Ooishi giving him a bit of spending money? Well, that's nice of him, but didn't he win all of their money at mahjong night? =P
There we go. Incentive to play Mahjong again, XD
Severed phones? Oh this is not good. Ooishi, this man needs an escort, NOW
Creepy Rika time.
God, if there weren't so much unease and tension, this back-and-forth would be super adorkable.
...Watanagashi...
Wow, the festival picks up steam after the murders happen? interesting note. Thanks psychic Rika.
So saving the grandchild as Akasaka did, instead of either possible amicable release or death of the kidnapped kid... results in the Hinamizawa murders? Rika dies in the Keiichi year? Foreman, Satoko's parents, Rika's parents, Satoko's aunt, ???.
I just want to hug Rika ;_; Rika knows all this is to come.
---next chapter, 1985 ---
Ahhh, robed Ooishi go away!
Memorial service? Did something happen to his wife? His child?
Nooo....
He says had he just gone home, things would be different. I posit that had he made a phone call, she'd be okay? Or did Rika-chan save her from being killed in aother way. The first two victims of Watanagashi... the wife killed, the baby disappeared??? And the baby is BEATORIIICHE
Oh. Rika gave him... one last night of hope. Okay. Time travel is not to be questioned, things are ordained.... but what if- *stops, this fragment is as it is, even if Rika could've told him some Signs-level propethic words like 'Swing away' and prevented Aka's injury from being all that bad so he could've calle din the afternoon, huh???*
These are... the murders of the third game? Or do these happen every game?
Discover the truth - KOMA.
"Hey, Ooishi. You've been in a lot of this episode. Better watch out!" *destroyed by Satoko and Mion*
Is Rika a witch? Shion denies magic, Rena believes it's a possibility, SIGN THE CONTRACT BATTLER
Shion pretends to help Satoko only to whisk away all the main characters.
Noble Irie, undone by maid Satoko... shameful!
There's somebody who resents Shion for appearing? How is turning off the li... liiii..... oh my god... XD XD XD Keiichi only appears if the lights are turned off because he doesn't have a sprite, WTF this is amazing.
The dawn of perverted and cutesy Higurashi? Where Rena wants in? Sounds like two certain ladies reading through Umineko thinking lewdly about Battler/Beatrice innuendos and hot butler tea time... ^_~
Oh, that was Irie speaking, not Rena, to go with Keiichi. My bad. It's dark, and excited Irie and excited Rena sound kind of the same.
MINISKIRT NURSE OUTFIT Hauuuu~ ...I also thought Takano was Irie for a moment. So... IUrie in the miniskirt nurse. My bad there too. So many mistakes!
XD XD XD, Tommy and Kuraudo arrive! They can be at the afterparty with the lights off too! Oh my god, this is the best. Now the principal and Akasaka joining with Keii- Demon Lord K.
Chie has swords? But Chie uses her fists and her feet in battle, kicking enemies out of fights entirely!
The church? The Black something? The Seventh Hour? What is happeniiiing?~!
And a careful warning that the Answer arcs begin next, and if we want to play the game to its fullest, we should go wild with our theories now before things begin to narrow down. THE MIDPOINT IS REACHED!!!
