00:16I don't know what I'm saying.
00:42Let's do it.
01:10I'll see you next time.
01:32What do you want to do, you're the son?
01:35Checkmateまで
01:59house. We weren't allowed to touch it. As far as I knew, we never actually used the
02:04calendar. So I wondered why we bothered to keep it at all. I couldn't stop thinking about
02:10that fact. One day, when my parents weren't home, I decided to check it out. The month
02:18of January had a picture of a baby. February's picture was a small child. March was a boy
02:24playing baseball. Since my birthday was in December, I flipped to the last page to see
02:29what the picture would look like. The final page had an image of an old man and his eyes
02:40were closed as if he were dead. It creeped me out, so I decided to close the calendar, but
02:46then the old man's eyes suddenly opened and started crying tears of blood. Frightened, I
02:54let go of the calendar. But when I looked down, my hands were covered with the old man's blood.
03:00When my parents returned, I told them what I had done. They had the calendar exercised
03:05and burned. Our family doesn't really talk about that calendar anymore, but I'll never
03:12forget the thing that frightened me the most. It was that the old man on the last page looked
03:18just like my grandpa.
03:27What? Was it not scary? Man, I thought for sure you guys would be scared. If that story doesn't
03:36scare you with a typhoon raging outside, then nothing will. It's just... I don't get the
03:40point of it. Huh? Like, why was the kid's grandpa drawn in the calendar? Was his grandpa
03:47alive or dead? Was the calendar hand-drawn or printed? I don't know. Hand-drawn, maybe?
03:53Why? Jeez, coconuts, who cares?
03:57You're obviously way overthinking the story. Not everything's going to have a rational explanation.
04:02Do you get what I mean? Endo can't explain how the calendar works, but it's the unknown that
04:07often makes people afraid of something. Yeah? Wouldn't you say? No, please, I wasn't even
04:12scared. Only a kid would be afraid of such a lame story. Seriously, half of it didn't make
04:16any sense. You'll have to try harder if you want to scare me. Okay, fine. I was just warming
04:22up. My next story is even scarier. The past few months, I've been suffering from some mysterious
04:32illness. I feel miserable all the time. I've started to run a high fever as well. My mother
04:43is worried about me, so she decided to take me to the hospital and see a doctor.
04:50Well, I'd like to run some tests. Routine diagnostics.
04:54We went down to the lab and had my blood drawn. After that, we went to radiology and took an
05:00x-ray of my chest. We went back to the waiting room. Then the doctor came running in. He told
05:08us they had found something strange on my chest x-ray. Nothing could prepare me for what I
05:18would see on the x-ray. It was the shadow of an old man's face.
05:30Oh, people! Stop it. Toe, you're freaking out, Zaya.
05:36Come on. It wasn't that scary. I hate ghosts and creepy stuff.
05:41What? But I thought you weren't scared. I'm not scared. I just don't like ghost stories.
05:46Aren't those two things closely related? Stop teasing me!
05:52You guys are jerks! Not you, Hotaru.
05:55Why do you even like those dumb stories, Coconuts?
05:58Huh? Honestly, I don't really care one way or the other about them. I actually thought you
06:03were having fun. Well, I'm not having fun! I hate ghost stories, okay?
06:07Calm down. Besides, I still haven't told you the ending yet. You see, the old man was actually...
06:14Oh, no! I'll turn you into a ghost!
06:20It's okay, Master Zaya. Just listen. The story actually has a happy ending. See, when the boy
06:26was small, he had to have a lung transplant. And the new lung came from the old man he saw
06:31on the x-ray. Oh, I guess that kind of makes sense.
06:35Yes. The boy remembered he hadn't visited the old man's grave in a long time. He felt bad
06:40about it. So the next day, he went with his mother to the grave and they prayed together.
06:45And it worked! The boy got better and lived happily ever after.
06:51That's how it goes, right, Endo? Yeah! I'm not surprised you knew the story,
06:56Hoxeru. I would be ashamed if I didn't. Because both of the stories you told came from the same
07:01package, which I just happened to have on me. It's super scary, StoryGum! Each package comes
07:08with a different story, and I'm proud to say I've read all 144 of them. I'd be more disturbed
07:13than proud of that fact if I were you.
07:20Whatcha thinking about, Kokunotsu? Um, well, I was just thinking about the boy
07:25in the story. Do you think the old man is supposed to be his grandfather?
07:28Yeah, I guess. That would explain why he needed to visit the grave.
07:32But why would he make his own grandson sick? Seems kind of harsh for forgetting to visit
07:37a grave.
07:41What's wrong? You guys think it's harsh, too, right?
07:45Hmm. Basically, you don't like the story because it doesn't make sense.
07:51If it doesn't follow any type of logic, it's not scary to you.
07:55Right.
07:55For example, what about those horror stories where everyone dies, and yet there's still
08:00someone to tell it? Details like that, am I right?
08:03Yes, my point exactly. What about the one where the two guys get attacked by a monster
08:08and one leaves the other boy behind? But then later he's all, I wonder how my friend is.
