[00:03] Y
    Another delicious meal, Ruriko-san!
[00:05] Gu
    Keep eating.
[00:08] Gu
    You only get to eat this for a
    little while more, Yushi-kun.
[00:11] A
    I guess summer vacation ends soon...
[00:14] A
    We'll have a big farewell party, Yushi-kun!
[00:17] Y
    Right!
[00:20] Y
    After coming and meeting all
    the incredible people here,
[00:24] Y
    everything I was so sure I knew fell apart.
[00:38] Y
    It will be September soon.
[00:40] Y
    I'll be leaving the Yokai Apartments.
[00:44] Y
    For some reason, I find myself
    hoping summer never ends.
[00:51] Y
    What's gotten into me?
    I'm not usually like this.
[00:54] Gu
    Hey, Inaba! Are you here?
[00:58] Gu
    Hey! Inaba!
[01:01] Gu
    There you are.
[01:03] Y
    Takenaka... What are you doing here?
[01:05] Gu
    Well, you refused to invite me over.
[01:09] Gu
    So I just came over.
[01:11] Y
    Th-That was because...
[01:13] Y
    I've got my reasons!
[01:15] Gu
    And since I was coming...
[01:19] Gu
    I brought my friends.
[01:23] Y
    Takenaka, you...
[01:26] Gu
    Let's all have some fun!
[03:00] [SONG] Gu
    Fourth Haunting
    This Side
[03:07] Gu
    You're playing Mahjong? Let me play.
[03:11] Y
    Takenaka, what are you thinking?
[03:14] Gu
    Come on, take that stick out of your ass.
[03:17] Gu
    Your friend's here to hang out.
[03:18] Gu
    Don't tell me you're gonna try and stop me.
[03:23] Gu
    Ruriko-san, was it?
[03:24] Gu
    The chef who makes all those
    delicious-looking meals.
[03:27] Gu
    I'd love it if she'd make snacks
    to go with our drinks!
[03:30] Gu
    Wow, this apartment is crappy.
[03:32] Gu
    Seriously. I bet one match would
    bring the whole place down.
[03:35] Gu
    Quiet...
[03:37] Gu
    That ain't funny.
[03:42] Y
    Stop it! Are you drunk?
[03:46] Gu
    You know...
[03:47] Gu
    You must get tired of always being a suck-up.
[03:51] Y
    A suck-up?
[03:57] Gu
    You work hard at your job and club,
    even though you don't like them.
[04:01] Gu
    Well, we'll show you a good time today.
[04:04] Gu
    So tell us how you really feel!
[04:07] Y
    How I really feel?
[04:08] Y
    That's what he thought about me?
[04:13] Gu
    Hey, you said you lived in the same
    building as a teenage girl, right?
[04:18] Gu
    Where are ya, girlie?
[04:20] Gu
    Let's drink together!
[04:23] Gu
    You're kidding me...
[04:26] Y
    Knock it off!
[04:28] Gu
    Hey, what are you doing, suck-up?
[04:31] Gu
    Don't you know what will happen
    to you if you hurt our friend?
[04:43] Y
    I know you don't like me.
[04:47] Y
    But "suck-up" or not, my livelihood's on the line.
[04:51] Y
    If nothing else, I don't have time
    to play at being thugs with you!
[04:56] Gu
    "Play"?
[04:57] Y
    Yeah.
[04:59] Y
    Someone once told me...
[05:02] Gu
    It is humanity's fate to
    be drawn to outlaws...
[05:06] Y
    But do you have any noble motive like that?
[05:09] Y
    What drives you?!
[05:11] Y
    You probably rebel against the world
    because you think it's fun or cool,
[05:15] Y
    or something else that's easy!
[05:17] Gu
    Y-You...
[05:20] Gu
    That's what I dislike about you, Inaba!
[05:25] Gu
    You and your damned
    "I'm an adult" expression!
[05:29] Y
    I didn't want to be an adult!
[05:35] Y
    I'm acting like this for a goddamn reason!
[05:38] Y
    I'm not like you!
[05:40] Gu
    What's he talking about?
[05:43] Gu
    We'll get you for that!
[05:49] Y
    Damn it!
