SIGN    Episode 2
    "Spirit = Human"
[00:07] MOGURA
    Can you guess what came to me?
[00:11] SIGN
    Draft Notice
    Mogura Momoyuki
[00:13] MOGURA
    I'd been careless.
[00:15] MOGURA
    I should've thought about what would
    happen if I went to the battlefield.
[00:20] MOGURA
    It happened right after I bought my status
[00:22] MOGURA
    as an ordinary citizen with the money
    I saved up during the Showa era.
[00:26] MOGURA
    I must've been drunker on
    happiness than I realized.
[00:28] MOGURA
    At the time, I was glad to have passed
    my physical exam for conscription.
[00:32] MOGURA
    I felt like I'd been accepted.
[00:34] MOGURA
    Thinking about actually being shipped out
[00:37] MOGURA
    suddenly made me see my situation
    and returned me to my senses.
[00:41] YAEKO
    You couldn't say no?
[00:44] MOGURA
    That would've been tough for me.
[00:46] MOGURA
    First, it's tough to refuse
    to take the physical exam.
[00:49] MOGURA
    Draft notices are sent to guys who pass
    the exam, so we have no reason to refuse.
[00:55] MOGURA
    I passed second class.
[00:57] MOGURA
    I was skinny, but I'd been using
    the flame to maintain my health.
[01:01] MOGURA
    You don't know what second class means?
[01:03] MOGURA
    You can look it up later.
[01:05] MOGURA
    Magi-chan, you know what
    I'm talking about, right?
[01:07] MOGURA
    After all, you figured it out
    immediately when I said 1942.
[01:11] MOGURA
    I'm impressed.
[01:13] MOGURA
    In fact,
[01:14] MOGURA
    those numbers are a reference to
    7.62x39mm cartridges, right?
[01:19] MOGURA
    Rifle bullets. Seen 'em in movies.
[01:22] MOGURA
    Kubrick, was it?
[01:23] MOGURA
    You were wearing an M1911 shirt yesterday.
[01:25] MOGURA
    That's a gun, yeah? Am I right?
[01:28] MOGURA
    You're into that kinda stuff, right?
[01:30] MOGURA
    So you know a bit about it.
[01:32] MAGI
    Uh, yeah. I play a lot of FPSes.
[01:35] MOGURA
    Games, huh?
[01:36] MAGI
    But it's just for fun. I don't know that much.
[01:39] MAGI
    Sorry if I say something to offend you.
[01:41] MOGURA
    Oh, no. I'm not trying to give you a hard time.
[01:45] MOGURA
    Then you must know about
    the Type 38 rifle, right?
[01:48] MOGURA
    I used to use one, but I know
    hardly anything about them.
[01:51] MOGURA
    Americans had whatchamacallits.
    Some Winchester or something.
[01:54] MOGURA
    Anyway, you know...
[01:56] MOGURA
    They hurt real bad if they hit you.
[02:01] MOGURA
    More than that, it ain't no fun to
    point one at someone and shoot.
[02:07] MOGURA
    Anyway, I'm just whining. Sorry about that.
[02:09] MOGURA
    I'll admit they do look cool.
[02:11] MOGURA
    When I actually saw one, I thought, "Wow!"
[02:15] MOGURA
    And games are fun.
[02:16] MOGURA
    I've played them at arcades.
[02:18] MOGURA
    I can see how people get sucked into them.
[02:20] MOGURA
    I wish I had some, too.
[02:22] MOGURA
    Hard to pick up, though.
[02:25] FX
    Scratch
    Scratch
[02:25] MOGURA
    But the battlefield is different.
[02:28] MOGURA
    I like movies, too, but reality is different.
[02:33] MOGURA
    The smell, the filth, the mosquitoes, the piss
    and shit, the hunger, the itchiness, the pain.
[02:38] MOGURA
    Being bullied by officers, bodies
    covered in grime, maggots in wounds.
[02:42] MOGURA
    When you're told to face right,
    you face right no matter what.
[02:45] MOGURA
    I still dream about it.
