**[00:01] Miyu**
Hi, everyone! We're Akudare Kingdom!
**[00:04] Miyu**
Love saves Ibaraki!
**[00:05] Misao**
You're aiming too low!
**[00:07] Misao**
Love should save the whole planet!
**[00:09] Miyu**
Hey, hey, Ibaraki is practically
synonymous with onsen, right?
**[00:12] Hina**
Ibaraki isn't known for onsen at all.
**[00:15] Hina**
Ibaraki is only famous
for natto and hoodlums.
**[00:17] Misao**
Hoodlums aren't a local specialty!
**[00:19] Misao**
Ibaraki might not have a reputation for it,
**[00:22] Misao**
but Oarai has tons of nice onsen.
**[00:25] Hina**
But don't you think onsen
are kind of creepy?
**[00:28] Misao**
No way! Not at all.
**[00:30] Misao**
It's always fun and games at the onsen.
**[00:34] [SONG] all**
Yeah!
**[00:34] [SONG] Yomogi**
So, what's comedy?
**[00:35] [SONG] Yayoi**
Yo!
**[00:36] [SONG] Yuzu**
Tough question, for me
**[00:37] [SONG] Yayoi**
What could it be?
It's too far out to see!
**[00:38] [SONG] Yuzu & Yomogi**
Be! See!
**[00:39] [SONG] Yomogi**
Boke and tsukkomi, in the zone
**[00:39] [SONG] Yayoi**

**[00:46] [SONG] Kana**

**[00:47] [SONG] Iroha & Chitose**

**[02:04] Seiji**
I can tell you've all been
slacking off recently.
***SIGN*** The Mail-Order Chapter
**[02:07] Seiji**
Did you forget you're still in the middle
of the qualifier for the Teppen Grand Prix?
**[02:11] Seiji**
We can't have that!
**[02:13] Seiji**
You need to aim for the top, so I'll help
you get your minds and bodies back in shape.
**[02:18] Seiji**
While I'm repairing Takako-so,
you're going to a mandatory training camp.
**[02:22] Seiji**
I've got the perfect place for you.
**[02:24] Seiji**
It's an old inn owned by the Teppen Grand
Prix Committee that isn't being used now.
**[02:29] Seiji**
And it's called...
**[02:33] Miyu**
Is this it?
***SIGN*** Do'em Inn
**[02:36] Barbra**
Took you long enough.
**[02:38] Barbra**
Welcome to Do'em Inn.
**[02:43] Chitose**
"Do'em Inn"? After "Takako-so"?
**[02:46] Chitose**
What's with all the bad jokes?
**[02:48] Barbra**
You must never lose your sense of humor.
**[02:51] Barbra**
That is the policy of the
Teppen Grand Prix Committee.
**[02:54] Yayoi**
Are you a committee member too, Granny?
**[02:57] Barbra**
That's right. I'm Hotei Barbra.
**[02:59] Barbra**
Just call me Barbra.
**[03:01] Yomogi**
What an unusual name.
**[03:02] Barbra**
I used to work in a hair salon.
**[03:05] Chitose**
Your name is *Barber*a?!
**[03:06] Barbra**
We're very proud of our outdoor bath here.
**[03:09] Barbra**
We're far from the hustle and bustle of
the city, so please relax and enjoy.
***SIGN*** Bean Room
**[03:18] Takada**
*Yeah!*
***SIGN*** You Gotta Buy It
**[03:18] Takada**
* Once again, we're bringing you unusual*
* products you won't find anywhere else!*
**[03:23] Hina**
What's wrong, Misao?
**[03:25] Misao**
It feels like someone's watching me.
**[03:27] Misao**
It's like a cold draft or a chill up the spine.
**[03:31] Misao**
I mean, isn't this inn
just a little too creepy?
**[03:34] Misao**
It might even be haunted!
***SIGN*** Shriek
**[03:37] Hina**
Misao, I didn't know you
were such a chicken.
