Note: Sentences in italics are thoughts.
Izumi: Good Morning....
Izumi: Sensei?
Man: So , We find the forth one.
Nagi: Izumi!
Man: Now were going to beat you all to death one after the other! So, who goes
first?
Takatori: Dont move! You bastards, this is as far as it goes!
Nameko: Just go peacefully!
Takatori: You bastards! ------
Nameko: My stomach hurts! Hold on a second...
Riku: This is your fault.
Nagi: Its because of the curse you got us under.
Izumi: But the curse is over...
Riku: The curse aint over yet!
Man: Stop youre whining! So, who should we off first?
Nagi: Its your fault.
Riku: Take responsibility for it.
Man: All right then, its unanimous...
Izumi: No!
Kid: Sensei! Nap time is over!
Izumi: Oh no...did everyone have a good sleep?
Other teacher: You had a good sleep too, didnt you?
Izumi: Yes. Im sorry...
Yes yes! Im coming!
There, there. What is it?
Baby: Breast...
Izumi: Breast, right? Just hold on a sec, okay? Milk...milk...
Teacher: Its wonderful that you can tell what a baby wants just by its crying.
Izumi: Its nothing like that...the baby talked.
Teacher: What are you talking about? This baby cant talk yet.
Izumi: Oh, right.
Teacher: More importantly, be careful to keep your eyes on the children, what with all
those kidnappings lately. They still havent found the criminal.
Izumi: Yes, maam.
Guy: Oh, I know this girl. She came here all the time with her father. According to the
papers, the only one of the three kidnapped children returned was the one whose father
paid the ransom without notifying the police. -------------
Photo Sensei: To search for a scoop rather than playing it safe. Thats a short cut to being
a pro.
Nagi: Yes, sir.
Sign: Psychic Girl Touko Imai
Guy: Shes done it. Lets have a big round of applause!!
Touko: Move...
Guy: This is the third victim! Therell be more victims with the police are involved!
Nameko: Takatori!
Man: Mayumi-chan, the oldest daughter of Sakaga Minori.
Chief: Theres something weird written on her neck.
Man: It appears to be lipstick.
Nameko: When was the ransom supposed to be delivered?
Man: Tonight at 8 p.m..
Sensei: In your long lives, there will be mountains and there will be valleys. Think of the
misfortunes youre dealing with as a test to be thankful for, and accept them. You
understand, right?
Hina: Isnt it a little risky?
Sensei: Oh, I see. Is it risky? It might put them into shock.
Hina: The kidnapped childrens parents were a doctor, a politician, a lawyer...it seems
like a college teacher could be in there as well.
Sensei: Now, theres no need to get all wordy about it...
Hina: It is risky, after all. I mean, Im the daughter of a very smart college teacher. And
Im cute too.
Sensei: As we sit here like this, a disaster may be befalling them even now.
Hina: But maybe its okay. After all, Papa has no money, and his wife left him.
Sensei: In other words, I just have to tell them.
Hina: Ohhh...it is risky!
Sensei: Thats right, Hina!
Hina: What do we do, Papa?
Sensei: Sit down.
Hina: Im already sitting down, but...
Sensei: Right now, its just you and me. When I speak, you listen. This is an important
rule of society. If you dont obey it, Ill have to punish you.
Hina: So thats why Mama left...
Sensei: Did she say that?
Hina: Well, she might have if the topic had come up.
Sensei: ---- According to this book, eight disasters will befall them. Its written that
theyll continue for three months. How in the world do I explain this to them?
Hina: Rather than worrying about something unimportant like that, what about worrying
about the eight disasters that will soon befall you?
Sensei: Eight disasters?
Hina: Divorce, arbitration, trial, ----,----,-----, a lonely -----
Sensei: And?
Hina: Youre daughter running away from home.
Sensei: Running away from home? Wait...
Hina: It was a joke.
Sensei: A joke. Oh...
Hina: Hello? Its Hina. Im coming now, so wait for me, okay? Huh? No way! What
happened? Okay, well, Ill be waiting, so come as soon as you can, okay?
Takatori: Is your mom doing well?
Takashi: Yeah.
Takatori: See, shes getting better, just like I said. Got it? Now, get along with you.
Takatori: You know about the kidnapping cases right?
Izumi: Yeah.
Takatori: Tell the kids to be careful if any strange man comes up to them.
Izumi: Right.
Takatori: And of course any strange women too. See ya.
