SIGN    Sweet Bitter Potato [01:35] Yuzuko     Momo, you don't have to run so fast. [01:39] Momo     Yes, I do. [01:41] Momo     The school store's sweet     potatoes are really popular. [01:44] Momo     They sold out yesterday,     and I couldn't get any. [01:47] Yuzuko     Your dedication to food is amazing. SIGN    School Store [01:53] A     I'll take three sweet potatoes. [01:56] Yuzuko     This whole line is for sweet potatoes? [01:58] Yuzuko     It's like a fancy delicatessen in a mall. SIGN    Sweet Potatoes [02:05] Momoko     We're almost there! [02:07] Yuzuko     You'll finally get your potatoes. SIGN    Maximum of 3 Sweet     Potatoes per person [02:10] Momo     Two sweet potatoes— [02:11] B     Sweet potatoes are now sold out. SIGN    Out of sweet potatoes [02:14] Both     What?! [02:15] Momoko     Aww, they're out... [02:18] Yuzuko     We waited so long, too... [02:20] B     We're sorry. [02:20] Nagiko     Momoko. [02:21] Momoko     Huh? [02:23] Momoko     Nagiko-chan-senpai. [02:24] Nagiko     Oh, good. I've been looking for you. [02:27] Nagiko     Do you have some time? [02:29] Nagiko     You kind of look like you've     given up on the world. [02:32] Momoko     I'm okay, really. [02:34] Momoko     Yuzu-chan and I came to     buy some sweet potatoes, [02:37] Momoko     but they ran out as soon as we got there,     so I'm just disappointed. [02:41] Yuzuko     Nice to meet you. [02:42] Yuzuko     I'm an old friend of Momo's, Yuzuko Hazuki. [02:45] Yuzuko     Thanks for looking after Momo. [02:47] Nagiko     Please, no need to exaggerate. [02:50] Nagiko     I'm a second-year in the     light music club, Kurokawa. [02:53] Nagiko     Nice to meet you. [02:55] Momoko     So, what did you need, Nagiko-chan-senpai? [02:59] Nagiko     Oh, right... Did you turn in     the light music club activity log? [03:04] Momoko     Actually, I haven't yet... [03:06] Nagiko     I thought as much. [03:07] Nagiko     The teacher's looking for it,     so please submit it soon. [03:12] Momoko     I'm sorry about that... [03:13] Nagiko     You don't have to get so upset. [03:16] Nagiko     I couldn't buy my sweet potatoes, [03:19] Nagiko     and I forgot to submit the activity log... [03:21] Nagiko     Bad things just keep happening... [03:24] Yuzuko     No, as far as the log goes,     you just forgot to turn it in. [03:27] Nagiko     Anyway, don't forget. [03:29] Momoko     Okay. I'm sorry. [03:34] Akari     President Mishima! [03:36] Yurara     Oh... Uh... [03:38] Akari     I'm Akari Amari, a first-year from the occult club. [03:41] Yurara     I might be the president and not at club much, [03:44] Yurara     but I still know who you are. [03:46] Yurara     What brings you to the third-years' building? [03:49] Akari     Look at this! SIGN    The 1984 Log of All Club Activity [03:51] Yurara     The 1984 Log of All Club Activity? [03:56] Yurara     That's pretty old. [03:58] Yurara     There's a strange code written in the     occult research club's log for this year. [04:05] ---     Let's see... [04:07] Yurara     "Forge lost connections, [04:10] ---     and lead the people to the cafeteria." [04:13] Akari     What is this supposed to mean? [04:16] Yurara     Well, if I remember correctly... [04:18] Yurara     I think I've heard of a code that     described how to solve a problem [04:23] Yurara     that came up in the occult club a long time ago. [04:26] Yurara     Maybe that's it. [04:28] Akari     A problem? [04:29] Akari     Like all of the club's members [04:31] Akari     turned into zombies, except the president?! [04:34] Yurara     That'd be an awfully grim situation... [04:37] Yurara     I don't really know the details, though. [04:40] Yurara     I'm like a ghost president, you know. [04:43] Yurara     If you're looking