Chapter 15
---- 1.
Title: "Unreturned Spirit"
subtext: "It's time for Masato's revenge! (regarding his grudge about the rabbit hutch)"
---- 2.
Sakura: "Rokudou-kun! Are you there?!"
Sakura: "This isn't good, there's no time..."
Rokumon: "Sakura-sama?" Sakura: "Rokumon-chan, good timing."
---- 3.
Suzu: "I don't know what that devil put into your head, but I hate you, Reiji!"
Reiji: "Stupid Suzu!"
Sakura: "Reiji-saan!"
---- 4.
Sakura: "Let's go apologize to Suzu-sempai and Tomoya-sempai. We'll go together."
Reiji: "No! They're the ones who betrayed me!"
text: "Easy-to-understand diagram" text: "Reiji (currently a spirit) Reiji - Tomoya: friends Reiji - Suzu: lovers Tomoya - Suzu: classmates" Reiji: "They were dating in secret!"
Sakura: "But that's a lie! At this rate, Reiji-san..."
---- 5.
Sakura: "You won't be able to return to your body! You'll die for real..."
Reiji: "Wh, what's this?!"
Reiji: "Suzu and Tomoya are kissing!" Sakura: "Huh?!"
---- 6.
Sakura: "!" Masato: "Hmph." Sakura: 'Masato!'
Masato: "Reiji... it looks like there's no longer any place for you in this world."
---- 7.
Sakura: "Wait, this is nonsense. On what planet would someone fall for such an obviously fake picture?"
Sakura: "The sign in the background is backwards, their heights are unnatural, so it's an obvious fake..." (I've seen a few shops in my life, I can tell by the pixels)
Reiji: "It's all over." Sakura: "Eeeeh?"
Rokumon: "It's futile, Sakura-sama. That misspelled curse on Reiji's forehead..."
Rokumon: "It's still a devil's spell, and is the cause of Reiji's warped mind!"
---- 8.
Masato: "Hmph. You're such a bother..."
Masato: "Devil Cash Card Cutter!" Sakura: "Eeh?!"
---- 9.
Sakura: "Rokumon-chan!"
Sakura: "Eeek!"
Masato: "I won't forgive anyone who gets in my way, no matter who they might be."
Masato: "Wait, Reiji!"
Sakura: "Eeeek!"
---- 10.
Rinne: "Mamiya Sakura!"
---- 11.
Rinne: "What were you two up to while I wasn't around...!" Sakura: "Rokudou-kun..."
Rinne: "Masato is a terrible guy who won't go easy even on women and children." Sakura: "Yeah... I see that now."
Masato: "Rinne-kun, when you never showed yourself, I thought you'd run away."
---- 12.
Rinne: "I went shopping."
Rinne: "Shimitori-gami!"
Masato: "?!"
---- 13.
Sakura: "Ah, the devil's spell was erased!"
Rokumon: "Now Reiji's twisted mind can return to normal!"
Masato: "You're too naiive, Rinne-kun."
Masato: "Even if I return Reiji, he can't take back the abusive things he's said to his girlfriend and friend, nor his harrassment of them. His broken relationships won't be repaired."
---- 14.
Reiji: "That's right... those two must hate me."
Reiji: "Tell Suzu... that if she finds it, to throw it away."
Sakura: "What?! Throw what away?!"
Masato: "Hmph. Looks like he no longer has any attachments to this world."
---- 15.
Sakura: "Reiji-san's been bottled up..."
Rinne: "Tch, Rokumon, take Mamiya Sakura down."
Rokumon: "Right, Rinne-sama." Sakura: "Rokudou-kun!"
Masato: "See you, Rinne-kun. As promised, I'm taking Reiji's soul to Hell."
---- 16.
Suzu: "Eeh?!"
Suzu: "Reiji's spirit was..." Tomoya: "taken to Hell?!"
Sakura: "And there's something else that's bothering me..." Reiji: "Tell Suzu... that if she ever finds it, throw it away."
Sakura: "Is it something you know about?!" Suzu: "No..."
Suzu: "It's just, the day of Reiji's accident... was my birthday..."
---- 17.
Sakura: 'Her birthday...' Sakura: "Did he... want to give you something?"
Sakura: 'Now that I think about it, when I first saw Reiji-san, it seemed like he was deep in thought.'
Sakura: 'He must have lost whatever it is in that spot.'
Sakura: 'It must have been something really important. To the point of leaving his body to go look for it...'
Sakura: 'I have to let Rokudou-kun know...'
---- 18.
Rinne: 'This is bad... if Reiji's lost his attachments to this world, it'll be hard to return him to his body...'
Masato: 'Hmph, follow me, Rinne-kun.'
Masato: 'On my home turf of Hell, I'll avenge my past grudge."

Title: "Welcome to Hell!"
subtext: "Crossing the forbidden boundary, Rinne, go to Hell!!"
---- 2.
Rinne: "Hell!"
---- 3.
Masato: "Rinne-kun, do you... have an entrance pass to Hell?!"
Rinne: "No!"
Masato: "Hell's entrance pass, the Jigoca! It's a useful card that when touched at the automatic check-in, allows you to pass expediently without waiting in line!"
---- 4.
teller: "Welcome to Hell."
Rinne: "Tch."
teller: "Please touch your pass here."
teller: "If in the event that you do not have a pass, please pay the entrance fee of 1800 yen."
Rinne: "I don't have that much money!" Rinne: 'Breakthrough!'
---- 5.
guard: "Ah, an illegal entrant!"
guard: "Wait right there!" Rinne: "!"
---- 6.
Rinne: "!" sign: "Fre to tak"
Rinne: "This is an emergency! Don't get in my way!"
Masato: 'So he used it... the banana I casually left out...'
---- 7.
Masato: "Hmph, Rinne-kun, in order to save Reiji's soul in this bottle, just how much are you willing to sacrifice?"
Masato: 'Welcome to Hell!'
---- 8.
Sakura: "This is the telephone pole where Reiji-san's spirit was lost in thought. This is the scene of the accident, and I thought that maybe he lost something here, but..." Rokumon: "I see."
Rokumon: "There's nothing like that dropped around here."
Sakura: "Yeah... it's been several days since the accident, too." Rokumon: "In that case..."
---- 9.
Rokumon: "Shall we try asking a witness?"
Sakura: "What's that?" Rokumon: "A Tsukumo-gami seal."
Rokumon: "A Tsukumo-gami is a soul that resides inside an object after a long time. A Tsukumo-gami seal is a useful good that when affixed to an object, bestows it with a soul immediately. (price: 99 yen)"
Sakura: "I see, so if it's the telephone pole..." Rokumon: "It must have seen everything."
Sakura: "Hm?"
---- 10.
pole: "Those damn dogs! Every single day they take a piss on me! I'll kill them!"
Sakura: "Um..." pole: "I especially can't forgive Lucifer!"
Sakura: "Lucifer...?" pole: "That damn dog, every single frikking day!!"
text: "30 minutes later"
Sakura: "It just..." Rokumon: "Kept going on and on about Lucifer and those dogs..."
girl: "Ohhh, Lucifer!"
girl: "You picked up some strange things again!"
---- 11.
Sakura: "Hm?!"
Rokumon: "That box..."
Suzu: "This... is Reiji's...?" Sakura: "Probably."
Sakura: "I think he dropped it during the accident, and Reiji-san's spirit went out to go look for it."
---- 12.
Suzu: "This is... the pair of matching rings that I'd wanted..."
Tomoya: "I see... if it wasn't for the accident..." Suzu: "Now we match!" Suzu: "Ooh..."
Suzu: "Waaaah, Reiji! Why did you have to die?!" Sakura: "Um, he's not dead yet..."
Reji: "Tell Suzu.... that if she finds it, throw it away."
Sakura: 'Reiji-san's spirit... he said that like he'd given up, but...'
---- 13.
Rinne: "Wait, Masato!" Masato: "Hmph."
Rinne: 'Where is he leading me?! Normally, souls that are brought into Hell are...'
---- 14.
Rinne: 'Depending on their sinful deeds, handed over to the staff...' staff: "Frauds gather over here!" staff: "Thieves this way!"
Rinne: "!"
Reiji: "Heey!" Reiji: "Save me!" Reiji: "Heey!"
---- 15.
Reiji: "Let me out!" Reiji: "I'm over here!" Reiji: "It's me!" Reiji: "No, no, it's me!"
Rinne: "Reiji's spirit..."
Reiji: "Break the bottle and let me out!" Reiji: "Hurry!"
Rinne: 'A convenient bat and ball in a place like this...' sign: "Fre to uze"
---- 16.
Rinne: "This is ideal. With this I can break every last bottle and find the real one..."
Rinne: 'However... I smell a trap...'
Rinne: 'Reiji believes that his girlfriend Suzu hates him, and has turned his back on the living. Is he honestly seeking help...?'
Rinne: "!" sign: "Residential area"
Rinne: "The real one is there!"
---- 17.
Masato: "Whoa!"
sign: "Residence third block"
Kaminari: "Who did that! Who broke my window?!"
Rinne: 'Showa retro!' Masato: "It was him!" (note: reference to the style the oni-man is drawn, Showa era (1928-1989))
---- 18.
Kaminari: "You reckless brat!" kid: "Ah, Old Man Thunder is mad again."
Kaminari: "Take that!"
---- 19.
Rinne: "Tch, it was a clever trap indeed!"
Masato: "Hmph. Old Man Thunder was beyond my expectations, but in the end he's all right."
Masato: "Rinne-kun... you've gone and broken quite a bit..."
Masato: "The repair costs would naturally be billed to you, the illegal entrant. The parts destroyed by the oni as well."
---- 20.
Masato: "You know, I really don't care what happens to Reiji's soul. My real goal..."
Masato: "Rinne-kun, was to throw you into a Hell of debt!"
Masato: "So long as you have not paid compensation, you can't leave Hell."
Masato: "Even if you are a Shinigami..."
preview: "Bills! Compensation! To the poor, these are more frightful words than oni and devil! What will happen to Rinne, now loaded with money problems?!"

