01:37I'm telling you
01:39it makes no sense
01:41Why would you suggest
01:42muscles as the theme for a group presentation
01:44on children's literature
01:46Why not?
01:47The professor will be raving about this fresh angle
01:49Stark raving mad maybe
01:51It's gonna work out fine
01:54You can say point of putting it together
01:55since you're already heading to seminar
01:57It's not like that was my choice or anything
02:00Things might go your way if you got your head in the game instead of whining
02:06You mean it's my own fault?
02:09Come on, Magi
02:10You know Fujimura never takes no for an answer
02:12You're his girlfriend, aren't you?
02:15Help me out here
02:16Well, let us know when it's done
02:19See ya, Yaiko
02:20Bye
02:21Hey
02:22It's like dealing with the real-life Jion
02:24Yeah, but not much we can do
02:26You wouldn't believe what he posts on social media
02:28He should die a thousand deaths
02:42Hard to beat a boss-level narcissist
02:44I don't want anything to do with those jerks
02:46Also, take a look at what he just posted within the last few minutes
02:49I've never been more confused by anything in my whole college career
02:54Why would a ignorant muscle-brained macho man be a literature major taking a children's literature seminar in the liberal arts department?
03:02Yeah, I was pretty dumbstruck when he first showed up and actually wondered if he was some kind of magical creature or something
03:08He's a rarity
03:10A gym bro who can read Dazai Osamu and stay chipper
03:13How is a being like that even possible?
03:16And it's dangerous to wave around a Koji and like it's a dumbbell
03:19He seems like he's no longer human, but in truth, he's the peak of mankind
03:23Honestly, each of his social posts should say, mine has been a life of much gain
03:27Damn it all
03:28If it makes you feel better, Magi
03:30You have the most eloquent inferiority complex in the whole world
03:33More drinks!
03:34Two huggles!
03:35I drank too much
03:41For real
03:48Billy Eilish, bad guy video
03:55Do you remember that one?
03:57I know I do
03:58Oopsie, I must have drafted
03:59That's too dark
04:01I'll look tomorrow
04:02Jeez, you've got to be more careful
04:04Wait, is that...
04:05Hey mister, are you okay?
04:07Uh, hey, can you two do me a solid?
04:10Go home and pretend this never happened
04:12In this age of total selfishness, no one will fault you for it
04:15Even so, we're not gonna abandon you
04:17Uh-huh, oh, an ambulance!
04:19Oops, I was distracted
04:21Sorry, I'll call right now
04:23That's not necessary
04:24Wait, you're calling an ambulance?
04:26No, stop it!
04:27I forbid you from making that call!
04:29I can't afford surgery or medicine!
04:32Are you kidding me?
04:33I don't even have an insurance card, bro!
04:35I'll be fine
04:36This sort of thing happens all the time
04:37And it looks way worse than it is
04:39Come on, man!
04:40The medical expense would ruin me!
04:41Have you no mercy!
04:43Curse you!
04:44Hey, Yai...
04:46This guy's clearly gone mad from the pain
04:49Yeah, good thing I just called an ambulance
04:51You what?
04:52You're the one who called
04:53So you're the one who's paying!
04:54You jumped headfirst into my mess
04:56So now you're responsible!
04:57Unless that sounds appetizing
04:58Toss me into some alley!
04:59Hide me from the meat wagon and amscray!
05:02Help's on the way!
05:03So you need to save your strength!
05:05You're gonna make it through this, sir!
05:07What do you know?
05:08A decent human
05:09Shit, out of options
05:11You are literally bleeding out from your head, sir!
05:19Mugi, wait!
05:21Don't follow me!
05:22By the way, this blood?
05:23It's just makeup!
05:24It was all a big break!
05:25Like hell, I can actually smell the iron from here!
05:28Damn, he sure runs fast for an injured guy in sandals!
05:32Hey, Yai...
05:33Something's off
05:34None of this adds up
05:35He's probably lost a gallon of blood
05:37But he's running around like everything's normal!
05:39It's really freaky!
05:41And I don't understand how someone in his condition
05:43Could be able to communicate so clearly!
05:45Lost him
05:49What now?
05:50He's super unsettling
05:51But we can't leave him to die
05:53Agreed
05:53It may have been in a state of hysteria from the head trauma
05:56We should call the police!