Izumi: Hes hard at work.
Riku: Wacha lookinEat? A boyfriend.
Nagi: I wish it was...
Riku: So what is it?
Nagi: Yeah. So, where were you going? The professors office?
Riku: Yeah. I saw something weird again.
Nagi: Yeah?
Riku: Yeah. Even though the curse is over... Anyhow, it was pretty freaky, so I thought
Id go and talk to Sensei about it.
Nagi: Yeah?
Riku: And its finally summer vacation too....This sucks.
Nagi: Yeah.
Riku: Whats up? Youve been acting kinda weird.
Nagi: Yeah? Huh? Isnt that Hina-chans?
Sensei: In your long life, there will be mountains, and there will be valleys....
Riku: Good Morning!
Nagi: Good Morning!
Sensei: Oh, Good Morning. Please sit down for a moment.
Nagi: Were already sitting down, but...
Sensei: In your long life, there will be mountains and there will be valleys. Think of the
misfortunes youre dealing with...
Nagi: Oh, right. We found this lying in the road. Its Hina-chans right?
Sensei: Right. These are the Print Club stickers I made her pay for.
Riku: You made her pay for them? Jeez....
Sensei: So, what about it?
Riku: Maybe she threw it away because she didnt like the Print Club stickers.
Sensei: No, the pictures didnt come out bad at all.
Sensei: This is the folklore office.
Phone: Is Dambala-sensei in?
Sensei: This is he.
Phone: Weve taken your daughter. If you dont want her to be killed, please prepare one
hundred million yen by tonight.
Sensei: Hina! Hina!
Phone: You will be contacted later as to where to bring the money. Dont notify the
police. Youre daughter is alive at the moment, but... Please do as we say.
Sensei: Wait!
Nagi: Sensei, was Hina kidnapped?
Riku: You should notify the police!
Sensei: No! Everyone whose parents notified the police was killed! Do you want Hina to
die!?
Riku: Ah...why is all this trouble happening now...?
Sensei: Its all your fault! This is all because of your curse!
Nagi: But the curse is over, isnt it?
Sensei: Eight disasters! There are still eight disasters left to come! This isnt the time to
speak of that. Hina!
Riku: Hold on a second. What do you mean, eight!?
Riku: ...a van...black...Hina-chan...
Sensei: What?
Riku: Hina-chan was taken away!
Nagi: By a black van?
Sensei: Where to?
Riku: I dont know that much.
Nagi: Here?
Riku: Right! Thats the van! Where did you...?
Nagi: I dont know! I took a picture of something completely different, but this came up.
Riku: So, you too are still...
Sensei: Theres no mistake. This is the place! The -----
Riku: This is the ----, and this is Hina-chan.
Sensei: The ----, lets go! Hina! Hina!
Riku: Sensei!
Nagi: Riku, what should we do?
Riku: Touko...Touko Imai. Maybe she can do something for us.
Person: Phone.
Touko: Yes?
Nagi: Touko-san, because of us, someone may be killed.
Riku: Will she come?
Nagi: I dont know. I really dont understand her at all.
Sensei: I dont know where the ------ is!?
Nagi: This is it! Theres no mistaking it!
Sensei: Hina! Hina! Hina!
Riku: Hes going in the front? Jeez....
Sensei: Hina! Oh!
Nagi: Isnt this kind of risky?
Riku: Well be fine.
Riku: Ow!
Riku: Nagi?
Nagi: What?
Riku: Are you worried about the size of your butt?
Nagi: Huh? Jeez...
Nagi and Riku: Ahhhh!!
Sensei: Riku, Nagi! Hina!
Sensei: All right. I havent notified the police. And Ill find some way to get the one
million yen, so...
Touko: Move...
Touko: Its not working....
Nagi: Someone help!!
Sensei: This is the police! Open up!
Sensei: Hina! Hang in there! Hina!
Hina: Huh? Papa?
Sensei: Whats this?
Nagi: Maybe it means she was the fourth victim?
Riku: Wow, that was close...
Sensei: No, this...
Hina: Hey, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? Youre giving me
the creeps...
Sensei: Here, just let me...
Hina: Stop!
Riku: Well look who just showed up...
Chief: Hold on a moment please. So its involved, again...
Sensei: Again, you mean the other had this as well?
Chief: Yes. I wonder what it could mean...
Takatori: You guys again?
Touko: I just happened to be called here by those two. Ive got nothing to do with it.