into it, good luck. [04:46] Akari     I see... [04:48] Akari     Thank you. SIGN    Faculty Room [04:51] Momoko     Sorry to interrupt. [04:53] Momoko     Hmm... I guess I'll go tell Nagiko-chan-senpai     that I submitted the log. [04:59] Kokomi     You're really something, Kurokawa-san. [05:01] Nagiko     How so? [05:03] Nagiko     You were talking to that girl     in the school store earlier. [05:07] Nagiko     Oh, you mean the first-year     from the light music club? [05:09] Haruka     Who? [05:11] Nagiko     Her name's Momoko. [05:12] Kokomi     It was like you were talking with a friend. [05:16] Nagiko     I don't really pay attention to     who's older and who's younger. [05:19] Haruka     If anything, people might think     that makes you unreliable. [05:23] Nagiko     Yeah, if we're talking about you, Haruka. [05:25] Haruka     H-Huh? Am I unreliable? [05:29] Kokomi     I can't talk to older students     like you do. I get scared. [05:34] Nagiko     Well, this year's first-years are really     energetic, or just do as they please. [05:38] Nagiko     Some of them are pretty airheaded, too. [05:41] Nagiko     So it can be a pain to deal with. [05:44] Momoko     A pain? [05:45] Haruka     And it's terribly rude for people to     assume we're unreliable, too. [05:49] Momoko     Rude... [05:52] Yuzuko     What are you doing? [05:54] Yuzuko     Class is about to start. [05:56] Momoko     R-Right... [06:04] Yuzuko     What's wrong? [06:06] Yuzuko     Are you that depressed because you     didn't get any sweet potatoes? [06:10] Momoko     Am I a pain? [06:13] Momoko     Am I rude? [06:15] Yuzuko     Huh? [06:16] Momoko     Am I a pain for talking to older girls like friends, [06:18] Momoko     and being energetic and airheaded     and doing as I please? [06:23] Yuzuko     Huh? [06:25] Momoko     I wonder if I'm rude for not     relying on the older girls, too... [06:29] Yuzuko     Huh? What's wrong? What happened? [06:35] Yuzuko     I see... [06:36] Yuzuko     Kurokawa-senpai said all that? [06:39] Momoko     I've been in the light music     club for almost half a year. [06:42] Momoko     I always thought we were getting along great. [06:45] Momoko     Is it that bad to talk to her like we're friends? [06:50] Yuzuko     I don't know if it's bad, but I guess     treating a senpai as any other friend [06:57] Yuzuko     kind of goes against etiquette. [07:00] Yuzuko     An athletic club would never let that happen. [07:02] Yuzuko     I guess it's kinda rude. [07:05] Momoko     So I was being rude... [07:08] Yuzuko     Calm down. [07:09] Yuzuko     I was just talking about how     the athletic clubs operate. [07:13] Yuzuko     Okay? [07:15] Momoko     At this rate... [07:17] Nagiko     Her lousy manners make her annoying enough, [07:21] Nagiko     but she's an airhead, too. What a pain. [07:22] Haruka     That's 50 push-ups for you! [07:24] Momoko     No! I can't! [07:26] Momoko     It might trim my upper arms,     but I'd get all muscular! [07:30] Yuzuko     What did you imagine that     made you bring up muscles? [07:34] Momoko     Maybe I need to stop coming across as airheaded? [07:37] Yuzuko     I think you just need to speak a little more politely. [07:41] Momoko     Um... To stop being airheaded... [07:45] Momoko     Would the opposite of     "airheaded" be "waterheaded"? SIGN    (Aquaculture) [07:48] ---     Do I just need to be waterheaded? [07:51] Yuzuko     She's doomed. [08:01] Akari     Miyauchi-san. [08:07] Nozomi     Don't do that... [08:09] Nozomi     You scared me. [08:11] Akari     I'm sorry. [08:13] Akari     I wasn't going to attack you or anything. [08:16] Akari     I was trying to scare you, though. [08:19] Nozomi     It's bad enough that you meant to scare me. [08:22] Nozomi     So, did you need