Men...

--...ko. --Spirit...

...photography?

Yeah.

"Gardening Club Activity Log"

"Gardening Club Activity Log" I borrowed this from Aoi the other day.

Weird photos?

That's right.

I was organizing the gardening club albums...

Oh yeah, that was a thing, wasn't it?

...and... only the photos of you have...

"Crows ate our eggplants." ...and... only the photos of you have...

Wha...?!

What the...?!

"Perfect corn!" "Let's boil it together!" "Yay!" "A great harvest" Yay!

Whoa.

They look like they're having fun.

Yeah.

The actual photos are more funny than creepy,

but ever since I saw them, weird things started happening.

Like what?

They grow.

What grows?

Hands... grow.

They're inconspicuous,

but I catch them growing out of the corner of my eye.

They don't do anything wrong,

--but it bothers me and, and...! --Are you all right?

Ah! Right there!

They're back!

-Mokke, behind you! Behind you!

--Wow, you're right. --Mokke, behind you! Behind you!

What do you want?!

My legs?! You want to grab my legs, right?!

What?!

What evil hands!

I'll make them pay!

Don't worry, Senpai!

I'll exorcise 'em in no time!

K-Kou-kun!

That's a hereditary exorcist for you!

I wonder if he'll be all right.

Hey, hands!

"Arm wrestling"

"Arm wrestling" Take me on!

"Arm wrestling"

"Arm wrestling" Huh? Why arm wrestling?

"Arm wrestling" Beats me.

"Arm wrestling" Maybe he couldn't think of any other way to fight an arm?

Oh?

You accept my challenge, huh?

All right, bring it on!

I'll teach you not to mess with me!

"Bam!" "Twist"

Winner!

"Defeat" Pathetic.

"Defeat" Loser.

What savage evil spirits!

You look like you're having fun, boy.

Oh, look!

The hand disappeared.

Maybe...!

Oh!

"We transplanted blueberries."

"We transplanted blueberries." They're gone from just this one photo!

"We transplanted blueberries." Why?

Maybe they wanted attention?

"Exorcising Lesser Spirits" "Tell me, Hanako-kun"

"Exorcising Lesser Spirits" "Lesser spirit"

"Exorcising Lesser Spirits" "Lesser spirit" Most lesser spirits are satisfied and disappear once you resolve their desires.

"Exorcising Lesser Spirits" "Special thanks: Teru" Most lesser spirits are satisfied and disappear once you resolve their desires.

"Exorcising Lesser Spirits" "Satisfied" Most lesser spirits are satisfied and disappear once you resolve their desires.

Then, to get rid of the hands in these pictures...

Yup.

I think we just have to play with the hands that come out.

I see!

I lost.

I lost to arms.

Kou-kun!

Now we've figured it out, let's all play with the hands together!

"Thunk"

"Thunk" "Thunk"

"Thunk" "Thunk" "Thunk"

"Thunk" "Thunk" "Thunk" Sure!

"Thunk" "Thunk" "Thunk" "Senpai is so cute!"

After that...

"Massage" --Massage. --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Children's songs" --Massage. --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Children's songs" --Grind, grind, grind the paste... --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Manicure" --Grind, grind, grind the paste... --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Manicure" --How am I doing? --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Cat's cradle" --How am I doing? --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Menko" --How am I doing? --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Menko" --Tokyo Tower. --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

"Thumb war" --Tokyo Tower. --...we played and played our way through the countless hands that stood in our way.

Okay, one more to go!

Almost all the photos are cleaned out now.

I'm kind of worn out.

Some of them hit.

Huh?

"We'll raise them with care." Huh?

"We'll raise them with care." Are those junior-high uniforms?

"We got seedlings." Are those junior-high uniforms?

"We got seedlings." They're photos from last year.

Wow.

"The hose came loose." "Hilling complete jump!" Wow.

"The hose came loose." "Hilling complete jump!" You know, they're all pretty well taken.

"The hose came loose." "Hilling complete jump!" Yeah. We got a boy from the photography club to take them for us.

"The hose came loose." "Hilling complete jump!" He won a lot of awards.

"The hose came loose." "Hilling complete jump!" I think his name is on the last page.

"President: Ezuka Shuuji" "Vice President: Miyamachi Haru" "Record Keeper: Akane Aoi" "Photographer: Mitsuba Sousuke"

"President: Ezuka Shuuji" "Vice President: Miyamachi Haru" "Record Keeper: Akane Aoi" "Photographer: Mitsuba Sousuke"

"Mitsuba Sousuke"

What?

Have you decided what you want to--

Come here.

Huh?

--Yashiro! --Senpai?!

H-Hanako-kun.

Grab my hand!

She disappeared?

Where am I...?

Water?! Am I in a Boundary?

H-How did I suddenly end up here?

"Recap" H-How did I suddenly end up here?

"Recap" We played with all the hands and I thought we'd cleaned up the photos,

"Eek!" "Recap" We played with all the hands and I thought we'd cleaned up the photos,

so why did this happen?!

Who's that?

"Shake, shake" Wait, first, let go of me!

Wait, first, let go of me!

He has silky smooth hair and long lashes.

He's...

...handsome!

"Not Nene's Type" "Nene's Type" "The Groupings" Like a prince!

"Not Nene's Type" "Nene's Type" "The Groupings" Hey, you.

Y-Yes?

Aren't your ankles kind of fat?

What are you, a daikon?

Man, what kind of fertilizer does it take to grow these?

What a letdown. I thought someone finally showed up, but it was just a daikon.

I-I am not a daikon!

Wh-What's wrong with you?

First you drag me in here, then you say that out of the blue!

Where is this place? Who are you?!

Hmm...

Follow me.

O-Oh my, he's so bold.

A door?

This is a School Wonder's Boundary.

It's called the Hell of Mirrors apparently,

but I don't know the details.

There are lots of mirrors.

"The Hell of Mirrors."

I've never heard of it.

"Rumor-lover" I bet Aoi would know, though.

I'm Mitsuba.

I was just getting worried because I can't get out of here.

Mitsuba... kun?

Umm, are you a junior-high student?

Are you a ghost?

And... have we met before?

I don't know.

None of that matters now, anyway.

I-I guess not.

We've got to get out of here first.

But how did you bring me here?

I asked them to bring someone to help me.

"Yay!" "We did it!" Yay!

"Yay!" "We did it!" Th-They're certainly lively.

Are these arms your friends, Mitsuba-kun?

What?!

Are you seriously saying someone as cute as me only has arms for friends?!

Someone as cute as me?!

S-Sorry.

Of course not.

They're like accessories for the Wonder.

They're not mine.

I see.

Then, those photos must have had something to do with the Wonder.

More importantly,

I asked for someone to help me, and you showed up.

But... will you help me?

I-I can't say for sure,

but I've been in places like this before,

so I can probably help a little.

I see.

Thank goodness.

Thank you, Senpai.

What's wrong?

N-Nothing! Don't worry about it!

I thought he was weirdly cocky, but I guess he was just scared.

"Like a tiny animal..." "Eep!" "Chomp" I thought he was weirdly cocky, but I guess he was just scared.

I'm sure he's really a nice boy!

Hmm...

Why is he keeping his distance?

I'd like to make the most of this and get to know each other better.
