And so, I knocked out the boards on the roof in one shot! Then, I peeled the boards off the ceiling like this in one go!

Then what, you ask? And guess what happened?

There were hundreds of talismans stuck to the bottom of the roof. Hundreds of talismans were pasted underneath the boards!

Um, sir...

I'm going home. I have to go back now.

I have a lot of work to do. I have a lot of work piled up.

Why? Really?

I'm almost to the good part. I was just getting to the good part.

The secret of the red face peeking into the room... The identity of the bright red face that was peeking into the room.

You don't want to hear it? Don't you want to hear about it?

You'll have to excuse me. Please excuse me.

Hey, Maya-chan... H-Hey, Maya-chan!

That was a great bath. That was relaxing!

Hey, Ami. Oh, Ami.

I've got watermelon here. I got some watermelon.

Awesome! No way!

Man, the best part of summer is eating watermelon on the porch. Summer is all about eating watermelon on the porch.

Hey, about Maya-chan...

Is she doing all right? Is she doing okay?

Yeah.

I think I understand now. So that's what happened?

Yeah, I thought something was up. It felt like something was off.

She's probably eating alone right now.

Okay, then. That decides it! Alright! I've made up my mind!

Kuroki Ami INCOMING VOICE CALL

Hello?

Tomorrow?

Excuse us. Please excuse us!

Welcome! Oh, welcome!

Wow! Incredible!

My dad made them himself. Daddy made them.

They might not look it, but they're delicious. They taste better than they look!

Eat up. C'mon, let's chow down!

Your dad's working on a Sunday? Your dad works even on Sundays?

Sorry about the noise... Sorry about the noise outside.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

You haven't changed a bit. Things haven't changed much, have they?

How nostalgic.

Hey, I know! Oh yeah!

What was Maya like in elementary school? What was Maya-san like back in elementary school?

What's this about? Why bring that up all of a sudden?

When you go to a friend's house for the first time in years, you have to talk about the old days! When you visit an old friend's house after such a long time, you have to talk about the olden days!

I've got something interesting here. I have something good for you.

Read this essay and you'll learn what kind of kid she was. You'll know exactly the kind of girl she was just from reading this essay.

No! Don't! S-Stop that!

Catch!

Got it! Goal!

Wait, Ami! Hey, Ami!

Now, Kozue! Now's the chance, Kozue!

"What I want to be when I grow up," "My Dream of the Future"

by Kumashiro Maya, Class 3-1." Kumashiro Maya, 3rd Grade, Section 2.

"When I grow up, I want to go to Loch Ness in England and catch Nessie"?! "It is my dream to go to a country called England and catch Nessie the Loch Ness monster"?!

Great, huh? It's too awesome, right?

When she was a kid, Maya-san loved the occult! Maya loved the occult when she was young!

I was just ignorant. Because I didn't know any better.

Even a kid who doesn't know any will eventually grow up. A little kid lacking sense and judgment has to grow up sometime.

I dunno... Really?

You should see what she wrote when she was in fifth grade. This anthology from 5th grade is amazing too.

I'm going to have aliens take me to Zeta Reticuli? "I'm going to get aliens to take me to Zeta Reticuli"?!

Don't read anymore! Stop reading that!

Hey Kozue, in this one, Maya...

They're having a lot of fun. They sure are having fun. Hey Kozue, in this one, Maya...

They're having a lot of fun. They sure are having fun.

I have to keep working hard, too. I'm going to do my best, too!

I'm amazed you can eat so much. It's amazing how you can eat that much.

But, uh... Rather,

Why does a place like this have pudding, anyway? Why does a restaurant like this even have pudding?

And you always get the same thing. You always get the same thing too.

I like this. Because I like this dish.

And I like pudding!

Yo. Hi!

Welcome, Sensei.

Huh? Go Yuri!

Y-You guys... You two...

Here's your usual. Here's the usual.

And a bonus. On the house!

Thanks so much. Thanks, as always.

Not at all. No problem!

Do you want it? Want it?

Yahoo!

You're still going at it. You're insatiable.

But wow, you guys are close. You two are really close.

You're together on your day off. You even hang out together on holidays.

We have a part-time job together. We have the same part-time job.

Let's eat. Thanks for the food!

Next up is a crop circle found in Matsushiro, Nagano. Coming up is a mystery circle that was discovered in the Matsushiro district of Nagano. A mystery circle appears!! Is it a message from aliens?!

That's filthy! That's disgusting, you ass!

Stop it! Stop! Oh please stop!

Crop circle? Mystery circle?

As of last night, nothing unusual was seen, There have been no signs of unusual activity since last night.

which means that some party must have created it between sundown and early morning today. This could only mean that someone made it sometime between last night and early this morning.

Prefectural police are investigating it as some kind of foul trick. The prefecture police are investigating the possibility of this being a malicious prank.

