Momoyuki Mogura : Well, I screwed up. (0:00:01.90)
Momoyuki Mogura : I mean, nobody expects a Kojien
to fall out of the sky.
(0:00:04.26)
Kuriaki Magi : I'm telling you, the theme makes no sense! (0:01:43.83)
Kuriaki Magi : Why would you insist on using muscles (0:01:46.37)
Kuriaki Magi : for a children's literature theory
group research theme?!
(0:01:48.17)
Kuriaki Magi : "Raving" in a different way, maybe! (0:01:54.96)
Kuriaki Magi : Not because I wanted to. (0:02:03.35)
Kuriaki Magi : This is my fault? (0:02:12.23)
Kuriaki Magi : Aren't you his girlfriend?!
Talk some sense into him!
(0:02:17.90)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah. (0:02:26.16)
Kuriaki Magi : Hey! (0:02:26.75)
Kuriaki Magi : He's just straight-up Gian. (0:02:27.62)
Yaeko Kirihara : Not much we can do about it. (0:02:29.71)
Yaeko Kirihara : Just look at Fujimura-kun's
social media account.
(0:02:31.71)
Kuriaki Magi : He should die a thousand deaths! (0:02:45.22)
Yaeko Kirihara : Can you beat these people? (0:02:47.35)
Kuriaki Magi : I don't even want to get involved. (0:02:49.02)
Yaeko Kirihara : Not only that, but he just
posted this a moment ago!
(0:02:50.94)
Kuriaki Magi : I've never understood anything less
in my entire college experience.
(0:02:56.61)
Kuriaki Magi : Why would such an impossibly cheery
macho musclebrain be a literature major
(0:03:00.24)
Kuriaki Magi : taking a children's literature seminar
in the Liberal Arts Department?
(0:03:03.62)
Yaeko Kirihara : I couldn't believe my eyes
when I first saw him, either.
(0:03:07.83)
Yaeko Kirihara : I was like, "Is there a fairy
in this seminar now?"
(0:03:10.50)
Yaeko Kirihara : He's a real rarity: a literary macho man who
can read Dazai Osamu and still be cheerful.
(0:03:14.00)
Kuriaki Magi : How can a creature like that even exist?! (0:03:19.21)
Kuriaki Magi : And don't wave a Kojien around
as a workout! That's dangerous!
(0:03:21.93)
Kuriaki Magi : Forget being no longer human!
He's peak humanity!
(0:03:25.39)
Kuriaki Magi : He should be opening with "I've been
a winner all my life," damn it!
(0:03:28.97)
Yaeko Kirihara : You have the most eloquent inferiority
complex I've ever seen, Magi-kun.
(0:03:33.44)
Kuriaki Magi : Drinks! (0:03:38.28)
Yaeko Kirihara : Highball! (0:03:39.07)
Kuriaki Magi : I drank too much. (0:03:44.66)
Momoyuki Mogura : No way... (0:03:52.21)
Momoyuki Mogura : Billie Eilish's... "Bad Guy"... music video... (0:03:58.42)
Kuriaki Magi : Wait, is that... (0:04:09.06)
Kuriaki Magi : Hey, are you okay?! (0:04:10.98)
Momoyuki Mogura : Uh... Hey, you two. (0:04:12.98)
Momoyuki Mogura : Just pretend you never saw this and go home. (0:04:15.10)
Momoyuki Mogura : No one would fault you for that
in this day and age.
(0:04:17.27)
Kuriaki Magi : No way! We can't do that! (0:04:20.48)
Yaeko Kirihara : Uh, an ambulance! (0:04:23.15)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, right! Sorry, I'll call right now! (0:04:25.36)
Momoyuki Mogura : No, really, it's... (0:04:27.91)
Momoyuki Mogura : What? Ambulance? (0:04:29.41)
Momoyuki Mogura : No! Don't call an ambulance! (0:04:31.12)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm broke! I can't afford surgery or medicine! (0:04:34.75)
Momoyuki Mogura : I don't even have an insurance card! (0:04:38.00)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm fine! Based on my experience,
this kind of injury is nothing!
(0:04:40.38)
Momoyuki Mogura : The head just looks extra
dramatic when it bleeds!
(0:04:43.01)
Momoyuki Mogura : The medical expenses would end me!
