My name is Yamada Naoko.
My mother is a Shodo calligrapher.
I'm a super skilled famous and popular magician.
Long time no see. What?
This is Ueda from Japan University Of Science & Technology
Professor Ueda published a strange book "Come over!"
He fooled me and made me go to Six Tombs Village,
where there's a mystery that someone dies every year on January 11th.
Superstituous chicken Ueda and the villagers
say it's the defeated warriors who were killed by villagers in the Warring States Era
that have come back to revenge, singing a strange song.
Are they seriously okay?
It was midnight.
Kurisu Teiko, a detective novelist, had come to solve the mystery.
Her cell phone played the melody of that same song.
Ueda, who likes to think he's a hero, and I kept guard outside Kurisu-san's room.
She's dead.
Say something! Professor Ueda.
Not because of dead spirits.
Right! It can't be because of the curse.
But how?
I've called the police.
They said they'll come as soon as they can.
That's not soon enough!
Don't worry, now.
Though what I'm going to say is mean to Kurisu-sensei,
nothing else bad will happen this year.
Whose is it now?
Hello?
Who was it?
Impossible.
This should have been it for this year.
Not yet.
One is going to die now.
This is all your fault.
Want to find out the reason? You made the defeated warriors angry!
Here's what we'll do.
There's two more hours til morning.
Let's all stay here in one place to watch over Fujino-san.
If the defeated warriors appear,
we could take them on together.
That's right. Just what I'd expect from a wonderful professor!
It's no use.
They'll definitely come.
There's no way to prevent it.
No way.
One more hour left.
It feels like it's the night before the school festival or something.
What are you talking about?
Let's burn the body. That way it won't stink.
It's not good to do that. Let's wait for the police.
But it's too quiet... It's kind of boring.
Want me to set up the karaoke?
Good idea.
What songs should we sing with a dead body there?
"There's Always Tomorrow"
"Quiet Blue Note"
"I Even Love Your Bones"
"A Mourning Gift"
Here's a mourning gift for you...
"Rest In Peace, My Friend."
There's a song like that?
"Hatto shitai GOOD"
Should I sing some kind of gospel?
Stop it.
Or... Let's play shiritori.
I start first.
Odabutsu. (Dying.)
That's not very respectful! What was it now, odabutsu?
Tsu... tsu...
Tsui no wakare! (A sudden farewell, or sudden death)
Rekuiemu! (Requiem)
Muri shinju! (Forced double suicide)
Yuutairidatsu! (Out of body experience)
da... tsu... da... tsu...
Dassen torio! (Criminal trio)
You can't play that!
Why not? Why not?
Rules are rules!
Fujino-san?
What's wrong?
Are you ok?
Huh?
Water...
Quick.
Drink some water!
Fujino-san...
What happened?
Impossible.
This is the second one.
Don't you know how to park a car?
You've come a long way from Tokyo. Thank you.
The deceased are the detective novel writer, Kurisu Teiko,
and her assistant, Fujino Keiko.
The doctor in this village is investigating their death now.
Let's go.
Are you jumping down?
Can't believe two died.
Well, well, well, Sensei!
It's you.
Long time no see. Thank you for the other day.
I'm his assistant. My name is Ishihara.
Nice to meet you...
I didn't expect to meet you again under this condition.
But since I'm here, the case will definitely be solved soon!
Just leave it to me.
This is perfect.
We did want to come here right away.
But we just had too many cases to deal with.
I understand.
So I would like to start investigating now.
Where is the crime scene? Over there. (These villagers have a dialect which adds "zura" to the end of each sentence, which sounds like "wig" (katsura))
What did you just say?
Over there.
What do you want? Brother...
I'll kill you!
Who is that guy?
Kurisu Teiko. She died of a heart attack.
Heart attack?
Yes. No injury.
Then we didn't have to come after all!
However, the other one, Fujino Keiko.
She died of poisoning.
That is obviously a homocide.
What?
This is interesting.
I don't think it's interesting.
What did you just say? Thank you very much.
I made an elephant! Elephant.
See? Scary elephant.
