00:00Trust me on this. Brainy people who offer up their opinions are the true enemies of peace.
00:07That's why I tried my very best to get the Mori family to leave the island, but they simply refuse to comply.
00:13That father of theirs is to blame. He's a tiny little guy who seems happy-go-lucky, but he's actually surprisingly sharp.
00:19I agree. We've been carefully framing the Mori son as someone who's persistently making fake suicide attempts.
00:25But the Kirihara father may have grown suspicious that it's a ruse.
00:28That family's deep roots will be hard to pull, but we have various methods at our disposal.
00:33Just like always, we can count on the other islanders to believe anything we tell them.
00:39What did you find out? Spill the beans.
00:45Long story short...
00:46The island's royal family was built on maintaining its power by any means necessary.
00:55They make the islanders dependent on them and rob them of their individuality.
00:59That whole family excels at getting in someone's head and controlling them.
01:03They publicly hold a supernatural ritual that instills a sense of unity.
01:07Then they sprinkle on an us-versus-them story to really get the unity juices flowing.
01:12It's hella genius.
01:14They drive anyone they deem useless or impudent to desperation.
01:18Then vote them off the island.
01:19They couldn't care less if those people die.
01:22Watch her back around the boss lady, the walking Oedipus complex, and that feisty red flag on legs.
01:27How did I not know this place was so sus?
01:30That whole family is a bunch of wackos.
01:32It's crystal clear they don't value the lives of others.
01:35And Yai's old friend is one of their victims.
01:40I'd bet good money this place has churned out a crap ton of victims over the years.
01:44Making the merfolk bigger and bigger.
01:46A massive tower of suffering.
01:48I thought there were surprisingly few spirits around here.
01:51And the few we saw were shamelessly staring at us when we arrived at the harbor.
01:55Most spirits here probably get swallowed up by the merfolk.
01:58You follow?
01:59Yai's home island has always attracted lots of spirits.
02:02And those who wind up here are formed into a single blob.
02:06The old giant glob of ghosts is a staple in ghost stories.
02:10Those things have a knack for attracting spirits filled with strong negative emotions.
02:14It's a big ball of regret that's desperate for companionship.
02:17So it absorbs every spirit it comes across.
02:20And when that doesn't fill the void, it eventually starts going after the living as well.
02:25Anyone in a weak state is susceptible.
02:27That's what leads to the emergence of haunted places where lots of accidents happen.
02:33And other creepy spots that have a death toll.
02:36We may know what's going on, but there's an important question to answer.
02:40What did the royal family do to drive Mori to the point of desperation?
02:44Wo-oh!
02:46Wo-oh!
02:47ๆฐใพใใใซ guarding o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.ํ
!
02:49It's hard to hear, but it's hard to hear, but it's hard to hear.
04:49I'm nosy and I want to feel good about myself, but the cold hard truth of it is, too many people out there die alone without anybody even noticing, and people feel bad because they didn't.
04:59I've got to check on Mori!
05:03Yaiko! You should take someone with you. Take Magi if you want, but if you don't mind, I'd like to go, too.
05:10It'd be better to take someone who doesn't know how the island works, and you'll need some backup.
05:16I'm sticking to my original plan of investigating the merfolk legend.
05:24This may not be a major revelation, but people don't tend to open up to a face like this.
05:30But we'll just be a phone call away!
05:32What's your grasp on the situation?
05:34I don't put stuff with yucky.
05:37Well, you know that's probably good enough.
05:39There he is! Hey, Mori!
05:51Please, don't run away!
05:53So, what's up?
06:08Uh, you know, I don't really have a great segue into all this, but I thought sitting you down would be a decent start.
06:14So, can we talk?
06:16At this point, it'd be pretty scary if we didn't.
06:18I'm just gonna ask you this point blank.
06:21Did Yui do something weird to you?
06:24Oh, uh, what makes you think that?
06:27Call it, woman's intuition?
06:30These guys aren't too familiar with how the island works.
06:33And after talking about it with them, I know this place is weird.
06:38They've got a fresh perspective, and I think it might help.
06:41So, if you do want to chat, we're all ears.
06:44My family moved here about six years ago.
06:51Every morning, the other kids from the island took the boat.
