Sleep, sleep, peacefully my child
For you, dear boy, are a good child and enjoy thy slumber
Little boy bear in mind, whatever path we may take,
Are you ready?
Not yet!
once we pass through the mountains, we'll be at the village
So there's a shrine in a place like this...
On the way back to the village, tread with care the path we take
Are you ready?
Because if we get lost passing through the mountains,
Yes I am!
we may meet a demon
Yes I am!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! No! No! No!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! No! No! No!
There is something that I want to tell you about
A secret conversation between the two of us, okay?
Then again, hold it, I'd rather not hear it
Because I'm afraid of scary stories
You're always terrified on the way back
So let's use some magic then
We'll take a detour and run away towards our secret hideaway
It's quite easy, very, very, easy!
Let's go!
In an instant, we've become happy and lucky
One!
Two!
Three!
I'm gonna let you have a peek at a maiden's heart!
Happy!
Lucky!
Come on!
I'll give you a smile as my heart throbs
One!
Two!
Three!
Maybe so... whatever, which is it then?
Happy!
Lucky!
Come on!
You see, the answer is that I
like
you
a
lot!
Happy!
Lucky!
Dochy!
Yes!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! No! No! No!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Happy! Lucky! Dochy! No! No! No!

Daydreaming Chapter
ColorMeSubbed
Rika?
Satoko?
Rika?
Satoko?
To Hanyuu
To Hanyuu:
You were asleep and we didn't want to wake you.
Satoko and I are going over to Mii's to get help with our homework.
We'll be back before evening.
It's really hot today,
even though it's September.
I haven't been alone in awhile...
I wonder what they're doing?
If they're at Mion's, everyone else might be there too...
I'm certain this voice belongs to her...
Hanyuu...?
I'm... Um...
You're Hanyuu, right?
No, you're mistaken.
I don't even know anyone by that name.
But, you look like her
and you talk like her...
That's just a...
co-coincidence or something.
I happen to resemble her, perhaps.
Sleep, sleep, peacefully my child
For you, dear boy, are a good child and enjoy thy slumber
Good day.
Good day to you.
On the way back to the village, tread with care the path we take
Because if we get lost passing through the mountains,
we may meet a demon
You aren't Hanyuu after all.
Because only I can see her
and she can't be touched.
I'm glad that's cleared up.
So what's your name?
Furude Rika.
I knew it...
Are you lost?
I think I am.
Alright then,
I'll help you find your way home.
Really?
It's my job to watch over Hinamizawa's children after all.
You sound sort of like a mother.
I'd prefer you think of me as a big sister instead.
Okay.
So, I'll leave myself in your care then.
Onee-chan.
Nipaaa~
H-H-H-How cute!
Where were you last?
I don't know.
Hanyuu and I were playing hide and seek in the forest.
I hid inside an old shrine,
and when I came out, everything was different.
An old shrine...
Did that cause her to jump through time...?
This is Hinamizawa, right?
It is, but it's different from the Hinamizawa you know.
I think you traveled into the future.
Now that I think about it,
Rika vanished once and I searched for her frantically.
But, if the Rika in this timeline doesn't remember this,
and I explain what's going on, it will cause deviations and distortions.
A time paradox, one might say.
Time... Para...
It's fine if you don't understand for now.
For now, we have to find that shrine.
Is this it?
It's different.
There's a path close to the one we're looking for.
Come to think of it, Hinamizawa has a lot of shrines.
How about this one?
It might not be a shrine, but is this it?
This is hard.
I have no idea where else to look now.
I'm sorry for being a burden, Onee-chan.
I'm so touched.
This timeline's Rika would never say something like that to me.
Over here, Rika.
Are you okay, Rika?
This will be faster.
Nipaa~
It's really warm.
I'm glad it was just a passing shower.
I guess we'll be fine now.
But, I can't relax just yet.
With the reincarnated miko of Oyashiro-sama missing from her timeline,
the Hinamizawa of the past might be in trouble.
I must get her back before sunset.
I feel refreshed.
It's great having a place like this nearby.
Where could Kei-chan have gone off to?
We got separated halfway.
Aren't you glad though?
We couldn't enjoy it like this with a guy around.
Hold on!
I heard a voice over there.
Oh dear!
Why is everybody here?
Well...
After the study session, we helped Satoko with her traps,
then it started raining.