Look! It's a real crop circle! Check it out! It's a real-life mystery circle!

Why are you taking it seriously? Why are you taking this so seriously?

Even the news says it's fake. Even the news report said it's a prank.

Sorry. I gotta go. Sorry. I just remembered something.

Maya...

Maya-san?

I'm heading out. I have to go.

I'll come by again sometime. Let's do this again sometime.

You're leaving already?

Yes. Goodbye. Thanks for the hospitality.

Hello?

Yeah, I saw it.

What do you think?

It's gotta be something! Do you have to ask? Of course something's up.

Okay. I'll see you there. Bye. We'll talk about the rest at the site.

Get in, Maya-chan.

Sir!

We're all going to see the crop circle. We're all going to go see the mystery circle!

Quit draggin' yer feet. Stop dilly-dallying.

You gettin' in or not? You gonna get in or not?

What's wrong, Maya?

What do you mean? What?

This crop circle thing is totally occult stuff. A mystery circle is utterly occult.

Is it okay for us to be riding in the bed of a pickup truck? Never mind that. Is it really okay for us to be riding in the back of a truck?

Now's not the time for that! This isn't the time for that!

A crop circle awaits! The mystery circle awaits us.

All right then! Floor it, Daddy! In that case, full speed ahead, Daddy!

I'm on it! You got it! Leave it to me!

Look at the crowd! There's a ton of people!

Well? How does it look?

Another failure. Still not the one.

It's too soon to give up. It's too early to give up.

The UFO or alien that made it might be the Key. The UFO or alien that made that could be the Key.

You're right. Oh, good point.

The circle appeared between last night and this morning. The circle was made between last night and early this morning.

If a UFO's going to appear, that's when it would. If the UFO appears again, it will probably be around that time.

Let's stake it out, starting tonight.

What?

Oh... I was thinking you're being really helpful today. Well, I just thought that you're unexpectedly cooperative today.

Not really. I'm not... No... Not really...

Is something wrong? Did something happen?

It's nothing.

What are you doing around here? Why are you guys loitering here?

That teacher asked us to show him the way. That teacher asked us to show him the way here.

All right. Well, anyhow...

There's still something I want you to do. I have a job for you two.

Hang around until I call you. I'll contact you later, so just kill some time around here until then.

I'm tired. Oh come on, I'm tired...

No whining! Quit yer bellyaching!

Get going! Yes 'sir!

Okay!

Then tonight... We can meet here, huh? See you tonight. Can we meet here?

Yeah. As for the time... Yeah. The time...

How about 10:00? How about ten o'clock?

You're going to eat dinner now, right? We're going home for dinner now, right?

Then you can eat watermelon! After that we'll have watermelon!

And then fireworks! And light fireworks!

You guys aren't gonna... You two... Aren't...

Of course, we're coming with you. We're coming too, of course!

You can't really think we'd let you keep something this fun to yourself. It's no fair if only you two get to have all the fun.

You need some parental supervision. A guardian will accompany you.

I guess we have no choice. I guess we don't have a choice.

Let's eat!

Eat up!

I love meat. Hot!

Why am I here? Why am I here too?

Tamaya!

Kagiya!

Aw, Dad, stop screwing around. Daddy, stop messing around!

They all fell asleep. Everyone fell asleep.

I'll wake 'em up when it's time. So? I'll wake 'em up when it's time.

Yeah.

I didn't think Maya would be this interested in the crop circle. Still, I can't believe Maya reacted to the mystery circle like that.

It means she's still Maya-chan, even after all that's happened. It just means that even after all that's happened, Maya-chan's still the little girl we knew.

Yeah.

Hey, Dad.

Thanks

for doing all this for Maya. For being so kind to Maya.

Aw, stop it.

Can it still take photos when it's this dark? Can this still take good pictures even when it's so dark?

Have some faith in the technology of the future. Have a some faith in the future's technology!

H-Huh?

Some future technology. So much for future technology.

Oh, right.

It's got a light for times like this. It's supposed to have a light for times like this...

Um, which button was it?

See?

It does have a light! It lit up.

Th-There it is! It appeared!

You idiot!

Take a photo of this, too! You take pictures of it too!

R-Right! O-Oh yeah.

It vanished...

Over there! Look over there!

How'd it move so quickly? It got that far in an instant!

Hurry!

We'll lose it! We're gonna lose sight of it!

Damn it. Shit.

You suck. You're useless.

Why are you taking pictures of the sky? What are you gonna do with pictures of the sky?

When there's this much shaking, I can't do it right! It's impossible with all this shaking!

See? You see?

Slow down a bit. Sir, could you slow down a bit?

Dad, go right! Daddy, turn right!

Got it!

It's the middle of the night! Floor it! Floor it!

There aren't gonna be any other cars out here, so go as fast as you can! There's no way any other cars are out this late anyway.

Right! Got it!

