Rika, Rika, it's an emergency! Of primary importance!
What's going on here, Hanyuu?
Look at this!
Eh? This furnace's leg is broken.
This furnace was made by Rika's ancestors when they created the seal.
If this is broken, then the seal is also broken!
That would be terrible.
It's written on this scroll. It even has pictures!
In the case that this forbidden seal is broken and the treasure of the Furude Shrine is released:
Note: Magatama are curved beads which first appeared in Japan during the Joumon period.
This seal encases the magatama left behind by a vengeful god,
if released upon humans, it will begin to consume them one by one.
Inevitably, the carnage will soon reach that of the 8th level of hell.
Note: Avici is the lowest level of the "hell" realm.
That means... we just stepped into a horrible situation!
If we controlled this, it could be used for great things,
but it was too dangerous, so Rika's ancestors sealed it away in the sky.
In the sky?
So it means that if the seal were to be broken, it would fall down somewhere over the village!
It would be terrible if someone picked it up!
It would be terrible?

Day Crushing Chapter
To have Rena's handmade cookies, I would kill without reservation...
That's a scary way to put it, but it makes me happy!
And? How was today's treasure hunt?
Not so great...
Will you come tomorrow, Keiichi-kun? Or will I have to make cookies again?
I get it! I'll help you! Just don't look at me with those puppy eyes!
Even if we don't find anything, as long as I'm with Keiichi-kun, it's fun!
Ah! So bright!
A great plain-clothes picture!
Tomitake-san! And Takano-san, too!
Jirou-san has no delicacy at all. To even bother Rena-san during her date...
It's not a date! It's not a date!
Don't worry about it. It's times like this where people strengthen their bonds.
Right, Takano-san?
To strengthen their bonds...
Rena and Keiichi-kun will strengthen their bond...
Stop blushing! It's embarrassing!
Strengthen bonds!
What's wrong, Rena?
It sounds like you swallowed something.
Huh? All of a sudden it's better.
Are you alright?
Ah, I'm fine now.
Just in case, do you want to see a doctor?
Thanks for the concern...
If it gets any worse tomorrow I'll be sure to go.
That's good.
Well then, we should take our leave, Jirou-san. We can't be intruding on these two for too long...
I guess so. See ya.
What does she mean by "intruding"?
Calm down, Rena!
Calm down!
Stop blushing!
It must have fallen in this area! I can feel its presence!
These magatama were originally used as love charms.
It would attract the two holders and make them fall in love!
Is that it?
Seal
It's empty. But it seems like there were two magatama inside before.
It's possible that the magatama fell nearby.
Let's search for them!
Excellent. Then we'll use your spirit antenna to find it!
Right now the signal from the box is so strong, it'll be impossible to find the magatama themselves.
Then what do you plan to do? There's no way we'll find it!
You useless god! Useless! Useless!
She is definitely lovestruck.
Love!?
Really?
I think it's that weird thing she swallowed yesterday.
Weird thing? What do you mean?
Oh, that?
Yesterday, while treasure-hunting, something fell out of the sky right into her mouth and she swallowed it.
She swallowed something falling from the sky?
Inside Rena is the white magatama!
Its power is growing inside her body now.
Then we'll just make her cough it up by force.
That won't do!
The magatama has already been absorbed by Rena and no longer has a physical shape.
Then what should we do? Isn't there a way?
If we match it with the white magatama,
then there is a special procedure we can use at Furude shrine to clean it!
Then it's easy. On the way back, we'll just take Rena to the shrine and finish it there.
But it won't work without the white magatama.
At this rate, if we don't do something, Rena will fall hopelessly in love with the owner of the white magatama!
Soon she'll go mad, and with the magatama's power inside her, it won't end well!
You... why would you create such a dangerous item anyway?!
Talking to yourself, Rika... is there something you know?
Furude Shrine's treasure... the Unsealed Magatama?
According to the scroll... only the keyholder should be able to see it.
