Please, set him free.
Three times...
Zen...
What are you doing over there?
Zen...
I thought you left.
Don't look at him!
That makes...
...three times.
Seriously, what is all this about?
She really is a weird kid...
I survived!
Hey!
There you are!
H-Hana-chan! This is a hospital. Keep it down.
Wh-What're you guys doing here?
Hana-chan wanted to come check up on Sensei.
Right, then! How're you doing, Sensei?
You're...
Miki Tanaka? Or is it Mika?
Hana Yurikawa.
I said I'd be fine on my own.
Why'd you say that?
See? You're crying! So you were worried about him!
No, that's not why I'm...
Sensei! I'm glad you're okay and everything,
but please be more careful!
I'm glad you saved that kitty, but you can't die in front of a student!
He's not dead, though.
Miko's been super down ever since your accident.
What if she ends up traumatized 'cause she just happened to be there?
It wasn't a coincidence that I was there...
She's so worried about me.
So next time you wanna do something nice, check your surroundings first!
H-Hana, you're here to check up on him, not berate him.
But he made you cry!
I'm not crying because of the accident.
He did something else?!
N-No, that's not what I meant!
I can't say I get what's going on...
...but I'm sorry to make you worry.
Like I said before, I should've known better.
You did nothing wrong.
I'll be okay.
All the spirits haunting him...
...are disappearing.
Is it because his mother's gone?
Or because of Hana's aura?
Whoa, look! That cloud looks so yummy!
They say spirits haunt those who sympathize with them.
Maybe the reason there were so many around him
is 'cause he naturally attracts them, but not like Hana-chan does.
S-Sorry about the other day.
Oh, right, Hana doesn't know anything!
You're keeping all this a secret from Hana-chan, right?
Yeah.
It'd just end up scaring her.
Hey!
Wanna go get some butt buns?
Were you inspired by the clouds?
Yup!
C'mon, let's go, or they'll all sell out!
Butt-what?
You're coming, too, Yulia-chan!
O-Okay!
"One Week Later"
Nekomaru!
Uh... are you sure?
Yes. Just ignore what's going on back there.
--Nekomaru! --That's enough, now.
Please take care of him.
Thank you. I will.
--Nekomaru! I'll miss you!
--Let's go, Mocha. --Nekomaru! I'll miss you!
Nekomaru!
"Steabucks"
Wow, so Zen-sensei's gonna take care of him!
Yeah. His apartment doesn't allow pets, so he's going to move.
Aww, true love!
I can't picture him getting all lovey-dovey over a cat.
Same.
He's got a friend who's a vet who'll take care of him in the meanwhile.
Wait, Zen-sensei has friends?
I said the same thing.
I mean, he's kind of awkward, kind of creepy, you know?
Now you're being too blunt.
Sure, but you were scared of him, too, weren't you?
Yeah.
But I think it'll be fine now.
"Toono"
Please, set him free.
I wonder what that was all about.
Good morning, Zen-kun!
I brought you some more stew!
I just keep making too much.
Zen-kun?
"Set myself free..."
Maybe she meant I should be more honest.
Goodness, this is new!
You don't need to keep doing this.
Huh?
I've been meaning to tell you,
I hate eating food that someone else has made.
It makes me sick to my stomach. What if your hair fell in it?
And I hate getting other people's containers.
They smell like everything they've ever held.
Wait, Zen--
Thank you for thinking of me. Also, I'm moving soon.
--What? --Good day.
How did he catch on?
I hid them in there real good, too...
Oh, hey, did you invite Yulia-chan to My Nearby Tororo 2?
I was gonna, but I decided not to.
Why?
She shouldn't see the second one if she hasn't seen the first one!
Why are you so weirdly uptight about that?
I'm doing her a favor! We can watch the first one together later.
Shoot, we're short on time!
Wait, really?
We gotta go! They're gonna run out of butter caramel popcorn!
--That's your worry? --Hurry, hurry!
C'mon, Miko!
Coming.
"My Nearby Tororo"
That was incredible...
Hana-chan and Miko must have already headed to the theater...
Oh, Godmother...
I wonder what she's up to right now.
Hey, Mom, a letter came for you.
A letter? From who?
Don't know--there's no return address.
Huh?
G-Goodness gracious!
Their faces are covered, but I can tell from the auras.
Those have to be those same girls.
Mom?
Don't be scared.
I just wanna grab one of your eyes...
Found you.
What? The hell are--
There we go.
Hope they find him.
