"My heart swings like a pendulum..." "It flutters to the right and feels sadness to the left but sad at the moment." "Let's keep staring at each other!" "and adolescence..." "Those words are commonly used." "understand my frustrations!" "you can be in a mature relationship with childlike feelings." "this passion is somewhat familiar." "I have dreams that go beyond my admiration." "even though I'm just a young girl." "I know..." "I know I'm not the only one." "Everyone is feeling shy and it's unstoppable..." "What makes me want to see you?" "I like summer." "bathing suit... seaside school." "I love them all." "I don't mind doing summer homework." "I don't mind the rain or thunder either." "But... and ghost stories." "Please..." "Memory" "Thank you for inviting me." "Thank you for inviting me." "Welcome." "Did I schedule you to come tonight?" "look." "Look at this." "my!" "They're wonderful!" "and I just got them today." "They're fresh." "We should eat them right away." "Then I'll go prepare the tea." "what happened to Nagisa-san?" "What's going on?" "you see..." "Nagisa-san's school bathing suit just arrived today." "Nagisa-san!" "Please open up!" "Nagisa-san." "No!" "Everyone is going to see you at the pool anyway." "I don't want people to see me there like this!" "Stop resisting!" "then oneesama is going to find out." "We got some tasty treats from a famous patissier." "It's too bad you can't join us... but..." "Too bad." "this cake looks delicious!" "I think I'll try this millefeuille." "They said this gâteau chocolat is great." "I can't decide what to eat." "right?" "right?" "Yes." "Ta-da!" "my!" "So cute!" "it looks good on you!" "I think it's good." "Stop!" "hate it!" "Nagisa-chan." "Cheer up." "We have some cakes." "What?" "Really?" "you really have a sweet tooth." "What's wrong with that?" "Nagisa-san is so cute." "so there's no need to be embarrassed." "Hikari." "Hikari." "There's no need to cry." "What?" "I wasn't crying." "Huh?" "But I just heard crying..." "What?" "This voice..." "Whose voice is it?" "Could this be..." "What?" "Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan saw a ghost?" "It's not a ghost." "After they left our tea party they heard a girl's crying in the hallway." "That must be "the girl in the hallway." "Right." "It's one of Strawberry Hall's seven wonders." "Seven wonders?" "There are a total of seven wonders in Strawberry Hall." "Nagisa- chan?" "No." "Let's see..." ""mirror in the dance hall" "gallows in the attic"..." ""piano that plays on its own" "7th door" "stain in the basement"..." ""Laughs in the conference room"..." "Huh?" "What is that?" "On the wall of the basement that is off-limits there's a stain that's in the shape of a person..." "What?" "As for mine..." "The sound of laughter can be heard from an empty conference room." "The ones who heard that voice..." "No!" "I didn't know Nagisa-chan was such a scaredy-cat." "Much worse than I expected." "Chihaya and I differ in one of the seven wonders..." "Those seven wonders are a bunch of nonsense anyway." "they're going to be different for each person." "Aren't you going too far to say they're a bunch of nonsense?" "But they are." "Nagisa-chan." "Okay... everyone." "Professor." "It's time for your morning service." "and study verses 1~14 in the 148th psalm in the Book of Psalms." "Are we ready?" "Yes." "Tamao-chan?" "what is this?" "I asked away at the people who knew about the seven wonders in Strawberry Hall." "many people couldn't remember all seven." "Really?" "the girl from the class next door." "Even an upperclassman." "Ms. Oosaki." "Our homeroom teacher is from Miator?" "Yes." "She's a respected senpai." "some people mentioned seven wonders that are different from others." "So it's pretty interesting." "of the seven wonders Chiyo-chan knows... five are the same." "they only have two in common." "I see... don't tell me you were..." "Yes." "I've been trying to decide what to put in our... and I thought about putting something that is related to this research." "Really?" "What kind of article are you going to write?" "I'm thinking of researching "the girl in the hallway" for the time being." "What?" "That's the one Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan encountered... that's right." "Yaya-chan." "Hikari." "Ugh..." "We're both floating in the sky." "Yeah... your break is over." "Okay." "Last night?" "You mean the story about the hallway?" "Do you like ghosts?" "Don't say ghosts." "Oh my." "We're doing some research on the seven wonders." "Like where you heard the voice or how it felt." "Can you tell us anything about that encounter?" "I believe we heard the voice around the corner on our way home." "Shifting point near the Spica building." "Let's see..." "I think the voice kept coming from different places." "right?" "so maybe the voices could reverberate... but..." "What kind of voice did you hear?" "Well..." "Ah!" "Hee!" "Looks like your naked body was more shocking than a ghost." "Right..." "What?" "Why do you say that?" "Nagisa-chan." "What?" "I found out something that's interesting." "There's a strange trend concerning the people that know about this "girl in the hallway." "Strange trend?" "Are you interested?" "Yeah." "so I can't really say much." "But our current students all know about this phenomenon." "Some of them might have a totally different answer but they all had "the girl in the hallway" in common." "Right." "But when we asked the ones who graduated the number of people who knew about it was much less." "People who are five years older than the sixth-year student knew about it but the ones who are six years and up didn't know about this phenomenon." "People