[00:00] (Flashback) J
    Hayakawa, I've been looking for you.
[00:03] (Flashback) J
    Tell me why we're here right now!
[00:07] (Flashback) Haya
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[00:09] (Flashback) J
    Then die!
[00:12] (Flashback) J
    Wha—
[00:15] (Flashback) J
    H-Hand over... Tenna's... pendant...
[00:20] (Flashback) Haya
    You don't understand anything.
[00:30] (Flashback) J
    I'm not going to thank you.
[00:33] (Flashback) J
    You couldn't protect Tenna.
[00:35] (Flashback) Haya
    Keep your head up, J.
[00:37] (Flashback) Haya
    Think about Tenna-sama's feelings.
[00:40] (Flashback) J
    What's that supposed to mean?
[00:42] (Flashback) J
    Tell me, Tenna...
[00:49] (Flashback) J
    This is...

[02:32] hika
    You're all as beautiful as ever today.
[02:39] Haru
    That's pretty sudden.
[02:41] J
    The numbers that appeared
    from the bracelet...
[02:41] Hotaru
    Is it going to start right away?
[02:43] Ren
    Since it's an official notice,
    I believe it'll take effect immediately.
[02:44] J
    What do they mean?
[02:48] Haru
    What do you want to do, J?
[02:51] Haru
    J!
[02:53] J
    What?
[02:54] Haru
    Weren't you listening?
[02:56] Haru
    Apparently, they're destroying this mansion.
[02:58] J
    What?
[03:00] Ren
    The board of directors just
    made an announcement.
[03:03] Ren
    This mansion is deteriorating rapidly,
[03:06] Ren
    so it could be in danger of collapsing.
[03:08] Hotaru
    Really?
[03:10] Haru
    Well, it is old...
[03:12] Ren
    Furthermore, there are many
    rooms that aren't in use,
[03:15] Ren
    and the fact that cleanliness hasn't
    been maintained is a problem.
[03:18] Ren
    So they're saying they want
    to destroy this building
[03:21] Ren
    and build a new one in its place.
[03:23] Hotaru
    Oh, so we're getting a new one?
[03:26] Haru
    So that means we'll get a brand
    new student council room, too?
[03:30] Ren
    I believe so.
[03:32] Hotaru
    I see...
[03:33] Haru
    I guess it's cool, then.
[03:35] Hotaru
    Yay! I agree!
[03:37] J
    I disagree.
[03:38] All
    Huh?
[03:39] Haru
    But we're getting a new building.
[03:41] Hotaru
    Yeah! We might even get
    the latest furnishings!
[03:44] J
    I can't let them do anything to this building.
[03:47] J
    I'm going to talk to the headmaster.
[03:55] Ren
    He's going to talk to the
    headmaster in person?
[03:58] Hotaru
    He must really like this place.
[04:03] J
    What's the meaning of this?
[04:05] J
    Why is there suddenly talk
    of rebuilding the mansion?
[04:08] Miku
    This came straight from the chairman himself.
[04:10] Miku
    Apparently, the building itself is rather old,
[04:13] Miku
    so it could start collapsing at any time.
[04:17] Miku
    They're concerned about safety.
[04:19] J
    Yes, but that place is—
[04:21] Miku
    I know.
[04:23] Miku
    That place is where your family once lived.
[04:27] Miku
    I understand how you feel.
[04:31] Miku
    But, J, you're living in the present now.
[04:35] Miku
    Isn't this a great opportunity to forget
    about the past and live for today?
[04:42] Miku
    There isn't much more time.
[04:44] Miku
    If there's still something you need to do,
    you should do it as soon as possible.
[04:54] Hotaru
    It's pretty rare for J-senpai to
    oppose something that strongly.
[04:59] Ren
    Yes. It appears that this mansion
    is very important to J-san,
[05:05] Ren
    more than it is to any of us.
[05:07] Haru
    I feel bad for calling it old.
[05:09] Hotaru
    But it is, though.
    It's really creepy at night.
[05:13] Ren
    I can also feel an eerie aura all over
    the mansion, like some ancient grudge.
[05:18] Haru
    A grudge, huh?
