Episode 3

Narration: My name is Shinoyama Izumi, and I'm a third year student at Kourin Academy University. In order to save a badly injured acquaintance who was near death, I performed a magic ceremony with my friends Nagi, Riku and Touko. But it was a forbidden spell. There are seven more parts to the curse. And today again, a new disaster will visit us.
Riku: I wonder what Sensei wants.
Izumi: He said he had information that would shock us.
Riku: At this point, nothing would shock me.
Nagi: Exactly. So what about the curse. There are seven parts left, right? That's nothing.
Riku: Wow! I wonder what they're doing?
Nagi: Sensei. what are you doing here?
Photo Sensei: Oh, ---- it's for the popular actress, Shimano Eriko-san
Eriko: How long are you planning to make me wait?
Guy: I'm sorry. Please just wait a little-
Eriko: Ah! Don't come near me! you smell...
Riku: That's goman tte kanji...
Nagi: Well, you know how popular talents are... Compared to THAT, it makes me feel sorry for her...
Riku: Sugimura Shiori, huh?
Nagi: Even though in the past they were part of the 'Taka Nitorio', and were both just as popular....
Shiori: Eriko-san?
Eriko: What?
Shiori: It seems as though Sayaka-san is dead. They say she was killed in an explosion.
Eriko: Oh, what a shame. The five of the Taka Nitorio have died, and now I'm the only one left... Oh, I'm sorry, you're still alive, aren't you?

Eriko: We won't be able to meet anymore, will we?
Riku: It's this kind of show? I didn't think they had to kill her off, but...
Nagi: Wait a minute, this...
Izumi: Are you okay?
Riku: Yeah.
Chief: Is it just a coincidence that two of the former Taka Nitorio were killed on the same day?
Takatori: Both the criminals are dead, but there are some similarities...
What, you guys again?
Riku: We just happened to be passing though.
Takatori: Wherever you guys go, there's always an incident. I can't believe it's just a coincidence...Are you three....extras?
Nagi: Right. Exactly. We're not just hanging around here. (?)
Takatori: Alright already. I got it.
Nagi: Hey, is this one of the disasters?
Riku: What? But the people who've been killed have nothing to do with us.
Chief: It's not my responsibility to give you info. Please leave.
Nameko: It's so sad...You see, I was the teacher of the Taka Nitorio....
Chief: You're coming with me!
Newsmen: It's Shiori-san! Shiori-san! Please give us a comment!
Takatori: What is it?
Nameko: Shiori-san! It will be all right. I, Nameko Yoshitake (?) is by your side.
Chief: Call the fire dpt!
Sensei: What are you doing? If you want to be a pro, don't miss a chance like this.
Some one: This isn't just a coincidence.
Journalist: You're Imai Touko-san, right? This is my card.
Card: Daily Globe
Musou -----
Journalist
Journalist: Take a look at this. You were really famous as the genius psychic girl. Back then, you were much sought after by the media. But you let them down with a sudden shocking confession. 'I lied. I don't have any psychic powers.' And they blasted you as a fake and a liar. But...even now I don't believe it. That your powers were a lie. What's the truth?
Headlines: 'I lied. I don't have any psychic powers.' 'Her psychic powers were a hoax.' 'Her parents, ----zai. 'We believed our daughter...'
Touko: If I had powers, you'd be the last person I'd tell.
Journalist: I'll get the bill. (?)
Dambala: Even if none of you have an interest in my class, you're interested in astrology, right? Izumi, when's your birthday?
Izumi: Nov. 11th.
Dambala: You're a Scorpio, in the water sphere. Nagi, yours?
Nagi: Feb. third
Dambala: The wind sphere, and Aquarius. Riku?
Riku: May 5th Dambala: A Taurus, in the earth sphere. And Imai Touko's birthday is Aug. 15th. A Leo in the fire sphere. Well, do you get it? The four of you match the four elements, and...
Hina: Wait. Answer their question first.
Dambala: Question?
Hina: Izumi-san and the others ran into that actress incident, and they want to know if it's part of the 9 disasters.
Izumi: Sensei, please answer.
Dambala: We'll think about that after. First, listen to what I have to say. Try to remember when you did the ceremony.
Hina: Sorry about him. He doesn't listen.
