[00:01] Himari
    I'm Himari Momochi.
[00:03] Himari
    I've finally gotten used to living
    here at Momochi House,
[00:06] Himari
    and I thought I was doing well
    with Aoi and the others, but...
[00:12] Yukari
    I'm Himari's oldest sister, Yukariko.
[00:16] Yukari
    This is the second eldest, Iseko.
[00:19] Yukari
    And here's the third eldest, Aoiko.
[00:24] Himari
    What the heck is going on?!
[00:28] Aoi
    You mustn't look at me.
SIGN    You mustn't look at me.
SIGN    Episode 3  A Fourth Friend
[02:07] Himari
    All ready!
[02:08] Aoi
    Himari, are you going somewhere?
[02:10] Aoi
    That uniform...
[02:12] Himari
    Today's my first day at my new school.
[02:14] Himari
    I can't put off going back forever, you know?
[02:16] Aoi
    Of course.
[02:19] Aoi
    The uniform suits you.
[02:21] Himari
    Th-Thanks...
[02:23] Aoi
    Have a good day.
[02:24] Himari
    Thanks! I'm off!
SIGN    Faculty Room
[02:31] Himari
    Pardon me!
[02:32] Himari
    I'm the new transfer student, Momochi...
[02:35] Nachi
    Hey! I was wondering when you'd come.
[02:37] Nachi
    Good morning, Momochi-san.
[02:39] Himari
    Oh!
[02:42] Himari
    You're that guy...
[02:44] Himari
    I had no idea you were my class's teacher.
[02:48] Nachi
    This is a surprise to me, too.
[02:50] Nachi
    You see? I'm sure it was meant to be.
[02:53] Himari
    Thank you so much for the other day.
[02:56] Himari
    I'm doing much better thanks to your help.
[02:58] Nachi
    That's wonderful news.

[03:01] Nachi
    Let me introduce myself. I'm Takamura Nachi.
[03:04] Nachi
    Nice to meet you, Momochi-san.
[03:07] Himari
    Nice to meet you, too! I'm glad to be here.
[03:10] Nachi
    Our school may be old and small,
    but the students are great.
[03:15] Nachi
    I think you'll enjoy your time here.
[03:18] Himari
    Me, too!
[03:19] Nachi
    And now, please welcome your new classmate.
[03:24] Himari
    M-My name is Himari Momochi.
    I moved here from Tokyo.
[03:28] Himari
    It's nice to meet you all.
[03:30] Nachi
    We don't have long until summer break,
    but I hope you'll all get to know her.
[03:36] Students
    Yes, sir!
[03:38] Himari
    Thank goodness.
[03:39] Himari
    Like the teacher said,
    everyone seems really nice.
[03:44] Himari
    I might just fit in here!
[03:47] Himari
    At least... that's what I thought.
[03:50] Himari
    So how'd I get myself into this?!
SIGN    Hana Iizuka
[03:53] Iizuka
    This is some mountain...
SIGN    Aika Torii
[03:54] Torii
    I've never been mountain hiking before!
SIGN    Rui Madarame
[03:57] Madarame
    You walk this road every day, Momochi-san?
[04:01] Himari
    It's not so bad once you get used to it.
SIGN    Tadashi Senoo
[04:04] Senoo
    It's finally time to visit the real-life
    haunted mansion, Momochi House!
[04:08] Madarame
    What's with the weird song?
[04:11] Madarame
    Besides, "real" and "haunted"
    together is an oxymoron.
[04:14] Senoo
    Don't you realize we're about
    to enter Momochi House,
[04:17] Senoo
    the greatest haunted house of our time?!
[04:19] Senoo
    I can't help being excited!
[04:22] Madarame
    Give it a rest, you occult fanatic.
[04:25] Iizuka
    You're being straight-up rude. As usual.
[04:29] Torii
    And as usual, Senoo-kun actually means well.
[04:35] Madarame
    Sorry for imposing like this
    on your first day of school.
[04:39] Madarame
    Senoo wouldn't shut up about
    there being "real ghosts."
[04:43] Senoo
    Ghosts really do exist!
[04:45] Senoo
    Momochi House is a genuine haunted mansion!
[04:48] Senoo
    And the curse of the Omamori-sama is real!
[04:51] Senoo
    My grandmother said so.
[04:53] Madarame
    What tripe.
[04:55] Madarame
    It's all just mirages
    and things people made up.
[05:00] Senoo
    Fine. Suit yourself.