**[03:39] Misao**
Huh? The heck I am!
***SIGN*** Mirin
***SIGN*** Salt
**[03:42] Misao**
I'll take out all the ghosts
with salt and mirin!
**[03:45] Misao**
I ain't scared at all! Why would
I be scared of anything?!
**[03:46] Hina**
Huh. So Misao's a chicken?
**[03:49] Hina**
That's unexpected.
**[03:50] Hina**
Right, Miyu?
**[03:53] Hina**
Miyu?
**[03:54] Miyu**
Har har! Hilarious!
**[03:56] Miyu**
This is the funniest manga I've ever read!
**[03:59] Hina**
I didn't expect that either.
**[04:00] Hina**
I thought you were only interested
in *Mito Komon Neo*, Miyu.
**[04:03] Miyu**
That ain't true!
**[04:04] Miyu**
But this one's a classic!
**[04:06] Miyu**
It's an official spinoff of *Mito Komon Neo*.
***SIGN*** m 142 57 l 175 50 189 137 172 152 157 145

***SIGN*** Pow
**[04:09] Miyu**
*Detective Komon*!
**[04:11] Hina**
*Detective*... *Komon*?
**[04:13] Miyu**
Yeah. Komon-sama got run over
by a cow and croaked,
**[04:16] Miyu**
but was reincarnated in the modern day,
**[04:18] Miyu**
and now goes after evil magistrate
types and totally beats them up!
**[04:20] Hina**
And you think that's funny?
**[04:25] Misao**
A piano?
**[04:26] Miyu**
Oh, yeah. It sure sounds pretty.
**[04:30] Hina**
But isn't that... a little weird?
**[04:34] Yayoi**
Wow!
**[04:36] Yayoi**
Looks delicious!
**[04:37] Barbra**
How are you liking the inn?
**[04:39] Barbra**
Are you enjoying yourselves?
**[04:40] Kana**
Definitely! The scenery is great,
**[04:42] Kana**
there's an outdoor bath,
and the food looks delicious!
**[04:45] Kana**
We've got no complaints!
**[04:46] Hikari**
The piano performance was nice, too.
**[04:48] Chitose**
The song really added to the mood.
**[04:52] Barbra**
Piano?
**[04:54] Yuzu**
What's wrong, Barbra-san?
**[04:56] Barbra**
I-It's nothing.
**[04:59] Barbra**
Sorry about this. I'll clean it up.
**[05:04] Yuzu**
I wonder what's wrong.
**[05:06] Yayoi**
Is she pianophobic?
**[05:07] Misao**
I told you, something's not right.
**[05:11] Yayoi**
Aah!
**[05:12] Yomogi**
What is it this time?
**[05:14] Kana**
The piano. It's a piano recital in the dark!
**[05:17] Mone**
Or is it space? Are we adrift
in the vastness of space?
**[05:21] Miyu**
I bet we were swallowed up by a monkfish!
**[05:24] Yayoi**
Oh! Sashimi tastes so good in the dark.
**[05:26] Chitose**
You're all too random!
**[05:30] Iroha**
Oh. It's back on.
**[05:32] Misao**
But what happened?
**[05:34] Yuina**
What's that?
**[05:41] Miyu**
Um...
**[05:43] Miyu**
"If you crack a smile with all
your crooked, blackened teeth,
**[05:45] Miyu**
your legs will point into the air,
and you'll fall fast asleep."
**[05:48] Mako**
What does it mean?
***SIGN*** Pon poro poro rin pon poro ri... dance around... If you crack a smile with all those crooked, blackened teeth, your legs will point into the air, and you'll fall fast... Hey yo! Into the sky you blow a kiss, worry 'bout all the things you miss. Your head is pushing its limits, hard-working like the field crickets. Gotta work, improve your role. You can't just try to run away. Over there, you see that hole? You'll fall in if you go that way. What, don't you see? Modern life is too crazy. Written all bloody, a curse in calligraphy. Ronin ronin ronin ronin. Breaking all your heart. Fly away, pigeon... Ronin ronin ronin ronin. Don't become a heart attack, catch ball on next pass. Yeah!
