WORK IN PROGRESS

Dusk till Dawn 2 [15/24]

Kujo Tenn: Good work today, Yuki-san. Looks like we'll be working together for the Forest of Time Museum project.

Kujo Tenn: Ryuu and I are looking forward to working with you.

Yuki: Thanksy.

Kujo Tenn: Is something wrong?

Yuki: Sorry, my taxi hit a bump.

Yuki: I typed Thanksy on accident. Sounds like the catchphrase of some mascot character.

Kujo Tenn: Good worky.

Yuki: It's moe when someone as cute as you says it.

Kujo Tenn: Isn't “moe” kind of an outdated word?

Yuki: Huh, Really? Come to think of it, Momo doesn't really say it anymore either.

Kujo Tenn: So Momo-san is your benchmark for what’s trending?

Yuki: Pretty much. Most of my vocabulary comes from Momo.

Yuki: I haven’t had the opportunity to see him much lately, so my vocabulary's been getting rusty.

Kujo Tenn: I heard you've been very busy. The schedule for your drama and your new single ended up overlapping.

Yuki: Yeah, but I'm managing.

Yuki: I'll still be at this weekend's meeting.

Kujo Tenn: The museum meeting?

Yuki: Yes. We used Okarin 👓 Power to carve some time out of my schedule.

Yuki: Idols and Japanese paintings aren't exactly a collaboration you see every day, and they've put together a really interesting group for it.

Kujo Tenn: We sure are an unusual combination.

Kujo Tenn: I don't know the details of the selection process, but I heard your name was the first to come up because you're top-class both as a composer and as an actor.

Yuki: If we're saying that, then Mitsuki-kun's well known as an MC, Ryuunosuke-kun has fans of every generation thanks to his sexy look and approachable personality

Yuki: And you, Tenn-kun, have a 100% approval rating. You're the perfect model idol from every angle.

Yuki: Maybe they gathered us because they wanted people to feel that art, which can seem intimidating, is actually approachable.

Kujo Tenn: "A model idol"... I am honored to hear that from someone as respectable as you.

Kujo Tenn: I'll do my best to live up to your expectations on this project.

Yuki: Why'd you suddenly get so formal? Bring back the energy from "Good worky."

Kujo Tenn: Sorry. We were talking about work, so I slipped into serious mode.

Yuki: Say it cutely.

Kujo Tenn: I'm super excited to work with you! ☺️

Yuki: Ah, that sounded a little like Riku-kun

Kujo Tenn: It’s not as moe as his when I say it.

Yuki: ^^

Kujo Tenn: ^^

Yuki: Tenn-kun, I'll be home in about ten minutes but

Yuki: My eyelids are starting to stick together.

Kujo Tenn: That's no good. A top idol shouldn't be this defenseless.

Yuki: Then tell me something that'll wake me up.

Yuki: A cute Gaku-kun story would work.

Kujo Tenn: ...Gaku?

Kujo Tenn: Sorry, but Gaku exists at the complete opposite end of the spectrum from "moe". Can I tell you a Ryuu story instead?

Yuki: 

Kujo Tenn: Apparently, when Ryuu was in Okinawa, he danced with local children at community events.

Kujo Tenn: They performed the “Purple Yam Mogu Mogu Exercise”.

Yuki: The Purple Yam Mogu Mogu Exercise

Yuki: I looked it up and wow. I expected a laid-back little dance, but it's surprisingly intense.

Kujo Tenn: The first verse represents the yams being mashed and strained on their journey to becoming tarts.

Yuki: Yams live a rough life.

Yuki: Is there any footage of Ryuunosuke-kun dancing it?

Kujo Tenn: I wanted to see it too, but the video his relatives recorded is so shaky you can't make anything out…

Yuki: So the camera skills run in the family.

Yuki: Thanks. I'm really awake now.

Kujo Tenn: I'm glad I could help. Feel free to message me anytime you feel sleepy again.

Yuki: I will. Next time I expect a cute Tenn-kun story too.

Kujo Tenn:

Yuki: Mitsuki-kun, good evening.

Yuki: Is Yamato-kun nearby?

Izumi Mitsuki: Good evening! Yes he is!

Izumi Mitsuki: 

Izumi Mitsuki: ↑ Just got out of the bath and he's lounging around like this lolol

Yuki: Sorry to bother you, but could you tell him to check my message?

Izumi Mitsuki: He hasn't even read your message? I'll tell him right away!

Izumi Mitsuki: 👓 Your message got buried under a bunch of company messages and I missed it. I’ll take you up on those drinks next time

Izumi Mitsuki: ↑ His words, not mine 😆 What's this about drinks?

Yuki: Shizuo-san gave me a few bottles of really good sake, so I wanted to pass some along to him. But he's been leaving me on read, or rather not even opening my messages, for two days.

Izumi Mitsuki: Two days is pretty bad lolol

Izumi Mitsuki: Though I don't exactly think of you as a fast replier either 🤔

Yuki: Well, I only reply when I feel like it

Izumi Mitsuki: So you're in the mood to reply today 😄 Nice!

Yuki: I messaged you first after all

Yuki: Maybe I'll just start messaging you instead since Yamato-kun never replies to me anyways

Izumi Mitsuki: Anytime! I'm confident I'm a fast replier 👍

Yuki: That impudent junior didn’t even bother opening the message

Yuki: 

Yuki: ↑ Even though he’s laying like this

Izumi Mitsuki: LOOOOOOOL

Yuki: Are you coming to the Japanese painting exhibition?

Izumi Mitsuki: You mean Yamato-san? I was actually inviting him a moment ago!

Izumi Mitsuki: He said he watched our promo video, and apparently he recognized a few of the paintings.

Yuki: As expected since he was taught about stuff like this

Izumi Mitsuki: Seriously! I didn't know a single thing about them at first 😲

Yuki: I think that's actually a good thing this time. The goal was to attract people like us, people who don’t know much about Japanese painting.

Yuki: I really liked your comment, Mitsuki-kun. It’s something only you could’ve said. Those words came from you, and that's what made them so meaningful.

Izumi Mitsuki: Yuki-san...! Thank you so much!! 😭

Izumi Mitsuki: I decided I'm going again next week, so I'll make sure to see the “Mumei” painting one more time!

Yuki: Lucky you. I wanna see it too.

Izumi Mitsuki: Wanna go together if you want? You could bring over those drinks while you’re at it.

Yuki: Sounds good. Mind if I invite Momo too?

