**[00:00] Reigen**
We're almost at Mt. Mud Boat.
**[00:03] Reigen**
By the way, why are we here again?
**[00:06] Mob**
Um...
**[00:07] Inukawa**
This place always has a
lot of UFO sightings,
**[00:11] Inukawa**
and most of them seem to happen
around the same time on New Year's Eve.
**[00:15] Kijibayashi**
And this phenomenon apparently
occurs every seven years.
**[00:20] Kijibayashi**
The last time there was a
sighting was seven years ago.
**[00:23] Inukawa**
At least, that's what this article said.
**[00:26] Reigen**
Well, all this information
is rather convenient.
**[00:32] Reigen**
You've got this, Mob. We're almost there,
so don't go puking on me.
**[00:37] Saruta**
This road sure is something.
**[00:39] Reigen**
There's supposed to be a
hiking trail somewhere.
**[00:42] Kijibayashi**
Huh?
**[00:43] Tome**
What's wrong?
**[00:44] Kijibayashi**
I think we passed the sign for
the hiking trail a ways back...
**[00:48] Tome**
Uh, why didn't you mention that earlier?
**[00:51] Kijibayashi**
I just thought he was trying to take us
as far as he could with the car.
***SIGN*** Licensed driver with little experience: 10 years
**[00:56] Tome**
Ugh!
**[00:57] Takeuchi**
We're gonna have to go in reverse until
we find enough space to make a U-turn.
**[01:02] Takeuchi**
It's only 1:30 PM, so there's
probably no reason to hurry.
**[01:06] Tome**
Yeah, says the guy who was an hour late.
**[01:11] Inukawa**
Hey, let's calm down.
**[01:13] Inukawa**
The UFO's not gonna come if we're too angry.
**[01:15] Tome**
Huh?
**[01:16] Tome**
Are you mocking me?
**[01:18] Tome**
And after I canceled my plans for
New Year's Eve to be here.
**[01:21] Inukawa**
*The hell'd you just say?*
***SIGN*** The hell'd you just say?
**[01:22] Inukawa**
*You were being all pouty,*
***SIGN*** You were being all pouty,
***SIGN*** so we were trying to be nice
**[01:25] Inukawa**
*so we were trying to be nice!*
**[01:26] Green**
The hell's with that attitude?
**[01:27] Inukawa**
*The hell's with that attitude?*
**[01:28] Inukawa**
N-Now, now...
**[01:35] Reigen**
Okay, time to put this baby in reverse.
**[01:39] Reigen**
M-Mob!
***SIGN*** Mob Psycho
***SIGN*** Transmission 2
~Encountering the Unknown~
**[03:23] Saruta**
Are you okay?
**[03:25] Inuta**
Thank goodness. There's reception.
**[03:27] Kijibayashi**
Oh, you're right.
**[03:28] Reigen**
All right. Let's walk back
towards the hiking trail.
**[03:32] Reigen**
I'll come back to get the car later.
**[03:36] Takenaka**
If we're going to walk, why don't we keep
going forward rather than go back?
**[03:39] Reigen**
Yeah, not happening.
**[03:41] Reigen**
Amateurs shouldn't walk the game trails
of mountains they're not familiar with.
**[03:44] Reigen**
I won't be able to take any responsibility
if something happens to you kids.
**[03:48] Saruta**
Um... Sorry, I'm gonna go take a piss.
**[03:53] Reigen**
Mob, you should go, too.
**[03:57] Inukawa**
They don't seem to be coming back.
**[04:00] Tome**
They aren't going number two, are they?
**[04:03] Kijibayashi**
Did they get lost? I'll go take a look.
**[04:05] Reigen**
Hold it. It's dangerous to go alone.
We'll all go together.
**[04:09] Inukawa**
That way?
**[04:10] Tome**
No, it's that way.
**[04:22] Mob**
Which way did we come from again?
**[04:24] Saruta**
We've definitely lost the path.
**[04:28] Tome**
And now there's no reception.
**[04:31] Inukawa**
Uh, we're probably gonna be
in trouble if it gets dark.
**[04:34] Inukawa**
Sh-Should we head back down?
**[04:36] Reigen**
Whenever you get lost in the mountains...
**[04:38] Reigen**
I've heard that it's probably safer to
head up the mountain than try to go back down.
**[04:45] Reigen**
If we can get to a better vantage point,
**[04:47] Reigen**
we should be able to find a route.
**[04:49] Inukawa**
Oh, I see.