Chapter 17
---- 1.
Title: "Debtor's Hell"
subtext: "Continuing on to the next world, go to Hell?!"
---- 2.
Rinne: 'Debtor's Hell is...'
Rinne: 'the lowest level of Hell.'
Masato: "The Hell where those who rack up a debt that they cannot repay are thrown, the Hell of all Hells."
---- 3.
Masato: 'Those sinners are then forced into labor,' text: "Image is artist's interpretation" Masato: 'And no matter how hard they work, they are never paid!'
Masato: 'This way, the debt can never be repayed!'
Masato: "In other words, you will never be able to escape Hell for eternity,"
Masato: "This is the revenge I have prepared for you."
---- 4.
Rinne: "So do you intend... to return Reiji's spirit to the living world?"
Masato: "Ah, this?"
Masato: "He was nothing but a hostage to lure you into Hell, Rinne-kun. I no longer have use for him."
Masato: "So I'll throw him away."
Rinne: "Khh!"
---- 5.
Masato: "Hmph."
Masato: "Go ahead and chase it. After all, ahead of you is..."
Masato: 'Debtor's Hell!'
text: "Meanwhile"
---- 6.
Sakura: "So Hell is someplace other than the Wheel of Rinne, huh." Rokumon: "Of course."
Rokumon: "The people thrown into Hell are ones that can't be allowed to ride the Wheel of Rinne and be reborn. It's an independent world of death."
Rokumon: "Ah, I can see it. Sakura-sama, that's Hell."
---- 7.
Rokumon: "Hn?" oni: "It was an illegal entrant." oni: "He failed to pay the entrance fee."
Sakura: "Aren't they talking about Rokudou-kun?!" Rokumon: "This is terrible!"
Sakura: "Looks like a lot of stuff was broken." Rokumon: "If this has anything to do with Rinne-sama..."
Rokumon: "This is probably going to cost a heck of a lot of money." Sakura: "Eeh?! But I didn't bring that much..."
Rokumon: "Don't you worry about that."
Sakura: "Cash cards?"
---- 8.
Masato: 'Devil Cash Card Cutter!'
Sakura: "Those cards that Masato-kun threw back then? Wouldn't they just be fakes again?"
Rokumon: "That Masato guy is still an idiot, he actually threw real ones."
Rokumon: "See?" card: "Real"
Sakura: "No... I think that's definitely a trap."
---- 9.
Rokumon: "I'm withdrawing everything."
Sakura: "!"
Rinne: "Khh!"
Rinne: "!"
---- 10.
Masato: "Too bad. The real one is right here."
Masato: "Rinne-kun, look below you. That right there is Debtor's Hell."
---- 11.
boss: "Keep washing! Those dishes are endless!"
Masato: "You will be working there forever for free. But before that..."
Rinne: "!"
---- 12.
Masato: "The most appropriate thing for a shinigami like you, Rinne-kun is... yes..."
shopkeeper: "Thank you~"
Masato: "A shinigami's scythe."
---- 13.
Masato: "And now that I've rendered you immobile, before I throw you into Debtor's Hell, I'm going to slice you apart!"
Masato: "Hmph, you dodged that well!"
---- 14.
Rinne: "I didn't do anything. The snakes did it themselves."
Rinne: "If you guys stay around me, you're going to get hit, too."
Masato: "It's useless! You think you can beat me unarmed?!"
---- 15.
Rinne: "Gah!"
---- 16.
Masato: "Hmph. There aren't any weapons here that you can get for free."
Masato: "The oni shopkeepers don't forgive shoplifters. And they don't take credit, either."
Masato: "Your defeat was decided the moment you stepped into Hell without any money."
---- 17.
text: "Meanwhile" Sakura: "Awawawa!"
Sakura: "That card really was real...?!" Rokumon: "Th... this much money...!"
Rokumon: "W, what should I do with it, Sakura-sama? Should I go buy stuff topside?!" Sakura: "We should take it to Rokudou-kun, right?"
oni: "I've heard the illegal entrant is a shinigami." oni: "He seems to be in the direction of Debtor's Hell."
Sakura: "Let's go, Rokumon-chan!"
---- 18.
Sakura: "Rokudou-kuun!" Rokumon: "Rinne-sama~!"
Rinne: "Rokumon, Mamiya Sakura..." Masato: "That money..."
Sakura: "Masato-kun, sorry, but... we withdrew your life savings!"
Masato: "Oh...?" Masato: 'Those fools... so they used the card...'
preview: "A happy reinforcement - other people's money! But Masato's unshaken expression... is he a fool or is it a trap?! Next issue, time to settle this!"

Chapter 18[/b]
---- 1.
Title: "Sen no Kaze Stream" (note: the term is written with the Japanese characters "Sen no Kaze Kiryuu", but "Kiryuu" has the English reading "Stream" forced on it with furigana. Both mean "Thousand Wind Stream", but since it's an attack name, I have the habit of leaving those verbatim as they appear in Japanese)
subtext: "Mercy in Hell?! Mamiya Sakura arrives holding a wad of cash!"
---- 2.
Sakura: "Rokudou-kun!"
Rinne: 'A wad of cash!'
Rinne: "Mamiya Sakura! Throw that money over here!"
Sakura: "Right!"
Masato: 'Hmph... you fell for it...'
Masato: 'The cash card you used to withdraw that money...'
---- 3.
Masato: 'is in reality an utter fake. The money you withdrew is all counterfeit!!'
Masato: 'And when you use that counterfeit money here on Hell's Shopping Floor...'
Masato: 'Rinne-kun, you and your friends will go to Hell's prison!'
Masato: 'Now, buy a weapon with that money!'
---- 4.
Masato: "?!"
Masato: "Why aren't you buying a weapon?!"
Rinne: "My weapon..."
---- 5.
Rinne: "Is this!! Sen no Kaze Stream!!"
---- 6.
narration: "Sen no Kaze Stream is a massive Shinigami attack based on collecting thousand-yen bills (also five-thousand and ten-thousand yen bills) into a gust of wind that blows an enemy away!" Sakura: "Wow, amazing!" Rokumon: "Aww, what a waste."
debtor: "Uwaah!" debtor: "The plates!"
Masato: "You bastard!"
---- 7.
[you rang?]
---- 8.
Rinne: "Masato... if you don't stop now, you're going to get hurt."
Masato: "Hmph... if I have to yield to you..."
Masato: "I'd rather be cut apart by that scythe!"
---- 9.
Masato: "OWOWOWOWOW!"
Rinne: "Don't worry, I hit you with the blunt edge." Masato: "That's why I said I'd rather be cut apart!"
debtor: "Money! It's money!" debtor: "With this I can finally leave Debtor's Hell!"
oni: "Hmmm?"
oni: "This is counterfeit! If you used this, you'd go to prison!"
---- 10.
Sakura: "Counterfeit...?!" Masato: "Hmph..."
Masato: "You realized it, didn't you. That's why you didn't buy a weapon..."
Rinne: "No."
Rinne: "Sen no Kaze Stream is a great technique of luxury that can't be used without a large amount of money, so I was kind of excited to use it..." Sakura: "The tension mounts..."
oni: "Ah, there he is!" oni: "Hey, you there!"
---- 11.
Masato: 'Hmph, it's all over for you, Rinne-kun. You're still an illegal entrant, not to mention the culprit behind some massive property damage, so it's off to Debtor's Hell with you...'
oni: "Who was it who made this counterfeit money?!"
Masato: "Eep..."
Rokumon: "Ooh!"
oni: "You know who the culprit is?!"
oni: "Doesn't matter if it's a devil or shinigami, counterfeiters are severely punished!" Rokumon: "Yup. And your culprit is..."
Masato: 'I'll kill that black cat!'
---- 12.
Masato: "Cash Card Cutter...!"
Rokumon: "Mmph."
Rinne: "We don't know... who the culprit is."
Sakura: 'Rokudou-kun... why are you covering for him?!'
Masato: 'Rinne-kun?!'
oni: "You're... the illegal entrant, aren't you?" Rinne: "Yeah... The one who'll cover my entrance fee and the damage repairs..."
---- 13.
Rinne: "is my friend here." Masato: "Friend?!"
oni: "Are you sure you don't know? If you help us indict the counterfeiter, in return we can waive your entrance fee and damage repair compensation..."
Rinne: "Ah, I see, then in that case..." Masato: "I will pay."
Rokumon: "It's a good thing we were able to get out of Hell, Rinne-sama!"
---- 14.
Rinne: "Now all that's left is to return Reiji's spirit to his body, but..." Sakura: "Reiji-saaan, can you hear me?"
Reiji: "Leave me alone. Suzu hates me."
Reiji: "There isn't one good reason for me to return to my body..."
Sakura: "Reiji-san, try looking at your finger on your left hand."
Reiji: "My left hand...?"
---- 15.
Reiji: 'Ah...'
Reiji: 'This is... the matching rings that I'd wanted to give Suzu for her birthday...'
Sakura: "Suzu-sempai is wearing the other matching ring. And your friend Tomoya-sempai wants you to come back, too..."
Suzu: "Reiji..."

