OUGI FORMULA
[00:02] ---
Do you know about the
"most beautiful formula in mathematics history"?
[00:06] ---
It's eiπ+1=0, what people call Euler's Identity.
[00:12] ---
The natural logarithmic base e,
[00:14] ---
the ratio of circumference to diameter pi,
the imaginary number i, 1, and 0
[00:18] ---
all fit into this equation with nothing superfluous,
and fit in such a way that it was meant to be.
[00:22] ---
If there is a god in this world,
[00:25] ---
this is a piece of evidence
that will be listed as one of the most credible.
[00:28] ---
WHAT'S AMUSING, OR AT LEAST BEAUTIFUL,
IS THAT THIS FORMULA WAS "PREDETERMINED."
[00:29] ---
IT'S BEAUTIFUL,
BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S ALSO SCARY.
[00:30] ---
And yet, Ougi Oshino - that transfer student -
just might throw out some candid advice
[00:36] ---
even for the beauty of Euler's Identity,
just like this:
[00:41] ---
Yes. It indeed is beautiful, Araragi-senpai.
[00:45] ---
Beautiful, so beautiful,
it just makes me swoon.
[00:49] ---
The most beautiful part about it
is that the answer is zero.
[00:53] ---
That said, someone like me thinks
that if the answer is going to be zero
[00:56] ---
there's really no need
to go out of your way to make the calculation.
[01:00] ---
Hearing that, I reconfirm my belief;
[01:03] ---
Ougi Oshino is Ougi Oshino,
and there's no way to express it.
[01:07] ---
Before her, everything is zero.
[01:10] ---
No matter what she does
that may seem out of character,
[01:12] ---
it always ends up
being something characteristic of her.
[01:14] ---
And so, this time,
we have a story about mathematics.
[01:18] ---
Let's study.
[01:20] ---
People tend to brace themselves
when they hear "mathematics".
[01:23] ---
So we can break it down
and say this is a story about "arithmetic" instead.
[01:26] ---
While we're at it, we can be more blunt
and say this is a story about "numbers."
[01:29] ---
After all, this is a story
where strength in numbers provides a solution.
[01:33] ---
In other words,
it's a story about majority rule.
[01:37] ---
Majority rule.
[01:39] ---
The only method that can
turn even a mistake into a truth.
[01:43] ---
A formula of building blocks
that pursues conspiring instead of happiness.
[01:48] ---
Our inequality. Our unfair equation.
[01:51] ---
INEQUALITY
[01:52] ---
UNFAIR EQUATION
[01:53] ---
What can truly be said as something humanity
has invented is probably this and only this.
[01:57] ---
And, this is the ugliest formula
in human history.

OUGI FORMULA
[03:37] ---
If you were with
an underclassman you've just met,
[03:41] ---
and you found yourselves trapped within a mysterious
classroom, and an hour had already passed...
[03:46] ---
If you've ever had such an experience,
I'd definitely like to seek your advice.
[03:50] ---
It's no good, Araragi-senpai.
[03:53] ---
Oh, that just now...
I didn't mean that you're no good at all, okay?
[03:57] ---
I've tried lots of things, but neither the
big windows or the upper ones will budge one bit.
[04:01] ---
That's what I meant.
[04:04] ---
No...
[04:06] ---
A misunderstanding
where I feel like I'm no good?
[04:09] ---
I hardly think this is a situation
where I could do that.
[04:12] ---
It's no good on my end either.
[04:14] ---
It doesn't feel like they're locked or anything...
[04:17] ---
Somehow, it feels more like they're held in place
by something like glue.
[04:22] ---
Yes. Just like I said before,
the window will not budge, even a tiny bit.
[04:26] ---
As for the locks, the crescent locks
that are fixtures of these windows do move.
[04:32] ---
However, the actual window frames don't move.
[04:35] ---
Right, so it "feels more like" they're held in place
by something like a glue.
[04:42] ---
We have no choice.
Let's wait for help from outside, Ougi.
[04:46] ---
Fortunately, the fact that we're here
is something Kanbaru knows about.
[04:50] ---
I don't know about that.
[04:51] ---
You're relying on someone else
to help you, Araragi-senpai?
[04:55] ---
All people can do
is save themselves on their own.
[05:00] ---
Yet...
[05:01] ---
Excuse me.
This was a principle that my uncle used.
[05:04] ---
It has nothing to do with me
or with you, Araragi-senpai.
[05:08] ---
But in any case, Araragi-senpai,
it's not a bad thing to rely on one's comrades.
[05:14] ---
But fundamentally, I don't think we should give up
trying to escape by our own strength.
[05:21] ---
Because...
[05:26] ---
The hands of the clock,
from the moment we entered this classroom...
[05:30] ---
They hadn't moved a minute...
not even a second.
[05:33] ---
Out of batteries?
I don't think it'd be anything like that.
[05:38] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI

[05:39] ---
Everything began on a certain day
at the end of October,
[05:41] ---
NAOETSU HIGH SCHOOL
[05:42] ---
roughly six months since spring break,
[05:45] ---
when I was assaulted by a vampire
with blonde hair and golden eyes.
[05:49] ---
Hey, Araragi-senpai!
It's me, Suruga Kanbaru!
[05:52] ---
Are you alone? Yeah, you're alone!
[05:54] ---
Actually, there's someone
I want to introduce to you, Araragi-senpai!
[05:59] ---
Isn't she cute?
[06:01] ---
So, what's with that girl?
You said you wanted to introduce her to me...
[06:05] ---
She said she had something she wanted advice about.
From you, Araragi-senpai.
[06:08] ---
So I want you to go meet her.
[06:10] ---
So, what's this advice that she wants?
[06:12] ---
I didn't hear all the details either,
but it's apparently some advice about apparitions.
[06:19] ---
Yeah, it somehow seems like
she knows something.
[06:22] ---
She knew about my left hand,
and also about your blood, Araragi-senpai.
[06:27] ---
She said she heard them all from her uncle.
[06:30] ---
Uncle...
[06:31] ---
She's a first-year that transferred into this school
just the other day.
[06:35] ---
Surprisingly enough,
she's apparently the niece of old Oshino.
[06:39] ---
Her name is Ougi Oshino.
[06:45] ---
This is strange.
[06:48] ---
Strange.
[06:49] ---
It is mysterious.
[06:51] ---
Mysterious.
[06:52] ---
In other words... It's suspicious.