Izumi Mitsuki: Of course not! I'll make a group chat so we can work out a date.

Izumi Mitsuki: Leave the tickets to me, I’ll take care of them 😄 I'll also find somewhere nice for lunch and make a reservation!

Yuki: Then I'll drive.

Izumi Mitsuki: Is that okay!? I'd appreciate that so much! 🥹

Izumi Mitsuki: Sorry we're always relying on you, Re:vale-san!

Yuki: We're the ones relying on you right now. You're planning everything, getting the tickets, even arranging lunch.

Yuki: No wonder you're a top contender for "Idol We'd Most Want as an Older Brother". You're incredibly dependable.

Izumi Mitsuki: Yuki-san, you saw that ranking!?

Yuki: Of course. It was getting almost as much attention as the "Man People Most Want to Be Held By" ranking.

Yuki: The results aren't out yet, but I imagine either you or Ryuunosuke-kun will win.

Izumi Mitsuki: Ahhh! Tsunashi-san is seriously tough competition! Though Iori keeps insisting I'm definitely going to win lolol

Izumi Mitsuki: As someone with seventeen years of experience being Mitsukiniki, I've gotta live up to it! 😤

Yuki: What's that niki thing?

Izumi Mitsuki: It's a nickname Nagi started calling me recently. It's basically a shortened version of aniki (big bro) 🤔

Izumi Mitsuki: Apparently it's what you call someone you can really rely on!

Yuki: Mitsuki-niki

Yuki: It's kind of a tongue twister

Izumi Mitsuki: Now that you mention it 😂 Yukiniki is a little tricky too!

Yuki: Momoniki is easy to say.

Izumi Mitsuki: You're right! Momoniki! Yukiniki!

Izumi Mitsuki: Yamato-san's too much of a spoiled kid for “niki” to apply to him 🤔

Rokuya Nagi: Now… It is finally time to grant the boy’s final wish.

Mido Torao: …Alright. Here goes.

CLICK… CREAK.

Mido Torao: …It opened, but…

Mido Torao: Huh? There’s something resting on the keys… a sheet of music?

Isumi Haruka: What song is it?

Rokuya Nagi: Perhaps it is meant to be played?

Nikaido Yamato: Makes sense…

Isumi Haruka: Huh?

Nikaido Yamato: Remember what was written in the boy’s diary?

Nikaido Yamato: “I couldn’t play the piano today. I really wanted Mom to hear me play. ”

Isumi Haruka: Right…

Nikaido Yamato: So this sheet music must be the song he used to share with his mother. 

Nikaido Yamato: Now that the piano is unlocked, if we play it for him… 

Nikaido Yamato: The boy can finally move on!

.

Nanase Riku: Exactly! That’s it, Yamato-san!

Osaka Sougo: Amazing! It feels like we’re watching a detective story unfold.

Kujo Tenn: Things are going smoother than expected.

Yaotome Gaku: Yeah. Nice work, guys!

Inumaru Touma: We’re rootin’ for you till the end!

.

Nikaido Yamato: Nagi, can you play it?

Rokuya Nagi: Of course.

Rokuya Nagi: …I shall now perform the melody of the boy and his mother's precious memories. 

Isumi Haruka: …Whoa…!

Mido Torao: He’s reading it for the first time… and playing it perfectly!?

Isumi Haruka: Rokuya-san, you’re amazing…!

Rokuya Nagi: …… (…Hm? My fingers are moving entirely on their own?)

Mido Torao: …Rokuya?

Rokuya Nagi: (I am not controlling this… something is guiding my hands…)

Isumi Haruka: Wait…he's not even following the sheet music anymore. 

Nikaido Yamato: Hey… this is-

Mido Torao: Yeah…it’s the melody from the music box. But Rokuya shouldn’t even know how to play this! 

Clink…

Mido Torao: What the hell!? The music box is playing too…!?

Mido Torao: It’s supposed to be broken… but now it’s working perfectly…!?

Rokuya Nagi: …It’s a duet.

Rokuya Nagi: Such a gentle sound… almost as if someone was waiting all this time just to hear the rest of the song. 

Mido Torao: …!

Mido Torao: “Let me hear the rest…” Those words written on the window… What?

Rokuya Nagi: …It is finished. What a warm, nostalgic melody.

Mido Torao: …

POP!

Nanase Riku: Mission COMPLETE!!

Yaotome Gaku: Way to go, guys!

Nikaido Yamato: Whoa!? Riku? Yaotome!?

Isumi Haruka: Kujo-san!? And Touma and Osaka-san are here too!?

Rokuya Nagi: Everyone… Why are you here?

Nanase Riku: Hehe, we were the hidden staff all along!

Mido Torao: You guys were behind all of this!?

Inumaru Touma: We were watchin’ the whole thing from the control room. We worked hard behind the scenes too!

Mido Torao: Behind the scenes…?

Kujo Tenn: Yes, did you like the haunted doll?

Mido Torao & Nikaido Yamato: Huh?

Nanase Riku: That was all Kujo-san’s live voice acting!

Kujo Tenn: And Nanase-san was controlling it remotely.

Nikaido Yamato: WHAT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

Mido Torao: That thing was absolutely terrifying…!

Nanase Riku: Hehe, mission accomplished!

Kujo Tenn: Yay.

Yaotome Gaku: Grim Reaper was me. Chainsaw Man was Osaka.

Osaka Sougo: Sorry for scaring you guys that badly.

Isumi Haruka: HUHHH!? NO WONDER IT WAS SCARY…!

Yaotome Gaku: You guys gave us some crazy good reactions. We had fun scaring you too!

Osaka Sogo: I'd even like to use that as a reference for when I get pranked myself.

Nikaido Yamato: Wow, I never expected it to be a prank like that. Man… we really got played.

Mido Torao: Yeah, completely fooled…

Nanase Riku: We got the whole thing on camera perfectly!!

Nanase Riku: So then…

Riku, Sougo, Gaku, Tenn, Touma: PRANK!

Nikaido Yamato, Mido Torao, Isumi Haruka & Rokuya Nagi: SUCCESS!!

.

Staff: Alright, cut! Great job!

Mido Torao: Thank you for your hard work…(Ack…I’m totally wiped…!)

Director: Thank you for sticking around for so long! Your teamwork out there was absolutely incredible! 

Nikaido Yamato: Hahaha. It was rough, but honestly a ton of fun.

Isumi Haruka: I hope I don’t get pranked again for a veeeeery long time… 

Mido Torao: Same here…

Director: Though I have to say, Rokuya-san’s piano performance at the end was an amazing and unexpected touch!

