[01:39] Hanako     Um... [01:41] Hanako     You say that like you'd say "Want to     read a fashion magazine together?" [01:44] Hanako     But that's not a fashion magazine, is it? [01:46] Oka     You're right. [01:48] Oka     But it's one of the more     well-known magic books. [01:52] Hanako     Yeah, but magic books as a     whole aren't really mainstream. [01:57] Kasumi     How has your hunt for     club members been going? [02:00] Oka     No one, yet. [02:01] Hanako     Why did you end up on your     own all of a sudden, anyway? [02:04] Oka     Um... [02:05] Oka     Two graduated, one transferred,     and the last one got teleported. [02:11] Kasumi     She says it like she just faxed them. [02:13] Hanako     So two graduated and two transferred, right? [02:17] Oka     No, one got teleported. [02:19] Hanako     It's okay, that's what I heard. [02:22] Kasumi     But teleported where? [02:24] Oka     Well... [02:25] Oka     She's been saying she wanted to go, so possibly to the River Styx, [02:30] Oka     which would take her to Hades. [02:33] Kasumi     She says it like she went to visit Skytree. [02:36] Hanako     So what's the name of this     person that got teleported? [02:39] Oka     Agrippa. [02:40] Hanako     No, not her nickname, her real name. [02:42] Oka     Mato Aguri. [02:44] Hanako     All right. [02:45] Hanako     Let's head to the faculty room. [02:47] Kasumi     Yeah. [02:48] Oka     Wh-Why? [02:49] Hanako     Let's ask the teachers what happened to her. SIGN    Faculty Room [02:53] Sensei     Mato-san? [02:54] Hanako     Was there anyone with that name in our year? [02:58] Sensei     Um, hang on. [03:00] Sensei     Oh, there was, in Class 1. [03:02] Hanako     What happened to her? [03:05] Sensei     U-Um... [03:07] Sensei     It looks like she's ill. [03:13] Oka     What do you mean by that? [03:14] Oka     Ill? [03:15] Oka     I never heard about this! [03:18] Sensei     Y-Yeah? [03:22] Oka     Where is she? [03:24] Oka     Which hospital is she at? [03:27] Sensei     If she hasn't told you herself,     I'm not sure I should. [03:33] Sensei     But hey, don't worry too much. [03:37] Sensei     She'll be all better and     back at school soon enough. [03:40] Sensei     You can see her then. [03:47] Hanako     Th-Thank you, Sensei. SIGN    Pastimers Club [03:54] Olivia     Oka-san, are you okay? [04:00] Kasumi     Did Mato-san seem ill at all? [04:04] Oka     I can't believe I didn't notice, but     just before she got teleported... [04:11] (Flashback) Noto     Hey, have you read Heptaméron? [04:14] (Flashback) Oka     I have. [04:15] (Flashback) Noto     I heard it was written by Pietro d'Abano,     but apparently that's BS. [04:20] (Flashback) Oka     Yeah, Pietro d'Abano is      from the 13th century, [04:23] (Flashback) Oka     and Heptaméron is supposed to have     been written in the late 16th century. [04:27] (Flashback) Noto     I know. [04:29] (Flashback) Noto     But... [04:33] (Flashback) Noto     Hang on, I'm going to lie down for a bit. [04:39] (Flashback) Oka     Are you sick? [04:42] (Flashback) Noto     No, not at all. [04:44] (Flashback) Noto     I'm just tired from P.E. again. [04:47] (Flashback) Oka     Okay. [04:52] (Flashback) Noto     Hey... [04:53] (Flashback) Noto     I'm secretly making the Fifth     Pentacle of the Sun right now. [05:01] (Flashback) Noto     So if I suddenly vanish one day, [05:04] (Flashback) Noto     just think of it as being because     my transportation magic worked. [05:11] (Flashback) Oka     You're always so ambitious, Agrippa. [05:18] (Flashback) Oka     But please don't vanish on me. [05:24] Oka     That happened shortly before she went away. [05:30] Oka     Why didn't I notice what was happening? [05:41] Olivia     Oka-san! [05:41] Olivia     What about magic? [05:43] Olivia     Is there any magic that'll     help her get better? [05:46] Oka     That stuff doesn't really