[06:55] ---
Suspicious...
[06:56] ---
...and different.
[07:00] ---
This is strange...
[07:06] ---
Um, will you listen to me, Araragi-senpai?
[07:09] ---
Oh, well...
[07:11] ---
Too many school buildings,
or something like that?
[07:14] ---
Like how you can save costs enough for one whole building
if you think about the total number of students...
[07:19] ---
That's not it at all.
Are you a fool or something?
[07:23] ---
This is where I'm talking about.
[07:26] ---
Where?
[07:27] ---
Here. The layout is a bit odd here.
[07:30] ---
I guess more unnatural than odd?
[07:32] ---
See, look at the floors
right above and right below it.
[07:35] ---
Each of them have proper rooms here, right?
[07:38] ---
Then, this place which is in-between both of them
needs to have a room here, or it ends up being strange.
[07:44] ---
Strange...
[07:45] ---
But, there is a proper room here
on the 3rd floor, too. The audiovisual room.
[07:45] ---
AUDIOVISUAL ROOM
[07:50] ---
That's because the floor plan is mistaken.
[07:53] ---
Instead of mistaken,
more like it was drawn based on reality,
[07:57] ---
but the actual audiovisual room
isn't this long.
[08:01] ---
Compared to the others, it's drawn to be about
1.5 times longer than it actually is. Don't you notice it?
[08:07] ---
What's this? By any chance,
do you doubt me, Araragi-senpai?
[08:11] ---
It hurts me that
you'd doubt me, Araragi-senpai.
[08:15] ---
No, you don't like me enough
to be hurt by me doubting you.
[08:19] ---
No, no... I do fancy you quite a bit.
I fancy the fool that is easily deceived.
[08:27] ---
In mystery novels, when the floor plan
and reality don't match like this...
[08:32] ---
A majority of the cases ends up
having a hidden room at that location.
[08:36] ---
However, if this is some sort of phenomenon
caused by an apparition...
[08:41] ---
I thought it'd be better to investigate
before there's any damage done by it.
[08:46] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[08:58] ---
What? I wonder what this classroom is.
[09:01] ---
When I walked by here to make the floorplan,
this place didn't exist.
[09:07] ---
Such a mystery!
[09:09] ---
In any case... Let's try going in.
[09:26] ---
And that's how we got to where we are now.
[09:29] ---
What do you think about this, Araragi-senpai?
[09:32] ---
What do I think?
Well, nothing of any note, really.
[09:35] ---
But Ougi, if this was a phenomenon
caused by an apparition... what kind of apparition is it?
[09:40] ---
Who knows? Unlike my uncle,
I don't have much quaint knowledge.
[09:46] ---
I only know about the major apparitions
that show up in manga and in movies.
[09:49] ---
OUGI / KOYOMI
[09:50] ---
But, Araragi-senpai,
there is one thing I can say.
[09:54] ---
That is, an apparition has a reason
befitting it behind it...
[09:59] ---
WHICH MEANS, UNRAVELING THE REASON WHY
WILL LEAD TO OUR ESCAPE FROM HERE.
[10:01] ---
Even so, what meaning is behind this situation
where we can't get out of this classroom?
[10:05] ---
And about how the clock has stopped, too.
[10:08] ---
Perhaps the clock being stopped
is the key to all this, surprisingly enough?
[10:11] ---
Because it showing such a random time
does give a feeling of wrongness after all, right?
[10:16] ---
Speaking of 6:00PM, that's when
we have to leave this high school campus.
[10:20] ---
At a time when students
must go home from their classrooms,
[10:23] ---
this phenomenon locks students
inside the classroom.
[10:25] ---
What's the meaning behind it?
[10:28] ---
It's time to leave school,
but not being allowed to go home...
[10:32] ---
I guess you could call it
an overtime class or something?
[10:35] ---
Overtime...
[10:38] ---
Have you ever had it before, Araragi-senpai?
[10:40] ---
An experience of taking
overtime supplementary lessons.
[10:43] ---
I may look like this, but I do have pretty good brains,
so I don't recall anything much like that.
[10:48] ---
Me neither.
[10:50] ---
Oh, is that so?
[10:53] ---
In my case, even if I'm told to stay overtime
or to take supplementary lessons,
[10:56] ---
I end up ditching most of them.
[10:58] ---
But, yeah, last year, or two years ago...
especially when I was a first-year.
[11:04] ---
Back when I was a first-year?
[11:08] ---
What's wrong, Araragi-senpai?
[11:09] ---
Your flag color looks a bit off...
no wait, your facial color is a bit pale.
[11:14] ---
Is that so? Sorry,
I just had a slight dizzy spell.
[11:18] ---
No need to apologize. Not at all.
You don't have to apologize.
[11:22] ---
I'm sure that with an unreliable underclassman
before you so, your nerves must be strained.
[11:25] ---
Perhaps you've gotten a bit tired?
[11:28] ---
How about you sit in one of those chairs?
[11:42] ---
Why did you sit there?
[11:45] ---
What? You ask me why, but...
Wasn't it because you recommended it, Ougi?
[11:50] ---
No, no, I mean...
There are a lot of chairs in this classroom.
[11:54] ---
I'm asking why you chose that seat.
[11:59] ---
I just felt like it.
[12:00] ---
You just felt like it?
That seat was easy to sit at?
[12:03] ---
It looked like it was going to be
comfortable sitting there?
[12:05] ---
No, how comfortable it is won't change much
no matter which chair you pick, I think...
[12:11] ---
But, well...
[12:12] ---
But, well?
[12:14] ---
I'm used to sitting here.
[12:17] ---
That's how I felt.
[12:20] ---
Is that true?
[12:21] ---
What? What was that, Ougi?
[12:24] ---
No, I am merely going through
every single possibility.
[12:28] ---
One possibility is that perhaps you, Araragi-senpai,
sat in that chair in the past.
[12:33] ---
So once it came time to settle down into a seat,
can it be that you chose that seat without hesitation?
[12:39] ---
No, that's way too wild an idea.
[12:42] ---
Until just now, I didn't even know
that there was a classroom in this location.
[12:46] ---
As for me, when I investigated
around here for the first time,
[12:50] ---
a classroom like this didn't exist.
[12:52] ---
However, when I came here with you,
Araragi-senpai, this classroom appeared.
[12:57] ---
Then, to think that this classroom is somehow
associated with you is something very natural to me.
[13:03] ---
I guess that's how it works out.
