"It's bad!" "It's so bad!" "At long last it appeared." "Appeared?" "Something appeared in a hospital, gotta be a ghost right!" "Ghost?" "Again with that..." "You really like those occult stuff eh" "Hey, it's not me" "Head nurse Takano said she saw it" "Midori-chan, I tried making jam from that pineapple." "Yeah?" "Moreover, this is not the first time." "This past month, in the same patient room there have been sounds "Shoo!" "shoo!"" "Like a rap sound?" "Some weird sounds, some lights, the gossips just kept on going." "This, next up is persimmons jam." "No good eh?" "Then, it's become a small problem for the hospital." "When I talked about Onmyouya-san, how about we ask for consultation today, I suggested." "Alright, I'll tell Shoumei." "I'm the administrative manager in Ouji Central Hospital, my name is Uwajima." "Pleased to meet you" "I'm the proprietor of Onmyouya, my name is Abe no Shoumei." "Well..." "I've heard about you but you really are an Onmyouji." "Thank you very much." "Please" "Oh, thank you." "Here you go Thanks" "Well then, could you recount the details of the request, please" "Uhm, how should I say it..." "Actually, seems like a ghost has appeared in my hospital." "A ghost" "Oh, of course," "I do not believe it" "However, the nurses are saying they saw it." "If a freak gossip is spread among the patients, it'd be lots of problems for us we don't know what to do anymore..." "As the General Hospital of this old town, helping the weak, you don't pursue profit, it's something like a charity." "Managing such an institution, must be a lot of hardships for you." "You understand!" "If this fuss over a ghost gets big, and the number of patients goes down," "It could spell trouble for the hospital." "Exactly as you said." "That is not a problem that we can just leave alone." "In this a case like this," "I was thinking a ritual for soul calming would be perfect." "Soul calming?" "It's an ancient Japanese Magic to calm the soul of the dead in order to suppress it." "Magic, huh." "At its worst, it just a matter of feelings." "If this ritual is performed, everyone should have a peace of mind, don't you think?" "I see." "Oh but, a ritual, so you're going to be in that clothing?" "Yes." "Uh..." "Walking around the hospital in that attire, would spread weird gossips among the patients even more, I think." "What about we do a masquerade party in the hospital?" "What are you thinking?" "...but that could work!" "Manager, how about we ask them to come in the weekend as Smiley Volunteers?" "What's that?" "Volunteers who play with hospitalized children, help with their schoolwork." "Previously there were a magician, a juggler etc. who came, so if an Onmyouji came there shouldn't be any problem, right?" "Yeah" "That might just work." "Then, this weekend please!" "No, but, if you tell me to play with kids..." "Just entertain them, you know" "Like, fire whoosh!" "Or water splash!" "Onmyouji does various things, right" "Fire whoosh, water splash, huh?" "Please make me and Shou tied together!" "If not I'll be a beast~" "A ghost?" "Yes" "My mom said one appeared in the hospital." "She's just so flustered" "But you know what, Shoumei taking on a job that's not fortune-telling, so lightly, that's unusual." "Of course I took it." "In host terms, that's what we call a fat customer." "Fat customer?" "Shou!" "Welcome" "Plump and charming today as well." "Stop it~" "Wrong." "It means great customers who would bring us big money." "Oh, that." "But why would that manager spend lots of money?" "This time, it's not a personal request, but a request from the hospital as an organization." "So?" "People are careful when spending out of their own pocket, but when they can bill the receipt to the organization, they spend recklessly without hesitation." "You really are black to the core (idiom, meaning scheming/malicious)" "But it's always rounded up nicely, isn't it?" "So who cares what kinda core it really is inside..." "Obviously absolutely dark" "Maybe even pitch black, pitch black" "Anyway, gotta deal with Smiley Volunteers" "Deal with?" "Teaching kids, playing with kids, such a pain." "Pain...?" "So what are you going to do?" "There's someone who's just perfect for this right?" "Excuse me, excuse me, passing through, excuse me" "Excuse me" "I wanna kiss!" "Do ghosts exist?" "Huh, what about ghosts?" "Actually, Onmyouya is going to exterminate a ghost this time." "Seems like there's one in the Central Hospital." "Hey, stop that sorta talk" "Eh, Okajima you can't deal with that sort of stories?" "Eh, is