[02:46] MOGURA
    Worst of all is I can see all
    the spirits of the dead.
[02:50] MOGURA
    So many of them, both friend and foe.
[02:53] MOGURA
    It's pathetic, but I was
    a bit traumatized by it.
[02:58] MOGURA
    It's the reason I still don't
    want to buy a residency card.
[03:01] MOGURA
    Can't afford it anyway.
[03:02] MOGURA
    I know I could work someplace decent for
    a while if I bought one, but still.
[03:07] MOGURA
    Most of all, it made me
    use up all the flame I'd saved.
[03:09] MOGURA
    I had to start all over.
[03:12] MOGURA
    I told you from the start why I
    explained all of this in detail.
[03:17] MOGURA
    Now that you can see 'em, let me
    know if you run into any spirits.
[03:24] MOGURA
    I'm in the middle of collecting flames again.
[03:27] MOGURA
    Honestly, I'd love the help.
[03:29] MOGURA
    I worked so hard to collect that much,
    so it's real disappointing.
[03:33] MAGI
    How are we supposed to tell you
    when you don't have a cell phone?
[03:37] MOGURA
    Either call this place or come here in person.
[03:40] MOGURA
    It's the number of a candy shop on this street.
[03:40] SIGN
    Guillotine Head Shop

    Guillotine Head Shop

    Guillotine Head Shop
[03:41] SIGN
    Guillotine Head Shop
[03:42] MOGURA
    You can leave a message for me there.
[03:44] MOGURA
    I stop by all the time to use the Internet.
[03:47] MAGI
    What a massive nuisance.
[03:50] MOGURA
    Your faces say my explanation is too
    thorough even considering my goal.
[03:55] MOGURA
    To be honest, gaining your sympathy
    was my scummy ulterior motive.
[03:55] FX
    Scratch
    Scratch
    Scratch
[04:00] MOGURA
    But more importantly,
[04:02] MOGURA
    having someone to talk to is far
    more necessary than you realize.
[04:07] SIGN LEFT
    Liver
    (Japanese Beef)
[04:07] SIGN RIGHT
    Got anemia?
    Liver is the answer!
[04:08] MOGURA
    It's been a while since I've talked about
    all that, but you guys are so nice.
[04:12] MOGURA
    And you never asked what I'm
    being punished for. Thanks.
[04:18] MOGURA
    I won't be mad if you never contact me again.
[04:21] MOGURA
    Thanks for the liver, too. I'm gonna eat it.
[04:23] SIGN
    Mogura Bath
[04:23] MAGI
    Do you think all that was true?
[04:25] SIGN
    Mogura Bath
[04:26] MAGI
    Honestly, it seems possible he's
    part of some weird religion.
[04:30] YAEKO
    Actually, I finally remembered something.
[04:34] YAEKO
    My family's from the country originally,
[04:35] YAEKO
    and we have pictures of my
    great-grandpa in an old storeroom.
[04:39] YAEKO
    And among them...
[04:41] SIGN
    Showa 18
[04:41] YAEKO
    When I first saw Mogura-san,
    I thought they looked similar.
[04:44] YAEKO
    Black and white photos are rare,
     so it left an impression.
[04:48] YAEKO
    My great-grandpa told a lot of tall tales,
[04:51] YAEKO
    like how he swam back home across the sea
    and drank jet fuel instead of liquor.
[04:56] FX
    Pfah
[04:56] MAGI
    I shouldn't laugh, but that's wild.
[04:59] YAEKO
    One of his stories was about a time he was
    badly injured but recovered overnight.
[05:04] YAEKO
    That happened right around the
    time that photo was dated.
[05:09] YAEKO
    I took his story with a grain
    of salt, but if it's true,
[05:12] YAEKO
    then it's possible I was
    born because of Mogura-san.
[05:15] MAGI
    If he could see lots of
    spirits on the battlefield,
[05:18] MAGI
    I was thinking he could have saved more
    fire by-product than he used.
[05:23] MAGI
    Even if he couldn't behave too
    suspiciously in the army...
