Dan Da Dan (2024) s01e12 Episode Script
Let's Go to the Cursed House
[Okarun] Please!
Let her stay at your house! We beg you!
No. Take her to your place.
[Okarun] I can't! She's supernatural.
Your house is the best place for her.
[Momo] What's the problem?
We already got a cat.
How dare you lump me in with that nobody?
Thing's plastic and don't even eat!
Why are you only stressin' about her?
Where's her guy at?
-[Momo] He went back to the chemistry lab.
-Why?
[Momo] He said, "As long as my Hana's
safe, I'll go back to my old job."
He's gonna stay there in the day,
and sneak out at night to see her.
As long as you're cool
with him comin' over.
[Jiji] No one else can help, 'cause
no one else has a big, big heart like you!
[all] Please help 'em!
Ugh. I ain't runnin' a hotel
for horny anatomical models.
But, as long as you don't bug
the neighbors, you can stay.
And the ball? Was it the kid's?
[Momo] Yeah, no, it wasn't.
Turned out,
it was just a Christmas ornament.
[Seiko] That's crazy.
[Momo] Maybe it's their mating ritual.
Like how animals
make their butts glow or somethin'.
[Seiko] Well, you do what you gotta do.
-I highly doubt it was that.
-[Turbo Granny] Hey!
[Seiko] Time for dinner.
Get the table ready.
-Are you gonna stay and eat with us?
-Oh, thank you. I'd love to.
-[Turbo Granny shrieking]
-[Jiji gasping]
[Turbo Granny] What a drag.
[Jiji] Momo, you got
some crazy awesome powers!
I totally get why your grandma
trusts you with helpin' me out.
And dude, Okarun, man,
that transformation was so sick!
It was so badass!
Oh, I wish I had
some kind of superpower too!
[Okarun] I wouldn't recommend it.
Watch your backs.
I'm settin' up the table.
-Let me give you a hand with that.
-[Okarun gasps]
[Momo] Oh. Thanks. You get that end.
[Jiji] Ah, roger that!
Hoo! Hyah!
[giggles] What are you doing?
You're such a goofball.
Huh?
Oh, Momo. Don't move.
What? Uh…
You had lint in your hair.
Oh, um… Thanks a lot.
-[Jiji] Oh, just one? That's all I get?
-[gasps]
-[Momo] If you ain't helpin', move.
-[Jiji] Thank me again, and I will.
[Momo] You're lucky
I thanked you at all.
[whimpers]
[Taro] I'm in love with you!
I'll stay with you, no matter what!
If I let you go now,
I'll regret it the rest of my life!
[Okarun] Miss Ayase!
-[boing]
-You had lint!
[chopping]
Got it. That's all.
[Momo] Thanks. You okay?
I decided I won't hold back anymore.
I'm going to take a stand and fight.
[Momo] For what?
[strains]
[in Japanese] I only have eyes for you ♪
From the day we met until now ♪
I want to shout, "I love you"
Let's try to… ♪
[Okarun] Change ♪
[both] Tomorrow! ♪
Hey, morons. You're in the way.
-[whistle blows]
-Would ya chill out?
--You're kickin' the dust up!
-[Okarun and Jiji] Sorry, ma'am!
Hey, Momo, since you're
staying at Jiji's this weekend,
make sure you pack enough undies.
Grandma! These dudes don't
need to hear that!
You're staying at his house? What for?
Oh. I… thought I told you.
Exorcising his house will take a bit,
and he lives a ways out.
-True dat.
-[Momo] I might have to stay the night.
It'll just be the two of you together,
all by yourselves at his house?
No. I was gonna see
if you wanted to come along too.
-[gasps]
-I don't think I could do it without you.
Then let's hurry up and get it done!
The sooner we do, the sooner Jiji can
go back to living in his own house!
Aww, yeah!
What the hell?
[shivers] The school's
so creepy at night!
[boy 1] Is it cool to be here after hours?
[boy 2] Ah, we're not tearin' up the
place, just messin' with the Ouija board.
-[boy 1] Whatever you say.
-[ping]
[gasps] Wait. That was weird.
