Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Meguri - Vol. 5 Ch. 18 - Akarigurashi-hen Part 4.1

[Lambdadeltum]

Convict apprehended by the brilliant officer Mion Sonozaki!

Now Satoko is truly cornered, and there is no way she can run away from being confronted. From this point onward, the answer arc truly begins.

From all we know, it might be because she broke a damn ancient magical relic and it lost its effect afterwards. So...yeah. If so, good job, Satoko. You broke the OP sword without thinking.

 

[Werebearguy]

A) Sword magic is being blocked so she can't end the game early
B) She's actually afraid of dying this time without realizing it
C) Eua protected her because Satoko being caught is amusing to her
D) Hanyuu did something for once

It's one of these four options, for sure. Either way, I like how this is progressing. It's taking forever, what with the half chapter nonsense and all, but still.

"What's with these scissors, the string won't cut!"

Satoko says that the shard doesn't even break her skin when it definitely feels sharp enough to do so. More than likely it's that Eua is stopping her from ending the game too early. Highly doubt the Witch of Theatergoing wants the show to end like that.

 

[SinSZ]

I wonder how Satoko is going to explain herself out of this. From the perspective of everyone who is not Rika, they're probably just thinking their friend went insane but still remained sane enough to have an elaborate plan to kill Rika.

 

[KZO]

I bet it's Hanyuu.