Suzu: "Ah..."
Suzu: "Reiji..."
Suzu: "Reiji, I'm so glad!" Reiji: "Suzu..."
Suzu: "Thank you... for the ring..."
Tomoya: "I'm so glad, Reiji!" Tomoya: 'Now hurry up and pay back the money you borrowed from me to buy those rings...' Reiji: "Tomoya... you're a good man."
---- 17.
Rinne: "So he returned..." Sakura: "Thank goodness."
Rinne: "Mamiya Sakura, you're amazing." Sakura: "Eh?"
Rinne: "Reiji came back thanks to you."
Rinne: "If you trained hard enough, I'm sure you'd become a first-rate shinigami." Sakura: "Only through training? I'm fine not being one."

Rokumon: "Just one letter of request?" Rinne: "And there's no offering, either."
letter: "Help me."
Rinne: "Help me...?"

Tsubasa: "So there was another one."
Rinne: "He can see me?!"
Rokumon: "But Rinne-sama is supposed to be invisible to ordinary humans while he's wearing the Hell Haori...!"
Tsubasa: "Pass on without hesitation!"
---- 7.
Rinne: "Holy ash?!"
narration: "While wearing the Hell Haori, Rinne's body becomes that of a ghost. Meaning his body takes the same damage as a ghost's." Rinne: "Tch!"
Tsubasa: "There's no use escaping..."
Tsubasa: "You'll be exorcised shortly."
narration: "However, if he removes the haori, he's fine!" Rokumon: "Who the heck was that guy?!" Rinne: "He just attacked me all of a sudden..."

Rokumon: "Huh? He dropped something..."
Rokumon: "It's a picture... of a cute little girl."
Rokumon: "There's a bunch of ghosts in the picture, too, though..." Rinne: "Hm? Isn't this..."
Rinne: 'Mamiya Sakura?!'

Miho: "Ooh, he's pretty cool-looking."
Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san. It's me."
---- 10.
Miho: "Sakura-chan, you know him?" Sakura: "Eh..."
Tsubasa: "It's me! It was only for a short while, but in elementary school, we..." (note: when he says "It's me!", the phrase he uses is "Ore da yo, ore!" Remember this for later.)
Tsubasa: "Don't tell me you've forgotten?"
Sakura: "Umm..."
Sakura: "So you're Oreda-kun... or something?"

Tsubasa: 'I've been able to see a lot of strange things since I was a child...' teacher: "Hey, come join us!" Tsubasa: 'They were floating around wherever I went.'
Tsubasa: 'Since I realized I wasn't normal, I gave up trying to make friends.'
Tsubasa: 'Until that time...!'
Sakura: "I like plump and wavy noodles." ramenya: "Don't talk nonsense. Ramen has to be made from thin and straight noodles."
---- 13.
Tsubasa: 'It was a girl from my class at my new school.' Tsubasa: "Mamiya... san." Sakura: "Ah, transfer student Juumonji-kun."
Tsubasa: "Take this! Holy ash!" ramenya: "Who, watch it!"
Sakura: "Juumonji-kun... you can see him?"
Tsubasa: 'It was the first time I'd met another person who could see them.'
Sakura: "Heeh? So Juumonji-kun's family are exorcists?" Tsubasa: 'It was the first time I was able to have a close conversation with a classmate.'
Tsubasa: "S... so we're kinda the same." Sakura: "Yup."
---- 14.
Sakura: "We'll keep it our little secret that we can see them."
Tsubasa: "R, right!" Tsubasa: 'It was my first love.'
Tsubasa: 'However...'
Tsubasa: 'Since the ghost my father had been following had escaped to Hokkaido, I had to move again...'
Tsubasa: 'I didn't even have time to say goodbye, and the two of us were separated.'
Tsubasa: "So because of that, Mamiya-san..." student: "Because of what...?" student: "Dunno... he's been lost in silent reminiscence up until now."
---- 15.
Tsubasa: "I'd like you to go out with me."
---- 16.
Miho: "Eeeh? B, but Sakura-chan..." Rika: "is already going out with Rokudou-kun..." Sakura: "Huh?"
student: "Rokudou..."
Tsubasa: "!"
Tsubasa: "You still haven't passed on!" Sakura: "Huh?"
---- 17.
Rinne: "Mamiya Sakura, is he an acquaintence of yours?" Sakura: "W, well, yeah, sorta..."
Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san, this is..." Sakura: "My classmate, Rokudou-kun."
Tsubasa: 'What... he's not a ghost?'
Rokudou: "You're doing it wrong." Tsubasa: "What?!"
---- 18.
Rokumon: "So you didn't disappear before, you just ran away?"
Rokumon: "This is definitely holy ash specialized for evil spirits..." ghost: "But I'm not an evil spirit, it's just impossible for me to pass on..."
Rinne: "I'm saying you're being too forceful." Tsubasa: "In what? My exorcisms? Or my proposition?"
Rinne: "Who was talking about your proposition?" Tsubasa: "So is it true that you're going out with Mamiya Sakura?"
Rinne: "Why did you turn the conversation to that?" Tsubasa: "I was given an overt challenge." teacher: "We're still in the middle of class." Miho: "There's two guys fighting over Sakura-chan!" Sakura: "No... I don't think the conversation is very engaging..."

Sakura: "Then I'll help, too..." Rinne: "I'm fine doing it by myself."
Sakura: "Eh..."
Sakura: "What for? Up until now you've been relying on me for all sorts of things." Rinne: "Have I?"
Sakura: "Could it be... you're bothered by Tsubasa-kun?"
---- 5.
Rinne: "Who you go out with... is your own decision, Mamiya Sakura. Besides..."
Rinne: "I don't have any interest in that sort of thing."
---- 6.
Sakura: "Ah, that's true."
Sakura: "All right. Bye."
Rinne: "You're all right with that...?"
Rokumon: "Eeeh, Sakura-sama isn't coming?!"
Rinne: "All right, I'm going to ask about your attachments." Usui: "Yeah..."
Rokumon: "I'll go call Sakura-sama over."
Rinne: "That won't be necessary, Rokumon..."
---- 7.
Rokumon: "It's terrible! Sakura-sama is walking home all friendly with some guy!"
Tsubasa: "I see, Mamiya-san... So you've been keeping your ability to see ghosts a secret." Sakura: "Yeah, it's complicated."
Sakura: "So are you working as an exorcist, too, Tsubasa-kun?" Tsubasa: "Yeah... it's a family business."
Tsubasa: "That way someday I'll protect you from an evil spirit."
---- 8.
Sakura: "An evil spirit? It's not like I'm attacked by them very often..."
Sakura: 'Well... lately I've been in quite a bit of danger... but Rokudou-kun saved me.'
Sakura: '... On the other hand, I'm probably being put in danger because I'm helping out with a shinigami's work.'
Tsubasa: "So are you really going out with Rokudou-kun?"
Rinne: 'I don't have any interest in that sort of thing.'
---- 9.
Sakura: "I'm not." Tsubasa: "Then may be with me...?"
Sakura: "Umm, let's start off as friends for now." Tsubasa: "Really?! All right!"
Tsubasa: "Hm?!"
Tsubasa: "Holy ash!"
Sakura: "Was something there?" Tsubasa: "... Was I imagining things?"
Usui: "Cough cough"
---- 10.
Usui: "Isn't he that mean guy who attacked me this morning?!" Rokumon: "Rinne-sama, are you okay with that guy taking Sakura-sama from you?!"
Rinne: "He didn't take her. Mamiya Sakura isn't mine."
Rinne: "Let's go, Rokumon." Rokumon: "Eh...?"
Rokumon: "Rinne-sama..."
Rokumon: "You can't fly if you're not wearing your haori." Usui: "Is something bothering him?"
---- 11.
Miho: "Good morning!" Rinne: "Good morning."
Rinne: "I need to talk to you."
Miho: "Eh? Me?"
Rinne: "I'd like you to listen to what he has to say." Usui: "Hello..."
Rokumon: "Sakura-sama, Sakura-sama!" Sakura: "Rokumon-chan."
Miho: "Eh...? Usui-kun from the class next to me in middle school...?" (note: "usui" also means "weak")
---- 12.
Miho: "Sorry, um...." Usui: "You probably don't remember me. I never talked to you..."
Sakura: "Miho-chan..."
Sakura: "He's wearing the Hell Haori inside-out so he can have a physical body... So is that glasses guy our current ghost?"
Miho: "Eeeh? You want to go on a date with me?!" Rinne: "He said that just once is fine."
Sakura: "So the glasses guy was in love with Miho-chan?" Rokumon: "Ever since middle school. It sounded like he wanted to be close to her so he took this high school's entrance exam."
---- 13.
Rokumon: "He passed it successfully and even got the uniform, but with his sickly condition, he wasn't able to attend school for even a day before leaving this world."
Sakura: "I see... Poor guy."
Miho: "Eh? You have to go to the hospital soon?" Usui: "My illness has made me weak..."
Rinne: "Won't you at least go on a date with him once before that?"
Miho: "I understand. If that's the case..." Usui: "R, Really?!"
Tsubasa: "Don't be fooled!"
---- 14.
Tsubasa: "That person is not of this..." Usui: "Geh!"
Rokumon: "Oh no!" Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun!"
---- 15.
Rinne: "Toh!"
Tsubasa: "What's the meaning of this, Rokudou? Why is he still around?"
Miho: "Eh? What's he talking about...?" Usui: "D, dunno..."
Sakura: "Hold it, hold it, let's talk about this!" Miho: "Sakura-chan."
Rinne: "Mamiya Sakura..." Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san..."
---- 16.
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun, you can't tell her that the glasses guy is a ghost." Tsubasa: "But..."
Rinne: "His attachment is Miho. If we let them go on a date, he should be able to pass on peacefully."
Tsubasa: "How naive! What if he transformed into an evil spirit in the meantime?"
Miho: "Hey, Sakura-chan." Sakura: "What is it, Miho-chan?"
Miho: "Let's do a double date. I don't know him very well, and it would be more fun with more people." Sakura: "Eh..."
---- 17.
Tsubasa: "Hmm, if that's how you want it, then I'll go with you."
Usui: "Ehhhh?" Tsubasa: 'Just let me keep tabs on you.'
Usui: "This date was supposed to be fun..." Sakura: "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Tsubasa-kun so that he doesn't get out of hand."
Tsubasa: "It's decided. See ya, Mamiya-san. I'm looking forward to it."
Tsubasa: 'And... now that I think of it, in all the confusion I pretty much just asked her on a date!'
---- 18.
Miho: "He's skipping away."
Miho: "Sakura-chan, are you okay with not going with Rokudou-kun?" Sakura: "Well, it just kind of happened."
Sakura: 'Even so, why did Rokudou-kun... not ask for my help? Miho-chan is my friend, after all...'
Miho: "Huh, did Rokudou-kun... leave?"
Sakura: 'Jeez, Rokudou-kun has been acting weird ever since yesterday.'
Rokumon: "Are you all right, Rinne-sama?!"
---- 19.
Rokumon: "Rinne-sama, you should be participating in the date, too!" Rinne: "Hmph... I don't have the money to waste on something so frivolous."
Rokumon: "Well, I suppose that is true... Well, and besides,"
Rokumon: "Sakura-sama didn't seem to hate the idea of going on a date with him, anyway..."
Rinne: 'What is this...? I've got this horrible feeling like I've stepped on a caterpillar in Hell.' (note: Not... really sure what this is supposed to mean)
---- 20.
Rika: "Eeeeh? You're going on a double date? Sounds nice." Sakura: "Well, it's just for support..."
Rika: "I wanna go, too!" Miho: "That's fine." Sakura: "Do you have a boyfriend, Rika-chan?"
Rika: "Ah, there he is! Heey, Rokudou-kun!"
---- 21.
Sakura: "Huh... Rokudou-kun...?" Rika: "Sakura-chaan!"
Tsubasa: "So you came, too." Rinne: "I'm the ghost's escort."
Tsubasa: "Hmph... if the ghost makes any weird moves, I'm purifying it immediately. And also..."
Tsubasa: "Don't get between me and Mamiya-san." Sakura: "We're going!" Miho: "Let's have a good time!" Usui: "I'm so inspired!"
preview: "Furious competition erupts over how to deal with the ghost... or is it?! Either way, the date full of trouble at the amusement part begins!"