05:58Yeah, I guess that is an option
05:59So, uh, can you tell me what that number is again?
06:02Dial 110 and try to stay calm
06:05Yeah, stay calm and we can talk it out
06:13But please, don't call the fuzz!
06:28Excuse the mess
06:29Come on in
06:30Never would've guessed
06:38Kids are alright
06:40Selfless, even
06:42Old people, though, they suck
06:44And are all a thousand times more callous
06:46Like the old fart who runs the general store down the street
06:49Your head's bleeding
06:50We're trying to keep you alive
06:52At least be more gentle
06:58Coffee?
07:01Or tea?
07:02Sorry I don't have booze
07:04I never touch the stuff
07:05I definitely don't need alcohol
07:07How old are you two anyway?
07:10Aren't you past curfew or something?
07:12I'm 21
07:13I'm 20
07:14You're both full-fledged adults?
07:17Yeesh, my bad
07:18I thought at most the girl was getting close to graduating from middle school
07:21Um, thanks?
07:23And yet, you wished you had booze to offer us
07:25It's not just her, you're also looking pretty damn young for being 21 years old
07:30He's not only rude, he also can't keep his mouth shut
07:33Do you really think his head's okay?
07:3521?
07:36Hoo boy
07:36Still young
07:37I envy that
07:38Bet you're strong, too
07:40And how old are you?
07:42I'm older than dirt compared to you two
07:43Judging by your outfits, I'm guessing your students?
07:47Aren't your parents worried about you?
07:49Nah
07:49It's fine
07:50I live alone
07:51So do I
07:52I see, you must have had some fun plans in the works for tonight
07:56Oh well, my bad
07:57Man, you guys are way too trusting
08:01Use your head
08:03Like when I asked if your parents would be worried
08:05You could have just said
08:07Nope, it's fine
08:07You should never give a stranger any personal information unless it's absolutely necessary
08:12That goes double for the girly
08:14As her boyfriend, you gotta protect her
08:17She and I aren't dating
08:19Damn, wrong again
08:20It's not considered sexual harassment nowadays
08:22Or is it?
08:23I sure hope not
08:24It gets harder and harder to keep up with the times
08:27He's clearly got his injury under control, Yae
08:30So let's get out of here
08:31Tell me something
08:32Her surname is Magi, right?
08:34But you call her Yae, her given name
08:36That kind of thing intrigues me to no end
08:38Clubmates?
08:39Classmates?
08:40I'm being dead serious
08:41Let's go before he becomes a huge pain in the ass
08:44Leaving?
08:46Oh, almost forgot
08:47Here's your phone
08:48Sorry, I swiped it
08:49That reminds me
08:51I should give you my contact info
08:53Oh, uh, me too
08:55I don't know what your deal is
08:59But you really do need medical attention
09:01What's your number?
09:03Well, I don't have one of those cell phone things
09:05And I also don't have internet
09:07A driver's license
09:08Or a regular phone
09:09Tell me you have a name
09:12It's Mogura
09:13Mogura?
09:14That's what I said, isn't it?
09:16Ah, just forget it
09:17How can you live like this
09:19And make money in this day and age?
09:23Let me think
09:29Didn't your sign say something
09:31About running a bathhouse
09:32And some kind of metalwork?
09:33Good question, college kid
09:39I almost forgot
09:40It'd be pretty lousy of me
09:42Not to thank you properly
09:43After you've been so kind
09:45Here's your gift
09:46Come to see me
09:47If you ever find yourself
09:48In real trouble
09:49Of course
09:50You could always choose
09:51To forget me
09:52You're knee-deep in this thing now
09:54So I'm a little worried
09:55Well, we'll get out of your hair
09:59So listen
10:00I'm a third year
10:01Lib arts major
10:02At Yatsume Yu
10:03If you develop
10:04Any side effects
10:05Don't feel like
10:06You have to suffer alone
10:07You hardly even know me
10:08You're way too virtuous
10:09For your own good
10:10Now be careful
10:12Getting home, you hear?
