Episode 15: Raised Suspicions
[Bird noises]
Rem: That's the sound of a hornbill......? If we're still in Japan, that means it's early summer in the month of June.
Rem: At any rate, let's go out to the main road.
Aria:.........
Lingyin: Just a minute, Aria? Are you alright? You don't look so good.
Aria: It's.....nothing.
[The group reach a small village]
Lingyin: Wow, it's a countryside village!
Rem: The air tastes so clean here too.
Aria:...........!
Lingyin: Aria?
Aria: It's nothing!...... Just in case, this is the first time we've been here, right?
Lingyin: Of course it is! We don't know anything about this world. We only even came here because we were chasing Dr.Shinigami.
Aria: That's right! I know..... I know, but..
Aria: (What is this I'm feeling, fear....... disgust? And this miserable feeling of powerlessness....)
[Bird noises]
Rem: Yes, that's right. First of all we should gather information about where we are.
Lingyin: The name of the place is written on the sign. Hina-mi-zawa?
Aria: Sorry Rem! I'm sorry, but I'm going to act alone.
Rem: Huh? What do you mean?
Lingyin: Why are suddenly saying this? Don't you think it's a bad idea to be a jerk?
Aria: Please trust my gut on this! No, it's not just my gut. It's a feeling that's even more credible!
Rem: Alright... If you say so, then I think It's best to do that.
Lingyin: Are you sure?
Rem: Aria Holmes Kanzaki. She's the descendant of Sherlock Holmes, I trust her instincts.
Aria: Thanks Rem. I'll contact if you if anything happens. Well then I'm off!
[Aria leaves]
Meru: Is she still not used to having partners?
Rem: Isn't it the other way round? It's only because she trusts us that she feels she can act independantly.
???: Good afternoon.
???: Your all wearing differnt clothes.... You're not from Hinamizawa, are you? Traveling, maybe? I wonder?
Rem: Yes we just arrived, do you live here?
Rena: Yes, I'm Rena, Rena Ryugu.
???: Oh hey Rena. What's happening?
Rena: Oh, Mii-chan.
Mion: I'm one of Rena's friends, Mion Sonozaki. I hope my kid has been helping you.
Rem: Your kid?
Mion: Oh, I'm the head of the club.........
[The group leaves]
Aria: Alright, they've gone.
Aria: Rena Ryugu and Mion Sonozaki. Why do I feel like I know their names.
Aria: She said she'd show them a famous place. I feel like I know where that is?... I need to make sure!
[With the group]
Rena: This is Furude Shrine. Probably the best place to get a good view?
Lingyin: Heh, nice jump!
Rem: Mion, what's in your pack?
Mion: We're all going to eat lunch together! But it's not just a lunchbox!
[Back with Aria]
Aria: That's right.....this shrine.....
Aria: But how do I know it? This is definitely the first time I've come here......
Aria: I don't understand....
???: Are you one of Rem's friends too?
Aria: !?
Aria: (When did she get so close!? I know I didn't let my guard down.....)
???: Nipai*
Aria: (Why do I feel like I've met this girl too?)
???: Why are you hiding? I want you to come out.
Aria: Huh?......
???: Mion and Rena are good girls. I want you to be good friends with them.
Aria:......
Rika: My name's Rika Furude. Does it sound familiar to you?
Aria: No.....But, I think I know it.....
Rika: Mii. You may be just a little bit different.
Aria: What's different?
Rika: Even I don't know that
Aria: Yes......Well I want to be on my own. Can you keep our meeting here a secret?
Rika: Ok, I will.
Rika: Just one more thing, Mion and Rena. They're very nice girls. I want you to remember that.
Aria:.......Right.
Rika: Then I'll be going back to everyone now. Nipai*
[Back with the group]
Mion: Oh, Rika? Where were you just now?
Rika: I was talking to a cute cat.
Rena: Huh? Where's the cute cat?
Rika: It's already gone.
[Back with Aria]
Aria: First of all Rem and the others seem fine. So next
Aria: No! Someone's here!
[Rustle rustle]
???:........
Aria: (Is that Mion Sonozaki!? No It can't be, she's with the others. So who is that!?)
Aria: Oh no, not this time!
???:..............Who's there?
Aria: I know I must seem suspicious, but can I have a word with you, please?
???: You're not from Hinamizawa, are you?
Arai: Yeah I'm not, and your not Sonozaki Mion, are you?
