June 21, half past ten in the evening

"The cicadas are chirping, people are broken, it's really an interesting summary" "Takano Sansi" lay on the treetops and watched the rain "The despair of human beings only needs a little medium to explode, it's really terrifying~"

"Although it was said that this heavy rain fell to meet the requirements of the reproduction time period, but in this case, he has already seen all the mysteries clearly" "Takano Sanshi" smiled and shook his head, "Well, forget it, anyway, the two of us will talk about it eventually"

"This appearance is no longer needed, the little shrine god will not be afraid of this anymore" took off the mask called "disguise", whether it was a human or a demon or a devil, a man or a woman or a god, he was just the "despair" itself without appearance

"If the murderer doesn't kill people, how far is it from death?" he laughed, jumping off the treetops and going to the finish line to prepare the final answer, although he thought he might lose, but he was surprisingly lifeless

-- Maybe it's because I ruined someone's life

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Takano three or four? That woman was treated in a psychiatric hospital during the disaster two years ago," Keiichi Maehara couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Yu said in the mouth, "I heard that I was crazy, and although I escaped by luck, I was forcibly institutionalized because I was homeless, and I am still living in a hospital bed."

"Sure enough, she was saved... But the consequences of such a case are serious! Yu Iri suddenly cheered up, "Keiichi-kun!" Say it's a big deal! In that case, there is only one prisoner..."

"Ah, I know," Keiichi Maehara nodded solemnly, "Let Shizunobu Muroi leave us alone and go to the shrine a few days earlier, and there is only one person who can command Meine and Shiyin to hold the Miryu Festival."

"It's pear blossom sauce," Ryunomiya Rina looked up at Rika Furu, who bowed to the third and thanked her, "I was surprised when she would know Shaduko, because Shaduko was a person who was saved in advance, and she was taken away from Hinamisawa because of Wu Shijun before the Mianliu Festival, although I don't know what the reason is, but our memory should only stay on the day of the Mianliu Festival now."

"It's too bad to be the enemy of Rika " Keiichi Maehara scratched his hair a little distressed

"Don't say frustrating things at the beginning, okay," Nana, who didn't understand from beginning to end, grinned, "With me, you can rest assured"

"Everyone, we had a great chat," a familiar laugh suddenly came from behind him, "But unfortunately, it's better for you not to move around until the end of the Mianliu Festival."

"Shiyin?" Keiichi Maehara and the others hurriedly turned around, and when the girl named Shion Sonozaki was smiling at them with a smile, if he ignored the strong men behind him, then this smile would still be passable

"That's why I said that Keiichi-kun is not reliable at all.,I shouldn't have let you go with me when I went to the shrine for the first time.,But my sister just wants to be scared of some ghost reasons" Sonozaki Shiyin pretended to be very helpless and spread her hands "No way.,Then let my sister help her do it for her."

"Oh~? Can you tell me the reason in detail just now" Ryunomiya Rina picked up a handmade knife from the stall at any time, "Rena, I confessed to each other affectionately with Keiichi-kun just now, right?" ”

"Nope! Wait a minute! That can't be ......."

"Hairi can prove it, too! Keiichi-kun and Miss Rena are in love with each other! ”

"Ah, I'm going to die when I go back......"

"Huh? Chaidao girl, you just talk nonsense with that kind of knife" Shiyin Sonozaki's expression became distorted for a moment, "Okay, if you want to come, try it, I'll help that stupid sister kill her rival here!" ”

"Rena hasn't done it for a long time, so if you have the ability, come up" Ryunomiya Rena also began to fight against Shion Sonozaki, and the conflict between the two was instantly intensified to the point of no return

"Everyone, hurry up and follow the plan! The two of them are no joke! Keiichi Maehara hurriedly motioned for Yuiri and Nana to run

"Okay, you can go and help Mengmeng delay time according to the plan, there is another one here that needs to be dealt with" Nana suddenly stretched out her hand to block someone's path "I'm sorry, but what are you going to do to the students"