**[05:49] Hikari**
No clue.
**[05:55] Kana**
Take this!
**[05:56] Kana**
Super Remembering-the-Naniwa-Tiger-Striped-Lady
-Who-Gave-Me-Candy Genocide Pancetta Smash!
**[06:01] Iroha**
Yes!
**[06:02] Chitose**
At least hit it after that!
***SIGN*** This Beer
**[06:03] Saeka**
Oh? Where's Mako?
**[06:05] Mone**
She's taking a bath.
**[06:07] Hikari**
Huh? We said we'd go together. Aw...
***SIGN*** This Beer
**[06:10] Miyu**
I've re-ad it o-ver and o-ver
and it st-ill makes no-o sense.
**[06:13] Yayoi**
Wh-o put it th-ere a-nyway? We were
the on-ly ones in the ro-om, r-ight?
**[06:18] Yomogi**
Yeah, but I do-ubt anyone co-uld
navig-ate through darkness like th-at.
**[06:22] Barbra**
It's the curse.
**[06:24] Misao**
Curse?!
**[06:25] Barbra**
You all heard the piano, right?
**[06:28] Barbra**
But that should have been
impossible to hear.
**[06:32] Barbra**
The piano in that cottage has
been locked up for years.
**[06:37] Hina**
There *was* a lock on the door.
**[06:39] Yuina**
Then where did the sound come from?
**[06:41] Barbra**
The horrors have begun! Nobody will
be able to stop them now!
**[06:45] Yuzu**
Horrors?
**[06:48] Chihori**
What?
**[06:51] Yayoi**
What's wrong?
**[06:53] Hikari**
Mako is...
***SIGN*** Living Room
**[07:01] Saeka**
Mako...
**[07:02] Hikari**
She overheated in the bath.
She must've gotten really dizzy.
**[07:05] Saeka**
Why did she have to die like this?
**[07:07] Hikari**
She ain't dead.
**[07:10] Yuzu**
No good. No signal.
**[07:11] Yuina**
Same here.
**[07:13] Kana**
Chitose-senpai. Iroha-senpai.
**[07:15] Chitose**
This isn't looking good.
**[07:17] Iroha**
I went and checked the only way out of here,
***SIGN*** Wet Paint
**[07:20] Iroha**
but the bridge is wet with paint. Hot pink.
**[07:22] Chitose**
If we try to walk on it,
our shoes will turn hot pink.
**[07:25] Chitose**
That's a death sentence!
**[07:27] Kana**
Our phones have no signal.
If we leave, we die.
**[07:30] Kana**
That means...
**[07:31] Misao**
...that we're trapped here?
**[07:32] Barbra**
It's exactly what the lullaby says.
**[07:35] Barbra**
The curse is the only possible explanation.
**[07:38] Yayoi**
Barbra-san, what is that curse about anyway?
**[07:42] Barbra**
Long ago, before this place
was called Do'em Inn,
**[07:47] Barbra**
a wealthy family used to live here.
**[07:50] Barbra**
They had one son, and he
loved playing the piano.
**[07:54] Barbra**
He wanted to become a musician,
but that dream didn't come true.
**[08:00] Barbra**
In order to make him take
over the family business,
**[08:03] Barbra**
his father forced him to quit piano.
**[08:07] Barbra**
With no hope for the future,
the son took his own life.
**[08:12] Barbra**
He left behind a lullaby,
written in despair,
**[08:17] Barbra**
that has been passed down
through the generations.
**[08:20] Yuzu**
What kind of song is it?
**[08:22] Barbra**
It's faster if you just hear it.