Chapter 21
---- 1.
Title: "A Fun Date"
subtext: "A triple date with a ghost?!"
---- 2.
Usui: "Uhyaaaa!" Miho: "Eeeek!"
Sakura: 'Today I'm playing chaperone to a date.'
Sakura: 'It's to let the ghost Usui-kun (currently in physical form thanks to the Hell Haori) have a fun day with Miho-chan so that he can pass on.'
---- 3.
Sakura: '... Even so, I wonder if Rokudou-kun's okay... He had to pay for both his and the ghost's admission, after all.'
Rinne: 'I'm in the red!' Sakura: 'He's suddenly crying tears of blood!'
Rokumon: "I'll go ahead and pawn the Ungaikyou. This is for your date with Sakura-sama, Rinne-sama!" Rinne: "Don't get the wrong idea, Rokumon."
Rinne: "I'm acting as the ghost's bodyguard," Tsubasa: 'If he transforms into an evil spirit, I'll exorcise him immediately.' Rinne: "to protect him from Juumonji Tsubasa."
---- 4.
Rika: "Aaah, that was fuun~. I'm thirsty. Rokudou-kun, buy me some juice~" Rinne: "AH?" Sakura: 'Rika-chan's trying to mooch off him!'
Tsubasa: "Mamiya-saan! Take whichever one you like!"
Tsubasa: "Th, there's so many, it's hard to choose!"
Rika: "Yaaay! I'll have some, I'll have some!" Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun..."
---- 5.
Rinne: "Hold it, Juumonji, just what did you come here for?" Tsubasa: "Hmph."
Tsubasa: "Naturally, to watch over the ghost. But you see..."
Tsubasa: "I've finally been able to go on a date with Mamiya-san. I have to show my partner a good time. Ooh, can we ride that one next?!" Rika: "You've got it good, Sakura-chan."
Rinne: 'Th, this guy...' text: "Exorcism < Date"
---- 6.
Sakura: 'I get this feeling...' text: "Tsubasa's Brain" diagram: "Date Date Date Date Date Date Exorcism Exorcism"
Sakura: "You're right, Tsubasa-kun. We're here, so we might as well have fun! And forget everything else."
Tsubasa: "Right!" diagram: "Date Date Date Date Date Date Date Date"
Rinne: 'What's with this turn of events?'
Miho: "Ahahahahaha!"
---- 7.
Sakura: "Ahahahaha!"
Rika: "Aww, I can't get it!" Miho: "Rika-chan, you suck at this."
Rika: "Aww, not again! I've already blown two thousand yen on this!" Rinne: 'And this girl's usually such a cheapskate!'
Rika: "All right, I'm putting in another five hundred yen!" Rinne: "I'll do it!"
Rika: "You're amazing, Rokudou-kun!" Sakura: 'Naturally as unforgiving of wasting money as always.' Miho: "He's only getting big ones to get his money's worth..."
---- 8.
Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san, is there one you want? I'll get it for you." Sakura: "Okay, that one."
Tsubasa: "Ah!"
Tsubasa: "Khh..."
Sakura: "Almost... Almost..."
Sakura: "Yaay, you did it! Thanks, Rokudou-kun." Rinne: "I didn't have to pay for it, though."
---- 9.
Sakura: "I'll treasure it."
Rinne: 'S... somehow... this is fun.'
---- 10.
Tsubasa: "Hmph, Rokudou... Just because of this, if you're thinking..."
Tsubasa: "you've won?! You're thinking you've won now, haven't you?!" Sakura: "We're go-ing!" Rika: "I'll keep these in a locker."
Miho: "So, Sakura-chan, are you leaning towards dating Juumonji-kun now?" Sakura: "Eh...? Well..." Rika: "Ehh, so that's how it is."
---- 11.
Rika: "Poor Rokudou-kun. He seems to like you, Sakura-chan."
Sakura: "No way."
Rika: "I've been with him, so I know. He's been stealing glances at you, Sakura-chan."
Sakura: 'I wonder if that's true...' (note: the "stealing glances" term above is "chira-mi", which could be interpreted as "looking at someone with the 'chira' sound effect". It could be noted that while Rinne hasn't looked at Sakura at all like that, this line marks the third time in this chapter alone that Sakura has glanced at Rinne with the "chira" sound effect)
Sakura: 'No... he's fixated on his wallet.'
Tsubasa: "Rokudou, you haven't gotten anything to eat or drink all day. Do you not have any money?" Usui: "Sorry. It's because he's been covering my share..."
---- 12.
Rinne: "Don't worry about it. Are you having fun?"
Usui: "Yes! I'm having a lot of fun."
Usui: "Since I was so weak, I was never able to play around with friends..."
Usui: "So this is a first for me. To come to an amusement park like this with everyone."
Tsubasa: "I can relate... With all my transferring around, I was never able to make friends..."
Rinne: "And I..." Rinne: 'Ever since I became poor...'
Rinne: "never thought I'd be able to come here again." Tsubasa: "Rokudou..."
Tsubasa: "Here."
---- 13.
Rinne: "Juumonji..." Tsubasa: "Take what you want."
Rinne: "No, isn't this just your leftover drink?" Tsubasa: "Huh? Not good enough? Even though you're poor?"
Miho: "Let's ride the ferris wheel!" Sakura: "It's four to a car, so we'll ride four and two."
Usui: "Sure!"
Rinne: "It's almost time..." Tsubasa: "Is he going to pass on?"
Sakura: "Hurry up!"
---- 14.
Rinne: 'I have to see this through to the end.'
Tsubasa: "Wait."
Tsubasa: "Wha, are you trying to ride along with Mamiya-san?" Rinne: "It's my job."
Sakura: "Okay, you two come later." Rika: "We're already on!"
Usui: "Uwaah." Miho: "What a great view."
Rika: "Should I take a picture on my phone?" Miho: "Please."
---- 15.
Usui: "Miho-san, thank you so much for today."
Sakura: "Huh... he's looking faint..."
Miho: "I had a lot of fun, too. Let's come again when you get out of the hospital."
Miho: "Ah!"
---- 16.
Rika: "Oooh, pretty."
Sakura: 'Goodbye...'
---- 17.
Usui: 'Thank you...' Tsubasa: "...."
Tsubasa: 'So this is Rokudou's way of doing it... However...'
Miho/Rika: "Huh?"
Sakura: "Oh my, I wonder what happened?" Rika: "Eeeh, what happened, what just happened?" Miho: "C, could he have been a ghost?!" Tsubasa: "What are you going to do about this...?"
Rika: "Th, that's right, the picture I took of the two of you..."
Miho: "Ah..."
---- 18.
Miho: "He's a bit transparent..."
Miho: "I wonder if... he really was a ghost. Even though he wasn't scary at all..."
Sakura: "I'm sure he was a good ghost." Miho: "Yeah..."
Rinne: "That's a sensible explanation..." Tsubasa: "You're fine just with that?"
Rokumon: "So how did your date go, Rinne-sama?" Rinne: "It wasn't a date."
Rinne: 'But... Mamiya Sakura... had a bit of an air of cuteness about her.'
Sakura: "... Now that I look at it, it isn't very cute. Well, that's all right."
preview: "Wrapped in gentleness, Usui-kun vanishes into thin air... has Rinne's heart begun to move as well?!"