"You guys are really bad enough, obviously just wait" Muroi Shizunobu, who seemed to have nothing to do with this matter, opened his eyes slightly, and the pupils no longer belonged to human beings, "No way, the teacher will come and educate you"

“…… Late-night classes・AVI"

"Hey! What the hell does that mean? Why do you even have to say it! ”

"Kyu, Kyu, Kyu, Kyu-kun! Even if you go to the city, you can't indulge in that kind of thing! Knowing this, Hairi blushed and began to slap Keiichi Maehara

"Life at the shrine is so colorful!" Keiichi Maehara said this, and then grabbed Hairi hard and ran into the crowd with her

"Then come on, in order to escape this endless reincarnation" Ryugu Rena and Nana opened up their full state, and then they both laughed

"Don't get in the way!!!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――-――

"It's raining... Sure enough, at that time, I was tricked to "Chong stood in the middle of the mountain path and looked down" The man deliberately made me think that time had been recreated, but in fact, the day I asked them not to go to the shrine should have been the right time, and he deliberately made me choose the path that I didn't want to go to the mountain in order to fulfill a certain purpose."

"The nearby plants all say that someone did evoke the rain...... I'm sorry, but I can find out like this at that time," Mengmeng decisively apologized

"It's boring to apologize for the past... In short, if he wants to reproduce the disaster of the Miryu Festival, he must reproduce it along with the mudslide, so we will pull him along, "Chong roughly estimated the distance and direction in the night rain," and according to this amount of rain, a flash flood will break out in about an hour, and the flooded place will be in the direction of the wooden house."

"What to do"

"Let the mudslide flood Hinamizawa," Chong said, before pointing to a spot on the mountain path, "If you can make the residents of Hinamizawa flee the village in panic without killing anyone, then the secret of the Miryu Festival will be revealed."

"You believe that sister's words very much," Mengmeng smiled without malice, "Okay, tell me what to do, there are still a lot of vines in the leylines that can help me"

"As I said, I only seek the best solution in doing things, and since this method is simpler, then I will naturally use this" Chong Mo turned the wheel called fate, which was much easier for him than killing

-- Because at this moment I no longer belong to human beings

"I am the ruler of the throne of the god of war, I am the one who defeats the strong with the weak, and even the abuser who defeats all the thousands, I still receive the grace of the gods even if I do not pay tribute to the sky, and I still get the protection of the eight stone pillars on the ground, the sky! O unfaithful to the throne of God! I command you with thousands of thunderbolts, and I judge you with thousands of heavens! ”

"Let it come down until all things are destroyed!" A violent thunderclap sounded in the clouds, and the rain and electricity seemed to have died down under their divine power

"Hit!"

“―――！” The sound turned into a physical arrow, a "goat" roared in the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, thunder smashed the rock from high in the sky, which was the divine power passed down to the god of war

"This won't stop until the seven thousand bolts are finished... Tighten the ears and eyes" Chong slightly collapsed and signaled to Yumemu to protect his eyes and ears, a real natural disaster that will not stop without venting all his anger, if it is used in Tokyo City, it may be able to destroy about two-thirds of the streets, Chong will be difficult to make the mudslide deviate from the direction, but it is still very simple if the mudslide floods the entire area

(If it weren't for such a priesthood...... The other nine abilities were also roaring excitedly because of the full strength of the "goat", and it is not difficult to imagine how much disaster it would have caused if this ability had been used without will, so if one day Yuun Chong fell into the impulse of reversal......

"Maybe," he muttered softly, and then Chong continued to watch as Wan Lei gradually led people into "despair".