**[04:50] Reigen**
* I should've placed more obvious*
* markers along the way...*
**[04:54] Saruta**
* He sure seems knowledgeable,*
* even if he's an amateur.*
**[04:58] Inukawa**
Oh, crap! I left the book back in the car.
**[05:01] Kijibayashi**
What? You're kidding.
**[05:02] Saruta**
The one that has the spell for
the UFO summoning ritual?!
**[05:08] Tome**
It's no big deal.
**[05:17] Reigen**
Look, it's the mountain trail.
**[05:19] Inukawa**
I think we might just make
it if we keep going!
**[05:22] Tome**
Huh? Weren't we heading back?
**[05:26] Saruta**
We've come this far,
so let's actually summon a UFO!
**[05:30] Tome**
Yeah, that's not happening. We've been
messing up left and right all day.
**[05:35] Kijibayashi**
Seriously, Kurata...
**[05:37] Kijibayashi**
Who do you think Inukawa and Saruta
painstakingly planned this all out for?
**[05:41] Tome**
What? Really?
**[05:44] Tome**
Are you seriously trying to
blame this on me right now?
**[05:48] Tome**
I disbanded the Telepathy Club because
all of you never tried to do anything!
**[05:53] Tome**
Today's no different.
**[05:55] Tome**
I kept wondering if I should come or not!
**[05:58] Tome**
Because I didn't want this
very thing to happen.
**[06:01] Tome**
I only came because I believed you
when you said you found a telepathist.
**[06:06] Tome**
And yet you had the nerve to lie to me...
**[06:09] Tome**
None of you have any idea how I feel
getting my earnest hopes trampled on.
**[06:18] Tome**
How could you?!
**[06:19] Tome**
How could you?!
**[06:23] Reigen**
Anyway, there's really no point
in arguing right now,
**[06:26] Reigen**
so why don't we keep on walking?
**[06:28] Tome**
No, I'm going home! I'm leaving!
**[06:31] Tome**
I'm tired! I'm not climbing any farther!
**[06:35] Tome**
I'll go back alone, so all
of you can keep on going.
**[06:40] Mob**
Tome-san.
**[06:41] Mob**
Let's walk together.
**[06:49] Tome**
Okay, fine. I just need
to keep walking, right?
**[06:54] Reigen**
All right, let's go.
**[07:12] Reigen**
Man, we're high up.
**[07:14] Inukawa**
We did it.
**[07:15] Reigen**
4:19 PM...
**[07:18] Reigen**
We don't have much time before
the sun's gonna set.
**[07:21] Inukawa**
Well... According to the documents,
the UFO usually appears around 5 PM,
**[07:27] Inukawa**
so let's get ready to summon it.
**[07:31] Tome**
Are we really doing this?
Didn't you forget the book in the car?
**[07:35] Saruta**
Prez, you were always reading that book.
**[07:39] Saruta**
You don't have the spell to
summon aliens memorized?
**[07:44] Tome**
Of course I don't.
**[07:47] Tome**
Isn't it enough that we all climbed
to the top of the mountain together?
**[07:51] Tome**
We've already made plenty
of memories today.
**[07:54] Tome**
This is a great view.
**[07:58] Tome**
What are you doing, Takenaka?
**[08:04] Takenaka**
Ahem...
**[08:07] Takenaka**
Doofa stootoo ayaabagayari...
**[08:11] Takenaka**
Prooha komo hipakaeeh...
**[08:16] Takenaka**
After creating an 8 with the rocks and
setting a foot in either circle,
**[08:21] Takenaka**
close your eyes and chant while facing
in the southwest direction...
**[08:24] Takenaka**
Hands should look like this.
**[08:26] Takenaka**
I know you remember this, Prez.
**[08:30] Takenaka**
I got pretty serious researching all of this
and before I knew it, it was morning.
**[08:36] Inukawa**
So... you weren't late because you
overslept from being too nervous?
**[08:41] Takenaka**
This is way too embarrassing to even say.
**[08:44] Takenaka**
The last thing I wanted to do was mess it
up, so I figured I'd do whatever I could.
**[08:48] Tome**
You were that serious about this?
**[08:51] Takenaka**
Yeah, I am.
**[08:53] Takenaka**
I decided I'd help out because these
three were so serious about all this.
**[08:57] Takenaka**
So could you believe us already?
**[09:01] Tome**
But...
**[09:02] Takenaka**
"Even then, I'm scared of this going wrong.
**[09:06] Takenaka**
It's probably better to limit this
to chasing a fantasy.
**[09:11] Takenaka**
Maybe all that matters in this
is whether we had fun.