[05:26] MAGI
    But it's possible Mogura-san used more
    fire on others than he did on himself.
[05:34] MAGI
    I was too scared to ask about his punishment.
[05:37] MAGI
    But he doesn't seem like a bad person.
[05:39] MAGI
    Do you think I'm being naïve?
[05:43] YAEKO
    Maybe.
[05:44] YAEKO
    In this day and age, we'd be called stupid
    for trying to help someone so shady.
[05:52] YAEKO
    But we're not doing the wrong thing.
[05:57] MOGURA
    Hey!
[05:59] MOGURA
    I've never experienced such
    sweet moments in my life!
[06:02] MOGURA
    How dare you flirt right in front of my house!
[06:04] MOGURA
    Just watching you made me angry!
[06:06] MOGURA
    You got that, kids? Damn you!
[06:08] MAGI
    Did you have to come outside
    and yell at us about that?!
[06:11] MOGURA
    Remember this!
[06:12] MOGURA
    Guys who don't experience sweetness
    in their youth never do!
[06:16] MAGI
    When exactly were you young?
[06:19] MOGURA
    I've only ever suffered through
    overly-attached psychos!
[06:24] MAGI
    Nobody wants to hear your stories stewed in mud!
[06:27] MOGURA
    Damn it!
[06:28] MOGURA
    I wish a kind and moderately pervy
    conversation partner would fall into my lap!
[06:34] MOGURA
    I'm so jealous of you!
[06:36] MAGI
    What does "moderately pervy" mean?!
[06:39] MOGURA
    If you know anyone like that,
    introduce me to her!
[06:41] MOGURA
    Contact me about that, too, damn it!
[06:43] FX
    Slam
[06:45] MAGI
    Maybe we should keep our distance.
[06:48] YAEKO
    You'll jinx us by saying that.
[06:56] MAGI
    Was that the candy shop he mentioned?
[06:59] MOGURA
    Yae-chan's great-grandpa...
[07:01] MOGURA
    Has it been that long already?
[07:03] SIGN

[07:03] SIGN
    Store 8
[07:05] MIDDLE AGED MAN
    Throw this away, will ya?
[07:06] MAGI
    Thank you.
[07:09] MAGI/ID
    Damn it. People treat employees like we're
    worthless just because we're a 100 yen shop.
[07:13] MAGI
    What is it, boss?
[07:14] SUKEKIYO
    That guy's a shoplifter!
[07:16] SUKEKIYO
    He bought just one thing and
    didn't pay for the five others!
[07:19] MAGI
    What?!
[07:22] SUKEKIYO
    Magi, don't hold back! Go for the eyes!
[07:25] MAGI
    How?!
[07:26] MAGI
    Sir! You haven't paid yet, damn it!
[07:29] MAGI/ID
    Come to think of it, I wonder
    if spirits ever shoplift.
[07:32] MOGURA
    Hey, you chasin' a shoplifter?
[07:34] MAGI
    What?
[07:34] MOGURA
    Want me to catch him?
[07:36] MAGI
    What?!
[07:43] MOGURA
    Whoops.
[07:44] MOGURA
    I told you, I don't have a license.
[07:46] MOGURA
    I don't have any qualifications
    that require identification.
[07:49] MOGURA
    Train fare is expensive, too.
[07:51] MOGURA
    Instead, I've learned to bike
    up to 70 kilometers per hour.
[07:55] MAGI/ID
    This hardworking idiot...
[07:56] MAGI/ID
    He acts pretty carelessly
    despite his situation.
[08:00] MAGI
    Maybe you could be a keirin racer.
[08:01] MAGI
    Oh, but that requires state credentials, right?
[08:04] MOGURA
    So, what's up with you?
[08:07] MOGURA
    See anything unusual after that?
[08:08] MAGI
    Like what?
[08:10] MOGURA
    Like your first photo of a spirit.
[08:14] MOGURA
    It's fine if you haven't.
[08:16] MAGI
    Am I likely to experience that going forward?
[08:19] SUKEKIYO
    Magi!
