00:00You got any guesses, Goldstar?
00:13I'd been too careless.
00:15Should have paid more attention to potential consequences like winding up on the battlefield.
00:20Chorus had happened shortly after I bought my papers.
00:23Even used my Showa-era funds to become a real citizen.
00:26I must have been too drunk on happiness to think straight.
00:28I was glad I had passed my physical exam for conscription.
00:32Felt nice to be accepted.
00:34Then the reality of shipping out hit me like a falling dictionary, and I realized I had a dilemma on my hands.
00:41I don't understand. Couldn't you refuse to go?
00:44That's not how conscription works.
00:46To start, their little physical exam is mandatory.
00:49Next, draft notices are sent out to the poor saps who pass the exam, meaning they have no excuse.
00:55I was scrawny, but squeaked through.
00:56The flame had me healthy enough for second class.
01:01What? Don't know what that means?
01:03Well, you'll have to look it up later.
01:05Magi here knows what I'm talking about.
01:08In fact, you figured it out the very moment I said 1942.
01:11That was kind of impressive.
01:13By the way, 7.62x39mm is a very famous cartridge.
01:18Yeah, it's a rifle round.
01:20Did you see him in a movie?
01:22A cold dose of Kubrick, eh?
01:24Yesterday, you had an M1911 shirt.
01:26Like the gun?
01:28Seems you're into that kind of thing.
01:30Then you should know all about it.
01:32Uh, kinda.
01:33I play a lot of first-person shooters.
01:35You're a gamer?
01:36It's just a fun hobby.
01:38I don't actually know a whole lot.
01:39I'm sorry if I offended you somehow.
01:42Nah, don't even sweat it.
01:43I'm not trying to give you a hard time here.
01:45Anyway, I'm guessing you've heard of a Type 38 rifle?
01:48I used to wield one, but I don't know much about him.
01:51Americans had whatchamacallits.
01:53Winchesters or something like that?
01:54So yeah, fun fact.
01:56If they hit you, you're not gonna have a good time.
02:01And it ain't no game to point in at someone and pull the trigger either.
02:07Well, I'm done whining over here.
02:09Sorry.
02:10I'll admit they do look cool.
02:11When I first saw one with my own eyes, I was amazed.
02:15And who doesn't like games?
02:16I used to play them at the arcade.
02:18They're a handy means of escapism.
02:20I wish I had games around here sometimes.
02:22Bit hard for me to get good at them, though.
02:25Sadly, the battlefield is a whole different story.
02:28Really, I like movies, same as anyone does.
02:30But it hits different in reality.
02:33The smell, filth, bugs, piss and shit, hunger, itchiness, pain, cruel officers, grime-covered
02:40bodies, maggoty wounds.
02:42When you're told to face right, you face right no matter what.
02:45I still have nightmares about it.
02:47The absolute worst part of it all was that I could see the spirits of the fallen.
02:50An endless sea of both friend and foe.
02:54Not to sound too pathetic, but I was seriously traumatized by all of it.
02:58So, that's why I don't want to pony up for a residency card.
03:01Not that I can afford it.
03:03I'm aware I could get some half-decent work if I did, but even still...
03:07I used up all the flame I'd saved during that ordeal.
03:10Had to restart from square one.
03:12Hey!
03:13You can't say I wasn't honest from the start.
03:15You gotta know all the gritty details.
03:17Now that you can see the little suckers, be sure to let me know if you run into any spirits,
03:21yeah?
03:21Yeah.
03:21Right now, I'm knee-deep in the middle of collecting flames again.
03:27And I could use all the help I can get.
03:29I worked my tail off to collect this much.
03:32It ain't going so well.
03:33Makes it hard to contact you when you don't have a cell phone.
03:36No problem.
03:37Either come here, or you can call this number.
03:40It's the candy shop down the street.
03:42You tell them you have a message for me.
03:43I go all the time to use their internet without having to pay a single yen.
03:47You're a walking nuisance.
03:49Judging by the goofy look on your face is my explanation more than achieved my goal.
