The PK Festival is in a month. Let's decide what we're gonna do for it!
The PK Festival is our school festival, held every fall.
- As you can tell by my face, I'm really excited for it. - Why don't we sell yakisoba? That's pretty standard.
Yakisoba, huh?
Hold on a sec! My club is going to do something too.
Same here, with my pop music club.
Oh, I see. Then what should we do?
Why don't we put up a display? That way, we'll be free the day of the festival.
Good idea! Let's stay after school every day to put something together for it!
Sorry, but I have a club after school, so that won't work for me.
Um, I have work after school, so I can't do it either.
What's that in your hand?
What? Oh, this?
I found it in the schoolyard.
It looked funny, so I took it with me.
Hey, why don't we put that rock up on display?
- Nice idea! - That sounds good!
We'll show off all the unusual looking rocks we find!
Then we don't have to do anything after school or on the day of the festival!
Yeah!
Okay, Hairo! Let's do it!
So our class will have an Unusual Rocks Found in the Schoolyard Exhibition. Agreed?
Agreed!
Not! We only get to experience the school festival three times in high school!
Do you think such a half-hearted effort will live up to the occasion?!
Show some passion, guys!
Sheesh. He's gone and got me fired up.
Guess we're gonna be busy, huh?
Can't hurt to try, right?
Yeah.
What's with this farce?
All right! Let's give it everything we've got!
- Yeah! - The rock idea was fine. Good grief.
I have a suggestion of my own.
What is it?
How about we make 1,000 paper cranes... per person?
Wouldn't 36,000 paper cranes be a spectacular sight?
No, let's round it up to a nice, round 50,000!
1,389 cranes per person. One month should be enough time!
Seems even Hairo can't convince them to do that.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea, but...
Oh, I wanna do a restaurant!
Yeah, same. It'd be more memorable than an exhibition.
I see. I thought my idea was pretty good...
It was if you're into torture.
I'll just write it down for now.
He's still writing it down...
Do we have any other suggestions?
I do! I do!
- 1,000 paper cranes?! Don't give me that crap! - Oh, Takahashi? What is it?
I'm kinda embarrassed to say this...
but what about a maid cafe?
Takahashi, we did that last week.
Hmm... It's not a bad idea, but...
Oh, how about this then?
A cross-dressing maid cafe.
We'll have the guys dress as maids!
That sounds fun!
What? I have to shave my legs? No way!
- You don't look very upset about it. - I don't know how to wear a bra, either!
The girls will let us borrow their makeup and stuff, right?
You stay in the kitchen and make omelet rice!
Any other suggestions?
You're not writing it down?!
Any suggestions, Teruhashi?
Hey, why are you asking me?
Well... Um...
How about a planetarium?
They have those projectors you can use at home these days!
That's our Teruhashi! What a wonderful idea!
It's decided!
- It's not a bad idea, but isn't the machine doing all the work? - Agreed!
Hey! Can you really give it everything—
Shut up.
We've decided to do the planetarium.
- We're doing the planetarium. It's that simple. - Looks like Hairo lost the popularity contest to Teruhashi.
The planetarium is the only option.
I object!
Mera! You have an idea?
I think we should have a barbecue, because that's my favorite kind of food!
Mera, you know you can't eat it, right?
A barbecue is quite costly too.
How about we combine the planetarium and barbecue?
It'll be like having a barbecue under the starry sky.
Ah, that works! Any other suggestions?
Write it down! If it works, write it down!
Any ideas, Kuboyasu?
Say what? Err, you mean me?
Maybe participating in the school festival like a civvie wouldn't be so bad.
How about a haunted house? We can put on zombie makeup and stuff.
Whoa, that's stupid. You—
He doesn't need the makeup.
You all seem ignorant of how terrifying zombies are.
Oh, Kaidou is here?
Zombies can't be scary. They're too slow.
Maybe so, but with an army of them, running away would be impossible.
Slowly but surely they'll work to corner you,
and then suddenly they'll stop slacking and start attacking!
Stop slacking?
Attacking?
Oh, that's just a lame rhyme!
Whoa! That's so stupid!
- What? I-It's not like that! That wasn't a joke! - The TV show I want to watch is about to start...
How about a haunted house?
No, planetarium!
- This could take a while. Guess it's up to me. - Barbecue!
Cross-dressing maid cafe!
Calm down, everyone!
- If we can't agree, we should just go with the 50,000— - I'll settle things right now.
Wh-Wh-What happened?!
Th-This is...