[08:20] SUKEKIYO
    Did you get him?
[08:22] MOGURA
    I don't wanna deal with the cops,
    so make something up.
[08:25] MOGURA
    Also, if you've got any expired food,
    give it all to me.
[08:27] MOGURA
    Later!
[08:28] MAGI/ID
    Come to think of it, I wonder if he's weirdly
    fast because of his living conditions.
[08:32] MAGI/ID
    At least oil your bike. Sheesh.
[08:35] SUKEKIYO
    Who was that?
[08:36] MAGI
    Uh, no one.
[08:37] SUKEKIYO
    I see. Well, let's give this guy a
    beating before the cops show up.
[08:41] MAGI
    We can't do that.
[08:43] SUKEKIYO
    Inventory losses directly affect my bonus!
[08:47] SUKEKIYO
    I don't give a crap about a
    shoplifter's human rights!
[08:49] SUKEKIYO
    "If you want security cameras,
    pay for them yourself?"
[08:52] SUKEKIYO
    Yeah, right! Screw you, headquarters!
[08:54] SUKEKIYO
    Screw you, Kaneda from General Affairs!
[08:56] MAGI
    We should complain to the Personnel Division.
[08:58] MAGI
    I'm sure Kaneda-san's under
    pressure from his bosses.
[09:01] SUKEKIYO
    I'll involve the cops in as
    many incidents as possible
[09:04] SUKEKIYO
    and ultimately crush headquarters in court!
[09:06] SUKEKIYO
    That's my current goal!
[09:08] SUKEKIYO
    Or maybe I'll kill a shoplifter!
[09:11] SUKEKIYO
    Even if you kill a guy, you can
    return to society after a few years!
[09:14] SUKEKIYO
    Let's kill him, Magi-kun!
[09:17] MAGI/ID
    We should probably change
    this country's judicial system.
[09:20] MAGI
    You should rest, Boss Sukekiyo.
[09:24] SUKEKIYO
    Magi-kun, full-time employees don't get to rest!
[09:28] SUKEKIYO
    You're hilarious!
[09:29] SUKEKIYO
    Huh? Wait, what's this about "Boss Sukekiyo"?
[09:33] SUKEKIYO
    Is that the employees' secret name for me?
[09:36] MAGI
    Oh, uh, sorry.
[09:38] MAGI
    But, you know, I meant it affectionately.
[09:41] SUKEKIYO
    But Sukekiyo's the least
    likable character ever.
[09:44] SUKEKIYO
    No, wait.
[09:46] SUKEKIYO
    There we go.
[09:46] FX
    Grab
[09:48] SUKEKIYO
    The next time we get a shoplifter,
    I'll deal with him like this!
[09:52] MAGI/ID
    Between Fujimura and this guy,
    living humans might be scarier than spirits.
[09:56] SIGN
    Tea
[09:56] MAGI
    And that's what happened.
[09:58] MAGI
    But when I saw Mogura, I thought maybe
    I'm better off just having that job.
[10:02] YAEKO
    Poor Sukekiyo.
[10:05] YAEKO
    My workplace is peaceful.
[10:07] YAEKO
    I've been at a café for three years.
[10:09] MAGI
    Three years? That's a long time.
[10:10] YAEKO
    It's a nice place.
[10:12] YAEKO
    A new employee joined recently.
[10:14] YAEKO
    They're so young. Only 15.
[10:16] MAGI
    Huh. First year of high school, then?
    Good for them.

[10:21] SHIO
    I love food.
[10:22] MAGI
    Wait. I'm worried about the IQ applied
    in your onboarding process.
[10:25] SHIO
    This place's staff meals are good.

    Call me Yaeko.
[10:34] SHIO
    I'm Inukai Shio, first-year high school student!
[10:36] SHIO
    I love food!
[10:38] YAEKO
    Uh, why are you so broad
    about your preferences?
[10:42] SHIO
    What? But don't you think food tastes good?
[10:45] YAEKO
    Uh, sure.
[10:47] SHIO
    Yaeko-san, what year are you in college?