[05:02] Senoo
    You'll believe it when you see it
    with your own eyes, Madarame-san!
[05:06] Senoo
    You'll be face to face with the truth!
[05:10] Himari
    And so here we are, making our way
    back to my house after school.
[05:15] Himari
    I made the mistake of agreeing to this
    in an attempt to make friends, but...
[05:20] Himari
    I can't let them find out there really 
    are other things living there!
[05:24] Himari
    I've gotta figure something out!
[05:27] Himari
    Thank goodness. The lesser yokai
    seem pretty tame today...
[05:32] Himari
    As for Aoi and them...
[05:34] (Flashback) Himari
    And that's the short of it!
[05:36] (Flashback) Himari
    I'm sorry this is so last minute,
    but my classmates are here, so please!
[05:40] (Flashback) Aoi
    Please what?
[05:41] (Flashback) Himari
    Well, they can't find out I live
    with a bunch of boys I'm not related to.
[05:45] (Flashback) Himari
    So if you could just come
    up with something! Please!
[05:48] (Flashback) Yukari
    I see... I understand.
[05:52] Himari
    I was able to fill them in,
    so we should be in the clear.
[05:56] Himari
    But still, you never know what
    may happen in this house.
[06:00] Himari
    I should come up with an excuse
    to get them out of here soon.
[06:04] Himari
    Hang tight one sec, guys.
[06:06] Himari
    I'll go make some tea.
[06:08] Madarame
    Need any help?
[06:09] Himari
    Nope, I'm good!
[06:11] Himari
    You guys just chill here.
[06:12] Yukari
    Tea, anyone?
[06:16] Yukari
    I'm Himari's oldest sister, Yukariko.
[06:20] Yukari
    This is the second eldest, Iseko.
[06:23] Yukari
    And here's the third eldest, Aoiko.
[06:28] Himari
    Wh-What... What in the world?!
[06:31] Himari
    I-Is this because I told them
    to come up with something?
[06:36] Himari
    But why this of all things?!
[06:38] Himari
    My friends will never buy this!
[06:40] Iizuka
    Himari-chan, your sisters are so pretty!
[06:43] Torii
    Yeah! My heart fluttered a bit!
[06:46] Senoo
    Iseko-san, what a sweetheart...
[06:49] Himari
    No way! An Ise fan?!
[06:51] Madarame
    We're sorry for barging in with no warning.
[06:54] Yukari
    Please, it's no trouble.
[06:57] Senoo
    A mysterious mansion of three beautiful
     sisters is a match made in heaven!
[07:01] Aoi
    I think you mean four... Right, Himari?
[07:05] Himari
    Hey, Aoi! Get off me!
[07:07] Madarame
    You guys must be close.
[07:09] Torii
    I'm so jealous. I wish I had siblings.
[07:14] Aoi
    Himari.
[07:16] Aoi
    I don't mean to interrupt
    while your friends are here,
[07:20] Aoi
    but can I borrow you?
[07:22] Aoi
    I'm sorry, everyone.
    Please excuse us for a moment.
[07:27] Torii
    Sure!
[07:28] Iizuka
    Don't mind us.
[07:31] Yukari
    Now then, please excuse us.
[07:36] Himari
    Th-That's enough, Aoi! You're way too close.
[07:39] Aoi
    It's not weird if we're sisters.
[07:43] Himari
    Are you... mad?
[07:45] Aoi
    No, but I wasn't expecting
    to dress up like this.
[07:50] Ise
    For real.
[07:51] Himari
    W-Well, I wasn't expecting you to, either.
[07:54] Himari
    Yukari-san!
[07:56] Yukari
    What? Wasn't this what you were suggesting?
[07:59] Himari
    N-Not exactly. Though it does suit you.
[08:04] Aoi
    Never mind that. We have a
    situation on our hands, Himari.
[08:08] Himari
    A situation?
[08:10] Aoi
    That's right. Now listen to me and stay calm.
[08:14] Aoi
    Those "friends" you brought...
[08:16] Aoi
    One of them is already dead.
[08:19] Himari
    Huh?
[08:22] Aoi
    The dead one is blending in with the group.
[08:27] Himari
    The dead one...?
[08:28] Aoi
    Someone who's already departed this world.
[08:33] Aoi
    A deceased soul disguised as a fourth friend.
[08:35] Himari
    Is it an ayakashi?
[08:37] Aoi
    No, you could still say it's transforming.