???: Oh you know Mion?
Aria: I've seen you before. You look like Mion, but you're not her. Who are you?
Shion: I'm Shion Sonozaki, Mion is my sister.
Aria: Shion Yes. You look so much alike. I'm just curious. So, what are you doing here?
Shion: Now It's my turn to ask you a question. Are you interested in the ritual hall of the shrine?
Aria: The shrine's ritual hall?
Aria: (Rituall hall, this sounds familiar........ What is it? I'll ask her about it now.)
Shion: What do you mean, It's not far from here? If there's any reason you'd come out in this direction It would be to see the ritual hall.
Aria: Yes, I am. Are you also interested in the ritual hall?
Aria: (This girl may be of use to Me. If so, I need to stay with her.....! )
Shion: You've come to see the Cotton Drift Festival, haven't you? I know an interesting story about the festival, would you like to hear it?
Aria: The Onigakushi?
Shion: Yes. Every year, at this time of the year, one person dies and one person disappears. In the worship of the Oyashiro, the "Onigakushi" happens.
Aria: ((I think I remember hearing this word too. But it's not clear... Argh! )
Aria: Why are you telling me this?
Shion: The truth of the Onigakushi is in the shrine hall, don't you want to know?
Aria:.....Your going to break in?
Shion: Yes, I need to know. In order to save Satoko.
Aria: Satoko! ? Who's Satuoko?
Shion: If you know Mion, don't you know her too? Satouko's uncle is a thug who makes his living by threats and lies.
Shion: They had been living apart for a while. Suddenly he came back and now beats Satoko every day.
Aria: What a disgusting story! Why don't you just blow him up?
Shion: She believes that If she endures the abuse of her uncle, her brother will come back. She thinks of it as a test of patience.....
Shion: That's why we, as outsiders, can't do anything about it.
Shion: The only person who can save her is her brother, Satoshi. But he's been erased by the Onigakushi......
Aria: And so, by examining the ritual hall we can try to discover the secret of the Onigakushi.
Shion: Satoshi asked me to take care of Satoko. He asked me to do it.....I can't worry about the means.
Aria: Are you sure you should be telling such a personal story to me, a stranger?
Shion: If you tell the people of Hinamizawa what I have done, I will not be able to get away with it.
Aria: I appreciate you being upfront and sincere with me....Okay I'll help you
Shion:......Thank you.
[Aria and Shion go to the shrine]
Aria: Do you know how to open the lock to the ritual hall?
Shion: Yes.
Aria: Then you do it alone during the festival tomorrow, and I'll go to Satoko's house.
Shion: Satoko's uncle should be out.
Aria: In the meantime, I'll sneak into the house and try to find out what's going on.
Shion: Please be careful.
Aria: (Well, this is getting weird. But something's bugging me....I don't know what's going on...)
[Aria goes to Satoko's house]
Aria: There's someone at Satsoko's house......Satoko is at the Cotton Drift Festival, which means it must be her uncle.
Aria: (Well, what should I do. I can't just force my way in and call it a day.
Satoko's Uncle: Enough of that crap! Just go out and play!
Aria: he sound like a very unrefined man. I hope he doesn't come out.
Satoko's Uncle: Satoko! When you get back, I'll make sure make you very happy!
Aria: (That scumbag! I need to get him out of the house somehow.....)
Satoko's Uncle: But before I do that.....
Satoko's Uncle: Let's play with the hiding kitten.
Dr.Shinigami: I know you're there. Why don't you come out?
Aria: What!? Why are you here!?
[Battle map]
Episode 15 Raised Suspicions
Aria: You disguised yourself as her uncle. You were the one who abused Satoko! Why? What were you doing that for?
Dr.Shinigami: Fu fu fu.....Because this village is a bit boring.
Aria: Don't screw with me! Since you showed yourself, I'll make you realize your mistakes!!
Victory: Defeat all enemies. Defeat: Aria is defeated.
[Turn 2]
Dr.Shinigami: You can't do anything by yourself can you? We are far from the festival venue, no help will show up.
Aria: Why you!
[Mion and Shion arrive]
Mion: That's a bit naive, isn't it?
Shion: Aria!
Aria: Shion! and Mion!?
Mion: I heard the story from Shion, your doing this to help Satoko right? As the head of the club, I'd like to thank you!
Shion: I know I can rely on my sister in these situations!