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――-

"It's not the same as I said..."Furue Rika looked up at the obviously unusual thundercloud outside the village, as long as you keep an eye on it, it is not difficult to see that there is a mysterious power that does not belong to the human world in it, this rain is like this, and this ritual is also the same

"Meiyin, let's prepare in advance," Furute Rika lowered her head and said to Sonozaki Meiyin, who was sitting in a daze, "Although it is said that something abnormal may happen, at least it can achieve its purpose"

"Unfortunately, this is no longer possible," came the laughter of the once companion from behind the high platform, and then the old hand pear blossom was thrown to the ground

"Keiichi-kun ......"

"That's enough, Rika, it's time for the farce you planned to end" Keiichi Maehara pressed Rika's wrist to the ground to make her unable to move" Meine was just blinded by you, and now that she has been persuaded by Yuri, she won't listen to you"

"Even Yu Iri ......!" Furute Rika's expression darkened for a moment, but then she roared hoarsely again, "Keiichi Maehara!" Why are you stopping me! You know what I'm doing! As long as it succeeds, your parents will be able to come back alive! ”

"We were the only ones who escaped that night! Haven't you ever felt guilty? Furute Rika struggled frantically, while Keiichi Maehara remained silent, "Everyone in the village is dead... The only ones who survived were a few of us children who had lost their homes, and I didn't want this ending! ”

"Do you become the same as Mr. Muroi?"

"How is that possible... It's perfect" Furute Rika saw a glimmer of light because of this question, "Na, Keiichi-kun, do you know? As long as I can let everyone know the true side of the Mianliu Festival, I have prepared a few villagers as sacrifices, and when the time comes, I just need to repeat the so-called killing methods of the ghost and the intestinal flow..."

"What's the difference between that and murder! That's enough! Pear! We're already thankful for you..."Keiichi Maehara yelled to silence her, but by the end his voice had choked up, "I'm not satisfied with it either... But Rika you're tired enough, aren't you? Returning to Hinamisawa again and again with a painful memory、And then save us over and over again.,Time can't be repeated.,What you see.、What you feel is all the truth."

"I don't want to watch my companions suffer, so it's okay even if I do it" Keiichi Maehara held back tears and sympathy back into his eyes, "Look at Rika with wide eyes, this is the reality you want"

“―――！！！” The thunderclouds that hung high in the sky had subsided, but the thunder that followed was the real highlight, the hill for which they had fought and finally triumphed, and then the torrent roared and flooded the village, a catastrophe that could be known without the need to confirm it with eyes

"The mudslide is coming! Run, everyone! I don't know who shouted like this, so the drumming stopped, the dancing stopped, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and even the breathing of the ancient pear blossom stopped

"No ......"

The only plea was not heard, and people belonging to the past began to run in panic, and no one would choose to live and die with Hinamisawa in the face of disaster, ahhhh

"Looks like it worked......" Nana gasped as she leaned against the wooden crate a little exhausted

"Rena can't stand it anymore..."Rena Ryunomiya gasped and barely managed to squeeze out a smile

"I didn't expect it to be useful just shouting!" After Bai Ya appeared in mid-air, she said excitedly: "Finally! ”

"Do you know what this is doing......" Shiyin Sonozaki with bruises on her face lay aside and reluctantly spoke, "Rika she's here to save all the talents of Hinamizawa..."

"Rena just needs you to survive..."Ryunomiya Reina stood up and barely held up Shion Sonozaki up, and Bai Ya also straightened Shinobu Muroi, who was constantly struggling

"Your village can't be saved, the dead are always the dead," Bai Ya whispered next to Muroi Shizunobu, "Your wife is also very satisfied with her current life, isn't she?" Don't look for the path to happiness for all."

"Toshio, they didn't escape from the village at that time...... "Shizunobu Muroi seemed to be talking in a dream, "It's just me and Sako who survived... If this place can be saved, then the outfield village will also be saved......"