**[09:15] Takenaka**
Because my other memories with
everyone may all end up a joke, too.
**[09:21] Takenaka**
We almost got lost in the mountains because
I'm forcing my delusions on them.
**[09:26] Takenaka**
I don't want to face reality
any more than this..." Apparently.
**[09:30] Saruta**
No way! We don't think you're
forcing your delusions on us.
**[09:34] Inukawa**
This is something we wanted to do!
**[09:37] Kijibayashi**
Before the Telepathy Club disbands.
**[09:41] Tome**
Boys...
**[09:43] Tome**
Then...
**[09:44] Tome**
Then you should've just said so earlier!
**[09:47] Saruta; Inukawa; Kijibayashi**
*Would it kill her to be honest?*
**[09:49] Tome**
If that's the case, we're all doing this.
**[09:51] Tome**
Come on, start lining up those rocks.
**[09:54] All**
Doofa stootoo ayaabagayari...
**[09:57] All**
Prooha komo hipakaeeh...
**[09:59] All**
Doofa stootoo ayaabagayari...
**[10:02] All**
Prooha komo hipakaeeh...
**[10:02] Mob**
Master?
**[10:04] Reigen**
You said you researched this
all last night, right?
**[10:05] All**
Doofa stootoo ayaabagayari...
**[10:07] Reigen**
Are you sure you didn't
find out anything else?
**[10:08] All**
Prooha komo hipakaeeh...
**[10:10] All**
Doofa stootoo ayaabagayari...
**[10:10] Inukawa**
Huh? Is your master a telepathist, too?
**[10:13] Reigen**
No, I am not a telepathist...
**[10:16] Reigen**
but I can read minds by observing
the subtle changes in your aura.
**[10:21] Takenaka**
* Apparently, he's the kind*
* of guy that's a total liar*
**[10:23] Takenaka**
* but is good at reading people through*
* their actions and mannerisms.*
**[10:26] Tome**
Well, Takenaka?
Are you hiding anything else?
**[10:31] Takenaka**
Well, the author of that occult book
was arrested two years ago for fraud.
**[10:37] Takenaka**
The research in that book has no basis.
**[10:41] Takenaka**
Even this ritual is completely fake.
**[10:43] Inukawa**
Seriously?
**[10:45] Saruta**
So you're saying this is pointless?
**[10:47] Kijibayashi**
What the hell?
**[10:49] Takenaka**
I-I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
**[10:52] Takenaka**
I figured there was purpose in the
Telepathy Club working together, though.
**[10:56] Reigen**
And you're exactly right.
**[10:58] Reigen**
It's always worth it to do your best.
**[11:01] Reigen**
All of you ended up gathering
information and took action.
**[11:04] Reigen**
That's pretty impressive.
**[11:06] Reigen**
I'm sure this whole thing will always
be a precious memory of your youth.
**[11:11] Reigen**
It will always remain an important
experience in your hearts.
**[11:16] Reigen**
And you should be proud of that.
**[11:19] Tome**
Y-You're right. We all did our best.
**[11:22] Inukawa**
Y-Yeah.
**[11:24] Kijibayashi**
There's no denying that we
actually did work hard.
**[11:26] Saruta**
I guess...
**[11:27] Reigen**
All right. It's getting pretty
dark, so let's head back.
**[11:31] Mob**
What about the UFO sightings?
Were those also fake?
**[11:35] Takenaka**
No, apparently those really happened.
**[11:38] Mob**
I see.
**[11:46] Mob**
Then, let's do it.
**[11:47] Mob**
We haven't tried everything yet.
**[11:51] Mob**
Let's send out a telepathic message.
**[11:53] Mob**
I'll give it my all, too,
so let's all try again.
**[11:57] Tome**
Mob-kun...
**[11:59] Takenaka**
Prez, do you want to try it?
**[12:01] Kijibayashi**
Let's do it.
**[12:02] Saruta**
Yeah.
**[12:03] Inukawa**
Come on, President Kurata.
**[12:04] Tome**
Boys... Thank you.
**[12:35] Reigen**
Don't try moving too much.
**[12:38] Tome**
Did you try too hard?
**[12:40] Mob**
I-I'll be okay. But...
**[12:44] Mob**
Dang it... I guess it didn't work.
**[12:53] Tome**
Why all the long faces?
**[12:56] Inukawa**
I-I mean...
**[12:58] Tome**
Psychics and telepathists actually exist.
**[13:02] Tome**
I'm sure we'll be able to
communicate with aliens someday!