[08:40] Aoi
    I think it was originally
     a wandering spirit at the school.
[08:44] Aoi
    But it was invited here by you,
    the owner of Momochi House.
[08:48] Aoi
    It's now a guest.
[08:49] Aoi
    It's rapidly soaking up the house's
    spiritual power and turning into an ayakashi.
[08:54] Himari
    A wandering spirit? But...
[08:57] Himari
    Everyone looks fine.
    They're all having so much fun.
[09:01] Himari
    So which one of them is dead?
[09:04] Aoi
    That's the problem. We can't tell either.
[09:07] Aoi
    Since they're your guest,
     we're magically prevented from interfering.
[09:13] Aoi
    I think it's some kind of curse.
[09:15] Himari
    Then what can we...
[09:17] Yukari
    There is a way.
[09:20] Aoi
    Himari, you need to figure out who's dead
    and order them to get out.
[09:26] Aoi
    That should lift the curse.
[09:29] Himari
    Me?
[09:31] Aoi
    But be careful.
[09:33] Aoi
    If you guess wrong, the ayakashi might
    realize it's been discovered and go berserk.
[09:38] Aoi
    It might even harm your friends.
[09:41] Himari
    What?!
[09:42] Aoi
    As much as we want to stick by your side,
[09:46] Aoi
    our spiritual powers might just
    accelerate its transformation. Sorry.
[09:53] Himari
    It's okay. I was the one who invited it in.
[09:56] Himari
    I'll figure this out myself.
[09:58] Aoi
    I'm sure you can do it, Himari.
[10:02] Aoi
    Even if something happens,
    I'll protect you and your friends.
[10:09] Himari
    Aoi...
[10:12] Madarame
    Momochi-san, is everything okay?
[10:15] Himari
    Yeah, sorry for bailing like that.
[10:18] Torii
    Don't worry about it.
     We were just enjoying the refreshments.
[10:21] Himari
    One of them is... dead?
[10:29] Madarame
    Hana?
[10:30] Senoo
    What's this?
[10:32] Himari
    Iizuka-san, is something wrong?
[10:36] Iizuka
    U-Um...
[10:40] Iizuka
    Can I please use your bathroom?!
[10:44] Torii
    We did have a lot of tea.
[10:46] Iizuka
    I've been meaning to ask, but...
[10:50] Himari
    Sure, I'll show you there.
[10:53] Himari
    Sorry this place is so big.
[10:55] Iizuka
    No, it's beautiful.
[10:58] Iizuka
    I wish I could live somewhere like this.
[11:00] Himari
    R-Really? That's kind of you to say.
[11:04] Iizuka
    I'm jealous of you, Himari-chan.
[11:13] Iizuka
    What's wrong, Himari-chan?
[11:15] Himari
    Oh, it's nothing.
[11:17] Himari
    The bathroom's just down there.
[11:19] Iizuka
    Thanks.
[11:26] Himari
    Senoo-kun, Madarame-san,
    Iizuka-san, Torii-san...
[11:31] Himari
    Aoi said one of them is actually
    a ghost disguised as a friend, but...
[11:43] Himari
    I don't want to believe any one
    of them is deceiving us.
[11:50] Himari
    Iizuka-san, what was that sound?
[11:54] Himari
    Iizuka-san?
[12:01] Kasha
    Oh, poor spirit from the house of learning
    who died yearning for a friend...
[12:08] Kasha
    A friend so beloved that
    you could just eat them right up.
[12:12] Kasha
    Now, what's your next move...
[12:16] Kasha
    my dear Nue?
[12:21] Yukari
    She doesn't seem to have a soul.
[12:23] Himari
    That can't be...
[12:25] Himari
    Did the ghost do this?
[12:28] Aoi
    I'm not sure.
[12:30] Himari
    Or does this mean Iizuka-san is the ghost?
[12:34] Yukari
    Well, you see...
[12:35] Yukari
    Its presence hasn't disappeared.
[12:38] Aoi
    Right. That means the departed is still here.
[12:41] Himari
    So it's one of the other three?
[12:45] Aoi
    I'm still not sure who it is, though.
[12:48] Ise
    This ain't good.
[12:50] Yukari
    We need to find it before the
    others are put in danger.
[12:56] Aoi
    Since it's a being of the spiritual realm,
[12:58] Aoi
    there will be something "off"
    that doesn't seem to fit the human world.
[13:02] Aoi
    That's what you need to look for.