No hospitals, please!
(0:04:45.38)
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey! (0:04:48.60)
Kuriaki Magi : Yae-chan, I think his injury
is making him say weird things.
(0:04:50.81)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah. I just called an ambulance. (0:04:54.48)
Momoyuki Mogura : You did?! (0:04:56.69)
Momoyuki Mogura : Okay, you can pay for it, then! (0:04:57.65)
Momoyuki Mogura : You got yourselves into my mess,
so you gotta take care of me now!
(0:04:59.65)
Momoyuki Mogura : If you don't want that,
throw me into some alley,
(0:05:02.11)
Momoyuki Mogura : hide me from the ambulance, and get outta here! (0:05:04.74)
Kuriaki Magi : It'll be here soon. You shouldn't try to talk. (0:05:07.41)
Kuriaki Magi : You'll be all right, sir. (0:05:10.49)
Momoyuki Mogura : Wow, not many nice kids like you these days. (0:05:12.04)
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, shit. Now I have no choice. (0:05:14.54)
Momoyuki Mogura : Wait, no! Where are you going?! (0:05:22.30)
Yaeko Kirihara : Magi-kun! (0:05:24.97)
Momoyuki Mogura : Don't follow me! (0:05:26.01)
Momoyuki Mogura : This is just... you know...
SFX makeup! It was a setup!
(0:05:27.30)
Kuriaki Magi : Like hell it is!
Not when I can smell the blood!
(0:05:30.80)
Kuriaki Magi : Damn, he runs fast for a guy in sandals! (0:05:33.60)
Kuriaki Magi : Yae-chan, something's
definitely off about this guy.
(0:05:37.10)
Kuriaki Magi : Can anyone run around like that
after losing so much blood?
(0:05:40.73)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah, and can someone
in that condition really be so articulate?
(0:05:44.57)
Kuriaki Magi : He's gone. (0:05:53.41)
Yaeko Kirihara : What now? (0:05:54.29)
Yaeko Kirihara : Weird or not, if he actually dies... (0:05:55.50)
Kuriaki Magi : Yeah. He might really have been
confused because of his wound.
(0:05:58.75)
Yaeko Kirihara : I know! The police! (0:06:01.92)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, yeah! I forgot! (0:06:03.38)
Kuriaki Magi : Um, what was the number for the police again? (0:06:05.05)
Yaeko Kirihara : 110! Dial 110! Calm down, Magi-kun! (0:06:07.59)
Momoyuki Mogura : Okay, I get it. Let's talk. (0:06:16.43)
Momoyuki Mogura : Just don't call the police, please! (0:06:18.64)
Momoyuki Mogura : Come on in. Sorry it's such a mess. (0:06:33.70)
Momoyuki Mogura : Man... (0:06:41.67)
Momoyuki Mogura : Kids these days sure are nice. (0:06:43.92)
Momoyuki Mogura : Old people are so much more
shameless. It really sucks.
(0:06:47.72)
Momoyuki Mogura : Y'know, the old fart who runs
the general store down the street...
(0:06:51.72)
Kuriaki Magi : What are you talking about? (0:06:54.68)
Kuriaki Magi : We're worried about you here! (0:06:56.10)
Kuriaki Magi : Should you be that crude with it? (0:07:01.98)
Momoyuki Mogura : Coffee or tea? (0:07:05.57)
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry, but I don't have booze. I don't drink. (0:07:07.78)
Kuriaki Magi : Uh, honestly, that's fine. (0:07:10.78)
Momoyuki Mogura : How old are you guys, anyway? (0:07:13.74)
Momoyuki Mogura : Should you be out this late? (0:07:15.78)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm 21. (0:07:17.62)
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm 20. (0:07:18.95)
Momoyuki Mogura : You're 21 and 20?! (0:07:20.08)
Momoyuki Mogura : Wow, sorry. I thought the girl
was in, like, middle school.
(0:07:22.08)
Yaeko Kirihara : Oh, thanks... (0:07:26.88)
Kuriaki Magi : You just apologized for not having booze. (0:07:27.96)
Momoyuki Mogura : Yeah, but you look pretty
damn young for 21, too.