that so?" "Yeap" "Mitsui-san" "If it's Mitsui-san's ghost, I wanna see her every day!" "Sensei, here" "Oh, Mitsui-san, thank you" "Oh, I forgot to tell Sensei" "Good afternoon" "Welcome" "Oh Michiko-sensei." "Is Onmyouya-san here?" "Yes, today in bath no. 1, too What happened?" "Is there any customers?" "No one yet" "Onmyouya-san, good afternoon" "That voice, is it Michiko-sensei?" "Do you need something?" "I heard." "Heard you're doing lessons for hospital children?" "It's none of Sensei's business" "You even said to absolutely not say this to me, huh?" "It's Fox-kun eh..." "Meddling again" "Smiley Volunteers?" "Yes" "Seems like Michiko-sensei would be great in stuff like science experiments, so she would probably be able to make the children have fun" "Well, that's, if you compare me to an ordinary person..." "That Shoumei, "if she does a more interesting lesson than me, it wouldn't even be a joke"" "He said "You absolutely can't say anything about volunteering"" "Seems like he hates losing so much" "Ooo...." "I called the hospital earlier, I'll be participating too" "As a Smiley Volunteer" "Looking forward to the children's smiling face, right?" "Alright then, have a nice day" "Excuse me" "Excuse me" "Oh, Shunta what's up?" "How did it go?" "As we planned, looks like she's gonna volunteer" "Whoa you, often in when it comes to this, you can tell eh?" "A person full of self-esteem like that, once you compliment them, they'll dance along on their own" "There he goes on the high horse again" "Then why go the roundabout way, you could've complimented her directly yourself" "The thing about compliment, rather than hearing it directly hearing it from a third person elevates the air of reality" "So I even opted for the more effective way" "Sensei, I'm sorry" "Everyone!" "Let's have fun with science together with Oneesan today!" "Let's science!" "Alright, to start off do you know what this is?" "Ah, that air thingy!" "I know!" "I know!" "Right, this is an air cannon" "Using this, with the power of air, it can knock things down!" "Wow!" "Do it one more time!" "Again again!" "Do it more!" "Before that, let's learn about air" "Air is gas blanketing Earth that makes up the lower layer of the atmosphere" "Nitrogen makes up 80% of it, oxigen 20%, and others are trace amounts of Argon, Carbon dioxide, Neon, Helium, Xenon etc." "Looks like quite the real deal, eh." "Oh damn, I'm getting sleepy" "She probably will teach them hard about air, electricity, and mechanics today, the 3 parts that are the basis of science." "How about we leave the children in her hands, and let us see the problematic patient room, please." "Oh, right." "Well, please this way" "Remember this, okay" "Let's Science" "Oh, hello" "This is Onmyouji-san, a smiley volunteer" "Ah hello, Onmyouji-san, a smiley volunteer" "Wait a minute, Yuusuke-kun!" "Why did you take Emi-neechan out?" "None of your business, ok" "Yuusuke-kun!" "Hell if I know!" "I have nothing more to do with her" "You too, forget her quick" "Hey, hey, what's going on?" "Hmm, I think you're..." "I'm just here for an examination" "Mao-chan, smiley volunteers here..." "Not interested" "Here is Takano Akemi-san, the chief nurse" "The person who saw the ghost yesterday" "Here, room number 206" "What kind of patient was using this room previously?" "Her name was Saotome Emi" "That person is now?" "She passed away about a month ago, in this room" "Huh?" "She was only 19 years old." "She was a girl who loved stars" "When she was hospitalized, she told stories about constellations using handmade picture card show to children" "Could it be that she's not able to go on?" "(pass on, go to heaven, etc)" "Now that you mention it, the rumors about strange sounds, and this lighting up, were this past month, right." "Furthermore Emi-san died at 10 at night," "I saw the ghost at exactly that time too" "Hey, please stop expanding the topic I saw the ghost at exactly that time too" "Hey, please stop expanding the topic" "Ho ho ho" "Well well" "What are you up to, all "Ho ho ho" again" "Uhm, what do you think?" "Right, it's true that I can feel a soul of the deceased in this room" "In any case, let's perform the soul calming ritual, paste talisman on the walls and ceiling, and see how it goes." "Fox-kun, the altar." "Yes" "Is Emi-neechan here?" "Mao-chan" "Please let me meet with Emi-neechan's ghost" "Please" "Mao-chan has been doing ballet since kindergarten" "Seems she wanted to become a professional ballerina but she fell from the stage by mistake and her lower back nerves