work. [05:49] Olivia     Wait! [05:50] Olivia     Why are you suddenly being so realistic? [05:52] Olivia     You always have so much     blind faith in the occult. [05:54] Olivia     Please don't come to your senses now. [05:59] Oka     Olivia-san... [06:02] Oka     Do you think someone even at my     level could make a difference? [06:07] Olivia     You would! [06:08] Olivia     It would definitely work! [06:10] Hanako     All right, I'm going to do this magic, too! [06:13] Kasumi     I-I'll help, too. [06:18] Hanako     So what's this magic we're doing? [06:20] Oka     Let's see... [06:21] Oka     How about this doll magic from New Orleans? [06:25] Oka     The voodoo doll. [06:28] Oka     First, fasten two pieces     of wood into a cross. [06:31] Oka     Next, wind it up in string, and     add to it the person's likeness. [06:39] Kasumi     I can't tell how that looks     any different from Oka-san. [06:42] Oka     Next, we prepare marking pins. [06:46] Oka     We use different colored marking     pins depending on what we're doing. [06:50] Oka     We're trying to rid her of the suffering     that is illness, so we use black. [06:56] Oka     And I want to stab the part where she's ill,     and chant, "Suffering, be gone," but... [07:06] Oka     But... [07:09] Oka     Where am I supposed to stab her? [07:13] Oka     Where was Agrippa ill? [07:19] Oka     Why didn't she tell me anything? [07:27] Olivia     Let's stab her all over, then. [07:29] Olivia     We don't have to know where she's sick     if we stab her all over and chant, [07:32] Olivia     "Get better all over." [07:33] Oka     Y-You're right. [07:36] Oka     Get better, Agrippa. [07:40] Oka     Get better... [07:42] Oka     Get better... [07:47] Kasumi     Th-That looks brutal. [07:49] Oka     I hope she gets better now. [07:52] Oka     Oh, I'll go see if there're     more charms that'll work. [07:56] Olivia     Okay. [07:57] Oka     Thank you, Pastimers Club. [08:01] Oka     I shall meet Agrippa again. [08:08] Sensei     Sorry I'm late. [08:10] Sensei     Huh, what were you up to? [08:11] Kasumi     We were praying with a voodoo     doll for Mato-san to get better. [08:15] Sensei     Huh. [08:15] Sensei     Did you stab her butt, too, then? [08:18] Hanako     No, we didn't. Why? [08:20] Sensei     Oh, really? [08:21] Sensei     No, I didn't mean anything by that. [08:23] Sensei     Never mind. [08:25] Sensei     I thought I shouldn't tell them, since     she's getting surgery for hemorrhoids, [08:28] Sensei     but I hope I'm making the right decision. [08:32] Narrator     A week later, they were     reunited with Agrippa. SIGN    Asobi Asobase SIGN    Studying for Exams [08:41] Sensei     I'm handing out the results     for the first term exams. [08:44] Sensei     Ando-san. [08:45] Person     Yes. [08:46] Sensei     Ito-san. [08:47] Person     Yes. [08:47] Hanako     Cower before me, pitiful masses. [08:51] Hanako     Behold my true potential. [08:53] Hanako     I've been studying diligently     this whole time, [08:55] Hanako     and then for the last two     weeks before the exam, [08:56] Hanako     I went on just three hours of sleep a day. [08:58] Hanako     The result? An average grade over five     subjects and secondary courses of 98.2. [09:03] Hanako     Shoot, I'm getting the chills,     picturing myself at the peak. [09:09] ---     I'm so turned on! [09:10] Sensei     Honda-san. [09:11] Hanako     Yes. SIGN    Total grade Average Year Ranking 884 98.2 2nd SIGN    Year Ranking 2nd [09:17] Person A     You got first again this     year, Misa-chan? Wow. [09:20] Misa     I'm awesome, right? [09:21] Person A     You're kidding... Weren't     you messing around a lot? [09:23] Misa     That's not true. [09:25] Misa     I was studying with my boyfriend. [09:30] N     And then what happened? SIGN    Pastimers Club [09:33] Hanako     Strange. [09:34] Hanako     Something's not right. [09:36] Hanako     