Golden cherry elephant. The elephant I made.
What do you think?
This is so great.
Where is she from?
Gone.
Kurisu's body laid here.
Everybody got together here to watch over Fujino.
Then she seemed to see something scary.
Right.
And she pointed in that direction.
The lobster?
No. A little big right...
Mountain?
No...
This one?
NO...
I see.
The Biker Cats?
NO...
Chada?
How could Chada know?
Who is Chada?
Asamata Daron's wife.
That's Chala!
Then she grabbed her chest,
and fell on the floor.
Professor Ueda.
Do you have any idea?
Is it the curse of defeated warriors,
or could it be Chada?
I thought of many possibilities.
Could it be a blowgun?
Blowgun?
Someone blew out the poison dart.
Actually, I thought about that, too.
That's impossible.
I checked the body.
If it was a dart, there would be a visible entrance would.
Ueda.
Ok. Anyhow, everyone please leave now.
Don't touch anything in here.
We'll check this room to see if there's any evidence in here.
Specifically...
Chada!
Out.
Out. Out.
What's wrong?
Nothing, I just feel something was different from last night.
What?
What is it?
Stop murmuring. Get out.
Must be. Must be the curse.
How could a person die of heart attack on that day?
It can't be a coincidence.
Do you remember when we found Kurisu-san?
Kurisu-san crawled out from the quilt.
Like this.
Did she see something?
Because of what she saw,
she wanted to escape.
What do you think she'd seen?
The defeated warriors? Or Chada?
Or a dragon?
We watched the room carefully,
no one should have been able to enter.
Horse. Edo breed.
I'm extremely sorry to make you wait.
Your honorable breakfast will be ready very soon.
However, the dining room cannot be honorably used at this time,
So please proceed to the hall.
Here is your honorable breakfast ticket.
I'll take it for Kameoka-sensei.
Very well. Here is another honorable breakfast ticket.
Chada. Widow Jonathan.
Is he somehow connected to the Biker Cats?
It's really a mystery.
Honorable Detective.
Would you desire to partake of your honorable breakfast?
I urge you to use this if you so wish.
Okay. We'll be there later.
Thank you very much.
Brother. He's talking so polite, it's almost suspicious!
Chada...
Yes. The dining place has been humbly changed...
And about the honorable meal tickets...
Detective Yabe-sama investigated the incident that occured five years ago as well.
Was the incident five years ago
When a man called Kawashima fell from that cliff over there?
Yes, now that I humbly think about it,
That was the day the defeated warriors' honorable anger began to take its honorable revenge.
Five honorable years ago, some people
put out a plan to develop this humble village into a tourist attraction.
That was the honorable Assemblyman Kameoka, his secretary Tsuruyama-sama,
and another secretary, Kawashima-sama.
They were planning to build an amusement park here.
An amusement park?
Yet there was one humble problem. The six honorable tombs. (mutsu no haka= six tombs, but he's using an honorific, o-mutsu no haka.)
If they were to build the park,
they would have to move the honorable tombs away.
The humble villagers said,
if they did that, who knows what terrible disaster would befall the village?
So they protested.
But Kameoka-sama persuaded them,
and the plan was about to come true.
However, at that key point, Kawashima-sama fell from the cliff
and passed away in that accident.
That day was January 11th.
And his honorable body was not found.
So finally people thought this must have been a curse,
and in the end, the plan was terminated.
Diaper tomb? (diaper = omutsu; he was saying "o-mutsu no haka")
Excuse me. I have to prepare your breakfast.
Are there bugs in this?
(Shut your mouth. It you tell the secret, you'll be the next victim!)
(From the defeated warriors.)
Help.
Help...
What's going on here?
We came here for breakfast!
Anyone seen the manager?
What's wrong with him?
I can't find him anywhere. (doko ni mo ineezura!)
Hirazou-san.
Excuse me.
Hirazou.
Come out.
He's fine. It's not life-threatening.
His head was hit and he lost consciousness.
Who did it?
(Shut your mouth. If you tell the secret, you'll be the next victim!)
(From the defeated warriors.)
