Sousuke“Are you going to the hospital today, Kousei?”
Kousei“I’m not.”
Sousuke“How about our club activities, then? We’re gonna pick the members for the dance competition, y'know.”
Kousei“I don’t even know if I can participate, anyway. I’m goin’ home.”
Sousuke“But your injury is already healed, isn’t it? They say you only need to attend therapy.”
“If you stay like this, our club advisor will tell you to take a–Hey, Kousei!”
Kousei“Fine. I’ll just take a break from the club. And you really think I’m healed already? Look at this, I can barely move.”
Student A“Ghost photo? Dude, there’s no way something like that exists. You just photoshopped it, didn’t you?”
Student B“‘Sides, things like a spiritualist are downright uninteresting.”
Susukida“I-I said, you’ve got it wrong! I’m not lying–!”
Student A“Lies.”
Kousei“So noisy…”
Madoka(Nii-san truly looks like a different person on the stage. It’s as if he has been possessed by his character.)
Mother“Make sure to attend your therapy today, all right!? And go home by yourself once you’re done!”
Kousei“Yeah, yeah, I said I got it.”
+3Ghosts 10-1.png
Kousei“Like hell I’m gonna attend that therapy. *sighs*…Let’s go kill some time somewhere.”
“'Sides, the therapy does nothing for me. I can’t move my leg at all. It’s pointless.”
“Just when I got so pumped up thinking I’d get chosen for this year’s competition… Shit!”
Sora“1, 2, 3, 4–!”
Kousei“…What is that guy doin’? Suckass.”
“His steps are so weird.”
Sora“Huh!?”
Kousei“…Yikes, he heard me.”
Sora“Hey, hold on, hold on! Did you say something to me just now?”
Kousei“…Just ignore him. Getting myself involved would be such a pain.”
Sora“There’s no way he’d talk to me.”
“No one will see someone like me. I’m invisible. They can’t even hear my voice. My existence is unkn…”
Kousei“So gloomy! I mean, anyone will see if you dance in a place like this.”
Sora“What!? Me!? Really!?”
Kousei“Now I’ve gone and done it.”
Sora“Just now, you said my steps were weird–.”
Kousei“Like I said–You’re supposed to move like this. I have an injury right now so I can only move slowly, but–.”
Sora“Wow, awesome! You’re great, man!”
Kousei“What a weirdo… Bye, then.”
Sora“Ah, hold on, hold on! S-Say, can you teach me dancing!?”
Kousei“Why me… Do you not have any dance clubs in your school?”
Sora“I can’t go to school right now. Besides, I can only practice from evening to night. That’s why…”
Kousei“…I have physical therapy tomorrow.”
Sora“I see…”
Kousei“But I can come since I have quite free time.”
Sora“For real!? Say, can I bring my friends too!? I’m sure they’ll be happy! They’ve also been practicing dancing, after all.”
Kousei“Sure.”
Sora“My name is Sora Natsukawa!”
Kousei“I’m Kousei Kizu. Just call me Kousei.”
Sora“Nice to meet you, Kousei!”
Izumi(Misumi-kun is in his top form ever since he regains himself. Kumon-kun is also able to play Sora in his own way.)
+3Ghosts 10-2.png
Sora“He’s Minato Mizushima, and he’s Aoi Mochizuki!”
Aoi“Say, are we really going to be fine?”
Minato“U-Umm, can you hear us?”
Kousei“Are you makin’ fun of me?”
Minato“N-No!”
Aoi“Oh, wow! So we’re really going to be fine!”
Kousei“What on Earth are you sayin’…”
Sora“It’s nothing! Let’s start practicing right away!”
Kousei“Wait, wait, wait! Aoi, what? Huh? What’s happenin’?”
Aoi“What is it? Huh? Huh?”
Kousei“No, no, no! That should be my line, dude! How are your steps so light!?”
Aoi“Huh!? No way!? Is it that light!?”
Kousei“For real, man. Rather, you’re floating in the air right now.”
Aoi“Whoops, my bad! I kind of forgot about the gravitation!”
Kousei“Is that something you can forget about!?”
