Nothing can be say for now.
Be respectful I guess.

Thanks for the translation.

Wait, you're right! That's gotta be something, will the distance keep increasing?

 

[Mekanike]

The head priest said they can only lead them so far, so maybe the guests have to do something relating to the gray job first to actually get to the shrine. I dont think the lady in the group has said her name, maybe she's the sister of the missing kid??

 

[Mekanike]

Also thank you for the translation!! Great work as always!!

Fascinating format. One that makes me think this is similar to the concert staff, cotton glove dropper, and ship crewmate stories: it describes the girls being hired to help succeed at a highly specific "ritual". Now, all of those stories were heavily metaphorical. I wonder what emerges if we consider the unity behind some of the themes in this story? I.e. the disabilities of the ones being guided, having to follow a path and not straying from it, not looking at strangers...

Man the wait for the reveal is killing me. This manga is too good in terms of weird horror.

I wonder what the reports at the beginning have to do with this shrine or ritual.

Well, there was a very large denied in the page before the "loop" happened.

The debriefing at the beginning of this chapter seems very literal though, involving real character names. Plus the last time we had some sort of religious theming show up was in the Ship Crewmate arc, which makes me feel like this one is similar to that. The "god" is prominent and overlooking everybody, but why would Yume declare that it starts to smell and then it pans out onto the god?

I always enjoy the nastiness of horror surrounding gods. It always feels.... more. Alien, somehow. Different then a human mind or human values, however distorted they might be.

I thought that it was showing what happened before the 3 km mark since getting hired was shown right before but the page before did mimic part 1 so maybe it's a loop?

Lots of things coming in 3s this arc. Missing child with 3 moles. 3 people who parallel the 3 wise monkeys. 3 testimonies related to the child (the day he went missing, the witness, the person being haunted) - though only 2 images so far. Sign that began at 3km, but in the 2nd loop had 3 more km added. "3 miles", compared to "a few more miles" in the first loop.

 

[Mynaux]

Damn, I was expecting it, but it still got me with the jumpscare page turn. Not a good idea for me to read this before bed. Great stuff!

 

[capricieux]

Thank you for the chapter!

damn yeah, thats a pretty solid thesis. Makes me think a bit of PTSD Radio...
