Iroha and Satoru began to meet more often, Erika's brother often drove them around, and often spent time with them.

Satoru confessed his feelings for Iroha but was rejected.

He pretended that everything was fine, however, his obsession was becoming more and more serious.

One day Erika wanted to borrow a pen from Satoru, when she noticed his drawer with Iroha's photos, an argument ensued.

Since then, Satoru and Iroha have had no contact with each other.

Satoru's mental state deteriorated day by day.

In early May, Iroha and Erika kissed at a sleepover, Erika kept it a secret, as did Iroha.

The two tried to hide their relationship from Satoru as his behavior became progressively concerning.
Erika was worried that her brother might go crazy, she relayed for Iroha about Satoru having a drawer with her photos.

There have been no other incidents with non-essentials since April 17.

Nae maintained the rule in an exemplary manner despite having to avoid her sister.

Midori was embarrassed that an opportunity to make money was taken away from her by Sakai.

Other than that, she didn't care; in previous classes she had only been friends with Akito Yamazaki and Tomomi Shiraishi, and sometimes liked to annoy Kento Sakai.

Yoshito Hayashida almost got expelled from school, but he was given one last chance, as there had been no such problems with him in previous years.

Ogino's and Takatsuki's grades worsened, as they could no longer legally cheat.

6th May 2007.
Ayane and Rika noticed that Nae looks tired, Hiiragi has bags over her eyes, and she happens to fall asleep in class.

Rika: Hey, Nae are you okay?

Nae: Nothing happened, I just temporarily have my biological clock reset

Rika: Are you sure?
Did you know it could be cancer?

The curse also counts as diseases
You should watch out for yourself Nae...

Nae: Thanks for your care Rika.

Rika: It's my duty to make sure everyone survives until March.
You're welcome Nae

Ayane: May I ask you why you are sleeping worse Nae?

Nae: I pulled an all-nighter a few times.

Ayane: Then it's enough for you to hold out until evening tonight.

Nae: I hope so...

In fact, Nae Hiiragi began having terrible nightmares that kept her awake.

Her mental condition began to deteriorate since April, at first no one noticed it, only Ai heard Nae sometimes wake up screaming in the night and yelling something to herself.

However, because of her role, Ai could not tell about Nae's disorder.
Although Nae suffered, she hid it from her friends.

Most often, she dreamed terrifying visions, and moments of death.

Isamu also noticed a change in Nae's behavior.

Isamu: Hiiragi-san you've been looking somehow gloomy lately…
Are you okay?

Nae: Thanks for your concern Takatsuki-kun, but I'm fine.

Seeing changes in Nae's behavior, Ayane and the rest decided to make a trip to the festival, which is held in May/June in the Yamegawa village.
Seeing changes in Nae's behavior, Ayane and the rest decided to make a trip to the Yamegawa festival, which is held in May/June in this village.

Ayane's sister Yuuna agreed to drive her, Rika and Nae to the Yamegawa village.
May passed, slowly most of the class began to believe that the curse would be avoided this year.

However, the deaths of May were approaching,

Satoru slowly began to blame Iroha's father, Tsuyoshi Motoga, for his misfortune.
He also slowly began to think that since he would not be with Iroha, no one would, And he slowly planned Iroha's murder and his suicide.

May 30th 2007.
The atmosphere in the 3-3 class relaxed.

Everyone thought their lives were in no danger.

Iroha and Erika joined the trip to Yamegawa for the festival.

Ayane: Hey Nae, we have a surprise for you!

Nae: Huh?

Ayane: We are making a trip to Yamegawa on June 3rd for the festival.

Nae: That's very nice of you, My family even has a lodge in Yamegawa, We will even be able to stay for the second day of the festival, only I don't know if we will all fit there ,we'll even be able to stay for the second day of the festival, only I don't know if we'll all fit there, at most I'll take Ayane, Rika and maybe one person at most with me.

Isamu: Eeeh?
Cool though, in that case can I be the fourth one?

Rika nudged Isamu.

Rika: Surely there will still be someone there right Nae?

Nae: Yes, possibly.

Suddenly, Satoru ran into the classroom with a bloodstained knife.

Satoru: MOTOGI-SAN I LOVE YOU!

Iroha was frightened, and the whole class was in shock, except for Hayashida, who sat in his chair and didn't seem to care that Erika's brother had entered the classroom with a knife.
Satoru began approaching Iroha babbling something.

Just as Satoru was about to stab Iroha, Erika jumped at Satoru.

Erika: Can you stop?

You're not going to kill Motogi-san, are you?

Satoru: You're in my way!

Satoru stabbed Erika, for a couple of time, After a moment of shock, Kento recovered and shouted to Isamu Takatsuki and Yoshito Hayashida.

Kento: Hayashida-kun!

Takatsuki-kun!

Take action against this madman!

Fuyutsuki-san!

Shimizu-kun!

Check what is the condition of Matsunaga-san and take care of her.

Yoshito: F*ck off, I don't give a sh*t about it

Kento: Do you want the curse to start?

Think of yourself and Ogino-san!

Yoshito: Matsunaga-san's brother only wants to kill Motogi-san.

Why should I risk my life for her?

Ichijirou: I'll help.

The teacher together with Takatsuki-kun overpowered Satoru, Rika and Yuu checked Erika's condition, she was still alive, however, the wound was severe.
By the time the police and ambulance arrived, Erika Matsunaga had died.

Seiji Ota, approached Iroha Motoga with the sad news.

Seiji: Motogi-san,
Unfortunately, I must say that Erika Matsunaga was not the only victim of her brother, just after you went to school, we received a report that your father - Tsuyoshi Motoga - was killed.

Most likely, the perpetrator was the same...

