Somebody: Hey, Satou~~, you rejected Takahashi?
This guy's real depressed, why don't you console him?
Come on, hurry up!
Satou: S... Stop it!
SFX: Jiriririri
Guy: Hey... What the!?
Is... Is there a fire!?
Sumio: ---It's not a fire disaster.

Page 5:
Sumio: It's a man-made disaster.
SFX: GANN

Guy: Geh...
SFX: Don
Guys: Hah... Haiba!?
Wh... Why are you here...?
Sumio: Of course I'm here.
I knew what was going to happen!!
Satou: Th... Thank you...
Sumio: If you're all right, get along to school.
Satou: ......?
Sumio: ---Well, let's put that aside.

Page 7:
Sumio: Will you marry me?
Satou: ---Huh?
Sumio: This must be a fated meeting.
We must have been separated by death in the last life, and now we've finally met again.
Let's be a couple like Adam and Eve!
Somebody: Hey now, what's going on, Kurumiya!?
Kurumiya: Sorry... Haiba-kun accidentally hit the emergency alarm...
Somebody: What? Him again...?
Kurumiya: ---Sumio.
Could you try to somehow smooth things over with...
Sumio: Shigeru...
SFX: Ta...
Shigeru: ---Geez, with girls, any one is fine with you, isn't it?

Page 8:
Sumio: Don't interrupt my proposition!
Shigeru: As a member of the public morals committee I can't allow such disturbing behavior!
Sumio: You're as hard-assed as usual...
Why're you so mad? You're the only one I'm not bothering, and you're my childhood friend, right Shigeru?
Shigeru: Everyone's being bothered, so of course I am!
Sumio: ---Well, just as you wanted, that girl is fine.
Shigeru: ...That's true.
But this...
When I was told something like this was actually happening...!
Book: September 17th
Evening
At the gymnasium storehouse
a girl was teased
by some boys.
The girl cried
and wouldn't leave her house
anymore. [Top of the last line is cut off by her thumb.]
TL Note: It's noteworthy that everything written in the notebook is in hiragana. The all-phonetic way of writing in Japanese without use of kanji.

Page 9:
Sumio: ----Yes, this.
This is my secret ---"Dream Diary".
Once in a while I'm overcome by a strange sleepiness.
At those times, I fall asleep and an inexplicable habit starts.
Even though I'm unconscious, my left hand suddenly holds a pen----
and opens my notebook----
And for today's date,
an event that still hasn't occurred is composed.
In other words, an event in the future is written in the diary.

Page 10:
"Premonition Dream", "Automatic Writing",
they seem like things out of Sci-fi or the occult, but----
why something like this is happened, even I don't know.
Shigeru: ---I've seen it plenty of times, too, but
it's too much to be coincidence.
Sumio: Coincidence? What an unromantic answer.
But they're happening in reality.
Day after day, if I look at the diary, I know.
The many unpleasant things here and there around me that are set to occur.
Like tormenting and stealing things.
The screams of everyone's minds and bodies reach me before the fact----
"Mayday"!! SOS's coming from all over!

Page 11:
Sumio: This diary is "destiny" itself...
Always giving that "because it's been decided" expression.
意地でも変えたい
Even if I'm told that, I want to change it at any cost.
Shigeru: ---Well certainly,
if something really bad were to happen, as a morals committee member, I can't overlook it.
Sumio: I know, right?
I want to make this thing into a lying bastard.
予知をはずして恥をかかせてやる
I'll undo its predictions and humiliate it.
These kinds of things... can be easily changed.
For example, if the fate of the diary predicted I would meet my fated person.
Whether to make a play or not is my prerogative.
There's no reason for me to marry the person this thing says I have to!
I mean, what happens if my destined person is a boy...
I won't recognize such a destiny, I'll change it no matter what!

Page 12:
「運命」なんて行動しなかった結末にすぎん
Sumio: Some "destiny" I didn't do myself will not come to pass!
I'll decide my own future!
So when the girl I think is the person I'm fated to be with passes before my eyes
I'll always continue to approach like we'll be wed!
SFX: BISHIH
Shigeru: ...Hey, Sumio,
My hair sure has gotten long from since I was little, right?
And since a long time ago, you've always liked the more girlish type, so... So I...
Sumio: Marry me!
Shigeru: SUMIOOOOOH!
SFX: Kaaah

Page 13:
Someone: ---Ah, welcome back, Shigeru.
Sumi-kun, tell your mom that her tea was delicious.
Sumio: Hey, m'am.
Sumio: ----Geez. What's with her? Since when did she become such a stickler for rules?
And she used to have that charm of an innocent child and all...
Nobody'll have her like that.
---Oh.
Right, right, I knew it, something like this...
Guy: You're just running away from home, ya know?
Girl: But, but~~ it'll be like I'd just be gone the second my friends take their eyes off me~~
I'm sure they'll think something happened, that I disappeared~~
But even your parents will think you ran away, right?
Sumio: ---That's my school's uniform.
Did something happen...?

Page 14:
Sumio: Eh...
.........What was that?
Just now...

