Location: Theater Room



Hajime: Let’s see…

Mm, the treats and tea are good to go. If it’s watching a movie we’re talking about, these kinds of things are a must-have.

I’m always happy to hear Tori-kun say ‘Everything you make is delicious!’, so I made sure to prepare plenty of sweets for us. ♪

I wonder what kind of film we should watch later.

(Hmm~, everything seems to catch my eye, so I got over-excited and picked out films one after another without noticing it…)

Even if we chose to watch all these, it’s practically impossible with the time we have.

It’d be a good idea to narrow it down to two or three from this pile, and I’ll let Tori-kun pick from them once he arrives.

Well then, which should I choose…?

This movie’s got good reviews about it, and I’ve been meaning to watch it for a while now. Without a doubt, I should take this first.

And then… Ah, Tori-kun would probably love this one. Let’s keep it aside for now.

Next… if it’s a movie that I like, then surely Tori-kun would like to watch it, too. I’ll choose this one, of course.

Hmm, now… Ah, Tori-kun loves dogs, he’d ought to be delighted if I picked this anime about a dog for him! I’ll add this on as well.

Mm, there’s a good selection of different genres here, he’ll definitely be interested in some of them. ♪

Now then. I’ve gotten everything ready for our movie, but there’s still some time before we promised to meet up. What can I do now?

Ah, that’s right! I should help with some cleaning up around here. It is rather dusty, after all.

Though it’s quite a large amenity, it doesn’t seem to be in use very often. Maybe it’s too elaborate for some people’s liking, and they’d rather watch comfortably in their own homes.

Time to make this place sparkling clean~!

Hajime: Fuuh… This should be good enough, everything’s pretty again.

(Hmm~… I found this while I was cleaning…)

(An unlabeled disc was sitting on top of the deck, what kind of disc could it possibly be? Could someone have forgotten it here?)

Tori: Oi~, Hajime. I’m here. Sorry to make you wait!

Hajime: Ah, Tori-kun. I didn’t wait long at all~. I’m the one who couldn’t wait around and came too early.

Tori: Hm? The disc you’re holding… Are we gonna watch that? What kind of movie is it?

Hajime: Oh, we’re not watching this one. While I was doing some tidying up, I found this on the deck all alone… I think someone might’ve left it behind.

Tori: That sounds super interesting, though! Hey, Hajime. Let’s find out what’s in it. ♪

Hajime: Huh? But… It’s not good to be selfish like that. We don’t know if there could be something private and personal in it.

Tori: Eh~? Only bad guys would forget something like that, right?

Besides, if we took a peek right here, we might know who it belongs to? And once we do, we can return the disc back to its owner.

Hajime: W-Well, I guess…

Tori: See~. Wouldn’t its owner be troubled if they couldn’t find it all of a sudden?

I’d feel pretty bad for them. So, don’t think that we’re being a pair of troublemakers, we’re trying to help someone here.

Don’t be too glum about it, Hajime. We’ll only watch a little bit, okay?

Hajime: Uu… You’re just going to watch a short part of it, right, Tori-kun?

Tori: Yup, once we get a hint of the rightful owner, I’ll shut it off immediately.

Hajime: In that case, um… Slide the disc in, start it up and ––

Tori: Hm? W-What a dark, creepy video… Even the quality looks super old…

Hajime: Huh? This video…

Tori: First a woman combing her hair, then some letters moving around all insect-like, and a close-up of some eyes.

A bunch of weird scenes are playing one after another… What’s up with this, I’m getting a bad feeling about this…

Mm? It’s a pitch-black lake this time…? Super creepy––

Tori: Huh…

Wh- Whu? Huh!?

H-Hold on a second!? A long-haired lady just came out of the lake!?

She’s making her way to us…! Isn’t she getting closer and closer!? At this rate, she’ll be right in front of us––

W-Wait! Don’t get any closer! I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared!

Hajime: Aahhh!

Tori: UnyaaAAAAAAA!?

Ha-HajimeeEEE! Don’t raise your voice like that all of a sudden! Y-You scared the life outta me!

Hajime: I just remembered where this disc came from!

There’s this certain movie which is said to be the golden standard of Japanese horror. To tell you the truth, I was appointed a role to act in its upcoming sequel.

I borrowed this from ES in order to properly play the part of a high school boy who just watched a cursed disc.

In this theater room, no matter how loud you scream, no one would be able to hear you because it’s soundproof, so I thought that I wouldn’t be a bother here.

But I’ve only been focusing on my unit lessons, so it must’ve slipped my mind. Ehehe…♪

My, this isn’t good~. I shouldn’t have been this careless.

[The ghost had been inching closer the whole time.]

Tori: Uwaaaah! Spare me the explanation and just shut the thing off alreadyyYYYY!