---- 3.
Rinne: "A 100 thousand yen reward?!"
Rokumon: "You've been in the red for a while lately, and there's no work around here!" Rinne: "This doodle-looking guy is worth 100 thousand yen..."
Rinne: 'Sounds good. I'm making this guy's extermination my priority.'
---- 4.
student: "Wh, what is this?!"
Sakura: "Good morning. What's up?"
Rika: "Ah, Sakura-chan." Miho: "Look at this."
Sakura: "Eh... handprints?"

---- 6.
guy: "So you're saying..." Miho: "Juumonji-kun, on your desk..."
Miho: "'Grudge'...?!"
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun, this is..." Tsubasa: "Don't worry about it, Mamiya-san."
Tsubasa: "Whatever this grudge is, it's best to ask the culprit themselves."
Tsubasa: "Take this, holy ash!"
---- 7.
guy: "Wha..."
Tsubasa: "You think you can escape?!"
guy: "What was that just now?!" guy: "And just who is Juumonji?!" Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun..."

Sakura: 'Rokudou-kun...?'
Rokumon: "Yes! 100 thousand yen!" Rinne: "It's a blessing from heaven!"
Rokumon: "Hn?!" Rinne: "It shrank?!"
---- 11.
Hanako: "Harumph!"
Hanako: "What're you doing?! What're you doing?! What're you doing?!"
Rinne: 'I can't feel the evil energy of the 100 thousand yen evil spirit anymore, either...' Rinne: "I plan on finding that out. Just who are you?"
---- 12.
Hanako: "I'm an elementary school star! I'm always the subject of rumors amongst the children."
Hanako: 'But on that day five years ago, he suddenly appeared.' Tsubasa: "Hakako of the toilet, prepare yourself!"
Tsubasa: "I'll exorcise you! Take this, holy ash!"
Tsubasa: "I see... so you're that ghost I was sure I exorcised back in elementary school..."
Rinne: "Juumonji." Sakura: "Rokudou-kun, who's that girl...?"
---- 13.
Tsubasa: "Hanako-san of the toilet. What mischief are you plotting by showing up now?"
Hanako: "Shut up! It's because of you I was forced out of the toilet..."
Hanako: "And I've been meandering the sky ever since then."
Rinne: "Meaning your exorcism failed." Tsubasa: "Hmph."
Sakura: "So Hanako-san of the toilet was real... at least as a ghost."
Rinne: "So do you have any intention of passing on?" Hanako: "Hmph."
---- 14.
Hanako: "I can't pass on so long as I haven't finished my revenge on this guy."
Tsubasa: "Hmph... even in the form of a helpless little girl, a ghost is a ghost. You gonna try fighting back?"
Hanako: "Just try me." Tsubasa: "!"
---- 15.
Rokumon: "The evil energy suddenly increased!" Rinne: "This evil energy..."
Rinne: "Instead of Hanako-san releasing it, it's like it's being fed into her from an outside source..."
Tsubasa: "Evil spirit begone!"
---- 16.
Hanako: "Hmph."
Hanako: "You think that'll work anymore?!" Tsubasa: "!"
---- 17.
Tsubasa: "Khh!"
Rinne: "T..." Sakura: "Toilet paper...?"
Tsubasa: "Bwaah!"
Rinne: "Hey, don't do that inside someone's house!" Sakura: "That's... kind of a gross attack..."
Hanako: "Don't think I'm through with you."
Sakura: "She disappeared?!" Rinne: "Outside!"
---- 18.
Hanako: "Too bad for you! I've got this old guy with me!" Sakura: "Wha..." Rinne: "It's huge!"
Rinne: 'That 100 thousand... I mean evil spirit is givin Hanako-san power?!'

Chapter 23

Title: "The Price of Power"
subtext: "The target is 100 thousand yen. Does Hanako-san hold the key?!"
---- 2.
Tamako: "The name of this evil spirit is Toichi. And it isn't just a single entity."
Rinne: "Not a single entity...?" Tamako: "Various spirits gathered together to form a single evil spirit. That's why the reward and number of people looking for it are so high."
---- 3.
Hanako: "I've got this old guy with me!"
Rinne: "Hanako-san of the toilet has been borrowing power from the evil spirit Toichi."
Tamako: "That's no good. You have to separate them as soon as possible."
Rinne: "What do you mean... Obaa-chan?"
Tamako: "I thought I told you..."
---- 4.
Tamako: "Not-to-call-me-thaaaaat." Rinne: "Owowowow!
Tamako: "Hanako-san of the toilet is usually a docile spirit."
Tamako: "She doesn't have the power to hurt people. The fact that she's borrowing power for the sake of revenge,"
Tamako: "is the same as incurring a debt with high interest." Rinne: "A debt..."
Tamako: "And the way to repay it..."
---- 5.
girl: "Eeeek! What is this?!" girl: "There's trouble in the bathroom!"
girl: "Ewww, this is grossing me out." graffiti: "Stupid Tsubasa" "Hanako was here!"
guy: "The men's restroom is the same." girl: "It looks like the same has happened to every toilet in the school."
---- 6.
Sakura: 'Hanako-san of the toilet's revenge has increased in severity.'
kid: "Is that 'Tsubasa' the transfer student Juumonji Tsubasa?"
Tsubasa: "That's right, it's me."
---- 7.
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun." Tsubasa: "This isn't a matter of simply stopping the pranks of a childish ghost."
Tsubasa: "There's no need to hold back anymore. If Hanako-san of the toilet is an evil spirit, then I will exterminate her thoroughly!"
Tsubasa: "!"
Tsubasa: "There you are!" guy: "Ooh, rapid-fire!"
---- 8.
Tsubasa: "However, these holy ash balls are a blend 10 times stronger than my usual evil spirit fare!"
Sakura: 'Hanako-san!' Tsubasa: "Hmph."
---- 9.
Sakura: 'She escaped outside!'
Hanako: "Old man! Hey, old man!"
Toichi: "Hey there~" Hanako: "I don't have enough power!"
Hanako: "Give me more power! As much as I can handle!"
---- 10.
Tochi: "Very well~"
Rinne: "You can't take that power!"
Hanako: "?!"
---- 11.
Rinne: "Do you have any idea what will happen if you borrow that power?!"
Hanako: "Huh? What are you talking about?"
---- 12.
Rinne: "The payment you'd give in return for borrowing power for the evil spirit Toichi... is you yourself!"
Hanako: "Huuh?"
Rinne: "I'm saying that you'd turn into an evil spirit yourself, and be absorbed into the evil spirit Toichi."
Rinne: "He lends power to weak spirits like you and then in return absorbs them, and has a result has grown to that size!"
---- 13.
Tsubasa: "After hearing that, there's no way I can leave it alone."
Rinne: "!"
Rinne: "Juumonji..."
---- 14.
Tsubasa: "Take this! Holy ash ball ten-times blend!"
Rinne: "!"
---- 15.
Tsubasa: "Hmph, took it down." Sakura: 'Rokudou-kun...'
Sakura: "Huh, it divided."
---- 16.
Toichi: "Huhuhuhu, that didn't hurt at all."
Tsubasa: "Impossible! My holy ash didn't work?!" Sakura: "They kinda look like dango." (note: dango are round dumplings)
Tochi: "Now, Hanako. It's time for you to become part of my body!"
Hanako: "I'm not listening to you!"
---- 17.
Rinne: "Mamiya Sakura! Juumonji!"
Sakura: "What is it, Rokudou-kun?!"
Rinne: "Take care of Hanako-san!"
Hanako/Tsubasa: "Wha?!" Sakura: "Right, got it!"
Rinne: "Rokumon!" Rokumon: "Right, Rinne-sama!"
Rokumon: "An evil spirit-slaying scythe! This thing cost five thousand yen!"
---- 18.
Rinne: 'Even so, my mark is coming!'