**[08:26] Yomogi**
*Pon poro poro rin pon poro rin*
**[08:31] Yomogi**
* Make your fingers dance around,*
* and see what it might mean*
**[08:37] Yomogi**
* If you crack a smile with all*
* your crooked, blackened teeth*
**[08:43] Yomogi**
* Your legs will point into the*
* air, and you'll fall fast asleep*
**[08:50] Yomogi**
*Hey! Yo!*
**[08:52] Yomogi**
*Into the sky you blow a kiss*
**[08:53] Yomogi**
*Worry 'bout all the things you miss*
**[08:54] Yomogi**
*Your head is pushing its limits*
**[08:56] Yomogi**
*Hard-working like the field crickets*
**[08:57] Barbra**
*Gotta work, improve your role*
**[08:58] Barbra**
*You can't just try to run away*
**[09:00] Barbra**
*Over there, you see that hole?*
**[09:01] Barbra**
*You'll fall in if you go that way.*
**[09:03] Yomogi**
*What, don't you see?*
**[09:04] Yomogi**
*Modern life is too crazy*
**[09:05] Yomogi**
*Written all bloody*
**[09:07] Yomogi**
*A curse in calligraphy*
**[09:08] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Ronin ronin ronin ronin*
**[09:11] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Breaking all your heart*
**[09:13] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Fly away, pigeon coo-coo*
**[09:14] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Ronin ronin ronin ronin*
**[09:17] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Don't become a heart attack*
**[09:19] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Catch ball on next pass*
**[09:20] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Yeah!*
**[09:21] Barbra**
This is the lullaby that's been
passed down for 50 years.
**[09:24] Chitose**
There's no way that's 50 years old!
**[09:27] Barbra**
There is a saying at the inn that's
been passed down with the song.
**[09:31] Barbra**
"Someday, the tortured soul of the
piano will return with its lullaby,
**[09:37] Barbra**
and that melody will lead to a curse."
**[09:41] Yuina**
Just like the lyrics said, Mako-chan's legs
were pointing into the air.
**[09:46] Chihori**
Yeah. And she fell asleep.
**[09:48] Kana**
Wait a minute.
**[09:49] Kana**
Does that mean what happened to
Mako is gonna keep happening?
**[09:52] Misao**
What the heck? I can't believe
we've actually been cursed!
**[09:56] Barbra**
If this is the lullaby's curse, then there
is only one way to break it.
**[10:01] Yomogi**
There's a way to break it?
**[10:03] Yuzu**
Please tell us, Barbra-san!
**[10:04] Yuzu**
What do we have to do?
**[10:07] Barbra**
Laugh.
**[10:08] Barbra**
It is said that if you can fill the inn
with laughter, the curse will be lifted.
**[10:14] Chitose**
The heck is that? What does
laughing have to do with a curse?
**[10:17] Kana**
Maybe he wants to laugh because
he was so sad when he died.
**[10:20] Chitose**
That's kind of a stretch.
**[10:22] Yayoi**
But laughter is our specialty!
**[10:25] Yayoi**
And there's no other way,
so let's give it a shot!
**[10:28] Barbra**
I'll gather all the employees.
**[10:31] Barbra**
They'll be your audience. Send them
rolling on the floor with laughter!
**[10:34] Yomogi**
Let's do our thing!
**[10:38] Yomogi**
Hello!
**[10:45] Barbra**
That's not good. They've frozen up.
**[10:47] Chitose**
Of course they have! What kind
of audience is that?!
**[10:49] Barbra**
The son who killed himself
had very pale skin.
**[10:52] Barbra**
To break the curse,
**[10:54] Barbra**
you have to make the audience laugh while
they're all wearing white beauty masks.
**[10:57] Yuina**
Why are there so many conditions?
**[11:00] Misao**
There's no way we'll break the curse.
**[11:02] Miyu**
There's no curse! The culprit
is here somewhere!
***SIGN*** Suke
***SIGN*** Kaku
**[11:05] Kana**
Miyu-chan, why are you dressed like that?