03:55I'll level with ya.
03:56Getting you to pity me was part of my scummy ulterior motive all along.
04:00But more importantly, having someone to confide in is far more essential than you could ever imagine.
04:08It's been ages since I talked about that stuff, but you guys made it easy.
04:12And you're polite, too.
04:13Can't believe you didn't even pry about what I'm being punished for.
04:17Means a lot.
04:17You should know I won't be mad if I never hear from you again.
04:21I'm gonna go eat that liver.
04:22Thanks.
04:23How much of that do you think was true?
04:26Maybe the guy's part of a wacky religion and he's some kind of fanatic?
04:30I'm not so sure.
04:32I finally remembered something.
04:34My family's from the country, and we have these pictures of my great-grandfather in an old storeroom there.
04:39That's where I saw him.
04:40When I first saw Mogura, I thought they looked similar.
04:44You don't see black-and-white photos often, so it left an impression.
04:48My great-grandpa was infamous for his tall tales, like how he swam back home across the sea, or even how he used to drink jet fuel when he ran out of liquor.
04:56I know I shouldn't laugh, but that's crazy.
04:58One of his stories was about a time he was badly injured but then somehow recovered overnight.
05:04That miracle happened right around the time that photo was taken.
05:09I take his stories with a grain of salt, but if that one's true, I would never have been born if not for Mogura.
05:15When he said he could see spirits on the battlefield, I've got to admit I assumed he was collecting more flame than he was using,
05:23even if being in the army meant he had to be more cautious.
05:26But I suppose it's possible that Mogura actually used up more flame helping others than he did helping himself survive.
05:34I was afraid to ask about his punishment, but he doesn't seem like a bad person.
05:40Is thinking about it that way naive of me?
05:42Well, it is possible.
05:45In this day and age, we'd be considered stupid for trying to help someone so suspicious.
05:51But it's the right thing to do.
05:57ENOUGH!
05:59I've never witnessed anything that sickly sweet in my entire existence!
06:02How dare you flirt right in front of my house just watching it makes me angry!
06:06Haven't you damn kids ever heard of decency?!
06:08You really came out here to yell at us about being too sweet?!
06:11Keep my warning!
06:12Guys who don't experience sweet loving in their youth will never know that joy!
06:16Are you sure you were ever anything resembling young?
06:19My love life has been a series of overly attached psychos who can't get enough once they've had a taste!
06:24Ah, slow your roll, man!
06:25No one wants to hear your grimdark dating stories!
06:28Damn it all!
06:29I wish a kind and tastefully pervy gal who likes to talk but not too much would fall right into my lap!
06:34I'm practically drowning in jealousy!
06:36What exactly do you mean by tastefully pervy?!
06:39So if you know anyone who fits the bill, hook me up!
06:41Damn it, call me about that too!
06:43On second thought, let's keep our distance!
06:48You do realize you've jinxed us by saying that?
06:56I wonder if that was the candy shop he mentioned?
06:59Yai's great-grandfather?
07:01Was it really that long ago?
07:05Throw this away for me!
07:07It would be my pleasure, sir!
07:09Treated like a damn leper for working at a hundred yen shop!
07:12What's the matter, boss?
07:14That guy's a shoplifter!
07:16He bought one thing and stole five others!
07:18Let's get him!
07:22Now, Maggie!
07:23Don't hold back!
07:24Blind the guy!
07:25Sounds extreme!
07:26Slow down, sir!
07:27You still have a few items we need you to pay for!
07:29Come to think of it, I wonder if spirits ever shoplift!
07:32Hey!
07:33Chasing down a thief?
07:34Huh?
07:35I've got you covered!
07:36Oh, yeah!
07:37Ha ha ha ha ha!
07:38Ah!
07:43Whoops!
07:44Told ya, I don't have a license.
07:46Gotta avoid any qualifications that require identification, you understand?
07:50But trains are expensive.
07:51So instead, I taught myself to ride a bike up to 70 kilometers an hour!