Tsubasa: "That Rokudou, does he intend to defeat that evil spirit by himself?" Sakura: "Rokudou-kun..."
Rokumon: "Go for it, Rinne-sama! It's 100 thousand yen, remember!" Sakura: "100 thousand yen?!"

---- 4.
Rinne: "You who lends power to weaker ghosts, turning them into evil spirits and absorbing them, evil spirit Toichi who continues to reside in this world. With this shinigami scythe I purify thee and lead thee to the next world."
Tsubasa: 'Shinigami scythe...?!'
---- 5.
Toichi: "Ridiculous! Just who do you think you'll be sending to the next world?"
Rinne: "Purify the first!"
Sakura: "!"
---- 6.
mini-Toichi: "Ahhh, somehow... it feels so warm and nice..."
Tsubasa: "Wha... it passed on?!" Rokumon: "Way to go, Rinne-sama!"
Tsubasa: 'But why... even my holy ash couldn't exorcise it...'
Rinne: "May the second come forward."
---- 7.
Toichi-group: *whisper whisper*
Rinne: "!"
Sakura: "!"
---- 8.
Sakura: "Are they after Hanako-san again?!"
Rinne: "Evil spirit Toichi, don't do anything useless now!"
Toichi: "It isn't useless!"
Toichi: "The irrational grudge Hanako holds over being driven from the toilet is the source of an evil spirit's power!"
Tsubasa: "Hanako of the toilet!" Hanako: "What do you want, idiot?"
---- 9.
Tsubasa: "It was wrong of me to drive you from the toilet! I'm sorry!"
Tsubasa: 'I didn't want to use this technique, but...'
Tsubasa: 'It looks like it's my responsibility to protect Hanako.'
Rinne: 'He discarded his holy ash?!'
---- 10.
Rinne: "A Bible?!"
Toichi: "You think I'll pass on because of a Bible?! I'm of a different creed!"
---- 11.
Tsubasa: 'Bible Corner Crush!'
Sakura: "Aah!"
Sakura: "He struck him with the corner!"
---- 12.
Tsubasa: "You..."
Tsubasa: "shall not pass!" Toichi: "Ow! Bah! Stop it!"
Rinne: "Not bad, Juumonji, striking with the corner of a book surpasses any difference in faith and must hurt more than I can imagine." text: "Please don't try this at home"
Rinne: "That's enough, Toichi..."
---- 13.
Rinne: 'Purification!'
---- 14.
Rokumon: "Toichi passed on..." Sakura: "Amazing..."
Tsubasa: "Phew..." Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun."
Sakura: "What's the matter? You look really tired..."
Tsubasa: "I guess I overdid it a bit..."
---- 15.
Tsubasa: "Bible Corner Crush is a great technique that I am only able to use once a week... it takes such a focusing of my power..." Sakura: 'That attack takes THAT much...'
Hanako: "And you used that to protect me. Why...?"
Tsubasa: "I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I allowed you to become fodder for an evil spirit."
Tsubasa: "I'm sorry for everything."
Hanako: ".... Oh fine..."

Rinne: "Now... what will you do, Hanako-san?"
Rinne: "If you intend to ride the Wheel of Rinne and be reincarnated, then I can take you there..."
Hanako: "Okay..."
Sakura: "You're going to pass on, right, Hanako-san?"
---- 17.
Rokumon: "Rinne-sama, we have to get the reward before we leave!" Rinne: "Huh...?"
Rokumon: "Don't 'huh?' me! The 100 thousand yen, man, the 100 thousand yen!"
Rinne: "Ah, that's right..." Rokumon: "You forgot?!"
Rinne: 'Honestly, with everything going on I had forgotten about it... But...'
---- 18.
Rinne: '100 thousand yen, huh...'
Tsubasa: "He's a shinigami... sort of?"
Tsubasa: "Rokudou-kun...?" Sakura: "Yeah. But he's sort of human, too."
---- 19.
Sakura: "He's a nice shinigami."
Tsubasa: 'Mamiya-san... why are you making that face?'
Tsubasa: 'Don't tell me you and Rokudou are...?!'
Sakura: "The 100 thousand yen was immediately siezed by the debt collectors? That's a pity." Tsubasa: 'Pity?'
preview: "Rinne magnificently defeats the evil loanshark spirit Toichi! However, his own debt problems seem to be presently unresolved..."

Sakura: "Welcome!" text: "And in our first year, class 4 coffee shop..."
Mari: "This is my class, Sempai." ghost: "Ahh, I see, heh heh heh." text: "HE appeared"
---- 3.
Mari: "It's like a dream that you would come to visit, Sempai." ghost: "I haven't since I graduated middle school, heh heh heh."
Sakura: 'He'd come along with a girl in my class, Mari-chan.' Mari: "Have you been well, Sempai?"
Rika: "I wonder what's up with Mari-chan..." Miho: "She's talking to herself."
ghost: "I've been good. I just wanted to see you all of a sudden, Mari, heh heh heh."
Sakura: 'Rika-chan and Miho-chan can't see him... I wonder if he's a ghost...'
---- 4.
Tsubasa: "I smell it. The presence of an evil spirit."
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun..."
Rika: "Juumonji-kun, you're supposed to be outside bringing in customers." Miho: "You can't come back here." Tsubasa: "Hmph."
Tsubasa: "Holy ash!" guy: "Uwah!"
guy: "Wh, what the?!" guy: "Cough cough cough"
Sakura: 'Where's the ghost?!'
---- 5.
Sakura: 'He vanished?!' Mari: "What the?! Man..."

Sakura: "Mari-chan!"
Mari: "Sempai! Where are you?"
ghost: "Mari~ I'm over here~ Heh heh heh."
Sakura: "Ah..."
Sakura: "Sempai!"
Sakura: "Mari-chan, don't!"
---- 7.
Sakura: "! Rokudou-kun!"
Rinne: "Hah!"
Mari: "Whoa!"
---- 8.
Sakura: "Wha... a pumpkin?"
Rinne: "Were you intending to make her jump?" ghost: "Dammit, just a little more... heh heh heh."
Rinne: "Leading astray those who don't need to die, tempting them to the next world with your dirty tricks..."
Rinne: "You're Damashi-gami, aren't you." (note: due to Japanese's lack of plurals, it's hard to tell if "Damashi-gami" refers to a group of individuals or if it's a title of one specific individual)
Sakura: 'Damashi-gami!'
ghost: "Heh heh heh. An unexpected interference has appeared."
Rinne: "That was close." Sakura: "Yeah, but you knocked her out."
---- 10.
Mari: "Huh? I looked like I was going to jump off the roof? No way."
Sakura: "So you don't remember." Tsubasa: "Damashi-gami?! Is that different from an evil spirit?" Miho: "What's this?"
Sakura: "Hey, Mari-chan, that guy..."
Mari: "He's Kimura-sempai from middle school."
Sakura: "Umm, so were you dating or something...?" Mari: "Oh no, I was pretty sure it was unrequited love..."
---- 11.
Mari: 'Kimura-sempai was so cool, he was the object of adoration for every girl in the school, and even I sent him a love letter once, but...'
Mari: 'He graduated without giving me a reply, so I figured that was that.... Until today suddenly...' ghost: "Hey, Mari, long time no see."
Mari: "I get the feeling this is the start of something." Tsubasa: "What are you so optimistic for..."
Rinne: "I'm sorry to have to tell you this now, but..."
Mari: "Huh?"
Mari: "Sempai... died?"
---- 12.
Rinne: "That's right... last year, in an accident."
Kimura: "And as I thought I was going to heaven..."
Kimura: "A strange pumpkin-headed person appeared." ghost: "Heh heh heh~ I like your face."
Tsubasa: "He switched your faces?!" Sakura: "Um, so you're..." Kimura: "I'm Kimura." Rinne: "He was hiding out on campus."
---- 13.
Mari: "Umm... so who are you guys talking to?"
Sakura: 'Mari-chan can't see the pumpkin-headed ghost.'
girl: "Eeeh?! Kimura-sempai came?!" girl: "Eee, I wanna see him!"
Mari: "Those are girls I went to middle school with!"
ghost: "Hey, everyone~ I came to see you all~ heh heh heh~"
---- 14.
girl: "Sempaaai~" girl: "Kimura-kuun~!"
Sakura: "Mari-chan!" Mari: "I can't have this!"
Rinne: "Those girls are..." Kimura: "The girls who gave me love letters."
Kimura: "Damn him, how dare he use my beautiful face..."
ghost: "Come to me~ Let's have a party together, heh heh heh."
---- 15.
Rinne: "Oh no!"
Sakura: "Mari-chan!" Mari: "Let me go, I want to go too!"
---- 16.
Sakura: "Ah!"
Sakura: "Mari-chan!" Tsubasa: "You fool!"
Rinne: "Tch."
---- 17.
ghost: "Farewell. Heh heh heh."
Tsubasa: "He vanished..." guy: "Huh? Was it my imagination..." guy: "Or did a bunch of girls just disappear at once?"
Sakura: "Rokudou-kun, those girls who disappeared..."
Sakura: "A Damashi-gami inflates his quota by taking people who haven't died yet to the next world, right? At this rate, Mari-chan and those other girls will..."
---- 18.
Rinne: "I've already taken preemptive measures. He'll definitely come back."
Sakura: "Eh..." Tsubasa: "Now that you mention it, I saw you throw something in at the moment Damashi-gami disappeared..."
Rinne: "He won't get away. Above all else, I won't lose to Damashi-gami."
preview: "Cool Rinne is on fire! Does he have some connection with Damashi-gami?! Next issue, fraud shinigami vs. kind-of shinigami!"