“1, 2, 3… Hey, Minato, is it just me or are you becoming invisible right now?”
Minato“Huh!? Really!? It’s just your imagination! Just your imagination!”
Kousei“I can’t see your feet.”
Minato“Maybe because it’s already dark here.”
Kousei“Oh, hey, hang on, I can see through your body!”
Minato“Huh? Maybe my presence is getting weaker~. Alright, I’ll do my best to make my presence known!”
Kousei“You think everything will be OK just by doing that!?”
+3Ghosts 10-3.png
Kousei“You’re doing pretty good now. Have you been dancing up until now?”
Sora“Ah, yes. We all come from different schools, but we’re in the same dance club.”
Aoi“It might be thanks to Kousei that my intuition came back.”
Minato“And you can finally move your injured leg, right, Kousei?”
Kousei“Well, matching my pace with you all turns out good for my physical therapy.”
Sora“You’ve also been attending your therapy these days, right?”
Kousei“Sort of, yeah. If I’m going to go to the hospital anyway, I might as well do it.”
Aoi“You’re doing great~.”
+3Ghosts 10-4.png
Sousuke“Hey, Kousei, it’s about time you show up to practice again. Your leg is already fine, isn’t it?”
Kousei“Well, yeah…”
Sousuke“We still haven’t completely decided on the members who will participate in the competition, so you still have time before the application deadline.”
Kousei“…I’ll think about it.”
Sousuke“Dude, do you even have motivation for this?”
+3Ghosts 10-5.png
Kousei“Why aren’t y'all goin’ back to your dance club?”
Minato“We do want to return if we can…”
Sora“We can’t even go to school.”
Kousei“Why? Are y'all being hospitalized or what?”
Sora“Well, I suppose you can see it that way.”
Aoi“Are you in a dance club, Kousei?”
Kousei“Sort of. I took a break due to my injury, though.”
Aoi“How nice~. Are you gonna participate in the national dance competition?”
Kousei“No idea. I don’t know if I’ll be chosen.”
Sora“I wanted to participate too.”
Minato“But Kousei still can make it. I’m sure you’ll be chosen since you’re working hard!”
Kousei“…You see, dance clubs are not the only ones allowed to participate in the competition. You can join if four people form a team.”
Sora“Four people…”
Minato“Are you talking about us?”
Aoi“Seriously!?”
Kousei“Who else, then?”
+3Ghosts 10-6.jpg
Sousuke“Kousei! Today you’ll come to–.”
Kousei“I’ve joined a different team for the competition.”
Sousuke“Haaah!?”
Kousei“I’m gonna be busy practicin’ with 'em, so I’m gonna take a longer break from club.”
Sousuke“Stop messing around! Do you know how long we all have been waiting for your return!? On that condition–.”
Kousei“My bad.”
Sousuke“Hey! You’re being too selfish here!”
+3Ghosts 10-7.jpg
Kousei“If we’re gonna join the contest, I needa think about the choreography…”
Man“Dance practice?”
Kousei“Huh? Y-Yeah.”
Man“My son also liked dancing, you see. Do you mind if I see you practice?”
Kousei“That’s fine with me.”
Man“It sure brings back memories… My son used to practice until night too. Is it like t-this?”
Kousei“You’ve got it all wrong.”
Man“Haha. I should have had him teach me how to dance.”
Kousei“Did your son quit dancing?”
Man“Yeah… It’s been years.”
+3Ghosts 10-8.png
Kousei“Let’s take a lil break.”
Aoi“Huh? Already?”
Sora“It’s been two hours, after all.”
Kousei“Y'all sure have so much energy.”
Minato“You think so?”
Aoi“I guess we all have infinite energy since the concept of body no longer works on us~?”
Kousei“The heck is that? That aside, you’ll be discharged before the competition, right?”
Sora“Y-Yeah, of course!”
Minato“I’ll use any means to join the competition!”
Aoi“Me too!”
Kousei“Great to know that, then. It must have been a letdown to get holed up in the hospital during summer break.”
Minato“I wanted to go to school…”
Kousei“School? Why?”
