Hanako-san of the Toilet
Upon hearing about the rumors of Hanako-san of the Toilet, the superstition who would grant any wish in return for a price, Nene tried to summon him. She was surprised when it actually worked and was even more surprised when she realized that Hanako-san was a boy. She started off by accidentally insulting Hanako but soon won him over by calling him cool. She explained that her wish was for the boy (Minamoto Teru) she had a crush on to love her back. Hanako, despite what the rumors stated, could not do this, so instead, he pulled out a love strategy book. Nene was annoyed at this but Hanako explained that if he used magical items then she would've had to pay a larger price. She told him that she wanted her wish to come true, no matter what the price was. In response, he then told her that he didn't have any magical items on him so he couldn't do it anyways. Nene contemplated for a bit, finally deciding to go along with his suggestion, based off the idea that Hanako must've granted wishes about love all the time. Hanako chose to focus on Method 78 of the book, titles "capatilize on your special abilities."

Nene and Hanako then headed to the garden as one of her "special abilities" was gardening. At first, Hanako was disgusted. Nene revealed that she started gardening, as well as cooking and sewing, because a guy she liked for three years said he liked "feminine girls." She confessed to him around month ago, only to be rejected and insulted. Despite saying that she was over him, the way Nene acted said otherwise. She quickly covered it up by saying that she liked someone else and would make her previous crush regret rejecting her by getting together with someone great like Minamoto Teru. Hanako then told her that that meant that basically anyone would do for her, which she cheerfully denied, saying that Teru was the only one for her. However, he pointed out that she didn't seem to know much about him. Hanako asked her whether or not she even knew Teru's first name, a question in which Nene avoided.

Hanako gave her a heart-shaped card and, telling her to write a thank-you note to Teru for picking up her pencil case and to leave him a few of the things she grew, thinking that they would be flowers or something of the sort. Following up the next day, Teru walked into his class, which was making a huge commotion. They were all crowded around his desk where Nene had placed the note and her "gift", which turned out to be vegetables. Seeing Teru's friends making fun of her gift, her spirit sank, but she still listened along to Hanako's other ideas. The next attempt they try is for Hanako to steal Teru's button and for Nene to sew it back on, however Teru gets surrounded by other people trying to give him their buttons. Nene then makes a character bento for him, only to go overboard and for it to turn out terrifying. Another attempt, although being in no way linked to her abilities, is for Nene to run around a corner and "accidentally" bump into Teru, this fails as she accidentally runs into Kou walking next to him.

As all these fails, Nene tries to ask Hanako for a quicker way. He suggests for her to just confess to Teru. When she reacts by telling him that that's impossible, he slips and reveals that he's new at this. Hanako tries to prove that he's not by trying to find "unpure items" and in the process accidentally drops a bag of mermaid scales. She asks him to explain what they are and Hanako replies that they're for matchmaking. He then panics and tries to get her to give them back only for Nene to put one in her mouth and threaten to swallow it. Hanako explains what they are and that when two people ingest scales from the same mermaid they will be cursed yet bound together. Nene proceeds to swallow it. He panics again and tries to explain that she'll be cursed. She states that she doesn't care if she's cursed if she'll be with Teru. She storms away, believing that Hanako lied to her.

Nene finds Teru being confessed to by another girl and him turning her down as he has liked someone for a while and doesn't want to be with anyone else. Nene thinks she's lost all hope until she remembers about the scales. She is about to run towards him when she becomes covered in scales and loses consciousness. She sees herself falling through a sea of thoughts about how much she had invested in the wrong things and how selfish she had been.

She regains consciousness to the sound of Hanako's voice. She is confused as to why she is surrounded by water until she looks in the mirror she is being held in front of and realizes that she's become a fish. Hanako reveals that this is the Mermaid's curse and that having someone else swallow the scale only splits the fish between you and that it's only for "matchmaking" as people who share the same curse are bonded together. Nene reflects on how she really felt about Teru, she didn't like him, she just wanted romance, not caring who it's with.

She hears a voice coming from underneath the classroom when the floor opens up and reveals a fish with a human face (the mermaid) trying to make Nene her servant. She watches Hanako and the mermaid fight, Hanako pulls out a knife and easily defeats her.

Hanako offers to eat the other scale and humanize Nene as her true wish ( again with a consequence). Nene begs him to turn her human again. Hanako eats the scale saying that she'll have to pay him back with her body. He moves on top of her, implying something sexual, when he states that he'll just be taking her physical labor. He teases her for taking it dirtily only for her to push him away and being surprised when she realizes she can touch him now. He flirts with her, saying that being bound to someone is the same as being with someone, and points out the newly appeared scales on her arms, saying that they'll go away if she dries them.

The Faeries (Mokke)
Where do things go when they have been forgotten? Do they fade out of existance? No. Those things... they are still with us...even now. Have you heard the rumors of the faeries?

Nene is cleaning the bathroom stall with Hanako-kun at the end of the day against her will. After a lot of hard work, Nene starts begging Hanako to let her go home. Hanako denies Nene as Nene reveals how hard she has been working this past week, cleaning almost all of the bathrooms in the whole school.

When asked why Nene wanted to leave, Nene got very excited. "A boy asked me out on a date!" she says. Hearing this, Hanako felt a bit of disbelief and questions her further. Nene told Hanako that they would be organizing papers together, but the boy had to leave halfway, leaving her to organize them herself.

Hanako knew that Nene was being taken advantage of so he told Nene to stay and help him clean the bathroom. Nene refused, saying that she'd "rather organize papers by herself than clean toilets." Hanako then threatens to turn her back into a fish.

The next day...

Nene is in class and complaining about cleaning toilets, when the teacher calls on her to answer a question. Nene looks back to the books on her desk and with a shock, realizes they are missing! She also realizes that the pin on her dress is missing as well! Nene was in a state of panic.