The criminal made a big mistake!
The defeated warriors didn't do it.
Everybody, please look!
This exclamation mark.
The exclamation mark didn't even exist during the Warring States Era!
That is to say, this is written by someone who lives in THIS era!
That's my brother.
Right? Right?
Anybody could have told you that!
No one can leave this inn now.
The criminal...
is one of us!
And whoever wrote this...
will soon be found out.
After Hirazou-san awakens,
all we need to do is ask him the secret.
And at that time, we'll know who attacked Hirazou-san.
To tell the truth, you make me feel more and more disappointed.
Two people died,
and Hirazou-san was attacked.
And you dare to publish a book "Come on Over, Spiritual Phenomena."
You are really a fraud of a professor!
Excuse me...
What?
You will lose your next election.
What are you talking about?
I know everything about you.
You have no ability to work in Congress.
What proof have you got?
I'll show you the proof.
Please take a card.
Please remember it and don't let me see it.
After you've memorized it, put that card in front of your chest.
Now remember carefully its suit and number.
Imagine it in your head.
I see it.
What you saw in your head.
What?
Please put it back.
That tall guy.
Please shuffle the card as many times as you like.
So I have no way to guess where the card is.
Are you done?
The card you chose...
is this one.
How did you know?
Who the hell are you?
You...
are doomed to lose the election.
Where are you going?
Toilet.
Looks like he took that pretty bad.
Feel better?
The trick was really.
See.
Right?
Using tricks for revenge. You are so simple.
Hey! I was doing that to protect your pride.
I'll return these.
The cards you bet with me last night in the hallway.
How could you take it without my permission?
Of course I had to check if you did tricks.
How could I play tricks on you?
"I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was insolent. I feel remorse for what I've done. HAHAHAHAHA"
Professor. Sorry to bother you.
This is Fujino-san's bag.
I checked it,
and found this.
Uh. That's the autographed copy of my book Fujino-san requested I give her.
You forced her to take it!
"Come on Over, Spiritual Phenomena."
Could it be this book that asked for the spiritual phenomena?
Of course not.
You're right. No more questions.
Thank you all for your effort.
Sensei!
Breakfast is not ready yet?
This is really a useless book.
Ueda-san. Look!
Aren't these the lyrics of that song?
The door of death opens.
Sleep now, sleep now.
Maybe it's for her next novel.
She really seemed sort of strange.
However, the more I found out, the more I felt strange about it.
I feel this place somehow had really been cursed.
Hey! What?
Well? This...
Why did Fujino-san bring this?
It's nothing strange to listen to music while traveling.
There's not even one tape in any of her bags.
If so, what's the point in bringing a tape recorder?
What are you thinking now?
According to the legend,
the handball song was passed down by a defeated warrior.
A defeated warrior?
They lost the battle and fled to here.
At the beginning, the villagers all pretended to be nice
to hide them here.
The handball song
was taught to a little girl by one of the warriors.
Six sparrows landed here.
One sparrow said this:
Later, they were betrayed by villagers,
and were killed.
Only the handball song was kept till now.
I don't think there'd be a special meaning in this.
Don't you think this is strange?
When Death visits us,
our lives will end.
Doesn't that mean the same thing?
When Death visits you. Of course your life will end.
It's like feeling heavy and heavy thoughts.
Toward north and northbound. Moving ahead and forward.
Morning meal and breakfast.
One road is only one.
Enough.
Wait..."our lives will end."
Maybe it doesn't mean the end, but means it's hidden?
Oshimai ni natta. (our lives will end.)
O-shimai ni natta. (was hidden)
Right! Honorific.
So the "lives" here means...
Treasure.
Huh?
Means the treasure of defeated warriors.
They hid their treasure somewhere.
The defeated warriors used their hidden place to make this song.
That is to say this song indicates the hidden place of their treasure.
Like a cryptogram.
So Kurisu-san and Fujino-san were actually here to find the treasure.
Give it to me.
The door of death opens.
Door of death... Where is the door of death?
Everybody, please meet in the dining room.
Hirazou-san has come to.
