00:00Excuse me, could I get another cup of coffee?
00:25Right.
00:27Okay, the truth is...
00:29Here goes, I need help. I have a favor to ask you.
00:41I...
00:42A favor?
00:45Yes. It's a personal matter and not really something I would normally talk about,
00:50but I've given it a lot of thought and decided that you might be able to help me.
00:54I know it's asking a lot, but will you please at least hear me out?
00:57Well, I guess I can manage that.

02:57I'm telling the story all wrong I guess I'm just not used to talking about it
03:02The first thing you should know is that my uncle went to India seven years ago
03:06And he's been missing ever since
03:08I was very fond of him when I was a little girl
03:11Unlike most other adults he would answer all my questions no matter how silly they seemed
03:16He was so smart it seemed to me that there was nothing he didn't know
03:20When I was in kindergarten I learned that my uncle was in the Classic Lit Club
03:25That's when I became interested in it
03:27I especially liked it because the name reminded me of the vinegar kelp we ate at home
03:32Seriously?
03:33Anyway one day I asked my uncle about something having to do with the Classic Lit Club
03:40And for the first time I can remember he was reluctant to answer my question
03:45So what'd you do?
03:46Well I threw a huge tantrum to be honest
03:50And I did convince him to answer my question eventually
03:53But when he told me what I wanted to know I...
03:57Yeah you what?
03:59I started to cry
04:00I don't know if it was because I was scared or sad or what but I was bawling
04:05Okay
04:06The sound must have startled my mom because she came rushing in to see if I was okay
04:10But my uncle he didn't do anything to comfort or reassure me
04:14Afterwards I couldn't remember what my uncle had said only my reaction to it
04:19I guess I was in shock
04:21Then when I was in middle school I started wondering about that strange conversation again
04:25What made my uncle so hesitant to answer me?
04:28Why didn't he react when I was upset?
04:34I still have so many questions
04:36I just want answers
04:38And I've tried to get them
04:40We've become estranged from the Sekitani family and I haven't been able to get in touch with them at all
04:45No matter what I do I can't remember what he said
04:48So when I started at Kamihai I signed up for the Classic Lit Club
05:06I figured it would be my last chance to get to the bottom of everything
05:09So that's the personal matter you're always talking about?
05:14This is it
05:15Of course I had no way of knowing that the club was about to be shut down
05:18I asked around in the faculty room
05:20But there weren't any teachers who remembered a Jun Sekitani from 45 years ago
05:26Okay
05:27I still don't get why you're asking me for help though
05:29Because you...
05:31You think about things differently
05:33You have this way of reaching conclusions that would have never occurred to me
05:37Like with the lock
05:38And the library book
05:39And that secret club recruitment note
05:42You can do this, Araki
05:44If anyone can help me find the answers I'm looking for, it's you
05:48You're really giving me too much credit
05:50That other stuff was just lock, that's all
05:52I don't care if it's just lock, I'll take it
05:54I don't want to
05:55I don't want to
06:00This is a big deal to Chitanda
06:02She spent years obsessing over this question
06:04There's no telling how much learning the answer to it might affect her
06:08And she's asking someone like me to take on a responsibility like that?
06:13She's gotta be kidding
06:16I still don't get why you picked me
06:18There's gotta be some other people who can help you with this, right?
06:22Strength in numbers might be your best bet, you know?
06:24Ask a bunch of your friends to help and I'm sure you'll get it done in no time
06:30Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm kind of a private person
06:33I don't talk about my past very much
06:36This story isn't the kind of thing I can tell just anybody
06:43Sorry
06:44I know I'm asking a lot of you and maybe it's not fair
07:01I realize I probably shouldn't be dragging you into my own personal drama like this
07:05It's just...
07:08You answer all my questions just like my uncle used to
07:11Even if you aren't quite as personable
07:13Well, that's one way to ask for a favor
07:15I see something of him when I look at you
07:18And that makes me think I can trust you somehow
07:22What's the rush?
07:23You've got three whole years of high school to spend looking for an answer, don't you?
07:30I really don't think I'll have anywhere near that much time
07:33Not if I want all of this settled before his funeral
07:36I thought he was missing
07:37Yes
07:39But if someone's been missing for seven years and no one knows if they're alive or dead
07:43It's possible to have them declared legally deceased
07:46I didn't know that
07:50Declaring him dead would put the matter to rest and give my uncle's family some closure
07:54I heard that they also intend to hold a small funeral service
07:58So you see?