[05:51] Y
    I can't handle six of them at once!
[05:54] Gi
    Yushi-kun, you're so cool!
[05:58] Gi
    You look cute, but you're so wild.
[06:03] Gu
    Have fun, young people.
[06:05] Gu
    Cheers!
[06:08] Y
    Those people...
[06:11] Y
    N-No!
[06:13] Gu
    Die, Inaba!
[06:15] Gu
    Shut up, brats!
[06:25] Gu
    We let you have your fun,
    and this is how you behave?
[06:35] Gu
    Wh-What?
[06:37] Gu
    Costumes?
[06:38] Gu
    You're making too much damn noise.
[06:41] Gu
    I had a really good hand, too.
[06:46] Y
    Those tiles... Those hands.
[06:49] Y
    Those are the Mahjong players?
[06:54] Y
    They were oni?!
[06:57] Gu
    You'd better cut this crap out, or...
[07:10] Y
    They're here.
[07:12] Y
    Things you can't see.
[07:14] Y
    Watching us.
[07:17] R
    Hey, guys...
[07:20] R
    You understand, don't you?
[07:22] R
    It's best to leave Yushi-kun alone.
[07:25] R
    There are some things in the world
    you can't get involved with.
[07:30] R
    You're still young, right?
[07:32] R
    You don't want to ruin your
    whole lives, do you?
[07:36] R
    Do you?
[07:40] Gu
    The hell you think you're doing,
    messing up my yard?
[07:46] Gu
    And you're kids, so you don't
    get to drink and smoke!
[07:50] Gu
    Taste divine punishment!
[07:53] Y
    Damn.
[07:55] R
    Sheesh...
[07:56] R
    Fukase just wants to fight. That's all.
[08:00] R
    At his exhibitions, he gets
    into fights all the time.
[08:03] R
    Some fans come to see it.
[08:06] Y
    Sounds like pro wrestling.
[08:08] Gu
    We'll get you for this!
[08:09] Gu
    Yeah, that's what people say when they lose.
[08:23] Gu
    Hey, Yushi.
[08:24] Y
    Y-Yes?
[08:31] Gu
    You're more of a man now, huh?
[08:34] Y
    Yeah.
[08:40] Y
    That night, a goodbye party was held
    for me at the Yokai Apartments.
[08:46] Gu
    Now, let's eat!
[08:48] Gu
    After a fight, you want meat, beer, and food!
[08:52] Gi
    Right, here you go!
[08:54] Gu
    Meat!
[08:56] Gi
    Have some juice, Yushi-kun.
[08:59] Gi
    That was really cool back there.
[09:02] Y
    M-Mariko-san!
[09:03] ---
    Chirpity-chirp!
[09:04] Gu
    Why so embarrassed, chirp?
[09:06] Gu
    Hey, don't get the wrong idea, chirp!
[09:09] Gu
    You aren't popular with girls, chirp.
[09:11] Gu
    He isn't? Poor guy, chirp.
[09:14] Y
    Shut up!
[09:16] Gu
    We made it in time...
[09:17] Gu
    Glad we turned down that overtime!
[09:19] Gu
    It smells good.
[09:20] Gu
    Thank you, thank you.
[09:25] A
    Here, you go.
[09:27] Gu
    Excuse us.
[09:29] Gu
    Akane-sama sent us here.
[09:32] Gu
    Please take this.
[09:34] R
    Akane-san?
[09:36] A
    A whole red snapper!
[09:38] Gu
    And she said that this is for Yushi-sama.
[09:41] Y
    For me?
SIGN    "The paths we walk are not one,
SIGN    but I shall not forget your face."
[09:54] Gu
    She means she won't forget you.
[09:57] Gu
    Akane-san's quite the poet.
    That's an elegant poem.
[10:03] Y
    Akane-san...
[10:09] Gu
    Hey. Having fun?
[10:11] Y
    Ryu-san!
[10:12] A
    Welcome back, Ryu-san!
[10:15] Gu
    I'm glad I made it in time.
[10:18] Gu
    So this is farewell, Yushi-kun?
[10:21] Y
    Yes.
[10:22] Gu
    How about a drink of Countess
    Bathory's blood?
