Did you plan on opening
this consultation office

ever since you were in middle
school, Master Reigen?

Wha? Of course not.
What kind of middle schooler would?

Then why did you decide on doing this?

Huh?! Why...?
Well, you know... Yeah.

One day, I realized I had
very unique powers...

I'd basically achieved everything I
could at my old job at the time,

so I was looking for a new challenge.

So you did everything you could at your
old job, then opened up this office...

You truly are amazing, Master.

Yeah, pretty much.

I'm done cleaning the bathrooms.

Good.

By the way, you don't need to report
every little thing back to me.

Y-Yes, sir.

It's good to see you, Shigeo-kun.

Oh, hello.

Our client should be here any minute.

Listen up, Serizawa!

Even though I've officially hired you,

you're still a newbie that's
brand spankin' new!

Make sure you watch
how I deal with this client

to learn how this job is done.

Yes, sir! I'll do my best!

But Master Reigen's younger...

I found this at an antiques shop
during one of my travels.

Thinking back on it now,

it feels like it has brought me
nothing but bad luck,

and I haven't been able to sleep.

People have been telling me
I don't look so well lately either.

Would you mind using your
clairvoyance on it?

What is it, Mob?

You probably shouldn't
touch that thing anymore.

I wonder if it's called
a deep-seated grudge...

There's a lot of really bad
things swirling in it.

It'll probably get pretty dangerous
if we leave it alone.

Let us exorcise it after all.

Could you wait in the
caffe upstairs for now?

I can't imagine it

Serizawa... Why did you just
stand there gawking, then?

Huh?

If I actually didn't notice the curse,
there would've been a huge problem.

I was just testing you to see

if you'd notice my mistake.

Th-Then I...

Well, you're a rookie,
so I'll let this slide.

Do you want a second chance?

Try exorcising it yourself.

Y-Yes, sir.

I did it.

What do you think, Mob?

Serizawa-san is very powerful.

All right! Great job, Serizawa.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, that must've been from the blast.

and he found out just how
big the world truly was.

What's the matter, Shige?

You've barely eaten at all.

I have to turn in my career path
survey, but I'm not sure what to do.

You have almost ten years
before you graduate college,

so why don't you just put down

Oh, dear. You're always too simplistic.

I don't even know what to
do for high school yet.

I never imagined that one of my classmates
would end up being so divine.

This might be the biggest thing
that's ever happened to it!

do in the future, Mezato-san?

Huh? Where'd that come from?

I think... I'm gonna be a photographer.

A journalist. Something like that.

I'm sure there'll be even bigger
things in your life, Mezato-san.

Plenty of them.

Er... I don't think that's
gonna happen again.

It's not all about using fancy words
or how big something may look.

What else is there?

For me... Like when I joined
the Body Improvement Club.

How is that a huge deal?

It's not that different from what
you're saying, Mezato-san.

I mean... That thing's a broccoli.

Oh, I see. It's just a broccoli...

Uh... How the hell am I
supposed to accept that?!

Then what are you going to
do in the future, Mob-kun?

Well... I can't think of anything.

In the end, I'm glad you're
not the least bit convincing.

I was afraid you'd gained enlightenment
because you're so unpopular.

Mob Psycho

Without a doubt...

I am being possessed by an evil spirit.

I've talked to many
psychics up until now,

but no one has been able to
exorcise this evil spirit.

Uh-huh... I see.

In my opinion...
There's definitely something here.

I knew it! I'm glad I hired you!

R-Roaches are terrifying!

Could you, uh... perhaps tell
me what made you think that?

Well, my shoulders are really heavy,

and I experience sleep paralysis.

I brush my teeth all the time and
still managed to get cavities.

The reason I got fired from my part-time job
must also be due to that evil spirit, too.

I never touched a female coworker's
ass. I was falsely accused.

My hand just happened to brush against
the back of their hand sometimes.

That evil spirit even
chased my girlfriend away!

Oho... You had a girlfriend?

Yes. She was young and a great gal,

but when I told her I was broke,
she suddenly did a on me...

She was like an evil spirit herself.

She even said I was her type.

Oh, and I've been losing
way more hair lately.

It's like someone's ripping
them outta my head.

Right... So about this mountain of garbage...

It's not garbage! It's my legacy!

It's like a barrier, see?

I can sleep soundly as
long as it's around me.

Barrier, you say...

for me, will my life just be over?

meaningless days until my death?

I understand exactly how you feel.

When I was confined to my room,

I wondered if that's where I would
spend the rest of my life...

I'm also wondering what's going to happen to me
if I can't decide a career path for myself...

I've been alive fifty years...

I had fifty years...

But all I've got left is this
house that my parents left me.

I have nothing I can truly call my own.

I basically went with the flow and
kept choosing the easy way out.

If only I had chosen the
right path back then...

I guess your life really
does end after one mistake.