08:00That's why I'm in such a hurry
08:02I want to know the truth about our conversation
08:05Before I say goodbye
08:07For the last time
08:09I'm sorry
08:27Come on, Hotaro
08:29It's not like you have anything better to do
08:32This is not really the kind of thing that I want responsibility for
08:38So I want to be totally clear that I'm not agreeing to see this all the way through
08:43But I will keep your story in mind
08:45And if I come across anything that might give you some clues
08:48I'll be sure to tell you about it
08:50And if you find out anything new that you want me to know about
08:53I'm willing to listen to that too
08:55Okay
08:56Okay
08:58If you're good with those parameters then I guess I'll help you out
09:04I'll take whatever help you can give
09:07Thank you, I mean it, thanks so much
09:10Yeah, sure
09:11Sure
09:21Of course, high school isn't all about drama
09:23There's also a good amount of tedium
09:25Take exams for example
09:27It's every student's favorite time of year here at Kamiyama High
09:31Midterms
09:33During the testing period all club activities are suspended
09:36Obviously that includes the classic lit club
09:39But we don't really do anything anyway
09:41So there's honestly not much difference
09:43Keys to the club rooms aren't given out while midterms are underway
09:47So even if we wanted to meet up like usual that wouldn't be an option
09:50Hmm
09:51Hmm
09:53Hmm
09:55Hmm
09:57Hmm
09:59Hmm
10:01Okay, time's up
10:04Hmm
10:06Hmm
10:10Hmm
10:12Hmm
10:14Hmm
10:15Hmm
10:17Hmm
10:18Hey, little bro! Greetings from Istanbul! Or, more accurately, from the Japanese consulate.
10:35I goofed up a bit and haven't quite made it into the city yet.
10:39What trouble did you get into this time?
10:42This has been a lot of fun, and I know I'll look back in ten years and be glad I did it.
10:49I'm dying to know how the club's going. Have any more members yet?
10:53The club is actually the reason I'm writing. I wanted to ask you something. Are you planning to make an anthology?
11:00The Classic Lit Club enters an anthology each year for the Cultural Festival. You are going to keep up the tradition, aren't you?
11:07If so, I'm sure you'll want to look at some examples to know what you're supposed to do.
11:11I'll tell you right now, the old anthologies aren't in the library. You have to look in the club room.
11:17There's an unused chemical locker in there, and the back number anthologies are inside. It shouldn't be locked.
11:24Anyway, once I reach Pristina, I'll give you a call. Take care of yourself, your sister, Tomoe.
11:31A chemical locker, huh? You've got some good timing, sis.
11:36Hey, nice hat!
11:41Shut up!
11:42Really? Are you sure?
11:46Yeah, I'm sure. Here you go. Take a look for yourself if you want.
11:49So that's it, then. We just find the chemical locker.
11:52It isn't in here, though.
11:53Huh? Yeah, you're right. I don't remember seeing one. So what happened to them? Where are they?
12:02It's all right, Chi. Let's just calm down a sec.
12:05Chi, is it? Chitanda, take a look at the letter again. All it said was they're in a chemical locker in the club room. My sister graduated from Kamihai two years ago. They've probably changed the club room since then.
12:17Yeah, you're right. And more than once, maybe.
12:20Okay, now what? How'd we find out where it was two years ago?
12:24I already asked the advisor. It was located in the biology prep room.
12:29Wow. You're unusually well prepared today.
12:32Just trying to be efficient.
12:34Hmph. Admit it. You're pumped.
12:36I don't get pumped. That kind of excitement requires too much energy.
12:41Well, let's go!
12:49Oh, hey, where's Fukube? I haven't seen him.
12:51Handicrafts Club. He said something about getting a head start on the summer fashion scene.
12:57You coming?
13:03Hm?
13:04Huh?
13:14I guess it's locked.
13:19Excuse me? Is anybody in there?
13:25Hm?
13:26Hey, sorry about that. I guess I locked the door.
13:31So what brings you here? Want to join the Wall Newspaper Club?
13:34No, that's not it. Sorry. I didn't realize this was the Wall Newspaper Club room.
13:40Yep, it sure is.
13:43What's that smell? Cologne? No. Air freshener.
13:47So, what can I do for you today?
13:53Well, um, my name's Eru Chitanda, and I'm the president of the Classic Lid Club.
13:58You're in class 3E, right? Togaito, isn't it?
14:02I'm sorry, have we met before?
14:04I saw you at the Maninbashi home last year. I kind of have a knack for remembering names.
14:08The Maninbashi home, was it?
14:11Hold on. You wouldn't happen to be one of the Kandachitandas, would you?
14:14Yes! Thank you for all you do for my father.
14:18So, president of the Classic Lid Club. That's cool. And you're a Chitanda.
14:23What is this guy babbling about?
14:25Anyway, what do you need?
14:27Right! We're looking for the old anthologies the Classic Lid Club put together,
14:31and we're pretty sure they're in the biology prep room.
