Tsurenai Hodo Aokute Azatoi Kurai ni Akai - Vol. 6 Ch. 45 - Why did you persist?

On page 11, the phrase for "The Devil's Followers" is 悪魔の証明者, which I’m pretty sure means something like "The Devil's Proofer"

I think this is a reference to Probatio Diabolica (Devil's Proof), a type of logical fallacy or impossible task where one is asked to prove something that cannot logically be proven

This term does get brought up in a later chapter, but I don’t think it’s that important

Also, "The Pious" and "God's Disciple" both use the same word (信奉者), so why not just simplify it to "believers" instead?

So, according to the woman at the beginning:

• Inukai => the disloyal lamb
• Tamemizu Shouko => the pious
• Nakazono Natsume => the greedy
• Tomoyama Arata => ... (not addressed directly, but we could assume he is the devil's follower)

So, Hayami can regenerate from being dismembered. Cool.

I hope she dies for real

I hope she dies for real

I seriously doubt that, since there's another 3.5 volumes to go, and it's ongoing.

I just like being a hater

What makes you so sure that’s Hayami? There was literally a shape-shifting monster a few chapters back

 

[UnvalidUserName]

Wait thou, did they just kill him or has he been dead all this time?

Don't think that's quite correct. Seems to me like Tomoyama Arata, Nakazono Natsume, and Tamemizu Shouko all fall into the "individuals eager for knowledge" category, though Tamemizu Shouko falls into the overlap with "God's disciples". In particular, page 12 suggests that "the Devil's followers" was a separate group of students who frequented the sacrificial mountain in the past before going missing (sacrificed themselves? destroyed by God's disciples? just somewhere else?).

that's a great question, put a pin on that

I'm just reiterating what the woman at the beginning says

That book on page 12 is a proposal for a TV show, nothing suggests it has direct ties to the land. You know how fake some TV shows can be

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Ann2004]

Bro, what the fuck is even going on here?

 

[Daleport112668]

I'm too retarded to understand this story and I've already forgotten a lot of details but what the fuck is happening

 

[Ulthair]

I...

I'm going to have to go back through and reread every chapter to see if Hayami is consistently whispering into one of Tomoyama's ears in particular, aren't I?

Goddamnit.

 

[misopogon]

Well, the plot thickens. Hayami is a reincarnation of an old legend, I think? The legend is now repeating itself, with all the principal cast playing certain roles in it.

While a lot of people seem to get confused by the story, the various reveals really do make rereading rewarding because the author clearly has a story in mind. Inukai’s frustration isn’t a random plot point but is built off of what we knew from Tamemizu from the beginning. She views interactions with Hayami as defilement—Inukai’s desire to “complete” Hayami is in opposition to that. That’s hardly foreshadowing, but Tamemizu’s initial appearance (specifically ch. 16) has her talking about the importance of ears and trying to cut off Arata’s left ear—the one Inukai seems to be claiming has a connection to the “divine” Hayami. Tamemizu also claims that having only one ear makes you a sinner, and while there are a few different ways to interpret it, the fact that a sinner would only be able to hear the whispers of “the devil’s followers” checks out
