Oh, there they are!
Heeey! Over here!
Hello, Mizuki...
*Yawn*... So sleepy...
How can you have this much energy this early?
Good morning...
Morning, Mafuyu! Looks like everyone's right on time!
So let's get this show on the road♪
Just where exactly are you taking us?
It'd sorta stop being a mystery tour if I told you, wouldn't it? You'll just have to wait and find out♪
Anyways, let's go!
We've been on this thing for an eternity...
Can't you just tell us where we're going already? All I see are farms and rice paddies now. Are we going into the mountains or something?
Patience is a virtue, Ena.
You should be trying to imagine what sort of fun-filled adventure I have in store for us.
But we're almost there...
Maybe this is a good time to tell you.
Yes, finally. You've already made us wait this long.
Ahem. For today's little excursion...
We'll be checking out a haunted area that everyone's been talking about♪
H-Haunted...?
What?! Why somewhere that's haunted?!
Relax. There's a reason I picked this place.
A reason...?
Remember how I met Ena's li'l bro during the School Festival?
His class did a haunted house that time.
So I thought a little test of courage might do us some good♪
But the truth is that you just want to go, don't you?
That's another way to put it☆
You...!
Is there a problem...?
Huh?
If it'll help Kanade with her music, I don't think where we go matters.
Oh...
I'm sorry for putting you all through this...
No, Kanade, don't say that!
Blame Mizuki for dragging us all the way out here...
Yeah, it's totally okay!
I've sort of been wanting to go on a trip with everyone like this!
And relax, Ena!
This place might be haunted, but there's supposed to be a ton of good photo ops too♪
That's not what I have a problem with!!
This place... I'm starting to get a bad feeling...
Seriously, are we gonna be okay...?
Haha! Perfect! This place really doesn't disappoint!
This spot in particular seems to be pretty famous. They say that a bunch of accidents and stuff keep happening here because people keep seeing ghosts!
Oh, here's that hole they were talking about. Apparently, a car crashed right into here. Pretty eerie...
What...? So you're saying that a ghost made that crash happen...?
Let's go in.
What?! Seriously?!
Anything for Kanade's sake.
Will it help?
Um...
If we're doing a horror theme...
The intro can include a double bass, people screaming in a few places and...
S-See! It won't really help her! We don't have to go in!
Do you think that song can save anyone?
...
Kanade, let's go.
O-Okay...
Fine, horror it is!!
(Geez, this tunnel's so long...
It's the middle of the day, but pitch black in here...)
It's just an old tunnel...
Just?
Doesn't it feel... Evil?
Oh, right. They say that the ghost here is of a woman with really long hair...
Wait, what are you saying...?
They say that she looks like a regular person, so people end up asking her if something's wrong...
She apparently mumbles some stuff and these people always end up trying to hear what she's saying...
Which is...?
She softly says, The pain...
And the ones who heard her speak all ended up...
Ended up what...?
Who knows...
What?! What do you mean, Who Knows?!
And why are you telling us that in a place like this?!
Hahaha. Okay, sorry.
We'll be fine. I promise.
See? There's the exit so...
Eep!!
Wait, is someone there?!
Whoa! Calm down, Ena!
B-B-But...! Something moved and...!!
It was a tanuki...
Huh?
It ran off in that direction.
It kicked the can and made it rattle.
*Sigh*... Just a tanuki?
I got worked up over nothing...
Haha. You should've seen the look on your face...!
Hm...?
Hm? What's up, Mafuyu?
Where's Kanade?
She was right next to me.
What?!
Wait, are you sure?
Heeey! Kanade!
She's not responding...
Where'd she go?
She might be lost. We can't just leave her like this! I'll go look while you two head for the exit!
I'll go too...
Wait, hey...!
Just me...?! All alone...?!
Wh-What do I do...?
But the exit's right here, so as long as I can make it there...
Eep!
Oh, nevermind. It was just a leaf...
*Sigh*... Why me...?
Huh?
...
(Is someone there?
Mizuki and Mafuyu went the other way so...)
K-Kanade...?
The...
The pain... The pain...
Wait, Th-The Pain...?
No, is this what Mizuki was...?!
N-Noooooooo...!!!!