A meteorite!
What?! Seriously?!
- I pulled a meteor here with psychokinesis. - I've never seen one before.
- This should settle it. - Wow, this must be worth a lot of money!
Why don't we put this on display?!
That's a sick idea!
Good job.
But isn't it kinda sad to just have one single meteorite?
That's it!
Class 3 will do a Meteorite and Unusual Rocks Found in the Schoolyard Exhibition!
Yeah!
Have you picked a rock to display yet, Hairo?
Well, I found some notable ones, but they aren't that exciting.
Really, you found those?!
- I thought it was a stupid idea, but they're surprisingly into it. - Look, Saiki! This is dark matter!
Saiki!
'Sup!
Toritsuka?
The school festival is coming up soon, yeah? What's your class doing?
We're doing a cross-dressing maid cafe. It's totally not my thing.
We almost did the same thing.
So Saiki, would you like to play in our band for the school festival?
Get lost.
I'll introduce the band! Music Room
First is Takeru, on guitar. Guitar
Takayuki, on bass. Bass
Shinya, on drums. Drums
And I'm Reita, on vocals. Vocals
The four of us are Eternal Diamond Veronica! Eternal Diamond Veronica
Good to know.
You should play with us!
Not a chance.
Why not?! Do you not like this kind of music?
I don't like this kind of human being.
And don't you have enough people already?
Well, I wouldn't say we have enough, exactly...
No one can play an instrument?
Takeru was on vocals, but since he dislocates his jaw every time he sings,
we decided to put him on guitar instead.
Takayuki can't even tell a guitar from a bass.
And Shinya's only played drums before in music video games.
What are you, the fumbling four?
I can't play any instruments, either.
But that's not a problem, since I'm the singer.
No, your problem is your attitude.
What made you decide to form a band when no one can even play?
To get girls! What other reason could we have?!
With how he says that outright, he's already a real rock star.
But we're just not getting any better,
so I was hoping that you could help us out with your powers.
You're even stupider than I gave you credit for.
You actually thought I'd help you with this?
Man, that school trip sure was crazy.
I bet it would've been a disaster if I hadn't woken Saiki up.
Are you threatening me?
Do you have a death wish?
J-Just talking to myself.
Still, he's got a point, and I hate to be in someone's debt.
So... this is our new bandmate, Psi.
That was amazing!
- You're super good! - Are you a pro or something?
You pass.
By your standards, you didn't.
But wow, you can do anything, Saik—I mean, Psi, huh?
Obviously. But I'm not going to join your band.
Huh? What? You want me to play?
I came to give you a lesson.
Well, I can't. I don't even know any chords or stuff.
Just play it.
Wow! He's actually good!
Yesterday, he sounded like the cries of dying cicadas!
Whoa! What's this pleasant sound that hits me in my gut?!
Incredible! Yesterday, his playing was as annoying as a fly buzzing around your ears!
Whoa! What dynamic sound!
Yesterday, he sounded like your mom hitting a pan with a ladle!
Incredible! That's a rocketing falsetto!
Yesterday, he sounded like a half-clogged drain finally being flushed out!
Let's play together!
Yeah!
Whoa! That was perfect!
Incredible! That was a dead-on impression of Natsuki Hanae!
I could see his red glasses!
That was amazing, Psi!
Huh? Where'd Psi go?
It doesn't matter.
If we're this good now, we don't need his help.
Yeah, you're right, Hanae.
Oh, cut it out!
But man, Saiki is incredible.
He was so good, and he made us sound way better too.
That's a psychic for you!
What are you talking about, Hanae?
I only made it sound like I could play well.
The music I really made was terrible.
I just used telepathy to broadcast the sound each player saw themselves making to everyone else.
If you try one more time, you'll know right away you can't play anymore.
Toritsuka... You may owe me something, but I don't owe you anything.
You should focus on practicing as much as you can in the time left.
Now, it's time to practice...
...my autograph!
You need to practice that?!
Hey, we really should practice more. Right, Take—
We were totally perfect earlier. We'll be fine.
Yeah. I wanna save the full experience for the live show.
Okay, fine.
After that, Toritsuka and his band never practiced even once after that.
And now it's the day of the school festival.
We're gonna become legends!
Yeah!
Read your opponent's mind! What goes in the box?
Pal! Let's go get some [????]!
31st Annual Festival
Okay, guys! Have you finished placing your rocks? Rocks Found in the Schoolyard Exhibition A Meteorite
- Evil-Sealing Rock - My rock is no ordinary rock.