Page 15:
[No text. Just characters that'll be important later, probably.]

Page 16:
Sumio: I'm ho~~me.
Mom: Get the hell out, you stalker!
Sumio: UWAAH
Stalker: HIIIIH
Mom: Don't underestimate the #1 cabaret girl, morooon!
And a customer shouldn't ever follow me home!!
Sumio: --Old lady.
Mom: Ah, Sumi, welcome back.
Sumio: ---So like I thought, that customer showed up?
Yeah, he tried to force his way in.

Page 17:
Mom: Like I thought, just according to your diary, Sumio!
Diary: September 17th

Evening, a man
will come to the house
and take a woman's clothing.
Mom: Even at the shop, he was strangely always annoying.
Sumio: If he knew the real you, you can bet he wouldn't have come.
Mom: Yes...
I'm dedicated to Papa.
My fated meeting was with that man alone[heart]
人並以上に熱愛婚だったらしい
Box: ---My old man and my old lady had an extraordinarily devoted marriage, it seems.
何と出会ったその日にお互いビビっときて結婚してしまったのだ
Believe it or not, on that day they met, they each felt something and ended up married.
There aren't many people like that.
SFX: Nikoniko
Box: Two people who obtained the ultimate future.

Page 18:
Mom: ----Has it already been 3 years? I wonder where he went...
He'll come back someday.
And us three will live together as a nice family.
Sumio: I don't mind, really.
3 years ago my old man suddenly disappeared from the house---
And when my old lady was upset and I was unsettled, too----
仕事までちょっとやる
Mom: Well, let's do a little before work.
Sumio: Hey.
Box: I began to write my dream diary.
Not knowing what it meant, I got scared and cried, but my old lady scolded me.
Mom: It's a talent, talent!
日記の解明のために脳科学や物理学果てはオカルトまで一緒に勉強した
Box: In order to explain the diary, we studied neuroscience, physics, and on top of that even the

occult together.
Box: My old lady was only a middle school graduate, so why she was able to do did all that
Mom: Love!
根性論
Box: was because she's what you the "gutsy type". Where if you have a strong will, you can accomplish anything.

Page 19:
自分を解く 手掛かり
Box: ---And so I've found lots of clues to help understand my mind.
So now without fear, with this power---- I can face the diary.
And all of that--- is because of the efforts of my old lady.
Sumio: Aa~~h, oh yeah.
It had the jawbone reversed, didn't it?
Mom: Hm?
Sumio: It's nothing, I just saw a weird image today.
Mom: ...ənígmə...

Page 20:
Sumio: ...ənígmə?
SFX: Katakata
SFX: Bah
Sumio: Ah...
Hey, hey, what're you doing?
SFX: Gushagusha
Mom: It... It can't be...!
How could Sumio...
be chosen...!!?
Sumio: .......?
Chosen?
Mom: ...Sumio, I can't say much right now, but
inside you... there's a monster...

Page 21:
Mom: You, more than anyone, I know you can get to your future.
So no matter what happens... find the answer.
SFX: Gata...
Sorry... It's time for me to go to work.
I'll be back in the morning.
SFX: Kii...
Sumio: .............Hey, hey...
Wait a second... Give me a proper explanation----
SFX: GUNYAA

Page 22:
Box: Ah
At a time like this... I'm getting drowsy...
SFX: Bann
SFX: Doh

SFX: Koton...

Page 24:
Sumio: Huaa... Again...?
Let's see... What kind of thing's it gonna be this----
Eh...
Diary: September 17th
A long haired woman
I know
when on an elevator
will turn pitch black
and disappear.
The culprit is
ənígmə. [ənígmə written in big letters]

Page 25:
Sumio: September 17th----
It's today's date...
[The diary page is the same as on the last page]
Sumio: "A long-haired woman I know, when on an elevator..."
will disappear...?
What is this... She didn't fall...?
Diary: ənígmə.
Sumio: "The culprit is ənígmə"---
This mark... could it be...
The thing I saw on the TV...!

Page 26:
Sumio: ---Can I do something about this...?
Maybe this time I failed...
There're only 2 hours left before the date changes.
What do I do...!?
---No, I have 2 hours!
何事もないよう
I'll stop it; I won't let anything happen!!
Fuu.
---Oh yeah. I should figure out who specifically it is who's going to be harmed.
Like in this picture, long hair...
A girl I could at least call an acquaintance, that would be----
SFX: BANN

Page 27:
Sumio: Heeey,
It's Haiba, are you awake!?
Lady: Ah, Sumi-kun.
What brings you here so late?
Shigeru: Eh... Sumio!? Ha-Hang on one second...
Sumio: Shigeru, you didn't get hurt on the elevator, did you!?
Shigeru: Eh...?
---We haven't been able to use it for a few days while it's inspected.
Why...? Did something happen?
Sign: Inactive
Box: -----------Was the girl in that picture not Shigeru?
Then who...? Some other girl with long hair----

Page 28:
Sumio: ---The wig on the dresser...
That's a a long-haired wig the old lady uses for work...
Could it be...
Guy: Good morning, Mina-san.
SFX: Poohn...
SFX: Suh
SFX: Bann
Sumio: O...
Old lady!!

