1: That's strange.
2: He isn't at his friend Ken-chan's house either.
3: Where else could Sou have gone?
4: Izumi, you were with him the entire time, right?
5: That's right. But he disappeared all of a sudden.
6: I was sure that he had just went home.

302)
1: Sou was acting weird today, anyway.
2: Weird...?
3: Yeah...
4: On the way home from school today...
5: Sou and I...and Miyoko-san were walking together.
6: Then we saw a shabby-looking old woman collapsed on the road...
7: Miyoko-san helped the old woman, and I called dad at the hospital.
8: The old lady was gripping Miyoko-san's hand really tightly, so she had to go with her in the ambulance.

303)
1: We went to the hospital after her. Then...
2: Then?
3: Then, I saw Miyoko-san sitting in the lobby, and she told me the old lady died...and...
4: And, just who do you think that old lady turned out to be?
5: She was Oomori Setsuko.
6: Ehh?!
7: Oomori Setsuko? You mean the woman who was called the Eternal Beauty...?
8: That's right. Shocking, isn't it?

304)
1: Not only that, but...
2: That's right! I'm pretty sure I saw her in this week's TV Spirits...
sfx: flip
3: Look!

1: It's her, without a doubt!
2: But...
3: But she had turned into such a shabby old woman, you would have thought it was someone completely different..
4: She had no relatives, so they were unsure about what to do with her body...
5: Oh my...

306)
1: That's when it happened. When Sou started getting weird...
2: He started to be able to see spirits.
3: Ehh?!
4: Spirits...?!
5: Wh-what do you mean?!
6: I-I'm not really sure...it was just Sou spouting off, after all.

307)
1: They seemed to be like the kind of spirits that ride on your back.
2: Mine looked like a princess, and dad's was three doctors.
3: Oh my!
4: H-how grotesque...
sfx: hyuuuuu
5: Haven't you ever heard of possessive or guardian spirits, mom? They supposedly ride on human's backs and protect them or help them work and stuff.

308)
1: I think that's what he was talking about...no one's ever seen one, but I guess they really do exist...
2: Then at the station, Sou said a man on the platform was going to die...
3: That man suddenly fell from the platform...and died in a really gross way!
4: My!
5: Then, we started to get worried about Miyoko-san...
6: So we went to her house together.
7: But right after we opened the window to her house and looked inside...
8: Stupid Sou ran away all of a sudden!! He was screaming really loudly...

309)
sfx(2): ding dong
1: Gyaaaaaah!!
2: Excuse me.
3: Y...yes?
4: Ahh, that really scared me.
5: Wh-who is it?
sfx: gih

310)
1: Ahh, Sou!!
2: We found your boy in Harajuku, ma'am.
3: Mom!
4: There's a spirit behind you, mom!!