Yeah. Time for patrol, though. Let's go.
"Missing Person" On it.
"Missing Person"
Ooh, look! New Lamrab merch!
This expression is so cute!
I can't tell what's different about it.
Ugh, fine. This is the old one, and this is the new one! See?
Nope. Looks the same.
Let's close out the day with homeroom. Sit down, everyone.
Arai-sensei had her baby today.
We're gonna change diapers for her!
--Yep. --Zen-sensei!
Let's go visit her and the baby together!
That's all for homeroom. See you all tomorrow. Dismissed.
He ignored me?! And he didn't use my name today.
Sorry, hon.
So I bent down to pick it up, but it wasn't a butt bun, it was a rock!
Would you really have eaten it off the floor if it was?
What? Of course.
Hold on, are you serio--
What's up? Forget something?
No.
So anyway, I picked up that rock...
Should I go thank them for saving me?
--The more I stared at it, the more I thought it was one, so I brought--
--Hey, Hana? --The more I stared at it, the more I thought it was one, so I brought--
What's a good shrine offering?
Shrine offering? I like sweet dango!
They're not for you.
How are those characters read?
This place was scary before, but I had Hana with me then...
It's way scarier now that I'm here alone.
I'll say my thanks and go.
I-I'm fine.
As long as I give them my offering and show gratitude...
I'll be fine.
Th-There we go.
Thank you so much for rescuing me.
Wh-What?
Th-Then how about...
There.
They should...
Wh-What? Should I have gotten something more expensive?
Ah, wait...
Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Th-They came closer! Wh-Wha--?!
Huh?
Wh-Why is it... getting worse?!
I don't know what to do!
I-I should run!
Huh?
Wh-Why?
Why is this...
H-Hold on, hold on!
Oh jeez, oh jeez!
H-Hold on...
I-I'm not...
D-Don't...!
J-Just a dream?
You were talking in your sleep again. Are you having dirty dreams?
Wh-What?! No!
I'm so glad that was just a dream.
But if I'm dreaming about it,
maybe they want me to go thank them?
Hey, Sis, Danger Scare's on tonight.
Oh, really?
It's totally not scary, and I could so watch it on my own,
but do you wanna watch together?
Sure.
Breakfast's ready. Come down or you'll be late.
I'm off to school!
Take care, and don't be out too late!
I can still see scary monsters.
No way.
Whaddya think?
Oh em gee!
It's gotten easier to ignore them.
Can you see me?
But there's so much I still don't know.
I don't know why I suddenly started seeing them,
Morning!
or why I see what I see.
Still...
I do know...
...I should face them head-on!
Morning!
Morning, Hana.
Huh? What's up, Miko?
Nothing's up.
You sure?
--'Cause you seem so chill today! --G-Good morning, guys.
Yulia-chan! Morning!
Hey, let's all hit up Mrs. D's today!
Again, Hana?
Can't breathe.
Oh, c'mon!
Wait, or we could go get butt buns.
Since they were all sold out the other day!
I'll let you pick.
Thinking about food's gotten me hungry again!
Glad I got me some melon bread!
Did you have second breakfast today?
I sure did!
You sure are a glutton.
Hey! I told you to call me a big eater!
Good. Next up is... Yamamoto-san.
Sensei, we don't have a Yamamoto.
Then... Yurikawa-san.
Hana, that's you!
Hey, I heard there's some scary show on TV tonight.
Danger Scare, right? You gonna watch?
Heck no! I'll end up barfing up my borscht again!
Seriously, what is with you and borscht?
She might have more spiritual power than me,
but I'm not gonna let her beat me in physical fortitude!
Yes!
Yulia-chan! Are you okay?
Y-Yeah...
--You okay? --You hurt?
I-I'm okay.
C'mon, guys, wait up!
Those little wieners look so cute!
--Want one? --Wow, you sure?
Yeah.
Look at this! This normal piece of bread is now...
...a wiener roll!
But that's not even a roll.
So this is a butt bun.
Isn't it so squishy? I'm glad they weren't sold out today!
I liked those new donuts, too. They were good.
What were they called again?
A Screaming Cruller?
Oh, I watched My Nearby Tororo.
Really?! We gotta go see 2, now! I wanted to see it again, anyway!
O-Okay.
Isn't that one scene so good?
The one where he eats her?
Yeah! The first time I saw that, I was moved to tears!
Hana, are you going to get popcorn again?
Heck yeah! I gotta get my calories!
Is the movie theater experience that taxing?