(0:07:30.67)
Kuriaki Magi : He's not just rude. He talks a lot, too. (0:07:35.35)
Yaeko Kirihara : You think he's really okay? (0:07:38.35)
Momoyuki Mogura : But man, 21, huh? (0:07:40.23)
Momoyuki Mogura : You're young. I envy you.
Bet you're strong, too.
(0:07:42.06)
Kuriaki Magi : How old are you ? (0:07:45.23)
Momoyuki Mogura : Just accept that I'm old compared to you guys. (0:07:46.69)
Momoyuki Mogura : Considering the outfits... You students? (0:07:49.61)
Momoyuki Mogura : Won't your parents be worried? (0:07:51.78)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, it's fine. I live alone. (0:07:54.11)
Yaeko Kirihara : Me, too. (0:07:56.74)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, then did you have some fun
plans together tonight?
(0:07:58.12)
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry 'bout that. (0:08:01.62)
Momoyuki Mogura : Man, you guys are too trusting. (0:08:04.42)
Momoyuki Mogura : When asked if your parents would be worried, (0:08:07.71)
Momoyuki Mogura : all you need to say is,
"No, everything's fine."
(0:08:11.05)
Momoyuki Mogura : You shouldn't give a stranger
more information than necessary.
(0:08:13.18)
Momoyuki Mogura : Especially a girl. (0:08:18.35)
Momoyuki Mogura : As her boyfriend, you gotta protect her. (0:08:20.27)
Kuriaki Magi : I'm not her boyfriend. (0:08:22.64)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, damn, sorry. (0:08:24.35)
Momoyuki Mogura : Would that be considered
sexual harassment these days?
(0:08:25.94)
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry about that. I just
can't keep up with the times.
(0:08:28.98)
Kuriaki Magi : Yae-chan, let's go home. I think he's fine. (0:08:32.82)
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, so your surname is Magi, right? (0:08:36.16)
Momoyuki Mogura : Why do you call her "Yae-chan"? (0:08:39.12)
Momoyuki Mogura : That kinda thing really interests me. (0:08:41.37)
Momoyuki Mogura : In the same club? Or seminar? (0:08:43.66)
Kuriaki Magi : Seriously, let's go. He's gonna be
a huge pain in the ass.
(0:08:45.42)
Momoyuki Mogura : Leaving? (0:08:48.88)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, then here. Take your phone back. (0:08:51.05)
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry I took it. (0:08:53.92)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, right. I should give you my contact info. (0:08:55.76)
Yaeko Kirihara : Um, and mine, too. (0:08:58.51)
Kuriaki Magi : I don't know what your deal is,
but you should really go to a hospital,
(0:09:02.60)
Kuriaki Magi : so tell me yours. (0:09:06.90)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, I don't have a cell phone. (0:09:08.23)
Momoyuki Mogura : No Internet here, either. Or driver's license. (0:09:10.57)
Momoyuki Mogura : Or any phone at all. (0:09:13.61)
Kuriaki Magi : What's your name? (0:09:15.99)
Momoyuki Mogura : Mogura. (0:09:17.66)
Kuriaki Magi : Mogura? (0:09:18.74)
Momoyuki Mogura : Like I said, it's Mogura.
Feel free to forget it.
(0:09:19.62)
Kuriaki Magi : How does someone like you
work in this day and age?
(0:09:22.83)
Momoyuki Mogura : I mean, the sign said you ran a bathhouse
and did some kind of craftsman work...
(0:09:34.05)
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, that's a good question. (0:09:42.39)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, I almost forgot. (0:09:44.64)
Momoyuki Mogura : I feel bad not doing anything
to thank you after you've been so kind.
(0:09:46.19)
Momoyuki Mogura : If you ever get into any kind of trouble
you can't get out of, come see me.
(0:09:50.65)
Momoyuki Mogura : Though it's fine if you forget me, too, really. (0:09:54.57)
Momoyuki Mogura : I got you in this pretty deep,
so I'm a little worried.
(0:09:57.49)
Kuriaki Magi : Well, we'll be going, then. (0:10:02.03)
Kuriaki Magi : I'm Magi, third-year in the Liberal Arts
Department of Yatsume University.
(0:10:05.45)
Kuriaki Magi : If anything happens... any side effects
or anything... I'd hate that, so...
(0:10:09.12)
Momoyuki Mogura : You're the kinda guy who's too sincere
for his own good, aren't you?
