Asama was definitely lying

Hina's final story...
Asama was definitely lying

agree, he might not want her to feel guilty

 

[Goodbyefrankenstein]

Hina

 

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

He wasn't lying he was prob into the school nurse.

A Hina story? NOW? Why must you do this to us author?
Yuuma was very careful with his choice of words. I suppose this story symbolizes the permission structure Yuuma needs to go through with the ritual to see his Mother again without the guilt, but also the curse on the coin causing death in the process. That Hina had met Yuuma's mother before confirms she hasn't been gone all that long either.

No I think this is setting up Yumma killing himself in the 100th chapter so Hina would live.

 

[kzaofkkua]

Have they been in Yuuma's house for many days now?

I feel like rather than taking her horror story at face value, I think the implications you can get from it is much more interesting to dissect.
1. If it truly was the ghost of the boy, given we've seen that he was thoughtful and caring of others when he was alive, it's possible that he lied so that she wouldn't blame herself for his death.
2. This one's less likely: one of the three classmates could have had feelings for the boy or our girl MC, and moved the coin to "No" in the end out of spite. Maybe even foul play was involved, who knows?
3. Hina telling a story about unrequited love sends meta-narrative vibes to her very own crush. Maybe she's finally accepting that this relationship she has with Yuuma will bear no fruit.

Oof. although i wonder if it'd count telling the stories/taking turns since yuuma didn't tell all stories, if the point was to die versus summon something, so their total count even 100 might be counted individually? if the author somehow had to extend past 100 lol

Usually telling 100 stories involves a group of people taking turns, and once the 100th one is told they count people and realize there is one extra (the ghost), so I don't think it matters for the count who tells the stories as much as who is listening to them, and the listener is always the same (the unknown entity through which we follow the story).

 

[UncleKaos]

rather sad ghost story. sniffs damn the onion hacking ninjas!

 

[SMAXZO]

I laughed because all that set up....just for a No but also kind of sad, Asama probably said that because he wanted her to move on and be happy..

Well this is a Hina story, so the intended takeaway here is that Asama's ghost was lying when he said he didn't like her so as to spare her the guilt she was feeling. But maybe he really meant he didn't like her because the first thing she did after finding out he'd been killed by the cursed coin she foisted off on him was to immediately gather a posse and create yet another cursed coin.

Or maybe the traffic accident that killed him was actually him getting run over by a truck and his former high school flame just doesn't have the appeal she used to now that he's an isekai protagonist.

 

[Noldalag]

3.

 

[jonnywarlock]

Ah, heck. What a gut punch of a story.

Oh, Hina... I don't know how you're going to get away from this...

 

[SlingToken]

Asama just being nice again.

No. What she did is technically legit. The curse on the coin was broken. Especially since she traded it for 5 yen coins. Goen in Japanese literally means good fortune, so it’s a curse breaker. His death was sorta just a coincidence, which is why she never mentions the coin being the cause.

Was Asama's ghost lying? Did he really not like Shiori? Or did he just want her to live life happily instead?
