KIMIKA: "Hey, Mika..."
KIMIKA: "Does our school really have something like the seven mysteries?"
MIKA: "What? You don't know?! But they're super famous!"
MIHO: "Here she goes again..."
KIMIKA: "It's probably just another of your made-up stories, anyway."
MIKA: "Ah, I get it. You just don't want to hear about them, right?"
MIHO: "Well, you always tell stories and rumours that no one except you has ever heard about!"
MIHO: "Do you even gather evidence properly?"
KIMIA: "Yeah, I even heard Yukari Hasegawa talk about how much of a nuisance Mika is with this stuff!"
MIHO: "Oh, yeah! Me, too!"
MIKA: "...Really?"
MIKA: "I didn't think you know her that well, that you talk to each other!"
MIHO: "...Well, it's not... exactly like I heard it from her directly..."
MIHO: "But there's this friend that heard it from her..."
MIKA: "Hmm..."
MIKA: "Okay, I gotta ask, but... Isn't everyone kinda picking on me lately?"
MIHO: "What? No way!"
MIHO: "After all... No one wants you to make up some rumours about them in revenge!"
KIMIKA: "You can say that again!"
MIKA: "...Nngh, screw this..."
MIKA: "Yukari, do you have a moment...?"
YUKARI: "What are you so polite for? That's kinda creepy."
MIKA: "Please, I'm being serious!"
MIKA: "Yukari... Please tell me, honestly..."
MIKA: "Am I... a nuisance...?"
YUKARI: "W-what? What's this about all of a sudden?"
MIKA: "...Some friends said they heard you say that about me!"
MIKA: "But that's a lie, right?"
MIKA: "I mean... That's not true, is it?"
A: "No, I wouldn't say you're really a nuisance." B: "You're quite annoying."
A: "No, I wouldn't say you're really a nuisance." [X] B: "You're quite annoying."
YUKARI: "Not in particular..."
YUKARI: "I mean, you CAN be a bit noisy, but..."
MIKA: "...Is that really true?"
YUKARI: "I just said it, didn't I?! If you're asking me personally, you should at least believe me."
MIKA: "Phew, I knew it! I DID think: 'Nah, that can't be true!' immediately, when my friends said you had called me a nuisance."
MIKA: "They're not bad people or anything, but sometimes they spread some irresponsible rumours!"
MIKA: "I gotta scold 'em next time I see them..."
YUKARI: "Are you sure, YOU should complain about OTHERS spreading irresponsible rumours?"
MIKA: "Hey, don't lump me together with them!"
MIKA: "You know what kinda rumour they spread the other day? They claimed you and that biology teacher were actually dating!"
YUKARI: "W-wait, that rumour didn't come from you?!"
MIKA: "How mean! I'm the one who STOPPED it from spreading!"
MIKA: "I told them, there's no way someone like you would be dating that super lame, weird biology otaku of a teacher!"
YUKARI: "Hmm..."
YUKARI: "Is that teacher really so lame, though...?"
MIKA: "What?! He's, like, the lamest of lame!"
MIKA: "With that guy, I wouldn't even be surprised, if he was secretly talking to his turtles..."
MIKA: "Ugh... Just thinking about him is..."
YUKARI: "What's wrong with that?!"
MIKA: "Eh? ...What are you getting so mad for?"
MIKA: "...Huh? Wait... Don't tell me, it's actually..."
YUKARI: "...... (Oh Shit...!)"
YUKARI: "No, no, you're totally right. My bad."
YUKARI: "Thank you very much for stopping that silly rumour for me."
MIKA: "Well, as long as you understand how helpful I was and appreciate it!"
MIKA: "But let's say that you owe me one, now!"
MIKA: "And that brings me to my next topic! I'd like to ask something of you..."
YUKARI: "Hm?"

MIKA: "...Also..."
MIKA: "There's one warning with regards to searching for this school's seven mysteries..."
YUKARI: "What kind of warning?"
MIKA: "Well, basically, you have to solve the secret behind each of these mysteries between sundown and midnight."
YUKARI: "What? But that means we've only got 4 hours left!"
YUKARI: "What happens, if we don't?"
MIKA: "We get cursed by the curse of the seven mysteries!!"
YUKARI: "...the hell's that supposed to be?"
CHISATO: "Uhm, you know, I never heard anything about this before, so..."
CHISATO: "What are the seven mysteries of our school supposed to be?"
YUKARI: "That's what I wanna ask!"
YUKARI: "That's the most important part, after all. So, you do know all about them, right, Mika?"
MIKA: "Of course!"
"Number 1: The thirteen steps in the new school building..."
"The flight of stairs in the new school building that leads up to the roof usually only has 11 steps. However... When night falls, it has 2 more steps than usual, resulting in 13 steps..."
"And when that happens, the ghost of a dead male student is said to appear there..."
"They say, his whole body is covered in blood and he pretty much looks like a zombie. He will head for whoever counted the stairs at this time and ended up with counting 13..."
"He will force you to the edge of the stairs and try to make you meet the same fate as him..."
"Number 2: The cursed bust..."
"In the prep room for art class, there are several stone busts."
"But the truth is... one of them has an actual human skull embedded in it!"
"And when night falls... this bust cries tears of blood!"