Mido Torao: And that music box gimmick was amazing too. It started and stopped playing on its own…. 

Director: Ah, actually….We didn’t set that up.

Mido Torao: …Huh?

Rokuya Nagi: And I did not play that melody myself.

Rokuya Nagi: My fingers moved entirely on their own halfway through. As if guided by an unseen hand. 

Mido Torao: Wait huh…!? No, no! What are you talking about…!

Director: But that music box was very convenient for us. I guess things like that do happen.

Mido Torao: But…But, what about the writing on the mirror and window!? The “can you hear me?” and “let me hear the rest”!?

Director: Huh, did we set something like that up?

Staff: No we did not…

Mido Torao: What? You’re joking!? 

Nanase Riku: Oh, I saw that! There was a little boy writing on the glass. 

Inumaru Touma: I saw Tora get super freaked out…Wait huh?

Mido Torao: See! ...Wait, what? A boy...?

Nanase Riku: Yes. About ten years old, I guess.

Director: We didn’t hire any child actors. We already had hit our budget limit.

Nanase Riku: Huh…?

Nanase Riku: …Oh.

Kujo Tenn: Stop right there Nanase-san.There are people in this world who don't like those kinds of encounters.

Nanase Riku: Ah, sorry! Please ignore what I just said, Mido-san!

Mido Torao: …I don’t understand this at all…

Nikaido Yamato: So in other words… there really was a boy’s spirit trapped in this mansion- 

Mido Torao: DON’T SAY THAT!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! IT’S NOT TR-

Boy’s voice: …Big brother…

Mido Torao: …!

Nikaido Yamato: Mido? What’s wrong?

Mido Torao: I… I just heard someone whisperi-

Boy’s voice: Thank you… for helping me remember my mother’s song.

Mido Torao: …Huh?

Boy’s voice: Goodbye…

Mido Torao: …I wonder if Haruka and Rokuya are doing okay? We don’t have a signal so I don’t know what’s happening over there.

Nikaido Yamato: This place had bad reception anyway. We’ll probably run into them sooner or later.

Nikaido Yamato: More importantly, we need to find the next clue.

Mido Torao: Yeah. I wanna wrap this up and go home already…

Nikaido Yamato: Same. The hallway splits ahead, right or left?

Mido Torao: …Right?

Nikaido Yamato: Right it is.

Clink…

Mido Torao: WAH!?

Nikaido Yamato: That music box just started playing on its own… right…?

Mido Torao: It’s supposed to be broken, maybe it’s a glitch…?

Nikaido Yamato: Hmm… let’s try going right anyway.

Mido Torao: Yeah.

BUZZER…

Mido Torao & Nikaido Yamato: HUH…!?

Nikaido Yamato: …Left?

(They turn left…)

Mido Torao & Nikaido Yamato: ………

Mido Torao: …It stopped. So right is a no-go... we’re supposed to go left? 

(They turn right…)

BUZZER…

Mido Torao & Nikaido Yamato: HUHHHH…!!

Nikaido Yamato: OK, t-this is definitely rigged. They’re totally guiding us.

Mido Torao: Yeah, no doubt about it!

Nikaido Yamato: Alright, let’s follow its rules then and go left.

.

Tap tap tap

Rokuya Nagi: Oh, Yamato! Mido-shi! A heartfelt reunion!!

Nikaido Yamato: Hey you guys!

Nikaido Yamato: Yep, I knew it. Following the music box was the right call.

Mido Torao: Yeah. Glad we could finally regroup.

Isumi Haruka: Waaa, so glad to see you guuuuys! We’ve been going through it on our end! I was genuinely worried.

Mido Torao: Really? You’re not injured, right?

Isumi Haruka: We’re fine! It was scary, but we found a huge clue!

Nikaido Yamato: A clue?

Rokuya Nagi: A blueprint of the entire mansion. It says the piano right here in the grand hall holds the key to everything. 

Nikaido Yamato: So it was right under our noses, huh. As for us, this music box started playing on its own… probably also a clue.

Rokuya Nagi: Fascinating.

Nikaido Yamato: Anyway, we’re back at square one.

Isumi Haruka: The blueprint said "sinking sound" refers to the low notes of the piano. So whatever we need should be on the left side. 

Mido Torao: I see… but visually there’s nothing special about it. Maybe it’s hidden inside?

Rokuya Nagi: Allow me.

Rustle rustle.

Nikaido Yamato: Nagi? Why are you sliding under the piano?

Rokuya Nagi: I’m inspecting the underside of the bass section… and yes, there is writing engraved in here.

Isumi Haruka: Huh, what does it say!?

Rokuya Nagi: “Sleeping right now, where it cannot be seen ”

Isumi Haruka: Another riddle!

Mido Torao: Haruka, your turn.

Nikaido Yamato: Yeah, you cracked the code for the blueprint, this should be a piece of cake for you. 

Isumi Haruka: …! Hehe, maybe!

Isumi Haruka: Alright, let’s solve this problem! Ummm…

Nikaido Yamato: …that kid’s actually really cute.

Mido Torao: Right?

Isumi Haruka: “Now”… “cannot be seen”…

Isumi Haruka: Oh, wait a sec!

Isumi Haruka: Rokuya-san, right now you’re lying flat on your back under the piano, looking straight up, right? 

Rokuya Nagi: Yes.

Isumi Haruka: That’s the key. What’s the one thing behind you right now that you can’t see?

Rokuya Nagi: Hmm… ah! There is indeed a blind spot…

Rokuya Nagi: The floor underneath me!

Isumi Haruka: THAT’S IT!!

Isumi Haruka: “Sleeping right now, where it cannot be seen”, in other words, the key is under the floorboards behind you!

Mido Torao & Nikaido Yamato: I see!!

Rokuya Nagi: Let’s check immediately.

Rokuya Nagi: Hmm… one of these floorboards looks slightly different. 

Mido Torao:It definitely looks newer than the rest. 

Rokuya Nagi: I shall remove it.

BANG!

Rokuya Nagi: A small wooden box!

Isumi Haruka: Whoa!!

Rokuya Nagi: Opening it… ready… and-

Rokuya Nagi: …Found it. We have the key!!

Isumi Haruka: We actually did it!!

Nikaido Yamato: Awesome! Incredible job, Isumi!

Isumi Haruka: Haha… I really solved it!

Mido Torao: So this key will unlock the piano and free the boy’s spirit?