**[13:06] Tome**
Just look at how many stars are in the sky!
**[13:11] Tome**
There's no reason to hurry.
**[13:13] Tome**
I'm having plenty of fun being
with all of you, so it's fine.
**[13:20] Tome**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Mob Psycho
***SIGN*** Line up the rocks and
Doofa stootoo
ayaabagayari!!
***SIGN*** Mob Psycho
***SIGN*** An Unidentified
Flying Object
Actually Existed!
**[13:35] Reigen**
Is this for real?
**[13:36] Takenaka**
It actually came?
**[13:38] Tome**
Wai—Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
What am I supposed to do?!
**[13:42] Inukawa**
Y-You're the one who wanted
to meet the aliens, Prez!
**[13:46] Tome**
Y-Y-Yeah, b-but...
**[13:49] Inukawa; Saruta; Kijibayashi**
Prez! Behind you! Behind you!
**[13:50] Inukawa; Saruta; Kijibayashi**
S-Something's coming!
**[13:52] Tome**
That was quick!
**[13:53] Tome**
Uh, I... D-D-Do we have anything?!
Like a bug-catching net?
**[13:57] Inukawa**
Why are you thinking about capturing them?!
**[13:59] Inukawa**
Who knows what'll happen
if we make them mad?!
**[14:07] Reigen**
Th-This is what aliens look like?
**[14:11] Tome**
Thin limbs...
**[14:13] Tome**
Giant, developed heads...
Super-smooth skin...
**[14:17] Tome**
Humongous, sparkly eyes...
**[14:20] Tome**
There's no doubt about it.
They're the real deal!
**[14:23] Reigen**
They really do seem otherworldly...
**[14:27] Reigen**
I wonder if we can communicate with them.
**[14:29] Mob**
They have really pretty eyes, though.
**[14:32] Takenaka**
I don't sense any malice.
**[14:34] Inukawa**
It seems like they want to shake hands...
**[14:36] Tome**
Wait, with me?
**[14:37] Tome**
I-I'd be honored!
**[14:39] Tome**
I can't believe I get to greet them on
behalf of Earth before anyone else!
**[14:43] Reigen**
Hey, I really wouldn't!
**[14:44] Reigen**
You never know what kind of
germs they're carrying.
**[14:47] Mob**
Master...
**[14:57] Inukawa**
Good for you, President Kurata.
**[15:07] Takenaka**
Apparently, they want to show us
the inside of their spacecraft.
**[15:09] Saruta**
Really?!
**[15:10] Inukawa**
Sweet! That's awesome!
**[15:12] Kijibayashi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[15:16] Reigen**
A-Are you sure it's okay to get on?
**[15:20] Mob**
I'll go, too.
**[15:25] Reigen**
In for a penny, in for a pound, I guess...
**[15:51] Tome**
This really reminds me of our club room.
**[15:58] Inukawa**
They're, like, super friendly.
**[16:02] Kijibayashi**
I sorta figured they'd be kinda scary.
**[16:06] Inukawa**
Prez, it's always been your dream to
interact with extraterrestrial lifeforms, right?
**[16:11] Inukawa**
This is your chance to ask them all kinds of
things with Takenaka as your interpreter!
**[16:15] Takenaka**
Yeah, I think I can make it work.
**[16:18] Tome**
R-Right... Um... Uh...
**[16:31] Tome**
I can't think of anything.
**[16:34] Inukawa**
Oh, I know.
Why don't we play some games?
**[16:37] Inukawa**
I always have this thing on me.
**[16:42] Tome**
Nice! Let's show them how it works!
**[17:22] Reigen**
It's a new year...
**[17:25] Reigen**
All this is going on, yet all I can think
about is the turn of the year
**[17:29] Reigen**
and the late fees for the rental car...
**[17:33] Reigen**
They're blinding...
**[17:39] Kijibayashi**
Whoa, it's almost morning.
We should head home soon.
**[17:43] Inukawa**
You're right.
**[17:44] Inukawa**
I, at least, told my parents I was spending
the night at a friend's house, but...
**[17:48] Inukawa**
I mean, I guess we're all
friends now anyway.
**[17:54] Takenaka**
All right, let's start wrapping things up.
**[18:05] Inukawa**
I wonder if it's a gift.
**[18:07] Tome**
It's so pretty.
**[18:10] Takenaka**
It's a token of their friendship, apparently.
**[18:17] Inukawa**
They just keep staring.
**[18:18] Inukawa**
Maybe we should give them
something in return?
**[18:22] Tome**
Then, I'll give them my scarf.