[13:05] ---
Besides, you said so yourself,
Araragi-senpai...
[13:08] ---
that you somehow felt like
you've seen the scenery from this window.
[13:13] ---
Did I say such a thing?
[13:14] ---
You did. Right when we entered the classroom,
before we realized we'd been locked in here.
[13:20] ---
I don't recall saying so...
But since she clearly asserts so, I'm sure I did say it.
[13:27] ---
It's true that somehow...
[13:29] ---
My memory... is being stimulated.
[14:00] ---
My oh my. What's wrong, Araragi-senpai?
[14:03] ---
It doesn't seem like
you came up with an idea.
[14:06] ---
Perhaps I said something
without picking up some hint?
[14:10] ---
Something you didn't want to remember...
have you remembered something of that sort?
[14:14] ---
No, it's not something like that.
There's nothing that came back into my memory.
[14:18] ---
That's right...
Nothing has come back into my memory.
[14:22] ---
Because... I've never forgotten about it at all.
[14:26] ---
Because there's no way
I can forget an incident like that.
[14:28] ---
CLASS 1-3 / KOYOMI ARARAGI
[14:31] ---
What? Wasn't that textbook labeled "Araragi"?
[14:35] ---
That's strange, that's mysterious.
Why is that so?
[14:38] ---
Why is Araragi-senpai's textbook
inside this classroom?
[14:42] ---
Ougi... Do you know something?
[14:46] ---
I don't know anything.
[14:49] ---
You're the one that knows.
[14:57] ---
Ougi, is there anything
that can tell today's date around there?
[15:02] ---
The date, you say?
[15:03] ---
Yeah, today... No, I mean the date in this classroom.
I want to know what it is.
[15:09] ---
Something like that's
written on the blackboard.
[15:12] ---
Please take a look. See?
[15:13] ---
JULY 15 (THU)
[15:16] ---
Whoa. It was July 15th today.
[15:21] ---
Then, is it adequate to think of it like this?
[15:24] ---
In this classroom, on Thursday, July 15th,
around 6:00PM, something happened...
[15:30] ---
And I'm sure it was something
full of resentment.
[15:33] ---
And that resentment, like this,
has solidified into the form of an apparition.
[15:36] ---
There's no doubt about it.
[15:41] ---
That classroom on the fifth floor
of the building facing the gym.
[15:45] ---
Class 1-3 was right in the middle,
[15:47] ---
and after school on July 15th
a class assembly was being held.
[15:51] ---
A class assembly that you could call a trial.
[15:53] ---
Concerning a certain incident,
we denounced each other.
[15:58] ---
And I, Koyomi Araragi from class 1-3,
was at the center of said trial.
[16:05] ---
That's right. Wasn't it since that very day
that I started to say something of that nature?
[16:09] ---
"I don't need friends.
[16:12] ---
If I make friends,
my strength as a human decreases."
[16:16] ---
It was your pet phrase,
wasn't it, Araragi-senpai?
[16:19] ---
Though, ever since you had that experience
with Ms. Tsubasa Hanekawa,
[16:22] ---
you apparently never said it again.
[16:24] ---
Well, meeting people does change people, I guess.
[16:29] ---
Then, I shall ask out of curiosity.
[16:32] ---
In this classroom, in what way,
Araragi-senpai, did you change?
[16:36] ---
The folks in class 1-3...
How did they change you?
[16:40] ---
Change... me...
[16:42] ---
I heard that the you in middle school
and the you in high school
[16:45] ---
have drastically different personalities,
you know?
[16:47] ---
The reason behind it, perhaps,
is right here in this classroom?
[16:54] ---
What happened, Araragi-senpai?
In this classroom, that day, that moment...
[17:01] ---
Let's just talk about it, Araragi-senpai.
[17:04] ---
Koyomi Araragi.
[17:06] ---
You'll feel at ease once you talk about it.
[17:08] ---
No matter how horrible the memory,
after it all comes out it becomes just a story.
[17:12] ---
A story...
[17:14] ---
It's fine. I'll listen to it for you.
[17:17] ---
I may look like this,
but I am pretty understanding of things.
[17:24] ---
We can't get out.
[17:25] ---
Yes?
[17:26] ---
We can't get out.
[17:28] ---
Until we know who the culprit was,
we're not allowed to leave this classroom.
[17:33] ---
What we did... what we forced upon ourselves...
was a class assembly of that sort.
[17:39] ---
It may be a story hard to believe...
But there, I was the one presiding over the assembly.
[17:47] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[17:48] ---
TWO YEARS AGO
[17:57] ---
Her name was Sodachi Oikura.
[18:00] ---
She herself wanted to be called "Euler",
but in reality everyone called her "How much".
[18:06] ---
I'm sure it was a nickname
that came from her last name,
[18:09] ---
but because she looks at others
as though appraising them,
[18:12] ---
I think it was strangely appropriate.
[18:14] ---
SODACHI OIKURA
[18:18] ---
Prez Oikura.
[18:20] ---
Were you the one that called for me?
[18:22] ---
Hurry up and get in here.
Everyone's been waiting for you.
[18:33] ---
Inside the classroom,
the members of class 1-3 were all present.
[18:38] ---
Not one person was missing.
[18:40] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[18:40] ---
So, everyone, huh...
So I guess you have full members.
[18:46] ---
Right now, this is an empty classroom as you can see,
but then, every seat had been taken, huh?
[18:52] ---
I see, I see. Time flies like an arrow.
They say ten years can feel like one day.
[18:56] ---
TEN YEARS (CAN FEEL LIKE) ONE DAY
[18:57] ---
Yeah... No, but it's not ten years,
it's only two years.
[18:59] ---
TWO YEARS (CAN FEEL LIKE) ONE DAY
[19:00] ---
Well, if we start talking about details,
Oikura was standing at the teacher's desk.
[19:04] ---
On top of the teacher's desk?
[19:06] ---
Oikura wasn't that strange a class president.
[19:09] ---
Anyway, she was standing at the teacher's desk,
and made the declaration:
[19:14] ---
"Now, we will begin our special class assembly."
[19:19] ---
But that's rather mysterious.
[19:20] ---
Araragi-senpai, you didn't know that
this class assembly was being held
[19:24] ---
until right before it started, right?
[19:26] ---
That was simply a mistake
in relaying information, apparently.