10:17You won't believe this
10:18But I'll let you in
10:19On something
10:20You see
10:22I was banished
10:23From the afterlife
10:24So I can't die
10:26That's my deal
10:27Basically, if you ever get into
10:29That kind of trouble
10:30You should come and talk to me
10:31You can try telling other people
10:34But no one will believe you
10:36I don't have an ID
10:37A family register
10:38Or a residency card
10:40In other words
10:41On paper
10:42I don't exist
10:43That means the police
10:44Won't ever come knocking
10:45With uncomfortable questions
10:47You genuinely don't have to
10:49Worry about that
10:50I'll wash off the blood
10:52On the street
10:52And cover it with mud
10:53Before dawn
10:54Thanks to the both of you
10:56And one last thing
10:58Opekepe
10:59Opekepe?
11:02The Opekepe Bushi
11:04Seems it's a satirical song
11:06From the Meiji era
11:07What's truly fascinating
11:14Is that there are few such stories
11:16To be found
11:16Within the Asian mythologies
11:18This is most likely
11:19Due to the differences
11:20In our culture
11:21What's with the weird
11:21Black smudge?
11:25We'll discuss this concept
11:26In a bit more detail
11:27Maybe I need stronger lenses?
11:29Class is now dismissed
11:30Magi
11:32You got a sec?
11:34I might have gone overboard
11:35You too?
11:37Yeah
11:37I guess I'm not any better
11:38Huh?
11:39Seriously
11:39Guys got me so stressed
11:41I'm using my part-time stash
11:42This was all I could afford
11:44Right now
11:44Hey
11:45Anything helps
11:46And I'm sure he'd appreciate it
11:48Right?
11:48Sure
11:48Assuming he hasn't dropped dead
11:50Tokyo police are investigating
11:52Both suicide and an accident
11:53Following the gruesome discovery
11:55Of a man's body
11:56In the middle of the street
11:57Last night
11:57That would mean that he died
11:59After we left him
12:00All by himself
12:01I don't want to take on
12:03That kind of trauma
12:03In my twenties
12:04Maybe we should tell Fujimura
12:07Let's not get Musclehead more involved
12:10The guy kept the book
12:11So we can't prove it's his
12:12You and I may know it
12:14But it's not like he's gonna help out anyway
12:16We should head over there
12:18It's past Main Street
12:19In the shopping district
12:20And then further down
12:21Isn't it?
12:25Flowers?
12:26Bad idea
12:27It's not his funeral
12:28Anything else we should pick up?
12:31Not unless you see any blood transfusion packs
12:34Huh?
12:35Thanks for stopping by
12:37You think this works for blood loss too?
12:41Man
12:41Is it weird that we're more worried about him
12:44Than he is about himself?
12:45I know
12:46But I hope that he likes liver
12:48He'd better eat every last bite of it
12:50Or I'm gonna be living off it
12:51For the rest of the month
12:52Come on dude
12:57I know you're around here
12:58Are you sure we didn't make a wrong turn?
13:08Positive this is the right place
13:10I know because I remember this sign from earlier
13:12See?
13:13Different collection days
13:14And the writing here
13:15It's the same one
13:17Yeah
13:17You're right
13:18And check out this manhole
13:20I haven't seen one look like this
13:22In any of the other wards
13:23I'm pretty sure I recognize it
13:25Weird
13:26Why does the street end here?
13:28Wanna know what I think?
13:30This feels like one of those ghost hunter encounters you see online, doesn't it?
13:35Don't even joke about that, Yaiko!
13:37That kind of thing scares the shit out of me, okay?
13:40Wait, did I say something wrong?
13:42Don't cry!
13:43Fun fact, Yaiko
13:44Gun to my head
13:45If I had to choose between getting trapped in a haunted house and a free fall ride
13:48I'm gonna choose the free fall in a heartbeat
13:50And honestly, I'd be puking my guts out either way
13:53Thanks for sharing
13:54Now I know
13:55What kind of meathead bullies a guy into such a humiliating decision?
13:59The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach!
14:01You mean Suji-Mura?
14:03And I never, ever want to see a ghost in my life!
14:06Okay, fine, I get it
14:07Just stop making that face
14:09Listen, from now on
14:10Please say monster or something
14:12I can't stand the S-word
14:13If you're talking about spirits
14:15Don't you think monsters are more violent?
14:17It's okay, it's okay
14:18It's okay
14:18Look at you, two youngsters flirting up a storm
14:21So, what's new in the neighborhood?
14:24You kids here to check out my bathhouse or what?