Page 29:
SFX: BANN
Sumio: Hey, old lady, open up!
Get out of the elevator!!
Guy: H-ey, kid, what're you doing!?
Sumio: Shut up!!
My old lady's telling me
"mayday"!!

Page 30:
SFX: GAKONN
Sumio: Old lady, are you all...
SFX: Tah
Sumio: ...Eh?

Page 31:
Sumio: ...Old lady?
SFX: Pasah
Sumio: ...Wha
What is this...?
...a stain...?
Guy: UWAAAH!!
P... Police... Police...!!
Call the poliiiice!!

Page 32:
Sign: Yuuyami Hospital
SFX: Chun chun
Box: ---A few hours later, I was told my old lady had gone missing.
Not believing the testimony "she disappeared before our eyes and turned into a stain" that the man in

black and I gave, they disposed of the traces on the wall like it was a prank----
Nurse: ---This way. Please be careful. He was acting violently until a little while ago...
Shigeru: Please... Papa is going to contact Haiba-san's relatives.
Nurse: ...Okay.
Shigeru: ....Su
Sumio... We brought a change of clothes...

Page 33:
Sumio: ----I knew what was going to happen.
If I'd just been more mindful,
something like this would never have happened.
Shigeru: .......M
Sumio: ..........Shigeru,
do you think she ran away, too...?
Shigeru: ------No.
I mean----
Your mom was waiting for you dad, wasn't she?
一途な姿が好きでっ
I... Like that form of wholeheartedness... So---

Page 34:
Box: ----Yes. The old lady didn't just run away.
--In other words, she was abducted by somebody or for some reason she had to disappear.
...Either way, I can't say for sure that she's safe.
Where on earth did she go...?
Mom: ənígmə...
Sumio: Back then, the old lady had suddenly gotten strange----
What the diary said,
does the old lady's disappearance have something to do with that "ənígmə"...?
Sumio: ənígmə...
I don't know what ənígmə is, but if it's the what did this
I've got to do something!!

Page 35:
Sumio: The old lady was always waiting for my old man.
Without saying anything, she just silently believed in a man who had disappeared---
And now she's waiting for me to come save her...!
She can't be kept waiting anymore!
I'll go and bring the old lady back!!
SFX: DONN
Sumio: Wait for me!
No matter what, I'll come get you!!

Page 36:
Shigeru: Sumio...
Nurse: ---Haiba-san, are you all right?
It seems we weren't able to get in contact with your relatives, so it's all right for you to rest in

the hospital tonight...
SFX: Gachah
Sumio: I'll be glad to! This meeting tonight must be fate!
SFX: DONN
Lady: Hey, Shigeru, we're going home now, too.
SFX: Patan...
Sumio: ----It started this day. My destiny started to turn.
Without knowing it, I bid farewell to normal days---

Page 37:
Narration: September 18th, 11PM-----
Sumio: Hm...
.......... Where am I?

Page 38:
Sumio: ....The gym at school?
This is odd... I was sure I was at the hospital...
Hey, hey!! Again?
SFX: Bah
Sumio: ----The school?
Diary: Night. Everyone
was at the school.
It was dark, but
it got brighter.
My wish looks like it
will come true. Yay!

Page 39:
Sumio: Is there something here...!?
And this mark...
Shigeru!?
Hey, Shigeru, what happened!?
Shigeru: ...Hm?
Huh... Sumio...?
People: Hm...?
..........What's is this?

Page 40:
People: What's going on!?
Guy: ...Where are we?
Why're we in a place like this...?
Guy 2: I'm sure I was had stayed up late and was on a futon...
Girl: ---I was asleep, too. On a king-size simmons bed.
Mascot: Hee~~h
Guy 2: Wah!
...What are you?
Mascot: I have a show as a part-time job as the police mascot Pit-kun, and I was on break...
Sumio: ...What about you, Shigeru?
Shigeru: Um... I went to bed as soon as I got back from the hospital...
Sumio: ----Everyone's last memories are of going to sleep, huh?
It seems no one is here of there own will.

Page 41:
Sumio: ---Right now it's past 11 PM on September 18th.
Since I was in the hospital, 14 hours have passed... In that interval I was brought here?
---How? Transporting 7 people isn't as easy as it sounds...
Guy 1: ---Anyhow, let's just head back home. There's no reason to stay in a place like this.
Sumio: Hm... I agree.
SFX: Gatah...
Girl: -------What's wrong?
Hoodie: Hey... Quit playing around.
Sumio: Is it not opening?
SFX: ZAWA...

Page 42:
鍵がかかっている感触はない
Guy 1: ...It didn't feel like it was locked with a key though.
Sumio: Well, then try the window.
...Kuh.
It's no good. It won't open... It's like it's fixed shut...
SFX: GANN
Hoodie: ...What the hell is this?
I kicked so hard a window pane like this should be totally broken apart...
Phone: Out of Range
Girl: ...Why can't I connect!?
Geez, this cheap thing...