[19:30] ---
Everyone in class was supposed to get
some kind of a network message that day,
[19:33] ---
whether it be a folded-up note, a text,
or stuff like that going around the class.
[19:38] ---
But not one of them reached me.
[19:42] ---
That's... What you would call the lone wolf?
[19:47] ---
That's somewhat a misunderstanding.
[19:48] ---
IT'S NOT A COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING, THOUGH.
KOYOMI ARARAGI = LONE WOLF
[19:49] ---
Ougi, this is a story of the process
[19:53] ---
in which someone with no friends
ends up not needing any friends.
[19:56] ---
Then, let me take a proper posture as I listen to it.
[19:59] ---
To this story about some special class assembly
or something like that.
[20:02] ---
Of today's discussion topic
at the class assembly...
[20:04] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[20:06] ---
First off, Oikura brought this subject up:
[20:09] ---
Today's topic is "figuring out the culprit."
[20:11] ---
Until we figure out the culprit,
or until the culprit speaks up on his own behalf,
[20:16] ---
I won't allow anyone out of this classroom.
Prepare yourselves for that.
[20:24] ---
I confirmed the seat of Hitagi Senjyogahara.
[20:27] ---
She was very frail in health,
[20:29] ---
and my image of her was that she didn't
come to school for even half of the first term.
[20:32] ---
Even she was here like this, so it could be assumed
that the situation was very serious.
[20:39] ---
"Figuring out the culprit"...
[20:40] ---
That doesn't sound too peaceful.
What in the world had happened?
[20:44] ---
CURRICULUM SCHEDULE
[20:44] ---
After school on the day
before final exams began,
[20:47] ---
we had asked for volunteers and held
a study group for mathematics in the classroom.
[20:47] ---
TEST SCHEDULE
[20:51] ---
INFORMATION ABOUT A STUDY GROUP
[20:52] ---
Apparently Oikura had participated
in this study group.
[20:55] ---
I see, a study group.
SIGN TEST RESULTS
[20:57] ---
But after the exams were over,
there was a discrepancy averaging 20 points
[21:01] ---
between those that participated in this study group,
and those that didn't.
[21:07] ---
Oikura's assertion was that this should be taken
as some sort of dishonest act happening.
[21:12] ---
That someone obtained the math exam questions
from the teachers' office
[21:16] ---
and discreetly used the contents of the exam
during the study group.
[21:20] ---
That was why the scores of the students
that joined the study group were all higher.
[21:25] ---

[21:26] ---
If there was someone who disgraced
the holy study group, as well as the sacred final exam,
[21:31] ---
that's something that cannot be forgiven.
[21:34] ---
Those that did not attend the study group
shouldn't feel that this has nothing to do with you, either.
[21:39] ---
This is an issue involving all of us,
the entirety of class 1-3.
[21:42] ---
I repeat—
[21:48] ---
Until we figure out the culprit,
or until the culprit speaks up on his own behalf,
[21:52] ---
I won't allow anyone out of this classroom.
Prepare yourselves for that.

[21:58] ---
That means, after that,
[21:59] ---
Oikura-senpai handed over the role
of presiding over the assembly to you?
[22:04] ---
The story was that you were the one
presiding over the assembly, correct?
[22:08] ---
Yeah, that's right.
That's where the presiding member changed.
[22:11] ---
PRESIDING MEMBER - KOYOMI ARARAGI
[22:12] ---
Why were you appointed to do so, Araragi-senpai?
[22:14] ---
CLASS 1-3 SEATING CHART
[22:15] ---
You realize that it would be bad for someone
who was part of the study group to preside over this, right?
[22:19] ---
That said, you can't say that just anyone
of those that remain can do the job, either.
[22:23] ---
After all, at the center of the issue
was the math exam.
[22:26] ---
You can't avoid inspecting the exam questions
as a topic for the debate.
[22:30] ---
That would mean that someone who doesn't
have a high math score can't preside either, right?
[22:35] ---
Sure, well... I guess that would be so?
[22:38] ---
But, those who were absent
from the study group;
[22:40] ---
those who chose not to go
to the study group in the first place,
[22:43] ---
their scores were on average 20 points
below those that went, right?
[22:47] ---
Is there such a person
among those that didn't go,
[22:50] ---
someone who scored well enough
to match those that did?
[22:53] ---
Of course there is.
[22:55] ---
But, I was the only one that scored better
than every single student that was in the study group.
[23:02] ---
That's why I was chosen
to preside over the assembly.
[23:05] ---

[23:10] ---
That was my score in mathematics
on the final exam.
[23:14] ---
Now, let's have you
move this along quickly, Araragi.
[23:21] ---
I think it came across already,
[23:23] ---
but the reason why Class President Oikura
hates me to a psychotic extent
[23:26] ---
is because I was good at math.
[23:29] ---
SODACHI OIKURA
[23:29] ---
She had strong conviction that the reason
why nobody called her "Euler" was because of me;
[23:33] ---
because I was always above her
when it came to math scores.
[23:33] ---
KOYOMI ARARAGI
[23:38] ---
Then...
[23:39] ---
To start, everyone that was part of the study group,
please raise your hand.
[23:44] ---
As a result, it became clear that there were
19 students that were part of the study group.
[23:49] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[23:52] ---
But that means you were able to
narrow it down to 19 suspects.
[23:56] ---
This gets me excited.
[23:58] ---
Well, saying something like that
is imprudent and might need repentance.
[24:03] ---
I'll say it right now, Ougi.
[24:06] ---
The culprit will not be determined
in this class assembly.
[24:10] ---
The situation gets as grim
as it can get,
[24:12] ---
and well, everyone gets worn out
and it ends without anyone figuring anything out.
[24:16] ---
And then...
[24:18] ---
Oh, so that's it!
[24:19] ---
I figured out how we can escape
from this classroom, Araragi-senpai.
[24:25] ---
In other words, by now solving this incident
that remained unsolved two years ago,
[24:29] ---
we can get out of here.
[24:33] ---
What do you mean by that?
[24:35] ---
"Until we figure out the culprit,
I won't allow anyone out of this classroom,"
[24:39] ---
is what Oikura-senpai said, right?
[24:41] ---
Reversing that, if we can determine
the culprit of that incident,
[24:44] ---
we can escape from this room.
That's what this means, right?
[24:49] ---
The regrets in the hearts of the students
in class 1-3 back then
[24:54] ---
probably materialized in the void
within this school.