I've been abstaining from fashion and     relationships to focus on my studies. [09:41] Hanako     From the looks of it, I spent a     lot more time studying than her. [09:46] Hanako     So why am I being outdone by a wretched     slut who doesn't take life seriously? [09:51] N     Please understand, audience, [09:53] N     that Hanako's thoughts have become     somewhat violent from the shock. [09:59] N     Hanako had trusted that results     were proportionate to effort. [10:04] N     She didn't want to believe in the possibility [10:09] N     that they had a difference     in innate intelligence, [10:12] N     and that she had lost because     she was not as gifted. [10:14] N     And sadder still, [10:18] N     the other two had bombed, and     were taking remedial classes. [10:23] Hanako     Being by myself is making me stew     in negative thoughts even more. [10:30] Hanako     Kasumi-san did pretty bad     on the English exam again. [10:35] Hanako     What kind of special skills     does it take to do so bad? [10:41] Hanako     You could easily pass by just memorizing     some words and example sentences. [10:48] Hanako     Although she is trying. [10:51] Hanako     Her efforts aren't quite     sticking to her brain. [10:54] Hanako     They're seeping out of her     ears and being converted [10:56] Hanako     into atmospheric nitrogen, I'm sure. [10:59] Hanako     As for Olivia... [11:02] Hanako     Why doesn't she ever study for anything? SIGN    Two weeks before the exams [11:09] (Flashback) Olivia     What're you up to, Hanako? [11:10] (Flashback) Hanako     The term exams are coming up. [11:12] (Flashback) Hanako     I thought I'd make good use of my time. [11:14] (Flashback) Olivia     From two weeks ahead? [11:16] (Flashback) Hanako     You'll be freaking out if you slack     off until a week before, Olivia. [11:22] (Flashback) Olivia     Why not just cram it all the night before? [11:24] (Flashback) Hanako     Cram it? [11:26] (Flashback) Hanako     I don't think you can, with all the     subjects that are on the term exams. [11:28] (Flashback) Olivia     That's not true. [11:30] (Flashback) Olivia     You just need to wing it so you don't fail. [11:33] Hanako     But you did fail! [11:37] Maeda     Hanako-sama, congratulations     on ranking second in the year. [11:40] Hanako     Don't suddenly pop up like that, damn it! [11:42] Maeda     But I was here the whole time. [11:43] Hanako     That's even freakier! [11:45] Hanako     Uh... [11:46] Hanako     How much did you hear? [11:48] Maeda     Huh? [11:48] Maeda     Er, you were silent the whole time. [11:51] Hanako     O-Okay. [11:53] Maeda     But I did sense an aura     of "That girl in first [11:55] Maeda     isn't going to get away with making     it to the top canoodling with boys." [11:59] Hanako     Can't you be a little more tactful?! [12:01] Hanako     But I feel like you're winning     at life if you make first. [12:05] Hanako     How can I not get jealous? [12:07] Maeda     Hanako-sama, I disagree. [12:10] Maeda     You think you've already won or lost     at life at middle school? Hilarious! [12:15] Hanako     Are you cheering me up or making fun of me? [12:18] Maeda     But I'd taken notice of your distress, [12:20] Maeda     and have been working in     secret with your grandfather. [12:24] Hanako     With Grandpa? [12:25] Maeda     Yes. [12:25] Maeda     I'd spoken with him about it before. [12:28] (Flashback) Maeda     Hanako-sama seems to want a lover. [12:31] (Flashback) Grandpa     What? [12:32] (Flashback) Grandpa     Hana-chan does? [12:33] (Flashback) Grandpa     She doesn't even have all of her     pubic hair. She's too young. [12:38] (Flashback) Maeda     No, I'm quite sure she has     a full coat of pubic hair. [12:40] Hanako     I'm going to take both of you      to court for sexual harassment! [12:43] Maeda     And so the two of us built this