Minato“Because I couldn’t go there at all…”
Kousei“Wanna sneak out?”
Minato“Huh?”
Kousei“If you can sneak out for practice everyday, I’m sure you can go there, right?”
Minato“For real!?”
Aoi“Can we really go, though?”
Sora“I think we can if we’re with Kousei!”
Kousei“A'ight, it’s settled, then.”
+3Ghosts 10-9.jpg
Minato“Sneaking into school at night sure makes you nervous, huh.”
Kousei“Well, it sure feels different from going to school in the morning. Ghosts may even come out.”
Sora“Huh!? G-G-G-GHOOOSSST???”
Kousei“You’re freakin’ out too much.”
Minato“This makes me so happy. I’ve always wanted to go to school.”
Kousei“You’re exaggeratin’. Once you get out of hospital, you’ll have to go to school even if you hate it.”
Minato“You see, the truth is, I started missing school since junior high.”
“I’ve come to enjoy dancing after entering a dance club during high school. It made me think that I could attend school.”
“I worked hard at practice and aimed for the contest. But–.”
Kousei“I’m sure you’ll be discharged soon.”
Minato“…Yeah. Thanks, Kousei.”
Kousei“Like I said, you’re exaggerating. You can go to school soon.”
Sora“It might seem that way to you, Kousei.”
Aoi“Ah, in that case, I wanna see fireworks!”
Kousei“Let’s do it next week. You’re in?”
Aoi“Seriously!?”
Izumi(Muku-kun said he understood Minato’s feelings, and it really showed in his performance.)
+3Ghosts 10-10.png
Kousei“This place sure is packed. I feel like we’ll keep bumping into peeps.”
Aoi“You’re right.”
Minato“What a crowd.”
Kousei“But hey, hold on, how can you guys walk that easily!? It’s like you’re slipping through them! How do you do that!?”
Sora“We’re, we’re not!”
Kousei“No, no matter how man–.”
Susukida“Eeek!!”
Kousei“What’s with that guy?”
Aoi“Do you know him?”
Kousei“He’s my classmate. We’ve never talked before, though.”
Sora“He looked surprised when he saw us.”
Kousei“What a weird guy.”
Aoi“Ah, it’s the fireworks!”
Kousei“But we can’t see them behind these trees!”
Sora“Haha. We could only hear the sound.”
Kousei“Let’s move.”
Aoi“No, it’s fine.”
Kousei“But you wanted to see fireworks, didn’t you?”
Aoi“This is already fun enough.”
“I didn’t have any friends before, you see. Ever since I got ignored by the guys I was close with at junior high, I was afraid to make friends. I’d always been alone at the dance club.”
“That’s why dancing and watching fireworks with my friends like this made me so happy.”
Kousei“I see… Good for you.”
Izumi(Kazunari-kun doesn’t call himself the fireworks leader of Summer Troupe for nothing. He’s really having fun, as if he’s watching big fireworks for real.)
Kousei“Next is Sora.”
Sora“Huh?”
Minato“You must have something you want to do, right, Sora?”
Sora“I… No, it’s fine.”
Kousei“Why?”
Sora“I want to make it come true, but at the same time, I don’t want to.”
Kousei“The heck is that?”
Aoi“It doesn’t hurt to say it.”
Minato“It’s definitely better to say it. If you don’t, we…”
Sora“I… I wanna meet my family.”
Kousei“You can’t meet them?”
Sora“Due to some circumstances… I can’t meet them face to face. But I want to see them at the very least, even if it’s just a glance.”
Kousei“I’ll do something about it, then.”
+3Ghosts 10-11.png
Izumi(Despite planning a lot of things for Sora’s sake, Kousei gets mistaken as a suspicious person…)
Sora's Father“What is it that you want? Please cut this out!”
Kousei“Ah, wait a minu–. Inviting him without mentioning Sora’s name at all is too difficult. *sighs*.”
Sora's Father“I’m going to call the police if you do this again.”
Kousei“Please hear me out. I’m not a suspicious person. My name is Kousei Kizu–I’m a friend of Sora Natsukawa–.”
