[00:04] (Flashback) editor 1
    Pardon me for asking, but how old are you?
[00:08] (Flashback) editor 2
    These tense, bottled-up emotions...
[00:11] (Flashback) editor 3
    Rather than detract, they bring an energy
    that befits a young writer.
[00:16] (Flashback) editor 4
    The overall aim of the plot is interesting,
[00:18] (Flashback) editor 4
    but it feels overcomplicated,
    with too many extraneous elements.
[00:22] (Flashback) editor 5
    This sort of melodrama doesn't really
    suit someone of your stature.
[00:26] (Flashback) editor 1
    The speech, mannerisms, and perspectives
    of the characters really reflect this era.
[00:29] (Flashback) editor 2
    And the themes have a universality to them.
[00:35] (Flashback) editor 4
    The themes are run-of-the-mill,
    and the premise isn't convincing.
[00:39] (Flashback) editor 4
    You're only writing to
    suit yourself, aren't you?
[00:42] (Flashback) editor 5
    I think you need a more innovative angle.
[00:49] editor 4
    Pardon me for asking, but how old are you?

[03:28] Adashino; telepathy
    Oh. I forgot about Sumireko-san.
[03:32] Oto; telepathy
    About that... Is she your girlfriend?
[03:36] Adashino; telepathy
    Of course not.
[03:37] Adashino; telepathy
    She's my senpai from work.
[03:39] Adashino; telepathy
    You could say she's done a lot for me.
[03:42] Adashino; telepathy
    But then she got mixed up
    with a Curiosity and nearly died.
[03:46] Adashino; telepathy
    I couldn't just stand by and watch.
[03:50] Adashino
    First, we need to do something
    about these panties on display.
[03:53] Adashino
    Oto, do you have any spare clothes with you?
[03:57] Adashino
    Huh? Are you angry?
[04:03] Adashino
    Will that butt even fit in these?
[04:06] Oto; telepathy
    Ren-nii.
[04:08] Oto; telepathy
    Are you going to look for another Curiosity?
[04:11] Adashino; telepathy
    Of course I am.
[04:14] Oto; telepathy
    I might know of one.
[04:17] Adashino; telepathy
    Where?
[04:18] Oto; telepathy
    My school.
[04:24] Adashino
    Koone Girls' Academy?
[04:27] Sumireko
    "You... grow older..."
[04:30] Oto
    She just...
[04:46] Adashino
    Did you put them on?
[04:48] Sumireko
    Since you're the one asking,
    I'm not against doing this, but...
[04:53] Sumireko
    Is this really necessary?
[04:57] Adashino
    That works surprisingly well.
[05:00] Sumireko
    Why do you even have a uniform like this?
[05:03] Adashino
    Starting today, I'd like you to
    become one of Oto's friends.
[05:08] Sumireko
    Hey. You owe me an explanation, youngster.

