[01:59] Hijita
Seriously, you should be doing this for
your husband, not your younger brother.
[02:03] Hijita Sister
And I'm practicing on you so I don't
rip a hole in my husband's ear.
[02:08] Hijita
So I'm just a guinea pig?
[02:09] Hijita Mom
Koutarou.
[02:11] Hijita
What, Mom? I'm busy right now.
[02:12] Hijita Mom
Nyuudou-kun's here.
[02:14] Nyuudou
H-Hey...
[02:16] Nyuudou
Sorry to interrupt your siscon activities.
[02:18] Hijita
What? N-No! What are you doing here, anyway?
[02:21] Nyuudou
Well, stuff happened.
[02:26] Nyuudou
I'm going to be staying at Zashiki's
place next door again this year,
[02:30] Nyuudou
so I came by to say hi.
[02:31] Hijita
Did you run away again?
[02:33] Nyuudou
Ah...
[02:34] Nyuudou
Yeah, pretty much.
[02:36] Hijita
Hey, why don't you try talking to Seimei?
[02:39] Hijita
I know how he is, but he's our teacher...
[02:42] Nyuudou
What's the point in telling him?
[02:46] Nyuudou
It won't change anything.
[02:49] Beniko
Hey, you two.
[02:51] Beniko
I brought you some shaved ice.
[02:53] Beniko
Eat up!
[02:54] Hijita
Beni-chan, you're here?
[02:55] Beniko
I made some special syrup in the kitchen.
[02:58] Beniko
Eat up, Hijita.
[03:00] Hijita
Isn't it a bit brown?
[03:02] Beniko
I made it so it'd suit your
tastes as a dorotabou.
[03:04] Beniko
I'm having a normal strawberry one.
[03:06] Nyuudou
I'll have the other strawberry.
[03:07] Hijita
I wonder what everyone else is
doing on their summer vacation.
[03:11] Nyuudou
Oota said he was going to watch
baseball with Akibe-san.
[03:14] Both
Yay!
[03:16] Beniko
They're a surprisingly active couple.
[03:19] Nyuudou
Right?
[03:19] Beniko
Come to think of it, three days ago,
[03:21] Beniko
the tanuki and cat came by to borrow
a bike trailer to catch some bugs.
[03:28] Hijita
"Dorotabou tastes," my ass! This is just dirt!

That's my father!
[03:49] Mamekichi
Whoops. I guess it's another
one of Renjou-san's family.
[03:54] Mamekichi
The giant spider we caught
earlier was your mom...
[03:58] Tamao
Is this stag beetle your little sister?
[04:00] Renjou
That's not my little sister.
Isn't that a cockroach?
[04:04] Tamao
Well, shoot.
[04:05] Tamao
We're getting nowhere on our
bug-collecting research project.
[04:07] Tamao
My mom's gonna chew me out.
[04:09] Mamekichi
I'm not gonna get yelled at.
[04:11] Mamekichi
Because my dad went to Kyoto today.
[04:14] Mamekichi
My mom's anger is always directed at my dad.

It's been so long.
[04:33] Mame Papa
You haven't been at work lately.
I've been worried.
[04:36] Miki
Yeah, I was busy teaching your son at school.
[04:40] Miki
Also, I'm your son's former
homeroom teacher and a guy.
[04:42] Miki
Figure it out already, you pervy old man!
[04:44] Mame Papa
Ah, it's time for a potty break.
[04:47] Miki
Oh, let me take you.
[04:49] Miki
Onee-chan!
[04:51] Torako
What are you yelling about?
[04:53] Miki
I said I'd help out while I was back home,
[04:55] Miki
but why do I have to deal
with that guy again?!
[04:58] Torako
Well, you said you were broke, so I'm
letting you make some pocket money.

Come on...

