58th year of Showa, June!?
Everything... Everything is wrong.
Irie's not in this world, nor is Takano.
And also, Maebara Keiichi isn't here!
But above all else, Oyashiro-sama's curse didn't take place?
Not only did I go back to the start, but it's a completely different world this time.
Where is this place?!

Dice Killing Chapter
Episode 2
Since Takano never showed up, the Irie Clinic was never founded.
Since the Hinamizawa syndrome research never happened...
My parents never died.
My mother was one who couldn't calm down,
and was made out to be quite the hysterical type.
To continue their research, their motivations to silence her were obvious.
After all,
no matter how many times I went back and tried to warn them,
they never listened.
And so I had given up on them being here after the 56th year of Showa.
However, in this world,
in the 58th year of Showa, my parents are here.
Hanyuu? What are you doing?
Hurry up and show yourself!
Hanyuu...?
Hanyuu? Hanyuu, are you there?
Where are you, Hanyuu?
Answer me!
Rika... Rika!
Where are you?
Hanyuu, can you hear me? It's me, Rika!
I'm right here!
Rika, Rika!
I can hear your voice.
But I can't enter the world that you're in!
What are you saying? Hurry up and take me away from this world!
Rika, please listen to me.
For some reason, I can't enter the world that you're in.
To think that something like this could happen!
I didn't ask for such pathetic excuses.
Hurry up and do something!
Please, help me!
I can't, Rika. The world you're in is resisting me.
If you don't do something about it, I'm completely powerless.
What do you mean, "resistance against a God"?
Such a thing can't exist, can it?
I'm not sure why,
but something from the world of the Gods is sealed away in your world.
To explain it,
it's as if the key to a chest you want to open has been locked inside it.
The key to the... key?
The world you're in right now has a fragmented piece from our world.
Just like a jigsaw puzzle,
we have to put that fragment back together before I can go to your neighbouring world.
Then, unless I do something about that fragment in my world,
or in other words, the jigsaw piece,
the surrounding pieces can't be visited?
That's right.
And because of that, I can't go to your world or correct it.
In that case, I just have to do something about that fragment, right?
Where is that fragment? And what exactly am I supposed to do with it?
I don't know!
How am I meant to look for it if you don't know anything about it?
This fragment,
does it have a warm sparkling feel to it like this ball?
It probably does.
But it's beyond my imagination to think of what it could've changed into by now.
To search for something that you don't even know the appearance of... this is bad.
Well, if and when I do find it, what am I supposed to do with it?
I suppose that means you don't know that either?
And what's more, I'm stuck in this world where I don't know left from right?
This power that I used to get us into this situation
was something that I had sworn to never use again.
Wait, then you're saying that you used this power that you shouldn't have used... to save me?
Yes, because there was nothing else that I could do.
You were hit by that truck.
It was bad luck.
You ended up right under the truck's tire.
Under the tire?
Your body... it was... you had completely lost your head.
So I was beheaded from that crash with the truck, huh?
After that, everybody prayed for this to be nothing but a dream,
and despaired and cried nonstop.
So in other words, when you get right down to it,
"You reap what you sow," huh?
Anyway, to return to my world, I have to get you here first, is that right?
Yes, you're right.
I want to go back with Rika to our old world too!
That's right.
We'll return to that world that we struggled to create for over a hundred years.
Rika!
I'll return. I'll go back.
I will definitely get back to our old world.
No matter how difficult it will be,
I'll definitely return!
Perhaps...
In this world without Hanyuu, if I die, that means it's "The End" right?
Yes. My power can't reach your world.
So Rika... please be careful.
I understand.
On my side, your voice is growing fainter and fainter.
I'm using the leftover power from the Furude shrine...
But it's draining away fast.
I see.
So it's like the battery of a transceiver, huh?
In that case, let's not waste the remaining energy.
Okay.
Don't worry. I'll definitely find that fragment and return to that fun-filled world.