who are five years older..." "That means when the current sixth-year student first entered the school those people were staying at Strawberry Hall?" "Nagisa-chan." "Maybe this phenomenon started just recently." "The girl in the hallway"..." "I wonder how it goes... you see..." "What?" "Several years ago on a certain night one of the students from Strawberry Hall left her room alone." "And then she never returned..." "Huh?" "I'll do more research tomorrow by focusing on the upperclassmen." "Nagisa-chan?" "okay?" "Sure." "I can't sleep." "Can I sleep with you?" "Nagisa-chan." "It's okay..." "I'll be just fine like this." "This is the first time we've slept together in the same bed." "Yeah." "To tell you the truth..." "Yes?" "and I thought about asking you several times to sleep with me." "my..." "Nagisa-chan?" "Know what?" "both you and your partner will have the same dream." "Tamao-chan." "okay?" "Okay." "Nagisa-chan." "The seven wonders of Strawberry Hall..." "Yes." "One of them called "the girl in the hallway"..." "Silly." "What?" "You shouldn't go around asking people about unscientific things like that." "But there are people who said they heard voices..." "I'm sorry but the meeting is about to begin." "The girl in the hallway"..." "Did you ask Miyuki about that?" "What?" "Who's Miyuki?" "Miyuki Rokujyo." "she said I shouldn't ask such unscientific things." "Then I'll have to say the same." "No comment." "What?" "But you just have to tell me if you know it or not..." "I already told you the answer." "No comment." "That's all." "The seven wonders of Strawberry Hall?" "Of course I'll cooperate." "I know about "the girl in the hallway." "I was told about it when I first entered the dormitory." "I knew it!" "Fifth-year student Chikari-sama is familiar with the phenomenon." "Sounds interesting." "Can I ask you some details?" "Sure." "Everyone up until the fifth year knew about "the girl in the hallway" "There were some sixth-year students who only knew a little." "the older they are the less they knew." "Ones who graduated more than ten years ago didn't know about this at all." "It was unbelievable when I first entered school." "I heard one of the senpais heard the voice too." "What?" "Really?" "When the current sixth-year student first entered school maybe someone spread the rumor?" "Or maybe something strange did occur that year." "Are you interested in this?" "Of course." "I want to know anything strange about Strawberry Hall." "Aren't you scared?" "Nagisa-chan." "Do you know how long this Strawberry Hall has been around?" "Well..." "It was created when Miator first opened so that means it's been around almost 100 years." "Wow." "this building has housed girls our age and has been doing so for a very long time." "This wall has been listening to what we had to say." "and other thoughts." "don't you think that a strange phenomenon like this suits this kind of building?" "Tamao-chan." "You were still awake?" "Nagisa-chan?" "we did all this research together..." "You're right." "Nagisa-chan?" "Okay!" "I feel like I'm not scared of anything." "That's good to know." "right?" "Yeah." "I'm not scared." "I'm fine now." "I'm okay." "I'm okay." "What?" "Is that really it?" "Could it be?" "I'm okay..." "I'm okay..." "I'm not scared." "I'm not scared... look!" "I'm not scared..." "I'm not scared..." "Oh." "A cat?" "So the cries of "the girl in the hallway" were the cries of a cat after all." "Yes." "I'm sure Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan heard the same sound." "You might be right." "It has to be." "I'm sure that the cries the senpais heard five years ago came from the cat as well." "Are you sure?" "It has to be." "Are you really sure?" "I'm sure of it." "okay." "Miyuki..." "Miyuki..." "What?" "This is where you were crying?" "Shizuma." "I know you feel homesick since it's your first time being in a dormitory." "It's becoming a rumor all over the dormitory." "About the cries being heard from the hallway." "I'm sorry..." "You don't have to apologize." "I'll be fine starting today." "Really?" "I'll do my best." "I'll be more mature." "That's because..." "Shizuma." "Then we don't have to sleep in the same bed tonight." "No!" "right?" "Just for tonight..." "Tonight is the last time." "Miyuki." "Miyuki." "Yes!" "Page 22." "Um..." "Tenth line on the fourth one." "powerful nations would marry each other." "This policy to bring peace has..." "I'll be more mature." "I'll be strong just like you one day." "next person." "Omaezaki-san." "Yes." "That was rare." "It's just not like you." "Keep it steady." "Thanks." "Keep it steady..." "Nagisa-chan." "Tamao-chan." "Sure..." "I have something to tell you." "What?" "It's about "the girl in the hallway." "I wasn't able to finish the article." "What?" "So I decided to research the other seven wonders." "That means... there are six more." "I'm sure we'll get a big one this time." "No..." "No more!" "I feel sad." "I feel sad." "That's what my heart was feeling." "This isn't good." "I'm dreaming about this deep guilt that is taken away from me." "Please give me eternity." "I bite my finger and wait for seduction." "My glass doll." "I want to break apart inside your arms." "You are my destiny." "Touching you gently is not enough." "I want to cry and want you to cry as well." "Kiss my tears." "and that is our secret." "Tamao-chan." "This is what I think." "Studying is the most important thing for students." "You're right." "But it's important to study every day." "That's right." "So it's too late if you try to cram everything before an exam." "That's just a waste of time." "Private Lesson." "you'll get much worse." "I don't want to hear it!"
