Sumio: ------Hurry!!
Someone's going to 1-A,
SFX: DAH DAH DAH
Sumio: and before they erase the 5th password note...!!
SFX: GARAH
Sumio: ...It's not here.
There's no... note here...!?

Middle Insert: Has the Dream Diary come true...!? What is this!?
Author: Sakaki Kenji
Summary: The e-test created by әnígmә continues... And suddenly the sound of a phone ringing echoed through the school! On the other side of that call was Sumio's classmate, Suuki Kei!! And then Suuki went to the school...!! Meanwhile, what happened to the 5th password note...!?

Page 2:
Moto: No... No way...!?
Sumio: ...Dammit, there's nothing written on the blackboard...
W... Was it erased...!?
SFX: BANN
Sudou: ---There's nobody hiding in the classroom...
Moto: Did someone erase it!? Like that Suuki guy you said was coming here!?
Sumio: Did... Did we not make it in time...!?
Does this mean it's impossible for us to get the 5th password now!?
......!?
SFX: Purururururuh
Sumio: An incoming call...!?

Page 3:
Suuki: ...Hello,
Haiba Sumio...?
Sumio: Su...
Suuki!!
You... Don't tell me, you...!?
Where are you right now!?
Suuki: Where...?
1-A...

Page 4:
Suuki: I called you as soon as I got to our classroom, 1-A...
......So? Where are you...?
Sumio: 1-A...!?
Wh... What're you talking saying...!?
W... We're in 1-A, too!!
Suuki: Heh...?
...No you're not. You must be in the wrong room...
Sumio: ...No! I'm sure we're in 1-A!
SFX: PETA...
Sumio: ...What's going on? It doesn't seem like Suuki is lying to me...
But I'm also sure we didn't make a mistake... What on earth is this...!?

Page 5:
Suuki: ...What? So this is a prank after all?
You're not here... And you said it was dangerous, but I got in the school normally, through the window...
SFX: PETA... PETA...
Sumio: ...Window!? A window opened!?
Suuki: ...Of course...
Sumio: In the classroom we're in, the windows aren't budging, just like they haven't the whole time...
What's Suuki talking about!? Where is he...!?
SFX: GUGUH...
Narration: ----At that moment, a question Habia Sumio had had in his mind the whole time resurfaced.
Unyielding exits... A pitch-black city... Cell phones they used every day reading out-of-range...
An astounding "answer" that could wipe out all these questions at once---
SFX: GYUH...
Sumio: Suuki... In the 1-A you're in... is there anything written on the blackboard...? [Italics on "you're in".]
Suuki: ......?

Page 6-7:
Sumio: ...It has "Password No.6 Note"
---written there, right...!?
Moto: Eh...!?
Sumio: ...The note isn't erased at all.
It was written at that school from the start!! ["that" in italics.]
Sumio: There are two...! Suuki is at our usual Yuuyami High School
and we're in another---- a Yuuyami High School located somewhere else!!

Page 8:
Moto: A...
A different school...!?
Y... You're kidding, right!?
You're saying this isn't our school!?
Sudou: ...Like hell it isn't! How could it be copied down to this level of detail!?
And what about the city itself!?
Sumio: ...But then how do you explain the note that Suuki found!?
It's in "Classroom 1-A" just like my prediction said!
I don't know where we are exactly, but this is not Yuuyami High School!
Moto: Wha...?
Sudou: ............
Sumio: ...The moment I said those words
I shivered, myself----

Page 9:
Sumio: Despite all the abnormal things that had gone on up until this point, we had felt some sense of security knowing at least that we were in our school.
But to learn it was just a replica... that changed into a fear that we were surrounded by something else----
Suuki: .........?
What's with all this school and note stuff... what're you going on about...?
Sumio: ...Su-Suuki...!
----Right. Anyhow, please read us the note on the blackboard!
Suuki: Heh...? Why---
SFX: ...Koh koh koh

Page 10:
Guy: Hey!
What're you doing at this late hour!?
Suuki: ...Ah, you're...
Sumio: !? What happened...!? Did someone else come!?
Suuki: ...It's one of the school's teachers...
Who is this again...? The 2-H homeroom teacher... Works as the night watch a lot...
Sumio: 2-H...? Isn't that Aru's homeroom teacher...?
Sudou: ......!?
2-H...!?
Teacher: You're one of our students, aren't you...? How did you get in here!?
Suuki: ---Be quiet, don't come near me...
SFX: KOH KOH

Page 11:
Suuki: ...I just came to... get something a friend of mine left here.
Teacher: What...?
......?
And what's this!? Did you come to scribble some prank here!?
Suuki: Ah...?
SFX: BAH BAH
Teacher: Now please, be on your way home!
Suuki: Tsch...
...Okay, okay, I'm going.
Sumio: ...What happened, Suuki!?
Suuki: ...I got chased out by the teacher.
Sumio: Eh.. Then... what about the note...!?
SFX: Peta... peta...
Suuki: Well, the teacher erased it...
Sumio: Wha...!?
The night watch teacher erased the note!?
Suuki: Yeah... I got yelled at for playing pranks...
Sumio: I can't believe it! Is this what the Dream Diary was showing!?
A teacher erased the note without knowing what he was doing...!?