And that's why you should work hard too.
If you find any hints, make sure you tell me.
Mi-chan's looks so delicious.
You want to try it too, then?
In that case, I'll trade it with this, okay?
What? Hey wait!
Is that so?
You've been staring at me forever now! If you have a problem, say it out loud!
I don't have any problem with you-
Stop it, Satoko. You just happened to catch her eye.
It's no coincidence!
She's been staring at me for a long time. It's creeping me out!
I'm sorry... I'll stop staring.
That's right.
Because of you, I couldn't even enjoy the taste of this cream croquette!
Have you found anything out yet?
By getting rid of the fragment from your world,
you can most likely send the fragment from your world to mine.
Getting rid of it... I have to destroy it?
Yes, thats right.
I see.
Actually Rika... The fragment isn't necessarily an object.
There's a chance that it might even have possessed a person.
And if it is a person, what am I supposed to do? You can't mean...!
To get rid of a person...
means that they have to pass away.
Then that means that...
if the fragment has entered a person, then I'll have to...
Such a gloomy conversation. But now that I know this,
I can't help but think that the worst case is most likely.
We can only hope that that isn't so...
But no matter what we wish it could be, we first have to find the fragment, right?
But assuming it was a person, it would take on the form of someone close to Oyashiro-sama, correct?
Yes, that's very likely.
Then, what are the chances that the fragment is within me?
None.
If the fragment was within you, then this conversation we're having would not be possible.
Then that means the next most likely would be either the Furude shrine master, my father,
or my mother...
And if that's the case, then I just have to kill them both, huh?
If there's another method, then of course I'd prefer to try that first.
But since there isn't another way, I won't hesitate in what I have to do.
I'll pray that the fragment isn't a person then...
Pray, eh? Then I'll do so too.
Continue your search, and if you find any more hints, please contact me.
I understand.
These documents...
Perhaps... there might be some...
Thanks for always making my meals.
What's this all of a sudden? I'm your mother, after all.
What is it? Do you need a favour?
I can't feel anything. It seems the fragment isn't in my mother.
I just want to show my everyday gratitude!
Oh, is that so?
What are you reading all by yourself for?
What the hell is this? This doesn't make any sense at all.
Here!
Pass!
Come and get it!
Over here Rika-chama, here, here!
What's wrong, Rika-chama?
Satoko, shut your mouth for a second.
Since you had the same face as my best friend, I endured it for awhile.
But I'm just about fed up with that arrogant voice of yours.
The next time you decide to bully me, I won't listen to any of your excuses.
So with that in mind...
Nice to meet you.
That should do it.
Okay, you two. Make up and apologize to each other.
If you don't apologize, we'll just keep standing here forever.
Houjou-san.
I'm sorry for hitting you.
See? Furude-san apologized, so you apologize too, Houjou-san.
Sorry for teasing you.
Don't ever fight like that again, okay?
Okay.
Rika-chan, let me see your hand for a second.
What's this? It's injured, isn't it. Here, take a seat.
Well then, let's go back to the classroom, Houjou-san.
Furude-san, after you finish treating your hand, come back right away.
I suppose everyone gets lonely after school ends. You too, right?
To have a good friend suddenly transfer out of your school.
That feeling of loneliness, I know that feeling very well.
Is that so...
But that person isn't your only friend.
You might meet that person again next year,
but wouldn't it be more fun if you made friends with everyone?
My true friends...
all went away,
to a far-away place.
My only desire is to return to that place.
I wonder, since when did Rika-chan talk like an adult?
Well... I just felt like it.
By any chance... Are there any other worries that you have?
If you're alright with telling someone like me,
I might be able to help you out.
I think that would be impossible... for you.
Don't say that!
Even though I might not look it, I can be quite helpful.
Is that so?
Alright, I'll talk then, even though you won't believe me anyway.
I'll be glad to listen.
Ever since that ball hit me...