were damaged." "Saotome Emi-san who passed away encouraged her by saying, "Let's go climb a mountain together and see the stars"" "She worked at at rehabilitation but ever since she died, she has been completely depressed." "We'd like her to cheer up" "Excuse me!" "I would like to see Tadano-sensei's lesson..." "Hey, everyone, you're not listening to sensei's lesson?" "But, it's boring" "I wanna see Emi-neechan's picture card show!" "Emi-neechan is way better!" "Better!" "What's this "Emi-neechan!" "Emi-neechan!"" "Let me tell you my lesson is far more interesting!" "Oh." "Michiko's lesson wasn't good?" "If you ask me..." "No, it was the best!" "Sensei's science classroom" "It moved me!" "To commemorate your first after-hours classes, a present for you" "What's that?" "This is a keyholder from the planetarium in front of Ouji Station" "The beautiful guide lady there," ""if you own a matching pair you'll be bound tightly,"" "she told me." "Don't need it" "I'm not giving up!" "That potato has become pretty proactive, eh" "He blurted out "I like you" too the other day" "Unexpectedly, they may be a good match" "Dang it, the same" "By the way, Onmyouya-san you were not doing any wolunteer work, what were you doing?" "Calming a lost ghost" "Ghost?" "That Emi-san sensei talked about" "She died about a month ago but seems like a ghost has appeared in that room" "What?" "Taking such a fishy job and pocketing the money again" "There's no way ghosts exist right" "Saying such things, a curse will befall on you, y'know" "Hmph, if you're coming, come and get me, right" "Hey where are you going?" "Bed" "Michiko!" "Sensei!" "Sensei!" "Are you alright?" "Michiko~!" "Gen-san!" "Ambulance!" "Ambulance!" "Is she hurt?" "Sensei, you're awake?" "Oh, Shunta-kun's mother." "Sensei you fell from the stairs so you were brought to this hospital" "Oh" "But don't worry" "After close examination, there's no abnormality" "Just to be safe, we'll keep you hospitalized for tonight" "I'm sorry for troubling you" "What's wrong?" "At this hour..." "Could it be Emi-neechan?" "Eh, Emi..?" "Is it Emi-neechan?" "Sorry, getting you to accompany me" "Not at all." "Well, once in a while a night like this is not bad." "Right?" "Yes" "But is it okay?" "Him staying over in the shop" "Can't be helped right." "He's drunk" "I'll kick him out in the morning" "By the way, I have a question for you Genjirou-san" "Hm?" "What is it?" "About Fox-kun's biological parents" "He, 15 years ago, in a morning in December was abandoned in Ouji Inari, and found by Midori-san, right" "Yeah" "It was a harshly cold season" "It's unlikely that he was left there in the middle of the night" "Most likely, he was left there just before he was found" "I guess" "The people in this shopping street take a walk, exercise in the park from dawn, and stuff" "Even so, no one saw Fox-kun's parent abandoning him there?" "The police really asked around but no one saw anything" "Is that so" "You know" "I got a question for you too" "What could it be?" "You, what did you do before you became a host?" "I was a teacher in a cram school." "Huh..." "Before that?" "University student, so?" "I see" "So, fortune-telling, palm reading," "Onmyoudou, etc. when and where did you learn those?" "(Onmyoudou: the study/system that an Onmyouji practices)" "You have reasonable knowledge of all those, don't you" "My knowledge isn't that big of a deal" "Just what I like." "How to resolve a person's conflicted heart, for example" "What is it, at this hour" "Hello" "Hey, wassup?" "Don't shout" "Calm down" "Huh?" "He happens to be here right now" "Michiko said she has something to tell you" "Oh alright" "What is it?" "It's here!" "Emi-san's ghost!" "Please come here right now!" "That's a pain, so I'll go tomorrow" "Eh?" "Hey, Onmyouya-san, wait..." "What did she say?" "Seems the ghost has appeared again" "Again?" "This..." "looks like something is really happening" "Ghost huh?" "Ghost eh" "So, you go solve this" "You like this stuff right" "Working on Sunday morning, what a totally troublesome ghost" "This...could it be..." "When we got in I think it fell on the floor" "Then, it really is..." "Yeah." "The ghost must have peeled it off, huh" "You serious?" "But why only the ceiling one?" "It's weakened..." "This person here was making ruckus and yelling, the whole hospital very well know about this." "I'm sorry" "Anyways, please do something about this ghost uproar!" "If this commotion doesn't subside, I'll have you return our money, okay!" "Absolutely" "Little Miss, seems you were good