[10:49] YAEKO
    I'm a third-year. Don't look like it, do I?
[10:53] YAEKO
    Oh, this is our uniform.
[10:54] YAEKO
    This is for front of house.
[10:56] YAEKO
    I work in the kitchen.
[10:57] SHIO
    Okay!
[10:58] SHIO
    This is my first job, so I'm nervous!
[11:04] YAEKO
    It was like gazing on the Swiss Alps,
    and she's not even 20 yet.
[11:09] FX
    Heh
    Heh
[11:11] MAGI/ID
    From low-IQ onboarding to a
    punchline I can't comment on.
[11:18] YAEKO
    You don't have anything to say
    about that, Seminar Leader Magi?
[11:22] YAEKO
    Summarize your thoughts in one page or less.
[11:26] YAEKO
    Hey, Magi-kun.
[11:30] YAEKO
    All the customers were looking at her, too.
[11:33] YAEKO
    Are the Alps really that great?
[11:36] YAEKO
    What's wrong with the Kanto Plain?
[11:38] YAEKO
    C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
[11:41] MAGI/ID
    I guess Yae-chan is even more
    spineless than I am sometimes.
[11:41] YAEKO
    Tell me, Magi-kun.
[11:45] (Flashback) MOGURA
    Having someone to talk to is far
    more necessary than you realize.
[11:51] MAGI/ID
    I might actually have it pretty good right now.
[11:56] YAEKO
    Oh, it's Shio-chan.
[11:58] YAEKO
    Right. They threw a welcome party.
[12:00] MAGI
    Oh, I didn't get one.
[12:04] YAEKO
    She's sending me a picture of it.
[12:07] YAEKO
    What?

    Drawer Street
[12:13] MAGI
    It's really here.

    Honestly, if this street weren't here,
    I would've brushed this off as "I was drunk."

    I'll blame everything scary on

    Guillotine Head Shop
[12:29] MOGURA
    It's your... pain.
[12:32] MAGI
    Is he singing something?
[12:33] MOGURA
    If you can live for someone.
[12:35] YAEKO
    He's singing "Get Wild"?
[12:36] MOGURA
    It's your dream...
[12:37] YAEKO
    But he's missing a lot of the words.
[12:40] MAGI
    Why is he singing so loudly?
[12:40] MOGURA
    You have nothing to fear.
[12:42] MAGI
    I already want to leave.
[12:43] MAGI
    He's even scarier than
    spirits and living humans.
[12:47] MOGURA
    Why not? I like it.
[12:49] MOGURA
    Music is good.
[12:51] MOGURA
    Once you learn a song, you can
    enjoy it even after you're dead.
[12:54] MOGURA
    You'll find that spirits really gather
    at music festivals.
[12:57] MOGURA
    You should treasure that part of culture.
[12:59] MAGI
    What? Really?
[13:01] MAGI
    How am I going to attend festivals now?
[13:03] MOGURA
    If I hear a song I like at a record café,
    I ask them to play it again until I learn it.
[13:09] MAGI
    What a pain in the ass!
[13:12] YAEKO
    Thanks.
[13:13] MOGURA
    Then I use the Internet at the
    candy shop to look for the audio.
[13:17] MAGI
    You've gotten way too good at mooching!
[13:21] MOGURA
    Then I find a way to record
    it on a cassette tape.
[13:23] MAGI
    What is this, the Showa era?
[13:25] MOGURA
    It's not like I have a choice.
[13:27] MOGURA
    I can't get a phone contract, and CDs
    and LPs are too expensive for me.
[13:32] MOGURA
    You can listen to tapes without wifi,
    so if anything, it's an amazing technology.
[13:36] MOGURA
    Cassettes are a luxury.
[13:38] MOGURA
    In the Edo period, all we had was live music.
[13:41] MAGI
    Seriously, how old are you?!
[13:44] MAGI
    No, wait!
[13:45] MAGI
    What are we even talking about?
[13:46] MAGI
    We didn't come here to discuss this!
[13:49] MOGURA
    Where'd that come from?