Nikaido Yamato: We’re definitely closing in on the grand finale.

Rokuya Nagi: Here, Mido-shi. You should hold the key.

Mido Torao: Huh? Me!?

Rokuya Nagi: Yes. You are the star of this program, after all.

Mido Torao: Who decided that…?

Isumi Haruka: Hey, if you're too chicken to do it, I can unlock it. 

Mido Torao: …No. We’ve come this far. The truth is right in front of us.

Yaotome Gaku: Alright, looks like it’s our turn next. Let’s scare the pants off ‘em.

Yaotome Gaku: Osaka, you ready?

Osaka Sougo: Y-Yes…! I’m a little nervous, but I’ve practiced my cues, so I’ll do my absolute best. 

Osaka Sougo: Everyone watching at home, please brace yourselves!

Yaotome Gaku: Don’t change the channel!

.

Isumi Haruka: Hmm? This flashlight’s flickering.

Rokuya Nagi: It may be a loose battery contact. Let me have it.

Isumi Haruka: ? Sure.

Tap tap.

Rokuya Nagi: OK, fixed!

Isumi Haruka: Wow, nice! But… ain’t this a little too primitive for someone of your status?

Rokuya Nagi: It's a secret technique I once learned from Yamato.

Isumi Haruka: Huh… maybe I should try that next time my TV acts up.

Clack… clack…

Isumi Haruka: !? Did you hear that?

Rokuya Nagi: Yes. Something is tailing us.

Isumi Haruka: I can literally feel the killing intent too…

Rokuya Nagi: Shall we look back?

Isumi Haruka: Wait, I need a moment to prepare mentally…!

Rokuya Nagi: OK, deep breaths.

Isumi Haruka: Inhale… exhale… alright. On three.

Rokuya Nagi: Understood. One… two… three!

Rokuya Nagi & Isumi Haruka: !?

Isumi Haruka: Huh? Nobody’s there…

Rokuya Nagi: How strange…

Isumi Haruka: Guess it was just my imagination. Let’s keep going-

Isumi Haruka: WHA-!? WHY-WHY-WHY’S IT IN FRONT OF US NOW!?

Grim Reaper: ………

Rokuya Nagi: A black cloak and a giant scythe…! a textbook Grim Reaper!

Isumi Haruka: Why are you getting excited!?

Clack.

Isumi Haruka: It’s raising the scythe!!

Grim Reaper: Listen well… the sands of your life’s hourglass have already run out. 

Grim Reaper: Fodder for my blade, yield your souls to me! 

SWOOSH!

Isumi Haruka: H-Hey!! STOP!!

Rokuya Nagi: WOW, such dynamic yet precise movement! That technique looks very familiar…Now where have I seen it…

SWOOSH!

Isumi Haruka: WHOA-!! UGH!!

Isumi Haruka: Rokuya-san!! Do something about this guy!!

Rokuya Nagi: ………

Rokuya Nagi: OH, I remember! This is exactly like the choreography from Crescent Wolf!!

Isumi Haruka: ROKUYAAAA-SAAAN!!

Rokuya Nagi: Left dodge! Now right! And a backstep!

Isumi Haruka: H-how are you reading its moves!?

Rokuya Nagi: I’ve watched Crescent Wolf’s fight scenes many times! But no time now, run!!

Dash dash dash

.

Isumi Haruka: Hah… hah… did we lose it!?

Rokuya Nagi: It appears so. We narrowly escaped.

Isumi Haruka: Phew... man, that gave me flashbacks to Halloween Night at Usamimi Friends Park... 

CLICK.

Rokuya Nagi & Isumi Haruka: !?

Isumi Haruka: Not again! What is that sound!?

Rokuya Nagi: Someone is ahead. Show yourself!

VVVVVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRR

Isumi Haruka: A CHAINSAW!?

Rokuya Nagi: WOW, very authentic.

Isumi Haruka: IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED!? THAT’S WAY TOO DANGEROUS!!

Chainsaw Man: (Isumi-san, don't worry. The chainsaw is a prop, the noise is sound effects from the speakers.) 

Chainsaw Man: Well then…Let’s get this party started…

RUN…RUN…RUN..

Isumi Haruka: AAAAAHHHHHHHH, IT’S COMIIIIIIIING!!

TAP TAP TAP

Chainsaw Man: Out of the way.

SHINK!

Isumi Haruka: A vase just got sliced clean in half?! THAT IS DEFINITELY A REAL CHAINSAW!! 

Chainsaw Man: (Perfect timing… The staff did great with that prop.)

Rokuya Nagi: Such incredible mastery over heavy weaponry! A true expert indeed!?

TAP TAP TAP

Isumi Haruka: STOP!! DON’T COME ANY CLOSER!!

Rokuya Nagi: HALT!! We are caught between two pursuers!!

Isumi Haruka: Huh!?

Grim Reaper: …Heh heh… give up.

Chainsaw Man: Allow me to escort you to the afterlife.

Isumi Haruka: WHYYY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US!?

Rokuya Nagi: This narrow hallway gives us no escape…

Rokuya Nagi: Isumi-shi, any ideas!?

Isumi Haruka: IDEAS!?

Isumi Haruka: We’re trapped, blocked from both sides… wait!

Isumi Haruka: A hidden door!?

Rokuya Nagi: Such a thing exists here!?

Isumi Haruka: Video games ALWAYS have one of those around places like this!!

Rokuya Nagi: Perhaps behind that tapestry!?

Isumi Haruka: THAT’S IT!!

SWISH

Isumi Haruka: …No door…

Rokuya Nagi: Indeed, a solid wall.

Rokuya Nagi: But wait, there’s a blueprint instead.

Isumi Haruka: That doesn’t help at all!! We’re totally done for!! It’s so over…!

Rokuya Nagi: No… that may not be the case.

Isumi Haruka: Huh?

Isumi Haruka: They’re gone… Why?

Rokuya Nagi: Perhaps they were guiding us to this blueprint all along.

Isumi Haruka: Then just SAY IT normally!!

Rokuya Nagi: It appears to be a full layout of the mansion. There is a red mark in the grand hall.

Isumi Haruka: And there’s something written next to it, “The root of sound. The sinking tone calls the key.”...?

Rokuya Nagi: Root of sound… meaning the piano.

Isumi Haruka: “Sinking tone”… low notes… right!?

Rokuya Nagi: The lower register on the left side of the piano . The key may be there.

Isumi Haruka: Wow, it really is turning into a real escape room!!