"But the next day, all traces of the bloody tears are gone, as if they had never been there."
"Number 3: Ghostly voices..."
"If you go to the library at night, you can apparently hear the voices of ghosts talking from deep within."
"Several loud voices even..."
"At times, you might hear laughter amidst these voices..."
"Or you might hear wailing screams of agony..."
"Sometimes this is said to have continued for hours on end."
"Other times it apparently stopped immediately for some unknown reason."
"There are actually quite a lot of people who claim to have heard these voices..."
"Number 5: The skeleton in the prep room for biology class..."
"At a certain time, this skeleton is said to secretly start moving on its own..."
"This skeleton is possessed by the spirit of someone who is unable to realise that he is dead."
"This spirit moves the skeleton to use it to search for a real body."
"What he really wants is not the skeleton that barely moves as he wishes..."
"He wants a real human body to control."
"And if you stand for too long in front of this skeleton during the day..."
"...then he will memorize your face..."
"Number 6: The cleaning equipment container that won't open..."
"You know there's a prefab hut in the school's courtyard, right?"
"And within that hut, there is an old locker..."
"They say that the remains of a black cat were buried inside this very locker."
"Now, during the day this locker won't open, no matter what you try."
"Well, that alone is nothing too special, right?"
"However..."
"You can hear... it. At night..."
"You can hear the whining of the black cat that has been shut away in this locker."
"And the door of that locker that usually wouldn't open... It is when you hear the cat's whining, that this door can actually be opened."
"And those that have heard the cat crying, will... well..."
"Number 7: The ghost of the track-and-field club member..."
"He's running... He's simply running..."
"At night, when no one is there..."
"The ghost of this track-and-field student secretly runs on the campus track. He runs, and runs, and runs..."
YUKARI: "Number 4."
MIKA: "Huh?"
YUKARI: "You went from 3 straight to 5! Did you forget making something up for number 4?"
MIKA: "Again with the accusations... Jeez, I'm hurt, you know!"
MIKA: "Well, let's see... How about this?"
MIKA: "Number 4 is..."
YUKARI & CHISATO: "Number 4 is...?"
MIKA: "The mathematics teacher N and the P.E. teacher T are actually homosexual and are dating each other!"
YUKARI: "...... Sigh..."
MIKA: "Hey, since we're right in front of the biology prep room, anyway, why don't we start with investigating that room's mystery? Rumour 5!"
MIKA: "So, rumour number 5! The moving skeleton!"
YUKARI: "...which isn't moving at all, as far as I can see."
MIKA: "Well, you need to listen to the rest of its story!"
MIKA: "If you want to see phenomena like this, you need luck, time and preparation!"
A: "Hey, stop it." B: "Fine, I'll listen." C: "Say, Chisato..."
A: "Hey, stop it." B: "Fine, I'll listen." [X] C: "Hey, Chisato..."
MIKA: "Great, so... Listen well, okay?"
MIKA: "For this phenomenon, time is of the utmost importance!"
YUKARI: "Time...?"
MIKA: "Exactly..."
MIKA: "The skeleton in this room actually belonged to a criminal who got the death penalty."
MIKA: "But in truth he was innocent..."
MIKA: "And whenever the time of his death penalty draws near, his resentment over having been executed despite being innocent flares up and he starts moving!"
YUKARI: "Hold on!"
YUKARI: "Do they even execute people this late at night?"
MIKA: "Who knows? Do YOU know when they usually execute people?"
YUKARI: "...Well, no. I don't."
MIKA: "See?"
MIKA: "So let's check it out!"
YUKARI: (...I don't like staring at this...)
A: "Chisato, do you notice or feel anything strange?" B: "Mika, why is it still not moving?"
A: "Chisato, do you notice or feel anything strange?" [X] B: "Mika, why is it still not moving?"
YUKARI: "Chisato, what do you think?"
CHISATO: "Hm... I don't feel anything from it in particular..."
MIKA: "What? But those are human bones!"
MIKA: "You should at least feel something from them, shouldn't you?"
CHISATO: "Huh? This is... just a model, isn't it? Those aren't real bones."
MIKA: "Wait, this isn't a real skeleton?!"
YUKARI: "You must be joking, right, Mika?"
YUKARI: "Or are you really such an airhead? You thought this was a real skeleton? That's... Wow."
MIKA: "Shut up!!"
CHISATO: "......"
YUKARI: "...Is there an earthquake?"
MIKA: "No! It's like a poltergeist haunting! This has to be the skeleton's ghost's doing!"
YUKARI: "......"
CHISATO: "...Is it coming from below us?"
CHISATO: "Feels like it's coming from the basement."
A: "Let's check out the basement." B: "Let's run!" C: Look at the skeleton. [X]
A: "Let's check out the basement." B: "Let's run!"
A: "Let's check out the basement." [X] B: "Let's run!"
YUKARI: "Right below this room..."
CHISATO: "I think that's where the basement is..."
CHISATO: "Yukari!"
CHISATO: "The sound is getting louder and louder!"
YUKARI: "Yeah, right?"
MIKA: "Has this door always been here?"
CHISATO: "Yukari..."
YUKARI: "O-okay..."
A: "Let's have a look inside..." B: "Let's go back!"