[13:51] MAGI
    You talk too much about unnecessary crap.
[13:53] MOGURA
    Do I?
[13:55] MOGURA
    As you get older, you spend more
    and more time on idle chatter.
[13:58] MOGURA
    So, what? Did you come to
    tell me you saw a ghost?
[14:02] MOGURA
    Or do you need advice?
[14:05] MOGURA
    Maybe you saw a photo of a spirit
    and don't know what to do.
[14:10] MOGURA
    Paranormal activity with a precision instrument.
[14:13] MOGURA
    Happens a lot these days.
[14:14] MOGURA
    The TV goes crazy, the camera acts up,
    weird voices come out of the phone.
[14:18] MOGURA
    You hear about it all the time.
[14:19] MAGI
    Enough of the occult crap.
[14:21] MAGI
    I don't understand the logic yet,
[14:23] MAGI
    but if you're the reason we can
    see them, then do something.
[14:28] MOGURA
    Well, I think this'll solve the scary part.
[14:33] MOGURA
    That spirit photo looks like this to me.
[14:37] MOGURA
    What about you guys?
[14:39] MOGURA
    Listen, spirits are dead humans.
[14:43] MOGURA
    Don't think of them as hostile
    just because they're creepy.
[14:46] MAGI
    They look like they're having fun!
[14:48] MOGURA
    They're human, after all.
[14:50] YAEKO
    They look hazy to me.
[14:54] MAGI
    I just see the eyes of lots of black shapes.
[14:56] MOGURA
    Yeah, they look different
    depending on the person.
[14:59] FX
    Droop
[15:00] MAGI
    This is getting more and more occult.
[15:03] MOGURA
    You're still complaining about that?
[15:05] MOGURA
    Fine.
[15:06] MOGURA
    I'll show you a perspective that'll momentarily
    interest even an occult-hating gentleman.
[15:11] MOGURA
    Imagine for a minute how you'll
    someday become a spirit.
[15:15] MOGURA
    Then you can look at a girl's ass all you want.
[15:17] YAEKO
    Inappropriate, old man.
[15:17] SIGN BLUE
    Old Man
[15:17] SIGN RED
    Inappropriate
[15:19] MOGURA
    Just for a minute, yeah?
[15:21] MAGI
    I don't care that you're an ass man.
[15:24] MOGURA
    Anyway, there are so many
    of them. That's unusual.
[15:28] MOGURA
    Is it because of the store or the girl?
[15:32] MOGURA
    Yae-chan, did you see anything
    while you were working?
[15:35] YAEKO
    No, nothing.
[15:36] MOGURA
    I see. Well, you weren't looking for them.
[15:39] MAGI
    Are there rules behind how they appear to you?
[15:43] MAGI
    I'd rather they not look scary.
[15:44] MOGURA
    I won't say there aren't any, but it depends
    on your condition and the spirit's.
[15:48] MOGURA
    You just have to get used to it.
[15:50] MOGURA
    Think of it as an Aha! moment.
[15:52] MAGI
    Blargh. The lack of rules makes me sick.
[15:52] FX
    Blargh
[15:55] MOGURA
    Don't think you can explain everything
    about another person according to rules.
[15:59] MOGURA
    That's arrogance.
[16:01] MAGI
    Sorry.
[16:01] FX
    Gloom
[16:03] MOGURA
    Either way, I can't tell if
    they're safe unless I see 'em.
[16:05] MOGURA
    Can I enter the store?
[16:08] YAEKO
    You could as a normal customer.

    Here are your oysters fried in butter.
[16:20] MOGURA
    Thanks.
[16:22] MOGURA
    That's the girl?
[16:23] MAGI
    I don't notice anything unusual...
[16:25] MOGURA
    Look closely.
[16:30] MAGI
    There's something there!
[16:32] MOGURA
    See that? Try drawing them again.
[16:35] MOGURA
    She's extremely easily possessed.
[16:35] SIGN
    Leave us your feedback
[16:38] MAGI
    They're a bunch of criminals!
