Rika: Sakura-chan, sorry about yesterday!
Friend: Running off without you like that...
Rika: Were you okay?
Sakura: Oh... / Don't worry about me.
Rika: But that instrument shelter legend... / In the end, it didn't even work!
Friend: Yeah, you just dropped your phone, after all...
Sakura: (Wait... she wants the phone that keeps getting calls from a ghost back?)
Rika: Do you think Rokudou-kun was just making the whole thing up?
Sakura: (Rokudou-kun...)

Kyoukai no Rinne
Chapter 3: Behind the Gym at Four
[Insert text: A florid Shinigami... / ...or something like that?]
Sakura: (Hm?! // What's with all the flowers?!)

3
[SFX: ding-do~~~~~ng]
Rinne: I guess... it's about time.
Students: He makes artificial flowers on the side. // Wow... I've never actually seen it first-hand.
Sakura: (Ah...)
Friend: Shall we go, Sakura-chan?
Sakura: Sorry - I can't... // You're going to meet the ghost, right?
Rinne: Mamiya Sakura... / Are you going to come with me?

4
Sakura: I am. // 'Cause it bothers me.
Rinne: Well, you know what to do when the time comes.
Sakura: Money as usual, huh...
Friend: Huh~~~?! Sakura-chan...
Rika: Since when is she so friendly with Rokudou-kun...?
Suzuki: ...Hm? / Rokudou...?
Rika: Ah... / Suzuki-sensei from gym class...
Suzuki: Huh... // He wears that thing to lessons, as well...?
Friend: Yes...
Rika: Come to think of it, there was that one time when the class tutor...
Teacher: Rokudou... where's your uniform...?
Rinne: Tch...
Teacher: Huh?! / Did he just... "tch" at me...?
Friend: He just didn't know what to say...
Rika: Yeah...

5
Suzuki: I see... // (I guess his family really must be short on...)
Sakura: (This is the place... // ...where the phone-call ghost had his accident...)

6
Rinne: Here goes.
Ghost: Get your ass down behind the gym at four! / Don't be late!
Sakura: (Without ever making it past this point... // He's repeating the same cycle, every day.)
Rinne: That's why we have to help him make it past this point.
Sakura: With that... / "Yomi no... Haori"?

7
Rinne: Indeed. The Yomi no Haori has the power to make the body of whoever wears it ethereal. // But if you flip it over...
Ghost: ?!
Sakura: Ahh...

8
Rinne: It can give ghosts physical form instead. / A handy reversible item.
Sakura: Huh...?!
People: Aaaaahhhhh~~! Something appeared out of nowhere!!
Rinne: This is the easiest way to move a spirit having trouble moving from the place where it died. / And it's free, to boot.
Sakura: That is handy.
Rinne: Well, then... // Shall we get going?

9
Ghost: Hm? / Going where?!
Rinne: ...... // To behind the gym.
Ghost: Why?
Rinne: ...You were going to meet someone here at four o'clock, right?
Ghost: ...I was?
Sakura: ...The shock of the accident seems to be affecting his memory...
Rinne: ......

[Side text: Character Profiles // Rokudou Rinne: Sakura's classmate. A "shinigami" who guides souls that can't pass on to the Wheel of Samsara? Swathed in mystery. // Mamiya Sakura: She was spirited away as a child, and has been able to see ghosts ever since.]
Rinne: (What a pain...) // If we can't get him to meet the person he was supposed to be meeting here, and fulfil his objective... // ...then we can't sever his ties to the material world... // And what's more, it's been about seven years since this guy became a ghost. / Without any leads...
Sakura: Wha~~t?! He's been a ghost for seven years?!
Suzuki: Ah - there you are! / Hey~~! Rokudou~!
Sakura: Suzuki-sensei from gym class...
Rinne: Tch... / Mamiya Sakura, get the Haori off the ghost. We don't want him being seen.
Sakura: Er, plenty of people saw him on the way here...
Suzuki: Could I have a moment?
Rinne: ...I'm kind of busy right now.
Suzuki: You don't have a school gym tracksuit, right? // So I just thought... / ...if you like...