[24:57] ---
If anything, I guess you can say
this is the ghost of the class assembly.
[25:00] ---
The ghost of the class assembly...
[25:02] ---
Are you saying I've been trapped by something
as incomprehensible as that? Why me?
[25:08] ---
Who knows?
[25:09] ---
It could be that you were the one
who took this the most to heart. Perhaps so.
[25:15] ---
JULY 15 (THU)
[25:15] ---
Because Araragi-senpai,
your life drastically changed on that day.
[25:20] ---
Drastically changed...
[25:21] ---
Ever since that day,
you've avoided thinking about that incident.
[25:25] ---
You've been evading it.
[25:26] ---
There hasn't been a day
where you've forgotten about it,
[25:28] ---
but there also isn't a day
where you've thought about it.

Then, Araragi-senpai, you were tossed
into the suspect list as well?
[26:20] ---
I guess that's what happened.
[26:22] ---
And, after that?
[26:24] ---
After that, Marizumi
[26:25] ---

objected, saying it was suspect as to whether
such a study group happened to begin with.

[26:33] ---
STUDY GROUP
[26:34] ---
But right afterwards, there was a statement
that the study group was indeed held.
[26:38] ---
Sunahama, the one assigned to daily duties
on the day of the math exam, came to school early.
[26:41] ---
RUISE SUNAHAMA
[26:42] ---
Apparently, she had to clean up after the study group
that left the classroom in a disarray.
[26:46] ---
Clean up?
[26:47] ---
Like lining the desks back up again,
erasing the chalkboard,
[26:50] ---
taking out the trash
from all the snacks, she said.
[26:53] ---
Tetsujo, who also came to school early
helped her out, apparently.

In reality, if someone were to do that,
someone would be sure to notice, Higuma said.
[27:09] ---
SEKIROU HIGUMA
[27:10] ---
He said that if something like that happened,
something somewhere would seem a bit forced.
[27:13] ---
I see. That is a valid point.
[27:15] ---
OIKURA DID NOT ALLOW THAT.
[27:15] ---
And then, Oikura...
[27:16] ---
SHE WAS PERSISTENT ABOUT CONTINUING THIS
"FIGURING OUT THE CULPRIT" ORDEAL.
[27:18] ---
Then, from here, we can verify
the specific contents of the exam questions.
[27:22] ---
Seeing how much overlap there is
[27:24] ---
between the problems in the study group
and the actual exam questions
[27:27] ---
should be determined based on the statements
from every member of the study group.
[27:30] ---

[27:34] ---
Being in the center of such ugly arguments,
meandering debates, and wasteful exchanges...
[27:40] ---
Araragi-senpai, you must have gotten sick
of organisms called human beings.
[27:47] ---
That's not it.
[27:48] ---
Oh?
[27:49] ---
Ougi. What I felt despair about
wasn't the debate, but the outcome.
[27:54] ---
THE FEELING THAT WE WERE MAKING THE CORRECT DEBATE
WAS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
[27:56] ---
Nobody had thought that the outcome
would be like that.
[27:59] ---
In pursuit of the just,
we made a definitive mistake.
[28:04] ---
And at that moment,
I had lost sight of my own sense of justice.
[28:08] ---
The outcome?
[28:09] ---
But the outcome was that
you didn't know who the culprit was, right?
[28:13] ---
It's true that if the outcome of the debate is such,
you'd surely feel that everything was pointless.
[28:17] ---
But it's not enough to feel despair about it, right?
[28:21] ---
Yeah. That's right.
We never figured out who the culprit was...
[28:24] ---
But it wasn't that
we didn't specify someone as one.
[28:27] ---
Huh?
[28:28] ---
That's the cause for despair.
The truth that even the unknown can be decided...
[28:34] ---
That was why I felt despair.
[28:36] ---
I DON'T NEED ANY FRIENDS.
[28:37] ---
I see... I see... I see...
[28:40] ---
Then, Araragi-senpai.
[28:42] ---
I'd like you to tell me what happened after that.
[28:46] ---
The time to leave school
is coming up soon, isn't it?
[28:50] ---
You held a debate for over two hours in a locked room,
and everyone should be at their mental limits.
[28:55] ---
And in that critical moment...
What kind of conclusion did you all come up with?
[29:00] ---
Where did you guys end up?
[29:04] ---
This is staying on my mind.
What happened?
[29:08] ---
Even if there are all sorts
of twists and turns,
[29:10] ---
somehow overcoming the many obstacles
and the confusion from rubbish,
[29:13] ---
if everyone, every single one,
fully becomes happy, I'd like that!
[29:19] ---

[29:30] ---
I've had enough. This is too tedious.
Let's just say I did it and end this debate.
[29:34] ---
You starting to say stuff like that is out of the question.
Are you covering for someone?
[29:38] ---
You must know who the culprit is, then!
[29:39] ---
In the first place, is there really a culprit?
[29:41] ---
We started talking on the assumption that there is one.
Don't bring that up again.
[29:44] ---
No, as a real question, is someone that would steal
exam questions from the teachers' office really among us?
[29:50] ---
Before we start talking about ethics,
it's more about whether or not that is physically possible.
[29:53] ---
No, I'm talking about whether or not
there's enough guts to do that.
[29:55] ---
Are you guys stupid?
[29:56] ---
Is there any meaning to having such a debate?
Everyone is just lying.
[29:59] ---
I can't bear to listen to this.
[30:00] ---
Nowadays, they make exam questions
on computers and stuff, right?
[30:02] ---
Even if you don't physically
walk into the teachers' office,
[30:02] ---
I'm sorry, can I ask you all to raise your hand
before speaking from hereon?
[30:03] ---
you can hack your way in
or something to steal them, can't you?
[30:05] ---
You've been watching too many dramas.
[30:06] ---
I'll repeat myself, but I think it was Oikura
that was teaching the last problem during the study group.
[30:11] ---
Though I can't be sure of it.
[30:12] ---
Don't say anything that you can't be sure of.
[30:14] ---
Can you hold responsibility
if you ruin someone's life because of it?
[30:16] ---
You've always been like that, too.
[30:19] ---
Please raise your hand.
[30:20] ---
You know, I want to go home already.
[30:22] ---
Can you do debates like this
somewhere that I'm not around?
[30:25] ---
I won't let you go home.
[30:26] ---
If you go home, they might make you
into the culprit, you know?
[30:28] ---
That's fine with me.
