[00:02] Saki
The first time I met her, I knew instantly...
[00:05] Saki
She must've been Kuro-kun's first love.
[00:25] (Flashback) Rikka
She seems nice, Kuro.
[00:27] (Flashback) Kuro
This is my girlfriend and my senpai
in college, Yumihara Saki-san.
[00:32] (Flashback) Saki
I-It's nice to meet you!
[00:36] (Flashback) Saki
Well, I'll be at the café downstairs.
[00:39] (Flashback) Kuro
Huh?
[00:39] (Flashback) Saki
I'd just be in the way here.
[00:41] (Flashback) Saki
I just wanted to say hello.
So you can take your time, okay?
[00:46] (Flashback) Saki
If you'll excuse me.
[00:54] Saki
So she's Kuro-kun's...
[00:58] Saki
But it seemed like she was
[01:00] Saki
silently...
[01:02] Saki
silently corrupting those around her.
[01:04] Saki
That's how she seemed.
[01:07] (Flashback) Woman 1
I heard Sakuragawa-san was taken to
the operating room again yesterday.
[01:11] (Flashback) Woman 2
Really? She tried to kill herself again?
[01:14] (Flashback) Woman 1
Maybe the rumor that she's tried to
kill herself multiple times is true.
[01:18] (Flashback) Woman 1
I heard she doesn't have long to live.
[01:23] Saki
She was tying you down.
[01:28] Saki
But if going out with Iwanaga-san
will help you break free of that...
[01:31] Saki
I think it's a good thing,
despite feeling conflicted.
[01:39] Kuro
Saki-san, I do love Rikka-san,
and I might be tied down,
[01:45] Kuro
but I do sometimes wish she wasn't around.
[01:49] Saki
That she wasn't around?
Didn't Rikka-san pass away?
[01:54] Kuro
Rikka-san hasn't passed away.
[01:57] Kuro
That's not possible.
[02:02] Kuro
Saki-san, Rikka-san is my cousin.
[02:06] Saki
Don't tell me she's also... a Sakuragawa.
[03:43] Kotoko
I screwed up... I screwed up so bad.
[03:47] Kotoko
How could I create time for Kuro-senpai
and Saki-san to be alone together?!
[03:51] Kotoko
What in the world happened?
Why are things so awkward now?!
[03:56] Kuro
Iwanaga.
[03:58] Kuro
This would be a good time
to replenish some nutrients.
[04:01] Kuro
It's about time for
Steel Lady Nanase to appear.
[04:06] Kuro
If I'm here,
[04:07] Kuro
the ayakashi that come to tell you about
Steel Lady Nanase might get scared.
[04:11] Kuro
Saki-san, I'll be waiting by the exit.
[04:14] Saki
All right. Then I'll be in
the car with Iwanaga-san.
[04:18] Kotoko
Saki-san just had someone
close to her get murdered,
[04:21] Kotoko
and now she and Kuro-san,
who's such a kind person...
[04:24] Kotoko
They are a man and woman who
planned to get married at one point.
[04:28] Kotoko
I was asleep for about an hour and a half.
[04:31] Kotoko
You could do a lot in an hour and a half...
[04:35] Kotoko
And I mean a lot!
[04:40] Saki
Iwanaga-san.
[04:43] Saki
Have you ever met Rikka-san?
[04:45] Kotoko
Yes, I have, but...
[04:47] Kotoko
The hospital where Rikka-san was admitted
was also where I was staying.
[04:52] Saki
I see. So you know that she also ate
the flesh of a kudan and a mermaid.
[04:58] Kotoko
Senpai mentioned that he
hadn't told Saki-san about
[05:01] Kotoko
Rikka-san's condition...
[05:04] Kotoko
Is she trying to get me to spill something?
[05:06] Kotoko
Oh, very well.
[05:08] Kotoko
I do, because Rikka-san was
also feared by the monsters.