together... [12:45] Maeda     The Honda family's home-built android, [12:47] Maeda     Eighteen Summer "You Have Such     Beautiful Fingers" Koichi-kun. [12:50] Hanako     Th-This reeks of despair. [12:53] Hanako     You don't need to bother. [12:54] Maeda     Hang on, he has voice functionality, too. [12:57] Android     Come on, this problem isn't even     that hard. You can do better. [13:03] Hanako     He's not bad. [13:04] Maeda     Yes. [13:05] Maeda     The two of us worked hard recording     the voices for you, Hanako-sama. [13:08] Hanako     You two recorded this voice?! [13:09] Maeda     Please, give it a try. [13:12] N     And then what happened? [13:17] Hanako     Th-This is creepier than I thought. [13:20] Android     Hey. [13:21] Android     You made a mistake. [13:22] Hanako     Right. [13:24] Hanako     Sorry. [13:25] Android     Wrong. [13:26] Hanako     Huh? [13:26] Android     You mean, "teehee." [13:28] Hanako     Holy shit, he's annoying! [13:30] Hanako     I don't think I need this. [13:32] Maeda     W-Wait, please! [13:33] Maeda     We made it based on simulations of     conversations that a maiden would enjoy. [13:36] Maeda     By our calculations, he's perfect! [13:37] Hanako     There's no way you and Grandpa could     have made a perfect simulation! [13:41] Hanako     Wait up. [13:42] Android     Hana-chan, has Aunt Flo come to visit? [13:45] Android     You sound vulgar, miss. [13:47] Hanako     You sound just like Grandpa     and it's vulgar as hell! [13:51] Hanako     I'm going to destroy you! [13:54] Maeda     Hanako-sama! [13:55] Olivia     You don't have remedial     classes tomorrow, Kasumi? [13:57] Kasumi     I don't. [13:58] Kasumi     And you got through all the     remedial classes, too, huh? [14:04] Kasumi     We were just gone for remedial classes... [14:07] Kasumi     ...and Hanako-san had killed a man! [14:11] Hanako     Wait, that's not it, you two! [14:12] Hanako     It's a doll! [14:14] Android     Hana-chan, how could you? [14:17] Kasumi     The decapitated head is talking! [14:19] Hanako     That's not what it is! SIGN    Asobi Asobase SIGN    A New Look [14:36] Olivia     So hot... [14:39] Olivia     I want to cut my hair.

[14:55] Hanako     Don't! [14:57] Hanako     Cutting your hair won't fix your B.O.! [15:02] Olivia     I just wanted to cut my     hair because it's hot. [15:07] Olivia     What did you just say? [15:15] Hanako     Sorry, I lost my memories. [15:17] Hanako     You shouldn't cut it yourself, though. [15:19] Hanako     You have to go to a stylist. [15:21] Olivia     I'll go if I mess up cutting it myself. [15:23] Hanako     Don't! [15:25] Kasumi     Sorry I'm late. [15:26] Kasumi     I stopped by the library. [15:27] Olivia     Let go! Let go! [15:29] Olivia     The scissors! [15:29] Hanako     Get back, I'll stab you! [15:31] Kasumi     Did you break up? [15:32] Olivia     Not at all. [15:33] Olivia     It's just so hot. [15:34] Kasumi     Oh, I see. [15:35] Kasumi     But you have such nice hair,     it'd be a shame to cut it. [15:39] Hanako     She's right. [15:39] Hanako     You have cute curly hair. [15:41] Hanako     Why don't you tie it in a     ponytail if it's too hot? [15:43] Olivia     It gets even more stuffy     inside with a ponytail. [15:46] Olivia     Aren't you hot, Hanako? [15:47] Hanako     I'm fine so far. [15:49] Olivia     Oh. [15:50] Hanako     So how much were you going to cut? [15:52] Olivia     Very short. [15:53] Kasumi     That's even more of a reason to     have a professional do it for you. [15:56] Hanako     Yeah. [15:57] Hanako     If you do it yourself and mess up, [15:59] Hanako     you'll seriously have no choice     but to shave it all off. [16:00] Olivia     I'll try cutting just a little, then. [16:03] Olivia     If I screw up, I'll go see a stylist. [16:15] Olivia     I'm sorry, I can't do it! [16:17] Olivia     Undo it, please! [16:18] Hanako     Nope, nope, nope!