06:55They were all extremely charming and friendly.
06:57Because they were fascinated by you.
06:59They said the new boy looked like a TV character.
07:02You'd look so awesome in this cosplay.
07:04Totally!
07:06Honestly, I was really enjoying it here.
07:08Then, the princess of the island asked me out.
07:11She wasn't my type, so I politely declined.
07:16Soon after that, something happened with my dad at the factory.
07:20That Mori guy is so cute and such a gentleman!
07:25I don't know, I'd have trouble believing a guy that handsome wouldn't always be cheating on me.
07:30I saw a video on the characteristics of serial cheaters lately, and Mori ticked off every box.
07:36Huh?
07:37He's always totally surrounded by girls.
07:39There's no way he's not fooling around with them!
07:42He may be beautiful on the outside, but what's inside a person doesn't always match up.
07:47No, I don't have any proof.
07:49I'm just seeing a bunch of red flags is all.
07:51And if you ask me, Mori's getting awfully close with Hayashi.
07:55Maybe too close.
07:56Huh?
07:57They're both gorgeous, so you couldn't really blame them for hooking up, and I'm kinda hoping they are.
08:03I mean, talk about a power couple.
08:05Yeah?
08:05Truth is, he actually tried to put the moves on me not too long ago.
08:09Of course, I had to turn him down.
08:11But since he's always been so polite, I was surprised how forward he was.
08:15I can't shake the feeling that Mori's entire persona is just an act to help him scoop up all the otaku girls.
08:21They're obsessed with him because he looks like some kind of character.
08:24And he plays it up, huh?
08:25Yeah, the guy certainly isn't shying away from the comparisons.
08:29He's using it to try and get all the girls, for real.
08:37Don't talk to us again.
08:39Stay away from Yui, you're here.
08:40Start flirting with the boys instead.
08:42What?
08:43You're not into that?
08:44I didn't know you were homophobic.
08:46Eventually, all the rumors that were being spread about me became the truth.
08:52At least as far as the other students were concerned.
08:54And of course, the more I denied them, the more everybody believed them.
08:58I knew she was the one who started everything.
09:07But no one remembers where rumors come from on this island.
09:10I mean, I wasn't even dating anyone, so there's no way I was cheating.
09:16And I don't have a problem with anybody's preference or whatever.
09:19It was just a smear campaign.
09:21Still, I was forced to hear all these terrible things about myself that weren't true.
09:25Maybe I should have just gone along with it and been the bad guy they wanted me to be.
09:30I felt like I was going crazy.
09:33All these baseless allegations turned everyone against me.
09:36I was apostatized.
09:38And I was desperate.
09:39Which is exactly what she wanted.
09:42I don't think I've told you.
09:44I'll be going to school in Tokyo.
09:45Please keep suggesting VTubers for me to check out.
09:48Tokyo Game Show looks cool.
09:51Really?
09:51That's amazing.
09:52My friend who was into the same stuff, always down to talk games, and never bought into the lies about me?
10:01Please don't leave.
10:03Everyone else's version of reality will take over.
10:06I don't even know who I am anymore.
10:11Not that anyone should feel bad for me.
10:14I'm weak.
10:15I'm a loser.
10:16No one believes anything I say anyway.
10:19Everyone goes through something, it'll pass.
10:22At least you've got your looks.
10:23People are just jealous.
10:24Laugh it off!
10:25It's all in your head.
10:27Best thing you can do is live your life and be happy.
10:29I don't understand outsiders at all.
10:32Young people are so sensitive.
10:33You're just taking things the wrong way.
10:35I want to die.
10:37I know I shouldn't think that, but...
10:39You mean people here are so controlling you're not even allowed to have those kinds of thoughts on this island?
10:44Well, I'd be in big trouble, because I want to die practically every single day!
10:52It's a major problem.
10:54People will say whatever they want without realizing how hurtful it can be.
10:58I can't even count how many times I've talked without thinking.
11:01The thing of it is, sometimes people think they want to die because they want to live.
11:05This world is really opaque-a-pay, kid.
11:08You're just doing your best.
11:12I'm sorry.
11:13I was totally clueless.
11:14Yeah, I figured as much.
