Sotoba Village

Oh my, Megumi-chan.

Are you going somewhere again all dressed up like that?

It's not like you need to dress like that for anywhere out here.

We haven't been getting much milk lately.

How about feeding her another type of grass?

Grass, huh?

Shimizu Megumi, 1st Year High Schooler

By the way, did you hear, Megumi-chan?

The Buddhist stone idols around the village were destroyed. Takemura

I can't believe it! It was probably some rude kids from around here. I'm in a hurry!

Who on earth cares about some stone idols?

They're just rocks!

I hate this village!

There's not even one elegant café!

I'm getting out of here!

I'm going to an urban university as soon as I graduate!

Then I'll be recruited into the world of show business and party in clubs at night!

There are only two things important to me in this village.

First is the huge castle that suddenly sprung up after the old mansion was broken down.

So pretty... I wonder what kind of people will move in?

And second is...

The boy who moved from the city, Yuuki-kun! Yuuki Natsuno, 1st Year High Schooler

Natsuno-kun, I've put some tea on for you!

Why don't you take a break?

Okay.

He's so cool.

It'd be my dream to live in that castle with him!

God!

Sotoba Village, Yamairi District

Keep Out, Do Not Enter

Murasako Mieko

Murasako Hidemasa You were the one who discovered the bodies, young priest?

Yes, sir.

This morning, I went to Upper Sotoba to oversee the death of a relative of this family.

Oh right, I heard about that.

Let's see... Gotouda Shuuji-san, was it? Takami, Local Police Officer of Sotoba Village

I heard he had a bad summer cold.

Yes, sir.

After I bid some prayers to his soul, Gotouda Shuuji

I tried calling here but no one answered...

So you came here personally.

Yes, sir.

After I found Mieko-san and Hidemasa-san's bodies,

I hastened over to their neighbor, Ookawa-san, to use his phone.

But he too was... Ookawa Gigorou

I see. Did you happen to see anyone else in the vicinity?

No, sir.

I see. Thank you for cooperating-

Pardon me, but what was the cause of death?

According to the autopsy, Mieko-san died of natural causes.

The other two had decayed too much for us to determine conclusively,

but because there were no signs of blunt-force trauma and some limbs were missing,

we think it could have been a stray dog's doing.

A stray dog?

Yeah.

There's been a lot of sightings of them lately.

Well, thank you for cooperating.

Seishin, Temple's Resident Priest These houses are all that make up Yamairi District, right?

Yes, and now the district's uninhabited.

Ozaki Toshio, Director of Ozaki Clinic

I was there at the autopsy. I still can't smell a damn thing.

Natural causes, huh? I thought it was a murder or something.

Old folks can't handle this kind of heat.

But no matter how you look at it, the old lady died much later than the two geezers.

What?

Interesting, isn't it?

That means old Lady Mieko lived with a corpse in the house for god knows how many days.

Monday, August 8th, Good Luck Day

Good morning, Megumi-chan! Tanaka Kaori, 3rd Year Middle Schooler

What?!

Huh?

What do you want?

You're going to school, right?

It's bad enough that I have to take classes during summer break,

but why does she have to come, too?

Don't worry about it. I have morning practice too.

Anyway, did you hear?

The temple's young priest discovered three bodies in Yamairi!

Enough already, who cares?

There's only old people here, so obviously there's lots of deaths.

But...

Kaori, Megumi! Check this out!

The deaths in Yamairi made the news! Tanaka Akira, 1st Year Middle Schooler

Look! Three Elderly People Die in Isolated Village

That's... it!

What's wrong, Megumi-chan?

Nothing, okay?!

It says it happened in the mountains near Mizobe Village!

Geez, geez, geez!

They just don't get it!

Yuuki-kun...

Good morning, Yuuki-kun.

Looking towards the south again? Towards the city.

She's here again?

Ignoring me again?

I guess it's because you hate me, isn't it?

The bus hasn't come yet, huh?

I want to leave this place...

Yes! Yuuki-kun finally noticed me!

Tuesday, August 9th, Unlucky Morning

Yano Kanami, Owner of Chigusa Drive-in

What the...

What's going on?

Yano Tae, Kanami's Mother Mom, I'll check it out.

Honestly...

Turn off your damn lights! Stop honking too!

Do you know what time it is?

Takasago Moving Company A moving truck?

I'm so sorry!

I got lost and have been going back and forth who knows how many times, but still can't find my way.

Where are you trying to go?

Thank you for the help! It's a village called Sotoba.

Sotoba?

Yes.