something? [08:26] Akari     Well, I was looking at this. [08:29] Nozomi     What's this? [08:31] Akari     It looks like some sort of code. [08:32] Nozomi     Code? [08:33] Akari     Do you know what it means? [08:35] Nozomi     What it means... [08:39] Nozomi     No clue. [08:41] Akari     Don't just give up so easily. [08:44] Nozomi     Why are you asking me, anyway? [08:47] Akari     Well, Miyauchi-san, you're in the film research club. [08:51] Akari     If you're familiar with the suspense genre, [08:53] Akari     I thought you might know about this stuff. [08:55] Akari     I only watch movies that have     blood spraying everywhere! [09:00] Nozomi     That's quite a bias... [09:02] Nozomi     But I'm not too familiar with     suspense, either, so I don't know. [09:08] Akari     I see... [09:10] Akari     Sorry to bother you. [09:12] Momoko     Anyway, I just don't think I should bother anyone. [09:16] Momoko     For Nagiko-chan-senpai and Haruka-chan-senpai, [09:20] Momoko     and for the light music club... [09:22] Momoko     I need to change. [09:24] Yuzuko     Well, you might be right, [09:27] ---     but I don't think you can change just like that. [09:31] Momoko     Then, what should I do? [09:34] Yuzuko     I think it's important to show the older girls     how much you appreciate them every day. [09:39] Yuzuko     If you can do that, [09:41] ---     you'll be showing them respect     naturally, without being weird. [09:44] Momoko     I see... [09:46] Yuzuko     If you can show them respect, [09:48] Yuzuko     I'm sure you can restore a relationship     of half a year, even if it was lost. [09:52] Akari     That's it! [09:53] Akari     That's exactly it! [09:54] Akari     Forge lost connections! [09:57] Akari     I'm sure the relationships between     members of the occult research club [10:00] Akari     became rocky, and they were trying to fix them! [10:06] Both     Right. [10:09] Yuzuko     "Forge lost connections, [10:12] ---     and lead the people to the cafeteria." [10:15] Yuzuko     This is talking about students     forming stronger relationships? [10:19] Akari     That's right! [10:21] Akari     Mishima-senpai, the occult     research club's "ghost president"... [10:25] (Flashback) Yurara     I think I've heard of a code that     described how to solve a problem [10:30] (Flashback) Yurara     that came up in the occult club a long time ago. [10:33] Akari     ...told me that. [10:35] Akari     So I'm sure it's talking about getting     students who were fighting to make up! [10:39] Yuzuko     What about the "lead the people      to the cafeteria" part, then? [10:43] Akari     I'm sure they all ate together     there after they made up! [10:48] Yuzuko     I understand where you're coming from, [10:50] Yuzuko     but it sounds a bit contrived. [10:51] Yuzuko     Right, Momo? [10:53] Momoko     Lead the people to the cafeteria... [10:56] Yuzuko     Huh? [10:57] Momoko     If we can solve that code, [10:59] Momoko     I can make up with Nagiko-chan-senpai     and Haruka-chan-senpai. [11:03] Momoko     Is that what it means? [11:04] Yuzuko     No, that's— [11:06] Akari     That's right! [11:07] Akari     I'm sure there's some sort of     forbidden law in here that will let you [11:11] Akari     fix your relationships with the older girls! [11:13] Akari     We need to figure out the method! [11:16] Yuzuko     No, that can't be... [11:18] Yuzuko     There's almost no evidence. [11:20] Yuzuko     Right, Momo? [11:24] Momoko     Let's solve this, Amari-san! [11:26] Akari     Of course, Asahina-san! [11:29] Yuzuko     It's no use. They're not even making sense now. [11:35] Yuzuko     Hey, Miyauchi-san, say something... [11:37] Nozomi     I'm not really into mystery and suspense movies, [11:43] Nozomi     