[30:29] ---
I'm sorry, everyone, can you all please calm down.
Let's all regain our cool.
[30:31] ---
Why are you acting so tough?
[30:32] ---
Like this is something we can stay cool about!
[30:34] ---
Please raise your hand to speak—
[30:35] ---
In the first place, Araragi got 100%
so this is a test that can be solved, right?
[30:39] ---
Why are we talking about cheating or dishonest acts?
It's nonsense.
[30:41] ---
You've been quiet all this time,
but what do you think about this, Senjyogahara?
[30:44] ---
I'm not quite sure.
[30:46] ---
Hey guys, I have something I want to say.
[30:47] ---
Save it for later!
[30:49] ---
Araragi, keep this progressing properly.
[30:51] ---
You say that, but...
[30:53] ---
In the first place, why did we
hold a study group for just math?
[30:56] ---
If there was one for history,
then I would have joined up.
[30:59] ---
Of course it's because it looks bad for
the math teacher if her homeroom class
[31:03] ---
had a terrible average score for math.
[31:05] ---
In other words, it's just for vanity.
[31:06] ---
It's what you can call
Miss Class President racking up brownie points.
[31:09] ---
That's not the reason at all.
[31:10] ---
It is because mathematics
is the most beautiful subject in all academics.
[31:14] ---
You're the only one that thinks that.
[31:16] ---
What's this about beauty?
So it really is just your convenience after all.
[31:19] ---
You can't understand the beauty of mathematics?
[31:21] ---
Damn you!
[31:22] ---
Please refrain from fighting.
[31:23] ---
We're not fighting.
It's because he started saying weird stuff...
[31:24] ---
I have an alibi!
[31:25] ---
We can't even determine when it was done,
how can you have an alibi?
[31:26] ---
Like it was weird for me to be in this high school.
[31:28] ---
I have a witness. There is someone
that would guarantee that I'd never do such a thing.
[31:28] ---
I didn't go that far!
[31:31] ---
We can't keep this going anymore.
This has gotten out of control.
[31:35] ---
Give me a break, Oikura. I can't handle this.
[31:38] ---
Let's end this before it gets any worse.
[31:41] ---
What are you whining about?
[31:43] ---
You got a better score than I did,
and you're going to give up?
[31:46] ---
Yeah, I'm going to give up. It's impossible.
[31:49] ---
Until we figure out the culprit...
I won't allow anyone to go home.
[31:52] ---
You can't do such a thing.
[31:54] ---
When the chime to leave campus sounds,
we're all going to go home.
[31:57] ---
You have a proper understanding of that, right?
[32:02] ---
I had forgotten...
just how much Oikura harbored a hatred for me.
[32:08] ---
I detest you.
[32:10] ---
Stuff like that is where you're terrible at.
[32:12] ---
Huh? That's my line!
[32:16] ---
Then we shouldn't have
held a study group to begin with!
[32:18] ---
Studying is something you—
[32:19] ---
Everyone!
[32:30] ---
I think we've done
more than enough debating.
[32:33] ---
So, I would like to take a vote now.
[32:36] ---
Who is the culprit?
We will decide by majority rule.
[32:40] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[32:41] ---
Oh, huh... So that's what you meant.
[32:44] ---
That's when the majority
of the class raised their hands,
[32:46] ---
and Araragi-senpai, you were
made out to be the culprit, right?
[32:50] ---
No.
[32:51] ---
The only person that raised their hand
to vote for me was Oikura.
[32:55] ---
The majority of the class raised their hands
for attendance number 6...
[32:59] ---
when it was time for Sodachi Oikura.
[33:05] ---
That look of despair on Oikura's face
I saw back then...
[33:08] ---
It's something I can't ever forget.
[33:10] ---
And to that despair...
I think I got roped in.
[33:14] ---
Ever since, whether it be for class or for exams,
she never once showed up to school.
[33:19] ---
Her name apparently is listed
on one of the rosters for third-years...
[33:25] ---
But I have no idea which class that is.
[33:28] ---
Ever since, the tendency to be absent,
the tendency to ditch school, ramped up.
[33:35] ---
To attend the school
that Oikura was not attending
[33:38] ---
started to give me a sticky feeling,
similar to that of guilt.
[33:42] ---
And ever since then, I - to this day -
have not gotten a perfect score in mathematics.
[33:50] ---
Is there a need for you
to shoulder so much, though?
[33:53] ---
In the first place, it was said that Oikura-senpai
was the front-runner of all suspects.
[33:59] ---
That class assembly wasn't something
someone suggested to her.
[34:02] ---
It was something she planned on her own.
[34:05] ---
If Oikura really was the culprit,
[34:07] ---
there wouldn't have been a need
to create such an assembly.
[34:10] ---
Just picking up on that one fact,
I can declare that Oikura wasn't the culprit.
[34:15] ---
I see... Declare, huh...
[34:19] ---
In any case, seeing truth be fabricated
right in front of your eyes...
[34:23] ---
Witnessing a stupid conclusion being drawn,
I couldn't contain myself anymore.
[34:29] ---
Something in me broke.
[34:32] ---
The moment when over half the class -
most of the students -
[34:35] ---
raised their hands simultaneously,
[34:37] ---
with no prior concerting or conference,
not even making eye contact.
[34:39] ---
The moment when truth had been decided...
[34:42] ---
The moment when justice had been settled...
[34:44] ---
I'd never seen a scary moment like that.
I lost sight at that moment.
[34:50] ---
No... I didn't lose sight. I lost it.
[34:54] ---
Until that moment,
I had believed in something like righteousness.
[34:58] ---
That there were things that were "right" in the world,
and it was about whether or not you could do it. But...
[35:04] ---
EVEN IF MISTAKEN, EVEN IF CRUEL, EVEN IF STUPID
[35:06] ---
IF MANY PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGE IT,
[35:07] ---
I FOUND OUT THAT IT CAN BECOME THE RIGHT THING.
[35:08] ---
I found out that righteousness
was able to be infinitely mass-produced.
[35:13] ---
I found out that righteousness
was established by the number of people.
[35:17] ---
I found out that maneuvering for a majority
was everything.
[35:20] ---
That is why I chose solitude over establishment.
[35:24] ---
I don't need friends, because if I make friends,
my strength as a human decreases.
[35:29] ---
In order to protect my own righteousness,
that was the only thing I could do.
[35:34] ---
This ended up being a long story,
but that is the story of Koyomi Araragi.