[10:26] Gu
    You never change, Antiquary.
[10:29] Gu
    And I'm glad to see you don't, either,
    Blue Pearl of the Orient.
[10:34] Gu
    The beautiful Pale Blue.
[10:38] Gu
    Your hair is like that of a mermaid.
[10:43] Gu
    Would you not call me "Pale Blue"?
[10:47] Gu
    Excuse me.
[10:49] Gu
    And...
[10:50] Gu
    Don't steal my hair!
[10:53] Gu
    This hair sells for quite a bit.
[10:56] Gu
    Who said you could sell it? You—
[10:59] A
    It's called "Spirit Hair."
[11:01] A
    Hair can have spiritual powers.
[11:04] Gu
    Indeed.
[11:05] Gu
    I put it into a crystal pendant.
[11:08] Gu
    See?
[11:10] Gu
    Wives of European noblemen
    will pay any price for this.
[11:22] Gu
    A parting gift. Take it.
[11:25] Y
    But...
[11:29] Y
    Thank you.
[11:31] Y
    I'll keep it with me at all times!
[11:33] A
    Yushi-kun!
[11:36] Y
    Akine-san?
[11:37] A
    Then, I'll also put a prayer into it, okay?
[11:47] A
    Please let Yushi-kun live a normal
    life, in a normal way.
[11:54] A
    If you leave this place, your spiritual
    abilities won't be further stimulated.
[12:00] A
    Don't worry, and live your life.
[12:04] Y
    Thanks, Akine-san.
[12:13] Y
    Every day was like a dream.
[12:17] Y
    It was strange and exciting,
[12:19] Y
    and for some reason, it felt familiar.
[12:22] Y
    It would be a time in my life
    I'd never forget.
[12:32] Y
    And soon after, September began.
[12:37] Y
    And I left this apartment building.
[12:55] ---
    Chirp, chirp, chirp!
[12:57] Gu
    It's morning, chirp.
[12:59] Gu
    How long are you going to sleep, chirp?
[13:02] Gu
    Hey, Yushi, chirp!
[13:06] Y
    You guys again?
[13:15] Y
    I see.
[13:16] Y
    Of course they aren't here.
[13:24] Y
    At the second term's start, I moved
    into the new student dorm.
[13:29] Y
    It's amazing!
[13:31] Y
    Everything is so shiny and new!
[13:34] Gu
    Feels like we're kinda lucky, huh?
[13:36] Gu
    I heard the old dorm was thirty years old.
[13:40] Gu
    If you're paying the same, wouldn't you
    rather live in a new place?
[13:44] Gu
    This is Hiroyuki Ishii, a first-year
    and one of my roommates.
[13:50] Gu
    Supposedly, the food around
    here is good, too.
[13:54] Y
    That sounds great.
[14:01] Gu
    Sorry for being noisy.
[14:09] Gu
    Keisuke Kaga, a second-year
    and another roommate,
[14:12] Gu
    was quiet and hard to talk to.
[14:17] Gu
    But better than thinking
    he's older and superior.
[14:20] Gu
    Let's go eat.
[14:22] Y
    Y-Yeah.
[14:27] Y
    I thought that since there wasn't any
    adult supervision at a student dorm,
[14:31] Y
    nasty bullying and stuff would be common.
[14:34] Y
    But evidently, there are more
    and more people like Kaga...
[14:40] Gu
    I'm gonna hit the restroom.
[14:41] Y
    I'll see you there.
[14:54] Y
    Lost? What's your room number?
[14:58] Gu
    304.
[14:59] Gu
    Thanks.
[15:01] Y
    People won't bully you,
    but they won't help you.
[15:05] Y
    My relationships are
    becoming more superficial.
[15:09] Gu
    Wow, this is as good as they said!
[15:12] Gu
    It's also included in the rent,
    and it's plenty, right?
[15:15] Y
    Y-Yeah...
[15:19] Y
    I do think it's good.
[15:21] Y
    But why does it seem like it isn't
    nearly as good as Ruriko-san's?
[15:27] Gu
    Ruriruri's dream was to
    have a little restaurant.

[15:33] Gu
    She died before she could, so she's
    probably still attached to the idea.