**[11:07] Miyu**
I ain't Miyu. Call me
Great Detective Komon!
**[11:10] Hina**
You're so easily influenced.
**[11:12] Miyu**
Shaddap!
**[11:13] Miyu**
If we show our love for Komon-sama,
**[11:15] Miyu**
maybe someday Akudare Kingdom will be
invited on *Mito Komon Neo* as guest stars!
**[11:19] Chitose**
Oh, get real.
***SIGN*** Sigh
**[11:21] Miyu**
Anyway! I'll totally prove to
you that there's no curse!
***SIGN*** Suke
***SIGN*** Kaku
**[11:25] Miyu**
I'll solve the mystery!
**[11:27] Miyu**
In the name of Komon-sama!
***SIGN*** Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***SIGN*** Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**[11:36] Misao**
What are you looking for?
**[11:38] Miyu**
Evidence, obviously.
**[11:40] Hina**
Did you find something?
**[11:41] Miyu**
I found 100 yen!
**[11:42] Hina**
So what?
**[11:44] Miyu**
What else? What else?
**[11:46] Misao**
There's no culprit. It's gotta be the curse.
**[11:52] Misao**
Someone's watching again!
**[11:53] Miyu**
There ain't no curse.
**[11:56] Misao**
What is it this time?
**[11:58] Chitose**
What happened?
**[11:59] Saeka**
I wanted to get Mako some water,
but when I went outside...
**[12:06] Yuina**
Mone?!
**[12:07] Yomogi**
* Hey yo! Into the sky you blow a kiss,*
* worry 'bout all the things you miss.*
**[12:11] Yomogi**
* Your head is pushing its limits,*
* hard-working like the field crickets.*
**[12:14] Kana**
Just like the lullaby said!
**[12:17] Kana**
Again?
**[12:20] Hikari**
When I went to get Mako a snack...
**[12:25] Kana**
Iroha-senpai!
**[12:26] Chitose**
Why is she stuck like that?
**[12:27] Barbra**
* Gotta work, improve your role,*
* you can't just try to run away.*
**[12:30] Barbra**
* Over there, you see that hole?*
* You'll fall in if you go that way.*
**[12:33] Yuzu**
Is that the hole?
**[12:35] Yuina**
Look over there.
***SIGN*** Curse
**[12:37] Yomogi**
* What, don't you see?*
* Modern life is too crazy.*
***SIGN*** Curse
**[12:40] Yomogi**
*Written all bloody, a curse in calligraphy.*
**[12:43] Yomogi**
How could anyone get over
there to write that?
***SIGN*** Living Room
**[12:46] Misao**
Yeah, it's gotta be the curse.
**[12:48] Miyu**
But there's no way it's real!
So stop saying "curse"!
**[12:52] Hina**
Misao, why are you so scared of everything?
**[12:56] Misao**
There's a reason for it.
**[12:58] Misao**
It started a year ago.
**[13:03] Misao**
Back then, I always felt like
someone was watching me.
**[13:07] Misao**
Whatever I was doing...
**[13:10] Misao**
Whatever was happening...
**[13:14] Misao**
I always felt someone watching.
It was super creepy.
**[13:18] Misao**
And then one day it happened.
***SIGN*** Ushiku
**[13:22] Misao**
Something uncanny and terrifying...
**[13:27] (Flashback) Misao**
Dried sweet potatoes!
**[13:30] Hina**
That story...
**[13:31] Misao**
Can you imagine how I felt?
**[13:33] Misao**
The horror of finding my shoe locker
stuffed full of dried sweet potatoes?
**[13:37] Misao**
Now that I think about it,
maybe that was a curse, too!
**[13:40] Misao**
Ever since then, I've been a mess.
**[13:43] Misao**
Ghosts and curses and the supernatural...
I believe in them all.
**[13:47] Misao**
I'm scared out of my wits!