[05:21] Haru
    Hey, maybe we can make use of that.
[05:24] Hotaru
    Use?
[05:25] Ren
    How so?
[05:26] Haru
    That's what we're about to figure out.
[05:29] Haru
    Let's give it our all.
[05:35] J
    Mikuni-san just doesn't understand.
[05:37] J
    The only thing in my heart, even now,
    is the time that I spent with Tenna.
[05:43] J
    If the mansion is destroyed, I'll lose that.
[05:48] J
    What should I do?
[05:51] Haru
    J.
[05:54] J
    What is it?
[05:56] Haru
    We have an idea.
[05:58] J
    An idea?
[06:00] Hotaru
    This mansion has stood on the Koyomi
    Academy grounds since ancient times,
[06:04] Hotaru
    and there is an eerie legend attached to it.
[06:10] Hotaru
    Terrifying ghosts haunt the mansion
    and go on a rampage every night.
[06:16] Hotaru
    If the mansion is destroyed,
    the ghosts will possess people,
[06:21] Hotaru
    and the academy will become cursed.
[06:30] Hotaru
    That's the rumor we're going to spread!
[06:32] Hotaru
    We call it "Operation: The Ghost
    That Haunts the Mansion!"
[06:35] J
    The mansion's not haunted.
[06:38] Hotaru
    Don't worry. It's just a rumor.
[06:41] Hotaru
    If that rumor spreads through the school
    and the students start freaking out,
[06:44] Hotaru
    it'll make it hard for the chairman
    and headmaster to destroy it.
[06:49] Ren
    I heard that the chairman is inclined
    to believe unscientific things
[06:53] Ren
    such as fortune-telling and superstitions.
[06:55] Ren
    I think it's worth a try.
[06:58] J
    So you thought of becoming
    the ghosts yourselves?
[07:03] Hotaru
    Precisely!
[07:06] Hotaru
    It's a great plan, right?
[07:07] Ren
    Rather than waiting for
    ghosts that don't exist,
[07:10] Ren
    it'd be more effective to
    create some of our own.
[07:14] Haru
    But... how are we going to spread this rumor?
[07:19] J
    Yeah... Even if we act as the ghosts here,
[07:23] J
    it's not likely anyone will see us.
[07:25] Hotaru
    Don't worry. Ren thought of a plan.
[07:30] Ren
    Rumors don't travel very well when
    you try to spread them on your own.
[07:35] Ren
    You need to have people with a talent
    for spreading them witness it,
[07:38] Ren
    and wait for them to spread them for you.
[07:42] J
    A talent for spreading rumors?
[07:45] Ren
    I know just who we need for the job.
[07:55] Holmes
    I never would've thought of
    this mansion as haunted...
[07:57] Wats
    We received an anonymous tip
    that ghosts appear here.
[08:01] Wats
    Let's make it the front page
    story for the next issue.
[08:03] Holmes
    I see. Because stories about
    animals and ghosts always do well.
[08:08] Wats
    We can expect an increase
    in readers, as well.
[08:10] Holmes
    I already smell a case.
[08:14] Holmes
    Keep your eyes peeled, Watson-kun.
[08:17] Wats
    You got it, Holmes.
[08:21] Ren
    It appears the two of them have infiltrated
    the mansion according to plan.
[08:24] Ren
    Let's take turns scaring them
    once they get upstairs.
[08:28] Ren
    Are you ready?
[08:29] Hotaru
    Wait. Haruto-senpai's not back yet.
[08:32] Ren
    Where could he have gone?
[08:34] J
    Who knows?
[08:35] Ren
    We don't have time to waste.
[08:37] Ren
    Let's take our positions.
[08:39] Hotaru
    Okay.
[08:40] J
    Got it.
[08:50] Haru
    Oh, it's just me. I scared myself.
[08:54] Haru
    I need to hurry back.
[08:59] Haru
    I really hate the dark...
[09:10] Haru
    Hey... You guys here?
[09:15] Haru
    Hey!
[09:41] Ren
    A curse on you... A curse on you...
[09:55] Holmes
    What was that scream?