Takatori: So, it seems like you girls located this place...
Riku: Yeah, well...
Nameko: How did you know where to go?
Riku: We just had an intuition.
Takatori: Do you have any intuition as to the criminal?
Riku: One was a woman, but...
Nagi: We couldnt see very well.
Nameko: At any rate, it was quite a feat. Its wonderful. You have our thanks.
(note: He made a pun. The word for intuitionEis kanE and the word for thanksEis E#060;I>
kanshaE)
Izumi: I see. So thats what happened? So what can it mean, Hina-chan being kid napped
all of a sudden?
Riku: It wasnt all of a sudden.
Izumi: Huh?
Nagi: He says the curse isnt over yet.
Izumi: Huh?
Nagi: Sensei...
Sensei: It says here, (reads Latin). Basically, it means that there are eight disasters in all,
and they will continue for three moon, in other words, three months.
Izumi: So was this another disaster?
Sensei: Well, it could be just a coincidence, but we have to consider that as a
possibility.
Riku: Before you were yelling at us that it was our fault.
Sensei: Oh...dont worry about that.
Riku: I am worried about it.
Izumi: I...its all my fault.
Sensei: No, after all, I was the one who showed you all the book. We cant just put the
blame on Izumi.
Nagi: Right, Izumi. Dont let it get you down. Cheer up.
Nagi: You gotta be kidding....
Riku: Right. Things will get better.
Riku: Its your fault.
Sensei: Right. During this difficult time, the four of you have to join together.
Izumi: Fine. Ill go do something myself.
Sensei: Hey, Izumi...
Riku: Whats with her?
Nagi: Beats me.
Touko: Maybe there was some hypocrisy in your words...
Riku: What?
Sensei: Whats happened to all of you?
Riku: Its all your fault.
Nagi: You gotta be kidding...
Baby: Breast...
Girl: Hey, what do you think youre doing?!
Boyfriend: Lets go.
Chief: Well, nothing yet? Lets make one final investigation.
Takatori: All right. Sempai, please ----. And try to be especially careful with that couple.
Id like you two to come with me. What are you doing here?
Izumi: Have you found the criminal yet?
Takatori: This is nothing for you to stick your nose into. Youre a nuisance. Go
home.
Guy: Ill kill that girl.E This is personnel only. Excuse me.
Nameko: Thats Officer Yoshimiya. Is he your type, Izumi-san? He certainly may be
good looking, but after all, what makes a man is whats inside. Also, he has a girlfriend, a
long haired woman. I on the other hand, dont. You dont have a boyfriend, right
Izumi-san?
Takatori: I thought I told you you were getting in our way.
Izumi: Hey, investigate that Yoshimiya guy. Hes suspicious. He may be the
criminal.
Takatori: What are you talking about?
Izumi: And his girlfriend too. Believe me, hes weird!
Takatori: The one thats weird is you! Go home!
Shimamura: Takatori-san.
Takatori: Oh, thanks.
Shimamura: Who is that?
Takatori: Oh, her, shes a friend of the two women that helped us with the last
kidnapping case. ------
Shimamura: I thought I heard her say something about the criminal...
Takatori: Oh no, please dont worry about that. -----
Shimamura: But, she may know something...
Shimamura: Please wait a moment. Im Shimamura from ----. I overheard your
conversation with Officer Takatori. Do you know something about the criminal?
Izumi: Yes. Um...please investigate Officer Yoshimiya.
Shimamura: Yoshimiya?
Izumi: He may be the criminal. And his girlfriend too.
Shimamura: Why do you think so?
Izumi: I...
Shimamura: Did you friends say something?
Izumi: Uh...sort of...
Shimamura: I see....
Izumi: Please hurry and arrest him. If you dont, someone else may die...
Shimamura: Understood. Ill investigate him.
Izumi: Please.
Nagi: So, Izumi went to the crime scene?
Nameko: Yeah. Oh, can I have another pilaf? Without oil, Im on a diet.
Riku: One pilaf.
Nameko: No oil, please.
Nameko and Riku: Im (Hes) on a diet.
Nagi: So, why was Izumi there?
Nameko: Beats me.
Riku: I wonder what she went there to do? She said shed do something by herself.
Nagi: She did, didnt she.
Riku: Well, theres nothing we can do about it. You have to reap one you sow, after
all.
Nagi: Right.
Nameko: Beans?
Shimamura: Forgive me for interrupting your work.
Izumi: Thats all right. How is it going?
