It's autumn at Kamome Academy, and the annual school festival is underway. While Nene and her friends are busy with preparations, a select few begin carrying out their plot in the shadows—they have their eyes set on the yorishiro of No. 1 of the seven School Mysteries, the Clock Keeper. When supernaturals burst onto the scene, what was supposed to be a fun school festival turns into an unexpected crisis...!
The big clock that governs Kamome Academy’s time is destroyed— a sin the Clock Keepers won’t easily forgive. When Akane is called upon to fulfill his duty, he sheds his identity as student council vice president and steps into the role of the lowliest Clock Keeper—the guardian of the present. With all three judges in attendance, a trial is to be held in the Clock Keepers’ boundary. Who is guilty? How shall they be punished? And…what must the guardians of time do to set things right?
By the Clock Keepers’ decree, the past has been rewritten, creating a new future…and suddenly, Nene finds herself in a world very different from the one she knew. The relationships between her friends are all mixed-up, her love life is in shambles, and Hanako-kun is nowhere to be found! Meanwhile, a strange rumor spreads through Kamome Academy about a ritual to summon a wish-granting supernatural. But is this little boy just lonely and looking for a playmate, or is there something more sinister lurking within him…?
In an altered world, Kou and Mitsuba are drawn to the Red House, seeking answers to the memories they’ve been glimpsing of a different past. Nene and her gang follow close behind, looking to discover the fate of the Yugi brothers in this timeline. But nothing can prepare them for who they find dwelling inside—a grown-up Hanako-kun?! Nene is overjoyed, but it’s too early to celebrate. This Hanako-kun is nothing like the boy they remember, and his presence may only spell doom for the Red House’s visitors…