but this seems like a lot of fun! [11:46] Yuzuko     Huh?! [11:46] Nozomi     I'll help out, too! [11:49] Yuzuko     How did this happen? [11:51] Yuzuko     Can you guys calm down just a little? [11:54] Ichigo     Excuse us! [11:56] Ichigo     Um... Would you mind if we joined you? [12:02] Nae     Is it true that we can get     along with the older girls? [12:05] Ichigo     Some things have happened in our club, too... [12:09] Momoko     Sure. We'd love to welcome you. [12:11] Momoko     Let's all work together to solve the code, [12:13] Momoko     and make up with the older girls! [12:16] All     Yeah! [12:23] ---     Girl Friend BETA. [12:28] Nozomi     Our first clue here is the keyword "cafeteria." [12:33] Akari     Yeah, it is the only word here     that's pretty well-defined. [12:38] Akari     So, what should we do first? [12:42] Momoko     I think we should start by introducing ourselves. [12:46] Yuzuko     Huh? [12:47] Momoko     Well, we're all in different classes and clubs. [12:50] Momoko     We don't know what to call each other. [12:52] Momoko     We should do all of that right. [12:54] Yuzuko     If we have the time for that,     we should use it to search for clues... [12:58] Ichigo     I'm Ichigo Kohinata from     Class 1-B and the art club. [13:03] Ichigo     I feel happiest when I'm able     to peel a peach perfectly. [13:10] Nae     I'm also from 1-B, Nae Yuuki,     in the arts and crafts club. [13:14] Nae     I make cute mascot toys. [13:16] Akari     I'm Akari Amari of Class 1-C,     in the occult research club. [13:21] Akari     I like zombies and blood splatters! [13:24] Yuzuko     They really are introducing themselves... [13:28] Yuzuko     Anyway, we just need to find out     what happened in the cafeteria. [13:32] Yuzuko     We can check the school logs     and graduation pictures... [13:35] Yuzuko     Looking in the old school records     is the only thing we can really do. [13:38] Nozomi     We don't have much to go on, do we? [13:43] Ichigo     Hey, look at that. SIGN    Graduation Albums [13:44] Ichigo     I think they're the graduation albums. [13:47] Nae     Yeah, they are. [13:48] Nae     Let's take a look. [13:53] Ichigo     Nae-chan, how tall are you, again? [13:58] Nae     143 centimeters... [14:00] Momoko     Oh, I'm taller! [14:02] Yuzuko     You're not that much taller, Momo. [14:04] Momoko     I'm taller by two centimeters. [14:06] Yuzuko     It's not a contest. [14:08] Yuzuko     Anyway, the tallest one here should get them. [14:11] All     Stare... [14:13] Yuzuko     Me? [14:15] Yuzuko     Okay, hold on. [14:20] Yuzuko     There we go. [14:23] Yuzuko     Ow... [14:25] Fumio     What happened? [14:27] Yuzuko     Sorry. [14:28] Yuzuko     I was trying to pull a book off the top shelf, [14:31] Yuzuko     and the other books fell, too. [14:33] Fumio     Oh, in that case, you should      have used a stepladder. [14:38] Yuzuko     Yeah... [14:40] Fumio     Are you looking for any book in particular? [14:42] Akari     We're looking for any materials     on the school cafeteria! [14:46] Fumio     The cafeteria? [14:49] Fumio     I've never seen anything like that. [14:52] Fumio     Do you need it for something? [14:54] Akari     Yeah, this. [14:55] Nozomi     Apparently, the occult research club ate     together in the cafeteria a long time ago. [15:00] Nozomi     We wanted to know more about it. [15:02] Nae     But if there are no books on it, I guess we can't... [15:07] Fumio     We don't have anything on the cafeteria, [15:09] Fumio     but it looks like the page before this one is missing. [15:13] All     Huh? [15:14] Fumio     You can read this part with a page missing, [15:16] Fumio     but since it looks like a code, [15:18] Fumio     I'm sure something came before