Original subtitles

This is Mion.

I understand. Please handle the situation.

Also, be sure everyone remains silent.

Yes. Later.

What does "remain silent" mean?

Were you listening?

I, um, don't know what you're talking about.

It's exactly what you heard.

Tomitake-san and Takano-san were cursed by Oyashiro-sama.

It's really unfortunate.

Sis, what are you...

Tomitake-san killed himself by clawing at his own throat.

Takano-san was stuffed in a barrel and burned

deep in the mountains, apparently.

W...What's that? Why'd they die that way?

Don't you understand, Shion?

There's only one reason.

W...What's that?

Oyashiro-sama's curse.

Satoshi-kun, I finally understand.

As I thought, everything was done by the Sonozaki family.

I will definitely take revenge for you.

I will not get killed like you.

Who was calling so late?

EYE OPENING CHAPTER FOUR:

THE REVENGE

{OP}

{Episode}

Shion? Why are you doing this?

You never imagined you'd get locked up, huh?

As the Sonozaki head's representative, I order you.

Open this door.

Your voice is lacking power.

The head should be more arrogant.

But even if you threatened me with violence,

it'd just look comical.

Stuffing Takano-san into a barrel and burning her was impressive,

but what about Tomitake-san?

You pumped him with weird drugs?

Or is there some torture tool that makes it seem he died that way?

H...How would I know?

Hey, Mion. You shouldn't take on a rebellious attitude.

Since you've done it this far, I can no longer stop myself.

Then I'll ask.

Are Hinamizawa's serial mysterious deaths,

also known as "Oyashiro-sama's curse,"

tied to the dam war?

I think so...

How could the next head be so vague?

The next head is nothing more than Granny's spokesperson.

Then Oyashiro-sama's curse is solely decided by Granny?

Granny alone decides the super-risky issues.

I'm just a public spokesperson,

and I think there's another person who does the rest.

But Tomitake-san and Takano-san aren't tied to the dam war,

so why were they sacrificed?

Is it because they snuck into the ritual tool shrine?

They violated the shrine?

Oh? I thought you already knew.

If they did that, then it's a given.

But, Mion, wasn't there a rule that one dies from the curse,

and another vanishes as a sacrifice?

Takano-san and Tomitake-san are both dead, you know.

I'm not too sure,

but could it be four people really snuck into the shrine,

and the other two were spirited away by the demon?

Could it be me and Kei-chan?

Hideous Granny, won't you please wake up?

Don't tell me you're acting like you're sleeping to avoid all this.

Can you see this? You can't?

She's dead.

Damn.

Seriously?

Without saying a word and without an apology to Satoshi-kun.

How can she die without going through pain?

It's unforgivable!

Have you learned your lesson, hideous Granny?

Could it be

that you're the Oyashiro-sama Rena talked about?

Stupid! Who'd believe that?

Mion, one of our relatives said a long time ago

that there's a hidden well in this underground torture room

and a secret path that leads outside.

If you keep that attitude up,

I'll have to ask the hideous granny again with the whip.

B...Beyond there, in that dark cell.

I see.

They hid this well.

Have you gone down here before?

I don't even want to.

Of course,

since it's said that corpses are thrown out there after the torture.

S...Shion, are you letting Granny fall?

I'm not letting her fall.

I'm throwing her away.

She's already dead.

It's horrible.

Shion, how could you do such a thing?

Who knows?

Satoshi?

Are you taking revenge?

Hey, Mion.

Now that I think back,

I think I had a reason to kill the hideous granny.

Do you know why?

It's not just because she's the one behind Satoshi-kun's murder.

It's because she lied.

You said it too, didn't you?

That if I tore off my nails, all would be forgiven.

That's why I tore off my nails. Three of them.

That was supposed to be my responsibility, right?

But that promise wasn't kept.

Satoshi-kun was still erased.

Why? What's the meaning of this?

That time, after he vanished, you came to me and said

that the responsibility for our relationship had been settled.

And you also said

the Sonozakis didn't know anything about his disappearance.

Y...Yeah, that's really...

You lied!

Lied!

Liar!

You!

Give me back Satoshi-kun! Give him back!

Give him back!

Mion, sorry for frightening you.

If you really didn't know as you said, then I won't torment you.

Don't worry.

But if you were also lying,

then it will no longer matter what happens to you, right?

Hello, Sonozaki residence.

Sorry to call you so early. This is Kimiyoshi.

Is your grandmother still sleeping?

Yes, it seems she's tired from yesterday.

I'm letting her rest awhile.

Then could you place a message next to her pillow?

Yes.

Let's see, regarding yesterday, could you tell her we set

an emergency meeting at five in the shrine assembly room?

I understand. I'll tell her.

Sonozaki residence.

Mion-san? Good morning, this is Kasai.

Kasai...san? Good morning.

Is Shion-san still there?

Shion is just washing her face.

I'll get her.

Kasai? Good morning!

Good morning, Shion-san.

Do you have a way to return to Okinomiya?

Yeah, I'll manage, so don't worry.

Anyway, have you heard?

Heard what?

Why the two sacrifices last night were cursed by Oyashiro-sama.

No.

Well, from what I heard last night,

it seems they picked the lock and snuck into the ritual tool shrine.

How foolish.