Iroha began crying, Iroha began crying,

Yui Suzuki began to comfort her after losing her best friend (girlfriend) and her father.

The next day, Kento, Rika and Takuya announced to the entire class that Mami Ogino and Isamu Takatsuki had broken the rules for ignoring "non-existent entities."

As a result, they were given the status of non-existent as well.
Isamu faltered slightly, but then Midori spoke to him and to Mami.

Midori: You owe me both 5,000 yen each

Isamu: Eh? What?

Midori: What you have just heard... 5,000 yen
Ogino-san you too

Mami: F*ck off!, we may have used your cheat cards, but only once or twice, we agreed for a month.

Midori: Exactly, that's why you have to pay me.

Mami: I won't pay anything.

Isamu: I don't have that much money either.

Midori: I guess you value your lives right?

Mami: Are you threatening me?

Midori: No, but if you paid me the five thousand I would share with you my brother's diary from 1992/1993.

Isamu: Asano-san... did you have a brother?

Midori: Yes, but both he and my parents died in 1993, I was not even a year old when they died.
My brother - Ryouma kept a diary, who knows, maybe there is advice there on how to survive the curse?
If you pay me 7,000 yen I will let you read it.

Mami: You know what Asano?, screw you!

Isamu: I can pay, but 2500 yen.

Midori: 4500

Isamu: 2800

Midori: 4350

Isamu: 3100?

Midori: 4200

Isamu: I have no more than 3500

Midori: Fine

Mami: I didn't think you were such an idiot Takatsuki-kun, are you going to pay that scrooge 3,500 yen for insight into a stupid diary?

Isamu: You know, I would like to live through this year though, this diary can help me do that...

Mami: Pathetic…

At Erika's funeral, most of the class went while Ayane and Yui stayed to comfort Iroha.

Nae came home where she found an unusual sight.

In the family room was her cousin Hirota Hiiragi, and he was talking to Sachio Hiiragi - her father.

Nae: Hirota?

Hirota: Hello Nae, long time no see

Nae: What are you doing here?

Forgive me, but I thought you were dead...

Sachio: Nae!

Hirota: Oh, you mean this? (Hirota pointed to his black eyepatch and empty sleeve), I had a serious motorcycle accident, but as you can see I'm alive.

Nae: When was the last time we saw each other?

Hirota: Good question, but for now I want to talk a little with Uncle Sachio, I heard what happened to Aunt Yuriko.

My condolences , Nae.

Nae left the room, leaving her father with Hirota.

Meanwhile, Ayane and Yui tried to comfort Iroha.

Ayane: Motogi-san, I know it's hard for you, but think that Erika and your father are probably in a better place.

Yui: I don't know what to say, I wish I had the right words to comfort you..

Ayane: Unfortunately, this month could be the next for any of us, let's enjoy life while we can...

Yui: Ayane, be careful!

Ayane bumped into a mysterious woman with a baby carriage,

Ayane: I'm so sorry, are you all right Ma'am?

Mei: I'm fine
But if I had my son in my arms something could happen to him.

Ayane: Really, I apologize most sincerely

Mei: Nothing happened, but if I hadn't put my son in the stroller he probably would have fallen and died, or he would have become disabled for the rest of his life.

Ayane: I understand, you do not need to repeat.

Mei: Are you students of "that" class?

Yui: What do you mean by that?

Mei: Only one class out of all the middle schools in Yomiyama stands out, I'm talking about 3-3 in Yomiyama North.

Ayane: Yes, we go to this class

Yui: What does it matter to you?

Mei: In fact, nothing at all.

Yui: Then why did you ask us?

Mei: Maybe out of sentiment, I don't know, maybe out of curiosity.

Ayane: Are you a survivor from this class?

Mei: Yes, but here we must end our conversation.

Ayane: Huh? Why?

Mei: I have started a new stage in my life, I no longer want to have anything to do with this city, not to mention this class.

Ayane: Will you at least tell us what year you attended?

Mei: Does it matter?

Ayane: No, but I'm asking out of pure curiosity

Mei: Fine, I am of the 1998 class.

Yui: I heard about the class of 1998, you have reportedly stopped the curse right? Even two times…

Mei: No, we only stopped it once then.

Ayane: One time, surely?

A total of 32 people passed through this class, including two who arrived in November, who died or disappeared.

Both were from the Great Clans right?

Mei: How did you know so much?

Ayane: Umm, nevermind.

Mei: You are "his" daughter right?

Ayane: What?

Mei: You have the same eyes as him, except that you are quite similar to him...

Ayane: Enough! Who are you even talking about?

Mei: Depends on the identity, do you want me to give you the real one or the fake one under which you probably know him.

Yui: Well then, me and Motogi-san are going to go now.

Ayane was left alone with Mei.

Mei married Kouichi a year ago, although for most of their relationship she did not want to go beyond being friends, she eventually agreed, she stopped believing in the return of Naoki, who went missing 9 years ago.

Mei: You are the daughter of Shion Muneyoshi, also known as Akira Kobayashi or the Vampire of Yomiyama. Correct?

Ayane: Unfortunately, I am

Mei: I don't hold any grudge against you for that, anything else you want from me?

Ayane: Would you tell me how to break this curse?

Mei: This is quite dangerous knowledge, if the wrong people found out about it, tragic things could happen.

Ayane: What do you mean?

Mei: Let's take a massacre for example

Ayane: 3 years ago, only two people survived this class!

What could be worse?

What if the curse reaches its peak and starts killing more and more people?

Mei: I would have to trust you to tell you that.

But that's impossible, I'm only here for a few months.

Ayane: Would you need a babysitter?

Mei: Probably not, but I'll think about it.

Ayane: In that case, I'll give you my number, apart from who I had the pleasure of talking to?

Mei: Mei Sakakibara, formerly Mei Misaki.