**[13:49] Miyu**
Misao!
**[13:50] Miyu**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[13:52] Miyu**
There ain't no curse!
**[13:53] Miyu**
I'll find the culprit and prove it to you.
**[13:56] Miyu**
Then you won't get so freaked
out about all this malarkey.
**[13:59] Misao**
Miyu, you'd really do that for me?
**[14:02] Miyu**
You and Hina are my Suke-san and Kaku-san.
**[14:04] Miyu**
You're supposed to fight for your Komon,
but you can't do that if you're always scared.
**[14:09] Miyu**
So I'll fix whatever is bothering you.
**[14:12] Miyu**
I'll protect you from fear, just as
you protect me in battle!
**[14:15] Miyu**
Because I know that's what
Komon-sama would do!
**[14:18] Misao**
Miyu—
**[14:20] Miyu**
Misao!
**[14:21] Hina**
Wh-What happened now?
**[14:23] Miyu**
It must be a trick door.
**[14:27] Misao**
Is this a hidden room?
**[14:30] Hina**
Look. Misao?
**[14:32] Misao**
How...?
**[14:35] Miyu**
What's this?
**[14:38] Miyu**
So *that's* what's going on here.
**[14:40] Miyu**
This mystery is solved!
**[14:42] Chitose**
So...
**[14:43] Chitose**
Why'd you bring us all here?
**[14:46] Yayoi**
Did you find something out?
**[14:48] Miyu**
Yeah, I figured it all out.
**[14:50] Miyu**
I'll explain it all to you—
**[14:52] Miyu**
the truth behind the curse!
**[14:54] Kana**
There is no truth! It's just a curse!
**[14:57] Miyu**
No, it ain't.
**[14:58] Miyu**
Everything so far has just been
set up to look like a curse.
**[15:02] Miyu**
All done by a certain individual.
**[15:04] Hikari**
A certain individual, meaning...?
**[15:06] Yomogi**
You're over-dramatizing it!
**[15:07] Miyu**
That individual is here with us.
**[15:09] Yayoi**
But isn't it strange that we heard a
piano playing from the locked cottage?
**[15:14] Yayoi**
And then that the envelope appeared?
**[15:16] Yayoi**
That shouldn't be possible.
**[15:18] Miyu**
No, it's all possible. First,
take a look at this.
**[15:23] Takada**
* Once again, we're bringing you unusual*
* products you won't find anywhere else!*
***SIGN*** You Gotta Buy It
**[15:28] Miyu**
That's *Get-It-All Takada*, a local
mail-order shopping program.
**[15:32] Miyu**
They sell rare items that have
extremely specific uses.
**[15:34] Miyu**
It sounds like the show has a
ton of really serious fans.
**[15:38] Chitose**
What does that show have to do with this?
**[15:40] Takada**
* Yeah! Let's introduce*
* today's special product!*
**[15:43] Takada**
*Here it is!*

*The Takaeda Piano-Playing Pole!*
**[15:46] Takada**
* For when you want to play piano,*
* but you can't get off the ceiling.*
**[15:49] Takada**
*We all know what that's like, right?*
**[15:50] Chitose**
Nobody's ever been in that situation!
**[15:52] Takada**
*This is the perfect tool for the job!*
**[15:55] Takada**
* When you have the Takaeda Piano-Playing Pole,*
* look at what you can do!*
**[15:58] Miyu**
The cottage door was definitely locked,
but none of us checked the roof.
**[16:04] Miyu**
There's probably a small
window or something.
**[16:06] Miyu**
The culprit must've been
playing the piano through that,
**[16:09] Miyu**
using this Takaeda Piano-Playing Pole!
**[16:12] Yuzu**
Then what about the letter?
**[16:13] Miyu**
For that, they used this.