Shimamura: Its a pity, but, Takatori and Nameko are investigating Yoshimiyas
apartment now.
Izumi: So it was that policeman, after all...
Shimamura: He hasnt been seen since last night. He must have realized that we were on
to him and fled.
Nameko: I cant believe hes a policeman like us...What a nice place...Wow, he even has
one of these...-----...Oh....Hey Takatori, whats this!? Hey...so it was him...
Nameko: Takatori!
Takatori: Senpai! Lets start investigating Yoshimiya!
Nameko: Right!
Radio: .....The police officer, Manabu Yoshimiya is suspected of being the killer in the
series of kidnapping cases....
Izumi: I knew it...
Shimamura: Why.... How could this happen?
Izumi: I wonder if Riku and Nagi are okay...
Shimamura: Im going to contact Takatori, so please call your friends.
Izumi: Yes.
Nagi: Its already 2, if I went there now, thered only be 30 minutes left...(?)
Photo guy: Kousawa! More light!
Nagi: Yes, sir! Theres no way I can do it. Besides, Im at working now. You have to
explain why.
Riku: Right now? I cant. The restaurants getting really crowded now.
Guy: Welcome.
Riku: Oh, welcome! Im hanging up, okay.
Izumi: Wait! Please come!
Riku: Jeez.....
Shimamura: The police will stake out the apartment, and arrest him there. Id like the
three of you to stay hidden.
Izumi: Yes, sir.
Hina: Hey, can I go out to play somewhere?
Sensei: No. If you leave me, another disaster might befall you. From now on, you and I
are one flesh. We will live, and die together.
Hina: Aww....
Sensei: Ah...
Hina: Here you go.
Touko: Thank you.
Sensei: So what did you want to discuss?
Sensei: Go...
Hina: But, you said we were one flesh...
Sensei: Just leave the room.
Hina: Im going to tell Mama on you...
Sensei: Youre meeting Mama? When?
Hina: What time is it?
Sensei: Huh? Excuse me.... So...
Touko: Its about those girls strange powers.
Sensei: Oh, how they can see the past and future....
Touko: What do you make of it, Sensei?
Sensei: As I said yesterday, I cant say for sure yet, but...Imai-kun...perhaps it is the same
kind of power as yours. To protect themselves from the curse, their latent psychic
powers...
Touko: Were awakened...
Sensei: Imai-kun, they may have the same power as you. But, how do we explain Izumi?
She doesnt seem to have any power...
Touko: I wonder...
Sensei: Hmm?
Touko: Maybe we just havent noticed it...
Shimamura: It will be all right. Just leave it to us.
Ill kill the three of them en masse.
Shimamura: What is it?
Izumi: No, nothing....um...Please take care of it...
Shimamura: When I kill them, it will be the end.
Sensei: If there is some power hiding in Izumi, then that would mean that all four of you
have psychic powers. Did the four of you meet by simple coincidence? No, it wasnt
coincidence...
Touko: It was destiny.
Sensei: Thats right. Destiny. Imai-kun, your power existed for this day, so the four of
you could join your powers and fight!
Shimamura: Are you all right?
Izumi: Yes...
Riku: Izumis late...
Nagi: I wonder what she wants...
Riku: Hello, Izumi? Hello?
Nagi: What is it?
Riku: It seems like someones there, but....
Izumi: So, where are we going now?
Shimamura: Its an apartment in Shibaura.
Izumi: Where exactly in Shibaura?
Shimamura: Its near Tetsudouro...
Riku: Hello? Hello?
Shimamura: Because you never know who might be watching...
Izumi: So you were an accomplice....
Shimamura: An accomplice? I wish you wouldnt lump me together with him.
I told you he was hidden away somewhere right? He is. Inside the trunk. Ill take the
responsibility of talking to your friends later.
Sensei: The four of you, with your special powers came together, led by destiny.
Nagi: You havent heard from Izumi or anything, right?
Sensei: Did anything happen?
Nagi: She told us to come meet her, and then she never showed up.
Riku: And we got a weird phone call from her too.
Takatori: Oh great, youre here. Id like you two to take a look at these. Do you
remember if the man who came after you was wearing them?
Nameko: They belong to a policeman named Yoshimiya.
Nagi: What did he look like again?
Riku: I dont remember....
Takatori: What is it?
Sensei: Are you okay? Is it one of your usual headaches? Just calm down. What did you
see?
Riku: He was...strangled...
