Feel free to tell me where I should improve, or what needs work. Is my characterization lacking? Did I get some facts wrong? Please tell me here.

Kantarou is taken from the happenings of vol 9/10 of the manga.

Anon and screening are enabled.

It seems to be a busy week. Well, I already started digging my grave, so I might as well just continue on and go through with it.

After talking to a rather sane young man, I've come to the realization that some people could probably due with an English tutor along side their English classes. I will be more than glad to offer help and supplements for this, as long as you currently speak Japanese. Just give me an idea of where you need help with and I'll try my best.

Also, Haruka, we're resuming your lessons too! I'm going to find you a study partner~♥

I don't like the cold, I would like a kotatsu to hid under for the rest of winter.

And before I forget, there are no ghosts in the high school! I would like to know who's causing all the trouble though.

[Private to Crino and Haruka (because the things he would hide from Haruka he wouldn't bother telling anyone)]

Crino chan, I need to talk to you, now.

[/Private]

Wait, this has happened before, at least two other times previously. It's far to regular. Stop messing with us!

With good news comes bad news. I suppose that is the way of the world. Crino chan is home and is doing better, but Bonten sama has left. But, in a way that's a good thing. I'm sure he had important things to do back home.

Speaking of which! Haruka~ we should rearrange the rooms! You could have your own room again if you like, I know how much you like having your own private space. You won't have to worry about me bothering you in the night anymore either.

The safe house thing is completed, and it looks like I'm going to have to pay attention to it and see when my presence is required. I feel as if an extended vacation has just ended and I have to return to the daily grind. I want my freedom back! I want the ability to do as I please when I please!

Haruka should go watch it instead of me, it's getting cold and I feel like sleeping in. There's nothing like being wrapped up in blankets the entire day.

The coming and going never gets easier when you learn to like someone, does it? Some relationships are so transient.

I don't want to be the person left behind....

It's such hard work looking after someone. Haruka was so much easier. Not that I cared for his choice of location. I haven't been properly home in days, I'm exhausted! And then Haruka got his stupid little marble. Why didn't I get anything? There's lots of things I want too!

But! I got to go home today, and I found bottles, not one, not two, but several! Oh Sake! How I have missed you~♥ My torn up clothes were fixed, and there was some paper and my favorite pen as well as some new clothing. I feel smiled down on by god, I think this week might be a good one.

Ne ne, Yuuko san, how are you feeling?

A lot of people are here alone, right? Or, even if you do have people you know, you might still get lonely even with them around? It's only natural, cold nights huddled under tattered and torn blankets, no stimulus, just pure survival and the attempt to adapt.

Well, do not worry my friends, I understand your plight. You need a companion, one who can sit with you and give you company when you feel like it, and when you don't? Well, no need to worry, you can tell them to leave.

So, starting today I shall be offering the marvelous services of my dear Haruka to the ladies of Discedo. Men I guess can also benefit, if that's your type of thing, I won't judge you.

Haruka is a tall, lovely and interesting enough to keep anyone company! He knows quite well how to handle a woman, and make her feel like queen! No longer will you have to be sad, or alone, just contact me and all those worries will be dealt with in the swiftest manner.

So that was it? Nothing else? That almost seems boring, though the fog is still around. But, I should be glad nothing worse happened. Even if I have to deal with another little brat for now. Shouldn't relax completely just yet though.

Titi kun, now that things have settled for a little bit, would you like to meet someone? I think you may like her. Or at least where she lives. You better not still be mad.

I don't dare go out anymore. Hearing things, seeing things, yet feeling nothing isn't something I want to deal with. I just keep feeling more and more uneasy.

It's as if the past week has really been full of a lot of issues and problems. It's like I can't get a break.

Kamui san, please keep an eye on Titi kun I know you have him, or you should anyway. And if he continues to run off and harm himself, please tie him up securely.

After a little thought on the words of a clever young lady, I've decided to put out an offer for all you out there. I will be placing very basic protections in Horton, but, for anything more specific, or more effective, I will need to add things to individual apartments and rooms. If you wish for your space to have a higher level of protection against the creatures that roam here. (Mainly the ghostly ones.) Then please tell me and I'll write you down on a list.

This offer includes other buildings besides Horton. So I recommend asking while I still feel generous and bored.

These are becoming quite the nuisance. First Bonten sama was caught in one, and now they seem to be causing more issues. It's almost as if the minute I find and take one down two are up to replace it elsewhere.

And these damn scales! Stop following me and pointing at me!

Youko chan... she's gone. Her stay here wasn't long, but it was cherished. It's safer back home for her anyway.... Haruka and I can take care of ourselves here, Youko chan could have gotten hurt on her own.