Rinne: "Yah."
Rinne: "There, with this outfit I won't stand out." Sakura: "You just mugged him..."
---- 3.
Rika: "What's he doing?" Miho: "Dunno..."
Tsubasa: "Rokudou, you really think the damashi-gami is coming back?" Rinne: "There's no doubt."
Sakura: 'A damashi-gami is a bad shinigami that inflates his quota by luring people who haven't died yet into the next world.'
Sakura: 'He appeared at my school festival.'
---- 4.
Rinne: "How do I look?" Sakura: "Whoa." Tsubasa: "You ask how you look, but..."
Miho: "Eeeeh, Rokudou-kun?!" Rika: "It looks good on you, you're so cute!"
Rinne: "A damashi-gami is very greedy. He'll definitely take my bait."
Tsubasa: "By 'bait', you mean... that thing you threw in right before the damashi-gami vanished?"
---- 5.
letter: "Dear Kimura-sempai. Sorry for my sudden letter (>.<) I am totally, madly in love with you! Please let me be your girlfriend! Squee!"
Damashi-gami: "From a girl in year 1, class 4."
Sakura: "Eh? He came."
Damashi-gami: "Which girl is it? The one who sent me the love letter, heh heh heh."
---- 6.
Sakura: 'L, love letter?!'
Tsubasa: "The bait was a love letter?!" Rinne: "I wrote it in a hurry back then."
Tsubasa: 'W, what?! He could write something like that during all that commotion?!'
Tsubasa: 'Shinigami are truly horrifying!' Damashi-gami: "Now then..."
Damashi-gami: "It was you!"
Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san!" Rinne: "Kh, what's going on?!"
---- 7.
Damashi-gami: "I'm so happy, you're just my type, heh heh heh." Sakura: "Er, no, you misunderstand."
Rinne: "Toh!"
Rinne: "I love you, Kimura-sempai." Damashi-gami: "Oh, you're a feisty kitten, aren't you, heh heh heh." Sakura: 'Kitten?'
Damashi-gami: "I don't turn down anyone who wants to come, heh heh heh."
Kimura: "Damn you, give me back my face!" Tsubasa: "Hey you, you leave Mamiya-san here!"
---- 8.
Miho: "Huh? Where'd Sakura-chan and the others go?" text: "Damashi-gami is invisible to normal humans."

Kimura-clone: "I love you." Kimura-clone: "I love you." Kimura-clone: "I love you."
---- 10.
Sakura: 'Look at all the Kimura-sempai-sans... Is this an illusion the damashi-gami is showing them?!'
Tsubasa: "Hey, let me out!" Sakura: "Hn?"
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun! Kimura-sempai-san!"
Damashi-gami: "Heh heh heh. There is a device in place that automatically restrains men who try to intrude." Sakura: "Ooh."
---- 11.
Rinne: "I see. This way you can gather all your victims in one place then ship them off to the next world at once."
Damashi-gami: "What?!"
Rinne: "To defeat Damashi-gami! Hakujittou!" (note: Hakujitsutou? Argh, another one of those Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga things)
---- 12.
girl: "Eek!" girl: "What is this?!" girl: "A puppet?"
Damashi-gami: "Th, this light...!"
Damashi-gami: "M, my face!" Rinne: "Hmph." Sakura: "It turned into a pumpkin?!"
Tsubasa: "Hey, your face..." Kimura: "Ah..."
---- 13.
Kimura: "It's back... my face!"
girl: "Kimura-sempai!" girl: "What are you doing there?!"
Damashi-gami: "D, damn you, what did you do?!" Rinne: "Hmph, this is..."
Rinne: "that which strikes fabrications with light and exposes them to broad daylight: Hakujittou! And I am..."
---- 14.
Rinne: "one who guides the lost dead to their rightful place and will not tolerate unjust deaths: A shinigami!"
Sakura: "Rokudou-kun, you're so cool..." Sakura: 'Now if only he wasn't wearing that skirt...'
---- 15.
Damashi-gami: "Heh heh heh, don't think you've won from this..." Rinne: "What?!"
Tsubasa: "Hey, everyone, snap out of it! This guy is already dead!" girls: "We don't care if he is!"
girl: "I'll die along with you!" girl: "Take me with you, Kimura-sempai!"
Sakura: "Everyone..."
Damashi-gami: "Heh heh heh, as long as you can't break those girls' attachment to Kimura, you people won't be able to escape from this dimension." Rinne: "Kh..."
---- 16.
Kimura: "I'm sorry, everyone... I'm really glad you all feel that way about me, but..."
girls: "Sempai..."
Kimura: "I'm... into older women."
---- 17.
Sakura: "Ah, he exploded."
Sakura: 'When the damashi-gami was destroyed, we returned to our world,'
Sakura: 'and Kimura-sempai-san passed on.' Rinne: "Can you go by yourself?" Kimura: "Yeah, thanks for everything."
Sakura: 'But I'm wondering about something.'
---- 18.
Sakura: 'Back then, Rokudou-kun said...' Rinne: "Above all else, I won't lose to a damashi-gami."
Sakura: 'If it wasn't out of a sense of justice, I get the feeling there may have been a deeper meaning behind that...'
announcer: "The winner of the crossdressing contest is Rokudou Rinne-kun! Your prize is one dozen cup ramen!" sign: "Mr. Lady" Rinne: "Like, thanks." Tsubasa: "What a cunning guy..."

---- 2.
Rika: "Oh no, I forgot something."
Rika: "Sakura-chan, Miho-chan, could you come to the art classroom with me?"
Sakura: "Sure, that's fine." narration: "It was that day after school..."
narration: "that something frightening happened." sfx: "GYAAAAAAH!" Rika: "Eh?! What was that?!"
---- 3.
Miho: "A boy's scream?!" Rika: "It came from the art class..." Sakura: "Let's go check."
Sakura: "!"
Sakura: "What happened?!"
---- 4.
guy: "Ooh..."
Miho/Rika: "EEEEEEEEKKK!"
narration: "That boy's face was painted pitch black." Miho/Rika: "Scary!"
Sakura: 'And on the canvas...'
Sakura: "Eh...? A picture of a girl...?"
---- 5.
Sakura: "!"
Sakura: 'A ghost...?!'
Sakura: 'She... has no face!'
---- 6.
Rinne: "A girl with no face... Is that what you saw, Mamiya Sakura?"
Sakura: "Well, naturally it creeped me out, too. I wonder what it was." Rinne: "In the art class, huh..."
Rokumon: "We've gotten this many requests about it in the past two or three days." Sakura: "Eeeeh?!"
Rinne: "The requestors are all male, and also..."
Rinne: "Are all part of the art club with a taste for drawing in manga and anime style."
---- 7.
text: "Testimony from the victims" guy: "I was attacked while I was alone after school." guy: "Me too." guy: "Me too."
guy: 'The girl always says the same thing.' ghost: "Draw me."
guy: 'Though strange, we don't feel fear at the time and start to draw,'
guy: 'But when it comes time to draw her face, we can't. The girl has no face, after all.'
guy: 'But if we don't draw one, the girl won't accept it. So...' guy: "How do you like it?" guy: 'We put in a lot of effort, but...'
---- 8.
ghost: "It doesn't look like me at all, you idiot!"
guy: 'She then paints over the portrait and the victim's face and leaves...'
Sakura: "In other words, this girl is... a ghost who can't pass on until someone draws her real face?"
Rinne: "It would be best to ask her in person."
---- 9.
Rinne: "You're coming with me, Mamiya Sakura?" Sakura: "Well, I'm curious."
Sakura: "Hm?"
Sakura: "The art class... the lights are on."
Sakura: 'Tsubasa-kun?!'
ghost: "Draw me."

Tsubasa: "Hmph, evil spirit..."

Tsubasa: "I'll exorcise you! Holy ash!"
Rokumon: "!"
Tsubasa: "Hmph, defeated, are you...?"
Sakura: "! Tsubasa-kun, look ou--"
---- 12.
ghost: "Whatever, hurry up and draw me!"
Sakura: "The holy ash didn't work?!" Rinne: "Tch!"
Rinne: "Hell Haori!" ghost: "!"
Rinne: "The Hell Haori is able to give a ghost a physical body when reversed!"
Rinne: "Hn?!"
Rinne: "She vanished?!" Rokumon: "Does that mean that that girl isn't a ghost?"
---- 13.
Sakura: "If she's not a ghost, then what..." Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san."
Tsubasa: 'So she was with Rokudou!'
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun, you were also asked to exorcise her?!"
Sakura: "Ah, my phone."
Miho: "Sakura-chan, sorry for running off and leaving you." Sakura: "It's okay, Miho-chan, it happens all the time."
Miho: "I went to go see Juumonji-kun about it." Sakura: "Oh, I see."
Tsubasa: 'Mamiya-san... you saw something frightening and immediately went to Rokudou.'
Tsubasa: 'Am I really that unreliable?! Not to mention you went to visit Rokudou who lives alone...'
---- 14.
Tsubasa: "If Rokudou assaulted you or something, what would you do?! You're too defenseless, Mamiya-san!" Rinne: "You're saying that out loud, you know."
Rinne: "That girl... may not be a person."
Tsubasa: "... What do you mean?" Sakura: "If she's not an evil spirit or a ghost, then..."
Rinne: "She's something's strong will..."
Sakura: 'Will...?! She's a will given physical form...?'
---- 15.
text: "The next day after school"
Sakura: "Will Powder?" sign: "Art class"
Rinne: "Yes, when this is sprinkled over a will, it reveals where that will is coming from. For that purpose, we need to summon that girl one more time."
Rinne: "So, Juumonji, start drawing a picture." Tsubasa: "Hang on."
Tsubasa: "Since when did I become your subordinate? You draw it."
Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun, Rokudou-kun is poor so he doesn't have a sketchbook." Tsubasa: "Mamiya-san, you're covering for Rokudou again..." Rokumon: "She's just telling the truth..."
---- 16.
guy: "Sigh..."
Rinne: "I really am poor." Tsubasa: "I know that." Sakura: "Ah."
guy: "Are you hoping to join this club?"
Sakura: "Ah..."
---- 17.
Rinne: "There she is!"
guy: "Eh...?!"
guy: "Captain...?!"
Rinne: "Captain?!" Tsubasa: "He knows her?!"

