[00:06] Mikado     Uh... [00:07] female shop clerk     I heard from the manager. [00:10] female shop clerk     The thing is, I have a favor to ask. [00:12] female shop clerk     There's a fortune-teller      who's scary accurate. [00:15] female shop clerk     I want you to investigate to     see if they're the real deal. [00:17] Mikado     Huh? [00:18] female shop clerk     Mikado-kun, you're looking     at my boobs, aren't you? [00:20] Mikado     Uh, no. I've never looked at them. [00:22] female shop clerk     You'll do this favor for me, right? [00:24] Mikado     I'll have to ask my employer if— [00:27] female shop clerk     You think looking's free? [02:00] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, I've been thinking about     the reason you're unable to say no... [02:03] Mikado     Does it matter? She was nice     enough to say she'd pay. [02:07] Hiyakawa     I was trying to think of a way to make it     so that you can't refuse my requests. [02:12] Mikado     Huh? [02:13] Mikado     Unless it's something totally     insane, I won't refuse. [02:18] Hiyakawa     You really are... [02:19] Mikado     So what are we going to do?     We can only go in one at a time. [02:23] Mikado     And it's not like we can just go     in and ask, "Hey, are you a fake?" [02:27] Hiyakwa     You go, and just be normal. [02:35] Mikado     Seriously? [02:36] Hiyakawa     This is that "astral projection" thing. [02:40] Mukae     Hello! [02:42] Mukae     Please have a seat. [02:43] Mukae     You don't look like someone     with a lot of troubles. [02:50] Mikado     You seem pretty normal. [02:53] Mukae     I am normal! Some people call     it "spirit sense" or whatever, [02:55] Mukae     but for me, it's just a regular     sense that I've had forever. [02:59] Mikado     Oh... Yeah, that makes sense. [03:01] Mukae     You seem to have really good luck. [03:04] Mukae     Even if you were involved in an     accident, you'd escape death. [03:07] Mikado     Wouldn't an accident mean my luck is— [03:09] Mukae     Still, this is... Is it an ancestor     of your mother's? [03:12] Mukae     They're protecting you. [03:14] Mikado     I've never met anyone like that. [03:15] Mukae     And it's because you've never met     that this person is worried for you! [03:18] Mukae     Can I have a look at your hand? [03:20] Mukae     Ah, this palm... This is the hand     of someone who has studied hard. [03:25] Mikado     Oh, yeah, you can still see     the calluses from my pen— [03:27] Mikado     Ow! [03:28] Mukae     Are you for real?     You're getting on my nerves. [03:30] Mikado     Huh? [03:31] Mukae     And that guy behind you. Is he with you? [03:43] Mukae     Damn. [03:45] Hiyakawa as Mikado     Violent, aren't you? [03:46] Mukae     I get a lot of problematic customers,     you see. Who are you guys? [03:50] Mikado     Wait... [03:51] Hiyakawa as Mikado     Mikado-kun, you were the perfect choice. [03:54] Hiyakawa as Mikado     Not at all suited for a reading. [03:57] Hiyakawa as Mikado     The fortune-telling is fraudulent. [03:59] Hiyakawa as Mikado     We'll inform our client to that effect. [04:01] Mukae     I see. Obstruction of business, is it? [04:04] Mukae     In that case... [04:05] Mukae     I'll make you keep quiet! [04:06] Mikado     Don't hit him! That's my body! [04:09] Hiyakawa     Huh? [04:12] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, you're amazing! [04:14] Hiyakawa     You kicked me out! [04:16] Mikado     I got hit. [04:17] Mikado     Tomorrow, the stupidly bulky special edition     of a stupidly bulky fashion magazine [04:21] Mikado     comes out and I have to stack them      for display, but now my shoulder hurts. [04:25] Hiyakawa     Is that an incantation? [04:26] Mikado     It's my work at the bookstore, you moron! [04:28] Mukae     What a boring side job. [04:30] Hiyakawa     You should quit already so     you can work just for me. [04:32] Mikado     I didn't ask for advice!     