Thanks for the chapters.

 

[Jignx]

NOOOOO CHACHA I liked how pragmatic she is in terms of allowing others more experienced than her in gray jobs to cover her weaknesses and to call to police when they spotted someone in the house.

 

[farranpoison]

...Wait, so what was this part about? We're the two clients some random people who faked a relation to the missing woman to use her house as some kind of summoning ritual? Who was the "reincarnated" person at the end?

Also noooo the new detective! If she really died that's so sad, she would have been a great recurring character. Though I guess this means Yume's missing parents are becoming much more of a serious issue.

Rip chacha.I hope shes in a couple more jobs before disappearing .

 

[BreadBunny]

Yeah it seems the clients were just unrelated people who were luring people in using the missing persons case to unlock the poison jar. With it not being unlikely that they were the ones to kill the girl to start with so they could lure people in.

I'd wager this was like a cult that believed one of these two kids were the reincarnation of like their cult leader and having them sealed up in there to fight was like the way to find out which one was the true reincarnation or something like it.

Though of course this is mostly speculation.

Also R.I.P Chacha she probably found the amusement park and got got.

 

[cromat]

the way the postscript is worded sounds like it has a happy ending.

Rip Chacha and Daida chapter together 😭

So just some background things that might help someone figure out what is going in

• kodoku (poison jar) is an old Japanese folklore curse technique where you start off with a jar of insects and as they eat eachother, you use the last remaining insect as the curse medium. In manga, it's used as a last man standing/death game/the strong eating the weak metaphor/symbolism.
• the ritual required the use of 4 doors and 4 deaths. So the number 4 was important here.

Just a side thing but I think parents in the photo are likely the same as the hiring couple. They look similar but older.

Think the hanging corpse is the dead brother ?

I would do unimaginable things for a Daidai/Chacha chapter

 

[BalrogDeMorgoth]

Honestly, it's hard to fear that Madarai guy guiding humanity to the end of the world when we already know there's some weird Sea-God who mind control the entier human race and a weird briefcase that also control anyone who sees it on a country wide scale and the weird fruits mass-replacing humans.

It honestly sound like all those problems are gonna solve one another in the long term.

I think the mother in the photo was actually being interviewed on TV after the body of the daughter was found, that's how Yagi knew the two people who initially hired Chacha were fakes. And the woman on TV looks exactly like the one in the family photo.

Anyway, I read the arc again and I noticed that the posters with the woman's face while they were searching the house had the same name as the name mentioned as the "reincarnation" at the end. So it does seem that there was some kind of cult where a woman was a cult leader who was proclaiming that the end of the world was near or something like that, but she eventually died, and so two members of the cult lured a number of detectives to this house to complete some sort of ritual to allow their cult leader to be reborn.

The "poison jar" thing seems to have been connected to why there were two children's desks in the house but only one child in the family photo. Apparently one kid was bullied by the other kid, saying that they were stupid and that their mother liked them the best, and so on. Which could have triggered a sort of "battle" between them, hence the poison jar analogy, and the stronger one became the vessel for the cult leader's reincarnation.

What I'm wondering is if the initial missing girl was even connected to this whole thing? Like if she was a daughter of this family, she would be the one who was "fighting" her sibling in the poison jar, but her body was found elsewhere as said by the TV news? But at the end of the chapter there's clearly a hanging body behind the reincarnated cult leader in the son's body, which would mean that the hanging body was the actual sibling. Did they have three kids or something? Or is the missing girl totally unrelated?

Edit: I also noticed that the kid at the end had a different hair style than the kid in the photo, perhaps implying that this was the kid being bullied by their sibling, but he eventually "won" the war of the poison jar.

Doesn't the number 4 usually means death in Chinese? Like it's a pretty common taboo for the Chinese in my country

It was a bonus chapter, I will only do semi-imaginable things

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Haha ooops, humanity ending time.

 

[FogChinatsu]

Nooo chacha 😭

 

[7goat]

It's baffling why they didn't just threaten the three of them to open the door and just let them go instead. Lady had a knife. Does the door-opening ritual have to be voluntary?

Edit: Alright, I reread it and Chacha said some throwaway line about how they can just call for backup. But still, it's not like help will arrive immediately.