Aria: (Can I trust these two? No, that's not important right now!)
Mion: Who the hell is that guy??
Aria: Have you heard from Rem? This is the criminal we've been looking for! He was pretending to be Satsuko's uncle.
Mion: How dare you hide out in Hinamizawa without saying hello to the second head of the Sonozaki family! I'll teach you some manners!
Shion: We will never forgive you for what you have done to Satoko!
Dr.Shinigami: Let's play together, my beautiful sisters. Come and have a go.
Aria: Watch out! You never know what Dr.Shinigami is going to do!
Mion: You can't be unreasonable with an opponent who can't see inside your head. You can't be a club leader if you're a fool!
[2 turns later]
Dr.Shinigam: It's almost time. This is all the time I can spare.
[Dr.Shinigami vanishes]
Aria: You're trying to run!? I won't let you!
[More enemies spawn]
Aria: Hey, I'm going to stop you!!
[Deploy]
Rem: Aria, we were looking for you!
Aria: Rem! Dr.Shinigami was here! We need to split up and find him!
Rem: Really?
Lingyin: First off we have to beat these guys. I won't let a single one get away!
Meru: Not even one! You're all about to get punished!
[Stage end]
Aria: I'm going to search for Dr.Shinigami!
Mion: Me and Shion are going to check on Rika and Satoko!
Shion: Aria: Let's meet up later!
[The group search for Dr.Shinigami]
Lingyin: No.....He's not here either, huh.
Aria: It's strange, where on earth did he go?
Lingyin: What about you?
Claude: I couldn't find him.
Shion: Rika and Satsuko are safe. But that was a problem.
Rem: We don't have much knowledge of the area. We can't find out much more than this.
Rem: The Cotton Drift festival will soon be over. He might try to pull something on us. Let's be vigilant at the festival site tonight.
Aria: (Damn it, I can't let the perpetrator get away!)
[The next day]
Aria: (In the end, nothing happened last night....)
Shion: Everyone!
Aria: Shion, what's the matter?
Shion: Rika is... Rika is......
Aria: This time it's Rika! What's going on?
Shion: Rika was.... Rika was killed...
Aria: What......?
Shion: Here body was found at the shrine.....With her stomach torn open...
Aria: No way!
[At the shrine]
Shion: At the back of the shrine, is Rika's body.
Aria: (Her guts have been taken out)
Aria: (The Curse of the Oyashiro? But why would the priestess of the shrine that worships it be killed? Surely this is the work of someone else......?
Shion: Why did this?......
Aria: It's The Curse of the Oyashiro
Shion: Huh?
Aria: Rika is dead and Satouko's uncle has disappeared. A girl dies, a man disappears. Isn't this The Curse of the Oyashiro?
Shion: But I can't believe that Riko would be killed. That isn't what Oyashiro would want.
Satoko: Rika, are you here...?
Shion: Satoko!? Don't come over here!
Satoko: Huh, what is this....?
Satoko: Rika!?
Satoko: No, no, no, no, no! !
Shion: Satoko!
[Satoko runs off]
Claude: We have to go after her!
Aria: (She's dead.....again.)
[Claude chases after Satoko]
Satoko: ha, ha, ha........
Satoko: Haa, haa, haa, haa, haa. Ugh, my throat.
Satoko: Rika...you're such a liar.
Satoko: I'm sick of it!
Claude: Satoko! I finally caught up to you!
Satoko: Who is it....?
Claude: Don't worry, I won't do anything, I'm a friend. Please, you need to calm down.
Satoko: Big brother, is that you?
Claude: Big brother? No, no I'm not.
Satoko:......Wrong....
Satoko: You're not my big brother! Die, you bastard!
Satoko: You're going to die!!
Calude: Sa, Satoko!?
Satoko: U.....u...
Satoko: Guha!.... Ga ga.....
Claude: Satoko.....Ugh!?
Claude: Ku, I't hurts..... I can't breathe....
Satoko: Uu...Big brother.......Big brother....
Claude: Why is this.....happening?
[Everyone collapses]
Reporter: A major disaster occurred in the village of Hinamizawa in the city of Shikotsu earlier today.
Reporter: The details are unclear, but it appears that poisonous volcanic gas erupted from an area in the village of Hinamizawa. This turned into a gas flow and hit the entire Hinamizawa area.
Reporter: The extent of the damage is still being assessed. More information will be revealed as soon as it is available.......