11:16Me too!
11:17It's just like they were saying!
11:19I didn't know you were so popular, Mori.
11:22Yeah, well, it's nice to get a little attention since I'm still the new kid in town.
11:26I didn't see the part I played in it.
11:30I come from a family of old-timers, so I guess I had blinders on.
11:36I'm sorry for what you went through.
11:45But I've got to ask, who is this guy?
11:48He's a friend.
11:50Nice to meet you!
11:51Let me see.
11:55You want more on the merfolk legend?
11:57I'm not sure we have anything on that subject.
12:00We tossed all the stuff that belonged to our ancestors in here,
12:03so I don't quite remember what we have exactly.
12:05Hey, Grandpa, do you know anything?
12:08Well, I suppose there's always my father's notebook.
12:11Huh, I kind of forgot we had that in here.
12:15So my grandpa's father would have been born back in the Meiji era?
12:19That's crazy.
12:21The good news is that my old man always wrote every little thing down.
12:26Did I mention he was an accomplished writer just like our Yaiko?
12:30Plus an avid book collector.
12:31Holy smokes!
12:33A first edition of the Restaurant of Many Orders?
12:35And is that a wartime newspaper?
12:37With an article about a German speech?
12:40So many treasures are hidden, often in forgotten storehouses.
12:44Looks like there's some kind of old souvenir picture book as well.
12:48Guess we really did chuck everything in here.
12:51Ah, I got that thing back when I was just a little boy.
12:55You can give it to the professor.
12:56Are you certain?
12:58Sure, it's fine.
13:00A small gift for Yaiko's teacher.
13:03Oh, it's my rucksack from when I was enlisted.
13:07I could give it to Sato as a souvenir.
13:08Not your best gift.
13:13I know you're only teasing the guy because you took a liking to him.
13:15But you've seriously got to stop pestering our visitors.
13:19And I already told you that his name isn't Sato.
13:21His name is Mogura.
13:22We've got Mogura and the cat professor, eh?
13:27Actually, come to think of it, Mogura's backpack looks a lot like your rucksack.
13:31He must be into antiques or something.
13:39Pardon.
13:40Do you mind if I start reading?
13:42Sure, knock yourself out.
13:43Are you okay, Mori?
13:49Don't push yourself too much.
13:51Yeah, this is actually kind of good.
13:53Something about being around people who understand.
13:56It's somehow helping to clear out the fog in my head.
14:00My parents volunteered their time to help with the festival.
14:03I'm thinking I should probably do the same.
14:07Oh, hey, Mori.
14:08Are you feeling all better?
14:11That's such a relief.
14:12Everyone's been worried sick about you.
14:42He got him!
14:53What the?
14:57It looks like the Mori kid.
14:59Somebody stop him!
15:00Just take it easy!
15:01No!
15:02You have so much to live for!
15:05Something's pulling me.
15:07I guess it doesn't matter.
15:10At least someone understands me.
15:12It would be better for everyone if I just disappeared.
15:20Maki!
15:25Oops.
15:26Forgot he's much heavier than me.
15:28Late last night, I was musing about who I'd be in the future.
15:35But it seems like I may not even be around.
15:38Aaaaaah!
15:47Aaaaaah!
15:48Aaaaaah!
15:49Aaaaaah!
15:51In life and now the afterlife, safety is Maggie's number one priority.
15:55No contest.
15:57He has zero interest in winning, becoming accomplished, or chasing thrills.
16:02Currently, the only thing Maggie cares about is having a good host.
16:06Someone who keeps things comfortable.
16:08Huh.
16:09I feel like eating a lot of apples.
16:11That said, as a spirit, Maggie possesses greater abilities than even Nabishima and Ikebukuro.
16:17The ability to affect physical objects is a remarkable talent.
16:21However, it never occurs to a coward that such an ability could be used to attack.
16:27So, his true power lies latent, only activating when his safety is threatened.
16:33Aaaaaah!
16:36Aaaaaah!
16:37Aaaaaah!
16:40A-ah!
16:44Aaaaaah!
16:47Aaaaaah!
16:48Aah!
16:48Did they float?
16:51Yeah.
16:52The wind must have caught him.
16:53Are you guys okay?