**[16:15] Takada**
*Yeah! Our next product is this!*
***SIGN*** You Gotta Buy It
**[16:17] Takada**
*Sometimes, when you're eating,*
**[16:19] Takada**
* you want to make an envelope appear*
* out of nowhere, don't you?*
**[16:22] Chitose**
That never, ever happens!

**[16:29] Miyu**
Someone could have used this to make
the envelope appear, even in the dark.
**[16:33] Miyu**
Last is the "curse" calligraphy on the rock.
***SIGN*** Curse
**[16:36] Miyu**
A normal person would never
be able to get over there.
**[16:39] Miyu**
But there's a pond around the rock.
**[16:41] Takada**
*And our last product is this! A flyboard!*
***SIGN*** Flyboard
**[16:44] Miyu**
* The culprit hovered to the rock*
* with this to write the message.*
***SIGN*** Flyboard
**[16:48] Chitose**
That's one physically active criminal.
**[16:50] Miyu**
Those devices were kept here
in the inn's hidden room.
**[16:53] Miyu**
The culprit would have known
where that was. So...
**[16:57] Miyu**
It had to be you! Barbra!
**[17:04] Barbra**
You saw right through me.
**[17:06] Yomogi**
Are you really the culprit, Barbra-san?
**[17:08] Hikari**
Why would you do this?
**[17:10] Barbra**
Seiji asked me to.
**[17:12] Barbra**
He wanted me to put you through a test that
would make you take comedy seriously.
**[17:17] Barbra**
That's why I made up the curse and set up
a performance where you could break it.
**[17:21] Chihori**
The audience in white masks, too?
**[17:24] Yuina**
You did it to scare us and
push us to our limits.
**[17:27] Kana**
Were the curse and the lullaby
and everything all lies?
**[17:30] Barbra**
Yes, I did make up the curse.
**[17:33] Barbra**
But the lullaby is a real thing.
**[17:36] Yuzu**
What do you mean?
**[17:38] Barbra**
Fifty years ago, I lived
next door to the inn.
**[17:42] Barbra**
The inn owner's son, Toichiro
was my first love.
**[17:47] Yuzu**
The son who committed suicide?
**[17:50] Barbra**
He didn't really commit suicide.
I made up that part.
**[17:55] Barbra**
The story about him wanting to
become a musician was also a lie.
**[17:58] Barbra**
Toichiro's dream was to become
a piano-playing comedian!
**[18:01] Barbra**
His parents objected, so he ran away,
leaving behind that lullaby.
**[18:06] Barbra**
Nobody knows where he is now.
**[18:07] Barbra**
The song just seemed like the
perfect choice for your test.
**[18:11] Barbra**
Toichiro once aspired to be a comedian too.
***SIGN*** Piano Comedy
**[18:14] Barbra**
He was so much like all of you right now.
**[18:18] Barbra**
I thought it would be nice gesture
to use that song in his memory.
**[18:20] Saeka**
Please wait a minute!
**[18:22] Saeka**
Does that mean you attacked
Mako and the others as a test?
**[18:25] Barbra**
I had nothing to do with that.
**[18:27] Saeka**
Huh? What are you saying?
**[18:29] Barbra**
I did try to scare you, but I had
no intention of harming you.
**[18:33] Barbra**
Attacking strangers would be a bit too
much for an old mail-order fan like me.
**[18:38] Saeka**
Then who...?
**[18:40] Misao**
Someone's watching! Who's there?!
**[18:43] Misao**
I won't let you get away this time!
**[18:45] Misao**
Take this! A famous Mito natto bomb!
**[18:48] Takada**
Argh, aaah, blegh, ew!
**[18:51] Misao**
It's you!
**[18:52] Takada**
Ugh, it's so sticky and slimy!
**[18:54] Misao**
It's the guy from the shopping program!
**[18:57] Hikari**
Mako! Are you feeling better?
**[18:59] Mako**
It's him! It was his fault!
**[19:07] (Flashback) Takada**
Ouch! Something bit me.
**[19:15] (Flashback) Mone**
Hm?