A-Ami-san's personality suddenly changed! A-A-Ami-san has turned into a completely different person!

Go! Go!

Stop it! No! Stop!

It's fine. It's alright!

My dad's the best driver in the country. Dad is the best driver in Japan.

Floor it, Daddy!

Right.

No!

Go! Go!

Left there. Turn left there!

Okay! Got it!

It's flying toward the academy. It's headed towards the academy.

Maybe it really is the Key of Nostradamus this time. Could it really be Nostradamus' Key this time?

Father Pastures

Where are we? Father Pastures

What? It's just a cow.

You scare too easily.

I'm a city slicker! I'm from the city!

What is it this time?

What?

Is it dead?

This is...

What?

All the blood's been drained from its body. It looks like all the blood's been drained from it.

Is that... Then could it be...

Cattle mutilation.

Is this an alien's doing, too? Is this the work of an alien, too?

There it is! It appeared!

Look! Something's coming out.

A Grey!

A photo! Take a picture!

Wait a second! Hold on a sec!

That's not like any alien I've seen! That's different from the aliens I've seen!

Just do it! Whatever, just hurry!

What's wrong? Well?

I forgot to think about destroying it.

What are you doing? What's wrong with you?

That guy... This guy is...

J.K.? JK?!

Th-They found out...

Wait a second. Wait.

Oh, crap! Shit.

Stop it! Quit it!

A balloon... Paper... mache...?

That's not it. It's not that one...

What is he doing? What the hell is he doing?

Those screw-ups... Those clumsy...

Dad...

Kuroki's dad put you up to this? Kuroki's dad asked you to do this?

And the crop circle too? The mystery circle too?

Basically... Well...

Yeah.

Then it was all fake... Then it was all a prank.

What is this? What?

Dad, were you tricking us? You tricked us, dad?

Sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. Sorry. I didn't have any ill intentions.

Then why do it? Then why'd you do it?

I just wanted to see Maya-chan smiling and having fun. You know, I... just wanted to see Maya-chan's smiling face.

Like she used to. Just like old times.

And then what happened?

And then...

An old lady, wearing nothing but snowshoes, came out from behind the telephone pole. From behind the telephone pole, an old woman appeared, wearing only sandals...

Like this!

I heard you hate the occult now. I heard that you hate the occult now.

Since your father died so suddenly, I understand that your father died suddenly,

and you started a new job as principal, it's been hard for you, and that your new job as principal is tough.

but the Maya-chan I knew couldn't change that easily. But I thought that there's no way Maya-chan would change so easily.

I'm sure she's forcing herself. I'm sure she's just forcing herself.

But even so... Daddy... Even so

Do you think it's acceptable to do something like this?! Do you really think it's ok to do something like this?

As an adult, aren't you embarrassed? As an adult, aren't you ashamed of yourself?

We're serious about this!

We... We don't have time to be wasting on tricks– W-We don't have time for such childish

Don't be mean to my father like that! Don't just trample my dad's feelings!

If you hate them, then spend the rest of your life hating them! If you hate it that much... go ahead and hate it for the rest of your life!

Ami.

The occult! And my dad! The occult! And your father!

Ami!

What?!

Apologize to Maya-chan.

Wait! H-Hey!

Wait, Ami-san! Wait for me! Ami-san!

I'm sorry.

You thought it was the Key. You thought it was the Key, right?

I kind of did, yeah. Yeah, I kind of did.

So did I. Me too.

I thought we might be able to change the future,

but...

...all of it was just for me. For someone like me...

There's a world that shines for you alone. kimidake no tame hikaru sekai

It's where I am. koko ni aru yo

I tightly held onto it with my small hands osanai te de nigiri shimeteta

so I'd never lose it. nakusanai you gyutto

We chased after a blank wish, masshiro na negai wo kimi to oikakete

wandering into a white maze on a silent night. mata mayoi komu sabishige na yoru dakara

Fading shadows of those memorable days slowly returned from our memories. ano hi no omokage wo mitsukete omoidasu yo

With you by my side, I can put on a smile kimi ga iru kara doko de datte

no matter where I am, even if I fall. nando koronde mo waraeru

Coincidence and fate mean nothing. guuzen da to ka hitsuzen da to ka

We're strong without them. iranai hodo tsuyoku

The memory shines so vividly, kitto kagayaku omoide nara

but it only resides with you, kimi no sobani dake aru kara

so I'll never let go of my one precious world. taisetsu na sekai hanasanai yo

Why do I have to do the preview?

It's your turn. Because it's your turn.

You do it. You're the star, right? Do it yourself. You're the main character, right?

No whining. Do it. Stop whining and do

No. No way.

I won't let anyone say mean things about my dad. I'll never forgive anyone who insults daddy.

Calm down, you two. Have some of this. Now, now you two. Let's eat this and make up, shall we?

What are you eating, Kozue?

Oh this? It's a– This stuff? It's

Kozue!