Coming!
[05:44] Haruaki

[05:46] Haruaki
I've been waiting for you!
[05:49] Haruaki
'Sup, Yakubyougami? What do you want?
[05:52] Sano
Hell if I know.
[05:54] Sano
I only came here because the principal
gave me a map and it led here.
[05:58] Haruaki
What? You didn't hear?
[06:00] Haruaki
I told the principal that I wanted to
spend the summer with you, and he said,
[06:06] Haruaki
"Then he's all yours this year."
[06:09] Amaaki
Huh?
[06:11] Sano
Seriously?
[06:14] Mom
I can finally put this guest
tea cup to good use.
[06:17] Haruaki
I wonder if Sano-kun would
like green tea or hojicha.
[06:22] Mom
Well, I'm glad you were discharged from
the hospital before summer vacation.
[06:27] Mom
I almost fainted when I heard
you'd gotten hurt in a fire.
[06:32] Haruaki
But I'm totally fine no—
[06:33] Mom
Haruaki...
[06:34] Haruaki
Huh?
[06:36] Mom
You got lucky this time,
but don't push yourself.
[06:41] Mom
If you push yourself and end up
disregarding your own safety,
[06:45] Mom
you're also disregarding
everyone you're important to.
[06:49] Mom
You need to realize you're alive
because people support you.
[06:54] Mom
If you're going to push yourself, do so
in a way that won't make anyone sad.
[06:58] Haruaki
Okay. I'm sorry I worried you.
[07:03] Haruaki
Huh? You start your part-time
job today, Sano-kun?
[07:06] Sano
Yeah, pretty much.
[07:08] Sano
So after this, I'm heading
to Hyakki Academy Island.
[07:11] Haruaki
In that case, do you mind if I go with you?
[07:14] Haruaki
I forgot something in the faculty room.
[07:16] Haruaki
But wait... how are you
getting to the island?
[07:19] Sano
Well, the principal...

[07:24] Haruaki
Huh... So if you call this phone
number, someone will pick you up?
[07:29] Sano
Yeah. Hello? I'd like to go
to Hyakki Academy Island.
[07:33] Yanagida
Thanks for waiting.
[07:35] Sano
Wait, that voice...
SIGN Vacant
[07:38] Yanagida

[07:40] Sano
Geh! Yanagida!
SIGN Gida
[07:41] Yanagida
I work as a taxi during
summer break to make money.
[07:45] Yanagida
I'll take you anywhere in
the country for 500 yen!
[07:47] Yanagida
I can get you to the school
from here in five minutes.
[07:49] Haruki
But we'd die if you flew that fast.
[07:52] Yanagida
Don't worry. These seats have youkai magic
cast on them. They're super efficient.
[07:56] Sano
Actually, Yanagida,
[07:58] Sano
why don't you stop making medicine
and make this your real job?
[08:01] Yanagida
But that'd be so dull that there'd
be no excitement in my life.
[08:03] Yanagida
Messing up making medicine and almost
blowing up the school is a good balance.
[08:08] Haruki
I mean, that might work for you,
but it doesn't work for us.
[08:11] Yanagida
Here we go!
[08:21] Haruaki
I can't believe it! How could I forget
my Super Cute Uniform Encyclopedia?
[08:25] Haruaki
Now, then. I'll have
Yanagida-kun take me back...
[08:28] Haruaki
Oh, I know! While I'm here...
SIGN Youkai Bookstore
[08:35] Sano
I knew you'd show up.
[08:38] Haruaki
And I figured you were expecting me.
[08:41] Haruaki
Working at a used book store is pretty fancy.
[08:44] Sano
Well, I'm basically just looking after
the shop since no one comes by.
[08:48] Haruaki
Huh... So you're here by yourself?
[08:51] Sano
The old lady who owns the place is out right
now, and the other employee here is...
[08:55] Tenmaru
Oh? Well, if it isn't Abe-sensei.
[08:58] Haruaki
K-Karasuma-kun?!
[09:00] Sano
You actually know Karasuma-kun?
[09:03] Haruaki
You know! He's one of the
members of the karasu tengu
[09:05] Haruaki
that tanukinapped Maizuka-kun the other day.
[09:08] Sano
What? You tanukinapped Mame?!
[09:10] Tenmaru
Now, I'm just an honest young
man working at this bookstore.
[09:14] Haruaki
This is what you should've
been doing in the first place.
[09:16] Tenmaru
But that's so boring.
[09:18] Tenmaru
We're the best when we're doing evil deeds.
[09:22] Yanagida
It's a good balance.
[09:23] Haruaki/Sano
He's saying the same thing as Yanagida-kun.