friends with Emi-san right" "I'd like to hear the opinion of such a person, why do you think Emi-san became a ghost?" "Hey Shoumei..." "Maybe..." "I think Emi-neechan wants Yuusuke-kun to apologize to her." "Yuusuke-kun is?" "This is Emi-neechan?" "The one with us is Yuusuke-kun" "Oh, this guy was the one from the other day" "Yuusuke-kun broke his leg, and he was hospitalized here" "He's the same age as Emi-neechan, so they got along well." "He played wih me often too" "But Yuusuke-kun, after he was released from the hospital, did a bad thing to Oneechan" "A bad thing?" "Even though her condition was really not good, he just took her out of the hospital" "Then, Oneechan came back to the hospital in an ambulance..." "Then, she died not long after." "What!" "?" "Even so, Yuusuke-kun" "He didn't even come to Oneechan's funeral" "What a..." "I think that's why Emi-neechan became a ghost" "Alright, let's have that guy Yuusuke apologize to her" "Okay" "Good work today" "Excuse me!" "Ushijima-san, right?" "Who are you?" "We asked Mao-chan who's in the hospital and came here" "What do you want?" "Do you know about Emi-san's ghost?" "What?" "In the patient room, Emi-san's ghost has appeared" "Mao-chan said that could it be she wants Ushijima-san to apologize" "What the heck?" "Are you idiots?" "You took Emi-san out of the hospital by force right" "Why did you do such a thing?" "No girl to have fun with so I asked her out, that's all" "In any case, she had been in the hospital for 3 years right" "She looked happy and was all into it" "You saying those things, you will really be cursed by Emi-san, I'm telling you" "Oh, scary" "If such magic exists, come bring her ghost along" "Damn it, that jerk" "The natural response" "Hey Shoumei!" "Where are you going?" "Gonna go look at the stars" "Stars?" "Onmyouji's since a long time ago have been foretelling omens from the point of view of celestial correlations" "In times like this, it's best to look at the stars shining to the heavens" "What is up with him" "Maybe Onmyouya-san has realized something" "Stories of Lyra," "Orpheus the Bard" "There lived a man called Orpheus in the Thrace region in Greece" "He was a famous lyre player in all of Greece" "Almost every day, he sat idly on grass on the riverbank, just kept sighing, and made tears flow" "He missed his dead wife so much he became like that" "So he headed to the Underworld" "See the stars..." "Planetarium?" "Is that the beautiful guide lady Makihara-san talked about?" "Don't tell me that's his objective..." "Impossible" "What do we do?" "Let's go back to the hospital" "We're gonna solve this ourselves" "It's so ominous..." "Shoumei..." "Hey..." "Onmyouya-san, in this room..." "I know" "It's probably gonna end soon, just wait" "End?" "What exactly...?" "What exactly...?" "You've finally finished it, Ushijima-san?" "I am the proprietor of Onmyouya, Abe no Shoumei" "Like I thought, you're here at the time of death of Emi-san" "Why are you here?" "Don't tell me the ghost is actually him?" "Ho ho ho" "Well well" "No no, I thought maybe it's this but," "I am surprised" "What is it?" "There is a ghost in this room, CLEARLY" "What?" "Isn't it great?" "She's right there." "Look, Emi-san!" "What are you talking about" "Don't mess with me!" "Didn't you want to see her too?" "You two are destined, after all" "Emi-san who loved stars must have told you the famous 2 stars shining in spring nights about Arcturus and Spica" "These 2 have been known as Husband and Wife Stars" "Ushijima Yuusuke-san is the cowherd constellation's Arcturus (part of his name ushi=cow)" "Saotome Emi-san is the Virgo constellation's Spica (part of her name otome=virgin)" "The names of you 2, if you link them to the known astronomy, are exactly tied together like destiny" "Look look, it's amazing Yuusuke-kun" "It's like we both are born under the Husband and Wife Stars" "Oohh....is that so" "I don't really get it though" "And then," "Emi-san developed a goal, didn't she?" "To get past the winter and live until spring, she wanted to see the Husband and Wife Stars shining in the night sky together with you" "But as it became autumn, her health deteriorated" "I really wanted to see them with Yuusuke-kun" "Arcturus and Spica" "What are you saying?" "You will" "Let's go see them." "Let's go see them together, definitely" "But there was pretty much no time left" "That's why you took her out of the hospital, right" "To show her the stars" "What" "I'm begging you!" "Please let us see the spring constellations!" "Uhm, it's after hours