You two, explain all this! Now! [04:35] Hiyakawa     His spirit sense or whatnot     was strong, thus dangerous, [04:38] Hiyakawa     so I borrowed your body. [04:40] Mukae     Hey, you gonna accept     an explanation like that? [04:43] Mukae     Huh? [04:45] Mukae     Whoa, this guy's spirit is     all stretched out and loose. [04:48] Mukae     That's dangerous! [04:50] Hiyakawa     Let go of him. [04:54] Mukae     Could you maybe not obstruct my business? [04:57] Mukae     The fortunes may be fake,     but I really do have spirit sense, [05:00] Mukae     so I do have some foundation for my readings. [05:02] Mukae     For example! [05:03] Mukae     Your suit was bought on sale,     off-the-rack, at an outlet. [05:06] Mukae     You wore your shoes until the zipper     broke, then had them fixed once. [05:10] Mukae     Your hair is a 1,000-yen barber shop cut. [05:12] Mukae     The profile's rough. I don't recommend     2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. [05:15] Mukae     Your shirt's brand-name, but it's old. [05:17] Mukae     That color was prêt-à-porter     four years ago. [05:20] Mukae     All of the buttons except the third     have been replaced with cheap ones. [05:23] Mukae     So how much did this pathetic     get-up cost you altogether? [05:26] Mukae     20,000 yen? 30,000? [05:27] Mukae     That's hilarious. [05:28] Mukae     If you're wondering, out of 6,000 yen      for a 40-minute consultation, [05:32] Mukae     my take is 3,600. [05:34] Hiyakawa     You have completely enraged me. [05:38] Mikado     Hold on. Was there anything to     be mad about in what he said? [05:41] Mikado     That wasn't even fortune-telling.     You just stated what you saw. [05:44] Mukae     As long as I'm right, it doesn't matter. [05:46] Mukae     Once the client believes in me,     they'll tell me everything. [05:50] Mukae     They all just want someone to     listen. That's what this place is. [05:55] Mukae     Plus, when someone who's cursed for     real happens to come in, I help them. [05:59] Hiyakawa     Cursed? [06:00] Mukae     Every once in a while. You've never seen it? [06:03] Mukae     Some are so strong, I can't pull them off— [06:05] Hiyakawa     Hiura Erika. [06:07] Mukae     You know her?! [06:08] Hiyakawa     No, just her name. [06:10] Mukae     Have you seen the curse? It's all     over the body, eating away at it. [06:15] Hiyakawa     Yes, I've seen the like. [06:16] Mikado     W-Wait, what do you mean? [06:18] Hiyakawa     I once had a client come in thinking it     might be a paranormal phenomenon, [06:21] Hiyakawa     but it was beyond my abilities,     so I declined the job. [06:23] Mukae     Whether I pulled the curse off or left it, [06:26] Mukae     I figured the person was going     to die anyway, so I gave up. [06:29] Mikado     How do you know Hiura Erika did it? [06:32] Mukae     I heard it. [06:34] curse's voice     Hiura Erika tricked me. [06:37] Mukae     It's weird, though, how she     reveals her identity in her curse. [06:42] Hiyakawa     I wonder if doing so increases the potency. [06:45] Hiyakawa     The other day, we found an     instrument she'd used in a curse. [06:48] Mukae     Instrument? [06:50] Hiyakawa     The bodies of murder victims. [06:51] Mukae     For real? That's... That's not     work for respectable people. [06:57] Mukae     I mean, you guys aren't working     anything shady, right? [07:00] Mukae     Oh, c'mon! Getting involved in stuff     like that is no good, I tell you! [07:05] Hiyakawa     I see. Understood. [07:07] Mukae     H-Hey! [07:08] Mukae     Don't go spreading it around that I'm a fake! [07:11] Mikado     Well, then... [07:13] Mukae     Listen, man. [07:14] Mukae     You'd be better off cutting     ties with that guy. [07:16] Mukae     Letting him borrow your     body like it's