[05:13] Sumireko
    Curiosities?
[05:14] Adashino
    Yes. For example, you've heard of mysterious
    disappearances caused by spirits, right?
[05:20] Sumireko
    Oh, kamikakushi? There was
    a famous one described in...
[05:24] Sumireko
    Hirata Atsutane's Senkyou Ibun.
[05:24] [SONG] text
     Senkyou Ibun
[05:28] Adashino
    You're as well-read as
    I'd expect, Sumireko-san.
[05:32] Adashino
    I believe that the ones
    spirited away in this fashion
[05:36] Adashino
    may be those deemed unnecessary
    in their original world.
[05:43] Sumireko
    What are you planning to make me do?
[05:49] Adashino
    My little sister Oto attends
    Koone Girls' Academy,
[05:52] Adashino
    where it seems that troublesome
    phenomena have been taking place.
[05:55] Adashino
    I want to help her, but as it's an
    all-girls school, my hands are tied.
[06:00] Adashino
    So I'd like you to pose as a friend of Oto's
    and infiltrate the school in my place.
[06:13] Sumireko
    All right. I'll do it.
[06:15] Adashino
    What?
[06:17] Adashino
    Are you sure? It's a totally unreasonable
    request, if I do say so myself.
[06:20] Sumireko
    Uh, I don't think you should
    be saying that yourself.
[06:23] Adashino
    So why, then?
[06:25] Sumireko
    I am the author Ogawa Sumireko.
[06:29] Sumireko
    That's enough reason in itself, isn't it?
[06:38] Sumireko
    That said, I think squeezing
    into this uniform is a lost cause.
[06:43] Sumireko
    Any other ideas?
[06:44] Adashino
    I do believe we have a
    light of hope in that regard.
[06:48] Adashino
    In taking on the poem's curse, you have
    become a curse of sorts yourself—
[06:53] Adashino
    a "Bearer of Youth," if you will.
[06:53] [SONG] text
     Bearer of Youth
[06:56] Adashino
    As such, Sumireko-san, you should be able
    to freely invoke the transformation.
[07:00] Sumireko
    What?
[07:02] Adashino
    Even into a high schooler.
[07:04] Sumireko
    What?
[07:05] Adashino
    Try standing there and reciting the spell.
[07:09] Sumireko
    All right, but...
[07:13] Sumireko
    "In the heavens, the sun and moon shine.
    You are like them in my thoughts,
[07:18] Sumireko
    and I regret that with each
    new day, you grow older."
[07:24] Adashino
    Looks like it succeeded.
[07:28] Adashino
    You've lost that sexy,
    older woman appeal, though.
[07:31] Oto
    Hey.
[07:32] Sumireko
    You could stand to sound
    a little happier about it.
[08:29] Sumireko
    Where is this place?
[08:35] (Flashback) Adashino
    Koone Girls' Academy is a prestigious school,
    founded over a hundred years ago.
[08:40] (Flashback) Adashino
    It's a combined middle and high school,
[08:42] (Flashback) Adashino
    and students can enroll at any level,
    so it should be easy to slip in.
[08:49] Adashino
    They have a rigorous school culture
    that honors public morals and tradition,
[08:53] Adashino
    but currently, they have been experiencing
    a series of inexplicable phenomena—
[08:56] Adashino
    no, inexplicable incidents.
[08:59] Oto
    Good day to you.
[09:00] young man
    Oh.
[09:01] young man
    Good mor—
[09:04] Sumireko
    Oto-chan, that young man was so captivated
    by you that he walked into a signpost.
[09:09] Sumireko
    Along the path to school, running
    straight along an embankment,
[09:13] Sumireko
    a multitude of cultured young
    ladies walk in procession.
[09:17] Sumireko
    What a sight for sore eyes
    this school commute is!
[09:20] Sumireko
    Can you feel the tsunami of youth, Oto-chan?
[09:24] Oto
    Yes.
[09:25] Sumireko
    It feels like the opening scene from an old
    TV drama that exemplifies adolescence! Right?
[09:30] Oto
    Um...
[09:33] Oto
    Could you not be quite so
    familiar with me... please?
[09:36] Sumireko
    Huh? Sure... Huh?
[09:40] Nodoka
    Occhan!
[09:43] Nodoka
    Good day to you!
[09:45] Oto
    Good day to you, Nodoka, Mari.
[09:47] Mari
    Occhan, who is this?
[09:50] Sumireko
    Oh, nice to meet you! I'm—
[09:53] Oto
    This is Wakazukuri-senpai.
[09:55] Sumireko
    Huh?
[09:56] Mari
    P-Pardon me for not knowing,
    Wakazukuri-senpai!
[10:00] Nodoka
    We must hurry!
[10:02] Mari
    Yes!
[10:07] Oto
    I will never accept someone like you.
[10:10] Oto
    Stop i-ingratiating yourself with Ren-nii!
[10:13] Sumireko
    I'm...
[10:15] Oto
    You... lonely apartment wife!
[10:17] Sumireko
    L-Lonely...
[10:24] Sumireko
    If I've done something to offend you,
    please let me apologize!
[10:27] Sumireko
    Even so, though! That's no reason to call
    someone an "apartment wife" as an insult!
[10:38] Sumireko
    Incidents?

[12:11] Sumireko
    I...
[12:12] Sumireko
    I...
[12:14] Sumireko
    I planned to spend the day chattering gaily
    with beautiful middle and high school girls.
[12:19] Sumireko
    So why have I instead spent the last
    six hours and fifty-one minutes
[12:24] Sumireko
    thoroughly acquainting my rump
    with every contour of this toilet seat?!
[12:30] Oto
    Here.
[12:34] Sumireko
    We're at an all-girls school, and you're
    telling me to eat in the bathroom?
[12:38] Sumireko
    What happened to chattering gaily?
[12:40] Oto
    That wasn't part of the plan.
[12:43] Oto
    And it never will be.
[12:45] Sumireko
    Never?
[12:49] Sumireko
    Wait, please!
[12:52] Sumireko
    Where are you going?
[12:54] Oto
    A place where a Curiosity probably was.
[12:56] Sumireko
    "Probably was"?
[13:05] Oto
    Here.
[13:07] Oto
    There's a sign here that something happened.
[13:11] Sumireko
    I don't see anything.
[13:14] Oto
    I knew you wouldn't.
[13:17] Sumireko
    I won't make fun of you. Just tell me.
[13:20] Sumireko
    I love these kinds of stories!
[13:25] Oto
    The thing that's here...
[13:27] Oto
    is a trace left behind by something that
    happened—a sense of something wrong.
[13:31] Oto
    By way of convenience,
    Ren-nii calls them Markers.
[13:35] Sumireko
    So, if there's a place with
    one of these Marker things,
[13:39] Sumireko
    that means there was some
    kind of Curiosity there before.
[13:42] Sumireko
    Is that right?
[13:45] Oto
    That's right.
[13:46] Oto
    You believe me?
[13:48] Sumireko
    Not yet.
[13:53] Sumireko; internal
    This girl is adorable.
[13:57] Sumireko
    But I've decided to try to believe you.
[14:00] Oto
    Huh?
[14:01] Sumireko
    You were clearly scared of that Marker.
[14:04] Sumireko
    Your finger was trembling.
[14:07] Sumireko
    But you still explained it to me
    in spite of that, didn't you?
[14:10] Oto
    Y-Yes.
[14:19] Sumireko
    How long have you been able
    to see a Marker here?
[14:22] Oto
    Since about a month ago.
[14:26] Tamao
    A red-faced Occhan and an unknown senpai,
    leaving the bathroom together?
[14:30] Tamao
    This is a huge scoop!
    It'll shake the whole industry!
[14:34] Erika
    Are you from some gossip tabloid?
[14:37] Mari
    You're being rude to our senpai, Tama-chan!
[14:41] Mari
    I'm so sorry, Wakazukuri-senpai.

