Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: Nan Demo-Hen

1. Watanagashi

The night of the festival has arrived. People from the whole Hinamizawa village attended it.

Keiichi and Rena were walking together until a voice called out.

"Oh? Maebara-San?" The voice came from a glasses wearing man who also wore a cap, a grey tank top, and tan jeans. He had a camera with him.

"Tomitake-San? Nice to meet you here!"

"Yeah... I brought Takano-San too... Guh!" Suddenly he gasped at the sight of Rena.

"Is there something wrong?" Keiichi asked.

"N-No... Oh yeah! I think she's calling me! Gotta go!"

"That's weird..." Keiichi remarked, looking at Rena, who gave him a I have no idea look.

Both of them then walked to the stalls and found a shooting game, where Mion is waiting.

"Mii-Chan!" Rena called out.

"Oh, there you are!" She called back waving her hand.

The three of them then glanced at the shooting game stall, one of the prizes is a gothic doll.

Both Rena and Mion then looked at Keiichi, intently.

"Why are you both looking at me?"

"You're good at shooting, Kei-Chan!"

"So you mean I should be the one to win that?"

"And stop complaining."

Keiichi then took the BB gun, paid the stall keeper, and knocked the doll down in one shot.

Keiichi then gave the doll to Rena.

"Hauu~ This doll is so cute! Omochikaeri~!"

Mion smiled. This was for the best... Rena was the one who met Keiichi first when he moved, it's obvious that they get closer more faster.

And the rest of Watanagashi went normal like the previous worlds... Rika successfully danced, Tomitake died, and Takano disappearing mysteriously.

However one difference is, at the scene where Tomitake died...

-Mion POV

I look in disbelief as the photographer who is acquainted to Kei-Chan committed suicide by clawing his freaking neck out.

I looked around, there was no one else nearby, so I decide to take a look at his belongings. I found some VCR tapes, his camera, and a notebook.

Quickly thinking, I went to the nearest payphone, and dialled the police about what I find.

After half an hour, a police car arrived, along with a white van.

"It's ironic... Someone from the Sonozaki family actually needed us police's help." A voice came out as the figure came out of the police car.

Oishi Kuraudo, AKA Cloud. The best police officer and private investigator that I have ever met. He was already in an age where he should've retired.

"Well, Oishi-San... This old man here don't have the rights to investigate what's in these!" I said half-jokingly.

I gave him the tapes, the camera, and the notebook as I saw some men put the photographer into the van.

I looked at Oishi again.

"Looks like this year is also tragic." He said before entering his car and drove off leaving me alone in the clearing.

I'm very curious of what is in those tapes, and the photos he took... Furthermore, his notebook seems fishy.

I decided to go to the police station in Okinomiya tomorrow, I need to know what's in all of them.

Also, Rena seems to be very different... She's more silent than usual. Did something happen?

I shrugged it off and walked back home. However there is still one thought in my mind that gave me the dreads...

Everything's gonna be OK, isn't it?