(0:10:12.71)
Momoyuki Mogura : Careful getting home, both of you. (0:10:16.63)
Momoyuki Mogura : And, uh... you know... (0:10:21.51)
Momoyuki Mogura : You don't have to believe this, but... (0:10:24.01)
Momoyuki Mogura : I was banished from
the afterlife, so I can't die.
(0:10:26.81)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's my deal. (0:10:30.98)
Momoyuki Mogura : So if you ever get into any of that
kinda trouble, you can talk to me.
(0:10:32.52)
Momoyuki Mogura : And you can tell other people if you want. (0:10:37.32)
Momoyuki Mogura : No one would believe you anyway. (0:10:39.03)
Momoyuki Mogura : I don't have ID, a family register,
or a residency card.
(0:10:41.53)
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, I don't exist. (0:10:45.29)
Momoyuki Mogura : That means the police won't come
to question you, either.
(0:10:48.29)
Momoyuki Mogura : You genuinely don't need to worry about that. (0:10:52.79)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'll wash off the blood on the street
and cover it with mud before morning.
(0:10:55.92)
Momoyuki Mogura : Anyway, thanks.
And oppekepe to you, youngsters.
(0:11:00.30)
Kuriaki Magi : "Oppekepe"? (0:11:05.60)
Yaeko Kirihara : "The oppekepe-bushi"... (0:11:07.39)
Yaeko Kirihara : "A satirical song that was popular
in the Meiji era," this says.
(0:11:09.31)
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : That said, there are few such stories
in the Asian mythologies.
(0:11:17.65)
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : This is most likely due to differences
in culture and religious perspectives.
(0:11:23.57)
Kuriaki Magi : There's some kind of black smudge... (0:11:25.66)
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : We'll discuss that
in a bit more detail next time.
(0:11:30.04)
Kuriaki Magi : Did my vision get worse? (0:11:32.21)
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : That's it for today. (0:11:34.46)
Yaeko Kirihara : Magi-kun, got a sec? (0:11:36.30)
Kuriaki Magi : Uh, yeah... I got some, too... or I tried to. (0:11:41.18)
Kuriaki Magi : Even with my part-time job money,
this was all I could get.
(0:11:45.18)
Kuriaki Magi : Medicine sure is expensive. (0:11:48.14)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah, we should really go check on him, right? (0:11:49.77)
Kuriaki Magi : Yeah, I mean, he... (0:11:53.52)
Kuriaki Magi : What would we do if he died
because we left him alone, huh?
(0:12:03.24)
Yaeko Kirihara : I don't want to take on
that kind of trauma in my twenties.
(0:12:06.83)
Yaeko Kirihara : Also, should we tell Fujimura-kun about this? (0:12:10.04)
Kuriaki Magi : Nah, I don't think it'd do any good. (0:12:12.67)
Kuriaki Magi : The guy kept the Kojien anyway,
and we don't have proof.
(0:12:15.04)
Kuriaki Magi : I'm pretty sure it was Fujimura, though. (0:12:19.46)
Kuriaki Magi : Anyway, let's go. (0:12:21.92)
Kuriaki Magi : It was past the main street and the shopping
district, then further down, right?
(0:12:23.22)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah. (0:12:27.05)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, flowers... would probably
just make things worse.
(0:12:30.31)
Kuriaki Magi : Is there anything else he might need? (0:12:33.69)
Yaeko Kirihara : Well, they don't sell
blood transfusion packs, so...
(0:12:35.85)
Yaeko Kirihara : You think he needs liver? (0:12:44.20)
Kuriaki Magi : I feel like we've been
more panicked than he was.
(0:12:47.07)
Yaeko Kirihara : Well, I hope he likes liver. (0:12:50.74)
Kuriaki Magi : If he doesn't want it, I'll live off of it
for the rest of the month.
(0:12:53.46)
Kuriaki Magi : It should be around here... (0:13:01.46)
Yaeko Kirihara : Did we take a wrong turn? (0:13:08.14)
Kuriaki Magi : No, this is right. (0:13:13.52)
Kuriaki Magi : I remember seeing this trash collection sign. (0:13:15.35)
Kuriaki Magi : See? (0:13:17.60)
Kuriaki Magi : The collection days had been changed,
and someone wrote on it.