You guys hear that?
It's freaky here enough,
without you goin' all…
[shrieks]
[running footsteps]
-Something's coming.
-[girls] No, no!
Please no!
[lively salsa music playing]
Get out of the way!

KAMIGOE CITY STATION
Wait for me, Hana!
Don't you worry, I'm comin'!
Hana!

-[Taro gasps]
[crashing]
[tires squeal]
Where is he?
[yawns]
Come on. It's already 4:00 a.m.
Don't worry.
I'll hang right here
till your boy shows up.
Probably just still on the road.
[sleepily] He's comin'.
[clattering]

Sorry, darling. I'm here now.

[grunts]
[sighs] Oh, crap. I crashed out…
-Huh? What the…
-[rooster crows]
Yo! Next time, wake me up
when you get here!
You are a saint! Thank you!
I appreciate you keeping Hana company.
I ran into a bit of trouble tonight,
but from now on, I'll be here by 2:00 a.m.
-Promise!
[Momo] Whoa. You're coming every night?
KEEP OU
JIJI'S ROOM
[eerie music playing]
[sighs] Huh.
[breathing shakily]
[gasps]
What the hell? I can't get to sleep.
'Cause of him.

EPISODE 12
LET'S GO TO THE CURSED HOUSE
-…this one!
-[Jiji] Psych!
-[Okarun wails]
-Dude, you suck at playing Old Maid!
You guys are gangin' up on me.
Stupid game!
[Momo] Now you're sulking like a toddler.
-Toddler Okarun! Priceless.
-I'm done playing. [snorts]
Oh, don't be like that.
We were just jokin' with ya.
Totally. Look, I brought a ton of candy.
Help yourself.
DON'T BE SLOUCHIN'
[Momo] Whoa! Flashback!
Oh, these were my fave!
[Jiji] Yeah, go to town!
Go, Momo! Get candy!
[chuckles] I got it from the old
candy store. So cool it's still around.
[Momo] Oh, same old lady's runnin' it.
Can you believe that?
[mimicking] "Here's 500,000 yen.
In change."
I mean, I was tearin' up
like Creamy Mami! Whoo!
-[Okarun] I'm jealous. And I hate it.
-[Momo] Oh! You got Tango Donuts too?
-[Momo] Oh, I loved those!
-[Jiji] For sure!
I'm being immature, and it makes me sick.
But I don't know what to do about it.
I need to focus on something else.
Like… like getting my nut back!
Nut. Nut.
-[train horn blares]
-Nut.
Nut. Nut.
Nut, nut, nut, nut.
Nut, nut, nut, nut, nut!
-Hey, what's up with you?
-My nut!
-[Momo snorts]
-Huh?
You're thinkin' about that thing
way too much!
-[Okarun] No, I wasn't! I… I…
-Um, hang on.
This has been buggin' me for a minute.
Are nut jokes trending again, or what?
It's nothin' like that.
It's kind of a long story.
Oh! 'Cause I totally thought
it was like that one meme.
Deez nuts!
[Momo] Nut jokes are so out, I swear.
[Jiji] Vamola!
[Momo] The Kazu commercial!
[Okarun thinks] What's with you, Ken?
You're so pathetic!
Ugh. At this rate,
my heart's going to explode.
[Jiji] Remember this one?
[Okarun] I'll pique her interest
and grab her attention.
[Momo and Jiji laughing]
[Jiji] Nnng!
I will talk about
the Tsuchinoko now!
-[Momo] Huh?
-[Jiji] Dude! Hold up!
Tsuchinoko? What about 'em?
Cryptids are real, and not imaginary.
In fact, gorillas were considered UMAs
until a century ago.
And, like the gorilla, I believe
the Tsuchinoko will be
the next cryptid to be proven real!
[Jiji] Yo! The village I live in's got
a legend of a giant snake.
It's even got a shrine that's, like,
200 years old dedicated to it.
It's called Tsuchinoko Shrine.
[Momo] No way! [gasps]
A Tsuchinoko Shrine? I wanna see it!
[old-fashioned accent] Well, shucks, lady.