[16:40] MOGURA
    It's not because of the shop.
    It's her. That's good.
[16:43] MAGI
    No, it's not! I feel sorry for her!
[16:45] MAGI
    What's good about that?
[16:46] MOGURA
    If it were the shop, we'd
    have to deal with them here.
[16:50] MOGURA
    Imaging me leaping into action here.
[16:52] MOGURA
    I could be reported to the cops.
[16:54] MOGURA
    I guess I could play it
    off as contemporary dance.

[16:58] MAGI
    True.
[17:00] MOGURA
    See all the customers glancing at her?
[17:01] SHIO
    Coming!
[17:03] MAGI
    Yeah. I mean, she's cheerful and charming.
[17:06] MOGURA
    More than that, people unconsciously
    look in the direction of "presences."
[17:11] MOGURA
    With all the spirits possessing
    her, they can't help it.
[17:14] YAEKO
    All the customers were looking at her, too.
[17:19] SHIO
    Last order.
[17:20] MOGURA
    Then could I get this seasonal
    fruit sou... souffle?
[17:24] MOGURA
    This pancake thing. The expensive one.
[17:27] MAGI
    That aside, why are you running up
    a bill like I'm paying for this?
[17:34] YAEKO
    Thanks for waiting.
[17:35] SHIO
    Are these the people you
    wanted to introduce to me?
[17:38] YAEKO
    Yeah.
[17:39] SHIO
    Hello. I'm Inukai Shio.
[17:41] MOGURA
    Hello.
[17:43] SHIO
    Which one of you is Yaeko-san's boyfriend?
[17:45] YAEKO
    Neither.
[17:47] MOGURA
    Miss, pardon me, but could
    I ask you a few questions?
[17:51] SHIO
    Sure.
[17:52] MOGURA
    One, do you frequently hear odd sounds
    even though nothing is there?
[17:55] SHIO
    Yes, I do. Always have!
[17:58] MOGURA
    Two, do you get oddly hungry?
[18:00] SHIO
    I do!
[18:02] SHIO
    I want ten servings of noodles with my ramen!
[18:03] SHIO
    Always have!
[18:05] MOGURA
    I'm certain now. She's always
    been prone to possession.
[18:09] MOGURA
    Now how do we explain this to her?
[18:11] MAGI
    Crazy that she brushes it off
    as just how it's always been.
[18:14] SHIO
    Huh? What? I'm prone to possession?
[18:18] SHIO
    Are you guys Ghostbusters?!
[18:20] SHIO
    Wow! Can you use the Force?!
[18:23] MOGURA
    Yeah, whatever. It's fine
    if she learns everything.
[18:28] SHIO
    But there's nothing here.
[18:29] SHIO
    Is it here?
[18:31] SHIO
    Begone, evil spirits!
[18:33] MAGI & YAEKO
    She accepted that quickly!
[18:35] MOGURA
    Girls tend to accept it pretty easily.
[18:39] MOGURA
    Boys tend to demand an
    explanation, deny it entirely,
[18:42] MOGURA
    or are hardcore paranormal enthusiasts.
[18:45] MOGURA
    Miss, do you not want to be possessed?
[18:47] SHIO
    No! What should I do?!
[18:50] MOGURA
    Then let's ask the spirits to leave nicely.

[18:56] FX BLUE

[18:59] MOGURA
    Get outta here!
[19:00] SPIRIT A
    What's your problem?!
[19:01] SPIRIT B
    We were just looking!
[19:04] MAGI
    That wasn't asking nicely at all!
[19:06] MOGURA
    Yeah, I know. Since it's important,
    I wanted to phrase it politely first.
[19:10] MOGURA
    But spirits are pretty brazen
    since people can't see them.
[19:13] MOGURA
    You always end up having to
    drive them off like this.
[19:17] MAGI
    What about all that ethical crap you
    said about spirits being human?!
[19:21] MOGURA
    It's like, you know...
[19:22] MOGURA
    "Don't date, focus on your studies!
[19:24] MOGURA
    (But you guys are dating, right?