To tell you the truth... I was there too.

You went in?

Yes, I was invited in by Takano-san.

Takano-san, Tomitake-san, me, and a boy named Keiichi-kun.

Shion-san, how are you planning to show responsibility this time?

Well... How about tearing off five fingernails?

I'm sorry.

But I grew up in Okinomiya because Granny hated me,

and was trapped in an academy, so Hinamizawa isn't familiar to me.

Shion-san, I am on your side.

But there are things that even I cannot stand up for.

Kasai...

Sorry, Sis is here, so I have to go.

Man.

Not good.

Calm down. Why should I panic now?

If I act like Mion, then Shion will disappear.

Since I told him Shion entered the ritual tool shrine,

people will think that she was spirited away by the demon.

The only one left would be Maebara Keiichi.

It might be a good chance to lure the enemy.

Kei-chan, sorry, but I'll use you as prey.

Maebara Keiichi suddenly disappeared one day.

Then it failed.

I need to be careful not to miss when the enemy latches on.

Kei-chan.

Mion, what's the matter?

You don't look good.

I got caught up in a family gathering yesterday.

And had some...

A hangover? How old are you?

Leave me alone.

I'm really not feeling well.

Oh, yeah. Kei-chan.

Did you see Tomitake-san and Takano-san last night?

Um... I...I don't know.

He sucks at acting and lying.

I see.

Then I have another question.

Then did you see Shion yesterday?

Didn't you ask that yesterday?

Did I?

Then that means Mion asked him?

Last night?

Damn, when I asked her,

she said she didn't know about us entering the ritual tool shrine.

Well, I'm glad you didn't see anyone.

Well...

I thought I might get a different answer if I asked again.

Then I'll let them know that you weren't involved in anything bad.

I'll tell everyone.

Everyone?

Now I've seeded Kei-chan with doubt and fear.

But look at the way he reacted.

Now I'll be Shion and keep an eye on him.

Oh? Mion-chan?

Well, everyone,

thank you for gathering despite your busy schedules.

We'll begin first with the village headman's greeting.

Village headman, please.

Forgive me for remaining seated.

The village headman's greeting was long and boring.

But when he started to talk about the serial mysterious deaths

from five years ago, the room became silent.

Mion-chan, did Oryo-san say anything?

I am Sonozaki Mion, the Sonozaki head's representative.

I came today in place of the head, Oryo.

I'll be fine.

"That" is inside me too, because we're twins.

Unfortunately, Oyashiro-sama's curse has occurred for the fifth year in a row.

This is quite depressing.

Does anyone know why the curse occurred again this year?

Yes, it's because the ritual tool shrine's taboo was broken,

with shoes invading the holy ground and bringing impurity.

What's that?

Those fools!

Those cursed fools!

Even the usually calm Kimiyoshi?

There's no mistake.

The person who links Granny and Oyashiro-sama's curse,

the person who conveys her hidden intention, is in this room.

I ask for silence.

Come now. Silence, silence.

Four thieves snuck into the ritual tool shrine. There are two more.

Those two violators are Sonozaki Shion and Maebara Keiichi.

Sonozaki Shion has already been...

Everyone was frighteningly apathetic and emotionless.

What about the other, Maebara Keiichi?

Not yet.

Um, can you stop by my house?

Is Oryo-san calling me?

Yes, it seems she wants to tell you something in person.

Granny said she'll change and come here.

Oh, that's fine. I'll wait here patiently.

I think it's about Shion.

Shion-chan? Where is she now?

In the basement.

I see. Well, she did go into the ritual tool shrine...

But I also feel sad for Shion.

She's always been kept away from Hinamizawa.

She must've known it was wrong,

but she probably didn't know it was a big deal.

Mion-chan, Shion-chan is feeling sorry, isn't she?

Yes, but at this rate, she might be spirited away by the demon

like Hojo Satoshi was last year.

Don't worry. As long as Shion-chan is feeling sorry,

she won't be spirited away by the demon. Leave it to me.

Really?

Thank goodness.

Gramps Kimiyoshi was on my side after all.

Unlike that cursed Hojo brat, I'm sure she'll be forgiven.

"Hojo brat"?

We can't help the Hojo family.

They tried to sell the entire village.

It makes sense for the entire family to be cursed.

But gramps, I thought Satoshi-kun's case

was overlooked since Shion took responsibility last year?

Responsibility? For what?

You know, the three nails.

Those three were for Kasai-san, Yoshiro-san, and Shion-chan,

or so I heard.

It can't be.

The third nail wasn't for Satoshi-kun?

And after that, Mion came and said everything would be forgiven?

I wonder why Hojo Satoshi-kun had to be spirited away by the demon?

Satoshi-kun's parents did try to sell the village,

but what sin did he commit?

I don't need to even ask. The three great families decided it.

N...No, Mion-chan.

The Hojos are cursed no matter what.

We don't care what happens to the Hojos.

The Hojos are filthy.

That type of thinking spread and infected everyone's thoughts.

I cannot forgive your existence.

People like you accused his family and blamed them so.

I feel so bad for him. What did he do?

He didn't do anything. He was just part of the Hojo family.

Then why?

Why did the curse, the spell, have to fall upon him?

What sin did Satoshi-kun commit?