Yamanashi Officer, Ushiyama.
Please close the door.
Ok. (ii-zura) (Sounds like "good wig.")
Now... no one can run away from this room.
Hirazou-san. Would you like to tell us?
What is it the secret you know?
Who attacked you?
I...
Hirazou-san. Be brave.
Don't be afraid of revenge.
Kameoka-sensei.
If you yell like that, you'll make him even more scared!
Sorry about that.
This...
I have no idea.
Actually, I want to ask
what is the secret that I know?
If someone in here wanted to warn me,
please tell me directly. I'll be very grateful for it.
Sensei. I'm really sorry.
I just need a little bit more time. I'll definitely catch the criminal.
No... don't worry about me.
I'm planning to stay here for a while.
If I can be of any help. Just tell me.
Thank you very much.
Sensei, you haven't changed a bit after 5 years.
The cologne you use is still in style.
Cologne? I don't use any.
There you go again.
Detectives are something!
Recently my hair has thinned.
But you seem to have more than you did five years ago...
My hair just keeps growing and growing.
Oh, right! I heard that Sasaki in the public security department
is your boss, right?
Huh? You know my boss?
Of course I do!
We were colleagues before.
I'll put in a good word for you!
You're so kind. I really appreciate it.
If Sensei gets in any trouble,
just give me, Yabe, a message.
No matter if it's speeding or a parking ticket,
I can help you deal with it.
Right! Last time brother helped someone else, too.
Hey... I don't like that dirty stuff.
Joking. Just joking.
Oh. Does Sensei come here every year at this time?
Yes. The accident of Kawashima 5 years ago
still bothers me.
And everybody says it's the curse of the defeated warriors.
If I didn't plan to build a amusement park here...
Don't say that.
It's not your fault.
This, I am certain about.
You are the only one I'll tell.
That's god's punishment.
God's punishment?
Uh. I heard that guy Kawashima, without your knowing,
secretly
accepted bribes from local dealers.
Bribes? Impossible.
Kawashima was not that kind of person.
It's the truth.
The plan was going well
and almost set.
Yet Kawashima-san suddenly died like that.
I feel sorry about it, too.
These are things
in the room with us when Fujino-san died?
Yes. The police told me I could clean them up now.
1, 2, 3... 7
How many people were in that room?
Hirazou-san. Can't you think of anything?
Are you worrying about something so you don't want to tell?
No. I have nothing to worry about.
My life is not important.
My life has no value.
No value?
What are you talking about, Hezou-san?
It's Hirazou.
Hirazou-san.
You are hiding something, aren't you?
Don't think I was always like what I'm now.
When I was young, I'm a very arrogant and selfish person.
At that time, my family
was like Tajima family. A big family.
You know it? A big family.
Very wealthy.
Yeah. The mountains over there were ours.
Yet the during the generation of my father,
They knew nothing and did business without thinking.
All of a sudden, we had no properties left.
At the end,
The boss, Tajima Youkuchi, hired me.
He was a distant relative of my boss now.
You can work here.
But you have to get along well with other employees.
No matter if it's cleaning the room or bathrooms,
Make meals or something else. You all have to do it.
Do you understand clearly?
Yes.
Besides, our inn requires the best service.
If you act like before, I'll feel troubled.
I understand.
At the beginning, every day was like hell.
However, guests satisfaction encouraged me.
Gradually, I started to enjoy the happiness they brought me.
And self-examined my arrogant attitude.
Finally, I realized out I was a bad,
selfish boy in years past.
Youkuchi had a beautiful daughter named Misako.
We fell in love with each other.
But don't misunderstand!
We didn't have sexual relationship.
Absolutely not.
Misako didn't have strong body.
Besides, our status was so different.
One day, someone came to propose to her.
He was a wealthy man in neighborhood.
Later, Misako left me a letter.
On it she wrote that she wanted me to elope with her.
And she'd be waiting for me next to the tablet of our village's entrance.
Then, did you go?
Why?
Our classes were so much different.
That's not so important.
But how could I bring her happiness?
I didn't even have the courage to see her.
Misako finally left a parting letter to her father.