11
Suzuki: It's second-hand... // ...but you can have this tracksuit top.
Sakura: (Oh...)
Suzuki: ...Something wrong? // I guess you don't want a second-hand tracksuit, huh?
Rinne: No, I... // Th... // Thank you very much...

12
Sakura: (Hm...? // He actually seems awfully happy...)
Suzuki: Then you'll take it?!
Rinne: If this is a dream, let me stay asleep...
Suzuki: Hahah... / The truth is, this tracksuit...
Sakura: Hm?
Suzuki: It actually belonged to a classmate of mine... / ...back when I was a student at this school. // He passed away in an accident...
Sakura: Um... are you starting to remember something?
Ghost: Hmmmmm... // Hmmmmmmm...
Sakura: (He's definitely reacting to that tracksuit...)

13
Sakura: Um... // Sensei, why do you have that tracksuit...?
Suzuki: Oh... / Well, that day, I accidentally took his tracksuit top home instead of mine... // His name was Suzuki as well, you see. // And later that day, I got this nasty phone call...
Flashback!Ghost: Get your ass down behind the gym at four! / Don't be late!
Suzuki: So I was going to meet up with him at four, and give his tracksuit back... // But before I could meet him, he got in an accident... // I've been keeping the tracksuit safe for him ever since... // But I thought that giving it to Rokudou would be putting it to a better use... // Huh...?! Suzuki-kun?!
Ghost: ...... // That's right. // I... noticed on my way home that I had the wrong tracksuit top...

14
Ghost: My beloved tracksuit top, on which the girl I liked had embroidered a message for me... gone...
[Box: inside]
[Message: Good luck, Suzuki!♥]
Rinne: ...I don't see any message on here...
Sakura: Look - you're covering it up with your finger! // There! // That settles it.
Suzuki: It's true...! I never noticed that...
Sakura: Isn't that great, Rokudou-kun? // All this guy needed... // ...was to get this tracksuit top back!

15
Rinne: Do we really know that?!
Sakura: ...What else could it be? // Don't tell me... // You actually wanted this tracksuit? // Wait, so this black tracksuit... / It isn't like a Shinigami uniform or something...?
Rinne: Oh, come on. That's just stupid.
Sakura: I see... / (He really is just...)
Rinne: But I guess if handing it over is going to sever this ghost's ties to the material world... // Then that's fine by me. // Sensei... you give it to him yourself...
Suzuki: What's wrong, Rokudou?! You're crying tears of blood!
Sakura: (He really doesn't want to...)
Suzuki: Suzuki-kun...

16
Suzuki: I'm sorry I took it by mistake... / Here, this is yours...
Ghost: Yeah... // It's my... // ...tracksuit...

17
Suzuki: Suzuki-kun...?
Sakura: It looks like he passed on... // Huh... / So there are ghosts who will just pass on for free...
Rinne: It wasn't free!
Sakura: Oh... // (So the tracksuit was the payment...)
Suzuki: So Suzuki-kun was never able to pass on, all this time... / That's why I got that phone call...
Sakura: Huh?! // Sensei... what's that about a phone call...?
Suzuki: Well... / The day after Suzuki-kun passed away, I got a call on my mobile phone...
Flashback!Ghost: Get your ass down behind the gym at four! / Don't be late!

18
Sakura: Erm...... / And then...?
Suzuki: Well, of course...! / It creeped me out, so I cancelled my contract right away!
Sakura: Huh... // (And so what had happened, was that the phone number had passed from customer to customer... // ...until finally Rika ended up with it.)
Rika: Ah! My mobile phone! / So you picked it up for me...!
Sakura: Mm, well. // I don't think you'll be getting them any more. / Those phone calls...

19
[Box: And it didn't take long after that...]
Rika: Well, it really does work!
[Box: ...before the whole school had heard about the instrument shelter legend.]
Girl: So the monetary offering can just be one-yen coins?
Rika: Uh-huh, it looks like that was fine!
Sakura: Rika-chan, that's a little... // (Hm? // Where's Rokudou-kun...?)
Students: So this is the legendary instrument shelter... // Hm? There's some kind of sign next to it... // "If you skimp on the monetary offering, you will be cursed - The Shinigami"...?
[Side text: It looks like Rinne may have a few issues of his own... but at any rate, thanks to their excellent teamwork(?), this incident is solved!]