Sora's Father“Sora's…?”
Kousei“Sora said he wanted to meet you. Can you come with me?”
Sora's Father“Sora… No way…”
“Can I really meet Sora?”
Kousei“Huh? Where are you–Oh well, whatever! Please come with me!”
+3Ghosts 10-12.png
Izumi(Promising to let him meet Sora, Kousei brings Sora’s father to a nearby riverside…)
Kousei“Like I said, he wanted to meet you too. Just meet him face to face.”
Sora“I can't…”
Kousei“Why!?”
Sora“I just can't…”
Minato“Kousei, Sora himself really wants to meet his father.”
Kousei“Then why–.”
Sora's Father“So where’s Sora?”
Kousei“Ah, uh, umm…”
Aoi“Ah, fireflies!”
Minato“Wow, it’s so pretty…”
Sora“This takes me back. I used to come here to see fireflies with my family…”
Sora's Father“I see… So you’re home, huh, Sora. Kousei-kun, thank you for helping me meet Sora.”
Kousei“Huh? I don’t really get it, but I guess he kinda accepted it~?”
Sora“Thanks, Kousei. My dream came true because of you.”
Kousei“Huh, yeah. But is this really okay? You didn’t meet him face to face.”
Sora“Yep. It’s enough for me.”
Kousei“Now we’ve only gotta wait until you’re discharged from the hospital and join the competition.”
Sora“…Yeah. I’ll have no regrets left once we join the contest.”
Kousei“Well, since we’re joining the contest anyway, I also want to win something.”
+3Ghosts 10-13.png
Kousei“There’s no point in going to school. I should have skipped.”
Student A“Like I said, you probably edited it, right?”
Student B“Just admit it already.”
Susukida“I’m not lying! Give me back my phone!”
Kousei“So noisy…”
“…”
Student A“H-Hey!”
Kousei“Leave him the fuck alone, man. Here you go.”
Susukida“Tha, Thanks…”
Student A“Tch, fucking boring.”
Susukida“Umm, Kizu-kun, you came to the fireworks festival, didn’t you?”
Kousei“Haaah? Yea.”
Susukida“You’re being possessed, Kizu-kun.”
Kousei“Huh? By who?”
Susukida“Spirits of the dead.”
Kousei“Haaah!? The fuck are you sayin’? Bullshit.”
+3Ghosts 10-14.png
Sora's Father“We met here before, right? I remember coming here.”
Kousei“Ah, Sora's…”
Sora's Father“If you don’t mind, can you keep these for me?”
Kousei“What are those?”
Sora's Father“Dance videos that Sora collected to study and videos of his performances. I suppose it might be helpful to you.”
Kousei“In that case, you can just return it to Sora…”
Sora's Father“I do want to do it. But I ended up feeling reluctant and kept them as a memento.”
Kousei“Memento…?”
+3Ghosts 10-15.png
Sora“You’ve heard from my dad, right, Kousei?”
“Five years ago, we were riding the same bus to go to a dance contest. But our bus flipped over midway and we couldn’t be saved.”
Kousei“You’re lying.”
Minato“It’s the truth. Do you know why we can float in the air or how we have weak presences? It’s because we are ghosts.”
Aoi“See? We look like ghosts, don’t we? No, I mean, we are indeed ghosts.”
Kousei“Are you for real, dude!? I see!?”
Sora“I’ve actually wondered why you didn’t notice it all this time.”
Kousei“One usually would not notice such a thing, y'know!”
Minato“No, I think it’s the exact opposite.”
Kousei“Hey, how about the dance contest, then!? Can ghosts even join!?”
Sora“Sorry… In the first place, there’s barely anyone who can see us…”
Minato“It’s impossible.”
Aoi“I think people who have sixth sense can see us, though.”
Kousei“I don’t have such a thing, though.”
Sora“Maybe it’s because we share the same feelings that you can see us, Kousei. We all want to join the dance contest.”
Minato"I wanted to join the contest…”
Sora“But Kousei’s the only one who can see us… Besides, you need at least two people to join the contest.”