[13:05] Himari
    Something off?
[13:09] Torii
    Himari-chan, what's wrong?
[13:11] Madarame
    Momochi-san, you don't look so great...
[13:14] Himari
    Huh?!
[13:15] Himari
    Oh, I'm fine! Just fine!
[13:18] Senoo
    Wait, where's Iizuka-san?
[13:20] Himari
    She wasn't feeling too well.
[13:24] Himari
    She's resting in another room.
[13:26] Senoo
    Oh my! That's concerning...
[13:28] Torii
    I hope she's okay.
[13:30] Madarame
    Should we go check on her?
[13:32] Himari
    J-Just hold on.
[13:34] Torii
    Huh?
[13:35] Senoo
    Is something the matter?
[13:36] Himari
    W-Well, um...
[13:39] Madarame
    Momochi-san, could you show us to her?
[13:42] Himari
    S-Sure.
[13:45] Madarame
    Hana didn't look like
    she wasn't feeling well today.
[13:49] Himari
    I have to hurry and find the ghost
    before anyone else gets hurt.
[13:50] Senoo
    Maybe she's tired from the hike.
[13:52] Senoo
    I should give her a charm
    to help her feel better.
[13:54] Himari
    But who could it be?
[13:55] Madarame
    Please don't.
[13:56] Torii
    Iizuka-san's health is
     a bit delicate, you know.
[14:00] Himari
    It is?
[14:01] Torii
    Yeah, I'm worried...
[14:03] Himari
    That's kind of you, Torii-san.
[14:07] Himari
    It's really nice to see how well
    you guys all get along.
[14:10] Torii
    Is that how we seem?
    I'm so glad to hear that.
[14:14] Torii
    I've taken a lot of time off from school,
    so I didn't have many friends...
[14:21] Torii
    Being together with everyone today
     has been so much fun.
[14:25] Torii
    I wish I'd had the courage
    to take that step sooner.
[14:31] Himari
    Torii-san...
[14:33] Torii
    I should thank the person who gave me a push.
[14:37] Himari
    Who...?
[14:46] Himari
    Who was that? Aoi and the others?
[14:49] Himari
    No, someone else is there...
[14:53] Madarame
    Momochi-san, is it this way?
[14:56] Himari
    Y-Yeah.
[14:59] Himari
    Hey, Torii-san!
[15:00] Himari
    Who were you just talking about?
[15:04] Madarame
    "Torii-san"? Who's that?
[15:07] Himari
    What are you saying?
[15:08] Himari
    She's right there—
[15:15] Himari
    She has no reflection.
[15:19] Himari
    Torii-san...?
[15:22] Senoo
    My, my...
[15:24] Madarame
    I'm Madarame. This is Senoo.
[15:27] Madarame
    There's no one named Torii.
[15:29] Himari
    They couldn't see Torii-san from the start.
[15:33] Himari
    It's her... Torii-san's the ghost.
[15:38] Himari
    But...
[15:40] Torii
    I should thank the person who gave me a push.
[15:46] Aoi
    Himari, now!
[15:48] Aoi
    Hurry and expel it!
[15:50] Himari
    No!
[15:52] Himari
    The one that really, truly
    needs to be kicked out is...
[15:55] Himari
    Get out!
[16:05] Iizuka/Kasha
    You brat. What have you done?
[16:09] Himari
    Iizuka-san?
[16:11] Iizuka/Kasha
    What spell did you use on me?
[16:15] Aoi
    Himari!
[16:17] Aoi
    Black fire? That means none other than...
[16:21] Aoi
    Kasha!
[16:22] Kasha
    It's been a while, Aoi, child of Nue.
[16:26] Kasha
    Did you enjoy my puppet act?
[16:29] Aoi
    I knew this wasn't any ordinary trap...
[16:32] Aoi
    So you were the one behind it all.
[16:35] Kasha
    Rather late of you to notice,
     don't you think?
[16:39] Kasha
    Still, I didn't expect all my hard work
    to be ruined by that peculiar power.
[16:45] Kasha
    Who's the girl? A new shikigami?
[16:49] Aoi
    Himari isn't a shikigami.
[16:50] Aoi
    Don't you dare lay a hand on her.
[16:53] Kasha
    My! That gives me all the more reason to.
[16:58] Aoi
    Yukari! Ise! Protect Himari!
[17:00] Yukari/Ise
    As you wish!
[17:02] Kasha
    Go on now. Better transform into Nue.
