Sakurada Reset (Sagrada Reset)

Minami-san?!

Yeah... When I came to, I was like this.

How do you think this happened?

I don't know. Maybe it's your ability?

You do live in Sakurada, after all.

Do you know when you became that way?

I went to the haunted mountain to look for the vampire...

But I can't remember what happened after that.

Asai-kun, you're in the Service Club, right?

Toki no nagareru oto ga ima (feel, close your eyes)

Mirai izanau shirabe (begins today)

Matte iru no wa donna sekai? (Who is calling me?)

Jibun ni toikakete mita (in my heart)

Risou to real no mannaka de (sagashite)

Tokei no hari o ugokashite (ugokashite)

Kanashimi o kesu tame ni (nan do mo)

Kurai kaidan o kakeorite (recreate the past)

Mamoritai mono ga aru (anata o)

Koe ni dashite (try reset again)

Itsuka meguriau

I'm amazed you came here in the middle of the night.

Yeah! I don't remember anything, though!

You sure are cheerful for someone who's just turned into a ghost.

Of course, I am! I mean, I'm a GHOST!

It's fantastic, and it feels "special," doesn't it?!

It's Haruki. Looks like she's here.

Really?! I'll go show her my ghostly self!

Shall I add you to my collection, too?

Are you alone?

Yes. Kei went on a picnic with some girl, so I followed him here.

That must be tough to deal with.

It really is.

We found Minami's body.

Did she die?

She was killed.

The suspect turned himself in this morning.

Name's Ryoji Yoshi. He goes by "Hitsuchi-kun."

Yoshi is an absolute clean-freak, so he can't eat anything.

However, he possesses an ability that allows him to convert information into nourishment.

Yoshi used to suck information directly from the person.

Just a little bit.

It was enough to leave the person out cold for a while.

That's how the rumor of the vampire came to be...

Yoshi created an environment to collect information more safely.

That's Hitsuchi-kun the Informant.

But he ran into some trouble, and that environment was destroyed.

Then, he went back to sucking information directly from people again.

That's what happened last night.

The victim was Mirai Minami.

No matter how much he sucked, for some reason, the amount of information she had wouldn't diminish.

So, Yoshi accidentally ended up sucking too much,

and Minami died along with the information she had.

The ability to die while retaining information...

If you put it another way, it's the ability to turn into a ghost.

Are you going to revive her?

Yeah, I guess.

Minami-san didn't seem that sad.

Actually, she seemed quite ecstatic over becoming a ghost.

The truth is, it doesn't matter what Minami-san is thinking.

She was alive before the reset.

Are you thinking about what happened two years ago?

I can erase whatever I call.

Right hand. Stone.

And?

Right hand. Human body.

I've decided to kill you both.

I'm not sure what to say to such a threat.

I can't accept it.

There's no such thing as a person who accepts a death threat.

Full body. Gravel.

First, she calls what part of her body she wants to activate. Then, she calls the object she'll erase.

While that call is in effect, it's possible for her to reuse a body part.

The new call also retains the previous call's effect.

She's focusing on Haruki?

But she's only coming after me.

This'll be the final blow.

Murase-san, do you know what a MacGuffin is?

How do you know about that?!

I knew it. Yoka Murase and the MacGuffin are connected.

Where is the MacGuffin?

Beats me. I just know its name.

Very well, then.

Is there a time limit for the effects of her ability?

Right hand. Human body.

Begone!

Haruki, reset!

Full body. Ability.

Reset.

It's July 13th, 12:59:15.

Looks like you did reset.

Was it right before we went to the festival?

We still haven't gone to it yet.

I'm glad to hear that.

You liar.

It's discouraging to hear that from a guy.

Haruki.

Um...

You liar?

Hey, not bad!

It'd be best if you say that while giving me a bit more of a fierce look, though.

Kei?

You don't have to do that.

You said the mission was complete, didn't you?

I don't believe I did.

You WILL say that tomorrow.

You think I can take responsibility for what I said in a previous timeline?

What in the world is going on?

Don't worry about it.

Even though Minami-san is dead?

She's alive... in this timeline, at least.

I'll deal with Yoshi.

I was nearly killed by Murase-san.

I'll deal with that, too.

One more thing.

What is a MacGuffin?

A person who possesses the MacGuffin is able to control all the special abilities in Sakurada.

It's an urban legend.

Rumors of it spread about two years ago.

Then, it doesn't exist?

No. An object called "MacGuffin" does exist.

It's a small black stone that's about this big.

Where is it?

The staff room. It's in my desk drawer.

That concludes our discussion. Don't be late to class.

I'm thinking of telling Minami-san about what happened before the reset.

Do whatever you want.

Good morning, Kei!

This time, I've got a message from Friday, July 14th, which is yesterday for you.

I believe you made an important appointment-

Good morning.

Morning.

Nice to meet you, Murase-san.

You don't need to keep up the act.

Why are you here?

Tsushima called me here.

Do you want to kill me?

Why do I have to kill you?

I was just kidding.

That's a sick joke.

She doesn't remember anything from the previous timeline?

By the way, are you done with saving the cat?

I was testing to see if I could cancel out your abilities with mine.

I remember the request I made regarding the cat.

You both aren't a threat.

She remembers things from two timelines ago.

That means that just the reset in the previous timeline was a reset for her.

Why is that?

What do YOU want?

The MacGuffin was stolen.

I'm gonna have you guys get it back.

You were in the Service Club, too, Murase-san?

In name only.

Asai is a guy who gave the Bureau a very hard time these past two years.

He's your senpai.

Is that true?

We should be focusing on the MacGuffin right now, shouldn't we? We have to find the thief.

We have a suspect. The thief is most likely Ryoji Yoshi.

It's Hitsuchi-kun.

Tell me more of what he mentioned earlier about you.

I said something selfish a long time ago. That's all.

What's your objective?

We want to revive a girl.

We're looking for an ability that can make that happen.

I failed in the end.

Are you trying to do the same thing, Murase-san?

I will take down the Bureau... and rebuild it.

There are countless abilities in Sakurada.

If they're used well, people will be even happier.

But those in the Bureau just observe what's going on.

Asai, would you join forces with me?

Let me think about it a little.

First, we need to find Hitsuchi-kun.

That's easy.

Right hand. The thing that is obstructing me from Yoshi.

It's this way.

Wow! So, you can use it like that...

It's strange, isn't it? This is the way to Yoshi's house.

You know where it is?

Yes. I went three days ago.

The hole in the wall...

So, it was actually a mark from Murase-san searching for Hitsuchi-kun.

But...

Hey, Kei. It's been a while.

Or should I say, nice to meet you?

It's the first time I've heard your actual voice, huh, Hitsuchi-kun?

Hey, you! I had quite an ordeal since you disconnected my phone line!

It's your fault! Hand over the MacGuffin!

I can't. I don't have it.

I'll disconnect your phone line again!

Wait. I'm sure he's telling the truth.

Then, who stole it?!

We don't know.

But someone might've picked it up by chance.

You might know that someone, Hitsuchi-kun.

Yeah. In that case, I might know who it is.

She said she'd bring the MacGuffin.

How much of the previous timelines do you know?

Everything you told Tsushima.

I did something really bad.

Even though everything was erased from the reset?
