Chapter 5

Spook 5: The Misaki Stairs Part 2 (ミサキ　の) is the fifth chapter of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun by AidaIro.

Summary
Hanako says that the missing students should be somewhere in this boundary. Looking around, Nene thinks that this really is a different world: there are many small dolls with "two" (二) covering their faces, and the ground is submerged in water up to her ankles. Seeing nobody around, Kou asks if the students have been ripped apart, but Hanako answers it wouldn't be this quick. As the Seven Mysteries who control the school's supernaturals, they need to be known by as many people as possible, and being scary threats will make them more memorable. Even so, he says No.2 has gone overboard and must be stopped.

A rotary phone then rings, and Nene answers it. Yako (claiming to be Misaki) says that she once taught at the schoolhouse at the top of these stairs, but she was killed and ripped apart. She asks them to search for her body, starting with her right arm with which she'd written on the blackboard, and tells them to hurry. Yako hangs up, and a large hourglass flips over. Kou encourages Nene to ignore it as a prank call, but Hanako says not to, since the Seven Mysteries are the strongest within the territories they control (like the toilet, for him). Nene suggests searching for the arm first. Hanako looks around and finds an erotic magazine which he shows Kou, who tries to make him close it. Ignoring the commotion, Nene begins searching, but can't help imagining her popularity if she were that attractive.

Finally, they each find an arm: a muscled wooden arm carving (Kou), a robot arm (Hanako), and a mannequin's right arm (Nene). Nene scolds Kou for only bringing the arm he'd liked and Hanako for not being serious, as they should be looking for a woman's arm. Hanako then points out that she looks different. Nene says she's always looked like this, but a push-up bra falls out as she strikes a pose. Hanako consoles her when she tries to cover it up.

Time runs out, and the dolls begin moving, saying it is time for class. A giant scissor suddenly appears, and Hanako dodges, pushing Nene and Kou down just in time. As they dash towards the still-closed door, a doll catches hold of Nene's foot. Hanako frantically shouts her name, and it's revealed that the scissors are now right above her.
