Sorry, Shion. What did you just say?

It seems Takano-san and Tomitake-san died yesterday.

Takano-san was burned.

Tomitake-san clawed at his own throat.

I found out this morning when my father called a relative.

But there was no news about that.

Of course it wouldn't air.

Whenever something involves Oyashiro-sama's curse,

I've heard my family pressures the police behind the scenes.

N...No way!

Kei-chan, I've told you before that Oyashiro-sama's curse

might be carried out by the villagers, didn't I?

That means it doesn't matter if someone's killed in Hinamizawa

due to Oyashiro-sama's curse on the night of the Cotton Drifting Festival.

H...How could that be forgiven?

Who in the world is doing that?

Anyone who wants to fulfill the hideous granny's intentions

could be a suspect.

And the tragedy that occurs each Cotton Drifting night

will be resolved as Oyashiro-sama's curse.

What are you going to do?

I have nothing to do with this! What'll you do?

How'll you take responsibility? Are you listening...

You're annoying. Idiot.

It melted thanks to you.

Kimiyoshi residence.

This is Sonozaki. Did the village headman return?

Oh, Mion-chan?

I've called around, but I can't find him.

It's worrisome.

I wonder where my father is chitchatting.

I talked to Granny after you called earlier,

and she said to get the youth corps to search for him.

At this hour?

And whether he's missing hasn't been settled yet.

Since it's after the Cotton Drifting, she said we should take it seriously.

Oryo-san said that?

Yes.

Then let's do that.

If we still can't find him, I'll report it to the police in the morning.

I'll go there too as Granny's representative.

Bye.

Well, then.

Yum.

EYE OPENING

CHAPTER FIVE: COLD HANDS

{OP}

{Episode}

The village is panicking right now looking for you.

Should I lengthen the chain a bit?

For each question you answer, I'll lengthen the chain one space.

I think you'll feel better if the chain is three spaces wider.

Oh, I'm sorry. You can't talk even if you wanted to.

I...I don't know, Shion-chan.

I really don't know anything.

Even whether Satoshi-kun is dead or alive?

Yeah.

Then what's your opinion as the Kimiyoshi family head?

I...I'm sorry.

I'm not trying to make you mad.

I...I'm thinking about it.

Then about Satoshi-kun...

Do you think he's alive?

Do you think he's dead?

I think it's difficult to believe that he's alive.

That's right, isn't it?

He wasn't erased due to the sin of killing his aunt,

but just because he was part of the Hojo family.

But I heard the aunt's murderer

was a drug addict who was caught before.

And that he had already died.

I'm thinking that was a scapegoat.

Th...That's...

But for what?

If they wanted it to seem like he was spirited away by the demon,

then they probably didn't want the police investigation to go on.

Who didn't?

Oryo-san is the only one who can do something

like fooling the police by using a scapegoat.

You've heard many rumors, haven't you?

Like the kidnapping of the construction minister's grandson?

Was that really a kidnapping?

I heard he was spirited away by the demon

and was found deep in the mountains.

I've heard that was also on Oryo-san's orders.

Dam construction was terminated,

so they released the grandson.

The members of the old alliance, like myself, know all about it.

So that hideous granny, the three great families,

and the dam construction alliance really were a big deal.

Oh, how scary.

So, who had Satoshi-kun spirited away by the demon?

I don't know.

It's an unwritten law not to ask who committed the act.

But how can one person be killed with no corpse found?

It can't be...

Satoshi-kun!

Satoshi-kun...

Shion, you've finally found me.

Satoshi-kun... Satoshi-kun!

I'm sorry, Satoshi-kun...

I'm sorry... I'm sorry!

You don't need to apologize.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Satoshi-kun...

I'll go there too.

I'm going to jump, so catch me, Satoshi-kun!

Well...

I can't?

Live.

Live?

What fun is it to live alone?

I want to be with you!

Be with you forever!

I found him. Satoshi-kun is at the bottom of the well, huh?

I think so. That's the only place I could think of.

You weren't there when Satoshi-kun was killed, right?

Right. If I had been there, I would've definitely stopped it.

I would've at least asked that his life be spared.

Liar!

Save him! Why didn't you save him?

You could have! You could have!

Why? Why?

Oh, Mi-chan, are you sleepy? Are you?

Yeah... I went to sleep around three.

Th...Three?

Hey, there's a limit to how late you can stay up.

Oh? Could it be the village headman still hasn't been found?

We searched with the youth corps last night at Furude Shrine, but...

You have lots to take care of, huh?

No, no. This is nothing.

I'm known to have great endurance, you know.

Looks like the enemy hasn't contacted him yet.

I'll call him again as Shion tonight.

