**[00:00] Y**
Listen to us!
**[00:02] Y**
Just release Tashiro—
**[00:06] Y**
What is this?
**[00:07] Y**
Is it coming from those scribbles?
**[00:14] Gu**
Girls... Die.
**[00:17] Gu**
Girls... Die...
***SIGN*** Eleventh Haunting
The Worst Possible Meeting
**[01:51] Gu**
Die.
**[01:52] Gu**
Girls... Die.
**[01:56] ---**
Girls! Die!
**[01:59] Y**
Stop it!
**[02:11] Y**
Y-You okay, Tashiro?
**[02:14] T**
Yeah... You?
**[02:17] Y**
I'm fine.
**[02:19] ---**
Ow...
**[02:23] T**
Miura's gone.
**[02:25] Y**
Looks like he ran off.
**[02:27] T**
What's with that guy?
**[02:28] T**
He was incredibly strong!
**[02:29] T**
I went flying. That should be impossible!
**[02:34] y**
Right...
**[02:35] T**
And did he just throw a student?
**[02:37] T**
Now I'm mad!
**[02:40] Y**
Calm down...
**[02:42] Y**
*But she's right. This doesn't make sense.*
**[02:45] Y**
*Where's Miura getting that power?*
**[02:49] Y**
* And those black bug-like things*
* seemed to possess him.*
**[02:56] Y**
Tashiro? What's wrong?
**[02:58] Y**
Are you hurt somewhere?
**[03:01] T**
I've decided...
**[03:03] T**
If that's how he wants it, I'll learn
all there is to know about him.
**[03:08] T**
I'll use my network of online friends
to discover exactly who he is.
**[03:12] T**
Bye!
**[03:15] Y**
Girls are strong.
**[03:17] F**
Truly...
**[03:19] Y**
Fool!
**[03:20] Y**
Where the hell were you?
**[03:22] F**
That was spooky back there, yes?
**[03:26] Y**
Why didn't you tell me when Miura arrived?!
**[03:29] F**
That isn't fair, master...
**[03:32] F**
I don't even want to sense the
auras of such lowly creatures.
**[03:37] Y**
The one area where you have pride, huh?
**[03:40] F**
Human auras are tainted things.
**[03:43] F**
And my delicate heart only
detects beautiful, pure auras.
**[03:48] Y**
Fine, fine...
**[03:50] Y**
Norns!
**[03:55] Gi**
Did you call us, master?
**[03:57] Y**
What manga did they read this time?
**[04:00] Gi**
Master?
**[04:02] Y**
Can you look into what happened back there?
**[04:04] F**
Curious?
**[04:06] Y**
Yeah. I want to know about that black thing.
**[04:13] Y**
What's wrong?
**[04:14] Gi**
It's gone.
**[04:16] Gi**
That muddy thing is gone from the room.
**[04:20] Y**
Gone?
**[04:21] Y**
That's impossible. I just saw it.
**[04:24] Y**
Are there yokai that can just
appear and disappear?
**[04:28] F**
That is impossible.
**[04:31] F**
Ghosts and yokai are not so indistinct.
**[04:36] F**
They appear in forms that we can sense.
**[04:40] Y**
So it wasn't a ghost or yokai?
**[04:42] Y**
Can you tell me more, Norns?
**[04:44] Gi**
Sorry.
**[04:45] Gi**
Why not ask Cait Sith—
**[04:48] Gi**
You still believe in that liar cat, Urdr?!
**[04:50] Gi**
But...
**[04:52] Gi**
Stop it!
**[04:53] Gi**
How many times has that cat tricked you?
**[04:55] Y**
Who else knows things?
**[04:57] Y**
Him... Chokmah!
**[05:05] Gu**
Do you need something?
**[05:06] Y**
Can you think of something muddy
**[05:09] Y**
and stuck in one place,
which isn't a yokai or ghost?
**[05:15] Gu**
That's, well...
**[05:18] Gu**
It could be many things.