16:54Aaaaaah!
17:07All the rescue and emergency crews!
17:10Send down a fishing boat!
17:11Watch out for the reef!
17:12Grab onto something!
17:14There are some crazy powerful rip currents around here!
17:17Right!
17:18The waves should be throwing us around like mad!
17:21I'm only not drowning, because Maggie's using his powers to force the water away from my head!
17:26If we keep riding this current, we can grab hold of merfolk rock!
17:39Yeah!
17:43The merfolk are also confused.
17:45Keep it up, Maggie!
17:47We're out of time, so call Nekosuku.
17:49All of these unexpected plot twists have gotten the merfolk riled up!
17:53It's like a max level fussy toddler who skipped nappy time!
17:57At this rate, that thing could cause some serious damage.
18:00Hey, Mori, you good, bro?
18:08Oh, dang.
18:10That looks gnarly.
18:11How long will it take to get him some medical attention here?
18:14Within the hour, right?
18:16If the kid keeps pleading out like that, Mori's life could be in danger.
18:29Wait, Mogura!
18:30Moggy!
19:00Hold Mori perfectly still!
19:03Now don't move a single millimeter!
19:27He transferred some flame into him by grazing his wound.
19:30I wouldn't think twice if this were an anime, but it's not.
19:37I've been dying to know since we first met.
19:42Mogura, I want to know who the hell you actually are!
19:46Never mind.
19:47He saved Mori.
19:48He's clearly on our side.
19:50Magi!
19:51Don't forget my arrowhead!
19:52If a bird or fish swallows it, it could really hurt them!
19:55That's kind of weird that he's worried about littering at a time like this.
19:59You outsiders ruined our sacred festival!
20:06It's not for you.
20:08It's for the islanders and my family!
20:11What was that arrow, huh?
20:13One of your own islanders fell into the ocean.
20:16Shouldn't you head down there to make sure everyone's safe?
20:18No, sir.
20:19You won't get away with this.
20:21I knew you were suspicious, which is why I've been watching you!
20:24You don't say.
20:26Guess that's what your mama told you to do, eh, sonny?
20:29I am suspicious, because I know everything.
20:31Old man Oedipus, a demented little vixen and a monstrous hag.
20:35I doubt it'll make much of a difference, but I'll go ahead and say it anyway.
20:39You're a sorry excuse for our president!
20:42Who exactly are you?
20:44What was with that arrow?
20:46What's that glowing lamp?
20:47What did you do to help the Mori boy?
20:50And how is it possible the other kid came out of this uninjured?
20:53That's some pretty clear thinking for a glorified puppet.
20:57It's wasted potential.
20:58You're good with words and quick-witted.
21:01Careful with that.
21:02It's a knife for butchering fish, isn't it?
21:04I don't detect many openings.
21:06You practice a martial art, don't you?
21:08You clearly had a decent upbringing.
21:10You're even fairly good-looking, considering how old you are.
21:13You'd be a decent catch if you ever weaned off of mama's milk.
21:16Anyway, no one wants to see a middle-aged man school an old-timer.
21:21Let's not and say we did.
21:23Besides, there's still Boss Hag and Lady Landmine.
21:26I hate to break it to you, but if this were an anime,
21:28you'd have zero stans.
21:30The big bad boss needs to at least be young and handsome, you know?
21:34Don't you dare insult my family!
21:36Some family.
21:39Pulled straight out of that old legend.
21:41With a head resembling an infant.
21:46And the body of a woman.
21:50It lures men into the sea with its voice.
21:53I know your dirty little secret.
21:57Your family is the hideous merfolk!
21:59Unai Music.
22:00Unai Music.
22:00On the way we are.
22:00One day.
22:01I know your children.
22:01One day.
22:01We know their time.
22:01I know your father's story.
22:02It's a good day.
22:03I know your saudade.
22:04My parents still feel free to read it.
22:06How are they?
22:06What about it?
22:06My parents still figure out.
22:07The party's gonna have you.
22:08Your parents still feel free to read it.
22:08They're the same thing.
22:08It's not the only way they do.
22:09Our parents still feel free to read it.
22:11You know your parents.
22:12It's been a big game.
22:13And you see them in the name.