"They'll be happy for the two of you in the underworld, I promise" Bai Ya gently closed her eyes for Shizunobu Muroi, and the group began to flee towards the outside world

"Well, yes, they will definitely be happy for us" Rena Ryunomiya smiled and shed two lines of tears, sometimes the dead are not the most painful, and those who survive after dying are the most painful

-- Goodbye, everyone

postscript

"Ah......h

"Why... Why don't you hate me! Rika Furute stood in the crowd and shouted, "I only let Keiichi and them be saved!" Ignoring your thoughts and just choosing to save my friend, it would have been enough if I had been reincarnated a few more times! Obviously, it would be nice to suffer for a little longer! ”

"Hinamisawa is crying," and an indifferent voice suddenly came from the crowd, "It's crying, someone is constantly reenacting painful history and cannibalism on it"

"People are crying, birds are crying, insects are crying, and the natural land is crying" Suddenly there was a crisp "pop" sound, which was the sound of paper fans closing together, "Hinamizawa's life has long come to an end in your reincarnation, and after providing you with the last help to escape, this is already dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected, this is the theorem"

"Everyone here is supposed to die, you've done a good job, little girl" The people around her seemed to applaud and laugh for her, "You have supported too many people's expectations with your immature shoulders, Hinamizawa complains to me every year about how many people are praying to it, and what it has not done has been done through your hands"

"You don't have to cry about how many people you have given up, you should be happy about how many people you have saved" A person passed by her, and it seemed to be the reflection of the pear flower named Furute, "Your power of reincarnation will disappear forever with Hinamizawa's death, and you don't have to blame yourself for it anymore"

"As one of Hinamizawa's relics, let's live well" The paper fan gently knocked on the head of the ancient hand Rika, and then woke up from the dream, leaving only a piece of loneliness

"Rika-chan has woken up!"

"Really! I knew Pear Blossom was going to be fine! When Furute Rika opened her eyes, everyone gathered around her, the sun shining on her body, the cool breeze around her around her face, everyone in the village would smile and pinch her face, but it was all a dream now

"What time is it..."

"Two years later, on the evening of January 16th", he quickly got a reply that was neither salty nor light, which made Furute Rika smile bitterly

"Really... The dream finally woke up," Furute Rika stood up with everyone's support, "Hari...? ”

"She's been left in Hinamisawa forever..."Bai Ya shook her head, "She is Hinamizawa's patron saint, and once Hinamisawa dies, she will naturally die with her..."

"Well... Indeed, she didn't leave with me that night," Rika Furute smiled bitterly, and then she looked around again, the same number of people as when she came

"Ah...... Ahh!!h Furute Rika finally couldn't help but sit on her knees and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”

"Big husband, no one will blame you" Sonozaki Meiyin gently hugged her in her arms, and then Keiichi Maehara, Reina Ryunomiya, and Shion Sonozaki also hugged her "Even if it's just us, survival is the most important thing"

"What about the others," Nana looked around, and there was no worry in her tone, "I'm sure it'll be fine."

"I said I was going to really end the matter," Mengmeng chuckled

"Sure enough... Speaking of which, what should I do now, the road is blocked by mudslides" Nana looked out of the village with some distress, and even the place where she settled was barely cleared

"Ding-hey? I'm Nimfu, I'm here with the Almighty Angel Icarus of α as agreed, you stay where you are and don't move, I'll go down with her to rescue you right away" As an answer, Mengmeng turned on her phone and played the recording of the call not long ago to Nana

"It's another good thing that person did," Nana seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "The limelight has all been overshadowed"

"yes, it's all covered," Mengmeng chuckled and seemed to mean something

"Everything...... It's all gone."

The wreath that fell to the ground withered little by little and disappeared with the wind in the dust called "history," and in the night, it seemed that two children were holding hands and stepping step by step towards Hinamisawa in his dream......

Note 1: Uh-huh! I'm done writing it.,I don't know if everyone is dissatisfied with this ending.,Tonight will be the final "answer".,Let everyone's painstaking guesses get the answer tonight! Stay tuned!