Satoko-chan, Rika-chan, good morning!

Good morning to you.

Good morning to you all. Ni-paa.

Wow! So cute! You're cuter than ever today!

I'm gonna take you home!

Furude Rika,

the last survivor of the Furude family and the current head.

But I can't believe a kid who's never invited to meetings

can carry out the curse as the head of one of the great families.

Hey, can you come with me for a sec?

Mew?

So, as Furude family head, how much do you know?

Are you talking about Tomitake and the others?

I knew it.

Because she knows about an incident that was never public,

it seems the title of Furude family head isn't just decoration.

All I can say is that it's Oyashiro-sama's curse.

I know that.

Then it isn't over yet, right?

There are two more. Have you heard what will happen to those two?

Hey, have you heard?

I don't think it really matters.

How could it not matter?

You know that's not considered responsibility.

I think if they truly felt bad about it, then that is what matters.

Huh? How lame is that?

The last Furude head, and you're too lenient.

Don't tell me you don't get how great the sin is

to violate the ritual tool shrine!

The shrine is an important place to Oyashiro-sama.

You shouldn't go in there without permission.

So you understand.

The four of them brought impurity there.

They're bad kittens. Meow.

That's right. They're bad kittens.

We captured two and punished them. There are two more.

Meow.

How should they show responsibility, Miss Furude Head?

I want to forgive the two kittens.

I'm saying that's not responsibility!

Mew. I don't understand the word "responsibility."

Oyashiro-sama wouldn't get mad if people peeked inside the shrine.

Huh? What are you saying?

You can't look in there because lots of scary tools are inside.

So, we try not to show anyone.

I bet the people who saw them were scared.

So, if they feel bad, then it's okay.

That's not for you to decide!

That's for Oyashiro-sama!

I'm Oyashiro-sama's priestess.

So what?

You're saying you heard Oyashiro-sama's voice and checked?

I can't believe a kid like you is the Furude head.

How regrettable.

I don't understand what you're angry about.

Don't act like you don't know.

Damn!

The Kimiyoshi head had to display responsibility.

That's why he disappeared.

The only one left is Maebara Keiichi.

I'll have the Furude family take care of him.

I don't know anything.

If something happens to Maebara Keiichi,

then she's as guilty as Granny.

At that time, I'll show her misery and kill her.

I wonder if Gramps Kimiyoshi died already.

I loved him.

All the people I love disappear one by one.

Satoshi-kun.

Satoko should have died.

That's right.

It could've been any Hojo.

Latching on to Satoshi-kun and causing him pain.

How dare she be so attached to him and cry all the time.

How much better would it have been if she had died?

If so, then Satoshi-kun would be in pain.

Even though he'd be set free, he would feel hurt.

But time can heal that pain.

I can heal that pain.

Then... Then...

I came to get some soy sauce.

Oh, soy sauce, huh?

I brought a bottle for the soy sauce.

It's okay. I'll pour it in for you, so wait here.

I'm pretty good at pouring soy sauce in with a funnel.

O...Okay. Then...

Huh? No footsteps?

Mew.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

She's playing by exactly matching my footsteps?

Ni-paa.

What's she trying to do?

We still have a lot, so take as much as you want.

Ow! It hurts!

Ow!

Fine!

You wanna be crushed?

Hey, hey, how long are you gonna stick around my house?

If you're not gonna come, then I will!

You little...

Take that.

Let's find out what kind of drug this is with your body.

How ridiculous. Hilarious.

I'll see how long it'll take for you to die.

But then I'll miss the fun of torturing you.

Okay, I've decided. Shall we change stages?

To the fun, fun underground torture room?

Oh?

You still have that much strength.

It wouldn't be fun if you didn't.

I need you to be conscious until I stab nails into your fingers.

Unfortunately, I will reject your offer.

You torture freak.

That's more like the Furude head.

But how are you going to retaliate with that wobbly body?

It's all you can do just to stand.

You're right. As you say, this is all I can do.

But if torture's what's in store for me,

then I'd rather leave.

Leave?

Do it if you can!

I won! I won!

I beat the ones who killed Satoshi-kun!

Sonozaki residence.

Hello, how are you? This is Hojo.

Oh, Satoko. What's up?

Sorry for calling so late. Is Rika still over there?

Yeah, she's here.

Oh, she's still there? It's already dinnertime.

Hey, Satoko.

I actually made too much food. So I'm having Rika-chan eat here.

Oh, is that so?

You should come too. There's enough for you too.

What? But...

Rika-chan's already eating.

Oh, that Rika. Well then...

I'll clean up and leave. Sorry for interrupting.

Yeah. I'll be waiting.