If you wanna go so bad, I'll take ya.
[Okarun thinks] Crap! I lost her.
A kappa mummy!
There's a shrine with one of them in it.
Cryptid shrines aren't that uncommon,
for what it's worth.
-[ching]
-[thinks] Hah! Let's see him top that.
Uh…
HUGE MAN-EATING EARTHWORM
[Jiji] Whoa! Look at that freaky thing.
Like, I didn't know they were real!
-Does this mean Nessie's real too?
-Uh…
[Jiji] I mean, I saw a photo, but if
it was real, I'd for sure wanna see that!
The image you saw is called
the "Surgeon's Photograph."
Experts determined it was fake.
But I saw a real one
just the other day!
No way! Take me to it!
[thinks] This is the first time
I've talked to someone
-other than Miss Ayase about this.
-[Jiji] I never get to talk about this.
[both] This is fun!
Oh, you're so cool, Okarun!
You know everything!
-I got mad respect for friends like you!
-Uh…
-[Jiji] Uh…
-[Okarun gasps] We…
-We're friends?
-We're not?
Do I suck that bad?
Breathe.
You're friends with Momo, right?
Don't that make me your friend too?
-Don't it?
-[gasps]
So… sorry.
I… I'm an awkward guy.
[shrieks] You're not supposed to say that!
Huh? Say what? Tell me!
Drop it! It's none of your business.
Now you're shutting me out? Why?
What did I do?
-[Okarun] I wish he were more unlikeable.
-Come on, what is it?
-Tell me!
-[Okarun] But he's so nice.
Damn it…
[magical music playing]
[Momo] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
This whole town's full of hot springs!
[Jiji] It's kinda related to my dad's job.
[Momo] Wait.
I thought your dad was a teacher?
[Jiji] He studies volcanoes,
and the local college hired him.
That's why he packed us up
and moved us out here.
[Momo] This volcano ain't
gonna blow soon, is it?
[Jiji] I think my dad said the last time
it popped was about 200 years ago.
-[Jiji] Hasn't made a peep ever since.
-[Momo gasps] That's good.
Chupa-chupa!
-You're kidding.
-We are in hell.
[Jiji] Yeah! [laughs]
[groans]
[both panting]
Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
[Okarun whimpers]
[sighs]
Chupa-chupa!
[both whimper]
[Jiji] Yeah!
[Momo and Okarun gasping]
Whoo! Here it is!
Well, what do you think?
You see any weird auras or anything?
You got way too much energy.
[sighs]
I don't see anything weird.
Just a plain old house.
Are you sure? All the other mediums said
it was the evilest thing they ever felt.
-[Momo] Well, I feel tired. Thirsty.
-[sighs]
[Jiji] Are you sure you don't
see anything weird? Like, anything?
[Momo] Super sure.
W… wait for me, Miss Ayase.
-[rustling, low rumbling]
-Uh…
-Okarun, you comin' or what?
-[Okarun] Uh… yes.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades]
[Momo] Hmm…
What do you think, Miss Ayase?
Do you see any weird auras?
[Momo] Hmm…
Hmm…
-What do you think about the flavor?
-[shrieks] The TV turned itself on!
-Nope, that was me.
-I thought it was a ghost.
Why did you turn it on all of a sudden?
-I'm bored, and it's a TV.
-[man] The yolk inside is perfect.
-[Momo] Nothin' else to do.
-[man] So creamy and slurpalicious!
[woman] And that's today's recipe.
Now, back to the studio!
Wait. You don't think
I made this up, do ya?
Nah, course not.
Whatever's here was too gnarly
for the other mediums to handle.
And if I can't notice it now,
that means it's probably hiding.
-Huh?
-It's the same as with Turbo Granny.
If a spirit's power is weak,
it's hard for me to see its aura.
This one's hiding, just like she was.
It can hide all it wants to.
I got its number.
You're so cool!
Massage, ma'am? On the house.
[Okarun yelps]
[Momo] Mmm.
Yeah, that hits the spot.
I could really
go for a drink right now, too.
Somethin' sweet, please.
A glass of ice-cold juice, comin' up!