[05:13] Kotoko
Though she and Kuro-senpai
haven't told me the details,
[05:17] Kotoko
she was apparently hospitalized
[05:18] Kotoko
long-term so that her body and
abilities could be examined.
[05:23] Saki
Is that what it was?
[05:24] Saki
How is she lately?
[05:27] Kotoko
She was living in my mansion
up until a month ago.
[05:31] Saki
What?
[05:32] Kotoko
She was suddenly discharged
at the beginning of the year.
[05:35] Saki
But why would she go to your house?
[05:38] Kotoko
As his girlfriend, how could I possibly
let her and Kuro-senpai live together?
[05:44] Kotoko
Rikka-san was discharged
due to the appointment of
[05:48] Kotoko
a new hospital director and the
resulting change in political climate.
[05:52] Kotoko
Because the hospital really didn't
know what to do with her, either.
[05:56] Kotoko
I'm sure there were many who
were happy to see her go.
SIGN Sakuragawa Rikka-sama
[06:00] Kotoko
And because of that, there were rumors
that Rikka-san didn't have long to live.
[06:07] (Flashback) Director
So what do you say? How do you feel
about leaving the hospital soon?
[06:10] (Flashback) Doctor
Do you really have to say it like that?
[06:13] (Flashback) Doctor
What if she resists?
[06:15] (Flashback) Director
Then she'll leave us no choice.
[06:18] (Flashback) Rikka
All right. I understand.
[06:22] (Flashback) Rikka
Thank you for all you've done for me.
[06:24] (Flashback) Rikka
I need to get my things together,
so could you call my cousin Kuro?
[06:30] (Flashback) Kuro
Rikka-san.
[06:32] (Flashback) Kuro
Given your rather sudden discharge,
do you have a place to stay?
[06:36] (Flashback) Rikka
Not yet.
[06:37] (Flashback) Kuro
What?
[06:38] (Flashback) Rikka
Let me stay at your place for a while.
[06:43] (Flashback) Kuro
You can't! My place is really small!
[06:46] (Flashback) Rikka
I can't?
[06:49] (Flashback) Rikka
I'll do the housework for you.
[06:52] (Flashback) Kuros
House... work...?
[06:55] (Flashback) Rikka
Welcome home, Kuro.
[07:00] (Flashback) Rikka
Your bath is ready.
[07:03] (Flashback) Rikka
Goodnight.
[07:07] (Flashback) Rikka
Did I say something strange?
[07:09] (Flashback) Kuro
No! But, I mean... I only have one bed...
[07:13] (Flashback) Rikka
Well, you do live on your own.
[07:15] (Flashback) Kuro
Wh-Which is exactly why...
[07:18] (Flashback) Kuro
I know! I'll talk to Iwanaga about it.
[07:21] (Flashback) Kuro
Iwanaga's parents know a lot of people,
[07:23] (Flashback) Kuro
so they might be able to think of something.
[07:26] (Flashback) Rikka
You don't have to go through all that.
[07:28] (Flashback) Rikka
If I can't stay at your place,
I could always stay in a park...
[07:30] (Flashback) Kuro
Iwanaga? There's something
I want to talk to you about.
[07:34] (Flashback) Kotoko
Kuro-san! What is it? It's unusual
for you to turn to me for help.
[07:38] Kuro
You see—
[07:38] (Flashback) Kotoko
Wait.
[07:42] Kotoko
Allow me to charge you a consultation fee.
[07:45] (Flashback) Kuro
Really? The Goddess of Wisdom is
going to charge a consultation fee?
[07:49] (Flashback) Kotoko
Indeed. Depending on the client,
I'd prefer favors or offerings over cash.
[07:54] (Flashback) Kotoko
I won't be asking for much.
[07:56] (Flashback) Kuro
But this discussion might involve you, too...
[07:58] (Flashback) Kotoko
Kuro-san, where are you right now?
[08:02] (Flashback) Kotoko
The special lecture you wanted to attend
at the university is happening right now.
[08:08] Kotoko
Yet you're contacting me and
asking me for something.
