I think I know what you're into.
60
Yeah, you said that twice now.
61
There's only one reason someone like you would talk to me, and that's the reason you talk to me.
62
Sorry, I think you got the wrong idea.
63
I wasn't looking to be friends with you or anything like that.
64
Just forget I talked to you.
65
This is the reason!

Look!
67
Project Pegasus!

69
Wait, what?

72
They're not UFOs, they're UAPs!
73
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena!
74
I didn't ask, don't care.
75
The US military admitted UAPs exist and reformed their space force.
76
And now Japan has an aerospace defense force.
77
Don't you see everyone's gearing up for war in space?
78
Okay, bye-bye. But...
79
Hang on a sec!

86
That right there is why you got no friends!
87
There's no chance we'll ever be.
88
Sorry.
89
That was mean.
90
Here.
91
I don't believe aliens are real, but I believe ghosts are.
92
There's no such thing as ghosts.
93
What kind of jerk goes on this last set a girl when she's trying to relate to him?
94
You shouldn't have mocked the occult.
95
For your information, my grandma's a real-life medium.
96
What?
97
You ever see an exorcism?
98
It's totally insane!
99
The possessed person goes into full-on convulsions!
100
Illnesses cause convulsions too, you know.
101
You need evidence like this to prove something?
102
You ever go for a ride in a UFO with an alien before?
103
Only an idiot would jump to conclusions like that!
104
Ooh, she gave up Kentaku Kure for some kooky otaku.
105
Yeah, right?
106
She ain't even trying to hide it.
107
Get it, though.
108
I dare you to go to someplace haunted and the deal is
109
if you end up seeing a ghost you have to be my gopher Only if you go where there's UFOs, I mean UAPs and if you see an alien then you have to admit they're real and be my gopher
110
Where did you send me?
111
That place is mega creepy.
112
Why would aliens hang out here?
113
Nagi Hospital is widely known to be a UFO hotspot.
114
If you go up to the roof, you're bound to get abducted by one.
115
Wait, what do you mean abducted?
116
That's when an alien kidnaps you and does experiments on your body.
117
Hold on.
118
Have they experimented on you?
119
Of course, I think.
120
Huh?
121
Usually the people who get abducted by aliens have their memories wiped.
122
Have you seen a UFO before or not?
123
You know regressive hypnosis?
124
Oh great, dodging the question.
125
It doesn't matter if I saw one.
126
All that matters is I have proof they exist and you don't have proof they don't.
127
Ugh, shut up.
128
Anyway, you find my place yet?
129
I found it.
130
It doesn't look bad.
131
Okay, I'll start heading inside now.
132
The hell proof is no such thing as ghosts!
133
Oh, you sound scared?
134
FYI, that place is super haunted.
135
That's what folks say online.
136
I Too shy shy boy Kono shoot Kathy
137
Ghosts hate loud noises That's what folks say Too shy shy boy Online What's with this online stuff?
138
You keep saying that but have you ever seen a ghost?
139
Nope.
140
Whaaaaat?
141
Before, you sounded like you see them all the time!
142
I haven't.
143
But you totally acted like you had!
144
How can you believe in ghosts when you've never seen one?
145
That's crazy!
146
It's not crazy at all.
147
Remember?
148
I told you, my grandma's a medium.
149
She's the one who raised me.
150
Both my parents are dead.
151
Oh, I'm so sorry.
152
Don't get all sad and mopey on my account.
153
My family's weird and I'm just trying to tell you where I'm coming from.
154
Whenever I went out, I had to do this ritual pose for good luck.
155
Grandma made me hold that pose the whole way to school.
156
Course all the boys laughed at me.
157
But if I didn't do it, Grandma'd get mad and I'd feel bad about that.
158
Then the worst happened.
159
The boy I liked started making fun of me too.
160
I hated my grandma for that.
161
I told her, now the boy I like hates me because of your dumb ritual.
162
I don't remember exactly, but it was something horrible like that.
163
We didn't speak for a long time after that, and I never did the ritual again.
164
But like, I get super pissed if I find out someone's making fun of her.
165
In the end, I didn't hate the fact that the boy I liked didn't like me.
166
No. What I hated was that the boy I liked made fun of my grandma.