It's a rock with magical evil-sealing powers.
Mine is better.
Don't take a religious icon.
Look how cute mine is! It's shaped like a heart!
Wow, it really is!
You can see it starting to crack though.
Yours is pretty too, Kokomi!
Thanks!
Kuboyasu, what's that?
Oh, it looked like someone hid this behind the school.
Hey, that stinks of a crime.
Great! This turned out pretty good.
Everyone did a fine job looking for rocks!
I doubt I could find a rock like that no matter how hard I looked.
I heard that the class with the best attraction will receive an award.
Let's try our best to win it!
We'll make the PK Festival a success!
Yeah!
Dismissed!
What was that huddle for?
Well then, let's enjoy this brief respite while we can.
Oh, Teruhashi! Would you like to go check things out with us?
What? With Saiki?! I do want to go, but...
Sorry, but there's somewhere I have to be this morning.
Contestant #5. I'm Moriko Utsukushino from Year 1, Class 1.
- I like to visit art museums, and... - They're holding a Miss PK Contest?
Teruhashi is obviously gonna win. Don't you think?
What? Yeah, I guess.
Why are you here too?
But that was the last contestant.
That concludes the contestants' introductions.
Hey, you're right.
So, Principal, what did you think?
Regardless of their appearances, they're all my precious students, and so it was—
Well then, let's hear from someone else.
What did you think, Miss PK Teruhashi?
They're all so wonderful. It's hard to say who's the loveliest.
Wanna take off?
Yeah.
A haunted house, a cafe, bean bag toss,
a haunted house, a cafe, a haunted house...
Whoa, there are all sorts of things!
Yeah, all sorts of haunted houses and cafes.
Wanna try going into one?
Good grief. Haunted houses are nothing but a nuisance for me.
Hey, let's eat something.
Cafes too. The food is all made by high school students, after all. We have coffee jelly!!
Hey, let's go to that cafe!
Yes, let's go!
That haunted house cafe!
Don't combine them!
No, I don't want to look at ghosts while drinking coffee.
Exactly.
That was a snoozefest!
They were all, "I'm gonna get you." What a joke!
PK's stuff is crap.
Who're those guys?
Probably from another school.
Let's go in here next.
Let's hit all the haunted houses.
Actually, I'm gonna go check this one out.
I get a kick out of scary stuff.
I think this one's a real winner.
Whoa! They're really screaming. Just how scary is that place?
That is indeed a room of annihilation.
How about we go in here then?
It's so dark, I can't see anything.
I can see everything clearly, even the guy waiting to ambush us.
Hey, get going.
Oh? But you walked in first.
Very well.
I'll lead you timid mice into the light. Follow me.
I don't like scary stuff.
Don't yell at that.
Now we shall march into the light!
That's the entrance.
What's with you? You keep shouting in a weird voice.
We're going on ahead.
Wait! Don't leave me here!
This way?
I'll scare them so bad, their eyes will roll back!
Whoa! This is so realistic!
Yeah, because it is real.
Even I'd faint if I suddenly saw that face of yours up close in the dark!
Oh? Really?
What are we gonna do?! If someone else comes—
Whoa! It's pitch black!
Crap, we need to hide this guy!
Look! We can handle this ourselves!
Oh, Mom.
- One Nendou... two Nendous... - You should've told me you were coming.
I'm just stopping by while I'm on break.
We happened to run into Nendou's mother and became friends!
This is one friendship I wish you wouldn't make.
Well, now that I've seen your class's attraction, I'm going home.
Good luck with the haunted house.
Huh? We're not doing a haunted house.
What? You aren't?
Our class is showing off rocks we found in the schoolyard.
I'll go wash my face.
Good grief. This is why I hate school events.
Lots of minor characters keep showing up and causing trouble for me.
Whatever. I'm finally alone now. I think I'll just go home.
What the heck are these?
What do you think, pal?
Give those back, idiot.
Shit!
I wear those glasses every day to block a certain power of mine.
When I directly look at living beings,
they turn to stone.
I wear those glasses every day
to stop me from turning whatever living beings I look at directly to stone.
But now, those glasses are broken
and the world's most tasteless stone statue has been created.
To fix the situation...
The first thing I can think of is to turn time back by one day,
but that won't work.
Petrification is the same as death.
Even turning back time won't bring the dead back to life.
Well, they'll go back to normal after a day passes.
Although they won't have any memory of the event,
they'll naturally be suspicious about their missing day.