already..." "Really, just a little bit is fine" "I really wanted to show it to her no matter what" "Please I beg you!" "Please!" "I really wanted to show it to her no matter what" "Please I beg you!" "Please!" "Alright." "Please wait a moment" "Thank you very much" "Emi, they say they're gonna show us Arcturus and Spica" "Thank you, Yuusuke-kun" "A secret memory for just the two of us, right" "Yeah" "Emi Emi!" "However, you weren't able to show Emi-san the Husband and Wife Stars" "I wanted to see" "Arcturus and Spica" "I'll definitely show them to you" "Definitely" "After Emi-san passed away, you started coming here regularly" "That is in order to fulfill your promise to her" "Promise?" "Moreover after fulfilling that promise you intend on becoming like Orpheus, don't you?" "What's Orpheus?" "He's the main character in the Greek mythology about constellations that Emi-san told in the picture card show" "When her most beloved wife died," "Orpheus went to the Underworld on his own volition to see her once again" "Don't tell me" "You mean to chase her too?" "None of your business right" "Yes, none of my business" "I'm fine even if you die" "Hey" "However, could you do it after the lesson?" "Lesson?" "Yes, tonight we're having a special evening Smiley Volunteer classroom" "Yuusuke-kun" "Thank you very much" "Good evening I am the proprietor of Onmyouya, my name is Abe no Shoumei" "Today I will show you something interesting" "Actually, Emi-neechan's ghost is here in this room" "What!" "You're lying!" "Well then, let's have a look" "Here is the proof of that there's a ghost" "What?" "I'm scared..." "Wow, so pretty..." "Amazing" "Amazing isn't it?" "So beautiful isn't it?" "Awesome~ Beautiful~" "Beautiful" "What is this?" "The spring constellations" "You mean that..." "The red star of the cowherd constellation is Arcturus" "That pale blue of the Virgo constellation is Spica" "The Husband and Wife Stars that Emi-san wanted to see" "So, to show this to Emi-san who died Ushijima-san did all this?" "No, that's not right" "This is something that is left by Emi-san who had become a ghost for the children." "Right, Ushijima-san?" "Yea" "I'm sure this was left by Emi for us" "Did you know?" "That Arcturus moves toward Spica?" "Huh?" "Probably after 60,000 years he'll be right by Spica and they'll line up together like real husband and wife" "As long as you keep remembering her, don't you think your feelings will reach her no matter how far apart you are?" "Yuusuke-kun" "When I can walk again, take me to see the stars in place of Emi-neechan" "Yeah" "Stars, huh" "Those stars are made of fluorescent paint, so we couldn't see it during daylight, eh" "Even at night, if the lights aren't turned off they won't light up" "He must have done it by shining a UV lamp" "That's why the room lit up weirdly, right" "But, when did you notice the stars on the ceiling?" "From the beginning" "Ho ho ho" "Well well" "Also, after looking at the talisman that peeled off from the ceiling, there was fluorescent paint there" "Then after going to the planetarium and asking" "I knew that those two said they wanted to see the spring constellations" "But why did you know Ushijima-san and Emi-san went to the planetarium?" "Because of that" "This?" "This is the planetarium keyholder that Makihara-san bought, right" "That time I saw he had the same thing, so I connected him with the planetarium" "Oh yeah, if you're gonna tail me, do it better" "Here you go" "Starving right?" "Whoa!" "Oinari-san!" "I love this so much" "So good" "So then, with this it's clear" "Like I said there's no such thing as ghosts" "Don't make assumptions for everything!" "If you think there are ghosts, you'd fear the Underworld, and it would serve as an admonition to haughty people" "Am I wrong?" "Well that's true" "Also, anybody has a ghost or two of their own" "They're not really bad guys, those ghosts" "Like I thought you had one right, a secret lover" "Idiot." "Finish that quick and go to sleep" "By the way, that you were hospitalized and were led to that room, I don't think that was a coincidence" "Didn't you actually see something?" "Huh?" "Don't tell me..." "No way!" "Like I said, don't worry about it" "It's good to see ghosts once in a while" "What?" "This late" "Got something to ask you, so I waited up" "About Michiko-sensei again?" "If it's her, she's upstairs now..." "No" "I heard what you were talking with Genjirou-san while playing Igo yesterday" "Yoshiaki, you not coming home and being here in this town, is the reason related to Shunta-kun?"