Dambala: Did the four of you sit in this position? Hmm? And surprisingly, this position is the position of the four elements in the magic square. And connected to those elements is... Nagi, you, lined up with the element wind have the power of the wind. The power to know the happening of the future, which are carried by the wind. In other words, Pre-graphy. Riku, you, in the sphere of the earth have the power of earth. All of the events of the past are written on the earth. You have the power to read those currents. In other words, psychometry. And Imai Touko has the power of fire. The power of passion burning deep within her heart. psychokinesis. Well, do you get it?
Nagi: Not really, but what about Izumi?
Riku: right. Doesn't that mean Izumi has the power of water? But she doesn't have any power.
Dambala: Has anything happened?
Nagi: Cheer up! You gotta be kidding..
Riku: We'll be okay. It's you're fault
Izumi: No.. Dambala: Why! Was I wrong!?
Headlines: Tradgedy in broad daylight for the Former Taka nitorio 'Sugimura Shiori targeted as well.'
Nagi: Was there a connection between the criminal killed Tokuro Sayaka and the one that killed Shimano Eriko?
Takatori: Nope. There was no connection between them at all. I mean, unless you count that fact that neither of them got out alive. (?) Bar guy: So, what about between the two idols?
Takatori: No connection. Other than that they were idols, women, maybe that they both being filmed for TV when they were killed.
Izumi: Have you found who the man who targeted Sugimura Shiori with the bomb?
Takatori: Not yet, we're searching for them.
Izumi: but mightn't she be targeted again?
Takatori: Sempai's guarding her.
Nagi: Nameko-san is?
Riku: Will she be okay?
Takatori: Yeah...I'm a little worried too....Hey, what's with you three? Why are you so interested in this incident? It doesn't have anything to do with you guys.
Izumi: Right, it doesn't...
Shiori: I'm sorry to put you to such inconvenience.
Nameko: Please don't worry about it. I'm just doing my duty as a policeman.
Shiori: Thank you.
Nameko: It's no trouble at all. Really.
Shiori: Um, what would you like for dinner? I'll make it for you.
Nameko: Oh, no no no! Please don't trouble yourself! I'm on a diet, anyway...
Oh, I read this. It's unforgivable. All they do is print lies! Shiori-san, I know your true fans understand you. Are you okay?
Shiori: It's been such a long time since anyone's said something so nice to me..I was so happy...
Nameko: If they're anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.
Headline: 'That famous person is doing this...'
The ---- Psychic girl T-ko is even now ------, living a wild life, too horrid to watch, and ---- with men.
Reporter: Wait, Imai-san! Imai Touko-san! You're Imai Touko, right? I'd like to have word with you...Can you still use your psychic powers? Was it true what's written in the Daily Globe?
Touko: Please move! Please move!
Reporter: Please, just give us a small comment.
Touko: Leave me alone!
Touko: It wasn't me! It's wasn't me! It wasn't me!!
Touko: Hello? Caller 1: Is this Imai Touko? This is the Daytime...
Answering Machine: This is the Imai residence. I've stepped out for a moment. Please live a message.
Caller 2: This is a neighbor. All of these reporters and such, it really is a bother. Please do something about it.
Answering Machine: This is the Imai residence. I've stepped out for a moment. Please live a message.
Caller 3: Touko? Are you there?
Touko: Mom?
Touko's mother: Oh, you were there. How much of a nuisance do you have to cause me until you're satisfied? I'm cutting our ties. Don't bother be anymore. I'm embarrassed that I gave birth to a child like you. Are you listening to me, Touko?
Touko: It wasn't like I wanted to be born!!

Riku: Wow, I'm surprised. I never thought she was that kind of girl...
Izumi: Riku..do you believe this paper?
Riku: Well, there's no smoke without fire...
Izumi: That's not true. This paper is all lies.
Riku: How do you know? 'Because we're friends'? Don't be so corny...
Nagi: Well it si true we don't know anything about her. She could be just like it says in the article. Sensei...are we still linked to this girl?
Dambala: Are you going to believe this tabloid, or me? You have to decided for yourselves! Izumi: Let's go...
Dambala: Haha...isn't it obvious?
Nameko: Huh? Touko-san? I saw that paper. It's horrible. But I don't take any notice to it.
Shiori: That paper's all lies.
Nameko: You know her of course, right? The popular actress Sugimura Shiori. I'm body guarding her now.