[08:13] Kotoko
This is no ordinary matter.
[08:14] Hospital broadcast
It is now 5:00 PM.
[08:15] (Flashback) Kotoko
And that very familiar recording
I hear over the phone...
[08:19] (Flashback) Kotoko
You're at the hospital right now.
[08:21] (Flashback) Kotoko
Which means that this has to do
[08:24] Kotoko
with Rikka-san.
[08:27] Kotoko
So I should be allowed to be
a bit forceful about this.
[08:32] (Flashback) Kotoko
Fear not. I wouldn't ask
for anything too difficult.
[08:38] (Flashback) Kuro
Let's hear the conditions.
[08:39] (Flashback) Kotoko
Let me have the spare key to your apartment.
[08:43] (Flashback) Kuro
Don't be ridiculous.
[08:44] (Flashback) Kotoko
What's ridiculous about your
girlfriend asking for the spare key
[08:46] (Flashback) Kotoko
to your apartment?!
[08:48] (Flashback) Kotoko
It's not like I plan to do anything bad.
[08:51] Kotoko
Wouldn't it be lovely to have your
girlfriend do your housework
[08:54] (Flashback) Kotoko
and welcome you home?
[08:57] (Flashback) Kuro
House... work...?
[09:00] (Flashback) Kotoko
Welcome home!
[09:02] (Flashback) Kotoko
I didn't cut any corners preparing
your meals or your bed!
[09:05] (Flashback) Kotoko
Bathing together! Bathing together!
[09:08] (Flashback) Kotoko
Sleeping together! Sleeping together!
[09:11] (Flashback) Rikka
Kuro! I found a nice place to stay.
[09:14] (Flashback) Kuro
Huh?!
SIGN Steamy
SIGN Napping rooms available!!
SIGN Health Land
SIGN The biggest bathhouse in the world
[09:16] (Flashback) Rikka
Here it is.
[09:19] Kuro
Okay. I'll give you my key, so help me out.
[09:23] (Flashback) Kotoko
This makes me so happy.
[09:25] (Flashback) Kotoko
At last, I'm your common-law wife!
[09:27] Kuro
Yeah, no.
[09:29] Kotoko
And so I went to pick them up immediately,
[09:32] Kotoko
and Rikka-san left the hospital behind.
[09:37] Kotoko
So, yes...
[09:38] Kotoko
We had plenty of vacant rooms
at my house, so I welcomed her.
[09:42] Kotoko
I mean, she was a mysterious
patient who had been
[09:45] Kotoko
in the hospital for five years.
[09:46] Kotoko
So after she left, rumors spread
that she had passed away.
[09:50] Saki
And those rumors somehow reached me?
[09:53] Kotoko
In reality, she was doing rather well.
[09:56] Kotoko
Rikka-san is quite beautiful
and very well-mannered,
[09:59] Kotoko
so my aunt welcomed her with open arms.
[10:02] Saki
So Rikka-san didn't hate you?
[10:05] Kotoko
Why do you just assume she hated me?
[10:10] Kotoko
When I first met Rikka-san...
[10:16] (Flashback) Rikka
Kuro, I don't think she's
a good match for you.
[10:25] (Flashback) Kuro
I completely agree!
[10:26] (Flashback) Rikka
Huh?
[10:26] Saki
That's cringe-worthy.
[10:28] Kotoko
Yes. We all cringed.
[10:32] Kotoko
Rikka-san even tried to remedy the situation.
[10:35] (Flashback) Rikka
I mean, she's not good for you,
[10:37] (Flashback) Rikka
but she might not be the
worst for you, either.
[10:39] Saki
You actually made Rikka-san feel bad?
[10:41] Kotoko
You bet I did.
[10:43] Kotoko
After that, we made up, and occasionally
went out together without Kuro-senpai.
[10:47] Kotoko
We would even throw birthday parties
for each other—with cake, of course!
[10:50] Saki
Just the two of you?!
[10:51] (Flashback) Kotoko
Happy birthday!