[squeakily] Touched… shoulder…
-We should rest up while we can.
-Uh…
Come on. Have a seat.
Uh… Huh?
All we can do now is chill out
and wait for nighttime to come.
Spirits are more active then.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go
hit one of them hot springs.
Huh?
Did you say you couldn't see anything
just so you could go to the hot springs?
[Momo] Not even! There's nothing here now.
Hope you and Jiji have fun
while I'm soakin'.
Wait! You're really leaving us?
If something evil shows up, we're dead.
Not gonna happen.
I'll be back here before it gets dark.
Hot springs, bitches!
-Yeah!
-But… Wait!
Whoo!
I brought you a glass
of the sweetest juice in our fridge!
Mo… Momo?
She just left to find
a hot spring to soak in.
Dang it. I wanted to go soak with her too.
[Okarun grunts]
You play soccer?
-[whimpering]
-[Jiji] Trap it. Yeah, like that!
Nice, nice!
Now try passing it to me.
All you gotta do is use the inner part
of your foot here to kick the ball.
[Okarun trembles]
[yelps] Ah, sorry!
[laughs] No worries.
Here.
[yelps] I'm sorry!
[thinks] I'm so pathetic.
I'm glad Miss Ayase isn't here.
At least I have time to figure it out.
Then, when she gets back,
I'll impress her.
-[chiming]
-You can kick that ball like a champ!
You're so cool!
[giggles]
[Jiji] Come on, man, pass it!
[Okarun] Oh! Right.
-[Jiji] So, you in love with Momo?
-Uh…
Huh?
[thinks] Oh, I hope
those two are getting along.
Okarun doesn't have any guy friends.
If I were there, I'd just be in the way.
Good luck, Okarun.
[sighs]
[Jiji] I mean, Momo is cute.
-Miss Ayase's the first friend I ever had.
-Come on!
I respect her.
She's special to me!
Nice pass!
I feel that, bro.
You respect her. She's special to ya.
As for me, I totally love her personality.
-And her face.
-[gasps]
I do too!
Wait.
You said you respected her.
Right. Plus everything you said.
Dude, that's no fair! Oh, okay, then.
Well, uh, everything plus I love her eyes!
-There, I win.
-[gasps]
Everything including that,
plus I love her mouth.
There, I win!
[Jiji] Nope! That don't count!
[Okarun] Does too! [struggling]
I said I loved her face first, and her
mouth's on her face, so yours don't count!
Then you saying you love her eyes
doesn't count either!
All mine count, 'cause
she's my childhood friend!
-I win!
-[splutters]
[seethes] Huh?
-I won.
-What? How come?
What ya got
that tops childhood friend, huh?
[Okarun, squeakily] We…
No. Never mind.
What?
[sighs]
I should get out before I'm too dizzy to.
These walls are kinda high
for an open-air hot spring.
Woulda been nice to have a view.
Oh…
-[door bangs]
-[gasps]
-[man 1] Well, lookee here.
-[gasps]
-[man 1] We got company.
-[chuckles]
And I'll be damned
if she ain't the cutest thing ever.
-[chuckles]
-[grunts]
[Momo squeaks] Oh, crap.
-[both panting]
-Man, you're stubborn.
But you got guts, I'll give you that.
Yeah, I'm not done. I'm not giving up.
Uh…
Hey. Let's be pals and shake on it.
Sure, that sounds good.
-[yelps]
-I win, sucker!
You're a real bastard!
If Miss Ayase saw this,
she'd call you a cheater!
-Say I won! Say it! Say it!
-[Okarun gasps]
[croakily] Never!
I won't give up till you say I won!
[both groaning]
Let go of me, Jiji!
-I just noticed something.
-Huh?
-[gasps]
-Uh…
-What is it?
-Look closer. You see?
-[gasps]
-[Jiji] Uh…
[Okarun] Your house is
bigger on the outside.
-[Jiji] Uh… uh…
-[Okarun] Uh…
-[gasps]
-Huh?
[Okarun] I don't remember
there being any rooms on that side of it.