Shiori: Touko-san, cheer up. I know that someone who understands you will show up. So let's both do our best.
Nameko: Right. It's just as Shiori-san says.

Landlady: Are you Imai-san's friends?
Izumi: yeah...
Landlady: Then would you please tell her I've had complaints from the other tenants, and it's been quite difficult. That's be a big help.

Izumi: Touko...! Wait! Wait a minute!
Touko: Do you have a problem?
Nagi: A.h!!
Riku: It'll tip over at this rate!
Nagi: What should we do? What can we do? Hey, can't you do something? Can't you save it with you powers? Hey, are you listening? You can twist spoon, can't you? You have psychic powers, don't you?
Riku: that's just a waste of time.
]Izumi: Riku!
Nagi: Are you okay, Riku? Riku: Yeah. I didn't want that puppy to drown. (?)
Nagi: thank goodness.
Riku: Izumi...I can't really believe that that girl is our destined companion.
Nagi: Me neither.
Shiori: How does it taste?
Nameko: It's delicious. The best. Shiori-san, aren't you having any?
Shiori: No...ow...
Nameko: What is it?
Shiori: It's nothing..,
Nameko: Yes it is. You're bleeding. Where are the band-aids?
Shiori (mouthing): Lick it...
I wonder who is could be?
Nameko: Please wait here. I'll go see.
Oh, you're that...
Shiori: Oh, what is it, Misawa-san? He's always so nice to me.
Nameko: Yes, I remember him from the crime scene.
Shiori: Are those for me? Thank you. Misawa: Please cheer up.
Shiori: Yes.
Misawa: Well then.
Nameko: Do you like roses?
Shiori: Very much.
Police: Are you Imai Touko? Would you come with us to the station please? (?)
Policeman 1: You know who this is, don't you? This man wrote mean articles about you, and you wanted revenge. So you visited him last night.
Policeman 2: Another resident saw you leaving him apartment!!
PM!: You gave him a visit, didn't you?
Touko: Yes. But I didn't kill him. I simply went to say a word of complaint.
PM!: then one word became two, and then two words became three, and finally you laid your hands on him!
Touko: That's not true!
POLICEMAN 2: Don't ----!!
PM!: It must be just as this article says. Your psychic powers come out when you get excited, don't they, T-k.-san? Just now, you reflected this ashtray with your powers, because you got excited. And this is how you killed him.
Touko: I didn't!
PM!: See, you got excited and it flew through the air. If you continue to resist us, then I've got to choice but to...
Izumi: Is it true that Touko was arrested?
Dambala: yes. The college was notified this morning.
Hina: If someone wrote this kind of thing about me, I'd want to kill them too...
Izumi: Wait...do you think that Touko would murder someone?
Nagi: I think she may not be the kind of person you think she is, Izumi.
Riku: Sorry, but I don't believe in her.
Nagi: From the evidence, she's nothing but a murderer.
Izumi: Well fine...
Dambala: Izumi...

Takatori: She -----?
Izumi: yeah
Takatori: She killed that journalist huh? There was some bad stuff written about her...
Izumi: That stuff isn't true, and besides... I know that she wouldn't kill anyone.
Takatori: What's your basis?
. Izumi: Huh?
Takatori: What's the reason you say that? Why do you believe it?
Izumi: I...Because she's my friend. Takatori: I thought that all of the college girls were -------- And that they would care about things like that. But, isn't it fine? People that spew that kind of corny stuff. Friend, huh? that has a nice ring to it. Let's go.
PM!: Imai Touko is being interrogated right now, but what connection do you have with her, Officer?
Takatori: I'm an acquaintance of hers.
PM!: So?
Takatori: So I was wondering if I could have a word with her.
PM!: The series of events you're investigating isn't solved yet right? I wonder if you should just be hanging around here like this?
Izumi: What do we do?
Takatori: She wasn't the only one who wanted revenge on the victim. We'll check up on them first. Izumi: Will it be okay for you to get involved like that?
Takatori: You know...if you were gonna be worried about that, you shouldn't have asked me in the first place.
Nameko: Coming! Oh, Takatori, what is it?
Takatori: Sempai, what's with those clothes?
Nameko: Does it matter? I'm body guarding, plain clothes are best.
Shiori: Yoshitake-san?