**[05:23] Gu**
A portal to the demon world
**[05:26] Gu**
from which negative energy
flows outward, perhaps.
**[05:29] Y**
The demon world?
**[05:30] Gu**
If that were true, we'd have
big problems right now!
**[05:34] Gu**
The demon world's miasma instantly
transforms a person into a monster.
**[05:39] Gu**
And a hole to the demon world
doesn't simply open, anyway.
**[05:44] Y**
What else could it be?
**[05:49] Gu**
Memories, perhaps?
**[05:51] Y**
Memories?
**[05:52] Gu**
Yes, the memories of a thing!
**[05:56] Gu**
In an old castle was a room
called the "slaughter room."
**[06:01] Gu**
When a lord caught his wife
in bed with another man,
**[06:05] Gu**
he slew both of them there.
**[06:09] Gu**
Even decades later, they would appear,
**[06:13] Gu**
writhing and covered in blood.
**[06:18] Gu**
Due to their powerful emotional states at
the time when they suffered and died,
**[06:24] Gu**
which were burnt into the room.
**[06:29] Y**
Powerful emotions...
**[06:31] Y**
Old man, could the feelings doing that
be hatred or the desire to curse others?
**[06:38] Gu**
Indeed.
**[06:39] Gu**
The emotions remain.
**[06:42] Gu**
Strong sorrow, hatred, and terror.
**[06:45] Gu**
Emotions that easily accrue can
build up in a single place.
**[06:50] Gu**
Even if their originator forgets or vanishes,
**[06:56] Gu**
the emotions persist there.
**[07:00] Y**
Emotions that persist,
even if their originator forgets.
**[07:03] F**
Sounds like the id...
**[07:06] Y**
The id?
**[07:07] F**
That which knows not good or evil, loss or
gain, contradiction, time, or space,
**[07:12] F**
existing only to fulfill the demands
of the unconscious.
**[07:16] F**
That's what I read in a book.
**[07:18] Y**
That's...
**[07:21] Y**
It was in a movie Hase and I saw as kids.
**[07:24] Gu**
The protagonist's evil desires
**[07:26] Gu**
took the form of a monster of the id.
**[07:31] Gu**
The misogyny of whoever scribbled those words
**[07:34] Gu**
accumulated in that place.
**[07:38] Gu**
That was a monster of the id.
**[07:42] Gu**
But it's gone now.
**[07:44] Gu**
Old man, can that id monster wander around?
**[07:50] Gu**
Those things desire a vessel
more than anything.
**[07:55] Gu**
A vessel?
**[07:56] Gu**
A large amount of emotion
is a powerful being.
**[08:00] Gu**
Sometimes, it begins to
seek a body for itself.
**[08:05] F**
And any vessel will do,
whether thing or person.
**[08:09] F**
You have heard many stories about
dolls with souls, haven't you?
**[08:13] F**
The formless seek to enter form.
**[08:20] ---**
That which is empty makes
an especially good vessel.
***SIGN*** Faculty Room
**[08:32] Gi**
Yes, thank you.
**[08:34] Gi**
And about this part...
**[09:00] Gi**
Sensei? Miura-sensei?
**[09:04] Gi**
I brought the plan for the
Drama Club's activities.
**[09:08] Gu**
Thanks...
**[09:11] Gi**
Are you okay?
**[09:12] Gu**
Sorry, I've just got a headache.
**[09:16] Gi**
Shouldn't you go to the nurse's office?
**[09:19] Gu**
No, I'm fine.
**[09:23] Gi**
What's their problem?
**[09:25] Gi**
Do they think they can tell us what to do?
**[09:28] Gi**
Let's teach them a lesson.
**[09:39] Gi**
Are you okay, Sensei?
**[09:42] Gi**
Sensei...
**[10:00] Y**
Miura?
**[10:01] Gu**
Get back!
**[10:06] Gu**
*He looks so worn-down...*
**[10:08] Gu**
* It's only been a few days*
* since he first went crazy.*
**[10:12] Gu**
*Is he really possessed by an id monster?*
**[10:16] Gu**
*What happened in his past?*
**[10:31] F**
What would you like to do, master?