[eerie music playing]
[man 1] Kinda young
to be here alone.
-It's co-ed.
-[gasps]
MALE FEMALE MIXED USE
WATCH YOUR STEP
[Momo] Like anyone can read that.
-[man 2] Ooh, that's so hot.
-[man 3] That's nice.
-[man 4] I could go for a beer right now.
-[man 5] So good!
Can't believe I didn't notice it before.
You're right.
This place is bigger outside than in.
Wonder if there's another room behind it.
[knock echoes]
Well, it's hollow.
[Momo thinks] What am I gonna do?
I wanna get out, but those chodes
are totally blocking the way.
Oh, great. Now I'm really dizzy.
I gotta get out.
Let's bust a hole in it.
[Okarun] Is that okay?
It's a rental, so it ain't.
Whatever. I'm doin' it.
I still don't know why my folks got sick,
but maybe I'll find the answer
behind the wall.
[man 1] Hey, sweetie.
You know about gators?
[Momo] Huh? What do you mean?
Like alligators? Sure.
[men laugh]
[man 1] No, not those.
I'm talkin' about guys in co-ed baths.
Guys that stalk
cute young things like you.
-Those gators.
-[gasps]
[sinister giggling]
[Momo gasps]
[thinks] Are my powers strong enough
to fight off all these goons?
[Okarun gasps]
Uh…
-[wind gusting]
-[shudders]
[low humming, papers rustling]
[Momo] Maybe they're like a wolf pack.
If I take out the leader,
the rest'll scatter.
[grunts]
-[man growling]
-[Momo gasps]
[yelps]
[gasping]
[thinks] Crap!
[sinister giggling]
[wind howling]
[both gasping shakily]
[lively music playing]
[song in Japanese playing]
Any resemblance to actual persons
or organizations in this work of fiction
(Ken Takakura included) is coincidental.
Let her stay at your house! We beg you!
No. Take her to your place.
[Okarun] I can't! She's supernatural.
Your house is the best place for her.
[Momo] What's the problem?
We already got a cat.
How dare you lump me in with that nobody?
Thing's plastic and don't even eat!
Why are you only stressin' about her?
Where's her guy at?
-[Momo] He went back to the chemistry lab.
-Why?
[Momo] He said, "As long as my Hana's
safe, I'll go back to my old job."
He's gonna stay there in the day,
and sneak out at night to see her.
As long as you're cool
with him comin' over.
[Jiji] No one else can help, 'cause
no one else has a big, big heart like you!
[all] Please help 'em!
Ugh. I ain't runnin' a hotel
for horny anatomical models.
But, as long as you don't bug
the neighbors, you can stay.
And the ball? Was it the kid's?
[Momo] Yeah, no, it wasn't.
Turned out,
it was just a Christmas ornament.
[Seiko] That's crazy.
[Momo] Maybe it's their mating ritual.
Like how animals
make their butts glow or somethin'.
[Seiko] Well, you do what you gotta do.
-I highly doubt it was that.
-[Turbo Granny] Hey!
[Seiko] Time for dinner.
Get the table ready.
-Are you gonna stay and eat with us?
-Oh, thank you. I'd love to.
-[Turbo Granny shrieking]
-[Jiji gasping]
[Turbo Granny] What a drag.

when you get here!
You are a saint! Thank you!
I appreciate you keeping Hana company.
I ran into a bit of trouble tonight,
but from now on, I'll be here by 2:00 a.m.
-Promise!
[Momo] Whoa. You're coming every night?
KEEP OU
JIJI'S ROOM
[eerie music playing]
[sighs] Huh.
[breathing shakily]
[gasps]
What the hell? I can't get to sleep.
'Cause of him.

EPISODE 12
LET'S GO TO THE CURSED HOUSE
-…this one!
-[Jiji] Psych!
-[Okarun wails]
-Dude, you suck at playing Old Maid!
You guys are gangin' up on me.
Stupid game!
[Momo] Now you're sulking like a toddler.
-Toddler Okarun! Priceless.
-I'm done playing. [snorts]
Oh, don't be like that.
We were just jokin' with ya.
