[00:01] Saori
    I have... this dream...
[00:05] Saori
    Every night.
[00:06] Saori
    She's like Ophelia...
[00:09] Saori
    She's probably deceased.
[00:13] Saori
    And it is this deceased
    person that I dream of.
[00:16] Saori
    Eventually, I no longer know
    who is looking at whom.
[00:25] Hiyakawa
    I see.
[00:27] Hiyakawa
    Well, if you would, Mikado-kun.
[00:28] Mikado
    But...
[00:30] Mikado
    Why do I have to do this?
[00:32] Hiyakawa
    Hurry up and do it, please.
[00:37] Saori
    Thank you for your help.
[00:39] Mikado
    Uh, of course.
[00:42] Mikado
    It's cold!
[00:46] Mikado
    What do you want me to do?
[00:48] Hiyakawa
    Don't worry.
[00:49] Hiyakawa
    I've got a firm hold on your lifeline.
[00:52] Mikado
    Is there a leash attached to me or something?
[00:55] Mikado
    What am I, a dog?
[03:09] Mikado
    Somehow it just doesn't feel finished.
[03:10] Hiyakawa
    What doesn't?
[03:13] Mikado
    The thing in the pond.
[03:15] Mikado
    If you wanted to, you could have
    driven it out completely,
[03:17] Mikado
    but you didn't, did you?
[03:20] Hiyakawa
    I thought that simply destroying
    it would be a waste.
[03:27] Hiyakawa
    It is...
[03:28] Hiyakawa
    something like a house that,
    once entered, cannot be left.
[03:35] Mikado
    Huh?
[03:37] Mikado
    Putting it like that doesn't
    make any sense to me.
[03:39] Mikado
    Can't you put it plainly?
[03:42] Hiyakawa
    I can't explain it properly yet.
[03:44] Mikado
    You can't explain it?
[03:47] Hiyakawa
    What's wrong?
[03:48] Mikado
    Oh, I just sort of suddenly...
[03:51] Mikado
    had a feeling like, "Hey, a pop idol's
    come to our little country village!"
[03:54] Hiyakawa
    Huh?
[03:55] Mikado
    You have no idea what I'm
    talking about, right?
[03:58] Mikado
    Sorry. I don't really know, either...
[04:07] Erika; spirit voice
    I'd like to talk.
[04:12] Mikado
    H-How did you know where we were?
[04:15] Hiyakawa
    I'm grateful you came to see us.
    There was something I wanted to ask you.
[04:20] Mikado
    Huh?
[04:22] Hiyakawa
    However, allow me to say this first.
[04:25] Hiyakawa
    This belongs to me, so please don't touch it.
[04:30] Erika
    Is that absolute?
[04:32] Hiyakawa
    It is.
[04:32] Mikado
    Huh?
[04:34] Erika
    Wow...
[04:35] Erika
    Isn't it crazy having such
    a controlling boyfriend?
[04:37] Hiyakawa
    It is not crazy.
[04:38] Mikado
    He's not my boyfriend!
[04:40] Mikado
    And what are you talking about, anyway?
[04:42] Erika
    Wait, what?
[04:44] Erika
    You let him do all that to you,
     and he isn't even your boyfriend?
[04:47] Erika
    I like it.
[04:48] Mikado
    Huh?
[04:49] Hiyakawa
    What brings you here today?
[04:51] Erika
    Oh, uh, well...
[04:53] Erika
    That's right! What are your names?
[04:56] Erika
    I'm Hiura Erika. You can call me Erika.
[04:59] Hiyakawa
    I'm Hiyakawa.
[05:00] Erika
    Hiyakawa what?
[05:02] Hiyakawa
    Rihito.
[05:03] Erika
    Rihito-kun.
[05:04] Erika
    What about you, Mikado-kun?
[05:06] Mikado
    K-Kousuke.
[05:08] Mikado
    But how do you know my last name?
[05:11] Erika
    Huh? Rihito-kun called you by it.
[05:13] Erika
    When you came to my school.
[05:17] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun.
[05:21] Hiyakawa
    What are you recalling?
[05:23] Erika
    Do you remember now, Kousuke-kun?
[05:25] Erika
    Your boyfriend's a jealous one.
[05:30] Hiyakawa
    Let him go.
[05:31] Erika
    Come on, let me. Just a little.
[05:36] Hiyakawa
    Let him go.
[05:38] Erika
    My, you really are a very jealous person.
[05:42] Erika
    What is this?
[05:50] Erika
    You've bound him?
[05:52] Hiyakawa
    Let go.
[05:53] Erika
    I don't know about that.
[05:54] Erika
    Rihito-kun, what are you planning
    to do with Kousuke-kun in the end?
[06:00] Hiyakawa
    There is no need for you to know that.
[06:02] Erika
    Hey, I said I came here
    to talk about something!
[06:06] Hiyakawa
    About what?
[06:07] Erika
    A consultation... Actually, if it's possible,
[06:10] Erika
    I want to quit my current job.
[06:12] Erika
    So I was hoping to get some advice from
    someone in the same line of work...
[06:18] Hiyakawa
    And what is your job?
[06:21] Erika
    A curse peddler.
[06:23] Mikado
    Curse peddler?
[06:24] Erika
    It's just what it sounds like.
[06:26] Erika
    There are bad people in the world,
[06:29] Erika
    and money is made off of people's misfortunes.
[06:31] Mikado
    So... the time we went to your school, too?
[06:35] Erika
    Oh, that was off the clock!
[06:37] Mikado
    What?
[06:39] Erika
    They're terrible people.
[06:41] Erika
    They do things like obstruct
    classes and bully people,
[06:44] Erika
    and no one stops them!
[06:46] Erika
    By the way, back then, you two...
[06:49] Erika
    knew who I was, didn't you?
[06:53] Erika
    What did you see?
[06:55] Hiyakawa
    The instrument you'd made from the
    dismembered bodies of three people.
