Episode 8 Story

Shinigami’s Score

One of the school’s seven mysteries is the “Shinigami’s Score.” It is said that anyone who sees this score will be taken away by the god of death. One day, as punishment for failing grades, Kanna Kusakabe and her friends are tasked with cleaning the old school building. There, they discover a strange piece of sheet music. Though it doesn't resemble proper sheet music at all, the group laughs it off as possibly being the infamous “Shinigami’s Score.” However, the music teacher, Mr. Sugimoto, seems visibly shaken by the sight of it. Kanna, concerned about Sugimoto’s lack of energy ever since the discovery, tries to cheer him up. Then, an unexpected incident occurs—Sugimoto is attacked by a masked assailant. Could this too be the curse of the Shinigami’s Score?