[35:39] ---
Thank you for listening, Ougi.
[35:41] ---
Oh, I guess it really is just like what you said.
[35:44] ---
Once I told the story, it really was nothing much,
and it made me feel at east.
[35:49] ---
I'm troubled.
[35:51] ---
I'm troubled if you feel at ease already,
Araragi-senpai.
[36:00] ---
Oikura-senpai wasn't the culprit,
and the story ends?
[36:04] ---
That means we can't
leave this classroom after all.
[36:08] ---
Have you forgotten?
[36:09] ---
In order to leave this classroom,
we need to identify who the culprit is.
[36:14] ---
The culprit that could not be identified on that day...
[36:16] ---
Not by majority rule....
[36:19] ---
We need to determine it ourselves.
[36:23] ---
The grudge Oikura had that day
created this classroom, perhaps?
[36:27] ---
If so, there is some inevitability
in how I became trapped in here like this.
[36:31] ---
OIKURA PERHAPS
[36:32] ---
STILL HASN'T FORGIVEN ME?
[36:33] ---
JUST LIKE THAT DAY
[36:34] ---
DOES SHE STILL HATE ME?
[36:35] ---
Well, I think Oikura-senpai
has forgotten about you already, maybe?
[36:39] ---
Things usually end up like that,
surprisingly enough.
[36:41] ---
Then, what in the world is this classroom—
[36:44] ---
Didn't I tell you?
[36:46] ---
This was a classroom that your heart created,
Araragi-senpai. That's what I think.
[36:50] ---
That's what I'm going to define this as...
a classroom that the heart - a sense of regret - created.
[36:56] ---
If, on that day, you were able to pin down
who the culprit was,
[36:59] ---
Sodachi Oikura would not have been ruined.
[37:01] ---
And you wouldn't have lost your righteousness.
[37:04] ---
The classroom was built
on such regrets you have.
[37:08] ---
You have always pursued after the righteousness
you had lost that day.
[37:12] ---
In order to regain the lost righteousness,
you created this classroom.
[37:18] ---
I did?
[37:19] ---
Is that possible?
Can I create a classroom like this...
[37:23] ---
But, each apparition has a reason befitting it.
[37:27] ---
If that's the case, for "me",
this is enough reasoning for this case.
[37:33] ---
I guess we have to do
the class assembly over again.
[37:36] ---
This time for sure, we need to find the culprit,
no, the true culprit...
[37:39] ---
Oh no, we already know
who the true culprit is, right?
[37:43] ---
I mean, Araragi-senpai,
you should actually know who it is, too...
[37:48] ---
Who was supposed to be denounced
at that class assembly?
[37:52] ---
Something like that was obvious
after hearing your story, Araragi-senpai.
[37:56] ---
Araragi-senpai, your feeling of "I feel so guilty"
towards Oikura-senpai is needlessly strong
[38:02] ---
because subconsciously
you know who the culprit is.
[38:05] ---
Otherwise, you'd never tell the story
in the way that you did.
[38:09] ---
The way that I did?
[38:12] ---
What in the world is this girl talking about?
[38:15] ---
What does she actually know?
[38:18] ---
I don't know anything.
[38:20] ---
You're the one that knows.
Araragi-senpai.... Koyomi Araragi.
[38:25] ---
I...
[38:27] ---
The great detective gathers everyone
and says, "Well..."
[38:30] ---
Since there is no great detective here,
I'll say it in his place.
[38:33] ---
Well...
[38:34] ---
Burned by her own karma and falling to ruin,
the dull-witted silly fool Sodachi Oikura.
[38:41] ---
In order to mourn for her, we shall solemnly go through
with "figuring out the culprit" that she wished for.
[38:45] ---
Whoops, this isn't good.
[38:47] ---
If this is a "figuring out the culprit",
this is the one thing that must be said.
[38:50] ---
Whether it's getting rid of apparitions or solving mysteries,
proper etiquette is important.
[38:55] ---
I challenge all you readers.
[38:58] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[39:01] ---
The culprit is Komichi Tetsujo.
[39:05] ---
Shall I continue?
[39:06] ---
Yeah.
[39:08] ---
Why did you think Tetsujo was suspicious?
[39:11] ---
Right when you entered the classroom,
I commented on how all the seats were filled.
[39:15] ---
You said that if we were to be precise,
Oikura-senpai's seat was empty.
[39:20] ---
That's how you replied.
[39:22] ---
But, don't you find this strange?
[39:24] ---
Araragi-senpai, your seat has to be empty as well.
[39:27] ---
Was someone sitting there?
[39:30] ---
For instance, the homeroom teacher?
[39:33] ---
SO, ARARAGI-SENPAI, IT WASN'T THAT
YOU WEREN'T PERMITTED TO SIT DOWN BY OIKURA-SENPAI,
[39:34] ---
BUT PERHAPS YOU WEREN'T ABLE
TO SIT DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
[39:35] ---
But, that said, that doesn't automatically mean
that Tetsujo is the culprit.
[39:39] ---
When the meeting became very complicated,
someone had mentioned
[39:43] ---
that the homeroom teacher for class 1-3
was a math teacher.
[39:46] ---
That position is not merely someone
who knows about the problems beforehand.
[39:49] ---
She is the one that creates the problems.
[39:51] ---
If so, she can just create exam problems
based on what the study group had covered.
[39:57] ---
Sunahama-senpai,
who had the daily duties the next day,
[39:59] ---
had whined about having to clean up
after the study group early in the morning.
[40:03] ---
And that Komichi Tetsujo
had helped her out with it.
[40:07] ---
What kind of cleanup work was it?
[40:09] ---
Hey, hey, Araragi-senpai,
what kind of cleanup work was it?
[40:14] ---
Throwing away snack bags, realigning desks...
[40:16] ---
The one that's not those!
[40:20] ---
And erasing the chalkboards and stuff, right?
[40:23] ---
Of course, they must have been writing and erasing,
and writing and erasing.
[40:26] ---
So not everything could be deciphered.
[40:30] ---
But I guess you can read through
at least a part of it, huh.
[40:33] ---
Yes.
[40:34] ---
(WED)
[40:34] ---
And if Komichi Tetsujo
is the homeroom teacher,
[40:36] ---
(THU)
[40:37] ---
she can create exam problems that go along
with what the study group had studied.