14:34This used to be the Classic Lid Club room, didn't it?
14:37Oh, uh, yeah. I think it was, actually, back when I was a first year.
14:41Wait! Are the anthologies in there? Have you seen them?
14:45Uh...
14:47Sorry. No.
14:49Too bad. I guess we'll be on our way, then.
14:52Don't leave! Sorry to bug you, but we're pretty sure they're in there.
14:56Can't we just take a quick look around?
14:58There's no point. I already told you they aren't here.
15:01You're sure?
15:03Oh, well. That's that.
15:04Hey!
15:06Don't you think he's acting kinda weird?
15:08Of course.
15:10And don't just walk away!
15:12Anyway, sorry I couldn't help. Hope you find him somewhere.
15:15You don't understand! The information we've gathered points straight here!
15:18It's the only clue we have! If they aren't here, we're going to have to search the whole school!
15:23The whole school? I can't let that happen.
15:25We need a couple minutes, that's all. Can't you at least give us that much?
15:29Pretty please?
15:30I don't like the idea of letting non-club members poke around.
15:33It's not just a club room, it's a classroom. There are non-members in there all the time, you know.
15:38And you are?
15:39Classic lit club member, Ibarra Mayaka.
15:44Alright, I give.
15:46Go ahead and take a look, then. Don't make too much of a mess, okay?
15:49Where are the other members?
16:02Oh, they're taking the day off. I'm just brainstorming ideas for the June issue.
16:08Our club's been writing the Kamihai monthly newsletter for a long time. We're about to hit our 500th issue.
16:12I'm not seeing what we're looking for. Sorry, I guess you were right.
16:19So, what now? Aureki?
16:29Togaito, when this became your club room, did you move anything out to make space for your stuff?
16:38Now that you mention it, we did take some cardboard boxes out.
16:41Some cardboard boxes, huh?
16:43Yeah.
16:44We have an opening.
16:49This situation has to be handled delicately.
16:52But with just the right amount of pressure.
16:55You know, I didn't realize how much stuff there was in here.
16:59It's gonna take forever to sort through it all.
17:02We could really use a few reinforcements.
17:04I think I'll go and ask the club advisor to help us out.
17:07You're cool with that, right?
17:08No, I'm not. Like I told you, I don't want you making a mess of this place.
17:13Sorry we're inconveniencing you, but this is really important!
17:17We'll put everything back right where we found it, I promise. You won't have to-
17:20I said no, okay?!
17:23What?
17:25Don't you get it? I'm busy!
17:27I don't want a bunch of underclassmen ransacking my club room, is that so hard to understand?!
17:32Just get out of here!
17:33Get out of here!
17:38Gotcha.
17:39Just so you know, we're pretty sure what we're looking for is inside some kind of chemical locker.
17:45A locker?!
17:46Yep. Our intel says that's where the anthologies are.
17:49We don't care about anything else that might be in this room.
17:52Do you understand me?
17:54So listen, right now we've got some stuff to take care of in the library.
17:59But if you happen to find the anthologies after we leave, maybe you could leave them in the Earth Science prep room for us?
18:05The door should be unlocked.
18:07I... I didn't... I didn't do anything!
18:11Who said you did?
18:12All right, fine. If I find them, that's what I'll do.
18:23Great. Thanks.
18:25Okay, let's go.
18:29Hey, first year. I don't think I ever did catch your name.
18:35It's Hotoro Oroki.
18:37For what it's worth, I'm sorry about all this.
18:42Okay, I give. Why are we waiting out here like this?
18:46To conserve energy.
18:48What does that mean?
18:49So tell me something. You've obviously heard of the Togaito family. Why are they so prominent?
18:55Well, let's see. I guess they're best known for their involvement in education.
19:00Their family holds a lot of important positions in the educational system.
19:04That explains it.
19:07It's been five minutes.
19:09We should get back now.
19:13Yep. There they are.
19:14There they are.
19:23The anthologies.
19:30Hold on, Oroki. How'd you know they'd be here? What on earth did you do?
19:34Oh, just a little intimidation, that's all.
19:37What's that mean?
19:39Well, I don't know. Can you keep a secret?
19:43Of course. If you tell me not to say anything, I won't.
19:46Okay.
19:48So let's start at the beginning.
19:50When Togaito came to meet us, he stepped out and closed the door behind him instead of letting us in.
19:55Yeah, that was weird.
19:56Then there's the room itself. The window was wide open and the fan was running. If you recall, it was pointed toward the window, blowing around the papers that were on the table.
20:06It's like he wanted to air out the room or something.
20:09Exactly. But why'd he care so much about ventilating the room like that? More importantly, why would he lock himself in and place infrared sensors out in the hall?