(0:13:18.52)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah, I did see that. (0:13:22.28)
Yaeko Kirihara : Do they use manhole covers with this
design in any of the 23 special wards?
(0:13:23.74)
Yaeko Kirihara : I feel like I remember this, too. (0:13:29.07)
Kuriaki Magi : But the street stops here. (0:13:31.16)
Yaeko Kirihara : This feels like those mysterious
spirit encounters you see online.
(0:13:33.62)
Kuriaki Magi : Don't say stuff like that! (0:13:40.59)
Kuriaki Magi : That kinda thing scares the shit out of me! (0:13:43.17)
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm sorry! Magi-kun's about to cry! I'm sorry! (0:13:45.38)
Kuriaki Magi : Listen. (0:13:47.84)
Kuriaki Magi : If I had to choose at gunpoint between
a haunted house and a free fall,
(0:13:49.35)
Kuriaki Magi : the free fall would just barely win out. (0:13:53.56)
Kuriaki Magi : But either one might make me throw up! (0:13:56.02)
Yaeko Kirihara : Really? I'll remember that. (0:13:58.65)
Kuriaki Magi : But what makes me wanna puke
more than anything is the kind of person
(0:14:00.73)
Kuriaki Magi : who'd force me into that choice! (0:14:03.78)
Yaeko Kirihara : You mean Fujimura-kun?! (0:14:06.36)
Kuriaki Magi : And I never want to see a ghost in my life! (0:14:08.45)
Yaeko Kirihara : Your face is the scariest thing here right now! (0:14:11.41)
Kuriaki Magi : I can't even stand the word "spirit"! (0:14:14.45)
Kuriaki Magi : I wish you'd just say "monster"! (0:14:17.04)
Yaeko Kirihara : I think monsters would be
a lot more likely to attack you...
(0:14:18.67)
Yaeko Kirihara : There, there, there. (0:14:22.17)
Momoyuki Mogura : Look at you two youngsters flirting. (0:14:24.00)
Momoyuki Mogura : So did something happen? (0:14:27.47)
Momoyuki Mogura : Or did you come to try out my bathhouse? (0:14:29.47)
Momoyuki Mogura : It's 500 yen for adults. (0:14:32.35)
Momoyuki Mogura : It was 300 yen before,
but prices just kept going up.
(0:14:34.47)
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry. (0:14:38.23)
Momoyuki Mogura : What's up? Let's go if you're going. (0:14:39.48)
Yaeko Kirihara : Huh? (0:14:47.78)
Momoyuki Mogura : Was I not the one you were looking for? (0:14:48.78)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's fine, too. (0:14:51.20)
Kuriaki Magi : No, um... (0:14:52.37)
Yaeko Kirihara : We came to bring you these. (0:14:53.99)
Momoyuki Mogura : What?! (0:14:55.70)
Momoyuki Mogura : Man, you really are the sincere type.
They're for me?
(0:14:57.00)
Yaeko Kirihara : Yes. (0:14:59.71)
Momoyuki Mogura : Wow, thanks. You sure? (0:15:00.58)
Kuriaki Magi : This, too. (0:15:02.79)
Momoyuki Mogura : Thanks. (0:15:03.50)
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, this is liver! (0:15:04.34)
Momoyuki Mogura : Woo-hoo! Nutrients incoming! (0:15:05.67)
Yaeko Kirihara : Oh, good. The liver made him
a lot happier than I expected.
(0:15:08.88)
Kuriaki Magi : Anyway, is the wound on your head okay? (0:15:12.47)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, it's fine. But look at this. (0:15:15.39)
Momoyuki Mogura : I bought a helmet. Second-hand, though. (0:15:18.43)
Momoyuki Mogura : Now I can keep my head safe. (0:15:21.02)
Momoyuki Mogura : But what about you two? (0:15:22.90)
Momoyuki Mogura : Did you see something, or something? (0:15:24.57)
Kuriaki Magi : See something? (0:15:26.90)
Momoyuki Mogura : So you really can see them now. (0:15:34.28)
Kuriaki Magi : Uh, hang on! (0:15:36.62)
Kuriaki Magi : I had my suspicions after all
the weird stuff you said and did,
(0:15:38.33)
Kuriaki Magi : but is that actually a spirit I'm seeing?! (0:15:41.87)
Kuriaki Magi : It's incredibly not-scary! (0:15:44.13)
Kuriaki Magi : Which is good, but... (0:15:46.30)
Kuriaki Magi : I was expecting the kind of cool, dramatic
figure you see in JUMP manga and stuff!