Takatori: Wait, Sempai...
Nameko: ------Come outside.
Nameko: Shiori'-san's alibi?
Takatori: Yeah. She also had a grudge against Musou.
Nameko: Don't say stupid things! Shiori-san isn't the type to hold a grudge like that. And as for her alibi for last night, it's solid. I was with her the whole night.
Takatori: I see...
Nameko: Mor importantly, what are you doing, Takatori? It's not your job to find out what happened with Musou!
Izumi: I'm sorry. Since Touko was arrested, I forced him to-
Takatori: You shut up!
Nameko: I see. So it's that kind of thing. Takatori, listen closely! Being distracted by women ruins the work of a policeman! Never forget that you are a policeman!
Takatori: yes, sir.
Nameko: Now, go back to the station!
Izumi: I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Why don't be call it quits?
Takatori: Are you giving up? Is this how far your friendship goes?
Izumi: No it's not!

Takatori: Touko is innocent after all! --------- In other words, Musou was still alive when Touko returned home.
Izumi: Touko!
PM!: I had no choice, she used her psychic powers, and she was out of control.
Izumi: Don't talk rubbish!
Takatori: Calm down!
Izumi: Let go of me!
Takatori: I said calm down!
PM!: Girls nowadays are so violent....
Takatori: You bastard...
Takatori: So are you calm now?
Izumi: Are you hungry, Touko?
Takatori: Man, I'm starving...Let's all go get something to eat.
Izumi: Alright! You're paying, right Takatori-san?
Takatori: Wait...you...I just did this and this for you. Don't misunderstand me...
Izumi: Hey, Touko....
Touko: Don't fawn all over me! I've always lived on my own! No matter what happened, no matter what other people thought of me, no matter how hard it was, I've always gotten through on my own! So, I'll continue to do that on my own.
Nameko: What are you looking at?
Shiori: I was just thinking, you look like you're enjoying it. Thank you. By the way, what happened to that girl, Touko I think her name was...
Nameko: Oh, she's been released. One of my men took my advice and was able to verify her alibi.
Shiori: Oh? That's great.
Nameko: You really are a sweet person aren't you?
Touko: Who are you!?
Misawa: You have to die to cover Shiori-san's crimes! I feel so bad for Shiori-san...no one tries to understand her, no one tries to see how wonderful she is. So she's always been a lone, and in pain. I'll do anything for Shiori-san. It was me that killed Musou. I killed him for Shiori-san. More importantly, die instead of Shiori-san!
Takatori: Stop!!
Izumi: Touko! Are you okay?
Takatori: Come here, that's dangerous!
Misawa: No..no...
Takatori: You idiot!
Takatori: It could be anything, Try to think of a hint as to why that man went after you, please.
Izumi: Touko....
Touko: Can you leave? I'm tired.
Nagi: How is she?
Riku: She's always worrying people...Let's go home
Nagi: Right.
Chief: the dead man is Misawa Masaru, 24 yrs old, single. He was an assistant at the tv station, and apparently very serious about his work. And also, the flashlight he had is the one that killed Musou.
Takatori: So..he killed Musou?
Chief: Well, it looks like this case is closed. It looks like it doesn't have anything to do with the idol incident.
Takatori: I think it may.
Chief: What do you mean?
Takatori: the men that killed those idols, and the man that killed Musou were of the same type. I have a feeling someone may be manipulating them.
Chief: Why do you think so?
. Takatori: Just a hunch as a policemen.
Chief: Well, that doesn't count for much...
Hina: It seems like Papa's lost confidence in his theory.
Riku: well, he has been totally wrong so far...
Izumi: I wonder why Touko didn't use her psychic powers when she was attacked?
Riku: Will you shut about her?
Nagi: Sensei will prove for us soon that she's not our ally.
Izumi: I wonder if Touko really can use Psychic powers?
Riku: enough already!
Takatori: Where is she? Did Imai Touko come here?
Riku: She didn't...
Takatori: She's disappeared from the hospital. There are too many mysteries still in this case, it's dangerous for her to be alone. Contact me if she comes here
> Riku: what a pain...
Izumi: Maybe Touko figured something out about the incidents, and hid it from us...
Nagi: For what reason? I just can't understand that girl...
Riku: Why don't we just forget about her.
Nagi: Sensei, she's not our ally, right?