So, who's the kid?
I'm taking you home!
Put some clothes on, dammit!
Geez! You let your emotions control you.
Sorry, she was just so cute.
Yeah.
She'll go nicely with Satoko.
You're so damn cute!
Onee-chan, we look a lot alike.
That's because we're distant relatives,
and our names just happen to be the same.
She's good at making up lies, as usual.
This is the first I've heard of you having a relative like her.
How did you end up getting lost here?
What do you mean you're searching for a shrine?
That is...
That is...?
She wants to know about every shrine in the area.
Nipaa~
It's really suspicious no matter how you look at it.
There must be a reason behind it all.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Why don't we lend a hand.
In short, you'll help out as long as they're cute.
Right, Rena?
Man,
that rain really poured down.
I'd better warm myself up with a soak.
Sup!
What the hell are you showing us?!
You got it wrong!
It wasn't on purpose!
Your lewdness knows no bounds!
Activating traps!
Time for a little stun gun!
Time to take Keiichi's frankfurter home!
I think the shrine you're talking about must be a hidden one.
A hidden shrine?
I'm not sure of the details,
but I've heard that there are lost shrines around here.
At least, that's what Grandma used to tell me.
Really?
I wonder why they can't be found?
Hidden shrines...
So there's one near this part of Hinamizawa?
Sure, and we're getting closer to it.
Does this area seem familiar?
Yes, this place looks just like it.
Speaking of which,
do you remember the time when I got lost playing hide and seek?
Yeah, it happened a long time ago.
At that time,
I was saved by a girl who looked like me,
but I thought it was a dream, when it actually wasn't.
Found it!
I'm sure that's it.
Huh?
What's the matter?
It's gone...
The shrine's gone...
What?!
I'm sure it was here before...
Miii~
This is bad...
If I don't go back quickly, Hanyuu will be worried.
Rika, did you think of anything to help her return to her timeline?
If I had, I'd have told you already.
Then again, it's been ages...
What could this mean, I wonder?
Is this what they call being "spirited away?"
I thought that only happened in stories.
But for that to happen, it should be a human which disappeared, right?
I've never heard of a structure being taken.
We have too get to the bottom of this.
Strange things do happen in Hinamizawa now and then.
What's wrong?
The people here get along really well.
It's different in the Hinamizawa I came from.
Everyone was arguing and fighting over the dam.
I hope the Hinamizawa I'm from will be like this soon.
Looks like Rika-chan is getting sleepy.
She can't help it.
She's been trying to keep up with us all this time.
Sleep, sleep, peacefully my child
For you, dear boy, are a good child and enjoy thy slumber
I'm feeling a bit sleepy myself.
We're usually causing a stir, but this isn't bad once in while.
Little boy bear in mind, whatever path we may take,
once we pass through the mountains, we'll be at the village
Hanyuu, would you sing that song once more?
But, she's already aslee-
Shut up and start singing, dammit!
Alright! I'm sorry! I'll sing!
Ah... Um... How does it go...?
Sleep, sleep, peacefully my child
For you, dear boy, are a good child and enjoy thy slumber
On the way back to the village, tread with care the path we take
Because if we get lost passing through the mountains,
we may meet a demon
Those are really unusual lyrics.
I don't think I've heard them before.
The latter one was Hinamizawa's version.
It's popular in this area.
I know the main Furude shrine had built hidden shrines in the area.
And I've heard that lullaby is a hint to the location of one.
But I wasn't told the full details,
and I've forgotten most of what was said about it.
I see... So the lullaby contains a secret message...
Then if we understand what the lyrics mean,
we might be able to find the shrine in question?
It's possible.
We can use it to search for the hidden shrine.
Certainly they hold a deeper meaning.
The verses say to be careful passing through the mountains to the village,
or you'll get lost and encounter a demon.
It sounds like a vague warning,
with the part about meeting a demon implying a place to avoid.
In other words, it's a forbidden area.
A place you need permission to enter.
Onee.
Huh?
Did Grandma ever mention such a place during your conversations?
Hmm...
I was on the verge of learning something once,
when Ooishi-san and the police had tea at the family house in Okinomiya...
"Don't tell me you're going on a group date?" is what she said.
What could she be thinking at her age?
Grandma's still a maiden at heart, you know!
Maiden? That face? Lies!
Those two that look alike...