(0:15:48.63)
Kuriaki Magi : You tried to make it sound cool, but... (0:15:53.01)
Momoyuki Mogura : Youngster, reality always goes
in directions you wouldn't expect.
(0:15:57.14)
Momoyuki Mogura : This is your first spirit encounter! (0:16:02.44)
Momoyuki Mogura : Mogura Momoyuki. (0:16:11.45)
Momoyuki Mogura : "Mogura" means "hundred darknesses,"
and "Momoyuki" means "peach wood bow."
(0:16:13.61)
Momoyuki Mogura : 'Fraid I don't know whether it's
a lucky name or an unlucky one,
(0:16:16.53)
Momoyuki Mogura : but at this point,
I guess we're already acquainted.
(0:16:19.62)
Momoyuki Mogura : Here's my proper introduction. (0:16:25.58)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm a hermit, a rare kind
of person in this world.
(0:16:27.21)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm sorry you had to make my acquaintance. (0:16:29.34)
Kuriaki Magi : Peach wood bow? (0:16:31.76)
Kuriaki Magi : Long ago, bows made from peach wood
were said to ward off misfortune,
(0:16:34.13)
Kuriaki Magi : so they're also used
to vanquish evil spirits...
(0:16:37.60)
Kuriaki Magi : I think, at least. (0:16:41.06)
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, you knew, huh? (0:16:41.93)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's a liberal arts kid for ya. (0:16:43.44)
Kuriaki Magi : But writing "Mogura" as "hundred darknesses"? (0:16:45.23)
Kuriaki Magi : In terms of Japanese mythology... (0:16:48.23)
Kuriaki Magi : It's like the opposite of Amaterasu Omikami.
That's super ominous.
(0:16:50.69)
Momoyuki Mogura : Just so you know, I don't have any cool
powers like exorcism or whatever.
(0:17:02.96)
Momoyuki Mogura : I just took a little fire from him. (0:17:07.96)
Momoyuki Mogura : That dude's not an evil spirit or anything. (0:17:10.63)
Momoyuki Mogura : He was probably just gazing fondly
at the little lady here or something.
(0:17:13.22)
Yaeko Kirihara : Uh, that's kinda gross... (0:17:16.89)
Momoyuki Mogura : Yeah, I guess it is, but... (0:17:19.05)
Kuriaki Magi : Please explain what's going on here. (0:17:23.23)
Momoyuki Mogura : All right. You're pretty quick
to make decisions.
(0:17:25.81)
Momoyuki Mogura : Magi-chan, Yae-chan,
come to my place for a bit.
(0:17:28.27)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm about to tell you a really long,
crazy-sounding story.
(0:17:31.94)
Momoyuki Mogura : For now, just accept that. (0:17:34.74)
Momoyuki Mogura : Also, the ending is basically,
"If you ever see any ghosts, let me know."
(0:17:36.57)
Momoyuki Mogura : When you think of ghosts, you probably
picture something like this, right?
(0:17:45.50)
Kuriaki Magi : Well... yeah. (0:17:49.04)
Momoyuki Mogura : What do you think this is? (0:17:50.79)
Kuriaki Magi : A ghost light? (0:17:52.55)
Momoyuki Mogura : Right. (0:17:53.84)
Momoyuki Mogura : We also call it demon fire. (0:17:54.76)
Momoyuki Mogura : Specifically, it's something the dead produce
that guides them to the afterlife.
(0:17:56.55)
Momoyuki Mogura : Like how you decorate
with lantern plants during Obon.
(0:18:01.60)
Momoyuki Mogura : Those are named for the lanterns
said to be carried by the dead.
(0:18:03.72)
Momoyuki Mogura : Ghosts' souls contain that same fire, (0:18:07.23)
Momoyuki Mogura : and it makes them able
to proceed to the afterlife naturally.
(0:18:09.44)
Momoyuki Mogura : It varies from ghost to ghost, though,
so some lose their way.
(0:18:12.40)
Momoyuki Mogura : And demon fire is a by-product
of said fire that leaks out of souls.