Aoi“Sorry, Kousei…”
Kousei“What are you apologizing for!? Y'all want to join the contest, don’t you!? You’ll definitely join!”
Sora“Kousei…”
+3Ghosts 10-16.png
Izumi(Thus, in order to make up the number, Kousei asks Sousuke from the dance club to help him…)
Kousei“I’m begging you, Sousuke. I want to look for someone from the dance club who can join my team.”
Sousuke“You really are asking too much. Besides, you’re the one who chose them over the dance club.”
Kousei“I know. But I have to participate in this contest no matter what.”
Sousuke“I’ll join your team.”
Kousei“Huh?”
Sousuke“The contest is in three days. Do you really think there’s anyone who would be willing to join your team so suddenly like that?”
Kousei“Then why are you…? To begin with, you’ve been chosen to represent the dance club.”
Sousuke“The dance club has a lot of substitutes. We have prepared so that anyone can take over anytime.”
Kousei“But–.”
Sousuke“I want to take part in the competition with you. I’ve told you I’d wait, right?”
Kousei“Sorry, and thanks.”
Izumi(Tenma-kun has already said this, but he really is perfect for the role.)
(No matter what he says, in the end Sousuke is very helpful and compassionate, and Tenma-kun shows that side of him well.)
Kousei“Say, Susukida! You can see ghosts, can’t you!?”
Susukida“Huh?”
Kousei“You said you saw ghosts at the fireworks festival.”
Susukida“Y-Yeah.”
Kousei“Do you know a way to make other people able to see ghosts?”
Susukida“Maybe with… psychic photography.”
Kousei“Psychic photography… That’s it!!”
+3Ghosts 10-17.png
Sousuke“I thought you were lying when you said they’re ghosts, but you were not.”
Sora“Never would have I thought you’d come with an idea of having us dance on the screen.”
Sousuke“Hey, are they all here?”
Susukida“Y-Yeah.”
Minato“Susukida-kun can’t hear our voice too.”
Aoi“To think that we’d be able to join the competition…”
Sora“Thanks so much, Kousei.”
Izumi(Yuki-kun did a good job expressing Susukida’s delicate feelings and how happy he was when the others used his ability.)
+3Ghosts 10-18.png
Izumi(Then, on the day of the competition…)
(They all look like they’re having fun.)
(Especially Misumi-kun… I can tell he’s really having fun when he dances on stage with the others.)
(I can tell they’re fully enjoying this moment in this summer… That feeling of theirs is overflowing…)
Kusumi
(Misumi’s performance reminded me of Father’s plays… That’s right… I, too, wanted to create that kind of play.)
+3Ghosts 10-19.png
MC“The winner of this contest is… Sakai High’s dance club!”
*applause*
Kousei“I thought we’d at least win a prize, but it didn’t turn out like that.”
Sora“I’m happy enough to be able to stand on the stage.”
MC“The Special Recognition Award goes to… +3Ghosts!”
Kousei“Huh…”
Sousuke“Seriously!?”
Kousei“Special Award…”
Sousuke“We won that! Come on, Kousei, go get that throphy! Ah no, I mean, Kousei and you three!”
+3Ghosts 10-20.png
Sora“–Special Award? Us?”
Minato“I can’t believe it…”
Aoi“Isn’t that awesome!? Yaaay!!”
MC“Your creativity was wonderful. Not only that, but your performance was also highly-praised due to the fact that we could sense the characteristics of the people on the screen. Congrats.”
Kousei“Thank you…!”
“Hey, you three, come on, hold the tro–ah, right, you can’t.”
Aoi“Hahaha. Let’s just pretend we’re touching the trophy~.”
Sora“Wow! I still can’t believe it! We won a prize!”
Minato“I’m really happy.”
+3Ghosts 10-21.png
Susukida“Let’s take a pic! Look here, guys!”
Kousei“–.”
Sora“Thanks, Kousei, Sousuke-kun, Susukida-kun.”
Aoi“We have no regrets left.”
Minato“It’s sad, but I’m glad I wasn’t alone.”
Kousei“Huh?”