07:55An accomplished idiot.
07:57How is he so careless given his situation?
08:00You should be a Kadeen racer.
08:02Oh, guess that requires state credentials.
08:04So, anyway, how's it been going?
08:07Have you seen anything unusual?
08:09What do you mean by that?
08:10I don't know.
08:11Your first photo of a spirit or something similar?
08:14No worries if it hasn't happened yet.
08:16Does that mean I'm likely to experience things like that moving forward, or what?
08:20Maggie!
08:20Did you catch him?
08:22I don't need the fuzz after me, so try and make something up!
08:25And if you have any expired food, I'll take it off your hands!
08:28See ya!
08:28Huh.
08:29Maybe he's weirdly fast because of his living conditions.
08:32He could at least oil his bike, though.
08:35Who was that?
08:36Um, a bystander?
08:38I see.
08:39Now let's give this guy a beating before the cops show up!
08:42That's kinda messed up.
08:43Well, so is an inventory loss directly affecting my sweet yearly bonus!
08:47I don't give a crap about a shoplicker's human rights!
08:50If you want security cameras, you have to pay for them yourself!
08:52Screw you, headquarters!
08:54And screw you, Kanida from General Affairs!
08:56Then we should complain to HR, right?
08:58I'm sure Kanida's under pressure, too, you know?
09:01I'm gonna involve the cops in as many incidents as possible!
09:04Then I'll crush headquarters like a bug in court!
09:06That's easily the best idea I got going!
09:09Or maybe I go for Broke and kill a shoplifter!
09:11Even if you get caught, you can return to society after a few years!
09:14Let's murder him, Maggie!
09:16Maybe our judicial system is outdated.
09:20Boss Sukekyo, you should get some rest.
09:24No, Maggie!
09:25Full-time employees don't ever get to rest!
09:28What a silly proposition!
09:29Hold on.
09:30Did you say, Boss Sukekyo?
09:33Fess up.
09:33What is that?
09:34A secret employee nickname for me?
09:36Oh, um, sorry?
09:38But, you know, I meant it affectionately.
09:40Yet somehow, Boss Sukekyo sounds like the least likable character ever.
09:46There we go.
09:48The next shoplifter I see gets a one-way ticket to the bottom of a river!
09:52With him and Fujimura, the living might be scarier than spirits.
09:57And that's what happened.
09:58But when I saw Mogura, I realized maybe my job wasn't the worst.
10:02I feel bad for Sukekyo.
10:04The cafe where I work is very peaceful.
10:07I've been there for three years.
10:09Whoa, that's a long time.
10:11It's such a lovely environment.
10:12And we recently got a new employee.
10:14A teenager.
10:15Only 15.
10:16Huh.
10:17High school freshman?
10:18Good for them.
10:19I'm Shio Inukai, and I really love eating.
10:22Never mind.
10:23I'm worried about your onboarding process.
10:25But the staff knows that this way starts to die for work.
10:28Great.
10:28Ask Kirihara if you have any questions.
10:30I'm Yaiko Kirihara.
10:32I'm a college student.
10:33Call me Yaiko.
10:34And I'm called Shio Inukai.
10:36Food-loving high school freshman.
10:38Huh.
10:39Unless you're more specific, folks will think you like every kind of food on earth.
10:43Wait.
10:43You're saying it's possible for food not to taste good?
10:45Ugh.
10:46Forget it.
10:47Is it okay if I ask what year of college you're in?
10:49Third year.
10:50I know I don't look like it, do I?
10:53Here.
10:53Your new uniform.
10:54It's for front of house staff.
10:56I work here in the kitchen.
10:57Cool.
10:58This is my very first job, so I'm pretty nervous.
11:01Huh?
11:02It was like gazing upon the Swiss Alps with my own two eyes.
11:07And she's not even 20 years old yet.
11:11We went from questionable onboarding to a punchline I can't comment on.
11:15You don't have anything to say about my recent mountaineering adventure seminar leader, Magi?