I think that, maybe, Furude Rika died.
Died?
Then is there a ghost standing in front of me?
I'm not the same Furude Rika that Yamamoto and the others know.
Then, who are you?
I am the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama.
Reincarnation?
And I came from a different world.
From the same Hinamizawa, but a completely different world.
Then you were trapped in the Hinamizawa you mentioned.
That's right.
I kept on repeating the days after the 58th year of Showa.
And that's why I have return to my old world...
But is there such a way for you to return to your old world?
There is.
And how would you do that?
And then...
Hanyuu, that person who taught you how to return to your world.
How did she tell you?
This ball is a link between me and Hanyuu.
Hmm... with this...
I can hear her voice through it.
Can I see it for a moment?
Sure...
I'm sorry, but I can't hear any voices.
That's because the energy hasn't recharged yet.
I see. Well that's too bad then.
If you give it enough time,
the energy will be recharged, and if you were to check it again at that time...
Then I'll wait until then.
If I am able to talk with this Hanyuu, then I'll do all I can to help you return to your world, okay?
Really?
I promise.
But then, if I'm unable to talk to her...
you'll promise to listen and try to believe my story.
How does that sound?
That'd be the fair thing right?
And what story of yours would I have to believe?
I'll leave that for next time. Well, if that's all...
Stand! Bow!
Sensei, bye!
Rika-chan, can you wait for a moment?
Is there something you wanted?
I just wanted to talk to you a little bit.
Is it about what happened during lunch?
Well there's that too, but...
I already apologized to Satoko back in the infirmary.
There's no need to be afraid, Rika-chan.
We didn't call you out to scold you or anything like that.
In that case, why did you ask to talk to me?
Well to put it quite frankly,
we wanted to ask you how we can all get along.
But then again, considering who created this situation,
you have a responsibility to fix it.
Mion! You didn't have to say it like that.
It's my duty to point these things out, isn't it?
Rika-chan, you agree that it's best if everybody gets along, right?
So, can you guess what we came up with?
I have no idea.
You may not realize it, but Mion here has a lot of different types of games.
Well, it's because it's an old hobby of mine.
Board games, card games, that type of thing.
And then our idea was to get everybody together after school and play those games.
We'd create a games club!
Games... club?
I think that as we play these games together, everyone can learn to get along.
We wanted to create something that could get someone like you, who's all alone in the class, to join.
Like I said Mion, you don't have to go and say it like that.
To be honest though, I think that your current situation is that "you reap what you sow."
I reap... what I sow?
Before everybody moved...You were like a princess, right?
A princess?
Yes, a princess.
You were always surrounded by the boys in your group.
You never did a thing in return, but always got them to do things for you.
Especially Tonida-kun and Okamura-kun. They did anything you asked, right?
And so you never took an interest in interacting with others,
and focused on your role as leader.
Because of that, you never really had a chance to form bonds with others.
That's why, when everybody started moving away and you were left all alone,
I thought, "Yeah, serves her right."
I see.
So the Rika from this world was that kind of person.
Rika-chan, are you listening to Mi-chan?
I'm listening.
No, you're not. You have a "this doesn't concern me" face right now.
Stop that, Reina. Rika-chan has already thought about this enough.
I wonder? That's the look of someone who doesn't even realize she was wrong.
Like I said, that's enough.
We didn't start this to bully you. We wanted to become friends.
And also, I believe that we just can't go on this way.
About the club, Satoko also wants you to join.
Satoko is quite the bully, so she hasn't been able to say it properly...
But she really wants to make up with Rika-chan and get along.
Well? Won't you join our games club?
I'm sure it will be fun.
It doesn't have to be right away. You can start by trying to change yourself in small steps.
Everybody wants to be friends with Rika-chan. I'm sure you can sense our feelings.
We're the only ones left now. It's up to you to join us.
I'm sorry, Rika-chan...
To tell you the truth, I overheard a bit of your talk with Yamamoto-sensei on my way to the bathroom.