Dambala: I don't know. ------ My theory may be right, and it may not be...
Riku: Well, which is it? Make a clear decision!
Dambala: I don't know... Izumi: It doesn't matter whether which is true! Can you all just leave Touko? Can you just abandon her? Well, I can't!
Riku: He said that someone might be manipulating the criminals, right? I saw it...someone giving the gun to Abe...
Nagi: Maybe they'll show something.
What? What is this?
Riku: What's he doing?
Nagi: Where is that?
Izumi: The roof of Sugimura Shiori's apartment!
Dambala: This proves it. My theory was correct.
Hina: Heh...you just keep going back and forth...
Shiori: Oh...
Touko: can I have a word with you?
Shiori: Yes...
Nameko: Who was it?
Shiori: ------ I'm going out for a little.
Nameko: Wait, where are you going?
Shiori: If anything happens, I''ll call you, so come okay?
Nameko: I'll come right away.
Shiori: Protect me...
Shiori: What did you wish to discuss?
Touko: I heard everything from the dead man, Misawa.
Shiori: Oh? He talked to much...and the other two went quietly for me...
Guy: Die!!
Touko: Why did you do this?
Shiori: Oh...I'm sure you understand...You who have to live alone, like me... All those people who become more famous than me, even though they couldn't sing well, all those people who got so stuck up and treated me like dirt... I couldn't forgive them. It's not my fault. It's the fault of this society! Right, isn't that so? It's the fault of the people who made me alone, it's the fault of the people who didn't try to understand me!
Touko: Is that all you have to say?
You're blaming everything on others! What gave you the right to do that?
Shiori: That's too bad,,,I guess I was wrong...
Yoshitake-san! She's trying to kill me! Hurry, come to the rooftop!
Funny isn't it? I'm such a good actress, but I never get any roles...
Nameko: Shiori-san!
Shiori: Save me!
Nameko: Why are you trying to do this to Shiori-san!?
Shiori: Shoot her! Shoot that woman!
Izumi: Touko!
Riku: What are you doing, fatso! --------
Shiori: Just do it!
Come on out. You can't run anymore. You're going to be shot by this fat cop, Nameko Yoshitake.
Riku: Hey...do something! Can't you make something fall on her with your powers? (?)
Nagi: Yeah! You have to try!
Izumi: Touko....
Touko: I can't use it...if it's not to protect you three...
Izumi: Could it be... you can't use it?
Touko: If I could, I'd knock that woman down in a second!
Riku: But...before, you...
Touko: Stop!
Izumi: Maybe that was because we were in danger. Maybe she can't use it unless it's for our sake.
Touko: It seems that way.
Riku: We didn't know...
Nagi: Is that how it was?
Shiori: Come out! If you don't, I'm coming for you.
Nagi: what do we do? Izumi: Touko..protect me, okay?
Touko: What are you planning to do?
Izumi: If we're in danger you can use your power, right? I"m going to jump out.
Touko: Don't!! If I fail...
Izumi: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Nagi: ------
Riku: We believe in you. Because we're friends, right?
Shiori: Well? What are you going to do?
Touko: Stop!!
Nagi: Nameko-san!
Nameko: Help me! It hurts!
Riku: You fatso...Go on a diet!
Nameko: I am!
Thank you so much....

Riku: What's up?
Izumi: This is your house, Riku?
Riku: Yeah. Can't you guys leave in a place like this?
Nagi: What's your father do?
Riku: he's on a trip to America.
Nagi: No, what's his job?
Riku: He's a doctor. He owns 36 hospitals.
Nagi & Izumi: We can believe it...
Nameko: Won't you all help too?
Well, I'm going to bring in some more boxes now...
Touko: He's pretty good for his age. (?)
Izumi: Touko!
Touko: Wow, this is pretty fancy....
Riku:Well, it used to be a love hotel, so...
Izumi, Nagi and Touko: What?
Riku: I'm just pulling your leg.
Takatori: So the four of them are living together now?
Dambala: Well, until the end of summer vacation.
Takatori: Sounds like a lot of fun...
Dambala: If you'd like, how about living with them?
Takatori: What? Can I really?
Dambala: It was a joke.
Takatori: Oh, right....
Well, I guess I'll be going....
She used that cute face to get all those guys to do what she wanted...
Dambala: Venus...?