nothing, [07:18] Mukae     letting him stick his hand inside you... [07:20] Mukae     You know that's not normal, right? [07:23] Mukae     It's dangerous. [07:25] Mikado     Yeah. [07:30] Hiyakawa     There aren't any boys'     bathrooms in a girls' school. [07:34] Hiyakawa     It's a good thing your teacher     let us on campus so easily. [07:37] Kana     Our teacher saw one once, too. [07:40] Hiyakawa     Saw what? [07:41] Kana     A corpse. Suddenly, I'll notice I can see     a corpse out of the corner of my eye. [07:46] Kana     When I turn to look, it disappears. [07:47] Hiyakawa     Interesting. And does it happen     indiscriminately to everyone near you? [07:51] Kana     It starts when I'm not     in contact with others. [07:54] Kana     If people are with me, sometimes they     see it and sometimes they don't. [07:56] Kana     It's not like it was ever a daily thing,     but the day before yesterday... [08:00] Kana     For a split second, I saw a severed     head in a toilet bowl! [08:04] Kana     And I just couldn't take it anymore! [08:05] Mikado     Um, wait... Your face... [08:08] Kana     What?! I haven't said anything     about my face yet, have I?! [08:12] Hiyakawa     Did you see something? [08:14] Mikado     Wait, no way. It's just me? [08:16] Hiyakawa     It's because your eyesight is so good. [08:18] Kana     My face is weird. [08:20] Kana     When I look in a mirror, once in     five times, there's a hole there. [08:24] Kana     A gaping hole. [08:26] Hiyakawa     Please try letting go of their hands. [08:29] Kana     I don't want to! If I let go,     it will show up again. [08:32] Hiyakawa     Please let go. [08:41] Hiyakawa     Everyone, stay as you are. [08:43] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, how does it look? [08:45] Mikado     It's that thing over there, right? [08:48] Kana     It did show up! I can't take      this anymore! Help me! [08:52] Mikado     Isn't that thing... not dead? [08:55] Hiyakawa     Thank you, Mikado-kun!      I thought that might be it! [08:58] Hiyakawa     Kana-san, you've been cursed! [09:01] Kana; Mikado     What?! [09:02] Hiyakawa     Besides when you're apart from others,     when else do you see it? [09:05] Hiyakawa     Also, do you feel anything special     with me touching you right now? [09:09] Mikado     Hey, that's sexual harassment. [09:10] Kana     Nothing in particular right now. And it     doesn't appear when I'm having fun. [09:14] Kana     It comes out when I'm alone,     or when I'm unhappy. [09:17] Hiyakawa     I see. How splendid. [09:19] Mikado     Huh? [09:20] Hiyakawa     It isn't a dire curse,     but it is definitely effective. [09:24] Hiyakawa     It can make you, one with no spirit sense,     see illusions that exhaust you. [09:28] Mikado     Illusions? [09:30] Hiyakawa     It's likely that it's set so that you see     them when you're in a negative mindset. [09:35] Hiyakawa     A vicious cycle. It's very well-crafted. [09:38] Mikado     So that means someone     did this on purpose, [09:40] Mikado     and there's a curse instrument somewhere? [09:43] Hiyakawa     Please show me where you keep your things. [09:47] Kana     My locker is this way. [09:50] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [09:51] Hiyakawa     You're not scared? [09:53] Mikado     Huh? [09:54] Hiyakawa     You're oddly... I guess you could     say quiet this time. It's odd. [09:59] Hiyakawa     You're not scared? [10:00] Mikado     Oh, hey. Somehow... I'm not. [10:05] Hiyakawa     It's quite messy. [10:06] Kana     No one asked you! [10:07] Hiyakawa     Doesn't seem like there'd be anything here. [10:10] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, can you come here a minute? [10:14] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun? [10:18] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [10:20] Kana     Hey... That's my desk! How did you