Totally. Look, I brought a ton of candy.
Help yourself.
DON'T BE SLOUCHIN'
[Momo] Whoa! Flashback!
Oh, these were my fave!
[Jiji] Yeah, go to town!
Go, Momo! Get candy!
[chuckles] I got it from the old
candy store. So cool it's still around.
[Momo] Oh, same old lady's runnin' it.
Can you believe that?
[mimicking] "Here's 500,000 yen.
In change."
I mean, I was tearin' up
like Creamy Mami! Whoo!
-[Okarun] I'm jealous. And I hate it.
-[Momo] Oh! You got Tango Donuts too?
-[Momo] Oh, I loved those!
-[Jiji] For sure!
I'm being immature, and it makes me sick.
But I don't know what to do about it.
I need to focus on something else.
Like… like getting my nut back!
Nut. Nut.
-[train horn blares]
-Nut.
Nut. Nut.
Nut, nut, nut, nut.
Nut, nut, nut, nut, nut!
-Hey, what's up with you?
-My nut!
-[Momo snorts]
-Huh?
You're thinkin' about that thing
way too much!
-[Okarun] No, I wasn't! I… I…
-Um, hang on.
This has been buggin' me for a minute.
Are nut jokes trending again, or what?
It's nothin' like that.
It's kind of a long story.
Oh! 'Cause I totally thought
it was like that one meme.
Deez nuts!
[Momo] Nut jokes are so out, I swear.
[Jiji] Vamola!
[Momo] The Kazu commercial!
[Okarun thinks] What's with you, Ken?
You're so pathetic!
Ugh. At this rate,
my heart's going to explode.
[Jiji] Remember this one?
[Okarun] I'll pique her interest
and grab her attention.
[Momo and Jiji laughing]
[Jiji] Nnng!
I will talk about
the Tsuchinoko now!
-[Momo] Huh?
-[Jiji] Dude! Hold up!
Tsuchinoko? What about 'em?
Cryptids are real, and not imaginary.
In fact, gorillas were considered UMAs
until a century ago.
And, like the gorilla, I believe
the Tsuchinoko will be
the next cryptid to be proven real!
[Jiji] Yo! The village I live in's got
a legend of a giant snake.
It's even got a shrine that's, like,
200 years old dedicated to it.
It's called Tsuchinoko Shrine.
[Momo] No way! [gasps]
A Tsuchinoko Shrine? I wanna see it!
[old-fashioned accent] Well, shucks, lady.
If you wanna go so bad, I'll take ya.
[Okarun thinks] Crap! I lost her.
A kappa mummy!
There's a shrine with one of them in it.
Cryptid shrines aren't that uncommon,
for what it's worth.
-[ching]
-[thinks] Hah! Let's see him top that.
Uh…
HUGE MAN-EATING EARTHWORM
[Jiji] Whoa! Look at that freaky thing.
Like, I didn't know they were real!
-Does this mean Nessie's real too?
-Uh…
[Jiji] I mean, I saw a photo, but if
it was real, I'd for sure wanna see that!
The image you saw is called
the "Surgeon's Photograph."
Experts determined it was fake.
But I saw a real one
just the other day!
No way! Take me to it!
[thinks] This is the first time
I've talked to someone
-other than Miss Ayase about this.
-[Jiji] I never get to talk about this.
[both] This is fun!
Oh, you're so cool, Okarun!
You know everything!
-I got mad respect for friends like you!
-Uh…
-[Jiji] Uh…
-[Okarun gasps] We…
-We're friends?
-We're not?
Do I suck that bad?
Breathe.
You're friends with Momo, right?
Don't that make me your friend too?
-Don't it?
-[gasps]
So… sorry.
I… I'm an awkward guy.
[shrieks] You're not supposed to say that!
Huh? Say what? Tell me!
Drop it! It's none of your business.
Now you're shutting me out? Why?
What did I do?
-[Okarun] I wish he were more unlikeable.
-Come on, what is it?
-Tell me!
-[Okarun] But he's so nice.
Damn it…
[magical music playing]
[Momo] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
This whole town's full of hot springs!