**[10:38] Y**
* The minute I start training as a mage,*
* running into a heavy case like this...*
**[10:45] H**
Don't get involved in any weird stuff.
**[10:49] Y**
*Hase...*
**[10:52] Y**
*I'm sorry,*
**[10:54] Y**
* but I want to solve the*
* mysteries of this case.*
**[11:00] Y**
*And the meaning of our encounter.*
**[11:21] R**
So Miura-sensei saw the girl and collapsed?
**[11:25] R**
These misogynistic emotions are
possessing him at irregular intervals?
**[11:30] R**
I think so, too.
**[11:32] Y**
You do?
**[11:34] Y**
I don't know what to do.
**[11:36] Gi**
Oh? Thinking of an exorcism,
now that you're a master mage?
**[11:40] Y**
That isn't it!
**[11:42] Y**
I just want a specialist's opinion.
**[11:44] Y**
But Ryu-san and Furuhonya-san are both out.
**[11:48] Y**
And Akine-chan is off on
some kind of school trip.
**[11:52] Y**
At a time like this,
why can't I reach anyone?
**[11:56] R**
Well, that's a problem...
**[11:58] Gu**
But even if he is possessed,
performing an exorcism would be difficult.
**[12:04] Gu**
You'd need his or his family's permission.
**[12:09] Gu**
To his family, knowing none of this,
**[12:12] Gu**
he doesn't need an exorcism
but medical treatment.
**[12:16] Gi**
Even if that won't work.
**[12:20] Y**
Right...
**[12:22] ---**
That's right.
**[12:23] Y**
Even if Akine-chan were here,
**[12:25] Y**
we can't just break into his room
and perform an exorcism.
**[12:29] Y**
If we did that, we'd be the
ones sent to the hospital.
**[12:32] R**
That's how the world works.
**[12:34] R**
Strange, huh?
**[12:37] Gu**
It used to be worse.
**[12:40] Gu**
People who collapsed from
minor mental problems
**[12:43] Gu**
were said to be "fox-possessed."
**[12:45] Gu**
And people thought violence
would drive the fox out,
**[12:48] Gu**
so they'd beat them en masse
or imprison them forever.
**[12:52] Gu**
Sometimes, the whole family
would be considered cursed.
**[12:57] Gu**
In the end,
**[12:59] Gu**
discrimination and fear toward
the unknown doesn't change.
**[13:03] Gu**
Can't be helped, though.
**[13:06] Y**
Sato-san?
**[13:08] Gi**
That's the way I was before I died...
**[13:11] Y**
Mariko-san?
**[13:12] Y**
Looks, trends...
**[13:15] Y**
I just followed them,
not thinking about a thing.
**[13:18] Y**
I feared what was different
**[13:20] Y**
and discriminated against it.
**[13:24] Y**
Basically, I was an idiot.
**[13:27] Y**
So,
**[13:28] Y**
studying is really important, Yushi-kun!
**[13:31] Y**
See, hear, and read a lot,
**[13:33] Y**
and expand your world!
**[13:35] Y**
R-Right...
**[13:37] Gu**
That's Mariko-chan for you! Smart thinking!
**[13:40] Y**
I've been dead for a few decades,
and I've spent them thinking!
**[13:44] Y**
Anyway, back to drinking!
**[13:46] Y**
*Their words were very heavy.*
**[13:49] Y**
* They'd probably seen that*
* many times in their lives.*
**[13:54] Gu**
Well,
**[13:56] Gu**
it's hard to tell a person who's alive
**[14:00] Gu**
to seriously study ghosts and yokai.
**[14:03] Gi**
That's right!
**[14:04] Gi**
Even though they're making movies like that.
**[14:07] Gi**
Oh! It's so scary!