[15:38] Y
    A restaurant?
[15:40] A
    She'd quit her hostess job
[15:42] A
    and was ready to run her
    own restaurant, when...
[15:48] A
    She was killed by a customer who'd
    stalked her since her hostess days.
[15:53] A
    And her body was sliced into pieces,
[15:55] A
    most of which weren't found.
[15:58] A
    Ruriruri died before fulfilling her dream,
[16:01] A
    and the last thing she saw was her own hands.
[16:08] Y
    I see...
SIGN    My dream came true, and now I'm very happy.
[16:18] Y
    "My dream came true, and now I'm very happy."
[16:25] Gu
    That's why.
[16:27] Gu
    Ruriko-san's food was made with love.
[16:30] Gu
    She wanted those who ate her
    food to think it was delicious.
[16:35] Gu
    That pure desire made her every
    dish into a sign of her love.
[16:39] Gu
    But...
[16:40] Gi
    I gave you extra rice!
[16:52] Y
    There's no way to put love into that.
[17:02] Y
    It's like when I lived with my uncle.
[17:08] Y
    It feels... suffocating.
[17:14] Y
    Takenaka?
[17:17] Y
    What happened to your face?
[17:19] Y
    Were you hit?
[17:20] Gu
    It isn't your problem, suck-up!
[17:27] Y
    Takenaka...
[17:49] Y
    Um, Kaga-san, can I talk to you?
[17:55] Y
    It's about one of my classmates.
[18:07] Y
    Even still, my school life
    continued without a hitch.
[18:11] Y
    A so-called normal life, with no problems.
[18:17] Y
    But was this what I really wanted?
[18:22] Y
    Was this...
[18:26] Y
    What? What's going on?
[18:28] Gi
    The cops caught some drug dealers.
[18:32] Gu
    Let me go! I don't know anything!
[18:36] Gu
    That's...
[18:37] Gu
    Wasn't one of them a high schooler?
[18:39] Gu
    Seriously?
[18:41] Gu
    What an idiot...
[18:43] Y
    Takenaka!
SIGN    Joutou Business High School
[18:50] Gu
    I did hear rumors that he'd gotten
    involved with a bad crowd...
[18:55] Gu
    I saw them hanging out near the station.
[18:58] Gu
    Me, too.
[18:59] Gu
    I knew they were dangerous.
[19:01] Gu
    He was a normal guy from
    a normal family, right?
[19:05] Gu
    Those are the guys who go crazy, sometimes.
[19:11] Gu
    If I'd listened to him more,
[19:14] Gu
    would things have turned out differently?
[19:21] Gu
    He might have thought
    that I'd understand him.
[19:25] Gu
    That we were both people who
    couldn't get along with the rest.
[19:30] Gu
    So tell us how you really feel!
[19:33] Y
    But...
[19:37] Y
    You and your damned
    "I'm an adult" expression!
[19:41] Gu
    It isn't your problem, suck-up!
[19:45] Y
    But I let go of his hand.
[19:51] Y
    I couldn't understand him.
[19:54] Y
    I thought that he and I had different
    reasons for being alone.
[19:58] Y
    I didn't want him comparing my
    fears and complaints to his.
[20:24] Gu
    Not today, either?
[21:11] Gu
    I just wanted to talk.
    I wanted to see everyone.
[21:15] Gu
    For the first time in a while, I returned
    to the Yokai Apartments.
[21:22] Gu
    But...
[21:26] Gu
    I'm...
[21:32] Gu
    I'm on this side now, aren't I?
[23:10] ---
    Will I end up forgetting my dreamlike
    days at the Yokai Apartments someday?
[23:15] ---
    Oh, come on. Have some food and cheer up.
[23:18] ---
    You're... Wait, who are you again?
[23:20] ---
    I'm Sato! Sato!
[23:22] ---
    I'm not going to treat you,
    if you say things like that.
[23:24] ---
    I remember now!
[23:27] ---
    Next time on Elegant Yokai Apartment Life:
SIGN    Fifth Haunting A Place to Call Home
[23:30] ---
    A Place to Call Home.
[23:32] ---
    Sato-san! This oden is so good!
[23:34] ---
    Right?