The world that you were talking about, where everybody got along. It was a really fun world, right?
You said that you wanted to return to that world, right?
And so, after hearing your talk, we tried to think up a way to get you back to your world.
Of course, we don't mean that we're bringing back Tonida-kun, Okamura-kun, and the others.
I think everyone wants to return to the old world that you remember.
But I also believe that is impossible.
No matter how you piece together the fragments of something broken, it will never go back the way it was.
But once it breaks, that's not the end.
All you have to do is find a new one again.
If you spend all your time trying to put together the broken pieces, you will never find that new one.
In other words,
what we're trying to say is, although we can't bring back your old friends,
All we have to do is make new friends who won't lose out to your old ones.
This way we can create a new world similar to your old one.
Of course, this won't get you back to your old world,
but I believe this will get you the closest to it.
And if we think this way, then we can create even better bonds then the ones from before.
Make do with what you have, or so they say.
Well? Do you want to try your best together with us?
Thank you. I'm really happy.
It's alright. This time, we'll be sure to protect our friendship.
So, until we have to move away, let's play together a lot and create some fun memories.
No, um...
I want to prepare my heart for this...
Huh? What are you getting all maiden-like for?
It's not as if Satoshi confessed his love to you or anything like that.
Mi-chan, don't go saying unnecessary things.
I understand your feelings, Rika-chan.
And so I'll be waiting until you sort out your feelings.
Thank you.
Please, when the time comes, let me in as one of your friends.
Keiichi, Irie, and Hanyuu are gone...
But, in exchange, Satoshi and my parents are here.
The club is about to begin, and although Satoko isn't my best friend, we'll get better from now on.
Just as Rena said, I might be able to create a lot of fun-filled memories in this world.
Rika! Help me prepare dinner.
See? Just like this, we'll add the ingredients to the nabe one at a time.
Perhaps I have always longed for the warmth of my mother.
Since I couldn't change my fate in the 56th year of Showa,
I thought it would be easier to just hate her.
But in this world, my mother did not pass away on the 56th year.
Continuing to live with mother may actually be fun...
Hamburger curry for dinner - this isn't about which world is right or wrong.
No matter which one is right, is it wrong to enjoy dinner with your family?
It may just be that I've lost interest in finding a way to return to my world.
Instead, I worry about which world I should choose.
Rika... today I got a phone call from Yamamoto-sensei.
The talk you had with Yamamoto-sensei... he told me about it.
To tell other people about our private conversation, Yamamoto is pretty mean.
He said you think you came from another world or something like that.
That was...
Yamamoto was so persistent...
I made that up to play around with him.
I'm sorry.
Is that what it was?
In that case, were you also kidding about being the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama?
That's...
Listen carefully, Rika.
Ever since Mother was a kid, grandma and grandpa looked after her.
That's because Mother was the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama.
The reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama?
I haven't told you anything about it yet.
But in the Furude family, there is a tradition that says,
after the previous Oyashiro-sama dies,
if the first-born of a generation is a girl, then that girl is the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama.
And that person was... your mother.
Not me, but...
You're also the first-born girl of your generation,
But since the 8th Oyashiro-sama died before I was born,
the reincarnation was not you, but me.
However, this is a secret.
You cannot tell anyone else this.
The only ones who know this are your dead grandmas, me, and now you.
So from now on, let's keep this secret to ourselves.
Alright?
It's hot!
No... this is...
The same presence that Hanyuu's power has...
It's mother.
As I thought, it was mother. The fragment hid itself in her!
itaku nai you ni yasashiku ayameta
痛くないように やさしく殺めた
I killed them gently so that they felt no pain

I replaced it with words and forgot the sadness

ああ いま 何をなくしたのだろう
Ah, what have I lost now?

It won’t come true, this memory of a dream of atonement

From the world I had longed for, they disappeared and vanished