**[14:09] Y**
*Jeez...*
**[14:11] Y**
*I don't know what to do.*
**[14:13] Y**
*And I'm so close. It's frustrating.*
**[14:16] Y**
*But maybe Sato-san's right.*
**[14:19] Y**
*Maybe all I can do now is watch.*
**[14:22] Y**
*Me? Save Miura?*
**[14:24] Y**
*That's ridiculous—*
**[14:27] Y**
Kuri?
**[14:30] ---**
Thanks.
**[14:33] Y**
It's good!
**[14:34] Y**
This croquette is great!
**[14:35] Y**
The potatoes and ground beef...
**[14:37] Y**
It's so simple, but the taste is so complex.
**[14:40] Y**
Packed, but so light on the tongue!
**[14:47] Y**
And it's so sweet...
**[14:49] R**
Today's snack was Ruriruri's
potato croquettes, huh?
**[14:53] Y**
It's cold, but the crust is crispy.
**[14:55] Y**
And the salt and pepper are perfect.
**[14:57] R**
That's Ruriko's magic for you.
**[14:59] Y**
It is magic!
**[15:00] R**
And when you want a midnight snack...
**[15:04] Y**
A midnight snack?
**[15:05] R**
You can warm it in the microwave,
**[15:09] R**
put it on cold rice,
**[15:11] R**
top with some sauce,
**[15:13] R**
then add yellow radish!
**[15:15] R**
It's amazing!
**[15:18] Y**
Warm in the microwave
and put it on cold rice?
**[15:21] R**
Warm in the microwave
and put it on cold rice!
**[15:26] Y**
O-Oh, wow...
**[15:30] Y**
Ruriko-san, do you have any croquettes left?!
**[15:33] Y**
What about cold rice? And yellow radish?
**[15:35] Y**
For me, too!
**[15:36] Gi**
And me!
**[15:37] Gu**
I put my croquettes on soba noodles, chirp.
**[15:39] Gu**
You do what, chirp?
**[15:41] Gu**
I mix them with eggs, chirp.
**[15:43] ---**
Chirpity-chirp! Chirp!
**[15:48] Gi**
Hello!
**[15:50] Gi**
This is the Yokai Ap— I mean Kotobuki-so.
**[15:53] Gu**
This looks so good.
**[15:53] Gi**
Just a second.
**[15:55] Gu**
Is not waiting for others okay?
**[15:56] Gi**
Yushi-kun! Call from Tashiro-chan!
**[15:57] Gu**
Don't tell the others.
**[15:59] Y**
Tashiro?
**[16:00] T**
Hey, Inaba...
**[16:01] T**
Get a cell phone!
**[16:02] T**
Talking to other people makes me nervous!
**[16:05] Y**
How did you get the number for this place?
**[16:08] T**
*It doesn't matter, does it?*
**[16:10] T**
*Anyway, I heard Miura collapsed?*
**[16:12] Y**
Yeah.
**[16:13] T**
*I see. I discovered a lot, too.*
**[16:16] T**
*Like what happened at his old school.*
**[16:18] Y**
Really? And?
**[16:20] T**
I got a photo, as well.
**[16:22] T**
He looks like a totally different person!
**[16:24] T**
Want to see it?
**[16:25] Y**
*Y-Yeah.*
**[16:26] T**
*Right?*
**[16:27] T**
*Then, come to the front door.*
**[16:32] Y**
Don't tell me...
**[16:36] Y**
Tash—
**[16:37] T**
Hey, there! I came by!
**[16:39] Y**
Listen...
**[16:40] Y**
If our sexes were swapped, I'd call the cops!
**[16:42] T**
This place is really retro, huh?
**[16:46] Y**
How did you find this place?!
**[16:48] T**
I do whatever it takes to get information.
**[16:51] T**
Especially private information
on my classmates...
**[16:55] Gu**
Who's that?
**[16:57] Y**
Do you want to be in the CIA?
**[16:59] T**
Maybe...
**[17:02] Y**
Forget it.
**[17:04] Y**
Then, what's this about Miura?
**[17:06] T**
Oh, right.