(0:18:15.03)
Momoyuki Mogura : Remember when I told you
I was banished from the afterlife?
(0:18:19.32)
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, cut it out.
Don't start thinking I need counseling.
(0:18:23.33)
Momoyuki Mogura : Just hear me out. (0:18:28.42)
Momoyuki Mogura : The Sun stripped me of my right
to carry this fire in my own soul.
(0:18:30.42)
Momoyuki Mogura : So if I turned into a ghost,
I'm guaranteed to get lost.
(0:18:36.26)
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, I can't go to the afterlife. (0:18:39.09)
Momoyuki Mogura : I can store the fire by-product
made by ghosts in this lantern.
(0:18:44.97)
Momoyuki Mogura : The plan is to get a bunch of it
so it'll guide me to the afterlife.
(0:18:48.94)
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, listen! I only need you
to remember the gist of it!
(0:18:57.28)
Momoyuki Mogura : But that also means this is my flame of life. (0:19:01.16)
Momoyuki Mogura : You saw me using it in a different way before. (0:19:04.24)
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, shit. Now I have no choice. (0:19:07.75)
Kuriaki Magi : So you did use some kind of illegal substance! (0:19:10.42)
Kuriaki Magi : No wonder you didn't want us
to call the police!
(0:19:12.79)
Momoyuki Mogura : If we're being blunt, yes,
but watch how you phrase that!
(0:19:15.30)
Momoyuki Mogura : You might say I was charging my life force. (0:19:18.88)
Momoyuki Mogura : Kinda like an energy drink or e-money, I guess. (0:19:22.39)
Kuriaki Magi : Charging... (0:19:25.51)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh! So, like, healing your wound? (0:19:26.56)
Momoyuki Mogura : Nice, liberal arts kid. You catch on fast. (0:19:30.02)
Momoyuki Mogura : This is what I love about literature nerds. (0:19:32.73)
Momoyuki Mogura : To go even further, if I drink a lot, I can
maintain a state that keeps my body alive.
(0:19:37.07)
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, I can age in reverse. (0:19:42.41)
Kuriaki Magi : You really are just like a hermit. (0:19:44.58)
Momoyuki Mogura : Yeah. The only part of it that sucks
is that I didn't ask for it.
(0:19:46.58)
Momoyuki Mogura : Get it? I can't go to the afterlife,
but I still live normally.
(0:19:52.42)
Momoyuki Mogura : That means I do get hurt, sick,
and hungry, and I age.
(0:19:56.88)
Momoyuki Mogura : I can only stay alive if I regularly
fix up my body with this fire.
(0:20:01.63)
Momoyuki Mogura : And above all, I can't survive
in this world without money.
(0:20:05.93)
Momoyuki Mogura : And to get that, I have to work. (0:20:09.18)
Momoyuki Mogura : Living normally costs money. (0:20:11.77)
Momoyuki Mogura : With some self-restraint, I can
save up a bit, but it harms my health.
(0:20:13.77)
Momoyuki Mogura : Going to the hospital costs money. (0:20:17.11)
Momoyuki Mogura : Using the fire is free,
but I'm left with less each time.
(0:20:19.15)
Momoyuki Mogura : I have to keep this thing stocked with fire
while keeping up that kind of life.
(0:20:23.49)
Momoyuki Mogura : Whenever I happen to see a spirit,
like before, I mooch a little.
(0:20:27.95)
Momoyuki Mogura : This is literally
what it means to be tied down.
(0:20:33.58)
Momoyuki Mogura : It's a well-thought-out punishment. (0:20:36.00)
Kuriaki Magi : Punishment? (0:20:37.21)
Kuriaki Magi : It's punishment? (0:20:38.67)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's right. (0:20:41.05)
Momoyuki Mogura : They even gave it a clever name like "Drawer." (0:20:44.39)
Momoyuki Mogura : This place is basically a prison. (0:20:47.35)
Momoyuki Mogura : A drawer in which they stuff people
who can't go to the afterlife.
(0:20:50.72)
Kuriaki Magi : Hang on! (0:20:55.85)
Kuriaki Magi : There was no street there when we
first came along, but then it appeared!