know? [10:25] Mikado     There's a hole. [10:27] Hiyakawa     That is a hole. This is the instrument. [10:30] Hiyakawa     You're not scared? [10:32] girl C     Oh, there are men here. Why? [10:34] teacher     They're here on business. [10:36] girl C     Oh, Sensei. [10:39] Mikado     I'm scared, but... [10:43] Mikado     It's weird. I feel the way     I did when I first met you. [10:47] Hiyakawa     When you met me? [10:49] teacher     Oh, that's right. Hiura-san, your     parent-teacher conference is tomorrow. [10:56] Erika     It's at four, right? [11:01] Mikado     It's the same as when I met you. [11:05] Mikado     Strong... [11:07] Mikado     and captivating. [11:11] Hiyakawa     Hiura Erika. [11:13] Kana     So what's going on? [11:16] Hiyakawa     The source has been dealt     with for the time being. [11:19] Hiyakawa     It was man-made, so I don't think you'll     need to worry about it recurring. [11:23] Mikado     In order to make sure nothing     like it happens again, [11:25] Mikado     it would be wise to search inside     yourself for the original cause. [11:31] Mikado     Am I wrong? [11:33] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun? [11:34] Mikado     Mikado-kun... [11:40] Mikado     Huh? [11:41] teacher     Then if you could please take your leave... [11:45] Mikado     Yes. Well, until another time. [11:55] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun, do you remember what you said? [11:59] Mikado     What I... [12:00] Mikado     Wait, huh? [12:01] Hiyakawa     What did you think of Hiura Erika? [12:06] Mikado     I like her. [12:08] Mikado     Huh? Wait, that's weird, right? [12:11] Mikado     Hey, wait! [12:15] Hiyakawa     Let's write up a contract. [12:17] Mikado     A contract? [12:19] Hiyakawa     I've been having you work here with     only a verbal agreement, after all. SIGN    Contract We agree to be bound to the following terms. Hiyakawa Rihito will supply Mikado Kousuke with work. [12:25] Mikado     You wrote it by hand.

[12:48] Hiyakawa     We should have done this from     the very beginning, huh? [12:51] Hiyakawa     Since you so easily allow her     to do whatever she likes. [12:55] (Flashback) Mikado     Well, until another time. [12:58] Hiyakawa     I do see how she might be captivating, [13:00] Hiyakawa     but we can't have that. [13:03] Hiyakawa     Mikado-kun. [13:05] Hiyakawa     Can you hear me? [13:10] Mikado     I can't breathe. [13:12] Hiyakawa     You'll get used to it soon enough. [13:13] Mikado     Wh-Why are you tying me up? [13:15] Hiyakawa     Because I am making you mine. [13:18] Mikado     What are you talki— [13:19] Mukae     This is why I told you [13:21] Mukae     you're better off cutting ties with that guy. [13:23] Hiyakawa     See? Just like that, you let     people other than me in! [13:27] Hiyakawa     I am the one who found you. [13:30] Hiyakawa     You belong to me. [13:41] Hiyakawa     You're awake? [13:44] Mikado     Did I fall asleep? [13:45] Hiyakawa     You don't feel sick? [13:48] Mikado     No. I feel refreshed, maybe because I slept. [13:51] Hiyakawa     Oh? In that case... [13:53] Hiyakawa     It was for the best, after all. [13:57] Hiyakawa     Want to go eat something? [13:59] Mikado     Food? [14:01] Mikado     Crap, it's night! How long did I sleep? [14:05] Mikado     I'm going home. I'm on dinner duty tonight. [14:08] Hiyakawa     I see. Then I'll see you later. [14:10] Mikado     Yeah. See you later.