Page 12:
Moto: What do we do...!? We need that note, or...
Sudou: ............
2-H... Kijima...
Kijima Yuuta...!!

Page 13:
Narration: And a few minutes later when he had gotten outside the school, Suuki opened his mouth again---
Suuki: ...That note, I've got it memorized...
Sumio: R... Really...!? Then...
(In Bubble): Hew
Suuki: ...Before that, you're going first...
Whatever you've been hiding... Until you tell me, I'm not giving you this information...!
Sumio: ............
Narration: He hesitated a moment, but it was because of Suuki that they had gotten the note.
With that in mind, he explained the story of what had happened there over the last few days---
SFX: Guri... Guri...
Suuki: ...I see.
...You're in quite an interesting situation, aren't you...!?
SFX: Kusu... kusu... (chuckling)
Sumio: ...Suuki?
Do you believe me...?

Page 14:
Suuki: ...I told you, didn't I? Solving the mysteries of this era...
is my duty...!
What is әnígmә...? What is the e-test...? Where is that school...?
Is it a conspiracy of a huge organization? Or were you spirited away by some sort of extra-planer god...?
Please let me go after this mystery, too...!!
Sumio: Suuki...?
What are you planning to do...?
Suuki: Well, all I can do is gather information, but...
"әnígmә"... I might be able to find some hints on what his true identity is...
...Without knowing where you guys are, there's no point in going to the police...
And also, әnígmә wants to get 7 people to "escape"...

Page 15:
Suuki: ...It'd be dangerous for you guys to venture outside the school, right...?
You've got no idea what's out there... and you're better off looking for the passwords so you can escape...
Sumio: That's true...! This means we've lost the choice of "going outside"...
But in place of that, we now have a connection to the outside!
Suuki...! If you find out anything, let me know!
Once we get out, I'll definitely go thank you!
SFX: Bori... bori...
Suuki: .........You don't need to thank me.
Anyhow, Haiba Sumio...
When this is all over, you've gotta let me do tons of research on that talent of yours... [Italics on "talent"]
Sumio: Wha... No way!!
On Page: Great Martian King's Banquet
SFX: KUSU KUSU... (chuckling)

Page 16:
Suuki: ...All right, then I'll tell you the note as promised...
"Password No. 6, 'Ghost Story of the Former School Building'"
"Move to the accessway on the 3rd floor. It starts at 5 o'clock."
Board: Password No. 6
'Ghost Story of the Former School Building'
Move to the accessway
on the 3rd floor.
It starts at 5 o'clock
Sumio: ...Former school building!?
So that's where the next password is!?
Got it...! We're going to head there now!
Suuki: Yeah... If I find out anything, I'll call you...
SFX: *Click*
Sumio: Okay...! We've got the note for the 5th password!
Now... first how 'bout we should go back to where everyone else is...!?/
SFX: DAH

Page 17:
Sign: Home Economics Room
Somebody: ...I see, so this Suuki person got the note...
And the next password is in the former school building...?
Kurisu: But... We still haven't fixed Aru-kun's body.
Shigeru: Yeah...
Sumio: Yeah...! I'll leave you guys to keep working on him!
And Moto, you can avoid the Shadows, so to be safe, you should stay---
Sudou: ...I'll go to the former school building!
SFX: PONN
Sumio: ...Takemaru-san?
Then I'll go, too! The two of us will---
Sudou: You stay here, dammit! I'm fine on my own!
Sumio: Wha... Again with that...
Hiina: ...You mustn't do that, Sudou-san.

Page 18:
Hiina: It's impossible for you to escape by yourself...!
We have to work together!
Sudou: ....Hmph. You guys do whatever ya want!
Sumio: ...Hiina-san.
SFX: GARAH
Hiina: ...Something's going on with him.
Sumio: ............
Hiina: ---Haiba-san, I'm going to go, too. I feel like if it's just you two, you'll just be fighting.
Sumio: Eh...!? But it could be dangerous!
Hiina: Then I guess you'll...
have to try to stay safe...!

Page 19:
Sumio: ...I've never been to the old school building.
SFX: KOTSUN... KOTSUN...
...I mean the entrance and the accessway are always chained off, but...
............Over there, huh...?
SFX: HAH
Sumio: ----With such a somber appearance,
it feels like a fierce future is going to befall us from here----
Middle Insert: A different stage from what we've had so far...!! What is the "Ghost Story of the Former School Building"...!?