Oh well. I'll eat ramen.
But with Nendou, I doubt I have to worry about that.
The problem is...
Kusuo!
What did you do?
Dad? Good timing.
- Did you carve this? - Are you kidding me?!
Just give me your glasses!
Hey! What're you doing?!
Okay, now that power is blocked.
Anything would do as long as it covers my eyes.
Give me back my glasses.
Why? Your eyes will just turn into threes, right?
- I'm basically blind without my glasses! - Fours?!
I see. That's why Nendou turned to stone, huh?
But what're you gonna do, Kusuo?
Nendou's mom is waiting for him outside.
You're talking to Nendou. Don't you dare make that mistake ever again.
- I guess I have no choice. I'll have to teleport him ho— - Are you listening, Kusuo?!
Kusuo... Look after your mother, okay?
Hello, is this the police?
I've killed someone.
Calm down. You don't have to go to the police. It's fine.
What?! Really?!
In this case, I can fix things by turning back time.
What was that noise?
This isn't good. Nendou's mother is going to come in.
Dad! Go hold the door!
It's all oka—Ugh!
- What happened, you guys?! - That wasn't okay at all!
What? What? Riki?
This is amazing! So this is your class's rock display?!
It looks just like my son!
Well, of course.
She'd never imagine that her son turned to stone.
Riki?
Oh, Riki? Where did he go?
Um... Probably the restroom?
That's where we are.
Uh, he said something just came up.
What's with that boy?
Okay, I'll help you out.
You want it in your classroom, yes?
Now, let's go.
H-Holy crap...
But why Nendou?
How did they carve this?!
Things have gotten worse.
This is obviously beyond the capabilities of any high school student.
People will think something's up.
And so...
Oh? What's this?
Principal!
What an incredibly elaborate stone statue! Is it a gorilla?
Very close, but not quite.
I'm so moved! And so...
The Best Class Attraction Award goes to Class 3!
Whoa! So this won the class award, huh?
Hey, don't push!
It's become the showpiece.
This isn't good, Kusuo.
Can't you steal it and teleport it out?
With this crowd? Not an option.
Then what if we just break it?
You can fix it like you did earlier.
I can only turn back time once per day per target.
What?
Obviously there are limits,
otherwise I could do it as many times as I wanted.
Then what if it breaks again?
It'll be the end of him.
Oops, one of his fingers broke.
Oh, it was his sleeve.
Hey, be careful.
This is really hard!
Wow, his ears are super ugly!
Don't touch!
- What's with this guy?! - Some weird middle-aged man is shouting!
- Keep out! - He's so shady!
Someone, go get the teachers!
Don't touch me! Hey! Come with me!
Stop struggling!
Don't mention my name, no matter what. Don't touch me!
Fine. I'll make Nendou's safety my top priority.
After all, if he dies, it will be about 2% my fault.
Hey, get off!
Yuuta!
Take this, Baron Cola!
Stop it, Yuuta! Hey!
What're you doing? Get off, now!
Oh, Cyborg Cider-man No. 2!
Look! I've captured Baron Cola!
No, that's a gorilla. Get off.
I'm fine! I'm holding on to his ear, so I won't fall!
But the ear will!
So?! Do you give up?!
Whoa! It's gonna fall!
Hey, Hairo.
Did you hear? Our class got the Best Class Attraction Award!
I just learned about it too.
I know we did that huddle, but honestly, I didn't think we had a chance.
The principal really liked the Nendou statue, but did we even have something like that?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.
Saiki!
- Are you okay, Saiki?! - Saiki threw himself in the way to catch it!
It's still in one piece!
Good grief. It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to use my powers.
Are you okay, Sai—
Oh, did you get new glasses?
We'll move it right away. Oh, you got new glasses?
Is now the time for that?
This is bad though.
Even my classmates have seen the statue now.
That stone statue is incredible. Who made it?
Now, how do I get—
Isn't it obvious?
It was Saiki!
Who else but the creator would risk life and limb to save a stone statue?
What? Saiki made that?!
Yeah, he is pretty close to Nendou, isn't he?
Maybe a little too close. Is there more than friendship going on here?
I'm a bit worried about Saiki's mental state.
Maybe I should have just let it break.
- Pal! Let's go get some [????]! - What goes in the box?
- ramen! - I guess you didn't need telepathy for that.
Man, this is only a school festival wrap-up party.
Why didn't they pick a place nearby?
Why bother to have one at all?
Hey, are we there yet?