(0:20:56.90)
Momoyuki Mogura : It was there. (0:21:00.53)
Momoyuki Mogura : You just weren't looking. (0:21:01.78)
Momoyuki Mogura : Humans only see what they want to see. (0:21:03.49)
Momoyuki Mogura : The things you're looking for
only turn up after you've looked all over.
(0:21:06.99)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's just how blind humans are. (0:21:10.41)
Momoyuki Mogura : Missing a street or two happens all the time. (0:21:13.41)
Momoyuki Mogura : Same with spirits. (0:21:16.67)
Momoyuki Mogura : You just became aware of things
you didn't notice before after meeting me.
(0:21:18.09)
Momoyuki Mogura : Any questions so far? (0:21:22.92)
Kuriaki Magi : I have a lot,
but it's all just so outlandish...
(0:21:26.01)
Kuriaki Magi : But weird things are happening,
so assuming it's true...
(0:21:29.93)
Kuriaki Magi : Stuff like "How old are you"?
and "Did you see Perry's ships arrive?"
(0:21:33.23)
Kuriaki Magi : and "What's the scariest thing
you've seen so far?"
(0:21:36.48)
Kuriaki Magi : My head's just a mess right now. (0:21:39.69)
Momoyuki Mogura : Scariest thing, huh?
Never been asked that before.
(0:21:41.90)
Momoyuki Mogura : Let's see... (0:21:46.36)
Momoyuki Mogura : It'd have to be the time when
consumption tax was implemented.
(0:21:47.87)
Kuriaki Magi : I get it, but come on. There's gotta be more. (0:21:52.83)
Momoyuki Mogura : No, it's a huge problem! (0:21:55.37)
Momoyuki Mogura : Every day, I have a meeting in my head
about whether to ditch my breakfast eggs!
(0:21:57.37)
Momoyuki Mogura : And experience tells me it's gonna
reach 10% someday! It gives me chills!
(0:22:00.42)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's how it was with the land tax, too! (0:22:05.13)
Momoyuki Mogura : Also, the time I picked up a broken TV, (0:22:08.01)
Momoyuki Mogura : and days after I fixed it and turned it on, (0:22:09.93)
Momoyuki Mogura : I was asked if I was paying my license fees. (0:22:12.14)
Momoyuki Mogura : It's insane. What the hell is with those guys? (0:22:14.98)
Momoyuki Mogura : Who are they? The KGB? (0:22:17.98)
Kuriaki Magi : Dude, that is the one comparison
you should not make. Ever.
(0:22:20.11)
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, I paid it, though! I like Stretch Man! (0:22:24.15)
Kuriaki Magi : You're actually a good guy, aren't you?! (0:22:27.82)
Momoyuki Mogura : Anyway, that's the story. (0:22:30.62)
Momoyuki Mogura : You need money to do anything. (0:22:33.04)
Momoyuki Mogura : I need fire, I need money, (0:22:35.37)
Momoyuki Mogura : and I need to live a healthy
life if I want to move on.
(0:22:37.58)
Momoyuki Mogura : I save up, but I never have more.
You know how that feels, right?
(0:22:41.25)
Momoyuki Mogura : It's tough to balance saving and spending. (0:22:45.01)
Momoyuki Mogura : I'd love to conserve resources
by never doing anything.
(0:22:47.55)
Momoyuki Mogura : That's the kind of mental state I'm stuck in. (0:22:50.80)
Momoyuki Mogura : I do everything half-assed. (0:22:53.81)
Momoyuki Mogura : There's too much I have to do,
and too much I can't do.
(0:22:56.35)
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, yeah. You did say you don't
even have a residency card.
(0:22:59.44)
Kuriaki Magi : Isn't there a way for you to get one? (0:23:02.56)
Momoyuki Mogura : There is. (0:23:05.15)
Momoyuki Mogura : I mean, it's just data. Anyone can falsify it. (0:23:06.74)
Momoyuki Mogura : So long as there are people who need it,
there'll be people who do it for a living.
(0:23:10.95)
Momoyuki Mogura : There was a time when I made
fake IDs and family registers, too.
(0:23:16.87)
Momoyuki Mogura : But in 1942, I got careless. (0:23:20.71)
Momoyuki Mogura : And that's why it eventually came to me. (0:23:24.29)
Momoyuki Mogura : Can you guess what came to me? (0:23:26.67)
Kuriaki Magi : In 1942? (0:23:28.51)