it. [15:21] All     What?! [15:22] Ichigo     Then... [15:23] Akari     If we know what was on the previous page, [15:25] Akari     we might be able to figure this out! [15:27] Nozomi     Do you have the log for this club? [15:30] Fumio     We don't have it here, [15:31] Fumio     but I believe there's a copy upstairs in storage. [15:34] All     Yay! [15:36] Momoko     Thank you very much! [15:48] Ichigo     Huh? The lights won't come on. [15:51] Yuzuko     It's kinda creepy in here. [15:54] Nae     It almost feels like a ghost could pop out. [15:58] Akari     If this were a zombie movie, zombies would     totally be waiting to ambush us here! [16:03] Nozomi     Don't say stuff like that... [16:08] Yuzuko     Hm... It's not here. [16:13] Yuzuko     Did you find it? [16:15] Ichigo     No, I thought they were peaches... [16:19] Yuzuko     I don't think any would be up here. [16:22] Ichigo     Sorry. [16:23] Yuzuko     Jeez. [16:24] Yuzuko     If you guys don't look, it's going to get late... [16:30] Momoko     Sorry. [16:32] Yuzuko     I'm the only one who's actually looking here... [16:36] Yuzuko     Come on. [16:48] Yuzuko     I'm sorry, I'm sorry! [16:49] Yuzuko     Miyauchi-san, calm down! [16:51] Nozomi     A ghost! A ghost! A ghost! [16:54] Yuzuko     Come on... [16:57] Akari     Miyauchi-san, calm down, please! [17:10] Yuzuko     What are you doing? [17:12] Akari     It was just a little joke. [17:14] Yuzuko     That's not a joke! [17:15] Akari     Really? [17:17] Akari     I thought it would work well as shock therapy. [17:23] Yuzuko     Yeah, but now she's seriously shocked. [17:30] Akari     Everyone! I found it! [17:32] Ichigo     Amari-san, way to go! [17:35] Akari     Here it is! [17:37] Akari     "Clad in red clothes, standing in the golden field. [17:43] Akari     Forge lost connections, [17:45] ---     and lead the people to the cafeteria." [17:49] Momoko     Red clothes? [17:50] Nae     So, red uniforms? [17:52] Ichigo     Are the third-years' uniforms red? [17:55] Akari     No, it could be clothes bathed in blood! [17:58] Yuzuko     That can't be it. [18:00] Nozomi     Red is the color of a leader! [18:02] Yuzuko     What are you going on about, Miyauchi-san? [18:04] Ichigo     I'm more curious about this "golden field" part. [18:08] Nae     A golden field in the school? [18:13] Momoko     In that case... SIGN    Gardening Club [18:17] Haruko     A golden field, huh? [18:21] Yuzuko     Yeah. Is there anything gold-colored in the     gardens the gardening club manages? [18:26] Haruko     Golden... Golden... [18:30] Haruko     I can't think of anything... [18:34] Haruko     But if you consider yellow a shade of gold, we do. [18:38] Yuzuko     What is it? [18:40] Haruko     There are yellow tulips, and yellow pansies. [18:45] Ichigo     Sunflowers are yellow, too. [18:48] Haruko     Yeah. [18:49] Yuzuko     I see! Thank you. [18:51] Nae     But what's the "red clothes" part about, then? [18:56] Yuzuko     It could be what Kohinata-san said before, [19:00] Yuzuko     the third-years' uniforms. [19:03] Yuzuko     "Clad in red clothes, standing in the golden field..." [19:08] Yuzuko     So, the third-years stand in     a field of golden flowers, [19:11] Yuzuko     and then after everyone makes up, [19:13] ---     they eat together in the cafeteria. [19:16] Yuzuko     Maybe that's a little contrived... [19:18] Nae     That's great, Yuzuko-chan! [19:20] Nozomi     Suddenly Hazuki-san's way into it now, too. [19:24] Yuzuko     Trying to solve it got to be really fun. [19:27] Momoko     But if it's only about third-years... [19:31] Momoko     I don't think it'll work for me. [19:33] Momoko     Nagiko-chan-senpai is a second-year. [19:36] Yuzuko     Oh... [19:37] Momoko     Ah, but don't worry about me. [19:40] Momoko     