[09:56] Watson
    It came from upstairs.
[09:57] Watson
    It almost sounded like some monster.
[09:59] Holmes
    Ghosts and monsters, eh?
    Supernatural cases are so much fun!
[10:03] Holmes
    Let's hurry!
[10:04] Watson
    Yeah.
[10:08] Hotaru
    Oh, it's just Haruto-senpai.
[10:10] Ren
    We thought you were Holmes and Watson.
[10:12] Ren
    Come to think of it, you don't
    like ghosts, do you, Haruto-san?
[10:16] Haru
    A-Anyone w-would be s-scared if
    y-you just popped out of nowhere!
[10:20] Haru
    Wh-Why are you scaring me?!
    I-I thought you were actually ghosts!
[10:25] J
    What are you guys doing?
[10:27] J
    They're heading up here.
[10:28] Hotaru
    Oh, whoops.
[10:30] Ren
    Let's hurry back to our stations.
[10:31] Haru
    R-Right...
[10:33] Haru
    Then I'll get ready, t—
[10:59] Hotaru
    Shh!
[11:00] Ren
    You'll give us away! Please be quiet!
[11:07] J
    What's that noise?
[11:09] Ren
    Hotaru, did you rig up something else?
[11:11] Hotaru
    No, it wasn't me.
[11:13] Haru
    What?
[11:22] Drac
    Hey!
[11:29] Drac
    You're too noisy, you jerks.
    I just found the best sleeping spot, too...
[11:34] Hotaru
    Oh, it's just Dracula-san.
[11:36] Ren
    Why must you cause so much trouble?
[11:38] Drac
    What?!
[11:40] Drac
    Are you listening to me?! Hey!
[11:42] J
    Haruto!
[11:49] Wats
    Was that a will-o'-the-wisp?
[11:50] Holmes
    Hold it!
[11:52] Hotaru
    Hey!
[11:53] Ren
    Where are you going?
[12:11] J
    What are you doing?
[12:17] Haru
    Th-Thanks...
[12:23] Hotaru
    Thank goodness.
[12:24] Ren
    When did you get over here?
[12:26] Ren
    Haruto-san, you shouldn't run in the dark.
[12:29] Haru
    My bad.
[12:30] J
    Honestly...
[12:32] Holmes
    What's going on here?
[12:46] Watson
    I can't believe they were
    trying to spread rumors.
[12:49] Watson
    Newspapers rely on truth.
[12:52] Watson
    We won't be able to use this as an article.
[12:54] Holmes
    Seriously. But it's strange...
[12:57] Holmes
    I still smell a case there.
[13:09] Haru
    Sorry... It's all my fault.
[13:11] Hotaru
    You couldn't help it. We were
    just too convincing as ghosts.
[13:16] Ren
    Sorry we couldn't help out, J-san.
[13:19] J
    No, it's fine.
[13:22] J
    You went through all this trouble for me.
[13:24] J
    I appreciate the thought.
[13:26] Hotaru
    J-senpai...
[13:28] J
    I'll talk to the headmaster about
    the mansion again tomorrow.
[13:33] J
    You don't need to worry about it anymore.
[13:35] Hotaru
    Okay.
[13:52] J
    I can't involve them in
    this matter any further.
[13:55] J
    But it's true that there are still
    so many things I don't know.
[14:01] J
    I guess I'll try something
    a bit more forceful...
[14:20] J
    Yes, thank you.
[14:23] J
    I apologize for asking for so much,
    but I'll feel more at ease if you both come.
[14:27] J
    Goodbye.
[14:44] Watson
    What's wrong?
[14:45] Holmes
    This is the picture you took
    at the mansion yesterday.
[14:48] Wats
    Is there an actual ghost in the picture?
[14:50] Holmes
    Perhaps...
[14:52] Holmes
    Look at the floor.
[14:54] Watson
    The floor?
[14:55] Holmes
    See the student council
    president's footprints?
[14:57] Holmes
    There's a huge gap in the bloody footprints.
[15:01] Watson
    You're right.
[15:02] Holmes
    I couldn't really see because it was so dark,
[15:05] Holmes
    but the other footprints seem to be
    from when he saved Hizakura Haruto.