[07:00] Mikado
    Instrument...
[07:01] Erika
    Oh, that?
[07:05] Erika
    Please don't look at me like that.
[07:07] Erika
    I didn't kill them myself.
[07:09] Mikado
    That's not the issue here!
[07:11] Erika
    That is exactly the issue.
[07:14] Erika
    It would be so much easier
    if I could do it myself.
[07:17] Erika
    That sort of thing is scary, so I can't.
[07:21] Erika
    But... there's someone
    even more afraid than me
[07:24] Erika
    who wants to make me do it.
[07:26] Erika
    That's the issue.
[07:30] Hiyakawa
    The curses you create are quite strong.
[07:34] Hiyakawa
    How do you do it?
[07:37] Erika
    There are dead people around, right?
[07:40] Erika
    They exist even inside me.
[07:42] Mikado
    What?
[07:43] Erika
    That's what saves me.
[07:47] Erika
    I control the spirits of the dead.
     They call me a necromancer.
[07:55] Sakaki
    Miss.
[07:57] Sakaki
    It's nearly your curfew.
[08:01] Mikado
    Whoa! He's even taller than you are!
[08:03] Erika
    How did you even follow me?
[08:05] Erika
    Do I have a GPS tracker embedded
    in my body or something?
[08:08] Erika
    I get scolded if I talk to men, you see.
[08:11] Erika
    They've got it in their heads that if I lose
    my virginity, I'll lose my powers, right?
[08:15] Sakaki
    I am only doing as I am told.
[08:18] Erika
    I know. After all, I'm the same.
[08:23] Erika
    Well, then, um...
[08:25] Erika; spirit voce
    I'd be happy if we could talk
    again at leisure sometime.
[08:28] Erika; spirit voice
    Sorry for, well, lots of things.
[08:31] Mikado
    That... voice...
[08:33] Erika
    Oh, yeah.
[08:35] Erika; spirit voice
    This guy can't hear me. Hilarious, right?
[08:39] Sakaki
    Miss.
[08:41] Erika
    Well, goodbye.
[08:54] Erika
    Don't hate me too much, okay?
[08:57] Erika
    Bye-bye.
[09:09] Mikado
    What was with that guy?
[09:13] Mikado
    He didn't have to be that rough!
[09:28] Mikado
    What is it?
[09:29] Hiyakawa; spirit voice
    ...hear me...
[09:30] Mikado
    Huh? I'm not sure.
[09:33] Mikado
    It sounded like I was hearing it underwater.
[09:36] Hiyakawa
    I see.
[09:37] Hiyakawa
    I suppose simply imitating isn't enough.
[09:40] Mikado
    Imitating? Wait, you don't mean...
[09:42] Mikado
    What Hiura Erika did?
[09:45] Erika; spirit voice
    I'd like to talk.
[09:47] Mikado
    Cut it out! That's dangerous, isn't it?
[09:49] Hiyakawa
    There's something I want to test.
[09:51] Mikado
    Listen to me! Also, not so close!
[09:54] Hiyakawa
    I just thought it might be dangerous
    if I don't hold you down, that's all.
[09:58] Mikado
    What? You're gonna do something dangerous?
[10:01] Hiyakawa
    Just a little. A curse.
[10:03] Mikado
    No! No way!
[10:05] Mikado
    What is this? I can't stand up!
[10:07] Mikado
    You're making your way inside
    my body without asking again!
[10:11] Hiyakawa
    No talking.
[10:14] Hiyakawa
    These things called curses
    are dangerous, you see.
[10:18] Hiyakawa
    They come in through your ears or eyes,
[10:20] Hiyakawa
    and they leave through your mouth.
[10:22] Hiyakawa
    When they come out of your
    mouth, they're stronger.
[10:24] Hiyakawa
    That is...
[10:25] Hiyawaka
    what I want to test through you.
[10:28] Hiyakawa
    Don't worry. The curse isn't directed at you.
[10:31] Hiyakawa
    Though, even so, you'll
    probably feel a little sick.
[10:36] Hiyakawa
    Trust me.
[10:38] Hiyakawa; spirit voice
    You are my...
[10:40] Hiyakawa; spirit voice
    destiny.
[10:50] Mukae
    Be careful.
[10:52] Erika
    What are you planning to do
    with Kousuke-kun in the end?
SIGN    Contract We agree to be bound to the following terms. Hiyakawa Rihito will supply Mikado Kousuke with work.
[10:56] Hiyakawa
    Let's write up a contract.
[11:01] Hiyakawa
    Don't let it come out yet.
    Hold it in just a little longer.
[11:07] Mikado
    What is this?
[11:09] Mikado
    What is this?
[11:11] Mikado
    What does he want me to do...
    want to do with me... do
to me?
[11:17] Mikado
    I should probably be
    thinking about that, but...
[11:20] Mikado
    I can't think.
[11:22] Hiyakawa
    That's probably as much as you can take.
[11:24] Mikado
    When did it start?
[11:26] (Flashback) Hiyakawa
    Our meeting must have been destiny!
[11:28] Mikado
    At the very beginning?
[11:30] (Flashback) Hiyakawa
    If you're with me, you won't be scared anymore.
[11:34] Mikado
    I know I have to think about it, but...
[11:38] (Flashback) Mikado's mom; 10 years earlier
    Kousuke, what's wrong?
[11:40] (Flashback) Mikado's mom; 10 years earlier
    Do you feel sick?
[11:41] (Flashback) Mikado; middle schooler
    M-Mom...
[11:44] (Flashback) Mikado's mom; 10 years earlier
    Are you all right?
[11:46] (Flashback) Mikado; middle schooler
    I-I'm not sure. I-I might have a cold. Sorry.
[11:51] Mikado
    All this time...
[11:53] Mikado
    All this time, there wasn't a single person
[11:55] Mikado
    I could say "I'm scared" to...

