Chapter 6

Spook 6: The Misaki Stairs Part 3 (第六の怪：ミサキ階段　其の三)  is the sixth chapter of AidaIro's Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun.

Summary
Hanako saves Nene just in time, temporarily destroying the scissors with a kick. Picking Nene up, he and Kou make a run for the door. The Mokke run over, carrying the three arms that they found earlier, and Kou throws one of the arms into the shrine (later shown to be the muscled wooden arm he'd originally found).

The door opens, closing behind them after they pass through. They see similar stairs and dolls, and another phone rings. Hanako answers, and Yako tells them to look for her left arm. Hanako interrupts and asks if she remembers him, but Yako does not directly respond. The search's time limit starts again. When Kou asks about weaknesses, Hanako explains about the yorishiro that provide power to the Seven Mysteries, which would be in the deepest part of this boundary, most likely at the top of the stairs.

They continue searching for the body parts as instructed: right leg, left leg, torso, eyes, and ears. Finally, they find the last part, and the door opens, though Nene is bothered about something. If the caller wanted them to assemble a body because she was unable to do anything without one, then who had been the person on the phone?

Stepping into the topmost level, Nene observes that it does feel different from before, but realises that the drop from the edges appear bottomless. They then spot a grotesque figure seated in a chair, assembled from the body parts they assembled earlier. Someone approaches quickly, followed by a voice that Nene recognises from the phone, and Yako reveals herself as a beautiful woman. She runs up to the figure, apparently pleased with it. Calling the figure "Misaki", Yako animates it by breathing onto it, but it swiftly collapses and falls apart.

Yako is disappointed by the failure. When Nene asks about the other students, Yako answers that they're all around them. A hill of giant scissors and life-sized faceless dolls is revealed behind the chair where the figure had sat, and more body parts are scattered around in the water. Spotting Aoi amongst them, Nene runs over and tries to wake her up, but only causes Aoi's doll-like head to fall out its socket. Yako declares that she will rip them apart as the rumour says, and sends a pair of scissors towards Nene, but Kou stops the blade with his right arm.

However, this causes it to turn into a doll's arm, as the result of getting cut by the scissors. Kou tells Hanako to transform with the cape (like he did in the fight against Kou from Chapter 3) but Hanako says he cannot use the hakujoudai's powers within Yako's territory without her permission, unless her yorishiro is destroyed.

Instead, Hanako tells Kou to keep Yako occupied for a while before walking over to Nene, who's hugging Aoi's headless doll body. Holding out a hand, Hanako asks Nene to stand up, but she doesn't respond. Hanako then asks if she's giving up even though Aoi isn't dead yet. At Nene's surprise, Hanako explains birth and death are both impossible here at the boundary, and so those who do not give up are the strongest. Wiping away her tears, Nene takes his hand and says that that she'll do anything.

Hanako grins unsettlingly. He's then shown tying a rope around Nene as she stands at the very edge. Hanako explains that the yorishiro isn't here, so the deepest part of the boundary may be at the very bottom instead of the top. Holding on to the rope with one hand, Hanako pushes Nene off the edge with the other, cheerfully saying that he's counting on her.