Chapter 28
---- 1.
Title: "Black and White"
---- 2.
text: "Captain of the Art Club, Year 2 Class 3, Egawa Suguru" (wtf is up with all the "kawa" names for the side characters?) Suguru: "I'd known about the rumors about the faceless girl. Still, to think that..."
Sakura: "Do you have an idea about what's going on? And about that girl..." ghost: "Draw me."
Suguru: "She..."
Suguru: "preceded me as captain, but she retired her position as Art Club Captain this fall."
---- 3.
Tsubasa: "The previous Art Club captain... so she's a real person." Sakura: "So, where is she now...?"
Suguru: "I don't know... I haven't seen her since she retired. I don't know why..."
Rinne: "So she ran into this house..."
Rinne: "It's a good thing I thought to use that Will Powder on her." Rokumon: "It's shining really brightly."
---- 4.
Rinne: "The Will Powder is leading into the drawer..."
Rinne: "An unfinished picture..."
Rinne: "So this is the true form of this 'will'..."
---- 5.
Suguru: "There's no doubt. This is my picture that was stolen!" Sakura: "You drew that picture, Egawa-sempai?"
Sakura: "He said it was stolen... Rokudou-kun, where did you get this?" Rinne: "It's about time for the culprit to arrive."
Hitomi: "What's this about a culprit?! It makes me look bad!"
Suguru: "Ah!" Rinne: "Previous captian of the Art Club, Year 3 Class 1, Egusa Hitomi, huh." (note: unlike every single other side character so far, her given name is actually written in kanji, which so far has only been reserved for recurring characters. She doesn't seem like a recurring character-type, but... I dunno)
---- 6.
Suguru: "Captain... you were the one who stole my picture?!"
Hitomi: "Egawa... Wh... why are you here?!"
Hitomi: "And this threatening letter..."
letter: "If you want the picture back, come to the art class during lunch."
Hitomi: "Did you do that?!" Suguru: "It wasn't me." Rinne: "I did it."
Rinne: "Now talk to me. Just what kind of picture is this?"
---- 7.
Rinne: "The 'will' of this picture has taken physical form and is attacking male students. She's painting her victims' faces black."
Sakura: "Um... so why is this picture missing a face...?"
Suguru: "If that picture is causing that much trouble, just tear it up or burn it and be done with it."
Suguru: "Bye..." Sakura: "Egawa-sempai!"
Suguru: "I... drew the face properly."
Sakura: "Eh..."
---- 8.
Hitomi: "Hmph, that's right... I'm the one who erased the face!"
Sakura: "Eeh, but why?" Hitomi: "Because I hated it."
Hitomi: "Just leave me alone!" Sakura: "Ah!" Tsubasa: "Now what?"
Tsubasa: "Forget their personal issues, we found the picture causing all this. I think we should dispose of it immediately."
---- 9.
Rinne: "Looks like she doesn't agree." Tsubasa: "Heh..."
Tsubasa: "Exorcism!" Rinne: "Holy ash won't work."
ghost: "This isn't over!"
Sakura: "She escaped!" Rinne: "This is bad."
---- 10.
Suguru: "Sigh..."
Suguru: "What a shock... My picture was stolen by the captain..."
Suguru: "But erasing the face... did she really hate my picture that much?"
Suguru: "Or maybe I just creeped her out by drawing her without her consent. She hasn't shown her face in the art class since she retired, after all." Rinne: "Oh." Tsubasa: "What an easily-comprehendable monologue."
Hitomi: "I had suspected a bit that Egawa was secretly drawing pictures of me."
---- 11.
Sakura: "Umm, so you didn't like that?" Hitomi: "...."
Hitomi: "Mamiya-san... you're a girl, so I think you'd understand..."
Sakura: "Yes?"
Hitomi: "You'd want a picture of you to be pretty, right? Wouldn't you?"
Sakura: 'Ah... now that she mentions it, though the will of the picture was demanding the other boys to draw a face... it was only to Egawa-sempai...'
ghost: "Don't draw me!"
---- 12.
Sakura: 'Just what kind of terrible picture did he...' Hitomi: "I made a lot of effort to get them to draw beautifully!"
Hitomi: 'And even though I knew it was wrong, I snuck a peek inside Egawa's sketchbook.'
Hitomi: 'It was a shock!'
Sakura: "Huh?! Glasses?" Hitomi: "As soon as I found out he was secretly drawing me, I stopped wearing glasses and switched to contacts! And yet he still...!"
---- 13.
Hitomi: 'And though I knew it was wrong...' Hitomi: 'I'll just erase the glasses.'
Hitomi: 'Ah, crap, I erased the eyes, too! Oh no, and the nose!'
Hitomi: "While I was in the middle of doing that, I sensed Egawa returning, and if he discovered me..."
Suguru: "Ah! My picture is gone!" Hitomi: 'I tore the picture out and hid!'
Rokumon: "This girl is a moron." Sakura: "You had to say it..." Hitomi: "Aaaah, I did such a horrible thing..."
---- 14.
Sakura: "!"
ghost: "If this face will remain incomplete..."
ghost: "Then you might as well have the same face as me..." Sakura: "!"
---- 15.
ghost: "I'll paint that face white!"
Hitomi: "EEEEEEK!"
---- 16.
ghost: "!"
Rinne: "That's far enough." Sakura: "Rokudou-kun..." sign: "Wet paint"
Rinne: "I heard everything." Hitomi: "Eh..." Sakura: "So you did."
Suguru: "So you hated the glasses..."
---- 17.
Hitomi: "Egawa!"
Hitomi: "I... I'm sorry... for doing that to your picture..."
Suguru: "No... It was going to be a present, after all."
Hitomi: "Eh..." Suguru: "I wanted an excuse to see you even though you'd retired from the club. Also..."
Suguru: "In all my happy memories of you, captain, you were always... wearing glasses."
Hitomi: "Like this?" Suguru: "Yes, just like that."
---- 18.
Sakura: "Looks like it was a mutual affection." Rokumon: "Or a two-sided unrequited love." Tsubasa: "Man, what a pain."
Sakura: 'The picture was completed by Egawa-sempai's hand,'
Sakura: 'and the case of the 'faceless girl' was settled.'
Sakura: "Looks like you made a profit this time." Rinne: "I'm in the red. Will Powder is expensive." Tsubasa: "A guy with no money... huh."
preview: "A faceless picture ended up bringing together two clumsy lovers. <3 A case that caused a lot of trouble, settled safely!"

Tsubasa: "This is dangerous." Sakura: "Tsubasa-kun."
Tsubasa: "You're mistaking sympathy towards a guy in a weakened state for love. It's a common story. But you're making a mistake, Mamiya-san." Rokumon: "If I could give that idiot this cold, I would." Rinne: "Agreed."

Sakura: "Damashi-gami?!"

Sakura: "Why would damashi-gami be attacking Rokudou-kun?"
Tsubasa: "It said his family sent them." Sakura: "But his grandmother wouldn't do something like that."
Rinne: "Who sent you?" damashi-gami: "Hmph..."
damashi-gami: "I won't talk. No matter what you do to me..."
Rinne: "Oh?"
Rinne: "I'll give you my cold." sfx: *cough cough* damashi-gami: "Waaah, stop it!"
damashi-gami: "I'll talk." Sakura: "He will?"

Rokumon: "Hmph, it doesn't matter, Rinne-sama."
Rokumon: "Now that we've arrested a damashi-gami, we can get a reward. And then I'll buy us a warm blanket." Tsubasa: "But..."
Tsubasa: "Why is Rokudou that poor?" Sakura: "I heard the story from Rokumon-chan..."
Sakura: "His shinigami grandmother fell in love with a human man, and extended his life as he was about to die."
Sakura: "Extending his life created a debt, and it's been passed on to Rokudou-kun to repay..." Sakura: 'But...'

Sakura: 'That Obaa-san... didn't seem like the kind of horrible person to force her grandson to shoulder her own debt.'
Sakura: 'Rokudou-kun also doesn't seem to hold a grudge against her... It's strange...'

Rinne: "Dad..."
Sakura: 'Eh... his father...?!'