[12:10] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun?
[12:12] Hiyakawa
    It's all right now.
[12:16] Hiyakawa
    Let me have it.
[12:20] Mikado
    I don't want to think about it.
[12:24] Mikado
    Sorry.
[12:25] Mikado
    I tried to dodge the issue,
    but I just couldn't refuse.
[12:28] Hiyakawa
    I don't mind. Having more work
    is something to be grateful for.
[12:32] Hiyakawa
    A classmate from middle school, was it?
[12:34] Mikado
    Yeah. We weren't close at all, but...
SIGN    Isogaki
SIGN    It's been ages!
SIGN    Isogaki
SIGN    I know this is sudden, but can you really see ghosts?
[12:38] Mikado
    He contacted me out of the blue,
[12:40] Mikado
    saying that his fiancée was acting weird.
[12:45] Mikado
    Hey, what do you say to
    the people around you?
[12:48] Hiyakawa
    What?
[12:49] Mikado
    Like, to your parents and friends,
    when you deal with paranormal stuff.
[12:54] Hiyakawa
    I don't have parents or friends.
[12:56] Mikado
    Huh?
[12:57] Mikado
    Oh... I'm sorry.
[13:00] Hiyakawa
    It's fine.
[13:01] Hiyakawa
    Is there something troubling you?
[13:05] Mikado
    No, not really.
[13:07] Mikado
    It's just that when you're different from
    everyone, they treat you like a joke.