[17:01] Olivia     You aren't trying to cheer me up, are you? [17:03] Olivia     You're trying to finish me off! [17:04] Kasumi     You could fix it by taking hair from     the back and using it as your bangs. [17:08] Olivia     L-Like this? [17:10] Kasumi     Y-Yeah. [17:10] Kasumi     And then cut it to the     same length as your bangs. [17:17] Olivia     I-Is it back to normal? [17:21] Kasumi     It isn't. [17:23] Olivia     Come on, you're killing me!

[19:06] Kasumi     Oh yeah, there's a game in Hokkaido [19:08] Kasumi     where you pull people out while     they're sitting like that. [19:11] Olivia     What's that? [19:12] Hanako     Oh yeah! [19:13] Hanako     Daikon pulling, right? [19:14] Olivia     Daikon? [19:14] Hanako     You pull the pullee like     they're a daikon root. [19:18] Hanako     This is how Maeda taught me when I was     little, so the rules might be a bit Maedafied. [19:23] Hanako     Okay, Kasumi-san and I will go first. [19:25] Hanako     You can watch. [19:26] Olivia     Okay. [19:27] Hanako     Kasumi-san's the daikon. [19:28] Hanako     If I pull Kasumi-san out     of this circle, I win.

[20:21] Olivia     What was that? I don't get it. [20:23] Hanako     I mean, it wouldn't be fun if     I showed you the whole thing, right? [20:26] Hanako     I have to leave the best part     for you to try yourself. [20:29] Kasumi     Hanako-san... [20:31] Kasumi     I'll be it this time. [20:33] Hanako     Y-Yeah. [20:34] Hanako     I feel bad. Sorry. [20:35] Hanako     Okay, Olivia and I are the daikon. [20:38] Olivia     Okay. [20:43] Kasumi     Daikon, takuan, buri     daikon, buri buri buri... [20:49] Olivia     Is that really necessary? [20:53] Hanako     We're moving fast! [20:55] Olivia     Hang in there, Hanako! [21:00] Kasumi     Hanako-san, you have to put more     strength in your lower back. [21:08] Kasumi     Olivia! I'm levitating! [21:10] Olivia     Hanako! [21:11] Olivia     Mommy! Mommy! [21:14] Olivia     Shoot. She's going to take me with her. [21:18] Olivia     Olivia! [21:20] Olivia     Why, Olivia? [21:22] Olivia     Why have you betrayed me? [21:24] Olivia     You're awful!

[21:45] Olivia     Things have gotten kind of awkward. [21:48] Kasumi     Nah, Hanako-san was just over-acting. [21:51] Hanako     You were totally into it, too, Kasumi-san. [21:53] Sensei     Sorry I'm late, guys. [21:55] Hanako     Sensei, let's play daikon pulling. [21:57] Sensei     Oh, that's the game where you     tug at each other's legs, right? [22:01] Sensei     I'm pretty good at holding on, you know. SIGN    Noo! [22:07] N     She was the first to get pulled out.