[15:08] Watson
    What? Those footprints are weird,
    even if they're from someone jumping.
[15:12] Watson
    It's almost as though he
    jumped through space...
[15:14] Holmes
    Do you remember when he saved that
    female student at the event the other day?
[15:22] Holmes
    He made some peculiar movements then, too.
[15:25] Wats
    Yeah, you mentioned that.
[15:27] Holmes
    We should look into
    this matter a little more.
[15:31] Haru
    One of the reasons they want to demolish
    this place is because it's so dirty.
[15:35] Haru
    If we can make this place spotless,
    I'm sure the headmaster will reconsider.
[15:40] Hotaru
    True.
[15:41] Ren
    Good point.
[15:43] Drac
    Why do I have to help, too?
[15:45] Haru
    You don't want to lose the place
    where you sleep, do you?
[15:48] Haru
    All right. "Operation: Let's
    Make the Mansion Spotless."
[15:52] Haru
    Let's do this.
[15:55] Akira
    I can't believe they canceled without warning.
[15:58] Haya
    It is truly unfortunate,
    but at least they paid us.
[16:03] Akira
    But you went through the trouble
    of picking out some great coffee.
[16:10] Akira
    Pi-chan, what's wrong?!
[16:13] Haya
    Sir, this...
[16:15] Akira
    What happened?
[16:20] Akira
    It can't be...
[16:23] Akira
    Were we robbed?!
[16:29] Akira
    They didn't take any money.
    I guess that's not what they were after.
[16:34] Haya
    It appears they were looking for something.
[16:37] Akira
    What could it be?
[16:39] Akira
    Oh! It couldn't be my precious collection
    of carved wooden bears, could it?!
[16:45] Haya
    Precious?
[16:47] Haya
    It couldn't be...
[17:04] J
    I see. So that's where you were hiding it.
[17:13] Haya
    You set me up, J!
[17:15] J
    I thought it was strange when
    I couldn't find it anywhere in the shop,
[17:19] J
    but I'm glad I waited around.
[17:21] J
    You were kind enough to show me
    exactly where the pendant was.
[17:25] Haya
    You must've ordered the coffee, too...
    In order to lure us outside.
[17:30] J
    This is what I was after.
    I'll be taking Tenna's pendant.
[17:36] Haya
    Wait!
[17:39] Holmes
    Jinguji Koma... Transferred
    into the school as a second-year.
[17:44] Holmes
    There's nothing suspicious about that, but...
[17:48] Holmes
    This date...
[17:52] Holmes
    It's the same date as the
    "Plasma in the Sky" incident...
[17:59] Holmes
    His transfer papers were
    completed right after.
[18:01] Holmes
    Is it just a coincidence?
[18:26] J
    Okay... This will lead me to Tenna.
[18:44] J
    Why?!
[18:46] J
    Are you telling me this isn't enough?!
[18:58] J
    Answer me, please...
[19:02] J
    Tenna...
[19:21] Holmes
    The "Plasma in the Sky" incident...
    It was snowing that day.
[19:25] Holmes
    I smelled a case, so we headed
    to the location, and...
[19:28] Holmes
    There were tire tracks, and they
    belonged to Headmaster Mikuni's car.
[19:34] Holmes
    He stopped his car here and let someone in.
[19:38] Holmes
    If that person was J...
[19:43] Holmes
    The headmaster and J...
    There must be some secret between them.
[20:00] J
    Who's there?!
[20:09] J
    Wha—
[20:10] J
    You bastard!
[20:12] J
    Wait!
[20:20] J
    He's fast... In that case...
[20:46] Haya
    That's a Butler?!
[21:05] J
    Show yourself!
[21:15] J
    Wait!
[21:20] J
    The mansion!
[21:21] Hotaru
    Haruto-senpai!
[21:23] Drac
    Hey! Where are you?!
[21:26] J
    What's wrong?
[21:28] Ren
    J-san! The pillar suddenly broke and...
[21:33] J
    No... Haruto!
[21:53] J
    Haruto!
[21:55] J
    Haruto!