**[19:16] (Flashback) Mone**
Huh?
**[19:19] (Flashback) Mone**
Ah! Okay...
**[19:26] (Flashback) Iroha**
Who's there?
**[19:27] Takada**
Oof! Oof!
**[19:28] (Flashback) Iroha**
Oh, shoot!
**[19:33] Yuina**
You were creeping around
the inn to peep at Misao-chan?
***SIGN*** Slurp
***SIGN*** Slurp
**[19:37] Misao**
We'll make you talk. Why were you doing it?
**[19:39] Takada**
Well...
**[19:41] Takada**
I caught a glimpse of you
when you got off the train.
**[19:44] Miyu**
Why are you so infatuated with Misao?
**[19:47] Takada**
She looks just like her.
Like my first love, Kikuyo-san.
**[19:51] Takada**
I couldn't help but follow you.
**[19:53] Takada**
When you arrived here, it felt like fate.
**[19:57] Takada**
What a coincidence that you
would come to my old home!
**[20:00] Yomogi**
Wh-What did you just say?
**[20:02] Yomogi**
This inn is your old home?
**[20:04] Takada**
Yes. My parents wouldn't
let me chase my dreams,
**[20:08] Takada**
so I ran away and didn't
come back for 50 years.
**[20:11] Takada**
I couldn't build up the courage to
come inside, so I kept watching from afar.
**[20:16] Yuzu**
So that piano was yours?
**[20:18] Miyu**
And your first love was...?!
**[20:19] Barbra**
Toichiro-san, is that you?
**[20:23] Takada**
I don't believe it!
**[20:26] Takada**
Kikuyo-san?
**[20:28] Young Barbra**
Do you really remember me?
**[20:31] Young Takada**
How could I forget my one true love?
**[20:34] Young Barbra**
Koichiro-san!
**[20:35] Young Takada**
Kikuyo-san!
**[20:43] Miyu**
See? I told you there was no curse.
**[20:45] Misao**
This time, at least.
**[20:46] Misao**
But what about those dried sweet potatoes?
**[20:49] Hina**
We solved that one, too.
**[20:51] Misao**
Huh?
**[20:52] Hina**
Misao used to be really popular
with the girls at school.
**[20:55] Hina**
Some of them even called her a prince.
**[20:58] Hina**
But she's a little intimidating
and hard to talk to,
**[21:00] Hina**
so everyone admired her from a distance.
**[21:04] Hina**
In the halls, in the gym, in the cafeteria.
**[21:07] Misao**
That's why I felt like I was being watched!
**[21:09] Hina**
Since we were friends, the other girls
asked me what kind of food you liked.
**[21:14] Hina**
I told them you liked dried sweet potatoes.
**[21:16] Miyu**
They asked me about you, too.
**[21:17] Miyu**
They said, "I bought Misao a present,
but I'm not brave enough to give it to her."
**[21:21] Miyu**
So I told 'em what to do! I said to
just stuff it in your shoe locker.
**[21:25] Misao**
It was all your fault? Oh, jeez...
**[21:28] All three**
Thank you very much!
**[21:33] Kana**
That turned out pretty fun,
in a thrilling kind of way!
**[21:36] Chitose**
Yeah.
**[21:37] Misao**
And there was no real curse,
so case closed, I guess.
**[21:40] Yuzu**
Don't be so sure yet.
**[21:42] Misao**
Huh?
**[21:43] Yuzu**
Sometimes words have power.
**[21:45] Yuzu**
Even if something is a lie, once you put
it into words, it might become reality.
**[21:48] Misao**
Oh, come on, quit trying to scare me.
**[21:51] Yomogi & Barbra**
*Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling*
**[21:54] Yomogi & Barbra**

But to us now, those memories
will always be so precious.

All of the tears, all of the pain,
rewriting life with our own words.

We want to laugh it all away with you,
right up to the end. And that's a wrap!