[10:55] (Flashback) Rikka
Thank you!
[10:56] (Flashback) Kotoko
Yay!
[11:00] Saki
Then what's she up to now?
[11:02] Saki
You said she was at your place
until a month ago, right?
[11:05] Kotoko
We don't know where she is right now.
[11:07] Saki
Huh?
[11:08] Kotoko
A month ago, she told my parents
that she had officially found
[11:11] Kotoko
a job and a place to stay, and she left.
[11:15] Kotoko
We couldn't contact her on her cell,
[11:17] Kotoko
and the new address and workplace
she'd given us were fake.
[11:20] Saki
What did Kuro-kun do after he heard that?
[11:23] Kotoko
Senpai went berserk and pushed me down...
[11:26] Kotoko
Then, as if to vent his
frustrations, he forcefully...
[11:29] Saki
Answer the question seriously.
[11:32] Kotoko
Nothing, at first. He just said that
Rikka-san probably had something in mind.
[11:37] Kotoko
But two weeks later, he started trying
to get a hold of her repeatedly,
[11:41] Kotoko
then he sent me a single
message and disappeared.
SIGN Kuro-senpai
SIGN no subject
SIGN Something came up. Don't look for me.
[11:45] Kotoko
So, Saki-san, what's bothering you?
[11:48] Kotoko
What did you and Senpai talk
about while I was asleep?
[11:53] Saki
I guess it didn't take you long to realize that
Rikka-san was behind Steel Lady Nanase.
[11:58] Saki
Kuro-kun didn't come here
because you called him.
[12:02] Saki
He was looking for Rikka-san.
[12:05] Kotoko
Something must've gotten them
to talk about Rikka-san.
[12:09] Kotoko
Not that I really care that she found out.
[12:13] Kotoko
So nothing happened between them.
[12:16] Kotoko
I can relax, then.
[12:18] Saki
Why did you hide it from me?
[12:21] Kotoko
Because I didn't have any proof.
[12:23] Kotoko
Even when she was at my place,
Rikka-san would mess with the computer,
[12:28] Kotoko
but I never actually looked
at what she was doing.
[12:31] Kotoko
I never would've thought that she was
[12:33] Kotoko
creating a wiki page and bringing
Steel Lady Nanase to life.
[12:38] Kotoko
And I didn't really know
about Steel Lady Nanase
[12:41] Kotoko
until the monsters came to talk to me.
[12:44] Kotoko
I only realized that Rikka-san
was involved when I saw
[12:47] Kotoko
the picture on the wiki page I'd
found when doing some research.
[12:52] Saki
Picture? You mean the picture
that's on the main page?
[12:55] Kotoko
Yes, precisely.
[12:57] Kotoko
It was painted in Rikka-san's style.
SIGN She Who Spins Fiction
[13:13] Kotoko
I believe it was about a year ago...
[13:15] Kotoko
She suddenly became very
serious about painting.
[13:20] Kotoko
Looking back on it now,
[13:22] Kotoko
I believe Rikka-san intended to create
[13:24] Kotoko
a monster of the
imagination even back then.
[13:27] Kotoko
In order to consolidate
hundreds of thousands
[13:29] Kotoko
of fantasies and give them a shared vision
of a monster, name and shape are key.
[13:34] Kotoko
The most effective way would be to
illustrate the story with a picture.
[13:38] Kotoko
When shown it, everyone would
have the same image in mind.
[13:43] Kotoko
I'm sure Nanase Karin's accident
gave her the perfect material.
[13:47] Kotoko
Though only known to some,
she was still an idol in the public eye.
SIGN Nanase Karin's True Form
[13:51] Kotoko
She was involved in a dark scandal
and died a very dramatic death.
[13:54] Kotoko
Add a ghost to the mix,
[13:56] Kotoko
and it has ample opportunity to
evolve into a yokai or urban legend.
[14:01] Kotoko
There might've already been rumors
[14:03] Kotoko
of the ghost of Nanase Karin
appearing in Makurazaka City,
[14:07] Kotoko
but the one who amplified them was Rikka-san.