[14:25] idol     I keep wondering if someone is there. [14:27] MC     That kind of thing happens all     the time in the staff restroom. [14:30] idol     I'm talking about my bathroom at home! [14:33] MC     You sure you're not just going senile? [14:35] idol     It's not like that! I mean,     it's locked from the inside! [14:40] idol     Please, come in. [14:41] Mikado     She's been on TV! [14:43] Mikado     What's going on? How'd this happen? [14:46] Mukae     Lots of stuff happens when     you're a fortune-teller. [14:49] Mikado     Even though you're a fake? [14:51] Mikado     And why did you ask me to... [14:55] Mikado     Are you fixing the door to     your bathroom or something? [14:58] idol     Um... [15:00] Mikado     Hang on! Is this a ghost case? [15:04] Mikado     I shouldn't have come! [15:04] Mukae     So, something's up with your bathroom? [15:06] idol     Yes. You should only be able to lock it     and turn on the light from the inside. [15:11] Mukae     And yet, sometimes it's like there's     someone in there, even when no one's there? [15:16] Mikado     Huh? [15:17] Mikado     There's a door? [15:19] Mukae     How do you see things, exactly? [15:21] Mikado     I can't see the door. [15:23] Mukae     Really? Mikado-kun, come here a sec, will you? [15:26] Mikado     No way! [15:27] Mukae     It's fine, don't worry. [15:32] Mukae     You okay? [15:33] Mikado     What is this? [15:34] Mukae     The inside of your head and mine,     isolated from everything else. [15:38] Mukae     To use a more occult-ish word,     you could call it a barrier. [15:44] Mukae     You're the first person to be     able to enter this easily, though. [15:48] Mukae     Normally, the flow of time     is different, like that. [15:51] Mikado     What is this? It's scary. [15:53] Mukae     Try syncing with me a minute.     Do you know how to align your senses? [15:57] Mikado     Hiyakawa-san said he was going     to do that before, and he bit me. [16:01] Mukae     What? You know, you really are... [16:04] Mukae     I'm not like him. I won't force my way in. [16:09] Mukae     Can you feel it? Match your breathing,     heartbeat, everything, to me. [16:14] Mukae     See? Unlike him, I'm gentle, right? [16:19] Mukae     What I'm seeing and what you're seeing... [16:22] Mukae     They're synced. Can you tell? [16:25] Mikado     I can tell. There's something there. [16:28] Mukae     Yeah, there is. [16:34] Mukae     It's the girl herself. [16:36] Mikado     Wha... What the heck is this?! [16:38] living ghost (ikiryou)     No good... [16:39] Mukae     I wonder if she's the type     to send out living ghosts. [16:42] Mukae     All her self-poisoning negativity     ended up taking physical form, huh? [16:46] living ghost     No good... [16:48] Mukae     What's no good? [16:49] living ghost     Me... I can't... anymore... [16:53] Mikado     Hiyakawa-san said it's impossible     to speak with these things. [16:57] Mukae     He can't. But I can and do. [16:59] living ghost     I'm scared... [17:00] Mikado     I can't. I feel sick. It's like     motion sickness seeping into me... [17:04] living ghost     I want to die... [17:05] Mukae     You really are sensitive, aren't you? [17:07] Mukae     Come on, look here. [17:07] living ghost     No, wait... [17:09] Mikado     We're connected. [17:11] Mukae     See? You can just lie there     and let me do all the work. [17:13] living ghost     No good... [17:14] Mukae     What's no good? [17:15] living ghost     Me. [17:16] Mukae     Why? [17:18] living ghost     I can't. I'm scared. I want to die. [17:22] living ghost     No, wait. That was a lie. [17:24] living ghost     I'm... no good. I'm tired. [17:28] Mukae     I see. [17:30] Mukae     Yes, it's all right. [17:34] Mukae     Mikado-kun? [17:35] Mukae     Mikado-kun? [17:39] Mukae     Mikado! [17:45] idol     So... what do you think? [17:47] Mukae     We've already finished. [17:49] idol     What? [17:50] idol     But you haven't— [17:51] Mukae     It might look like we haven't     done anything, but we have. [17:54] Mukae     For the time being, let's stop the habit     of complaining in the bathroom, shall we? [17:57] idol     How did you know that? [17:58] Mukae     You're not "no good" at all, okay? [18:01] Mukae     Don't worry! [18:03] Mukae     Mikado-kun, can you still see anything? [18:08] Mikado     No, there's nothing here. [18:11] Mikado     Oh... [18:11] Mukae     Huh? [18:12] Mikado     There's a cockro— [18:13] idol     No way! Yuck! Please kill it!     