Almost. This map is a little hard to follow,
but once we turn this corner, the restaurant—
Isn't here.
Show more enthusiasm! Show more—
Where are you, Kaidou? Everyone else is already here.
We got a little lost. Have you guys already started?
No, we're waiting on you guys.
Oh, I'd like a Japanese-style hamburg steak with autumn mushrooms.
But you just ordered.
Well, since we're a big group, I thought we should order early.
Just tell me where it is. I think we followed the map, but...
No, we didn't.
We turned at the first light instead of the second one,
though I didn't tell him that.
I don't want to go to this party.
I'd rather we stayed lost the entire time.
Looks like we went the wrong way. Let's go back.
The wild party is just around the corner!
Wow, your sense of direction is total crap.
Freeloaders don't get to complain!
After turning left here, we'll be—
At the wrong place.
It appears we've been attacked by a new Stand power!
Or not.
What?! You got us lost again?
No, this can't be right!
Kaidou seems genuinely bad with directions.
After turning at the second light, we had to turn right.
In other words, the restaurant we're trying to reach is right behind us, but...
Then why don't you lead the way?!
- Fine! Give me the phone. - I'll just keep that to myself.
Give up on him. He can't tell left from right.
Tell me how to get there.
Where are you right now? Do you see anything nearby?
Yeah, I see a bluish-white tower.
Is there anything else?
Do you see a restaurant named Todoroki around there?
I see a sign with three cars.
Three cars?
Right, three cars. Do you know about it?
Doesn't ring any bells.
That's Todoroki.
Hairo wants to talk to you.
As I thought. You need assistance from The Jet-Black Wings!
What?
But I'm the one helping you.
You guys haven't started yet, right?
No, not yet. We're all waiting for you guys.
Cheers!
I think I heard cheers.
Oh, that's the people next to us!
Could you go back to some place you know?
We're back at the train station.
Okay, listen carefully.
You should see a hospital from there.
Yeah, I see it.
Good. Go straight towards it.
Okay, now what?
And he's already lost.
He got the very first step wrong.
If you keep going down that street, you'll see a post. Turn left there.
A post?
- Oh, host! - Try again.
- Hey, Hairo, you meant host club, right? - Hairo! What're you doing? Let's play bingo!
- Sorry, I'm on the phone right now. - I almost thought you said post!
Oh, sorry. Did you find it?
Yeah. And you haven't started the party yet, right?
What? O-Of course not. Did you turn left yet?
Yeah, we did, but is this really the right way?
There should be a school around. Do you see one?
A school?! There's no way there'd be a school here!
You would have a genocide on your hands!
What? That's weird...
No, there's one over there.
This is it?!
No! This can't be a school!
Then why don't you ask Hairo?
By any chance, the name of the school wouldn't be...
- ...Three Thumbs Up Girls Academy, would it? - Next is sixteen!
Bingo! Bingo, bingo!
Apparently, it is.
Is there really a restaurant on a street like this?!
Oh, sorry. Did you turn at the school?
Yeah, we did!
Keep going straight, and you'll make it here.
I'm gonna hang up, okay? I'll be waiting inside.
Oh, so this is the restaurant Todoroki.
Must've taken a wrong turn.
Do you mean you, or them in their lives?
Hey, what're you brats over there looking at?! Get lost!
S-Sorry! We'll be getting lost right away!
Hey, we're customers. Don't give us that attitude!
Huh?! What'd you just say, you punk?!
What did you just say, you bastard?!
Stop it!
Show us to the gang already!
Class 2-3, that is.
Fine. We'll take you to our place of business!
No! Please let us go!
Guess I can bail them out now.
Please forgive us!
Hey, you guys made it!
What? Seriously, we were at the right place?
Yeah, no. We teleported here.
I wasn't going to help you, but the situation was looking like a bother.
And there was one other thing.
I couldn't help but admire your persistence.
Now that we're finally here...
Let's get started!
- What else?! The wrap-up party! - What?
Hey, where's the menu? Oh, are we playing bingo first?
Oh. Right.
But...
Okay, guys! I know the party's really hopping,
but it's time to wrap things up!
...the party is already over.
- What? - Good party! See you at school!
Who wants to go to the wrap-up after-party?!
Um, I'll pass.
- I've got a curfew, so... - Just thirty minutes, okay?
I somehow managed to get through another school event.
"What can go wrong, will go wrong" is like PK Academy's de facto motto.
Next time on The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. the anime...
What? Christmas and New Year’s? Didn't we already do this?