14:27500 yen apiece
14:28It was 300 before, but price is going up all over
14:33Sorry
14:34What's up?
14:35We going in or what?
14:42Huh?
14:43The look on your faces say I'm not your guy
14:46My mistake then
14:47I, uh, here you go
14:48You looked pretty beat up last night
14:50What?
14:51Wait a sec, you got these for me?
14:54A stranger?
14:54Yeah
14:55Sweet deal
14:56But you didn't have to
14:57Food
14:58I appreciate it
14:59Holy smokes
15:00Liver
15:01Oh yes
15:02All hail this nutritious meal
15:03Oh nice
15:04The liver made him a lot happier than I expected
15:06Is it okay for you to be walking around with your head banged up?
15:10The ol' noggin's feeling fine
15:11Look what I snapped up
15:13See?
15:14Got myself a nice helmet to wear
15:15Second hand, but spick and span
15:17So is anything new with you kids?
15:19You see something?
15:20Or someone?
15:21What do you mean by that?
15:29Guess that answers that now, doesn't it?
15:31Don't you give me that!
15:33Your whole vibe is super sus
15:34And I was going to say something about it sooner
15:36But is that creepy looking dude actually a spirit?
15:39That's plain sad man
15:41Better than scary
15:42But come on!
15:43Where's the hardcore looking big bads
15:45You see in anime and jump manga and stuff like that?
15:48You talk them up and all we get is this guy?
15:51What young'uns these days really fail to understand
15:54Is that life is always stranger than fiction
15:56Watch and learn kiddos
15:58This is your first spiritual encounter!
16:06The name's Mogura Momoyuki
16:08That's Hundred Darknesses and Peachwood Bow if you're curious
16:11Afraid I'm not sure whether it's a blessed name or a cursed one
16:14But I reckon you should know what to call me
16:17And occupation-wise?
16:22I'm a hermit, a rare breed these days
16:24It's a pleasure and my condolences
16:26You said it's Momoyuki?
16:29Back in the day, bows made from peachwood were used to ward off misfortune or vaquish enemies
16:34Evil spirits mostly
16:35Am I wrong?
16:37And the gold star goes to the liberal arts major
16:39Writing Mogura as Hundred Darknesses
16:43In terms of Japanese legend
16:45It's like the opposite of a Matarazu Omikami in a bad way
16:48Just so you know, I don't have any cool powers like exorcism or whatever
17:01I simply borrowed a little bitty fire from him
17:05That fella wasn't an evil spirit or anything
17:07If I had to guess, he was probably gazing fondly at the little lady from afar
17:12Excuse you? That's gross
17:14You're dang right about that one, miss
17:16Look, man, you gotta tell us what's going on
17:20You know, I do admire your resolve, so
17:23What the heck
17:24Reckon you two can visit my abode?
17:27What I'm about to tell you will sound too out there to be true, but it is
17:30In the ending goes something like
17:33If you ever see or run into or even hear rumors about any ghosts, let me know
17:37When you think of ghosts, you probably picture something like this, right?
17:44Well, yeah
17:45And what do you call this?
17:47Is that a ghost light?
17:49Yep
17:49Here's where it gets weird
17:51This stuff is demon fire
17:53Something the dead whip up to help guide them to the afterlife
17:56Those lantern plants you use for decorations on Obon?
17:59Same idea as the lights carried by the dead
18:01Ghost souls contain the same fire
18:03And it allows them to proceed to the next world naturally
18:06It varies from ghost to ghost, and some do veer off course
18:10Think of demon fire as the residue flame leaking out of souls
18:13Last night I told you to, I was banished from the afterlife
18:17Knock it off, will ya?
18:19That wasn't an invitation for you to start staring like I need therapy
18:23Hear me out
18:24The reason why I can talk to you right here and now
18:27Is because the sun stripped me of my right to carry this fire in my soul
18:31So, if I turned into a ghost, I'm pretty much screwed
18:33I'm stranded here, without a way to the afterlife
18:36I use this lantern to store the residual fire left over by ghosts
18:43The plan is to harvest a whole bunch of it so it'll guide me to the other side
18:47Stay with me, you only need to get the gist of it
18:55This tiny little flame you see in here is my soul
18:59You saw me using it a different way last night
19:01Shit, out of options
19:04That's why you didn't want us to call the cops
19:07You were taking a shot from that thing, you junkie!