    What? This is the Wakazukuri-senpai
    I've been hearing about?

    Right? Right?
[15:16] Tamao
    Mari, no fair! Monopolizing
    Occhan is prohibited by law!
[15:20] Tamao
    She has to come to me, too!
[15:22] Oto
    Mari's lap is better.
[15:26] Tamao
    I've been rejected!
[15:29] Tamao
    Hey, have you heard the rumor?
[15:32] Erika
    What rumor?
[15:33] Tamao
    Apparently, Akemi-chan and
    Mika-san from Class 3 kissed.
[15:38] Erika
    Akemi? She's going out
    with Hitomi, isn't she?
[15:41] Mari
    Could it be an affair?
[15:43] Tamao
    Outrageous. They'll throw the
    school order into disarray.
[15:46] Erika
    And Akemi's the lewd type, so she'll come
    up and go straight for the breasts, y'know?
[15:50] Tamao
    She hasn't touched mine.
[15:53] Nodoka
    I get hugged a lot.
[15:56] Erika
    Nodoka, you definitely shouldn't
    let people do that to you.
[16:01] Tamao
    Oh! Wakazukuri-senpai is in high school,
    so she should have lots of experience!
[16:06] Nodoka
    Who have you made out with,
    and what was it like?
[16:09] Mari
    Tell us your super-sensual
    personal experiences.
[16:11] Erika
    Have you experienced a steamy romance?
[16:17] Sumireko
    Well, yes. Of course I have.
[16:20] Sumireko
    I tear up every man that approaches me
    and toss them aside. Tear and toss.
[16:27] Mari
    High school students really are amazing.
[16:31] Tamao
    What about a steamier story?
[16:34] Tamao
    A super explicit one?
[16:36] Erika
    Tama-chan, you're a little too serious
    about this. Why all the enthusiasm?
[16:41] Tamao
    Well, I mean...
[16:43] Tamao
    Nothing provocative happens at this school.
[16:47] Tamao
    There's no bullying at all. It's so peaceful,
[16:51] Tamao
    it's actually sort of creepy.
[16:54] Sumireko
    There's no bullying at all?
[16:56] Sumireko
    In a school with this many students,
    that'd take a miracle. It's hard to believe.
[17:02] Mari
    I think it's nice that it's so peaceful.
[17:05] Sumireko
    But lately, more and more students
    have been failing to attend, right?

    "Dribblers."
[17:33] Sumireko; internal
    The name of a strange yet frequent
    occurrence at this school.
[17:37] Sumireko; internal
    A student will suddenly have their body
    grow as hot as if it were burning,
[17:41] Sumireko; internal
    and then they'll collapse.
[17:43] Sumireko; internal
    After that, they'll start drooling excessively.
[17:48] Sumireko; internal
    It seems to strike at random times,
    without any pattern,
[17:50] Sumireko; internal
    and no attempt at treatment
    has been effective,
[17:52] Sumireko; internal
    but when the afflicted students
    go home, they get better.
[17:55] Sumireko; internal
    And if they return to school,
    the symptoms return.
[17:59] Sumireko; internal
    That's why those students, fearing
    a relapse, fail to attend school.
[18:05] Sumireko
    I see.
[18:10] Erika
    But forget all that.
    How about those sexy stories?

    there's something I want to ask you.
    Please come with me.
[18:59] Uname
    I want you to tell me honestly.
[19:02] Sumireko
    Tell you what?
[19:06] Uname
    You're being bullied, aren't you?
[19:15] Uname
    I'm on your side, okay?
[19:18] Uname
    You can take it slowly, but won't you
    please tell me what's going on?
[19:21] Sumireko
    No, I'm all right.
[19:24] Sumireko
    Really.
[19:26] Sumireko
    I've had the cruel reality that I don't fit in
    with these young people shoved in my face.

    I'm trembling over that. That's all.
[19:36] Uname
    I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions!
[19:39] Sumireko
    No, it's all right.
[19:42] Uname
    I saw them restraining you
    by your arms, so I panicked.
[19:45] Uname
    I messed up big-time. How embarrassing.
[19:49] Sumireko
    Not at all.
[19:51] Uname
    Say, Wakazukuri-san,
    do you have a dream or a goal?
[19:58] Sumireko
    A dream, huh?
[20:01] Sumireko
    I've always wanted to be a novelist.
[20:07] Sumireko
    So my dream is to write a real
    page-turner... I suppose.
[20:16] Sumireko
    What's wrong?
