Th-they say that some lady's body
is buried under this tree...

Y-yeah, I hear that she was
the wife of some emperor
a long time ago...

Nuh-uh! I heard that she
died before the wedding!
So she wasn't his wife.

Whatever! It's s-scary,
but... I think it's true!

Yeah, Halure's flowers are so cool...
it's hard to believe something weird
like that happened...

Th-this explains what's
been making us feel so
funny about this tree...

Excuse me... You know, that
story's not actually true.

Nuh-uh... The Mayor
told it to us!

What the heck was that old
man thinking, anyway...

And what about this...?

Oh, what a lovely veil.

Where did you get that?

A white shadow, like
a ghost, dropped it!

You're not saying that the white shadow
was the ghost of the dead bride...?

N-no way...! There's
no such thing as ghosts
and curses!

It's true!

No it's not! It's not, it's not!

I'm sure that veil was just dropped
by someone in your village!

The Mayor went around and asked everybody,
but it didn't belong to anybody...

There's no way...
It's just not true, OKAY?!

This girl is really scary...

Let's get out of here...

Oh, you forgot this...

Rita...

I'm sorry...

What should I do with this...?

Throw it away.

The kids don't want
something as ominous
as that, I'm sure.

But I don't think it seems all
that ominous. I actually think
it seems more...holy...

...I think I've taken a
liking to it. Do you mind
if we take it with us?

Argh... If you get cursed
it's your own fault!

I thought you said there's no such thing as curses?

Sh-shut up, Yuri!

I wonder if there's
an explanation that's
more...holy...

It seems like there's something
more beautiful to all this...