    Seriously?

[13:13] (Flashback) male student B
    He just wants attention, I bet.
[13:15] Hiyakawa
    All you need to do is stop associating
    with people who are different from you.
[13:22] Hiyakawa
    This is it, isn't it?
[13:30] Isogaki
    Hey, I've been expecting you!
[13:31] Mikado
    It's been a whi—
[13:34] Isogaki
    What is it? You just got here.
[13:39] Hiyakawa
    Well, well... Pleased to
    meet you. I'm Hiyakawa.
[13:44] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun, please explain
    what it looks like to you.
[13:47] Isogaki
    Huh? What do you mean, "what it looks like"?
[13:51] Mikado
    H-Her face... It's all swirled
    up, like whipped cream...
[13:56] Isogaki
    What?
[13:57] Mikado
    Her hand, too! It's really strong there.
[14:01] Mikado
    The shape... It's like it's being pinched...
[14:04] Isogaki
    Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[14:08] Isogaki
    Miyuki?
[14:09] Miyuki
    Huh?
[14:10] Miyuki
    L-Let's have them come inside, okay?
[14:13] Isogaki
    Uh, sure.
[14:15] Hiyakawa
    Pardon the intrusion.
[14:16] Miyuki
    This way.
[14:18] Isogaki
    He is kinda creepy, huh?
[14:20] Miyuki
    Stop that. He took the
    time to come here for us.
[14:25] Hiyakawa
    Mikado-kun?
[14:28] Hiyakawa
    Let's finish this quickly and
    get something delicious to eat.
[14:35] Mikado
    Yeah.
[14:39] Isogaki
    Hey.
[14:40] Mikado
    I can't. I'm scared.
[14:42] Mikado
    This room is insane. I can't open my eyes.
[14:45] Isogaki
    Huh?!
[14:46] Isogaki
    You know, you're being really rude!
[14:48] Miyuki
    Why not?
[14:50] Mikado
    I feel like I'll make eye contact...
[14:54] Mikado
    From the crevices between objects...
[14:58] Mikado
    It's watching.
[15:07] Isogaki
    Hey, are you okay?
[15:09] Miyuki
    I-It's my mother.
[15:11] Isogaki
    Huh?
[15:12] Isogaki
    Your mother... passed away, didn't she?
[15:15] Miyuki
    Sh-She's alive.
[15:18] Isogaki
    What?
[15:21] Miyuki
    She's alive.
[15:23] Isogaki
    Why would you lie about that? Why?
[15:26] Miyuki
    Well, I mean... If I get married,
    she might want to live with us...
[15:31] Miyuki
    And she'd make a mess of the ceremony!

    filled with her number anymore!

[15:55] Hiyakawa
    No, it's likely a curse that

[16:00] Hiyakawa
    Do you have any idea about the item?

    In the small drawer by the window.

    about me more than anyone else.

    She always watched over me!
[16:57] Miyuki
    She always, always watched me...
    Watched and watched...
[17:00] Miyuki
    If that gets thrown out,
    Mother will pinch me!
[17:16] Hiyakawa
    This is magnificent work for an amateur.
[17:21] Hiyakawa
    Shall we dispose of this for you?

    Uh, yes. If you would, please.

    you come here, but just leave.

    And don't ever contact me, all right?