Sora“I’m glad I could meet Kousei.”
Aoi“See you!”
Minato“I hope we can dance together again one day.”
Kousei“Wait a minute, hey!”
Sousuke“Kousei?”
Susukida“They disappeared…”
Kousei“Why!? They should have said that kind of thing sooner! I could have prepared myself mentally.”
Susukida“Take a look at this, Kizu-kun.”
Sousuke“They all held the trophy.”
Kousei“Haha. Their presences are as weak as ever.”
Izumi(A nice smile filled with sorrow… As if marking the end of a summer, the curtain closes…)
+3Ghosts 10-22.png
MisumiThanks~!
Kumon–*sobs*!
MisumiThere, there, Kumon. Huggies~!
KazunariMe too!
MukuGood for you, Kyu-chan!
YukiYou’re crying too much.
TenmaHey, come on, introduce yourself. Good grief.
Hiro
There’s no mistaking it… Friends are the best treasure in one’s lifetime.
+3Ghosts 10-23.png
KumonSorry for intruding.
MadokaYes. Welcome.
KazunariHakkaku-san’s mansion is super elegant!
MukuIt does feel like this place belongs to Hakkaku-san.
IzumiIs it really okay for us to come here?
MadokaYes.I think my grandfather will be happy if lively people come here.
MisumiI’m so happy I could come here with you all~!
Izumi(Well, Misumi-kun is happy. That’s good enough.)
KazunariSo this is where Hakkaku-san usually wrote…
TenmaThis is truly a great place; it’s close to the mountain and the sea.
YukiAnd it’s quiet here.
Kusumi…Ah, found it.
This is what you’re looking for, right?
IzumiAh, thank you!
Tenma“White Beard Pirates”….
MisumiI watched this with Grandpa!
TenmaLooks like we got the right one.
KusumiLet’s visit the grave before it gets dark.
MadokaYes.
+3Ghosts 10-24.png
Misumi
Madoka
MisumiThank you for bringing me here.
Kusumi–.
–No, I should have brought you here sooner. Sorry.
MadokaI’m sorry, Nii-san.
MisumiIt’s all right. I’m glad I could come here today.
Madoka
MisumiLet’s make paper airplanes, Madoka!
TenmaYou’re gonna fly them here!?
YukiThat’s disrespectful, you know.
MisumiI’m gonna give Grandpa the paper airplane that flies the farthest!
IzumiLe-Let’s look for a wider area to do it.
MadokaI have this. I wasn’t the one who made it, though.
MisumiIt… looks similar to my paper airplanes…
MadokaWhen Nii-san took on the lead role for the first time, It flew from the window.
MisumiSo you’ve been keeping it…!
Let’s play more and more and make paper airplanes!
IzumiHow about the papers, though?
MisumiAh…
MadokaI think we can use the papers in the mansion.
KusumiPlease use these.
Misumi?
MadokaFather, these are–.
(They’re manuscripts. They’re filled with words…)
KusumiIt’s garbage. I’m bringing them here because I want to burn it.
Madoka(This is Father’s handwriting… He kept writing and erasing his words… There’s a trace of his struggle.)
IzumiIs it really okay to throw them away?
Kusumi…I had always felt like I submerged into a dark mire, you see. But now I could finally get rid of that feeling.
It’s all thanks to you, Misumi, Madoka.
MisumiFather…
Madoka(There’s a lot of unfinished stories that disappear without seeing the light of the day like this.)
(At the very least, I shall remember those stories. Then, one day–.)
+3Ghosts 10-25.png
TenmaOkay, I’m sure this time I’ll–.
KumonI’m done!
KazunariIt’s all set!
MisumiAlright, let’s go! Three, two, one!
Muku–Wow, it’s flying!
KumonAwesome! Mine flies that far!
TenmaNot again! Mine fell down right away!
KazunariGo, go~!
YukiJust as I thought, Triangle Alien’s flies the farthest.
MadokaYou’re amazing, Nii-san.
MisumiEhehe~!
IzumiThe white paper airplanes are dancing in the blue sky… This, too, is a summer-like thing.