**[18:28] Kijibayashi**
Um... Then I'll give them this notebook.
**[18:32] Takenaka**
Here's my watch... It's pretty cheap, but...
**[18:35] Saruta**
You can have my gum.
**[18:37] Inukawa**
Here's this gaming console from Earth.
**[18:39] Mob**
Hm... I don't have anything.
**[18:42] Mob**
Maybe I can show them some of my powers.
**[18:47] Tome**
They seem pretty happy with that.
**[18:49] Mob**
Oh, that's good.
**[18:54] Tome**
Uh... Why are you stripping, Reigen-san?
**[18:57] Reigen**
I was in a hurry this morning, so I'm
still wearing my pajamas underneath.
**[19:02] Reigen**
You can have this.
**[19:04] Takenaka**
They're very happy.
**[19:05] Tome**
I guess anything goes.
**[19:14] Tome**
Thank you so much for coming to see us.
**[19:21] Tome**
Well, we'll be on our way now.
Let's meet again someday!
**[19:40] Reigen**
Hey, the first sunrise of the year.
**[19:44] Tome**
*I'll never forget today.*
**[19:47] Tome**
* I'm sure everyone else feels*
* the same... I just know it.*
**[19:54] Tome**
Hey, wait.
**[19:56] Tome**
Where's Inukawa?
**[20:09] Inukawa**
*New Year's Eve.*
**[20:11] Inukawa**
*I was taken away by a UFO.*
**[20:18] Inukawa**
* I'm going to try to convince them*
* to take me back to Earth.*
**[20:25] Inukawa**
*But I'm dealing with aliens.*
**[20:29] Inukawa**
*I can't communicate with them.*
**[20:31] Inukawa**
* This is probably going to be*
* a long, drawn-out battle.*
***SIGN*** New Year's Eve 201X
I was taken away by a UFO. I can't communicate with them because they're aliens.
They don't seem to have any ill will, though. THEY DON'T, RIGHT?!
I'm sure this is all some sort of misunderstanding. THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING, RIGHT?
Please let me go back to Earth. I'm going to try to convince them.
But this is probably going to be a long, drawn-out battle.
I think I'm going to keep writing down my progress in this notebook.
**[20:35] Inukawa**
* For now, I think I'm going to keep writing*
* down my progress in this notebook.*
**[20:42] Inukawa**
* The next day, they all threw me a*
* welcome party...? Or something.*
**[20:48] Inukawa**
* I had no idea what any of this stuff is,*
* but in the end, I chose something and ate it.*
**[20:54] Inukawa**
*After that, my memories are a little foggy,*
**[20:57] Inukawa**
*but I think something insane happened.*
**[21:07] Inukawa**
* When I came to, I was in another unfamiliar*
* place, and my head was killing me.*
**[21:14] Inukawa**
* That day, I realized just how much a*
* little bit of gaming time would mean to me.*
**[21:21] Inukawa**
*But, more importantly, I wanted to go home.*
**[21:27] Inukawa**
* The inhabitants of this planet*
* have a natural enemy.*
**[21:30] Inukawa**
* It's a savage monster that*
* tries to eat all of their crops.*
**[21:37] Inukawa**
*Despite being such an advanced race,*
**[21:39] Inukawa**
*they'd never thought of using weapons.*
**[21:49] Inukawa**
*And so, I took care of that pest for them.*
**[21:53] Inukawa**
* It ended up being about the size*
* of the dog I have back home.*
**[22:07] Inukawa**
* It might be because I slew their monster,*
* but they treated me like a hero,*
**[22:11] Inukawa**
* so life on this planet*
* isn't so bad after all.*
**[22:21] Inukawa**
* I have no idea how much*
* time has passed now.*
**[22:31] Inukawa**
Everyone!
**[22:33] Inukawa**
I have something I need to tell you!
**[22:41] Narrator**
On the brink of loneliness, Inukawa was
able to link his thoughts with the aliens
**[22:48] Narrator**
and tell them that he wanted
to go back home to Earth.
**[23:01] Narrator**
If you have something you want to
say, just look them in the eyes,
**[23:06] Narrator**
and you'll be able to get through to them.
**[23:09] Narrator**
Inukawa realized this, but by
the time he got back to Earth,
**[23:14] Narrator**
most of his memories had
become fuzzy and vague.
**[23:26] Mob**
What?
**[23:27] Mob**
You're joking, right?
**[23:28] Mob**
What?
**[23:29] Mob**
Really?
**[23:31] Mob**
Tsubomi-chan is... transferring?