Youkuchi was furious.
He asked villagers to looking for Misako.
Misako...
Tamie... Come back. I won't be angry.
Come back.
Tamie? Tamie...
However, Misako just disappeared.
Not even at the place she asked me to.
Misako...
Tamie.
Youkuchi thought she must have been spirited away by someone.
Yet he'd never thought it was me.
Misako.
Hirazou-san. You know, right?
Misako...
Who is that man my daughter loves?
No. I totally have no idea.
Misako...
I still kept working in this inn till now.
I'm such a reptile.
Did Misako-san try to get in touch with you?
Yet no matter where she is now,
she is definitely happier than she would be with me.
That is for sure.
You seem interested in this room?
Kurisu-san must have seen something in here.
Must be the defeated warriors.
They attacked her.
But no one should have been able to enter or leave this room at night.
This room has an odd legend.
Look at that picture.
There are six defeated warriors on it.
The legend is at night, one of them will come out
and walk around.
That's impossible.
Then you can have a try.
Stay in this room tonight.
People who don't believe in this, like you.
The defeated warriors will come out from the picture
to attack you.
One warrior. Two warriors.
Three warriors. Four warriors.
Five.
Six.
The legend is at night, one of them will come out
and walk around.
That is ridiculous.
Who?
Who is there?
Who?
Ueda.
Are you sleeping?
What?
Defeated warrior in the stockhouse?
Uh. I saw him.
Where is Professor Ueda?
I asked Hirazou to wake him up.
He seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Sorry to make you wait.
It's ok now.
Professor, a defeated warrior is inside.
Please wait.
Did you really see it?
Could you have just imagined it while sleeping?
That's not my imagination.
From the day I was born, I've never imagined something like this.
You can believe her.
I saw a strange shadow outside of my window, too.
Professor. Then, why didn't you chase it?
Ueda. Did you faint?
Anyhow, let's get inside and take a look.
Hirazou. Key.
Yes.
See? Nobody's inside.
Please look at there.
The same this year.
The same blood tears from the defeated warrior.
Every year, on January 11th.
The defeated warrior in this picture would shed blood tears.
Wait a moment. This must be someone's trick.
That is not a trick.
Only I have the key to this stockroom.
Nobody can come in without me.
6 people indeed.
Did you imagine it?
No. I swear there were only 5 last night.
The mystery is "opened."
Cue the trick!
One defeated warrior disappeared. This is a trick painting.
Interesting. Just like those paintings in Chinatown.
Cue the trick!
But last night, it seemed someone was inside the room.
And it strangled my neck from behind.
Yes. Exactly like last time.
Left.
Right.
Ueda. Come with me.
Left.
Don't go in with a guilty conscience.
Back spirit will be with you.
Back spirit?
Are you sure it's here?
Yes.
Nothing is here.
Osawa Takeo.
Osawa-san is the person who died here four years ago.
He might have dropped it when struggling here.
This is...
When Death visits us,
our lives will end.
The door of death opens.
The handball song again.
Don't you have difficulty breathing?
Now that you mention it.
Give it to me.
It's gas.
That's why. I know the truth of the back spirit.
Under the ground in the mountains is where the poison gas stored.
If you breathe in gas, you'll feel your body become heavier and heavier.
That's why you got the illusion of a child on the back.
And that's why this kind of legend spread in the mountains.
I see.
Besides, you took that hint on that paper.
Was I?
Go in... the back spirit will be with you.
You... did something bad.
I'll die.
Stop.
So you mean that room was...
Uh. Someone pumped gas in.
This is so...
Ueda-san.
Look at this.
Someone tore out a few pages.
What was missing are
i ka ko shi
chi zu fu ra wa
i ka ko shi chi zu fu ra wa?
What dialect is that?
We can be sure that the defeated warrior is played by someone in
this inn. This person attacked Hirazou-san. And was here last night.
But if it was done by someone. It's hard to explain why
the shadow on the paper window became bigger and bigger.
Yet it disappeared at the moment I opened the window.
Are you an idiot?
What?
