**Omen (Part 1)** (前 (ぜん) 兆 (ちょう)  其 (そ) の一 (いち) , *Zenchō sono ichi*?) is the one-hundred and first chapter of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun by AidaIro.

## Summary

The chapter starts with a flashback the school festival from the time Yugi Tsukasa and Yugi Amane were first-years in school. The two of them are spending time in the sealed auditorium, where Amane seems to be building a clock while Tsukasa is watching people attend the festival from a window. Amane asks if Tsukasa is fine with not going to see the play, even though he helped with the preparations. Tsukasa responds by asking Amane if he wants Tsukasa to stay with him, or if he preferred him to disappear altogether.

In current day, Yashiro Nene has begun her second trimester in school, and her class is preparing for the fall festival. It's announced that Yashiro's class will be performing a musical adaptation The Wizard of Oz as their program. When a few students talk about being unfamiliar with the story, Akane Aoi summarizes the play; Dorothy is whisked away to a magical land faces many adventures while trying to return to her home, Kansas. When some students complain about the chosen play, Aoi Akane angrily reminds them that the decision was majority rule. While the class are thinking about which roles they would like to volunteer for in the play, a mysterious voice asks Yashiro what she thinks will happen in the play. Yashiro notes that Aoi will most likely be voted for a lead role, but she wants to try to audition for them herself, too. Then the voice creepily states: "Yeah, there's no way. Not after an accident like that." Confused, Yashiro turns around but sees nobody behind her,

Later, in the girl's restroom Yashiro fills Hanako in on the school festival, to which Hanako laments his inability to interact or have fun with humans and not being invited to the fireworks party during the summer. Yashiro suggests they spend the festival together with Kou. Hanako starts making very specific requests of what he wants to do during the festival, which Yashiro agrees to, but denies putting his name on the class t-shirt. The two of them decide to go to the sealed auditorium to prepare for the play, where they need to carry the costumes from last year's play to use as references. Yashiro suddenly takes one of the dresses and asks Hanako to guess what play she is referencing, after which she performs a few lines from The Wizard of Oz. When Yashiro says "I wish I could go to a wonderful place like that." Hanako responds with "Shall I take you there?". After guessing the play correctly, Hanako asks if Yashiro got the lead role. After a pause, Yashiro admits she only got the role of Twister No. 4. When asked how she's supposed to play a role like that, Yashiro says "By twisting" and demonstrates by spinning around with Hanako until they both get light-headed and fall down. Yashiro then makes Hanako promise to come see her class's play.

When Hanako and Yashiro look up, they see a huge clock. Yashiro explains that it froze ages ago, but Hanako suddenly remembers how he used to come to the clock often when he was alive. He remembers having until the school festival was over to fix the lock and get it moving, but he can't seem to recall why he had to do it.

The chapter switches to Aoi Akane in a classroom with the festival committee, where he seems to be quite busy. Out of nowhere Natsuhiko Hyuuga appears behind Akane and recognizes him as one of the clock keepers. He suggests the two of them team up.