Rokuya Nagi: Yes! Let us head to the grand hall!

Mido Torao: Hey, Nikaido...

Nikaido Yamato: Hmm?

Mido Torao: ...This sign says "Do Not Enter."

Nikaido Yamato: Sure does.

Mido Torao: That's not what I meant. This is definitely bad news! We absolutely shouldn't go in there!

Nikaido Yamato: Why would they bother putting a sign in a hallway like this?

Nikaido Yamato: Which means it's definitely something. Quit dragging your feet and let’s go .

Mido Torao: Tch...!

Nikaido Yamato: Whoa, it's so dusty and damp here.

Mido Torao: Yeah... and what’s with this creepy atmosphere...!

Nikaido Yamato: Well, it’s exactly the kinda room where you'd expect something to pop out. 

Mido Torao: Don't say that!

.

.

CREAK.

Mido Torao: Whoa! That shelf just fell over!

Nikaido Yamato: They’re throwing actual jumpscares in too!?

Mido Torao: They’re pulling every possible trick to terrorize us...

Creepy Voice: Hehe... ahaha... big brother is here...

Mido Torao & Nikaido Yamato: !?

Nikaido Yamato: Did you hear that?

Mido Torao: No! Must've been the wind!

Nikaido Yamato: Liar! Don't escape reality because you're scared!

Clatter clatter clatter.

Creepy Voice: Big brother... let's... play...

Mido Torao: Whoa...!?

Nikaido Yamato: A-A doll is coming toward us with a knife!?

Mido Torao: (I-I know this is staged but this is crazy, hello!?)

May Doll: I like your body... Can I have it?

CLATTER CLATTER CLATTER CLATTER

Mido Torao: EEK! IT’S COMING THIS WAY!

Mido Torao: (WHY’D THEY PUT THIS MUCH BUDGET INTO A MOVING TALKING DOLL!?)

Mido Torao: Sorry, but go find someone else! Unfortunately I actually like this body!

Nikaido Yamato: I mean, you do have impressive muscles, Mido! 

Mido Torao: NOT THE ISSUE HERE! Do something about the knife!

Nikaido Yamato: Dude, I’m terrified too!

Nikaido Yamato: (Mido’s fully aware it's staged now and is starting to loosen up. I want some great footage... might as well play along. )

Nikaido Yamato: Actually... I'm kinda weak against creepy dolls...

May Doll: Yamatonii-chan?

Nikaido Yamato: AAAAAHH!?

THUD

Mido Torao: !? Are you okay!?

Nikaido Yamato: Shit... I hurt my back... I can't get up...

Mido Torao: You've gotta be kidding me!?

May Doll: Yamatonii-chan, wanna play?

May Doll: Hehe, okay. I'll. play. with. you. Lots.

CLANK CLANK

Mido Torao: Nikaido!!

Nikaido Yamato: Don't come any closer!

Mido Torao: !?

Nikaido Yamato: I'm done for. Leave me... and run!

Mido Torao: No way...!

CLANK CLANK

Nikaido Yamato: …Don’t hurt me too much.

Mido Torao: N-Nikaido…! I can’t leave you behind, gimme your hand!!

Nikaido Yamato: Shut up!!

Nikaido Yamato: You got a mission to accomplish, right? ...Take care of the boy's regret.

Mido Torao: ...!!

Mido Torao: (What am I doing?)

Mido Torao: (I know it's fake, but my legs won't move. I'm the one who’s supposed to be saving Nikaido here...!)

May Doll: Don't worry. You'll stop feeling pain soon.

Nikaido Yamato: Ggh...!

Mido Torao: (But... I've overcome worse than this.)

Mido Torao: (Those guys taught me that if I give it my all, I can do anything.)

Mido Torao: (...I can do this!)

Nikaido Yamato: Uwaaa!!

Mido Torao: NOTHING’S IMPOSSIBLE!!

SWOOSH!

Nikaido Yamato: Whoa!? A princess carry!?

Nikaido Yamato: (Okay, I did NOT see this coming!!)

Mido Torao: We're getting the hell out of here! I'm getting both of us out safely!!

.

Nanase Riku: Wow, Mido-san is amazing! That was so cool!

Inumaru Touma: Tora's doing so well…! Man, I'm getting emotional…!

Osaka Sougo: I didn't know Mido-san was so good at variety acting.

Nanase Riku: Kujo-san's voice acting was incredible too! That was super scary!

Kujo Tenn: Fufu. It was a bit challenging doing it live, but I quite enjoyed it.

Kujo Tenn: Also, Inumaru-san almost knocked the shelf right onto Mido-san in that storage room.

Inumaru Touma: Sorry, Tora. It was dark and I couldn't see a thing…! but that shelf’s painted styrofoam so it’s light as hell!

.

Mido Torao: Hah... hah... I really thought I was done for...!!

Nikaido Yamato: You did great, Mido. At this point you can definitely join the film club's next horror movie night. 

Mido Torao: How does that make any sense!? And what happened to your back?!

Nikaido Yamato: Huh!? Oh... Would you look at that, I think it's healed.

Mido Torao: Unbelievable...

Mido Torao: ...Hm?

Nikaido Yamato: What is it?

Mido Torao: Something rolled against my foot... it's a music box.

Nikaido Yamato: Looks ancient.

Mido Torao: Something’s engraved on it… "From mom."

Mido Torao: I'll try winding it.

Clink... clink...

Mido Torao: ...Huh? It stopped halfway.

Nikaido Yamato: Looks like it's broken.

Mido Torao: Yeah...

.

Director: Man, Torao-kun and Yamato-kun were phenomenal. We got some great footage thanks to them.

Director: Wait... did we even set up a music box like that?

Staff: No sir, we didn't.

Tap tap tap.

Nikaido Yamato: It's officially night time now.

Rokuya Nagi: Indeed. The staff has dimmed the lighting to an absolute minimum. Without these flashlights, we would be completely blind.

Mido Torao: Sigh... They keep saying we need to help him cross over but how are we even supposed to do that...!?

Nikaido Yamato: First, we need to figure out what regrets the boy had. There are probably clues hidden somewhere.

Isumi Haruka: Doesn't this feel kind of like an escape room? I'm actually starting to have fun a little bit.

Rokuya Nagi: Yes! This is getting exciting. Let us split up and search for clues!

Mido Torao: You guys have way too much energy...

.

Yaotome Gaku: Oh, looks like they're finally getting down to business.

Kujo Tenn: Isumi-san's getting really into it. You can tell he's enjoying himself.

