I'll get it!

I heard Nakao was hit by a boat.

Then it's a lie that people won't die if they leave Yomiyama!

Yeah, I guess.

So, we have nowhere to run?

What should we do?

Hey, should we still go on the class trip?

No way!

It makes no sense to go on a class trip in the summer

of a year when it happens.

It'd be safest to stay locked up at home.

Maybe...

Why is this even happening to us?

It's so unfair.

Yeah.

If only that transfer student hadn't spoken to Misaki...

But I...

I protected them.

I left it for them...

...in the classroom.

You girls be careful.

We will.

How did Nakao seem that day?

He had a bad case of car sickness,

and threw up a lot.

Anything else?

Well...

He couldn't swim straight.

I see...

Maybe that's what happened!

What do you mean?

I spoke with Mr. Ohba, a city police detective, about what happened.

And he had a nagging suspicion...

that Nakao may have been dead before the boat hit him.

The condition of his head when he died was inconsistent

with the timing of his collision with the boat.

The herniation caused by a cerebral contusion

had already progressed significantly.

You mean, before he went to the beach?

According to his family,

they heard a loud noise from the stairway that morning.

When they went to check it out,

all they saw was Nakao hurrying out the door.

He must have hit his head then.

Most likely.

So the event that led to his death took place in Yomiyama?

A safe assumption.

When he left Yomiyama without

having his head checked at the hospital,

his death was assured.

Hey, Misaki?

Yes?

Never mind.

I'll say it after I find out for sure.

All right.

Did you find that class photo from 26 years ago?

Not yet.

It's your fault.

It's your fault.

It's your fault.

It's your fault.

It's your fault!

Inoya

The classroom?!

Seriously?

That's what Mr. Matsunaga said.

He must mean the class 3 homeroom in the old school building.

But what did he hide there?

All right, well, at least we've got the location.

I'll just...

Wait.

I don't want to tell anyone else.

Why not?

If Nakao hadn't gone to the beach,

he probably wouldn't have died.

Still...

I don't want to get anyone else involved.

I don't want anyone else to die.

We shouldn't tell Akazawa or the countermeasures committee just yet.

If we find something,

and if we need their help at that point, then we can.

Makes sense.

I wouldn't want to see Akazawa die.

So, when should we go to the old building?

We can't go right now?

I have plans with my family this evening.

Tomorrow would work.

Then, how about first thing in the morning?

Come on, anything but morning!

All right, then... noon?

A lot of club members will be around then.

And since the second floor is barricaded...

Then... evening?

Hard to look for stuff at night.

Fine, 3 o'clock it is.

-Okay. -Works for me.

Mochizuki, the art club meets in that building, right?

Yeah.

Do any club members come in over summer break?

No, never.

Then we can meet in the club room?

Sure!

I have a key,

and no one would question me being there.

Teshigawara, please don't show up dressed like that.

Huh? Why not?

You'll stand out.

That's the price of being fashionable!

Hey, do I spy Kouichi and Teshy?

What's the go-home club's ace doing at school?

Nothing special.

We're meeting up with Mochizuki.

You two here for club stuff?

We wanted to see Mr. Chibiki about something.

In the auxiliary library?

Not for that.

Mr. Chibiki is the drama club's advisor.

No way!

The guy who wears nothing but black?

That's surprising.

He actually gives pretty solid acting advice.

And he looks sort of cool when he's acting. It's fascinating.

So?

Why exactly are you here?

We're looking for a clue to stopping the calamity.

We don't know what it is,

but if we do find it, we intend to tell everyone else about it.

Seriously?

Something like that exists?

We want to stop the class 3 calamity ourselves, if we can.

You guys wanna come along?

Hey!

I'll pass.

Me, too.

Goodbye, Kouichi.

Later.

Bye.

Misaki!

Where's Mochizuki?

I don't know.

I just got here.

Why are you here?

I had nothing to do,

and I didn't want to stay at home,

so I thought I'd come in and draw.

Oh.

What about you?

And Mochizuki's coming, too?

What brings you three here?

Well...

I guess you could call it... exploring?

Sorry I'm late!

And where do you plan to explore?

Uh...

Well, Teshigawara said we should meet up here...

No, I...

Um, that's it!

Sakaki said he had to look for something!

It's sort of important.
