Oh my, that smells delicious.

Mommy!

It's yummy!

Daddy...

Mommy...

Kotarou.

Why don't we eat together again?

Yeah.

President! Good news!

What is it?

Episode 4: "Until We Return to Those Days"

I met someone who seems knowledgeable about unidentified mysterious animals!

And?

Come on. Please give me a slightly happier reaction!

He seems like the real deal!

Even if that were true, why would it make me happy?

Haroken! Haroken!

Wouldn't it only benefit you, and no one else?

No! Th-That's not it at all!

I-I'm doing all this for the occult research club's benefit!

You lose!

Darn.

Got it.

So, where is this elderly gentleman?

There's supposed to be a ramen stand somewhere around here.

Don't see one.

Aren't stands only around at night?

You could be right.

If only Shizuru were here.

She's apparently a regular.

Damn. I can't get through to her at all.

Do you know anything, Class Rep?

Shizuru may not look it, but she's a busy girl.

Come to think of it, she did say she had other things to do.

On that note,

if Shizuru isn't here, I'll take my leave.

Wait, um, we have club activities, you know?

I've had enough of this.

Come to me once you've found that elderly gentleman or whatever.

Okay...

No way that happened.

I'm pretty sure he said something about an antiques shop.

Watch where you're walking.

Don't you have eyes?

I-I'm sorry.

You...

What's your name?

It's Tennouji.

Tennouji-kun, huh?

Wow, so you are living as an everyday student.

Um, what is it?

Oh, there's a bunch of show-off brats around here,

so you should be careful.

Right... Thank you.

Oh, I should've asked that guy if he knew about the shop.

Wow. He just warned me about this, too.

What school you from, punk?

I'm from Kaza High...

Kazamatsuri?

That uniform! Yoshino-san's place, eh?

Yoshino?

Do you mean Yoshino Haruhiko?

That's Yoshino-san to you, ya loser!

He's the king!

King?

That guy's the slum king!

These rotten, mangy slums used to be ruled by drugs and violence,

but he transformed them into a den of wolves with his fists alone.

Seriously?

That Yoshino?

How d'ya know the king?

We're just buddies...

Buddies?

With the king?

Countin' on ya.

Sorry to make you go out of your way for a kid like me.

Don't sweat it. I'm a first-year,

so if you're the same age as the king, I'm a year younger.

What?!

This guy's younger than me?!

That's the biggest shock today!

Damn it.

I feel like I wasted my time buttering him up.

What's up, bro? Helluva scary face you got there.

How long 'til you find it?

I can't wait around forever.

Your attitude changed awfully quick.

That shop over there is probably the one you're after.

You're life savers.

No problem.

If you're the king's buddy, then you're also a wolf.

We of the Wolf Pack will gladly help you out anytime.

Welcome.

Oh, it's you.

Hello.

I'm surprised you found this place.

I forgot to give you my business card before.

I made good use of my connections and sleuthing skills.

Shizuru!

Kotarou!

This is where you were?

I called your cell but couldn't get through to you at all.

Sorry.

I'd kept it turned off to save on electricity costs.

What's the point of having a cell phone, then?

By the way,

you two seem to be rather close for students in different years.

When did you two get to know each other?

Oh, well...

That was...

Going to a committee meeting?

I was just about to head out myself. Want to go together?

What's your name?

Shizuru.

I'm Tennouji the Hero.

Hero-senpai?

Kotarou.

Kotarou.

Where's your meeting?

The Disciplay Committee!

It was a perfectly ordinary encounter.

What is it?!

Hey, stop, stop! Stop it!

By the way, Tennouji-kun, was it?

Why did you come here?

For what we talked about before!

Tell me about the unidentified animals your friend saw a long time ago!

Oh, that's right.

Very well.

They're out of focus, so it's hard to tell.

They could just be wild animals, but here they look like mysterious creatures.

They're different from the ones I saw.

And, about this next photo...

I'm glad you found these useful.

This is awesome, really.

Good for you, Kotarou.

Now you're one step closer to the president's bosom.

What does she mean, "bosom"?

Sh-She means in a romantic sense!

Oh, right. Tennouji-kun.

Please take my card.

Pratfall!

Esaka Sougen

I Don't Intend to See Your Filthy Mug Ever Again

Is something the matter?

Oh, no!

It's a lovely card!

It's five million for one.

Could you please pay up?

Huh?

Er...

Why?!

Who would pay such a fortune for

scrap paper?!

Um, the coffee was delicious.

Come by anytime you like.

I'd be delighted to have a young customer.

Kotarou, motivating yourself is good,

but your obsession with breasts will disturb public order.

You make it sound like I'm only working hard for the breasts.

You're not?

Hold on.

I got a huge haul again today.

What's that for?

Gonna feed it to pigeons or something?

I'm going to eat it.

Is that any good?

It's not bad if you know how to use it.

What is it this time?

CDs in cart

Listen to those nostalgic tunes one more time!

All 100 yen!!

It's a second-hand shop.

Please look!

A plethora of photos which close in on the mysteries of Kazamatsuri!

I hear photos like these were all the rage a while ago.

Let's investigate them!

No. I feel like my kill count is going to go up today.

What about club activities...

Kotarou!

The CD I bought for you yesterday?

What CD is that?

Touka's favorite songs.

Who's Touka?

Shizuru-chan!

Nishikujou-sensei?

I can't listen to it.

What? Is the disc scratched up?

I don't have a player.

Oh...

Why not just go buy one, then?

Hey, rich girl.

You buy one for her, then.

Why do I have to buy her one?

It is true that Chihaya-san's family is well off,

but she has a limited monthly allowance, Dimwitarou-kun.

You're hanging around the clubroom like it's natural now, huh?

Can't you work it out somehow, Tennouji?

I wonder if there are any spare players around?

Oh, I do have one at my house.
