The first 200 lines.
Rokudou Rinne is given
an invitation by Shinigami Matsugo to attend a Shinigami High School mixer.
It's a spectacular event where
anyone attending the orientation is awarded free Shinigami tools.
This is a good opportunity to end Matsugo's fixation on you.
I'll do my best to pretend to be your girlfriend.
What is it about Mamiya-san that you like?
Mamiya Sakura feeds me a lot.
Sometimes she lends me money.
It's money, huh?
Wait, Mamiya Sakura.
You've got it all wrong.
I'm not angry.
Sakura's Wager
I thought I already knew.
I'm going out with Mamiya Sakura for the money.
Hey, Sakura-sama, he never said it so bluntly.
But that's what he's really thinking, right?
It's okay, though.
I'm just surprised that it bummed me out so much.
Cheer up, Sakura-san.
We have to get back to hunting down Matsugo-kun and your moocher.
Anju-san, what's that?
It's a Seeker Hinotama.
I just need to put in the strand of hair I took from Matsugo-kun.
Seeker Hinotama
A handy Shinigami Tool that automatically chases down
anyone whose hair is burned inside.
Available at a slightly pricey 1850 yen.
Let's go.
But how did you get that?
With this!
A sticky adhesive on the surface picks up lint, dust, and hair.
A handy item from the living world.
And when did you get that?
I'm starting to feel sorry for her.
This is so relaxing.
Oh, dear.
Why are we here?
Where's Matsugo-kun?
I followed the Hinotama.
Why did I end up at his black cat contractor?
Near-perfect Match
Ah, Matsugo-kun and Kuromitsu-san have similar hairstyles.
How dare you abandon your work, black cat contractor!
How rude.
I'm not slacking off.
You were totally chillaxing.
Not at all.
I was standing guard to make sure evil spirits don't interfere with Matsugo-san.
What evil spirit?
There's a beautiful lake all the way up here in the mountains.
Anju-san, who are they?
My, they're examinee spirits.
Why are they here?
It's a spirit leak.
It is indeed.
A spirit leak?
Cleanse
In the afterlife, there is a spirit cleansing room.
It's a facility where unfulfilled spirits
Sullied in Regrets
that have turned evil are brought to be washed clean before being reincarnated.
Clean
Reincarnated
There must be a crack in the washer that's used for cleansing
examinee spirits in bulk.
They'll turn even more evil, if they aren't taken care of.
I'll have to purify them here and now.
You're going to put this ahead of chasing after Rinne-sama and Matsugo?
Obviously.
No wonder you're in the super-elite Shinigami Ichi High School.
Be glad that a super-ace student like me is going to purify you sad souls.
You better be grateful.
We hereby begin the Let's Cheer Up Rokudou Rinne-kun After He Just
Barely Missed the Family Safety Charm Party.
Wait a second.
I'd rather go get the next charm than waste time on this party.
True, you did get the academic success charm,
but the family safety charm was out of stock.
The only one left is the relationship success charm.
However...
I'll make you forget all about the charm.
Soon there'll be high-class Japanese-style French food brought into the room.
A grand guest room with an indoor hot spring!
*Dramatization
And a night-time pillow fight and a lights-out chat.
This secret room will turn our friendship into something immutable!
Something's not right.
Shinigami Matsugo doesn't know how to give people space, because he has no friends.
And I feel like Mamiya Sakura's making some kind of mistake about me.
Matsugo-kun seems wealthier than me.
This is the only charm I picked up.
Maybe I should cherish it, give up on the last charm,
and go back to looking for Mamiya Sakura.
Is that a waterspout coming from the lake?
Calm yourselves!
I'm elite, and I'm offering to save you sad, dumb-dumb failures.
Don't call me dumb!
Only dumb people call people dumb!
I'd feel better for you if you'd at least admit that you're dumb.
That's why you're so stupid.
They've turned evil.
She totally rubbed them the wrong way.
I wonder if she's dumb.
It's dumb and dumber.
Classic textbook case.
You're throwing desks and books at me out of anger.
And now you've run out of things to throw.
Purify!
Take this!
There was some black stuff.
Evil aura?
No.
It's...
Eraser crumbs?!
I'm going to get it all over your hair and clothes!
Feel the suffering that is mild exasperation!
That's a mildly off-putting attack.
Mamiya Sakura!
Are you safe?
Rokudou-kun.
Rinne-sama!
Is it just me, or is Mamiya Sakura happy to see me?
I can't help but feel relieved seeing Rokudou-kun's face.
It's going to be okay now.
She must really count on you, Rokudou-kun.
Y-You think so?
Be careful, Matsugo-kun!
Those examinee spirits turned evil for no apparent reason!
Really?
They're a piece of cake, then.
You can purify all of them using the academic success charm.
Huh?
Did Rokudou-kun just...
Wait a second, moocher, don't tell me you're too cheap to use it!
You are, Rokudou-kun?
O-O-Of course not.
Th-That's i-impossible.
Wait, Rinne-sama's crying blood.
Purify!
Oh well, let's give up on exams.
We tried our best, eh?
Is it just me, or was he really reluctant to use the charm?
It's not just you.
Mamiya Sakura, are you safe?
You didn't have to come.
Why is she so disappointed?
But I used the charm!
Why?
Attention, all students: Relationship success charms at Checkpoint 3 are running out.
Good luck making it to the top.
Did you hear that?
Shouldn't you hurry?
You used up the academic success charm that you worked so hard for.
And the family safety charm was all gone when you got there.
Isn't this your last chance?
Is it just me, or is Mamiya Sakura getting more and more angry?
What's that?
Reidou Fireworks.
Reidou Fireworks open up multiple Reidous per shot.
"The path to the relationship success shrine is closed due to rockfall."
"Please enter the Reidous..."
"...to the shrine."
Lucky!
Another chance to be alone with Rokudou-kun!
Let's hurry, Rokudou-kun!
Why, Rokudou-kun?
They are boyfriend and girlfriend, after all.
They must have really wanted to be alone.
You're horrible, Rinne-sama!
You didn't have to leave me behind!
You, too?
I don't get it.
Why?
Why?!
Why, Rokudou-kun?!
Let me spell it out for you: He wants to be alone with her!
He's not listening.
Hey, Rika-chan, Rokudou-kun's absent again, huh?
I wonder what happened.
He's a bit weird, isn't he?
He has red hair and he wears a track suit.
Speaking of which, Sakura-chan's absent, too.
Oh, yeah.
Huh.
Do you think those two...
What's going on with them?
I'm so curious!
Shoot.
I brought her here because I wanted to be alone with her,
but I don't have a clue what to say to her.
Rokudou-kun.
Wh-What is it?
Don't you have to go get the charm?
Aren't they going to run out?
Mamiya Sakura...
Are you letting me go get the charm?
No, wait.
This is a sweet trap.