So the person with the red one will fall in love with the person with the white one.
Yes. Since Rena swallowed the red one,
whoever picks up the white one will be able to take Rena.
And this is definitely a confirmed effect?
So the problem is ... who was it that picked up the white magatama?
It seems like you get it. Take a look, see?
It's a photography magazine!
In Hinamizawa... the person associated with that keyword is...!
Hey Mi-chan, all of the sudden I'm feeling a little light-headed, so I'll take an early exit.
Wait a second, Rena!
What'll we do?
At this rate she'll surely be taken over!
In any case, the only thing we can do is find the white magatama.
Yes! Let's go, everybody!
You know... If there's anything you could teach me about your camera...
or perhaps something else about yourself...
Something not about my camera?
Usually Jirou-san is really good at talking about non-photography matters, even without asking.
If you could tell me anything at all, I'd be happy to listen, you know?
They're here!
Rena! Wake up! Those feelings you have are fake!
They're not fake!
I've finally discovered Tomitake-san's true kindness after all this time.
He's the only one for me now!
I already have a partner, Takano-san, so-
She's just your friend, right?
Friend?
Rena-chan, you still don't understand what an adult relationship is about yet.
I sure do.
Hey, Tomitake-san, if you want to,
I'll even cosplay in nurse uniform whenever you want.
Ehh? But I have Takano-san-
You've asked her many times, but she hasn't done it even once. Is that OK with you?
There's no way he would say that!
LIAR!
I know.
Tomitake-san isn't here to catch birds...
...he's here to catch Takano-san.
But she won't let him catch her at all.
Anybody like that is a failure as a partner.
Therefore, I will...
take Tomitake...
home~!
Hey, Tomitake-san, what colour nurse uniform is better? White or pink?
Whi-!? Pi-!?
Ah, I don't care! Go ahead and stay with Rena, then.
Satoko, are you ready?
OK, let's go!
Now! Launch them!
With a push of a button...
While we have time, let's get the stone from Tomitake-san!
Strange... we can't find it. He has it, right?
He doesn't have it.
He doesn't have it?
Then, what about Rena?
She just disappeared!
She must be after the white magatama's current owner!
This isn't funny anymore, it really isn't!
After all, if Jirou really insisted, I would wear the nurse uniform.
But it's so embarrassing!
But if he really insisted...
Were you listening?
No, I wasn't.
Well then, what's the matter?
I... um... you see...
What is it?
My true love is you, Mio-san!
Even if you push against me like that...
I've always been looking at you.
Ah, if only I could call you Onee-sama?
I'll become your little sister, and every morning you'll fix my crooked ribbon!
I'm grateful for your thoughts, but I don't really swing that wa-
LIAR!
I understand you.
How you can't stand to look at men as equals, but just as animals.
And there's no way an animal and a human could ever understand each other.
But, we're different.
I want to investigate the night of Watanagashi with you!
Can't we be sacrificed on Watanagashi together?
Please excuse Rena.
Right now spring is blooming in her head, so...
Spring?
What do you mean by spring?
Yeah, so what she's saying has nothing to do with her actual feelings.
Silence, mongrels!
Rena, I've figured it out.
When I was with Jirou-san, there was always something missing...
And because of you, I've finally come to understand.
Mio-san...
Wait a second, no body contact allowed here...
We were too late...?
Well, Rena-can, let's go and harness Oyashiro-sama's curse!
Then we can be together for eternity!
At this rate, the disaster will strike by tomorrow evening.
Mio-san! Can I call you Onee-sama?
We should get the magatama back as soon as possible.
Yeah, but only you.
You said it.
Thank you so much!
That white stone you're holding.
It was Rika's, please return it.
Oh, this is Rika-chan's?
Yes!
It's one of the Furude Shrine's treasures!
Mio, You idiot!
If you tell Takano-san that-
Furude Shrine's treasure?
After hearing that, there's no way you'll get it back that easily.