Dude, the quality's amazing on this thing!
[09:59] Sano
As you can see, he's a hardcore

[10:04] Haruaki
Sorry, you guys aren't that alike after all.
[10:07] Haruaki
Okay, I'm gonna go look at some books.
[10:09] Sano
Sure. Find a good one and
contribute to the sales here.
[10:13] Haruaki
I don't even know where to start
when there's this many...
[10:20] Haruaki
I feel like this book is calling to me...
[10:22] Honda
Ah, you've got a good eye, sir.
[10:25] Haruaki
Whoa!
[10:26] Haruaki
I guess there's another employee here!
[10:28] Honda
That one's got a neat trick to it.
I highly recommend it.
[10:31] Honda
Perhaps it's because it's not finished,
but no one else will read it.
[10:34] Haruaki
Huh?
[10:36] Honda
But it's really interesting, and the
reader can supply their own ending.
[10:40] Haruaki
I didn't know that was a thing!
I guess I'll read it, then.

"It happened on a rainy day.
[10:48] Haruaki
While I was feeling a bit listless
from the dull atmosphere,
[10:51] Haruaki
I continued my shift as an
employee at a bookstore."
[10:54] Haruaki
I guess this book stars a bookstore employee.
Just like Sano-kun and Karasuma-kun.
[10:59] Haruaki
"Then, suddenly, thunder crashed
along with some other noise."
SIGN Crash
[11:07] Sano
Thunder and lightning?
[11:08] Sano
That sounded super close.
[11:10] Tenmaru
It was sunny just moments ago.
SIGN Youkai Bookstore
[11:12] Tenmaru
Oh, it's starting to rain, too.
[11:15] Haruaki
That startled me! Anyway,
let's read more of the book.
[11:19] Haruaki
"That day, the owner was out,
[11:22] Haruaki
and my coworker So-and-So-san
and I had nothing to do."
[11:27] Haruaki
"So-and-So-san"?
[11:29] Haruaki
"Fill this in with the name of a
human or youkai around you."
[11:32] Haruaki
But of course!
[11:33] Haruaki
Then I'll read this as Sano-kun, the protagonist,
with Karasuma-kun as his coworker.
SIGN So-and-So-san
SIGN Shop Employee
"Me"
SIGN Karasuma-kun
[11:41] Haruki
Hey! The name changed!
[11:43] Haruki
This must be the neat trick that
employee was talking about!
[11:48] Haruki
The youkai author must've cast
some sort of youkai magic on it.
SIGN Chills
[11:54] Sano
What the... I suddenly felt a chill...
[11:57] Tenmaru
My body also feels heavy suddenly...
[12:01] Sano
It's raining, but I'm going
out for some fresh air.
[12:06] Sano
The door won't open...
[12:08] Tenmaru
Maybe it's locked.
[12:10] Sano
No, it's not...
[12:13] Haruaki
What's wrong, you two?
[12:15] Tenmaru
The door won't open.
[12:17] Haruaki
The door?
[12:19] Haruaki
I-It couldn't be...
[12:22] Haruaki
"I suddenly felt a chill.
[12:24] Haruaki
Apparently, Karasuma-kun
felt something similar,
[12:27] Haruaki
and the entrance door was tightly shut."
[12:29] Haruaki
N-Next...
[12:31] Haruaki
"And then, books suddenly fell
onto Karasuma-kun's head."
[12:39] Tenmaru
Ow... What the heck? A book
suddenly fell on my head...
[12:44] Sano
Did they fall from the bookshelf?