Osaka Sougo: Could it be that Mido-san is actually the type who's afraid of ghosts? You wouldn’t guess.

Yaotome Gaku: That’s why prank shows are so good. Mido's usually so cool and confident, but right now he's jumping like a frightened rabbit.

Inumaru Touma: Seriously though, what was Tora losing his mind over a minute ago? He was staring at that window even though we didn’t set up anything in it

Nanase Riku: Huh? Oh, that's-

Isumi Haruka (over the monitor): Guys! I found something that looks like a clue!!

Osaka Sougo: Ah! Isumi-kun's holding something up on the monitor!

Nanase Riku: Camera crew, zoom in please!

.

Pat pat pat.

Isumi Haruka: Hey, look at this! I found it back in the kids’ room!

Nikaido Yamato: A notebook... Is it a diary?

Rokuya Nagi: Oh? Please open it.

Flip, flip.

Isumi Haruka: "I couldn't play the piano today. I really wanted Mom to hear me play. "

Mido Torao: ...A piano?

Rokuya Nagi: Hmm... There was a grand piano in the main hall, was there not?

Rokuya Nagi: If "not being able to play" is supposed to indicate something, there might be something hidden over there .

Nikaido Yamato: Let's go check it out.

.

Isumi Haruka: There it is! The grand piano!

Rokuya Nagi: It appears to be quite old. It's covered in dust as well, as though nobody has touched it for years.

Mido Torao: The keyboard cover won't open. We probably need a key…

Isumi Haruka: This has to be connected to the boy's regret, right!?

Nikaido Yamato: Then let’s go find the key, then we'll be one step closer to helping him pass on.

Clink... roll...

Mido Torao: There it goes again...! Did you guys hear that music box?

Nikaido Yamato: Huh? I didn't hear anything.

Rokuya Nagi: Neither did I.

Isumi Haruka: Are you sure you're not just so freaked out that you're mistaking the wind for something else?

Mido Torao: Huh...? Y-Yeah... maybe.

Nikaido Yamato: Alright, let's split into two groups from here. Me and Mido. Nagi and Isumi. Sound good?

Rokuya Nagi: Yes! Let us work together and find that key!

Isumi Haruka: Yeah!

Tap tap tap.

Nikaido Yamato: Come on, quit spacing out. Let's get moving.

Mido Torao: R-Right...

Mido Torao: W-We can't leave...?

Nikaido Yamato: Wow. I didn't expect them to go this hard on the storyline.

Isumi Haruka: Wait, you’re telling me we have to stay in his creepy place the entire night...? N-No way!

Rokuya Nagi: A Ghost-busting Mission...! How exciting!

.

Nanase Riku: Ahaha. Look, Yamato-san and Haruka-kun look genuinely scared!

Yaotome Gaku: Doesn't seem like they expected the "you can't go home" twist.

Inumaru Touma: I wonder if anyone's figured out it's a prank yet. Even I am getting nervous watching this.

Osaka Sougo: Everyone's shaken up, but Nagi-kun looks like he's actually enjoying himself.

Kujo Tenn: Hehe. Let's make sure we pull off our part perfectly. As the masterminds behind this prank.

.

Master of the Mansion: Now then... Once upon a time, a kind-hearted boy lived in this very mansion. He was incredibly frail, and sadly passed away at a young age.

Nikaido Yamato: (Oh boy, here comes the classic horror story exposition.)

Isumi Haruka: (Did they really need to elaborate an entire lore for this..!?)

Isumi Haruka: (I know it’s a prank but it’s still freaky!)

Master of the Mansion: Ever since that day, the boy's soul has remained trapped within these walls, casting a dark curse over every resident who dared to live here.

Master of the Mansion: However... If we can fulfill his final, lingering regrets, he should finally be able to pass on peacefully.

Rokuya Nagi: I see. So that is why you require our assistance.

Mistress of the Mansion: Please... save that poor child's soul! You're our only hope!

Mido Torao: Only... hope? How does that make any sense...?

Mido Torao: (What kinda setup is this anyway...? A curse...? Helping a spirit pass on...?)

Mido Torao: (...Hm? Why’s the director grinning like that? The staff look like they're actively holding back their laughter...)

Mido Torao: (Ah! Could it be...!?)

Nikaido Yamato: (So he finally figured it out.)

Rokuya Nagi: (I see. He's pretending he only realized it now. What a professional entertainer.)

Isumi Haruka: (Took you long enough.)

Nikaido Yamato: (To be fair though, even if the ghost stuff is a prank, the “we can’t go home” part feels pretty real.)

Mido Torao: (So that's what this is...!)

Mido Torao: ...Thank goodness.

Nikaido Yamato: Huh?

Mido Torao: (Thank goodness it's not actually a ghost...)

Mika: You'll help him, right, big brothers?

Nikaido Yamato: (Well, if we're doing this, we might as well have fun. I’m an actor so I’ll give it everything I’ve got.)

Nikaido Yamato: Of course! We'll make sure he rests in peace!

Rokuya Nagi: Leave everything to us, little princess.

Isumi Haruka: Ggh... I'll do my best too...

.

Nikaido Yamato: Whoa, those blankets weren't here before, were they? They’re really loading us up to make sure we’re comfortable.

Isumi Haruka: I didn't even bring my phone charger...

Nikaido Yamato: Nagi, what's with the long face? You don't look too happy.

Rokuya Nagi: Yamato... Until a moment ago, I had foolishly forgotten something of grave importance. 

Rokuya Nagi: Tonight is the special broadcast celebrating the release of Kokona's movie.

Nikaido Yamato: Seriously? But you set up your DVR, right?

Rokuya Nagi: Of course. However, watching it live is the duty of a true believer. We must solve this mansion's mystery and get back to the dorms before it airs. 

Nikaido Yamato: Fair point. Let's wrap this ghost story up and go back home.

Nikaido Yamato: Besides, it seems our managers were in on this from the start.

Isumi Haruka: Seriously, Utsugi-san was all, “It can't be helped. I know you have work tomorrow, but helping the spirit takes priority.”?!

Mido Torao: Can't really blame him. Utsugi-san's just doing his job.

Isumi Haruka: Yes I can! And why are you so calm about this?!

Nikaido Yamato: Mido’s been in a great mood ever since he figured out the ghost shenanigans are fake.

Mido Torao: T-That's not true.

Rokuya Nagi: Oh? Everyone, look.

Rokuya Nagi: There are cameras mounted on the ceiling now. They definitely weren't there before.