**[17:08] T**
Look at this, first.
**[17:10] T**
It's a photo taken when Miura
first became a teacher.
**[17:16] T**
English Katsumasa Miura
**[17:16] T**
He really does look like a different person!
**[17:18] T**
It was just a few years ago, right?
**[17:20] Gu**
Look at the title of the album.
***SIGN*** Twelfth
Shiramine Girls' High School
Graduation Album
**[17:23] Gu**
Shiramine Girls' High?
**[17:26] Gu**
A girls' high school?
**[17:27] T**
Shiramine is a hard school to get into,
**[17:30] T**
and it's got a good reputation.
**[17:32] T**
All its clubs and teams are well respected.
**[17:34] T**
The Drama Club, specifically,
wins lots of competitions each year.
**[17:38] Y**
So wasn't that good for Miura?
**[17:40] T**
It's just that girls there can be nasty.
**[17:45] Y**
Nasty?
***SIGN*** Takanodai Central Hospital
**[17:46] T**
There are many rumors.
**[17:48] T**
They're good, but also very proud.
**[17:52] T**
And they ignore newer teachers.
**[17:55] Y**
That's...
**[17:57] T**
Last year, Miura supposedly
quit for personal reasons.
**[18:02] T**
But the real cause was a fight
with the Drama Club girls
**[18:05] T**
that ended with something
terrible happening to him
**[18:07] T**
and his refusal to go to school.
**[18:10] Y**
Something terrible?
**[18:12] T**
Something that totally changed
his appearance.
**[18:16] T**
And after a two-year recovery,
he came to JTB.
**[18:20] Y**
Looks like he's totally dragged it
with him, instead of getting better.
**[18:25] Y**
So that's why girls have to die, huh?
**[18:28] Y**
*Miura suffered at the hands of girls.*
**[18:31] Y**
*His pride and self-confidence were ruined.*
**[18:35] Y**
*When he came to JTB, he was an empty shell.*
**[18:39] Y**
* A room filled with the hatred an*
* unknown person had for women.*
**[18:44] Y**
* Miura, the Drama Club adviser,*
* would inevitably go there.*
**[19:02] Y**
*Miura, emptied out because of girls...*
**[19:05] Y**
*The id monster, waiting for a vessel.*
**[19:09] Y**
*It was the worst possible*
**[19:12] Y**
*encounter of fate.*
**[19:24] T**
What's wrong, Inaba?
**[19:26] Y**
Nothing.
**[19:46] Gu**
*They have to suffer.*
**[19:59] T**
I have a bike.
**[20:00] T**
You don't need to walk me back!
**[20:03] Y**
Yeah, I do.
**[20:05] Y**
*Now I know how the id monster and Miura met.*
**[20:09] Y**
*But something still doesn't feel right.*
**[20:11] Y**
*What is it?*
**[20:13] T**
Come to think of it,
**[20:15] T**
why do you have this photo
in your student notebook?
***SIGN*** Double Peace

**[20:20] Y**
When did you get that?! Is that
how you found my address?
**[20:24] T**
Is that your girlfriend?
**[20:26] Y**
Are you stupid?
**[20:27] Y**
He's a guy!
**[20:29] T**
You take photos like that with other guys?
**[20:31] Y**
You girls do it all the time!
**[20:34] T**
But it's different, isn't it?
**[20:37] Y**
*Anyway, the id monster wanted a vessel.*
**[20:41] Y**
* Because it wanted to go*
* someplace to do something.*
**[20:45] Y**
* It felt like the first thing it'd*
* done was pursue Tashiro...*
**[20:49] ---**
*for some reason.*
**[20:53] T**
This is it! This is the place!
**[20:55] T**
I'll lock up my bike.
**[20:57] Y**
Okay.
**[21:02] Y**
*But Miura collapsed just this afternoon...*
**[21:05] Y**
*It might be too soon.*
**[21:08] Y**
Tashiro!
**[21:15] Y**
Are you okay—
**[21:34] Y**
Tashiro!
