just what are you wearing?
It's mountain hiking Yamagirl fashion! To the very top!
Here! I'm aiming for this high!
Let's go already!
[ Physics Department's 13th Research Room Associate Professor Yukawa Manabu ]
We're coming in.
Excuse us.
Are you Professor Yukawa?
Yukawa is currently at a conference and not here.
Let me talk to you instead.
I am Kuribayashi Hiromi,
an associate professor.
Tagārin
Killing Curse
Episode
What is it? Hey.
Why do you have to bring me here secretly?
I'm sorry to ask you to come when I know you're busy.
Then you're here to confess.
I'm not.
Okay. Then you remembered something regarding Mai?
Actually...
What're you doing?!
Huh? Who's that?
He's our homeroom teacher, Mr Okada.
Oh, he's your teacher.
I'm gonna call the police!
What?!
So you're the perverted bald guy!
Me? A pervert? That's a bit rude!
Osato, come over here!
Osato!
Will we be able to know with him?
It is I who mentored Yukawa in physics.
Then would that mean that you're better than Prof. Yukawa?
Well, I've been guiding him since he was a student.
So I'm like his master.
Master?!
Please help me!
Leave it to me!
Wait! Wait!
If I'm not mistaken, you're here to know more about curses, right?
Yes! Curses don't exist, right?
They don't, right?
On November 4, 1922, British archaeologist, Howard Carter,
led a survey team to Egypt's Valley of the Kings, and found King Tutankhamun's tomb and his golden mask.
But after that, the sponsor of the excavation...
Um, let's see...
Lord Ca... Na... Carnarvon and his team members died mysteriously, one by one.
A Pharaoh curse?
He just read that, right?
Of course, they tried to use science to explain the deaths.
But many of the deaths were completely random accidents.
That mystery has yet to be solved.
What?!
So does that mean that curses exist?
He was just reading something, right?
For every phenomenon, there is a cause.
If you tie the two together, there will be a logical explanation.
Here you go.
I'm really sorry about that, Detective.
I really thought you were a pervert.
About that, you actually thought that when you just saw my face.
No, not at all!
Don't worry about it. I'm a worthless human being compared to you.
I'm really sorry.
Tagārin, I should get going.
What?
Fair tidings to you.
Didn't you want to tell me something?
For example,
the doctor would...
...use glucose as fake medicine
and give it to the patient as real medicine.
As the patient continues taking the fake medicine believing it as real,
the patient's symptoms will...
...will show improvement.
You're too close, meat dumpling!
Stay away from me!
So suspicious!
Get back there!
Thus, this psychological effect that can cause a body's reaction
is called the placebo effect.
On the contrary,
there is the anti-placebo effect. Regarding that...
So then, do curses exist?
You're surprisingly nosy, huh?
Associate Professor Kuriyabashi!
Yes?
Please quickly get to the conclusion.
Fine.
Then let me tell you.
The basis of curses is...
...psychological!
Of course not!
What?!
I almost got killed by the vase falling to my head!
How can the source of curses be psychological?!
She's right!
There's also Nakanishi Mai who watched the Cursed DVD. She jumped off the balcony without explanation.
R-Really?!
Are you really an Associate Professor?
It is truly mysterious!
Ah!
There is one thing!
One thing that could cause death after watching a DVD!