The shadow becoming bigger doesn't mean the person is closer.
But the person is far-off.
Let's suppose it was the light.
And here was the paper window.
When the warrior stepped away, his shadow became bigger.
This is common sense in physics.
I see.
When you opened the window, that person just turned off the light.
And ran away.
No wonder.
Then he passed by Professor Ueda's room,
and tall and strong, but chicken-hearted
Ueda fainted.
And got away to the direction of the stockroom.
Then he just hid in some place.
After everybody gathered in front of the stockroom,
he then showed up naturally.
Uh? I know what happened.
This glass vase is like a prism.
The sunlight goes through it and
strikes on the eye of that warrior's picture.
Every year, on January 11th.
The sunbeam will come in from this angle.
And the red clay behind this painting will melt
and flow from the eye.
That's why he sheds blood tears.
What? Just a practical joke of nature.
God damn it.
Where is this place? Looks like a cave.
Must be a hint for the treasure.
Defeated in war, fled to here.
Please let us stay in this village.
At the time Death visits us.
our lives will end.
The door of death opens.
The door of death...
End. (Can mean door of death, too)
Right. This is the door of death?
How could it so easy to find?
Strange. Any tricks here?
Turn right 420 degrees. Turn left 360 degrees.
No. No sign.
Is it locked?
Ueda-san. If all you do is study,
sometimes you'll miss the obvious.
Ueda.
What? It's empty.
Why are you two here?
We happened to find the entrance.
You two are so good. Can enter here.
This stockroom is an attic. It's not been used for a long time.
That's weird.
Why?
You see. The dust here is so thick.
This armor, however, has no dust on it.
That is to say someone had used it recently.
True. The criminal must be wearing this
to scare Hirazou-san and Fujino-san.
I see.
Indeed. This is the defeated warrior I saw this morning.
Well?
Is this a real gun?
Please be careful.
That rifle is a real one which was used in the Warring States Era.
Brought by defeated warriors. Powerful and has perfect aim.
It still has honorable live ammunition inside. (go-jitsudan)
What kind?
Go-jitsudan...
Go... jitsudan-zura!
What happened?
I seemed to hear a gun shot.
Sorry, I was just holding it and it just went off by itself...
Damn you.
Please.
That guy...
What are you doing?
I told her several times. Inside are explosive bullets.
I didn't understand what he said.
You...
Since you always use dirty language, you don't undestand!
Now it's a crisis and you don't understand standard Japanese.
Right? Hezou-san.
My name is Hirazou.
Hear me?
I'll keep this.
Get down.
Sorry. I should say it more clear.
Not your fault. It's her.
She always make this kind of mistake.
The door of death... (owarashi no to)
The door of death... is it also a honorific?
The door of death... door of Warashi. (o-warashi no to... warashi no to)
Door of Warashi?
I've stayed in this inn for years.
Never heard of a door named that.
Door of warashi...
Back spirit. (senaka warashi)
Warashiga Pool. (warashiga fuchi)
Ueda-san. I remember near the cliff is a place called "Warashiga Pool."
Uh.
Is that in there?
What is "that" you say?
("za-i-ho-u", "treasure")
Ta-i-ho-u? (Gun)
No...
("za-i-ho-u", "treasure")
Sa-i-ho-u? (Sewing)
("za-i-ho-u", "treasure")
Da-i-ko-n ?
Idiot!
The snow is completely gone, huh?
It all melted away.
Is this Warashiga Pool?
I heard there're back spirits around here from just a kid.
I'm didn't dare come close.
The elevation here is higher
so it's easy to store gas.
I'm not surprised here has back spirits' legend.
That...
the same as that painting.
It's very dangerous.
Hirazou-san. Do you know what's inside?
No. This is the farthest place I've been.
Here is indeed a good place for hiding treasures.
Treasure?
No... Nothing.
Oh! Right. Hirazou-san. You can go back now.
Inside could be dangerous. We can go by ourselves.
But I'm the one who led you here. How can I leave like this?
It's ok. You've got lots of work to do.
Please don't tell anyone we're here.
Let's go. Ueda.
Ah...