[40:37] ---
DETAILS:
1. LOCATION - CLASS 1-3 CLASSROOM
2. DATE - JULY 7 (WED) 15:00~18:00
3. SUBJECT - MATH III,C
PLEASE CONTACT OIKURA FOR DETAILS ON HOW TO JOIN.
[40:41] ---
Of course, it's the actual day of the test,
[40:44] ---
so even if she were able to correct the exam problems,
she probably only got a part of the exam fixed.
[40:51] ---
What else... I guess the motive?
[40:54] ---
The motivation behind committing the crime.
The reason why she did such a thing.
[40:58] ---
Ougi, you even know that as well?
[41:02] ---
If the culprit was a student,
this would be a crime that makes absolutely no sense.
[41:06] ---
If the overall scores
of the entire class went up,
[41:08] ---
that means that, relatively speaking,
the deviation value for each person will go down.
[41:12] ---
However, with the entire class getting better scores,
there is someone whose assessment becomes better.
[41:18] ---
That is the math teacher.
[41:21] ---
KOMICHI TETSUJO
[41:21] ---
She'll be assessed as having high skills
in instruction and guidance.
[41:26] ---
Is there anything else, Araragi-senpai?
[41:30] ---
There isn't.
[41:32] ---
I see. Then, we should probably be on our way.
[41:38] ---
You can leave now, Araragi-senpai.
[41:40] ---
Yeah...
[41:46] ---
What do you mean, I can leave now?
[41:47] ---
Huh?
[41:48] ---
Well, I thought that was
a weird way to say it, so...
[41:51] ---
What did you mean?
[41:52] ---
Oh, you didn't know?
[41:55] ---
Vampires often are unable to enter buildings or rooms
unless the person inside authorizes them to.
[42:01] ---
Ah... Though I've never
had an experience like that.
[42:04] ---
Well, well... Ms. Shinobu is a special one,
[42:07] ---
and we had the pattern not where we couldn't go in,
but one where we couldn't leave.
[42:10] ---
That's why I phrased it as
"you can leave now."
[42:13] ---
It was something like a magic spell
to ease one's mind.
[42:16] ---
That's as if you were the one
that trapped me in here, Ougi.
[42:20] ---
That's a misunderstanding.
I would never trap you in, Araragi-senpai.
[42:25] ---
There's no way I would do such a thing.
[42:28] ---
Araragi-senpai, you were
trapped in your own past.
[42:32] ---
All this time, for two years.
Isn't that right?
[42:37] ---
I do sympathize, though.
[42:39] ---
A teacher, who is the symbol
of righteousness to a student,
[42:42] ---
was the one behaving dishonestly...
[42:44] ---
That feels like betrayal,
[42:46] ---
and you can't help it if you, Araragi-senpai,
decided to put a lid on your heart.
[42:50] ---
Is the fact that Oikura, despite not having attended
enough days, keeps moving up to the next class...
[42:54] ---
Is that something along the lines
of atonement from Mrs. Tetsujo?
[42:58] ---
Atonement? That's not it. It's an excuse.
She just wants to believe that she's a decent human.
[43:23] ---
Why I felt despair...
[43:25] ---
Now, next. Attendance number 6.
[43:28] ---
If you think I, Sodachi Oikura, am the culprit,
please raise your hand.
[43:32] ---
Why I felt despair against righteousness,
[43:35] ---
was that back then, blending into the classmates
that designated Oikura as the culprit,
[43:39] ---
Tetsujo, a teacher, had been
holding up her hand straight up as well.
[44:01] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
OUGI FORMULA
[44:05] ---
The next day, on a whim, I decided to stop by
the audiovisual room on my way to my classroom.
[44:12] ---
To be precise, to the spot
next to the audiovisual room.
[44:17] ---
As expected, there was no such thing there
as an empty classroom.
[44:21] ---
Moreover, there was no dead space whatsoever
along the lines of what Ougi had drawn in her notebook.
[44:28] ---
There was nothing here.
[44:30] ---
Nothing had happened here.
[44:33] ---
The secret room, the locked room,
the figuring out the culprit, the unexpected truth...
[44:38] ---
The class assembly, and the majority rule.
[44:41] ---
Everything was in the past,
and everything was already done and over.
[44:47] ---
Within this teachers' office,
Komichi Tetsujo does not exist.
[44:51] ---
That said, it's not that she quit being a teacher
because she suffered from a guilty conscience,
[44:55] ---
nor that she was fired
after her dishonest act was found out.
[44:58] ---
It's nothing like that.
[44:58] ---
KOMICHI TETSUJO - MATERNITY LEAVE
[45:00] ---
The occasion was that she got pregnant,
and was on maternity leave. What a joyous occasion.
[45:04] ---
She probably won't be
back at school before I graduate,
[45:08] ---
so I'll probably never
see Tetsujo again in my life.
[45:12] ---
And about that, I feel nothing.
[45:15] ---
In the first place, for me, after seeing her from behind,
raising her hand on that day two years ago...
[45:20] ---
she was no longer a teacher,
or an adult.
[45:28] ---
Oh, morning, Araragi.
[45:30] ---
Oh, morning, Hanekawa.
[45:32] ---
Bad timing.
[45:33] ---
What?
[45:34] ---
Araragi, I don't think you should
enter the classroom right now.
[45:38] ---
Heave-ho!
[45:42] ---
Araragi.
[45:43] ---
Had you noticed that there was
an empty seat in our class?
[45:48] ---
Yeah, I noticed it, or rather,
I had thought that it was a spare seat. What of it?
[45:55] ---
What, are you trying to tell me
that a ghost was sitting there today when you arrived?
[45:59] ---
Is that what this is about?
[46:00] ---
I'll tell you something.
Something like a mere ghost won't scare me one bit.
[46:04] ---
The one sitting there wasn't a ghost.
It was a human.
[46:08] ---
A classmate who had not come to school
for the longest time suddenly came to school today.
[46:13] ---
Oh, I see.
[46:15] ---
Then, that seat was...
that person's seat, huh?
[46:19] ---
That's surprising that there was
one more classmate in my class.
[46:24] ---
But, why does that make it
so I shouldn't enter the classroom?
[46:29] ---
Because it's Ms. Oikura.
[46:34] ---
Sodachi Oikura...
[46:35] ---
She's apparently been home-schooling
for about two years now.
[46:39] ---
She came to school
as if she was switching places with Mrs. Tetsujo.
[46:43] ---
Araragi, you didn't get along with her, if I recall?