Right now! I'm begging you! [18:16] Mikado     Uh, of course. [18:20] Mikado     She reacted more to that     last part than anything else. [18:24] Mukae     You okay with leaving it like that? [18:25] Mikado     Leaving what? [18:26] Mukae     You probably could have     gotten her contact info. [18:28] Mikado     No, thanks. I don't need a girl who's so     negative that she causes paranormal activity. [18:33] Mukae     Well, girls who become celebrities     tend to be pretty strong-willed. [18:37] Mukae     For better or worse. [18:39] Mikado     Besides, I think I like     people who are stronger. [18:43] Mikado     So, Mukae-kun, you're actually more— [18:46] Mukae     Huh? [18:46] Mikado     Sorry, that was weird.      I d-didn't mean it like that. [18:52] Mukae     Well, you do like getting bound. [18:54] Mikado     I do not. I've never been tied up. [18:58] Mukae     Hey, wait. You actually haven't noticed? [19:02] Mikado     Noticed what? [19:04] Mukae     What do you mean, "what"? There... [19:07] Mukae     You've got a rope tied to you. Like a dog. [19:09] Mikado     Huh? [19:11] Mikado     What did he mean, "a rope"?     I'm not Hiyakawa-san's pet. [19:16] Mikado     Or is that how it looks to other people? [19:26] Mikado     What... is this? [19:28] Hiyakawa     It seems you're her type. [19:32] Hiyakawa     I came to see because I was worried. [19:34] Hiyakawa     If you walk around in a     daze, you'll get molested. [19:37] Hiyakawa     They aim for those with their guards down. [19:40] Mikado     H-Help me... [19:42] Hiyakawa     I can't grab it yet.     It's like jelly that hasn't set. [19:47] Hiyakawa     And it's crawling around inside you. [19:49] Hiyakawa     Wait just a little longer. [19:52] Mikado     And what did you mean, I'm "her type"? [19:56] Hiyakawa     I suppose you could say your     boundaries are easy to violate. [19:59] Hiyakawa     And when it's that easy,     it's a problem for me, too. [20:04] Hiyakawa     Well, I think that's enough. [20:07] Hiyakawa     I'll pull it out slowly. [20:11] Mikado     Wha—Wait! Stop! [20:13] Mikado     That wasn't slow at all... [20:15] Hiyakawa     You sure have a lot of requests. [20:17] Mikado     Can't you, like, hide us or something? [20:20] Hiyakawa     Hide us? [20:21] Mikado     Mukae-kun did. He made a barrier-like thing. [20:24] Hiyakawa     Huh? [20:25] Hiyakawa     You mean that fake fortune-teller? [20:27] Mikado     Yeah. He said it was, uh... isolating us. [20:31] Hiyakawa     And that's why you... [20:33] Hiyakawa     allowed him to do things to you again? [20:35] Mikado     Huh? [20:35] Hiyakawa     Just like that, you let     anyone and everyone... [20:38] Hiyakawa     If you don't fix that bad habit,     it's going to cause problems. [20:44] Hiyakawa     See? I can isolate us, too. [20:49] Hiyakawa     I could just keep you locked in here, [20:52] Hiyakawa     but it sort of defeats the purpose. [20:56] Hiyakawa     Please fix your bad habits. [21:05] Hiyakawa     You fell unconscious. [21:07] Mikado     Huh? [21:08] Hiyakawa     So I carried you here. [21:11] Mikado     My memories... seem a little fuzzy again. [21:15] Hiyakawa     Yes. It's because you lost consciousness. [21:18] Mikado     Huh? [21:19] Hiyakawa     But... this sort of thing isn't good, is it? [21:23] Hiyakawa     I didn't mean to, but I flew into a rage. [21:28] Mikado     Um, to be honest, I have no idea     what the context behind that is... [21:32] Mikado     But I'm fine and everything, so... [21:35] Hiyakawa     I see. [21:36] Hiyakawa     I would appreciate if it you didn't     lose your fondness for me. [21:40] Hiyakawa     If you don't stay, it will     cause problems for me.