19:10Not exactly untrue, but I still don't care for the comparison
19:13I'd prefer to think of it as getting a recharge
19:16It's a boost, kinda like an energy drink or e-money
19:20Recharge?
19:21Wait!
19:22Your head!
19:23Is that why it's healed?
19:24And another gold star
19:26Nice work, kid
19:27You lit nerds are as sharp as a knife
19:29That's why I like y'all
19:30Huh?
19:31To take a step further, I can stay kicking for ages
19:34So long as I keep on drinking from my lantern
19:37In other words, I'm kinda immortal
19:39So that hermit stuff wasn't a joke?
19:41Joke?
19:42Kid, I wish it was a joke because I didn't ask for this life at all
19:46Get it?
19:48I've got one foot still in the land of the living
19:51It's a hassle being immortal when you still age
19:53You're still hungry, and you still get sick all the time
19:56I can only stay alive if I regularly fix up my body with this fire
20:00Life's okay until you realize you can't survive without money
20:04And damn near everybody's gotta work for it
20:06Living costs money, and saving money to live off a little more can cost me my health
20:11Sick?
20:13Hurt?
20:13Hospital costs money
20:14Using the flame is free, but I'm left with less each time
20:17I have to keep this thing stocked with fire while keeping up that kind of life
20:22Mooching some off a spirit in the wild is how I survive a little longer
20:26This is what it's like to be tied down
20:30A well-thought-out punishment
20:32Punishment?
20:33Meaning what?
20:36What I said
20:37Clever name, calling it The Drawer
20:41This alley is absolutely my prison
20:44A prison to toss in folks barred from the afterlife, like me
20:49Outside!
20:52We looked, but the alley didn't show up until you showed up too!
20:55It was there
20:56You weren't looking close enough
20:58People only see what they want to see
21:00The things you're looking for only turn up after you've peeped all over
21:05That's just how blind humans are
21:07Overlooking a street or two happens more times than you think
21:11Suppose it's like that with spirits
21:13You notice something you didn't notice before meeting me because you weren't looking for it
21:17Any questions so far, kid?
21:19I don't even know where to begin
21:22None of this sounds real, you know
21:24But the more I think about it, everything just clicks in a weird way
21:28There's so much I want to ask, like what century you were born in
21:31Perry's expedition or even your scariest encounter
21:34Honestly, I'm a little freaked out right now
21:37Scariest encounter, huh?
21:38That's a pretty good one I haven't heard before
21:40If I had to choose
21:42Moat had gun to the head
21:43The consumption tax ranks high up there
21:45Look, man, I'm a struggling student, but come on
21:49You come on!
21:50Every day, I get one step closer to cutting out eggs from my diet
21:54Just you wait, they're gonna keep creeping it up until one morning you wake up and it's 10%
21:59That's how it was with the land tax, kids! Trust me!
22:02And if that ain't scary enough, one time I fixed up a broken TV only for some fella to hound me over a licensing fee
22:09Who does he think he is? Shaking folks down? Who's the boss? The KGB?
22:14Dude, not okay
22:16That's the one comparison you should never make, ever
22:19Look, I'll do anything to not miss Stretchman! Of course I paid!
22:22So deep down, you're not so shady
22:24Anyway, story time's over
22:27Every little thing's about money these days
22:30The only way for me to survive long enough to move on to the afterlife is by collecting fire and collecting coin
22:36Saving, but still living hand to mouth, sound familiar?
22:40It's tough to balance saving and spending
22:42I'd love to conserve energy by never lifting a finger, but that lifestyle's no better in the long run
22:47Being forced to live half-assed is a curse
22:51There's too much I have to do and yet too much I can't do in life
22:54Yesterday, didn't you say you don't even have a residency card? Isn't there a workaround?
23:00There's always one
23:01All that stuff is just data, and anybody can falsify data
23:05So long as there's a demand, there'll always be folks who do it for a living, plain and simple
23:10There was a time when I made fake IDs and family registers, too
23:15But in 1942, I got careless
23:18And that's why it eventually came back to bite me
23:21You got any guesses, Goldstar?
23:23What got to you in 1942?
23:26Gah!
23:26Gah!
23:27Gah!
23:29Gah!
23:34Gah!
23:35Gah!