[12:59] Sano and Tenmaru
So you're saying...
[13:01] Sano
...that we're now the characters in this book?
[13:04] Haruaki
Apparently so...
[13:05] Sano
You bastard...
[13:07] Sano
How dare you drag us into
something this nonsensical?
[13:10] Haruaki
Right... I'm willing to
accept any punishment.
[13:13] Tenmaru
More importantly,
[13:14] Tenmaru
Abe-sensei said some male employee
recommended this book to him...
[13:18] Tenmaru
but Sano-senpai and I are
the only ones working today.
[13:21] Haruaki
Huh?
[13:22] Haruaki
No, there was another one!
[13:23] Haruaki
Maybe he was a customer...
[13:25] Tenmaru
You're the only customer
right now, Abe-sensei.
[13:27] Haruaki
Huh?
[13:28] Sano
Maybe your sixth sense kicked in.
[13:31] Haruaki
What?! He was a ghost?!
[13:34] Haruaki
C-Could it be that...
[13:36] Haruaki
He's a past victim of this book,
and he's trying to gain more dead buddies?!
[13:40] Tenmaru
We can't go outside, so apparently
Sano-senpai and I are being held hostage
[13:45] Tenmaru
by this book until Abe-sensei
finishes reading this book.
[13:50] Haruaki
Th-Then I'll continue reading, so be careful.
[13:53] Both
Gulp.
[13:55] Both
Um... "Meanwhile, near the
store, lightning crashed and—"
[14:00] Haruaki
"They were surrounded in darkness.
It seems the power went out."
[14:04] Sano
Wait, why is it so dark
in the middle of the day?
[14:07] Haruaki
One sec. My phone's in my pocket...
[14:10] Haruaki
What's that sound?
[14:13] All
What?!
[14:15] Haruaki
K-Karasuma-kun!
[14:18] Haruaki
K-Karasuma-kun?
[14:22] Haruaki
"After taking out a light from my
pocket, I nervously shone it around.
[14:26] Haruaki
My coworker, Karasuma-kun, had collapsed.
[14:29] Haruaki
I panicked and called out to him,
but there was no response.
[14:33] Haruaki
That's right...
[14:34] Haruaki
The Karasuma-kun that was laying there...
[14:37] Haruaki
was dead."
[14:41] Sano
Karasuma-kun!
[14:44] Sano
It's no use...
SIGN Silence...
[14:46] Sano
His heart's stopped.
[14:48] Haruaki
O-Oh, no...
[14:51] Haruaki
D-Damn it! I'll never accept a book
that messes with its readers like this!
[14:57] Haruaki
"Or so I thought, but I had just imagined it."
[15:01] Sano
Karasuma-kun!
[15:02] Haruaki
Thank goodness! He came back to life!
[15:05] Tenmaru
That startled me... I was being
forced to swim in a lake of blood...
[15:09] Sano
Hey, look. The text in the book is changing.
[15:12] Tenmaru
Apparently, the story progression changes
depending on what's written in the book.
[15:17] Sano
Then why don't we just end it right now?
[15:20] Haruaki
Oh, right!
[15:23] Haruaki
Huh? It's no use.
[15:25] Haruaki
I'm trying to write "the end,"
but the pencil won't move.
[15:29] Haruaki
Maybe we need to at least
follow some of the story...
[15:33] Tenmaru
I guess the only path is for Sensei to read on
[15:36] Tenmaru
and pencil in some things to
lead us to a happy ending.
[15:40] Haruaki
That's a huge responsibility...
[15:43] Haruaki
"It looks like we're saved.
[15:46] Haruaki
And then, the regular
So-and-So-san showed up.
[15:49] Haruaki
It was raining hard outside,
and they came in to get out of the rain."
[15:53] Haruaki
Another character just showed up!
[15:56] Sano
Make it someone who can handle something bad!
[15:58] Haruaki
What?! I can't pick!
[16:01] Haruaki
I mean, my students and the mandragoras
are out of the question...
[16:03] Haruaki
I don't want to involve my family...
[16:05] Haruaki
Well, the teachers...
[16:07] Haruaki
Er, no. They'd be scary later.
[16:11] Tenmaru
In that case, I have the perfect candidate.
[16:17] Bonmaru
I'm coming in to get out of the rain for a bit.
[16:21] Bonmaru
Wait...
[16:22] Bonmaru
Ten-chan and that one brat from before.
[16:25] Haruaki
I'm apologizing in advance.
I'm really sorry about this.
[16:28] Tenmaru
I mean, it won't be a big deal if he dies.
[16:31] Bonmaru
That's one hell of a greeting.
[16:37] Bonmaru
More importantly, what's going on here?