Sensei: The man to whom these sunglasses belong may have been murdered.
Nameko: Yoshimiya?
Sensei: Right.
Takatori: Hey, wheres that Izumi girl? She told me that Yoshimiya was suspicious.
Maybe she knows something.
Nagi: Something happened to Izumi... That phone call we got earlier! Maybe she was
trying to tell us something!
Takatori: Phone call?
Riku: She said she was going to Shibaura. She was with a man.
Nagi: Maybe something will show up again!
Nameko: What?
Sensei: Hmm...Youre much too busy to have time to listen to the explanation for this.
And if you had such good minds that could accept this story, you wouldnt have become
policemen.
Nagi: Its...Izumi!
Takatori: This match...it belongs to Officer Shimamura!
Nameko: Mr. Shimamura?
Takatori: Hey! Is she with Officer Shimamura now?! Where is she!? Where are they
going!?
Nagi: Where? I dont...
Takatori: Remember! Shes in danger! Shimamura and Yoshimiya are
accomplices!!
Sensei: We dont know where they are, but we do know that she is with that man now.
Takatori: They said Shibaura, right?
Riku: Yeah.
Nagi: An apartment.
Takatori: Ah...its there! Shoma----
Nameko: Thats it. Takatori, lets go!
Takatori: Sempai, ------
Nameko: Right.
Nagi: This happened because Izumi tried to resolve it with her own power, by
herself...
Riku: Its all our fault.
Nagi: Lets go too!
Sensei: Dont do anything stupid. To be run out into danger this way..you four really are
led by destiny. Are you going with them?
Touko: Sorry, but it looks like Ive lost the ability to use my psychic powers. Im
different from them. I wonder if this is destiny too...
Izumi: Why? Why did you do those things?
Shimamura: Deep inside their hearts, everyone is dirty. But they can cover it up with
beautiful lies. Isnt that wonderful?
Izumi: Whats wonderful about that?
Shimamura: Maybe you dont understand. If you see completely into peoples hearts, its
sad, and painful, and lonely, and you cease to be able to live.
Izumi: I can see inside peoples hearts.
Shimamura: What?
Izumi: But Ive got no choice but to believe in everyone and keep on living!
Riku: Stop here!
Nagi: What is it? Its Izumis...
Shimamura: I cant let you live.
Nagi: Izumi!
Izumi: No! Dont come!
Izumi: Nagi, Riku...
Nagi: What should we do?
Riku: Run, obviously...
Shimamura: Thats as far as it goes. Now, who should I start with?
Izumi: Run! Hurry!
Nagi: What are you talking about?
Riku: Yeah.
Shimamura: So, what will you do? How about running? Its a perfect chance, shes
letting you get away with hypocrisy.
Izumi: Just go! Hurry!
Shimamura: Oh yes. If you dont hurry, she might change her mind.
Riku: We cant run away and leave you here alone!
Nagi: How about shooting us all together?!
Shimamura: What a beautiful friendship.
Touko: Stop!
Shimamura: Do you want to die with them too?
Touko: Please...fall over...
Izumi: Touko, run!!
Touko: STOP!
Takatori: Shimamura!! I knew it... This place is flammable! You bastard, this is
dangerous...
Takatori: I told you not to stick your neck into it. Be more careful from now on. And Ill
be careful to listen to what people tell me, too.
Izumi: Here...thank you.
Takatori: Well then...
Izumi: Touko-san, thank you.
Touko: I didnt do it for you. Im not naive like other people.
Riku: Whats with that? And you even thanked her. Dont be such a nuisance to
people...Dont worry us so much...
Nagi: Dont go around alone trying to make yourself look cool. After all, were
friends, arent we?
Riku: Hey...thats going just a little too far...
Nagi: Youre the one that went too far....
Riku: I didnt say anything that big...
Nagi: Well, I just said what I was thinking...
Riku: What?!
Izumi: Lets go.
Riku and Nagi: Hey, hey....
Riku: Whats with her, she doesnt understand at all..
Izumi: Just as you say. I dont understand anything at all.
Voice: Good work.
Takatori: Sempai, why do you think he did all that?
Nameko: Because he was cracked?
Takatori: But why was he, I wonder?
Nameko: ------. Well, in this world, some people ------------. Of course, you wouldnt
understand, but...Takatori!!
Sensei: This is....those four....could this have been destiny too? But, if this is true, then...it
cant be, that they....
To be continued....