[Jiji] It's kinda related to my dad's job.
[Momo] Wait.
I thought your dad was a teacher?
[Jiji] He studies volcanoes,
and the local college hired him.
That's why he packed us up
and moved us out here.
[Momo] This volcano ain't
gonna blow soon, is it?
[Jiji] I think my dad said the last time
it popped was about 200 years ago.
-[Jiji] Hasn't made a peep ever since.
-[Momo gasps] That's good.
Chupa-chupa!
-You're kidding.
-We are in hell.
[Jiji] Yeah! [laughs]
[groans]
[both panting]
Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
[Okarun whimpers]
[sighs]
Chupa-chupa!
[both whimper]
[Jiji] Yeah!
[Momo and Okarun gasping]
Whoo! Here it is!
Well, what do you think?
You see any weird auras or anything?
You got way too much energy.
[sighs]
I don't see anything weird.
Just a plain old house.
Are you sure? All the other mediums said
it was the evilest thing they ever felt.
-[Momo] Well, I feel tired. Thirsty.
-[sighs]
[Jiji] Are you sure you don't
see anything weird? Like, anything?
[Momo] Super sure.
W… wait for me, Miss Ayase.
-[rustling, low rumbling]
-Uh…
-Okarun, you comin' or what?
-[Okarun] Uh… yes.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades]
[Momo] Hmm…
What do you think, Miss Ayase?
Do you see any weird auras?
[Momo] Hmm…
Hmm…
-What do you think about the flavor?
-[shrieks] The TV turned itself on!
-Nope, that was me.
-I thought it was a ghost.
Why did you turn it on all of a sudden?
-I'm bored, and it's a TV.
-[man] The yolk inside is perfect.
-[Momo] Nothin' else to do.
-[man] So creamy and slurpalicious!
[woman] And that's today's recipe.
Now, back to the studio!
Wait. You don't think
I made this up, do ya?
Nah, course not.
Whatever's here was too gnarly
for the other mediums to handle.
And if I can't notice it now,
that means it's probably hiding.
-Huh?
-It's the same as with Turbo Granny.
If a spirit's power is weak,
it's hard for me to see its aura.
This one's hiding, just like she was.
It can hide all it wants to.
I got its number.
You're so cool!
Massage, ma'am? On the house.
[Okarun yelps]
[Momo] Mmm.
Yeah, that hits the spot.
I could really
go for a drink right now, too.
Somethin' sweet, please.
A glass of ice-cold juice, comin' up!
[squeakily] Touched… shoulder…
-We should rest up while we can.
-Uh…
Come on. Have a seat.
Uh… Huh?
All we can do now is chill out
and wait for nighttime to come.
Spirits are more active then.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go
hit one of them hot springs.
Huh?
Did you say you couldn't see anything
just so you could go to the hot springs?
[Momo] Not even! There's nothing here now.
Hope you and Jiji have fun
while I'm soakin'.
Wait! You're really leaving us?
If something evil shows up, we're dead.
Not gonna happen.
I'll be back here before it gets dark.
Hot springs, bitches!
-Yeah!
-But… Wait!
Whoo!
I brought you a glass
of the sweetest juice in our fridge!
Mo… Momo?
She just left to find
a hot spring to soak in.
Dang it. I wanted to go soak with her too.
[Okarun grunts]
You play soccer?
-[whimpering]
-[Jiji] Trap it. Yeah, like that!
Nice, nice!
Now try passing it to me.
All you gotta do is use the inner part
of your foot here to kick the ball.
[Okarun trembles]
[yelps] Ah, sorry!
[laughs] No worries.
Here.
[yelps] I'm sorry!
[thinks] I'm so pathetic.
I'm glad Miss Ayase isn't here.
At least I have time to figure it out.
Then, when she gets back,
I'll impress her.
-[chiming]
-You can kick that ball like a champ!
You're so cool!
[giggles]
[Jiji] Come on, man, pass it!
[Okarun] Oh! Right.
-[Jiji] So, you in love with Momo?
-Uh…
Huh?
[thinks] Oh, I hope
those two are getting along.
Okarun doesn't have any guy friends.