Nikaido Yamato: Oh wow, they're monitoring us that closely?

Nikaido Yamato: (Shows like this require the plot to move along whenever the cameras are pointing at the guests...)

Nikaido Yamato: Which means we don't have any time to sit around.

Isumi Haruka: Ugh...

Rokuya Nagi: Then let us begin the mission!

Mido Torao: (Before that... I need to calm down a little.)

Mido Torao: I'm gonna go wash my face. I'll be right back.

Creak... creak...

Mido Torao: Damn it, why is it so dark in here...?

Clink... roll...

Mido Torao: Wah!? What was that...? It sounded like... a music box?

Whoooosh... creak creak...

Mido Torao: The window's fogging up...?

Scratch scratch scratch.

Mido Torao: H-Huh...!? N-No way. There's words appearing on the glass again...!

Mido Torao: "Let me hear... the rest..."?

Mido Torao: A…AaaAAAAHHHHHHH!!

Thud thud thud!

Mido Torao: Hah... hah... damn it...! They are going way, way over-the-top with these special effects ...!!

Squeak, squeak.

Nikaido Yamato: Would you look at that, this spoon is sparkling clean. What do you think?

Rokuya Nagi: Hmm, you missed a spot on the handle.

Nikaido Yamato: Ah, you're right....Hey wait, why don't you chip in and do some polishing?!

Clink

Mido Torao: (What did that kid mean earlier...? Saying someone was "crying" here...)

Isumi Haruka: Your hands stopped moving.

Mido Torao: Ah, yeah. Sorry.

Isumi Haruka: ...You’ve been acting kinda out of it for a while now, now?

Mido Torao: N-Not really. I'm just focusing.

Isumi Haruka: You usually look a whole lot scarier when you’re “just focusing”.

Mido Torao: .........

Mido Torao: !?

Isumi Haruka: Whoa, a blackout? That scared me.

Nikaido Yamato: Looks like it. Did the breaker trip?

Rokuya Nagi: I think it’s pitch black outside as well.

CRASH!

Mido Torao: Whoa!? Something just broke!

Isumi Haruka: A teacup maybe...? Wait, why would randomly break though?!

Rokuya Nagi: NO! Not those beautiful saucers...!

Mido Torao: ......!!

Nikaido Yamato: (A creepy noise right after the power cuts out... And those night-vision cameras are rolling.)

Nikaido Yamato: (...I see. So that's what's going on. Let's spice things up a bit if that’s what they’re plotting.)

Nikaido Yamato: Hey... could this be a poltergeist?! (1)

Isumi Haruka: Huh!?

Isumi Haruka: A poltergeist...? D-Don't tell me you mean a ghost-

Mido Torao: No way! Stop chatting nonsense!

Rattle-rattle-rattle.

Mido Torao: ......!?

Isumi Haruka: Aaaah!! A bunch of stuff just fell over!

Rokuya Nagi: Isumi-shi, calm down. In my homeland, a "haunted mansion" adds a lot of value to the property.

Rokuya Nagi: We should be thrilled, not frightened.

Isumi Haruka: We’re in Japan though!

Mido Torao: ......!!

Director: Everyone, the power's back! Nobody's hurt right?!

Nikaido Yamato: Yep, we're all good.

Director: Great. We'll pause filming for a moment. Could you please wait in the dressing room while we clean this up?

Mido Torao: .........

Nikaido Yamato: Mido, aren't you a little pale? You okay?

Mido Torao: Really? You're seeing things.

Nikaido Yamato: You've been restless this whole time.

Mido Torao: You're seeing things.

Nikaido Yamato: You've been looking around nervously, too.

Mido Torao: You're totally seeing things.

Nikaido Yamato: And your breathing's a little heavy.

Mido Torao: You're hearing things.

Nikaido Yamato: .........

Mido Torao: ...What?

Isumi Haruka: Torao, you're terrified, aren't you? I'm bad with spooky stuff so I totally get you. This place gives me the creeps.

Mido Torao: I'm not that scared...

Nikaido Yamato: There are no cameras in here, so you can drop the act. You’re totally obvious anyways.

Mido Torao: It's not fear, exactly. I just... have a bad history with this kind of stuff. I dislike it. A tiny bit. A teeny tiny bit.

Nikaido Yamato: Dislike it?

Rokuya Nagi: Hmm, a "bad history." You look like you are practically begging us to ask what happened.

Isumi Haruka: What's that supposed to mean? Is there a reason you hate it so much?

Mido Torao: ......

Nikaido Yamato: Come on, spill. We won't laugh.

Mido Torao: ......Sigh... Fine.

Mido Torao: When I was a kid... after everyone went to sleep, I used to sneak around and stay up late every night watching hero shows.

Mido Torao: So the concierge started threatening me, saying, "If you don't go to bed right now, a ghost will come get you."

Mido Torao: But I figured my father or brothers had put him up to it.

Nikaido Yamato: Oh boy, so that’s the deal. Sounds like you grew up pretty pampered, Mido.

Mido Torao: So I assumed it was just a bluff and kept staying up late, completely ignoring him.

Mido Torao: And then... one night, a ghost actually appeared outside my window.

Isumi Haruka: What?! That's terrifying!!

Mido Torao: Well, later they admitted it was just the concierge dressed up like a ghost because my father asked him to…

Mido Torao: But I seriously haven't been able to handle ghosts since then.

Isumi Haruka: They just straight up traumatized you!

Nikaido Yamato: I get it now. That's why you bailed every time the film club did horror movie nights.

Mido Torao: Yeah. Pretty much.

Knock knock.

Mido Torao: ......!

Staff Member: Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone. We're ready to resume filming.

Master of the Mansion: Everyone... as you may have already realized...

Master of the Mansion: This mansion is... cursed!

Mido Torao: Wait, what...?

Nikaido Yamato: (...Haha, I knew it. The cameras are rolling and he’s way over the top.)

Isumi Haruka: (Why are Nikaido-san and Rokuya-san looking at each other like that...? Ah! Could it be...)

Rokuya Nagi: (So it is a classic prank. ...This is turning out to be quite entertaining.)

Mido Torao: Wait a second! What do you mean it's cursed?!

Nikaido Yamato: (Ain’t no way he’s actually buying into this!)

Isumi Haruka: (Torao! This is obviously a horror prank!!)

Nikaido Yamato: (A staff member’s gonna walk in holding a "Prank Successful!" sign any second now.)

Rokuya Nagi: (Mido-shi, that is a spectacular reaction.)