    Ah, to be young!)"
[19:30] MOGURA
    Like saying that at school.
[19:32] MAGI
    Your logic is infuriating!
[19:33] MOGURA
    You gotta pay lip service, you know?
[19:36] MOGURA
    Hey, look! It's rare that I
    collect this much at once!
[19:40] YAEKO
    You're the one who mentioned
    looking at a girl's butt all you want.
[19:43] MOGURA
    Now then...
[19:45] MOGURA
    We're done dealing with the ones
    who'll leave when you tell them to.
[19:49] MOGURA
    The real problem starts now.
[19:53] MOGURA
    Don't make eye contact.
[19:55] MOGURA
    Don't act scared. Act normal.
[19:57] MOGURA
    He's only interested in himself.
[19:59] MOGURA
    He doesn't even see that something
    happened to the spirits around him.
[20:02] MOGURA
    But if he realizes we've noticed him,
    it'll be a real pain.
[20:08] MOGURA
    I was hoping she wasn't possessed
    by one of those, but there he is.
[20:12] MOGURA
    Good grief.
[20:13] MOGURA
    We could leave him alone, since Shio-chan
    doesn't seem bothered by him,
[20:16] MOGURA
    but sometimes spirits like him
    switch to nice girls like Yae-chan.
[20:20] YAEKO
    What?
[20:21] FX
    Huff
[20:22] MAGI
    So he's an evil spirit.
[20:23] FX
    Pant
[20:26] MOGURA
    Nah, just needy.
[20:26] FX
    Hnf hnf hnf hnf hnf
[20:30] MOGURA
    I told you, spirits are human.
[20:33] STALKER
    A girl...
[20:33] MOGURA
    In other words, he's a stalker.
[20:35] MAGI
    Now that I get a better look at him,
[20:37] MAGI
    he's less supernaturally scary
    and more simply creepy.
[20:41] MOGURA
    You think telling a stalker
    to leave you alone will work?
[20:45] MAGI
    No.
[20:46] MOGURA
    Right?
[20:47] MAGI
    Living humans have the police.
[20:49] MAGI
    So what do we do about dead people?
[20:52] MAGI
    What we need is a proper exorcist.
[20:55] MAGI
    Someone who won't just make him
    leave but can force him to pass on.
[20:58] YAEKO
    But Mogura-san, you can't
    exorcise spirits, right?
[21:01] MOGURA
    No, but I know someone who can.
[21:04] MOGURA
    There aren't many real exorcists.
[21:06] MOGURA
    And they're stupid expensive.
[21:08] MOGURA
    But I've got a connection.
[21:11] MOGURA
    The thing is, they're even rougher and
    crabbier than me, so you gotta watch how—
[21:16] STALKER SPIRIT
    Do you see me?
[21:20] STALKER SPIRIT
    Were you talking about me behind my back?
[21:24] STALKER SPIRIT
    Badmouthing me?
[21:25] STALKER SPIRIT
    You were badmouthing me, weren't you?
[21:26] STALKER SPIRIT
    Do you hate me?
[21:29] MOGURA
    Crap!
[21:30] MOGURA
    He realized we can see him!
[21:33] MOGURA
    Run!
[21:33] MAGI & YAEKO
    What?
[21:36] MOGURA
    The spirit's about to get real needy!
[21:40] CLIENT
    Hurry up and defeat the spirit possessing me.
[21:43] KYOSHIRO
    Everyone's always asking
    me to "defeat" spirits.
[21:45] KYOSHIRO
    What a bunch of simple-minded idiots.
[21:48] KYOSHIRO
    Why don't you go find a
    ghost-slaying holy sword,
[21:51] KYOSHIRO
    join a ghost hunting squad,
    come up with a cool ability name,
[21:54] KYOSHIRO
    defeat the ghost with your killer move,
    die beautifully while doing it,
[21:58] KYOSHIRO
    and become a ghost yourself!
[21:59] SIGN
    Die and become a ghost yourself!
[22:01] KYOSHIRO
    Then I'll exorcise you.