It's time to go and research this new toy nice and slowly.
Wait! Give that back!
I don't think so.
I won't let anybody get close to Mio-san.
Rena, stand aside!
Rena's too powerful right now!
Onee-sama, I'm coming too!
She has a new master... a new master...
Eh? How strange...
I wonder where that magatama went?
I'm so stupid!
Looks like she dropped the magatama.
Which means... Rena won't come here.
We should try and find her.
Let's go!
She's not here.
Where could she be?
Hey, that pile of books is...
What reading material does she have this time?
"Modern Mahjong"...
"The Crying Dragon"...
"Mahjong Detective"...
These are all mahjong books!
What's this?
With this tile in hand, it's about time to declare riichi.
LIAR!
What?
I understand you.
For a long time now you've been faking the fact that you're only one tile away.
Then why would you wait until now to declare riichi?
How surprisingly insightful you are, Ryuuguu-san.
I didn't know you were so good at mahjong.
Not bad at all.
Just now, I learned how to play from reading mahjong books.
I just wanted to play with Ooishi-san so much...!
Who would've thought that I still have all the charm from my younger years?
Hanyuu, there's no mistaking it this time!
Yes, Ooishi has the stone in his bag right now!
Ooishi.
Did you happen to pick up a white stone in Hinamizawa today?
Ah, yes I did.
That belongs to Rika! Please return it!
Yeah, yeah.
It's that magatama which is causing Rena to act weird.
Idiot! He doesn't need to know that!
That's how it is?
So, if I were to return this, then Ryuuguu-san would go back to normal, right?
But I can't let that happen now.
Until I win back my losses,
I'll be needing Ryuuguu-san's help.
That won't do! Return the magatama at once!
So it's come down to this?
Well, this is a mahjong parlour.
Why don't we settle it with a round of mahjong?
With mahjong?
Fine with me.
I think it's impossible, though.
I'll stay with Ooishi-san forever!
Idiot! Those aren't your true feelings!
You're being manipulated by the magatama.
I'll be the one to save you, Rena!
East
Battle
East
Battle
Wind
So, putting the magatama on the line, we'll be playing one round of mahjong.
The teams will be Keiichi-kun and Akasaka-san,
against me and Ooishi-san, the lovey-dovey team!
The team with the most points wins!
So that means, even if I lose, if Akasaka wins we can still come out ahead.
With this setup, team-mates play consecutively.
So it's actually a contest between the compatibility of the team-mates.
Are you fine with the rules?
If not, you can fix them if you want.
No, this is alright.
Rika, Ooishi's hand is totally messed up.
You mean nothing is matched up at all?
That's right!
Keiichi, Ooishi's hand has nothing.
Eh? All right!
Ron!
Hanyuu, how's this possible?
But Ooishi's hand is totally random!
How unbecoming, Maebara-san.
Ooishi-san, amazing!
What's more amazing is how quickly Rena can get up to speed with these new hobbies.
Ooishi-san is also remarkable.
Normally if you like someone, don't you try to pull that person into your own world with your own hobbies?
Trying to get them to like the things you like...
Isn't that normal?
But Rena is different.
In order to match with her partner, she's putting all her effort into learning new things.
That'd be pretty tiring.
I've been getting people to join my cause rather than changing myself all this time.
It's the last round.
Keiichi and Akasaka are in the lead slightly.
In other words, if they win or tie this round,
we'll be able to get the magatama back.
Yes, that's right.
Akasaka's hand is so pretty.
That means he'll get a lot of points!
Akasaka won't be able to win this hand on his own, so it's up to Kei-chan to play into it!
I'm counting on you, Keiichi-kun.
Alright, here I go.
Did it pass?
Too bad, too bad.
Good for you.
Then, I'll be playing the same tile too.
Good move, Akasaka-san!
How's that a good move?
In mahjong, after a player has discarded a tile, he can't steal that tile from others.
I see.