Anyway, as long as Abe-sensei rewrites the
story before something really bad happens...
[16:52] Haruaki
Y-Yeah, you're right.
[16:56] Sano
That hurt!
[16:57] Bonmaru
Hey! What're you doin', Ten-chan?
[17:00] Tenmaru
I'm not sure. My body's moving on its own.
[17:02] Bonmaru
Hey, now. This isn't going to turn into
a murder case or something, is it?
[17:08] Haruaki
No! Don't do anything rash!
[17:11] Haruaki
"Karasuma-kun slowly grabbed onto
my clothes and then XXXXX... Oh!"
[17:19] Bonmaru
Th-This is an...

[17:24] Tenmaru
Wait, does that mean Sano-senpai and I—

Um, um...
[17:36] Bonmaru
Hey! Hurry up and write something!

[17:40] Haruaki
"Bonmaru-san fantasized that whole thing!"
[17:43] Bonmaru
What?!
[17:45] Bonmaru
Oh, God! Lewd scenes of these
two are filling my brain!
[17:52] Haruaki
At this rate, they're not
going to mentally survive!

Man, that home run was so cool!

I wish I could bat like that!
[18:23] Akibe
Nice home run!
[18:24] Oota
Huh? I think I might've
hit something just now...
[18:28] Haruaki
"Oota-kun hit it back."
[18:31] Tenmaru
"Poisonous plants started
growing in the yard."
[18:33] Haruki
"Coincidentally... it happened right
where Yanagida-kun was taking a break."

Wow... It's been my dream ever

[19:28] Takahashi
I'm so curious...
[19:30] Takahashi
I wonder if you have blood types.
[19:33] Takahashi
What color is it?
[19:35] Takahashi
Body temperature?
[19:35] Takahashi
What shapes are its organs?
[19:38] Takahashi
What kinds do you have?

So, what are you going to do next?
[20:02] Haruaki
"And so, the cursed book sucked
in everyone around it."
[20:06] All
Huh?
[20:08] Haruaki
"And then they became a part of the cast of
characters to forever entertain readers."
[20:12] All
Huh?

Wha—

What the hell is this?!

Then how about this?!
[20:26] Haruaki
"But the book fell to Haruaki
Abe's power to exorcise demons!"
[20:38] Sano
It's not over yet! End that book!
[20:41] Haruaki
"And so, the book's curse was lifted!
[20:44] Haruaki
And everyone lived happily ever after!
[20:47] Haruaki
The end!"
[20:56] Tenmaru
We can take this to mean the

SIGN 1915-1945
SIGN Born in Tokyo
SIGN Though he spent his life as a human,
he was rumored to have supernatural
powers. He never got noticed as an
author while he was alive, and his
dream to have his work published
never came true, but after his death,
a youkai publishing editorial
department found a safe from his
home that burnt down and...
[21:06] Haruaki
This person...
[21:08] Haruaki
He's the employee who
suggested this book to me!
[21:11] Sano
So it was the author's ghost...
[21:14] Tenmaru
Apparently he passed away a long time ago.
[21:16] Haruaki
So he really was a ghost.
[21:19] Tenmaru
Maybe he couldn't pass on because
his book was incomplete,
[21:24] Tenmaru
so he relied on you since
you have a strong sixth sense.
[21:28] Haruaki
I see.
[21:30] Haruaki
It ended up a really weird story,
[21:32] Haruaki
but if the author and this book are now
able to rest in peace, it's worth it.
[21:37] Bonmaru
Yeah.
[21:38] Tenmaru
Yup.
[21:41] Haruaki
If everything I wrote came true,
[21:43] Haruaki
I should've written things that
would've benefited us more!
[21:47] Bonmaru
Yeah!
[21:48] Haruaki
Like conveniently being buried in uniforms!
[21:50] Bonmaru
Or conveniently becoming rich!
[21:52] Tenmaru
Actually, I think you might still make it!
[21:54] Tenmaru
And then please conveniently create a
girlfriend I can lose my virginity to!
[21:59] Sano
Seriously...