Mistress of the Mansion: To lift the curse, you must help the soul of a boy who died in this mansion... find peace and pass on.

Nikaido Yamato: ...Huh? Pass on? Wait a sec, this is more elaborate than the average prank…

Master of the Mansion: Indeed. Until the boy's soul is laid to rest...

Master of the Mansion: None of you can leave!

Rokuya Nagi, Mido Torao, Nikaido Yamato, & Isumi Haruka: !?

Rokuya Nagi, Mido Torao, Nikaido Yamato, & Isumi Haruka: HUHHHHHHHHHHHH?!

To be continued...

Rokuya Nagi, Mido Torao, Nikaido Yamato & Isumi Haruka: Welcome to the Blackford Mansion.

Mido Torao: This is “THE 1DAY JOBS”, a variety show where idols spend a day trying out different professions. As you can see, we're butlers this time.

Mido Torao: We’ll provide you an exquisitely unforgettable experience.

Nikaido Yamato: What do you think of our butler uniforms? Onii-san over here will serve you with all his heart, milady.

Isumi Haruka: I don't really get this whole hospitality thing, but I'll do whatever you ask, just for today.

Rokuya Nagi: Good afternoon, my sweet! Please enjoy our special hospitality to the very end!

Mido Torao: Did you guys hear? Apparently they picked the most noble-looking IDOLiSH7 and ŹOOĻ representatives for this episode.

Nikaido Yamato: Really!? I totally get why Nagi was picked but...You’d think Ichi or Sou would be more fitting candidates for this.

Rokuya Nagi: No, no. Yamato is an excellent casting choice. Justice for butlers in glasses.

Nikaido Yamato: So you only care about the glasses!?

Isumi Haruka: I kinda get it though. Nikaido-san screams “reliable”.

Nikaido Yamato: Haha, thanks for that. Well then, let's get this show rollin’. Another day of...

Rokuya Nagi, Mido Torao, Nikaido Yamato & Isumi Haruka: “THE 1DAY JOBS”!!

.

Staff Member: Cut! The opening's good! The host family is coming in now!

Master of the Mansion: Welcome, everyone. I look forward to having you take care of our household today.

Mistress of the Mansion: Having such wonderful butlers serve us feels like a dream.

Daughter of the Mansion: My name's Mika. Nice to meet you! (1)

Nikaido Yamato: Nice to meet you too.

Mido Torao: If you need anything, just let me know anytime.

.

Nanase Riku: Hello, everyone watching at home! We’re also here today to support them!

Inumaru Touma: We’re in the green room cheerin’ for them through the monitors!

Osaka Sougo: Everyone looks wonderful in their tailcoats. They look like professional butlers.

Yaotome Gaku: Yeah! They look pretty sharp.

Kujo Tenn: Gaku would suit the look too, don't you think? You should volunteer if they host another butler episode.

Nanase Riku: Te- Kujo-san’s elegant face would suit the fit too!

Kujo Tenn: Really? Thank you. I think you’d suit the butler look too.

Nanase Riku: Ehehe, I wonder!

Osaka Sougo: Oh, it looks like they're starting the work segment now.

Nanase Riku: Oh yeah!

Kujo Tenn: Dear viewers, we actually prepared something special for this episode.

Inumaru Touma: That's right. We kept it secret from Tora and the others though!

Osaka Sougo: We'll do our best, so we'd be happy if you stayed with us until the end!

Nanase Riku: And now, back to the set footage!

.

Mistress of the Mansion: Oh my, what a lovely aroma. It smells like Darjeeling but with a bit more depth than usual.

Mido Torao: I slightly adjusted the brewing time to bring out the fragrance. I made sure to set the perfect temperature as well.

Mistress of the Mansion: ...My, that's wonderful. Yes, it's absolutely delicious.

Mido Torao: I'm glad it pleases you.

Mika: Yamatonii-chan, Harukanii-chan! Let's make a room for Mister Bear together!

Nikaido Yamato: That sounds adorable. We'd be happy to help, milady.

Isumi Haruka: Is that your favorite teddy bear?

Mika: Yup! We've been together since I was born.

Isumi Haruka: Then let's start with the bed! This pillow looks super comfy don’tcha thi… Don’t you think?

Mika: You might be right! There's another one just like it over there. I'll go get it!

Isumi Haruka: ‘kay... I mean, very well!

Isumi Haruka: Oh, Nikaido-san. This blanket looks kinda useful right? We could spread it out and turn it into a tent!

Nikaido Yamato: Why not? Haha. It's like we've got another young master here.

Isumi Haruka: Wh- I’m just doing my job...!

.

Rokuya Nagi: Master, the roses in your garden are truly magnificent.

Master of the Mansion: Oh my, you can tell? I love enjoying my morning tea while gazing upon these roses.

Rokuya Nagi: Admiring something precious for an extended time is a very healing experience. I also have a sacred altar in my room.

Rokuya Nagi: No matter how tired I am at the end of the day, looking at it encourages me to do my best again the next day.

Master of the Mansion: An altar... in your room? Is it some kind of miniature collection?

Rokuya Nagi: In a broad sense, you could say that.

Master of the Mansion: I am sure there is joy in collecting things as well. It’s a blessing to watch something you enjoy gradually increase.

Rokuya Nagi: Indeed. Sometimes I line up three hours before a store opens on release day, but that too is part of the bliss.

Master of the Mansion: Three whole hours...? How remarkable! Would you mind telling me more about what you collect?

Rokuya Nagi: Yes! I’d be very happy to!

.

Squeak squeak.

Mido Torao: (Phew... I can’t believe they’re even making us polish mirrors as part of the butler experience.)

Mido Torao: (Still, the more I polish the shinier they get, this is kinda satisfying...)

Mido Torao: Hm?

Mido Torao: What's this? Something’s showing up in the mirror... "Can you hear it?"

Nikaido Yamato: Hey, Mido. Are you done over there?

Mido Torao: Ah, no...

Mido Torao: Huh? The text disappeared. Was I…hallucinating?

Mika: Hey, Toraonii-chan!

Mido Torao: !? W-What is it?

Mika: You know, when it gets dark, a "crying person" appears in this mansion.

Mido Torao: ...A crying person?

Mika: Yup! See you later!

Pitter patter.

Mido Torao: Wuh...?

Whooooosh!

Mido Torao: (I never thought I’d experience something like this while shooting...)

Mido Torao: (At that moment, I didn’t even know what was coming.)

To be continued...