167
The truth is, my grandma and her being a medium were special to me.
168
And I loved that.
169
She took me in and raised me all by herself.
170
That's why I believe in what she does.
171
And that's also why I believe in ghosts, too.
172
And now it's your turn to tell me why you believe in aliens.
173
Huh?
174
I...
175
I don't think that matters.
176
Oh, don't give me that.
177
Of course it matters.
178
You don't need to have a reason to like something.
179
Yeah, I guess you don't.
180
I like this version of you, occult-kun.
181
Straight talk, no BS.
182
Huh?
183
You think so?
184
I guess it's because you're so easy to talk to.
185
I'll let you suckle my teats, boy.
186
If you let me gobble your dung...
187
No, wait, you shouldn't run!
188
Running is not good!
189
I don't believe it!
190
She's no ghost, an old lady!
191
Stop running!
192
Just keep me wearing old lady!
193
That's a bad idea!
194
Pretty sure the sound of ghosts back there?
195
I just bumped into a horny old bag lady out for a while!
196
Okay, if you're running, don't let her catch up to you!
197
Folks online say if Turtle Granny outruns you, she'll put a curse on you!
198
What happened?
199
Why are you screaming?
200
Hello?
201
Are you there?
202
This is so not good.
203
I hope when I get to him, he's not dead.
204
Alright, I'll go the other way.
205
Greetings, female human.
206
We are Serpoians.
207
We are called that because we come from the planet Serpo.
208
Aliens?
209
Do not be afraid.
210
We are a friendly species.
211
In my experience, friendly guys don't go around stripping girls naked!
212
Get on my clothes!
213
We have handled your belongings with care, as you see.
214
Oh my god, you're paying for those!
215
Get me out of this thing right now!
216
I'm going home!
217
Our species is all male, therefore we must reproduce using cloning technologies.
218
You hear me?
219
I want to leave!
220
Since we are identical, evolution does not occur, resulting in conflict being eradicated along with emotion.
221
For our species to regain reproductive functions, we require the use of your banana or...
222
What?
223
We shall have intercourse with you, after which we will extract your uterus along with your bananas for research purposes.
224
The hell you will!
225
I might have dated a loser-ass scumbag, but I'd never let him take my virginity!
226
I'm saving it for a Ken Takakura I haven't even met yet!
227
And there's no way you creepy aliens are taking it!
228
We will now use psychokinesis to control your brainwaves and arouse you.
229
How does it feel?
230
Is your body getting warmer?
231
No!
232
You are resisting our psychokinesis.
233
You have a strong will.
234
However, we shall begin.
235
No!
236
No!
237
Stop!
238
Someone with incredibly bad timing is trying to contact you.
239
I'm sorry, Miss Nancy!
240
She was a ghost!
241
Turbo Panic!
242
Go!
243
Get out of this thing!
244
Using the smartphone for teleportation is a technology we do not yet have.
245
Who are you?
246
There's something coming!
247
I can't go there too!
248
I'm gonna gobble all your ducks!
249
Dude, would you get a grip?
250
Attention, male human.
251
We did not authorize your intrusion.
252
You will either leave immediately or...
253
Give us your banana.
254
Kill me.
255
Six senses.
256
My psychokinesis cannot last...
257
Blasho?
258
You have taken his banana, you banana-y!
259
Sir Pogramatree!
260
A Colcone!
261
We have a friendly relationship with humans And have never encountered such an aggressive one before Please give us your banana Fine!
262
Take it!
263
Take whatever I have!
264
All I ever wanted was to meet an alien!
265
I never had any friends and I thought if anyone would be friends with me, it'd be aliens!
266
Ever since grade school, I've been staring up at the sky and calling out for you guys to show up! But you never did!
267
No matter how many times I called out to you, you never came!
268
There I was, bullied by kids and ignored by aliens.
269
My life thugged.
270
No one gave a crap if I was alive or dead.
271
But Miss Aya say, she's the only one who stood up for me!
272
So get your lousy hands off her!
273
I won't let anyone hurt her!
274
You hear me?
275
Do anything for her!
276
I'm turning to a monster!
277
Get him, Akul-kun!
278
Kick all their asses!
279
Fight!