Ryuuguu-san, we've been found out.
Let's declare riichi.
I'm calling riichi!
What should we do, Akasaka-san?
I will call riichi too.
You're intruding on Ooishi-san and Rena's private riichi. Boo.
It's a double play!
Kei-chan, if you settle this here, they'll be done for!
I know that!
But the longer this goes on, the more dangerous Kei-chan's hand will become.
I've been thinking it over, and I've figured it out-
that tile in the corner is Ooishi's tile!
Really?
Then who is that tile for?
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four...
Oh this is bad!
It'll be Akasaka's!
Rika-chan is making a difficult face?
What could it be?
It seems like she understands the situation she's in.
I see, they've worked out the location of our opponent's winning tile.
What should I do?
Eh? What is it, Mion?
Kei-chan, call riichi with that tile.
But then-
No, Keiichi-kun,
right now that's our only chance of winning.
Shit. Well, here goes nothing.
Riichi!
It passed!
Alright!
It's a null round!
A null round? That means it's over...
Argh, too bad. If I was in front then we would have won.
That means...
Akasaka-san is on top!
It's our win!
Yay!
We lost.
Well, we lost the game, but we played through the whole thing together.
It was fun playing with you.
And so, I'll be returning the magatama to you.
After letting go of all this stress, I'm suddenly so sleepy...
Oh no!
Ah! I swallowed it!
Ha? What are you doing, Kei-chan!
Cough it up! Cough it up!
Satoko, hold him down!
Hanyuu?
In any case, let's take Keiichi to Furude Shrine to lift this curse!
Alright. Let's go, everyone!
Rena and Keiichi,
please sit still while I perform the ritual.
All right, got it.
Hey, Keiichi-kun.
Thanks for saving me earlier.
There's no way I would leave a friend behind like that.
What you said back then...
...really made me happy.
I'll be the one to save you!
Those words...
I really heard them.
They didn't have any special meaning, you know.
If Rena finds out, won't it be troublesome?
It's not like I dislike Rena...
It's just that Rena should take those feelings and show them to the one she truly loves, not to me.
That's true.
But didn't Mi-chan say earlier how it was amazing that Rena could make herself fit with others...
...that's not normal, right?
Anyone who falls in love will try their best to make their partner like them.
So Rena's not unique in that sense.
That's how it's gotta be.
You're right.
It's no good, Keiichi-kun, the magatama's power is starting to build up again!
Be careful! Focus on the ritual!
You're right.
Keiichi-kun,
although this might be due to the magatama,
Ryuuguu Rena really loves you.
If this is going to really be lifted soon,
then I wanted to tell you now.
You fool!
Don't let the power control you!
Take this seriously.
Yes, it would be nice if the magatama's power was lifted soon.
Rena just confessed her love to Keiichi!
Yes, I heard.
All that mushy crap is starting to piss me off.
We're lucky Mion and Satoko didn't hear it.
Well, with this, we're home free!
Man, people can be so troublesome.
What? We're not home free at all!
Didn't you promise me yesterday?
I prepared this just for you, it's your size!
It's time for our private filming!
Stop that, Jirou-san!
Rena-chan has no interest in the grotesque male body.
Right? Rena-chan?
From now on, you can call me Onee-sama.
Look here, your scarf isn't tied correctly.
Since that isn't caused by the magatama's power, I can't do anything about it.
In order to settle things, today I'll be having a sundae with mustard, kimchi, and wasabi on it!
Rika, you demon!
You bully!
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
kotoba ni okikaete kanashimi wo wasureta
言葉に置き換えて 悲しみを忘れた
I replaced it with words and forgot the sadness
aa ima nani wo nakushita no darou
ああ いま 何をなくしたのだろう
Ah, what have I lost now?
tsumi to iu oto no narabi kara omoiegakareta
ツミという音のならびから 思い描かれた
I was made to imagine a list of sounds called sin

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

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

The prayers of people always damaged