11:22Give me your thoughts in one page or less.
11:25Ugh.
11:26Come on, Magi.
11:27It's totally fine.
11:28You can tell me what you really think.
11:30All of our customers were staring at her nonstop, too.
11:33What's so great about the Alps anyway?
11:35Aren't the Kazu Planes equally charming in their own way?
11:39Right?
11:41Right?
11:41Guess Yae is even more spineless than I am sometimes.
11:45Magi!
11:46Having someone to confide in is far more essential than you could ever imagine.
11:51At the end of the day, I'm starting to realize I have it pretty good right now.
11:57It's you!
11:58Oh yeah, we threw a welcome party.
12:00I don't know what that's like because no one's ever thrown me one.
12:03Check it out.
12:05She just sent me a picture from the party.
12:07Huh?
12:13This place really exists?
12:16Honestly, if it weren't for this street, I could have comfortably brushed this off as a drunken delusion.
12:22I'm gonna go ahead and blame him for everything scary and make him fix it.
12:25Is that supposed to be a song?
12:34It sounds like he's humming Get Wild!
12:37But he doesn't know any of the lyrics at all!
12:40Why is he butchering it so loudly?
12:42I already regret this.
12:43He's even scarier than Spirits and the Living combined!
12:47Why should I stop?
12:48I like crooning.
12:49Music's good for you.
12:51Learn a song and you can enjoy it even after you're dead.
12:53That's why music festivals are loaded with spirits.
12:57It's a real treasured part of our culture, don't you know?
12:59You had to go and do it, didn't you?
13:01Festivals are officially ruined for me.
13:03If I hear a song I even remotely like at a music cafe,
13:06I ask him to play it again and again until I've learned it.
13:09So you're a pain in the ass?
13:13Then I use the internet at the candy shop to track down the ol' audio file.
13:17I feel like I'm getting a masterclass on mooching from the world's authority.
13:21Then I find a way to record it on a cassette tape.
13:24Cassette!
13:24I don't have a choice in the matter.
13:27Not like I can get a phone contract.
13:29And both CDs and LPs are too rich for my blood.
13:32You can listen to tapes without Wi-Fi, which makes it an amazing technology!
13:36I tell you, cassettes are the height of luxury!
13:38Back in the Edo period, you had to go to a live event to even hear music!
13:42How impossibly old are you anyway?!
13:44I'm not doing this!
13:45What are you talking about?!
13:47We didn't come here to chat music, you know!
13:49Whoa.
13:49Where's this coming from?
13:51You blabber way too much about weird and pointless crap!
13:53You think so, huh?
13:55As you get older, you spend more and more time on idle chatter.
13:58Get on with it.
14:00If you're not here for company, you saw a ghost.
14:02Or you came for my sage advice.
14:05Or maybe you spotted a rogue spirit in a photograph and it freaked you out.
14:10Hmm.
14:11Tech-fueled paranormal activity.
14:12It's common these days.
14:14Glitching TVs, camera mishaps, weird voices on the phone.
14:18The usual.
14:19That's enough a cold crap.
14:21I still don't understand the logic, but if you're the reason we can see them, you have
14:25to do something.
14:27Well, if it's any consolation, I reckon I can at least make it less scary for you.
14:32This right here is what I see when I look at that spirit photo of yours.
14:37Is this what you guys see?
14:40Don't forget, spirits are just humans who kick the bucket.
14:43Being creepy doesn't automatically mean they're hostile.
14:45What the?
14:47They look like they're having fun!
14:48Well, yeah.
14:49That's what humans do.
14:51They're hazy.
14:52At least it looks that way to me.
14:54I just see those haunting eyes in lots of black shapes.
14:57Hmm.
14:57How they look changes with who's looking.
14:59I've requested less occult and got more.
15:03You're still complaining about that?
15:05It's come to this.
15:07I'll have to open your eyes to a perspective that even an occult-hating gent like you can't
15:11deny.
15:11Imagine for a shining moment that you'll become a spirit.