[14:12] Kotoko
I'm assuming the one who gave her
the name "Steel Lady Nanase"
[14:15] Kotoko
and made up the accompanying
stories was also Rikka-san.
[14:20] Kotoko
Kuro-senpai realized this, too.
[14:23] Kotoko
While he was looking for Rikka-san,
[14:25] Kotoko
he heard rumors about Steel Lady Nanase
and sensed something.
[14:29] Kotoko
And after he saw the picture on
the Steel Lady Nanase wiki page,
[14:31] Kotoko
he knew for sure, and so he came here.
[14:34] Kotoko
Saki-san,
[14:35] Kotoko
you're someone who decided to live
your life seeing only the real world.
[14:39] Kotoko
What will you do now that you
know what lies in the shadows?
[14:42] Kotoko
Kuro-senpai probably
[14:44] Kotoko
didn't tell you because he didn't
want to further involve you in this.
[14:48] Saki
I see.
[14:50] Saki
Because Rikka-san, who has the
same kudan ability to control
[14:53] Saki
the future that Kuro-kun does,
was pulling the strings,
[14:56] Saki
Steel Lady Nanase was able
to mature this quickly.
[14:59] Kotoko
That's very likely.
[15:01] Kotoko
Rikka-san probably died over
and over to get the future where
[15:04] Kotoko
people on the Internet wouldn't stop
talking about Steel Lady Nanase,
[15:07] Kotoko
and came back to life.
[15:10] Saki
But why would she do that?
[15:12] Saki
What good comes out of creating a
monster that will kill indiscriminately?
[15:16] Kotoko
She has the power to determine the future,
[15:18] Kotoko
but it's actually not all that impressive.
[15:22] Kotoko
Kuro-senpai says that, too.
[15:24] Kotoko
He can only choose a future that's
within the scope of his own talents,
[15:28] Kotoko
potential, and effort.
[15:30] Kotoko
Meaning he's not that different
from a normal person.
[15:33] Saki
But she successfully created a monster.
[15:36] Kotoko
She's probably trying to find out
[15:39] Kotoko
how far she can go with her
ability to decide the future.
[15:43] Kotoko
She stacks possibility upon possibility
[15:46] Kotoko
and chosen future upon chosen future.
[15:50] Kotoko
If you take a phenomenon that has
a fifty-fifty chance of happening
[15:52] Kotoko
and make it happen ten times in a row,
[15:54] Kotoko
you get a phenomenon that only has
a 1 in 1,024 chance of happening.
[15:58] Kotoko
You can toss a coin and have it come
up heads 10,000 times in a row.
[16:03] Kotoko
Normally, Steel Lady Nanase would
have little chance of coming to life,
[16:06] Kotoko
but she's one of those possible variations.
[16:14] Saki
It's not like you can get
anywhere by creating a monster.
[16:20] Goblin Cat
My lady.
[16:22] Goblin Cat
That infernal Steel Lady has appeared.
[16:24] Goblin Cat
Please come with us.
[16:27] Kotoko
It's just a goblin cat.
[16:28] Kotoko
There's no reason to be scared.
[16:31] Kotoko
It's time to go, Saki-san.
[16:34] Saki
Honestly...
[16:35] Kotoko
We'll put Rikka-san's goals aside for now
[16:37] Kotoko
and concentrate on defeating
Steel Lady Nanase.
[16:42] Kotoko
Whatever Rikka-san's goal may be,
it doesn't change anything.
[16:48] Kotoko
This world is not uncertain.
[16:50] Kotoko
It may be full of yokai,
monsters, spectres, and demons,
[16:54] Kotoko
but there is reason that
cannot be overturned.
[16:59] Kotoko
And it's my duty to protect that.

You really want to see that?
[18:41] Kotoko
Because of the incident with Detective Terada,
[18:43] Kotoko
I'm sure people want more information
and want to say things.