[17:04] Kasha
    Your human form can't bear much more.
[17:06] Aoi
    You don't have to ask.
[17:16] Himari
    Torii-san!
[17:17] Kasha
    Now, young girl...
[17:19] Kasha
    No one can find you if you stay a mere ghost.
[17:23] Kasha
    Become a strong ayakashi,
    and your wish will be granted.
[17:30] Torii
    My wish...
[17:32] Kasha
    That's right. To that end, you
    must consume the Omamori-sama!
[17:49] Torii
    I'm lonely.
[17:51] Torii
    No one notices me.
[17:54] Torii
    I'm all alone.
[17:56] Himari
    That voice...
[17:59] Torii
    That's why I have to become
    a strong ayakashi.
[18:02] Torii
    It's the only way everyone will notice me.
[18:06] Torii
    The only way to make friends...
[18:09] Nue
    This means obliterating its soul, but alas.
[18:11] Nue
    Best to do it before it succumbs
    to Kasha's puppetry.
[18:13] Himari
    Torii-san!
[18:15] Ise
    Hey!
[18:16] Yukari
    Himari!
[18:24] Yukari/Ise
    Himari!
[18:25] Himari
    It's okay. I see you.
[18:29] Himari
    I can see you!
[18:34] Himari
    Torii-san!
[18:39] Himari
    Everything's okay.
[18:41] Torii
    Himari-chan...
[18:49] Torii
    I'm so lonely... I want friends...
[18:53] Torii
    I'm lonely...
[18:55] Torii
    So lonely...
[18:57] Torii
    Why won't anyone...
[18:59] Torii
    be my friend?
[19:09] Torii
    I'm sorry! I just wanted to make a friend...
[19:15] Torii
    That's all I wanted!
[19:17] Himari
    I know. It's okay. So please...
[19:21] Himari
    Don't talk like you don't have anyone.
[19:24] Himari
    We're already friends, aren't we?
[19:33] Torii
    Thank you, Himari-chan...
[19:40] Himari
    Torii-san...
[19:48] Kasha
    So a fragile drifter won't even
     make for decent amusement...
[19:52] Kasha
    How vapid.
[19:55] Himari
    How dare you?! Who are you, anyway?!
[19:57] Kasha
    I shall prepare better entertainment
    for next time.
[20:01] Kasha
    We'll meet again, Nue, my dear friend.
[20:11] Himari
    What the heck was that?
[20:13] Himari
    He called you his friend?
[20:16] Himari
    What's all that about?
[20:22] Aoi
    That was Kasha. He's on a different
     level from other ayakashi.
[20:27] Aoi
    Forget about him.
[20:29] Himari
    But...
[20:32] Aoi
    I'm sorry for bringing you into things.
[20:36] Himari
    Don't apologize.
[20:46] Iizuka
    H-Huh? I was in the bathroom, and then...
[20:50] Iizuka
    What happened after that?
[20:53] Senoo
    Didn't... some kind of black
    mist suddenly appear?
[20:59] Himari
    Um! That was, um...
[21:02] Himari
    Right! Our chimney broke!
[21:05] Himari
    Th-That's a stretch!
[21:07] Himari
    The stretchiest of stretches!
[21:09] Madarame
    You must have inhaled some
    smoke and seen things.
[21:13] Senoo
    What? But...
[21:15] Madarame
    Who cares either way?
[21:16] Madarame
    Momochi House is just another ordinary house.
[21:18] Madarame
    There's nothing haunted about this place.
[21:21] Iizuka
    You're right.
[21:23] Madarame
    Come on. We should get going.
[21:27] Senoo
    We were really seeing things?
    It seemed so real...
[21:31] Iizuka
    You know, I feel like I had
    a really weird dream, too.
[21:34] Himari
    Madarame-san, um...
[21:37] Madarame
    I didn't see or hear anything.
[21:41] Madarame
    And I'm sure your family had
    a good reason for dressing up.
[21:45] Himari
    Oh no, she noticed!
[21:47] Madarame
    Anyways, that's that.
[21:50] Madarame
    Bye, Himari! See you tomorrow.
[21:54] Himari
    Yeah, see you tomorrow!
[21:59] Himari
    Whether we can see it or not,
[22:02] Himari
    people bond before they even realize it.
[22:06] Himari
    Those connections may be
    as fragile and fine as thread.
[22:12] Himari
    But... we really were friends,
    weren't we, Torii-san?