Let's work to the end to figure out the code. [19:43] Akari     Okay, everyone, let's go take a look! [19:46] All     Yeah! [19:57] Haruko     Pansies and tulips are spring flowers. [20:01] [SONG] All     Flower garden      currently closed SIGN    Wait until spring [20:01] Haruko     And sunflowers bloom in summer. [20:05] Haruko     You'll have to wait a bit longer     for the field to become golden. [20:14] Nozomi     W-Well, I guess we can't help that. [20:18] Nozomi     The code probably only works in the spring. SIGN    Sweet Potatoes SIGN    Only 150 [20:34] Yuzuko     What is it, Momo? [20:36] Momoko     The potatoes. [20:37] Yuzuko     Huh? [20:37] Momoko     The sweet potatoes! [20:39] Yuzuko     What? [20:40] Yuzuko     What are you talking about? [20:42] Momoko     Red clothes and a golden field... [20:45] Momoko     Could this be... [20:48] Yuzuko     Wait— [20:48] Yuzuko     Hold on, Momo! SIGN    Sweet Potatoes      Gardening Club [20:57] Haruka     Oh, everyone... [21:00] Haruka     Look at this.

[21:11] Akari     So this is what it meant! [21:13] Haruka     I've dug up a bunch, [21:15] Haruka     so please take some home with you. [21:19] All     Yay! [21:25] Haruko     It made you that happy? [21:33] Momoko     Nagiko-chan-senpai, [21:36] Momoko     what are you doing? [21:37] ---     Huh? Oh... [21:39] Nagiko     The sweet potatoes seem really     popular, so I got in the line, but... SIGN    Sweet Potatoes SIGN    Only 150 [21:45] Nagiko     There aren't many left, so I'll probably miss out. [21:48] Nagiko     What about you, Momoko? [21:49] Momoko     Nagiko-chan-senpai, come with me. [21:52] Nagiko     Huh? What? [21:58] Haruko     She's not here yet? [21:59] Haruko     There she is! Over here! [22:05] Nagiko     Sweet... potatoes? [22:08] Haruka     Momoko-chan made them. [22:10] Nagiko     Momoko did? [22:14] Yuzuko     I'd like to thank you all for coming today. [22:18] Yuzuko     We've prepared sweet potatoes to     thank you for all you do for us. [22:23] All     Time to eat! [22:30] Nagiko     These are good. [22:38] Yurara     Huh... [22:40] Yurara     Is this really what that code meant? [22:44] Akari     What? [22:46] Yurara     Oh, nothing. [22:50] Nozomi     I'll take another. [22:51] Ichigo     Me, too. [22:53] Momoko     Nagiko-chan-senpai, [22:54] ---     sorry for causing you so     much trouble all the time. [22:58] Momoko     Also, thank you for everything. [23:02] Nagiko     Shiina-san was absolutely right. [23:05] Momoko     Huh? [23:06] Nagiko     My classmate told me yesterday. [23:10] (Flashback) Haruka     And it's terribly rude for people to     assume we're unreliable, too. [23:14] (Flashback) Nagiko     You're the one who said that, Haruka. [23:16] (Flashback) Nagiko     She doesn't think anything like that. [23:18] (Flashback) Haruka     You're right. I just thought I'd say it. [23:22] (Flashback) Nagiko     Well, it's a light music club tradition. [23:26] (Flashback) Nagiko     If we build too many walls between the grades, [23:28] (Flashback) Nagiko     it's hard to work together as a band. [23:31] (Flashback) Nagiko     That's why we're used to speaking     frankly with each other. [23:34] (Flashback) Kokomi     But if you can keep that kind of connection, [23:37] (Flashback) ---     you must care about each other a lot, right? [23:42] (Flashback) Kokomi     You can't do that if you're too polite     or too friendly just for the sake of it. [23:47] (Flashback) Kokomi     It's because you're truly considerate     and grateful to each other [23:50] (Flashback) Kokomi     that everyone in your club can be so close. [23:54] (Flashback) Kokomi     Even if everyone is in different grades. [24:01] Kokomi     Thanks for everything, Momoko. [24:07] Momoko     Yeah!