15:14You can stare at any girl's ass all the live long day.
15:17Dirty old man.
15:19Nah.
15:20You know I'm not wrong.
15:21It doesn't matter that you're an ass man, okay?
15:24It's a fairly big crowd, though.
15:26A bit unusual.
15:27Are they there for the store?
15:30Or is it something to do with the girl?
15:32Did you happen to notice anything weird while you were working together?
15:35Nope.
15:36Not a thing.
15:37Not surprised.
15:38You have to look to see.
15:39Are there rules that let you change their appearance?
15:42Because I like them to be less scary.
15:44It's not that there aren't.
15:46It's more about your condition and the spirits.
15:48You'll get used to it.
15:50It'll be a real aha moment.
15:52Wuh-
15:52Not having clearly defined rules makes me sick.
15:56You think some fancy rules can help you make sense of another person, do ya?
15:59That's sheer arrogance.
16:01Ugh.
16:02Sorry.
16:03Thing is, I won't know for sure unless I see him.
16:06Is it possible to get me inside this place?
16:08You could just come in like a normal customer.
16:13Your treat, by the way!
16:15He systematically ordered the most expensive items on the menu!
16:18You're a fried oyster, sir.
16:20Extra butter.
16:20Thanks a million.
16:22So that's her.
16:23I don't see anything unusual.
16:25Look closer.
16:26Oh.
16:27Oh.
16:30What are those?
16:32Hopeless.
16:33I'll try drawing them again.
16:35It's the chick.
16:36Looks like she's easily possessed.
16:38They're ghostly degenerates?
16:40It's not the cafe.
16:41They're here for her.
16:42Big win.
16:43No, it isn't!
16:44Poor girl.
16:45You can't swing this positively!
16:46If it had been the cafe, we would have had to confront the spirits right here.
16:50Does that sound like a smart idea to you?
16:52I can't afford to be arrested.
16:55Well, I possibly could have played it off as a contemporary dance.
16:58Possibly.
17:00You see all the customers staring at her?
17:03I mean, yeah.
17:04She's cheerful and charming.
17:06That's not it.
17:07People unconsciously look in the direction of a presence.
17:10They're powerless with all those spirits crowding her.
17:14All of our customers were staring at her non-stop, too.
17:19Last call, gentlemen.
17:20Right.
17:21Can I get the seasonal fruit souffle?
17:23Er, souffle?
17:24The one that seems like a pancake.
17:26But expensive.
17:27Mar, you're running up the bill.
17:29If you think I'm paying for your gluttony, you've got another thing coming.
17:34Thanks for waiting for us.
17:36Are these the people that you wanted to introduce me to?
17:38Yep.
17:39Nice to meet ya!
17:40I'm Shio Inugai!
17:41Looks like someone's energetic.
17:43Now, which one of you guys is Yai's boyfriend?
17:46Uh, neither.
17:47So, miss.
17:48Would it be alright if I asked you some completely normal questions?
17:51Okay!
17:52First up, do you ever hear weird sounds even though there's nothing there?
17:55Only all the time.
17:57In fact, I always have.
17:58Do you have an insatiable appetite?
18:00You have no idea!
18:02I'm a 10 servings of noodles girl ever since forever!
18:05Yeah, that settles it.
18:06Seems she's always been prone to possession.
18:09Got any bright ideas for breaking the news to her?
18:11Crazy how quick she's accepted this reality.
18:14Wait, what?
18:15Did you say...
18:16Possession?
18:17Ah!
18:18Are you the real, real ghostbusters?
18:20Oh, man!
18:21Do you know how to use the Force, too?
18:23Uh, well, that's fine.
18:25She can learn all my secrets or whatever.
18:28I don't see any ghosties.
18:30Are you there?
18:30Be gone, evil spirits!
18:33She's so adaptable.
18:35Fair sex tends to have an easier time accepting this sort of thing.
18:39Guys tend to demand an explanation, stubbornly deny it, or instantly become hardcore paranormal enthusiasts.