08:14Like, calm? What a horrible guy. You don't just abandon a buddy like that.
08:18Then there's another story about this girl who gets sucked into this strange darkness.
08:22Darkness is the worst!
08:24I mean, she's probably dead, but somehow people still know about her story.
08:28Yeah, how do they know about it? Right?
08:31And the one where a girl's friend falls into a manhole and there are bloodstains?
08:35Bloodstains!
08:36Then she goes to school like normal the next day. The day before, she was all, wah!
08:40My friend fell into a hole. These bloodstains are creepy. But now she's like, where's he at?
08:49I understand your frustration. Luckily, I can explain those things.
08:53You can?
08:54Yep. This is top secret, okay? You have to swear that you'll never share what I'm about to tell you.
09:02Mm-hmm.
09:04All the stories are written by the company's employees.
09:07What? Seriously? Even though they sound super realistic?
09:11Indeed. It's all just a bunch of made-up horror stories.
09:14You're kidding. That's messed up. Am I right, Saya?
09:18Me? What do I think? I don't really care one way or the other about those fake stories.
09:25Those super scary fake stories. And this crazy horrific packaging.
09:30They don't bother me in the least, so stop nagging me about it, okay?
09:37Whoops! Oh no, it's in your brain!
09:45I'm sorry, it's like my brain is stuck in scaredy-cat mode.
09:49It doesn't matter that they're all made up. To me, those stories are still terrifying.
09:54I think Toe's dead.
09:55Worry not, Master.
09:57Huh?
09:57As long as we have this gum here with us, we'll be a-okay.
10:01How's it work? Do we, like, chew the gum to take our minds off things?
10:05Not at all.
10:06So how does it help?
10:07Say a ghost or monster does show up, we'll just share some of our yummy gum with them.
10:11Then, they'll be grateful and go back to their homes.
10:14Because sharing is caring, so I'm told.
10:17Are you sure about that?
10:18Of course. Don't you believe in the power of sharing?
10:21I mean, yeah, sharing is awesome, but it's more like I wasn't aware that a ghost could actually chew gum.
10:31Although, trying to imagine a ghost chewing gum is kind of funny.
10:34In fact, I don't feel scared anymore.
10:43It's dark! A blackout!
10:47Man, this typhoon blows!
10:49Don't move! I'll get a flashlight!
10:50Everyone, calm down!
10:52We need to find inner peace.
10:54Let's think about Dagashi in order to calm ourselves in these stressful times.
10:58Time!
11:00What?
11:01Oh.
11:16And so...
11:20Whoa!
11:21Crazy stuff.
11:23The power went out so I came to check on you kids.
11:25It was total chaos in here.
11:27Next thing I knew, there was gum in my mouth.
11:33Scaredy-cat mode is kind of amazing.
11:45Are you kidding me?
11:48Ha!
11:49Is this the face of a guy who would kid you?
11:52Hmm?
11:53Hmm.
11:56Dude, it's completely legit!
11:57And super popular in the bigger cities right now.
12:00Kids everywhere are doing this to up their street cred.
12:03I saw a video online, so you know it's true.
12:06Are you serious?
12:07There's actually a video about it?
12:09Yes!
12:16You're saying kendama is popular, right?
12:19Mm-hmm.
12:20Mm-hmm.
12:20Liar!
12:21Now I'm positive you're joking.
12:23Shut up!
12:24It's not a joke!
12:25I'm telling you it's popular, dude!
12:27Oh, yeah, buddy?
12:28Well, if that really is the case...
12:32Then how come the kendama we have doesn't sell?
12:35Oh, man, that's a pretty fair argument.
12:38Jeez, and they cost 1,300 yen, too.
12:42Why are they so expensive?
12:44We haven't sold any of these things in years, so sorry, pal, but I think you might be mistaken.
12:53Look, man, the video you saw was probably just old.
12:55I wouldn't worry about it too much.
12:59If you sell them...
13:00Huh?
13:02If you sell them, then will you believe me?
13:05What?
13:06Don't do it!
13:09No, don't!
13:10If I buy these kendama, then will you believe they're popular?
13:14I'll take two of these, please!
13:16One for me and one for my best friend!
13:18What?
13:20Wow, you paid an exact change in everything.
13:24But still...
13:25At that moment, Kokonotsu realized something.
13:28He could no longer ignore his friend's daily resolve.
13:31This was about more than money.
13:33It was about pride.
13:35Sometimes being a man means standing by your word.
13:38It means being there for a friend who's striving to become something more.
13:42And that something was...
13:43All right, now the ladies will really love me!
13:46Really love me!
13:47Really love me!
13:54And so...
14:06Hold up a sec.
14:08Just give it a chance.
14:08I promise it's really fun.
14:09Well, it's not that it isn't fun.
14:12I guess it's more like...
14:14Look.
14:19It's kind of hard.
14:23This is so weird.
14:24The guy in the video made it seem so easy.
14:27Plus, it looked really cool.
14:28No wonder he has a ton of girls around, you know?