    Mikado-kun.
[17:47] Hiyakawa
    Please gather up the money.
    We'll be taking our leave.
[18:03] Isogaki
    Hey!
[18:05] Isogaki
    Don't get all cocky thinking
    you've got dirt on me now!
[18:09] Mikado
    You have better things to do
    than yell at me, don't you?
[18:13] Mikado
    Your girlfriend is crying.
[18:22] Hiyakawa
    What do you want to eat?
[18:24] Mikado
    Huh? Oh, well, I've been
    staying away from meat, so...
[18:28] Mikado
    Some kind of meat, I guess.
[18:32] Hiyakawa
    Hm? Some kind of meat?
[18:34] Mikado
    Huh? Uh, yeah. I want Mongolian barbecue.
[18:39] Hiyakawa
    That reminds me. What are your parents like?
[18:44] Mikado
    My parents?
[18:46] Hiyakawa
    You asked about my parents, didn't you?
[18:48] Hiyakawa
    It made me wonder.
[18:51] Mikado
    I've only got my mom.
    She's not particularly good or bad.
[18:56] Hiyakawa
    Does your mother know
    how good your eyesight is?
[19:00] Mikado
    Huh? Oh... I don't know.
[19:03] Mikado
    I've never told her I see things.
[19:08] Mikado
    I was scared that if I said anything,
    she'd just reject it.
[19:12] Mikado
    It's reality for me, but she's not just anyone.
[19:17] Mikado
    My mom is probably the one
    person I really couldn't tell.
[19:26] Mikado's mom
    You're not doing any shady work, are you?
[19:29] Mikado
    Huh?
[19:30] Mikado's mom
    I went to Hori Books today, and the manager
    said you'd started another part-time job.
[19:35] Mikado
    Huh? I swear, that guy...
[19:38] Mikado's mom
    And then he said, "Oh, wait! It was a secret!"
[19:41] Mikado's mom
    That just made me worry even more!
[19:43] Mikado
    Ugh, seriously...
[19:45] Mikado's mom
    So?
[19:45] Mikado
    Don't worry. It's just a cleaning service.
[19:49] Mikado's mom
    Really?
[19:53] Mikado
    I mean, it's work that other
    people don't really want to do.
[19:56] Mikado's mom
    Hmm...
[19:59] Mikado's mom
    Well, be careful, okay?
[20:00] Mikado
    I will.
[20:02] Mikado
    Um...
[20:03] Mikado's mom
    Yes?
[20:05] Mikado
    What kind of person is my father?
[20:11] Mikado's mom
    I don't know.
[20:12] Mikado
    What?
[20:13] Mikado's mom
    I don't mean that I don't know who he is!
[20:16] Mikado's mom
    He was here until you were four.
[20:19] Mikado's mom
    But... he suddenly just disappeared.
[20:22] Mikado
    Disappeared?
[20:23] Mikado's mom
    I don't know why he left, or what
    kind of person he really was.
[20:28] Mikado's mom
    I don't know anything anymore.
[20:31] Mikado's mom
    I mean, he took all the photos
    of himself and everything!
[20:35] Mikado
    What? I thought you'd gotten rid of them.
[20:38] Mikado's mom
    I'd never do that!
[20:40] Mikado's mom
    Even if they were my ex-husband's,
[20:42] Mikado's mom
    I'd never just toss them all out.
[20:44] Mikado's mom
    And he is your father, after all.
[20:47] Mikado
    Yeah.
[20:52] Erika
    Mother.
[20:54] Erika
    Mother.
[21:11] Erika
    I was calling to you...
[21:20] Erika
    I was calling to you...
[21:20] Erika; spirit voice
    Can't you hear me?
[21:23] Mikado's mom
    Your manager is always so funny!
[21:27] Mikado
    He really is.
[21:40] Erika
    I was calling to her...
[21:43] Hiura's dad
    Sakaki, where is Erika?
[21:45] Sakaki
    The young miss said she wasn't feeling well.
[21:48] Hiura's dad
    That again?
[21:49] Sensei
    I'm sure she just doesn't want to see me.
[21:52] Hiura's dad
    No, that can't be!
[21:54] Hiura's dad
    Sir, I'll give her a talking-to!
[21:57] Sensei
    Don't worry about it.
[21:59] Sensei
    She has talent. And her way
    of thinking is so unfettered.
[22:03] Sensei
    She's just...
[22:05] Sensei
    adorable, isn't she?