18:44Hey, you, Missy, you want to stop being possessed?
18:48Obviously!
18:49But I'm not sure what to do!
18:50Let's try asking the spirits to leave nicely first, don't you think?
18:55Listen up, hellbound lechers!
18:57Stop chasing this girl's ass around!
18:59Get out!
19:00Bro, what's your problem?
19:02We're just looking!
19:03I thought you said you were going to ask them nicely!
19:06Yeah, since this was important to you, I wanted to lead with politeness.
19:10But most spirits are brazen since they know people can't see them.
19:13In the end, you always wind up having to drive them off more like that.
19:17What about all that ethical crap you spewed about spirits just being dead humans?
19:21You've heard it.
19:22Don't date, focus on your studies.
19:25You guys nod and agree, but it doesn't ever stop you from dating now, does it?
19:29Ah, to be young.
19:30It's basically the same kind of thing.
19:32You're so infuriating!
19:34You gotta pay lip service, you know?
19:36Will you look at that?
19:37It's rare that I can collect this much in one fell swoop!
19:40I still remember what you said about looking at girls' bottoms.
19:43We're just getting started.
19:45We've only dealt with the spirits who will leave when you tell them to.
19:49The real fight begins now.
19:54No eye contact, and try not to give away that you're afraid.
19:57This one's completely self-interested.
19:59He hasn't even noticed something happen to the other ghosts.
20:03But this'll turn into a royal pain if he realizes we've noticed him.
20:06Huh?
20:07I was hoping she wasn't possessed by one of those.
20:10But there he is.
20:12Good grief.
20:13We could leave him alone since Shio doesn't seem to be bothered by him.
20:17But sometimes spirits like him switch to stalking nice girls like Yai.
20:20So he's an evil spirit?
20:27Nah, just your standard lonely, needy creep.
20:30It's like I said, spirits are human.
20:33But yeah, he's a stalker.
20:35Now that I've gotten a better look at him, he seems less supernaturally scary and more pathetically creepy.
20:40Do you think politely asking a stalker to leave will work?
20:45No.
20:46Right?
20:47Living humans can go to the police.
20:50Sadly, they're not equipped to handle dead people.
20:52So we're gonna need to find a proper exorcist.
20:55Someone who won't just make him leave, but can actually force him to pass on.
20:59Does that mean you can't exorcise spirits, Mogura?
21:01Afraid not, but I know someone who can.
21:04It's hard to find a real one.
21:06And they're stupid expensive.
21:08But luckily for us, I've got the right connections.
21:11This person's even rougher and grumpier than I am.
21:14So you gotta watch how you...
21:16Hey mister, can you see me?
21:19I heard you talking.
21:21You were saying mean things behind my back, right?
21:24You're roasting me?
21:25In front of the pretty girl?
21:26You must hate me!
21:28You do, don't you?
21:29Oh crap!
21:30The spirit realized we can see him!
21:33Run!
21:35That stalker's about to get real needy!
21:39Hurry up and defeat the spirit that's possessing me!
21:43Your simple-minded idiots are always asking me to defeat spirits for you.
21:48Why don't you equip a ghost-slaying holy sword?
21:52Join a ghost-hunting squad, come up with cool ability names,
21:55then finally defeat the ghost with your killer combos,
21:57but still die and become a ghost yourself in the process.
22:01After that, I'll exorcise you.
22:03You're a ghost-slaying holy sword.
22:09You're a ghost-slaying holy sword.
22:10Hey, I'm sorry.
22:11You're a ghost-slaying holy sword.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:13Ah, a gi ke ne

23:05I can't let you know
23:06I can't remember
23:06I can't remember
23:07You can't remember
23:09I'm not going to die.
23:11Let's go.
23:12No matter what you want.
23:14I won't stop.
23:18I'm not going to die.
23:21I'm a little bit more than I've seen.
23:24I'm going to die.
23:26I'm going to die.
23:28I'm going to fly.
23:30I'm going to fly.
23:31This city's road.
23:39You