14:31Yeah, it really looked cool.
14:33What exactly did he do with the kendama?
14:35Okay, so there was this one thing.
14:37You hold the ball like this.
14:40Then you swing the stick into the air.
14:43And try to get the stick to land in the ball.
14:46Ah, crap!
14:52So, basically, it was something like what I just did.
14:56It wasn't even remotely cool.
14:58More importantly, your thumb has been at a really weird angle.
15:02My favorite thumb!
15:07Oh, there you guys are.
15:10What's going on?
15:12Hey, Sia, what brings you by?
15:13Go away, sis!
15:14We're busy!
15:18Yeah, I somehow highly doubt that.
15:20But, whatever.
15:26A kendama!
15:27Whoa, old school!
15:29Hey, back off!
15:30A noob like you could get hurt!
15:32This isn't some kid's choice, Sia!
15:35Are you sure it's not broken?
15:36I don't know, maybe!
15:41Huh?
15:43Huh?
15:45Huh?
15:45Huh?
15:48Huh?
15:53Amazing!
15:55Wow!
15:56I forgot how much fun these things could be
16:04No way, Sia, you're incredible. Thanks, and so
16:15What so Ken Doma is super popular now according to toe
16:20It's weird. He bought two of them from me and I'll just to prove that they are indeed popular
16:28If I remember right, I think we already have a few of them back at the house. Really?
16:35Yeah, now that I think about it you said they were popular back then, too
16:40You're getting quite the collection
16:42You know
16:48Who cares I just wanted a brand new one is all
16:56And so
17:06Hey coconuts, yeah
17:10Do you ever
17:12Huh?
17:14You ever want to be popular
17:16Come on. I mean like with girls and stuff
17:24Hell, yes, I do
17:27Right on man. Yeah
17:29Listen coconuts you ever stop to think about why popular guys are even popular
17:35Not really they're popular
17:38Because they understand the inner workings of a girl's mind
17:41You know what I'm talking about
17:43Like those super average guys walking around with girls who are way out of their league
17:48They're not good-looking, but they get how women work
17:51Amazing. How do you know that?
17:53I sink a lot of time into researching things in order to stay ahead of the popular trends
17:57Oh, I get it like with Ken Doma
18:00Exactly right
18:02What's more the other day while I was flipping through science dumb fashion magazines I noticed something
18:07I learned girls are total saps for fortune-telling for real see it's like this
18:24Are you all right my hasty little sunglasses butterfly?
18:29For some strange reason girls seem to enjoy surrendering themselves to things like fate or coincidence
18:35So in order to better understand our subjects a.k.a. Girls we should try it out using this poppin
18:41fortune-telling chocolate
18:44Oh, yeah, I've seen that before
18:46I know we carry it at the shop, but I don't think I've ever eaten it
18:49So I'm honestly not sure how it's supposed to even taste
18:52Well, that makes two of us. There's only one way to find out though. So let's give it a try
18:56Okay, I guess I'll just pick one randomly. Oh, let's start with health can't go wrong there
19:09Look it's showing a double circle. Oh, yeah, that's definitely a good thing. Looks like my health is optimal
19:17Um, so how is it really huh? How's what like your health? How do you feel?
19:23Hmm
19:26Good I guess what only good. Oh, well, just now I felt like it started changing for the better
19:33It's definitely more optimal like more so than when you hurt your thumb
19:42Anyway moving right along next let's check homework
19:45Okay
19:46Listen before we do this. I need you to know something
19:49I haven't cracked open even one single book this summer
19:54Me neither. I've done zero homework. All right, then
19:59Let's open this bad boy up. Yeah
20:03No freaking way an X
20:06This fortune-telling chocolate is amazing. I think this stuff might be the real deal. My mind is blown, dude
20:12I mean, how does it know no wonder girls are so into these things and how it's crazy
20:17I really feel like we're starting to understand how girls minds work. Yes. I'm right there with you, man
20:22Rad
20:24Okay, which one should we go for next?
20:28Hey question
20:29Is there something you want besides just being popular with the ladies? What?
20:33Hmm not that I can think of is there anything else you want?
20:37Hmm
20:43I've always secretly wished to see a girl's panties
20:46What?
20:48You're asking quite a lot of that chocolate
20:51Maybe I am but I have to try
20:54Coconuts only this knows if we'll get to see panties today
20:58Right
21:07Found ya! I've been looking for you
21:13Hey, Otaru
21:14What's up?
21:16Oh, you're hanging with Indo. I hope I didn't interrupt something
21:20What? Us?
21:22Not at all
21:22We're just talking
21:24Uh, so, um, did you need me for something?
21:28Oh
21:29You weren't at the shop, so I wanted to make sure an agent of darkness didn't get you
21:33But here you are
21:34Yep, I'm totally fine. I'll be heading back soon
21:37Well, I suppose I'll wait at the shop with Master Saiya then
21:40Um, cool
21:43I'll see you guys later
22:10I'm not even kidding right now. This is the best day of my life