If I were there, I'd just be in the way.
Good luck, Okarun.
[sighs]
[Jiji] I mean, Momo is cute.
-Miss Ayase's the first friend I ever had.
-Come on!
I respect her.
She's special to me!
Nice pass!
I feel that, bro.
You respect her. She's special to ya.
As for me, I totally love her personality.
-And her face.
-[gasps]
I do too!
Wait.
You said you respected her.
Right. Plus everything you said.
Dude, that's no fair! Oh, okay, then.
Well, uh, everything plus I love her eyes!
-There, I win.
-[gasps]
Everything including that,
plus I love her mouth.
There, I win!
[Jiji] Nope! That don't count!
[Okarun] Does too! [struggling]
I said I loved her face first, and her
mouth's on her face, so yours don't count!
Then you saying you love her eyes
doesn't count either!
All mine count, 'cause
she's my childhood friend!
-I win!
-[splutters]
[seethes] Huh?
-I won.
-What? How come?
What ya got
that tops childhood friend, huh?
[Okarun, squeakily] We…
No. Never mind.
What?
[sighs]
I should get out before I'm too dizzy to.
These walls are kinda high
for an open-air hot spring.
Woulda been nice to have a view.
Oh…
-[door bangs]
-[gasps]
-[man 1] Well, lookee here.
-[gasps]
-[man 1] We got company.
-[chuckles]
And I'll be damned
if she ain't the cutest thing ever.
-[chuckles]
-[grunts]
[Momo squeaks] Oh, crap.
-[both panting]
-Man, you're stubborn.
But you got guts, I'll give you that.
Yeah, I'm not done. I'm not giving up.
Uh…
Hey. Let's be pals and shake on it.
Sure, that sounds good.
-[yelps]
-I win, sucker!
You're a real bastard!
If Miss Ayase saw this,
she'd call you a cheater!
-Say I won! Say it! Say it!
-[Okarun gasps]
[croakily] Never!
I won't give up till you say I won!
[both groaning]
Let go of me, Jiji!
-I just noticed something.
-Huh?
-[gasps]
-Uh…
-What is it?
-Look closer. You see?
-[gasps]
-[Jiji] Uh…
[Okarun] Your house is
bigger on the outside.
-[Jiji] Uh… uh…
-[Okarun] Uh…
-[gasps]
-Huh?
[Okarun] I don't remember
there being any rooms on that side of it.
[eerie music playing]
[man 1] Kinda young
to be here alone.
-It's co-ed.
-[gasps]
MALE FEMALE MIXED USE
WATCH YOUR STEP
[Momo] Like anyone can read that.
-[man 2] Ooh, that's so hot.
-[man 3] That's nice.
-[man 4] I could go for a beer right now.
-[man 5] So good!
Can't believe I didn't notice it before.
You're right.
This place is bigger outside than in.
Wonder if there's another room behind it.
[knock echoes]
Well, it's hollow.
[Momo thinks] What am I gonna do?
I wanna get out, but those chodes
are totally blocking the way.
Oh, great. Now I'm really dizzy.
I gotta get out.
Let's bust a hole in it.
[Okarun] Is that okay?
It's a rental, so it ain't.
Whatever. I'm doin' it.
I still don't know why my folks got sick,
but maybe I'll find the answer
behind the wall.
[man 1] Hey, sweetie.
You know about gators?
[Momo] Huh? What do you mean?
Like alligators? Sure.
[men laugh]
[man 1] No, not those.
I'm talkin' about guys in co-ed baths.
Guys that stalk
cute young things like you.
-Those gators.
-[gasps]
[sinister giggling]
[Momo gasps]
[thinks] Are my powers strong enough
to fight off all these goons?
[Okarun gasps]
Uh…
-[wind gusting]
-[shudders]
[low humming, papers rustling]
[Momo] Maybe they're like a wolf pack.
If I take out the leader,
the rest'll scatter.
[grunts]
-[man growling]
-[Momo gasps]
[yelps]
[gasping]
[thinks] Crap!
[sinister giggling]
[wind howling]
[both gasping shakily]