...

Maybe she'll come back, I can at least keep hopeful.

This is wrong, it defies nature! It is August! It is summer! It should not be cold! Not that I particularly like it hot, or direct sun like that... I always have to have a hat and other things in summer. But this will just mean winter will be that much colder. I don't like the cold.

Mou... I need something to do.

Ash fall, now acidic rain. At this rate I'll never get to go home. I'll have to make my home here in the hospital, suffering with the sick and wounded.

I think if I have to stay here any longer I will die.

I'm tired of this room, this building and this bed.

Haruka! I want to go home!

...

Haruka... Haruka? Where are you? Where am I?

[There is the sound of movement and then the sound of someone in pain.]

Ah!

What happened....

Haruka, I don't feel so well....

The sun once again has freed itself from a dark prison. Do you think it may have come out to play? Or simply get drunk?

[Private to Muraki]

We should talk again sometime. It's been a while since I've met anyone that cares at all about the old traditions.

The other day I saw a strange stick man creature. I highly doubt it was natural.

Titi kun seems fine at the moment, which I'm glad. But, he should never have ended up in that situation to begin with. I'm highly disappointed, considering the things going on that day, such a thing should never have happened. Considering the state of earlier that day....

I've been coasting enough until now, it's time we organized our household properly. Youko chan, I expect you to keep a diligent management, as you are good at.

I wasn't expecting something like this, but I suppose I should have.

Youko chan, I want you to stay inside. It won't be safe outside. Perhaps you can assist with the soup kitchen or something. Haruka, I want to see what the damage is over all.

Titi kun, are you alright?

I hope not many people got hurt.

In a crumbling city, is anywhere really safe if a large earthquake hits? Where would I want to be?

Kanto wasn't that long ago... I don't want to go through that again. These tremors, and what that girl said have left me feeling uncomfortable.

Life really does know how to make things better! Don't worry Watari kun, you don't need to do the laundry anymore. But, I'm sure if you like you may help Youko chan with anything that might need doing. Though this isn't the best places, it is nice to have my family all together again! Still... two rooms is still far too small. Youko chan will need her own space too.

Oh yes I'm very curious about a person known as the Medicine Seller, if I could talk to you that would be wonderful.

I fear we have outgrown our space. Two rooms just isn't enough anymore. Not that two rooms is ever enough. Who lives like that? Utter poverty. Not that, well... they try their best, there's nothing wrong with living in a two room house. Just... I have a many room house! With an upstairs!! I have stairs! They go up! And a garden and a porch and electricity and a TELEPHONE! I have a TELEPHONE! The street outside is paved! And it's all mine! Completely and totally mine! I miss my house... and Youko chan.

...

Anyway, the space is not enough. There is need for expanding. The closet to the side seems decent enough to store things in. Maybe if the wall was torn down or something. Still.... Hey, does anyone live next to 104 and 105 at the high school?

I'm curious, what is everyone's current experience with the paranormal? How much do you know about it? What do you think is the best course of action when dealing with it?

I assume since we had that little ghost outbreak not long ago that most of you should have had some sort of interaction of some sort. If you could protect your homes from such future issues, would you do it? Would you believe it could be done?

Well! You're all in luck! Kantarou's Paranormal Protection Agency is more than happy to assist you! I can guarantee a working seal for any apartment, room, or drafty space you may live in. Can you afford to ignore this right now? You never know what might happen tomorrow.

I have a very important question to ask, and hopefully one of you out there will know the answer. I'm assuming someone must know, since we managed to get some information about this. The current problem, with people turning into monsters, who is familiar with this? Even remotely familiar. I want to know as much as is available on it, and I want to know it soon if it can be done.

This has been going on too long, and I don't see many people really try to do anything yet.

Whoever put up this junk in the hallways of the high school:

Take them down now!

It's annoying and useless! It doesn't do anything other than aggravate those of us who live here. If I have to doge another thing I'm going to be angry! I'm already angry!

What the hell is this suppose to prove anyway?

Another epidemic of something horrible is going around I see. It's getting irritating how there's never anything anyone can ever do about it. From what I've seen of this it seems more like a curse than a disease as well.

I wonder if it could be some sort of possession? An evil energy? ...Would knowing the source help at all?

HARUKAAAAA! I'm bored!

Killing doctors now? We really are filled with intelligence people aren't we? Personally I prefer my sadists to be a little smarter, you get less random acts of pointless violence. Not to mention stupid violence.

Ne ne, Haruka lets fly somewhere high! I want to see what the city looks like from above!

...

I swear something like this has happened before... or, maybe I'm just remembering wrong. Damn my head, I shouldn't have drunk so much last night.