[18:47] Saki
If the one managing the site is Rikka-san,
[18:49] Saki
couldn't she censor or
even delete your posts?
[18:54] Kotoko
Rikka-san wouldn't do that.
[18:56] Kotoko
If she censors or deletes any posts
concerning doubts about ghosts,
[19:00] Kotoko
that'll give the impression that
[19:02] Kotoko
the admin has some kind of
problem with those posts.
[19:07] Kotoko
That'll get users to believe that these
posts are being censored or deleted
[19:10] Kotoko
because the ghost doesn't actually exist.
[19:14] Kotoko
That would be disadvantageous for someone
who wants Steel Lady Nanase to exist.
[19:21] Kotoko
So she has no choice but to
leave all the posts alone.
[19:28] Saki
I see. You mentioned that you
came up with four solutions.
[19:33] Saki
But does it really just come down to numbers?
[19:35] Kotoko
Sometimes, numbers are all you need
for lies to break through the truth
[19:38] Kotoko
and create a new truth all together.
[19:42] Kotoko
What's about to take place on
the Steel Lady Nanase wiki page
[19:46] Kotoko
may resemble a committee to discuss
a proposed bill in a parliament,
[19:50] Kotoko
board of directors, or board of trustees.
[19:54] Kotoko
The matter up for discussion
[19:55] Kotoko
is if there really is a ghost
named Steel Lady Nanase or not.
[20:02] Kotoko
Rikka-san has already gained majority support,
[20:05] Kotoko
and she has plenty of data
and a well-grounded argument
[20:07] Kotoko
to support her existence.
[20:09] Kotoko
So will I be able to somehow overturn
the majority opinion and win the vote?
[20:13] Kotoko
This is where my true skills come in.
[20:16] Saki
If she's already won the majority,
[20:19] Saki
won't it be near impossible
to reverse the situation?
[20:21] Kotoko
Yes.
[20:22] Kotoko
If this was a normal parliament
or board of directors,
[20:24] Kotoko
those with voting rights
would have formed alliances.
[20:28] Kotoko
And there are too many risks in declaring
the opposite opinion at the last minute.
[20:33] Kotoko
But the ones who have the voting
rights in this committee
SIGN Anon
[20:35] Kotoko
are everyone viewing the site.

Their opinions are everything.
[20:43] Saki
So irresponsible judges who
have no idea they're involved.
[20:47] Saki
That's scary in and of itself.
[20:49] Kotoko
Correct.
[20:50] Kotoko
But if you look at it another way,
[20:52] Kotoko
it's because this assembly
bears no responsibility
[20:55] Kotoko
that nothing will hold them back.
Not the law, justice, or even the truth.
[21:00] Kotoko
Even if the solution is unjust or untrue,
[21:04] Kotoko
as long as the majority
of the tens of thousands
[21:06] Kotoko
of the site viewers support it, we win.

[21:08] Kotoko
If we present a plausible story
[21:11] Kotoko
that fits with enough of the
facts and is interesting enough,
[21:14] Kotoko
the masses will irresponsibly
support it and vote in our favor.
[21:18] Kotoko
Which means anything goes
with this committee.
[21:22] Kotoko
We can obscure and hide the
real data, call black "white,"
[21:27] Kotoko
and present several contradicting answers.
[21:29] Kotoko
As long as they seem reasonable at a
glance and are entertaining enough...
[21:36] Kotoko
Then we can turn fiction into fact.
[21:40] Kotoko
We can actually get away with that here.
[21:48] Kotoko
I will stop at nothing to win.
[21:51] Kotoko
I will put everything I have into these lies.
[22:01] Kotoko
The committee to conquer
Steel Lady Nanase is now in session!

[23:46] Kotoko
Does Steel Lady Nanase actually exist?
[23:48] Kotoko
Or is she nothing more than an
urban legend that someone made up?

A battle of truth and lies is
about to begin over her existence.

Next time, "The Committee to
Conquer Steel Lady Nanase."