20:16Wait, slow down a sec. Infrared sensors? What in the world are you talking about?
20:22What? You didn't notice the small strange boxes on either side of the hallway?
20:27Then there was that device with the antenna on it that was obviously the receiver.
20:31He must have set it up so that anyone who passed by the sensors would trigger an alarm.
20:36And since when are you so tech savvy?
20:39I'm not really. I just infer stuff from what I observe, that's all.
20:42The question is, why would he need an alarm that would tell him when someone was coming so he could start airing out the room? Why take such precautions?
20:50To get rid of a smell?
20:53Seems like a reasonable guess.
20:55And let's not forget the fact that the place reeked of air freshener.
20:58Now, what smell could he be trying to get rid of that would make him go to such desperate measures?
21:03Cigarette smoke.
21:04Knowing that the Togaito family is prominent in academic circles, can you imagine the kind of trouble he would be in if he was caught doing something illegal? He couldn't risk it.
21:13It all makes sense now.
21:15Of course. If Chitanda didn't have a cold, she would have noticed the smell immediately and things would have been a lot easier.
21:21That's not all though. Where did the anthologies end up being, huh?
21:25Inside the locker, obviously.
21:26What locker?
21:27Hey, I'm not messing with you. Who's there, okay? The chemical locker had to be hidden under that makeshift table.
21:37My guess is that Togaito kept his cigarettes and lighter in there, too.
21:41So when I suggested we come back and search the room with an advisor, he panicked and flipped out on us.
21:47Hmm?
21:52You really are weird.
21:55Not at all. I'm probably the most ordinary guy at this school.
21:59You guys!
22:01Look, I'm a sunflower!
22:04About time. While you were out doing arts and crafts, we were working.
22:08What? Oh, the anthologies!
22:12Huh. So this is what they look like.
22:14Check out the ones from 40 years ago!
22:17They really have- What is it? Something wrong?
22:18You know?
22:19That's because they were printed on a ditto machine.
22:22More precisely, it's called mimeograph printing.
22:24It's what they had back in the-
22:25What's the matter?
22:26Copy machines didn't become commonplace until a lot later, so they wouldn't-
22:29Well, it's just-
22:30Hmm?
22:31Now these-
22:32Come here.
22:34What issue is that?
22:35It's this.
22:37Hyoka.
22:39Issue 2.
22:41I saw it back when I was little.
22:42That's what started all this.
22:45I remember taking this volume to my uncle, and asking him about what was inside.
22:50What was special about it?
22:55Here, take a look at it for yourself.
22:57Something happened 45 years ago.
23:00I'm not sure what, but it involved my uncle and the Classic Lit Club.
23:03Once again, the time for the cultural festival is upon us. It has been a year now since Sekitani left, and in that year, he has gone from being a hero to being a legend.
23:18The struggles that were endured, the sacrifices that were made, even his smile, all are fading now. And, perhaps it is for the best. Perhaps they should be forgotten. After all, it was in no way a heroic tale.
23:35Details blur, facts fade away. The passage of time polishes the story's rough edges. Bit by bit, the truth will be eroded, until the tale is just another dusty classic. October 13th, 1968. Yoko Koriyama.
23:54You see, whatever event they're referencing happened 45 years ago. There's no way it's just a coincidence. The Sekitani they talk about was my uncle.
24:04This mentions struggles and sacrifices, like something big happened. It must be what my uncle told me about.
24:10Well, then the mystery's just about solved, right?
24:13I still don't know all of it though. I'm so close. Why can't I remember?
24:18What did my uncle say to me that day that upset me so much? What exactly happened to him at the school all those years ago?
24:27Just look into it some more.
24:36But, it says there it might be best if it were forgotten. Who knows? Maybe something bad will happen if I keep digging.
24:44There are some truths that are better left undiscovered. Isn't that what people say?
24:49So you're just gonna give up then? Is that what you wanna do?
24:55You think I'm wrong?
24:57Yeah, kinda. I mean, look at what it says at the end here.
25:01Bit by bit, the truth will be eroded, until the tale is just another dusty classic.
25:08How long till the truth's lost forever?
25:14Right.
25:15Besides, looking into it shouldn't be too difficult. This is Issue 2, and it talks about stuff that happened the year before, right?
25:21So you just find Issue 1, and there you have it.
25:23Bad news, you guys!
25:24Huh?
25:25We're still missing the first Issue!
25:27But...
25:30Ehh...
25:34Dismicor now...
25:38Dismicor now...
25:40Dismicor now...
25:43Dismicor now...
25:44I'll see you next time.
26:14I'll see you next time.
26:44I'll see you next time.