280
Sorry, I don't think I can save you!
281
You barely even tried to!
282
We cannot be friends with violent humans like you.
283
And, besides, we prefer female humans to the male ones anyway.
284
I shall now commence with the arousal.
285
Release your chi.
286
I don't wanna.
287
All the other kids make fun of me because of it.
288
I look stupid.
289
No, you don't.
290
By releasing your chi, you won't ever get hurt or sick.
291
It'll also keep evil away.
292
Now, firm up the muscles in your tummy.
293
And picture your chi shooting up from the top of your head.
294
She's doing it again!
295
She's doing it again!
296
I hate it!
297
I won't do it again!
298
Momo, wait!
299
I hate you, Grandma!
300
You're a fake!
301
Why am I remembering that now?
302
I didn't hate my grandma.
303
I was just embarrassed is all.
304
Now firm up the muscles in your tummy.
305
Picture your chi shooting up.
306
Oh!
307
Ms. Ayase!
308
You never said you had psychic powers!
309
I didn't know I had them either.
310
My psychokinesis is being repelled by a greater force.
311
What happened?
312
Perhaps the female human's brainwaves were overstimulated, granting access to her chakra.
313
She's not a fake!
314
My grandma's an honest-to-god medium!
315
Thanks, Grandma!
316
Now I've got the power to take these crissons! And send them flying!
317
We're in a real UFO!
318
Where are you, Occult-kun?
319
We need to leave!
320
Ow!
321
Quit biting me, you dummy!
322
What?
323
Out of it already!
324
Turbo Granny?
325
Who the hell are you?
326
Granny's out of his body, but he's still under her curse.
327
The kid's dong is all mine.
328
And as long as I've got it, the curse ain't gonna be lifted from him.
329
I can't stay here long, so if you want it back, go to the tunnel.
330
If you wanna fight me, fight me there, you tacky little bitch!
331
Who you call it tacky, you brinkly old ghost hag?
332
Give him this pecker back!
333
Holy crap, if we don't get off this thing, we're dead!
334
Would you get up already?
335
We gotta go! That sucked.
336
I was snatched by aliens.
337
Guess I believe in them now.
338
And I got cursed by a ghost.
339
I believe in them now.
340
So, what are we supposed to do from here?
341
How should I know?
342
Well, if I stop using my power to block your curse, you'll go apeshit again.
343
Sorry about that.
344
Thanks to those jagoffs, I lost my clothes, my wallet, my phone.
345
What do we do about getting rid of this curse?
346
Turbo Granny's the cause of it, so we have to beat the crap out of her, obviously.
347
Oh, right.
348
Guess I'll go back to the tunnel.
349
Wait, now?
350
Take my clothes, so you don't go home like that.
351
Hang on.
352
Without me, you can't control yourself.
353
This is all my fault.
354
This all happened because of me.
355
I won't get you involved in whatever happens next.
356
I'll force myself to get to the tunnel somehow.
357
What else can I do?
358
You can ask me to come with you, that's what.
359
I can't leave you alone after everything that's happened.
360
Heck, if I wasn't around, you'd be dead right now. Are you sure?
361
You don't have to, you know.
362
I'm going with you, and that's that.
363
Here, put them on.
364
Let's go.
365
Listen.
366
Sorry.
367
I'm an ocaric guy.
368
Could you please put these on already?
369
I'm worried I won't be able to think straight.
370
Why is my heart beating so fast?
371
No way.
372
He just happened to say one of Ken Tucker's lines.
373
That's hope.
374
Calm down.
375
No biggie.
376
Um, my memory for names is awful.
377
So, when'd you say yours was again?
378
Oh.
379
I'm Ken.
380
Ken Takakura.
381
I'm sorry.
382
The Don't
383
go over it!
384
It's not just a thing, right?
385
What to play?
386
I want to sleep with you and me!
387
I'm not a teacher, I'm not a teacher I'm calling you, but I'm not a teacher I'm not a teacher, but I'm not a teacher I want to believe it,
388
I'm a teacher I'm coming back, I'm coming back I'm very careful, I'm going to tie the down Lumber down,
389
tie the down, count down and ghosts are real!
390
Means it's possible that other phenomena like cryptids and stuff are all surreal!
391
Yeah, yeah, I get it!
392
Let's do this!
393
Next time!
394
That's a space alien!
395
Ugh, we're supposed to be in sync!

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