And the twins...
Rika-chan, is there a map of Hinamizawa at the main shrine?
Found it!
This is the shrine we visited,
and there's a trail leading to another one here.
Twin shrines?
Yes, they're copies of each other.
Looking at Mion and Shion gave me an idea of where it was.
Looking at us?
What do you mean by that?
The lullaby's lyrics.
The first version says you'll emerge from the mountains,
while the second one, if you listen closely, is quite different.
That one states you might get lost on the way back.
Look, this was the place we first went to.
My mom was a fan of mystery novels, you see.
She told me of a trick like this once...
What if...
you want to hide a place from others, what do you do?
You set up a dummy copy where it can be easily seen.
So that's what it is, a clever substitution trick.
I've never been out this far before...
We're on the outskirts of Hinamizawa,
it's only the mountain from here on.
It's the edge of the world,
for Hinamizawa that is.
There it is!
So, is this the place we've been looking for?
Yes! This is it!
I'm sure of it!
You did it!
It's a success thanks to you, Keiichi-kun!
That's Kei-chan for you!
Usually a pervert, but dependable when needed!
Though he'll probably revert back soon.
No way! That's just too...
Could this be... something left by one of your bloodline?
They hid it and the trigger out of sight so it wouldn't be found.
Hanyuu?
What's wrong, Hanyuu-chan?
I can't...
I can't let her go back.
Because I know that from the moment she returns,
she will experience a lot of pain and suffering.
If I let her return, those tragic events will repeat again.
At least if she stays here, she'll be...
Onee-chan, are you crying?
Huh? What are you girls talking about?
Let's just keep quiet and watch.
Rika-chan.
Do you want to stay like she said?
It's peaceful here, and everyone in this Hinamizawa gets along.
Isn't this the Hinamizawa that you want?
No.
I will return to my Hinamizawa.
I have an important job there.
And besides...
If I don't go back, I won't get to see Hanyuu anymore!
Because I really, really love Hanyuu!
Nipaa~
I made it back!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Um, will we see each other again?
Of course!
If you become a miko and do your best for everyones sake,
we'll definitely meet again.
Really?
Yes.
When your Hinamizawa becomes a wonderful place, we will meet again.
That's why...
Be strong!
Yes, I will!
So then, thank you for all the help you've given me.
We'll have more fun if we ever meet again.
Oh, yeah!
Stay healthy!
Do your best!
Catch you later!
Stay perky!
Bye bye!
Hanyuu!
Rika!
I was so worried!
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Geez, where have you been?!
Hinamizawa!
I'm glad it worked out like this...
Huh?
And that things turned out the way they are now...
I may have experienced severe hardships,
but thanks to them,
I'm able to have fun like this with everyone.
It's just a regular shrine, right?
Was that all a dream, maybe?
What a coincidence that was.
Everybody had the same dream.
Is this one of Oyashiro-sama's mysterious powers?
Rika-chan, that child just now...
Don't worry about her, she'll grow up just fine.
Rika...
That's because she'll have Hanyuu by her side.
Nipaa~
It gets really cool as evening approaches.
The cicadas are chirping loudly too.
Do you guys want to have dinner at our place?
Ok! It's been awhile since I've tasted your cooking.
I'm coming too!
You better eat a lot.
Yeah, cook up a feast!
I'll take your offer.
It's gonna be good.
Hanyuu.
Let's go back now, Hanyuu.
To our home.
Okay!
Rock!
Paper!
Scissors!
You can barely catch up to me as you give chase
Over there?
Over here?
My heart's in an uproar while
daydreaming more than ever!
We gladly hold something dear that appears to be junk
Never think, not even once, everyone don't ever let go
I'm looking forward to after school,
now today what
kind of snacks shall we have?
Whatever we do today, we'll bring our special costume along
and transform!
Rock!
Paper!
Scissors!
You can barely catch up to me as you give chase
Over there?
Over here?
My heart's in an uproar while
daydreaming more than ever!
The key is trust itself!
As we're brimming with righteousness, the troubles are gone now
With strength behind us, we shall fight
and go forth to achieve a miracle!
The somewhat obscure future may be a bit bleak, but
today we will be able to choose the path around it
which nobody expects at all
Yes! Our Chance!
AuAu!~
Our Dreams!
Nano-desu!~
The time to surpass ourselves has now begun