Later, Nene asks Aoi about what happened. Aoi replied that Nene might have been a victim of the faeries.

"Have you ever lost something you were keeping a close eye on?" "Or had something vanish right when you needed it?"

"...Then, you have been a victim of the faeries."

"But you must not look at them." "Because if you do..."

"They will take your life."

And lately, things have been going missing.

Nene noticed a lot of things that should have been there were gone, such as the locker doors, lunch boxes, and Akane's hanitaro.

Aoi accidentally spilled water on Nene, causing Nene's scales to appear. Nene ran all the way to the old building so that no one would notice her scales.

Nene looked for something to dry off with. After looking around, she saw a clean towel on the ground. Picking up the towel to dry off, she noticed a lunchbox and Akane's hanitaro. Following a trail of missing items, Nene found herself in front of the reference room.

Peeking through the door of the reference room, Nene spotted them.

The faeries.

The faeries were just about to attack Nene, when Nene heard a familiar voice...

"Sic' em, HakuJodai!"

Hanako attacked the faeries forcing them to split apart. Hanako then scolds Nene for getting herself into trouble. "You really need to be careful, you know," he says.

Hanako pointed to the (now split up) faeries and introduces them as 'Mokke'. Hanako told Nene that supernaturals had to obey their designated rumors or disappear from the near shore (the world of the living).

Hanako hires Nene to change the rumors and keep the Mokke from killing people.

Nene asks if that means that she would be graduating from toilet duty.

Hanako says no, but tells Nene that he always looks forward to her visits.

"...It's like...Having a friend."

Hearing this, Nene decides to call Hanako "Hanako-kun" to show that they are indeed friends.

Hanako asked Nene if she had decided on a rumor to spread.

Nene smiled.

"Have you ever lost something you were keeping a close eye on?" "Or had something vanish right when you needed it?"

"...Then, you have been a victim of the faeries."

"But you must not look at them." "Because if you do..."

"They will take your life."

"But..."

"The faeries have a weakness."

"It is said that they will let you live if you carry around candy,"

"Taking the candy instead."

The Boy Exorcist
Nene was talking to Hanako about the premiere of "Castle in the Sky" and wishing for a hot guy to fall from the sky and fall in love with her. The hot guy would vanquish the evil spirit keeping Nene captive (Hanako) and take her for his wife~...

If only...

Hanako got a little upset when he heard Nene say this, reminding her that she didn't need a fairy tale prince, she had him.

Suddenly, Nene and Hanako heard a voice from above.

"That's far enough!"

The Misaki Stairs Arc
Nene is seen watering flower with Aoi while thinking about Hanako expression when saying she can be friend with a killer, and at that moment, Aoi calls her and tell her the rumors of The Misaki Stairs

"...Have you heard?

There is a rule regarding that staircase that you must never break. You must never set foot on the fourth step. Why? Because...

...you will be taken to the other side."

Afraid because all rumors that Aoi tells her come true, suddenly Aoi got called by her homeroom teacher to art room, that is right in front of The Misaki Stairs. the next day, Nene saw that Aoi chair and flower that she's been take care of disappeared, Aoi had also disappeared.

Nene immediately asked the homeroom teacher about this, and answered that no one knew who Aoi was, hearing this, Nene came out of her class and called Aoi's family, however, they also did not know who Aoi was, Nene complained about this to Hanako, and go to The Misaki Stairs with Hanako and Kou

after entering The Misaki Stairs boundary, they received a call to find Misaki's left hand to be able to open the door to the next stairs, they continued to take the call and continued to search for parts of Misaki's body, in order to reach the highest part of The Misaki Stairs that Hanako think as the innermost part to break The Misaki Stairs Yorishiro.

After they reach the highest part of The Misaki Stairs they meet the body parts that they collect became one, and a beautiful woman who self-assumed herself as "Misaki" she rush up to the body parts that Nene collect and describe it as a wonderful body,

The 4PM Bookstacks Arc
"So you're interested in the seven mysteries?" Asked a mysterious girl to Nene. "Ehe... W-well something like that." Nene answered. When the girl saw one of the books that Nene brought and said Hanako, of the girls toilet, how surprised Nene was when she said that Hanako was like a cat, capricious, selfish, and childish. Nene is confused because this woman knows Hanako even though Hanako is a ghost and Nene thinks Hanako has never been wanted her to baby him. Nene thinks this girl is Hanako's girlfriend because she remembers the same situation in the manga she had read. The girl told Nene to better go to school mystery number 5 if want to know more about Hanako, then the girl left Nene. Nene pursued the girl, but was hit by someone and Nene lost track of the mysterious girl. The next day... Nene asks Aoi about 5th of 7 school mysteries, Aoi replies she knows about 5th of 7 school mysteries and Nene asks about the rumor. Aoi answered that school mystery number 5 is The 4PM Bookstacks. "In this school's library, there's a special storeroom you can only enter at 4PM, the room is full of books with people's names. Each of these books contains a record of that person's life at this school. Past, present, and future it's all written in the book...!" "It's all recorded..." Nene said "Even things that haven't happened yet. Makes you curious doesn't it?" Aoi said "And maybe I wanna read other people's books too!" Aoi said Nene thinks maybe that girl's intention is that she should look for Hanako's book. Aoi asks how about Nene and Nene answers maybe she will also read other people's books. Aoi said of course because we want all about the boys we like. "But... If you do go to The 4PM Bookstacks you have to be careful." "Careful?" ""There are three kinds of books in the bookstacks- white, black, and red." "The white ones have the records of people who are alive, the black ones are records of people who have died." "And those two kinds are okay, ...but the red books...! Those are the ones you should never, ever read."
