Prolog
“In this book there are only Japanese places and names. You don't have to read this book, if you don't like brutal scenes or events. This book has funny moments as you know from some mangas. So I'm warning you: You don't have to read it, because this book is not for the faint-hearted.
If you want to read this book, then I hope, that you'll enjoy it, like I did while writing it :)
So, let me show you some cool and awesome places in Hinamizawa.
I wrote this book in one day and I enjoyed writing it. Now I hope that you enjoy my book as a reader, too.
Enough talking! Now let's go on a tour, which will show you my fantasy. Let's turn back time to July 1983”
The Arrival
'WRUUUUMMM' – I heard the sound of the train, which left the station. I was really sad, because I had to leave my friends...without saying 'Goodbye!'.
“Can you take our bags, please?”
“Yes, why not?” -
“Keiichi. Don't be so sad. You'll find new friends, if you act nicely and if you aren't in a bad mood.”
“I don't want to have new friends...”
“Hmm...That's your fault...You should look for new friends, okay?”
“No, Mum...Okay...Maybe I'll find some...”
“That's a good attitude!”
“Mum?”
“What's wrong, Kei-chan?”
“I'm hungry and you?”
“Oh, me too...We are at our new house in Hinamizawa in five minutes. Wait, please.”
“Okay! Okay!”
Oh my god! I felt happy, when I saw our new house. That was a huge house in a little place. I was shocked!
But I was afraid when I saw “it”. “It” was scary...”It” was a girl! This girl was very beautiful.
“Mum, I'll come back in few minutes”. At least I hoped that.
“Hey, what's your name?”
“.......”
“Okaaay?!What's wrong?”
“..............”
“HEY! I ASKED YOU SOMETHING!”
“....Don't be impolite....They'll get you!...'He' is watching you..”
“What do you mean?!”
“I know you're name, Keiichi Maebara!”
“.......” - I ran away and I was shocked – again. Who was that girl?
“Keiichi! Come on, hurry up! It's dinner time!”
“I'm coming!”
I ran as fast as I could. I was so afraid of this girl...
Who was that? What a, I going to do tomorrow? These are very important questions. I hope, that I know, what I'll do.
“Keiichi! I have good news for you. You're going to school, in Hinamizawa. Isn't that nice?”
“Really? I'm going to school here in this village?”
“Yes, is something wrong?”
“No, no, no, nothing is wrong. Everything is okay!”
Now I have one problem left. Oh, no! I should search for this girl...
That wasn't normal!
“Kei-chan! Kei-chan! What's going on? You're so pale. Are you sure, that nothing is wrong???”
“Yes Mum, I'm sure!”
“Okay. Now go to bed, it's getting late. You have to go to school tomorrow!”
When I got to bed I saw a shadow. I looked out of the window and saw “it”. I saw this girl again. I crawled under my blanked. I couldn't sleep that night, so I watched TV.
In the morning my mother woke up early and I, too. I walked to school, when I met these two girls at the old water wheel...I talked to them.
New school, new friends
“Hello, who are you?” - “Yeah, who are you?”
“My name is Keiichi and you are...?”
“My name is Mion” - “My name is Mion, err, no, not Mion. I'm Rena.”
“Rena! Don't be like a parrot!” - “Sorry.”
“Are you going to school, too?”
“Yes, we are.” - “Yes!”
“Okay, do you want to go to school with me?”
“Why not?” - “Mion! He is so cute, I want to take him home!”
“Err, okaay?!”
“Don't be stupid, Rena!” - “Oh, I'm sorry!”
It was funny, to go to school with them! They were my new friends now. We were in the same class. My first day at school was so awesome!!!
I saw it again! I talked to Mion. She told me something about a group.
“Hello, I saw you in my garden.”
“Hello. What do you mean? I was never there. I'm Rika and you?”
“Huh? I'm Keiichi. It's great to meet you.”
“Okay, now let me show you our school.”
“Okay.”
On the 'tour' with Rika, I thought something else about her character. She was so nice and polite. Why had she said something so scary to me? Now I had a new mystery again.
“Now, Kei-chan, you're a friend of us. So let me tell you our inner secret!”
“Okay, I'm waiting for it!”, Mion said.
“We have a secret Group. You shouldn't tell it to someone or we're going to punish you!”, Mion said.
“O-o-okay. I swear.”
“Yay, that's good!”
I'm really interested to know, what they're going to do...
The mysterious group
Now I'm in the group. This is so exciting! Mion is our leader.
“Let me explain the rules.”, Mion said.
“Okay, go on!”
“1. I'm the leader and I say, what is to do everyday, okay?”
“Okay.”
“2. We are playing games and everyone has to pay attention to the games.”
“Aren't we too old to play 'games'?”
“No, we aren't!”, a girl said.
The name of this girl was Satoko. She wore big glasses and had golden-brown hair. It looked like golden toast.
“WE DON'T PLAY GAMES, YOU KNOW FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD!!!” , Mion said.
“Mion, calm down!” , Rena said.
“Okay, I'm sorry...” , Mion said.
“3. You can use your way to win!”
“Isn't that cheating?”
“No, you have to use your own way!”
“4. We're going to punish you, if you loose!”
“W-w-whaaat?! How does that work?”
“You'll see!”, Rika said.
“5. The new member of our group has to buy our food, for a picnic.”
“Okay, when will the picnic start?”
“Today!”, Satoko said.
“That isn't fair!”
“You have to do it!”, everyone shouted.
“Mmmh, okay.”
“LET'S ENJOY A GOOD PICNIC, MY FRIENDS!!”, Mion shouted.
After the picnic, I went to bed. It was late. My mum ate dinner alone because I was full!
Fun & Games
The next day I played my first game with the group. We played a card game. That was funny. I lost and we talked a little bit.
“What are you going to do on Watanagashi, Rika?”, Mion asked.
“I'll learn how to be a priest and you, Mion? , Rika said.
“I'll go to the Watanagashi-Festival.”, Mion shouted happily.
“What is Watanagashi?”
“Watanagashi is a festival. You take a piece of cotton and throw it in the river near the fairground. Then you'll be rescued from bad luck. This festival depends on to Oyashiro-sama.”, Rena said.
“Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining.”
Watanagashi...Sounds good. A festival for Oyashiro-sama, the founder of this village...
Later at the festival:
“Hey, dudes. How are you?”
“Hey, Kei-chan!”, everyone said.
“Oh, Rika-chan is so cute. I want to take her to my house!!!”, Rena said.
“Thank you, Rena.”, Rika said.
Wow, that was so awesome! The whole village was so shiny! Everyone is happy and looked towards a big shrine. I was really interested in what was in there! A photographer asked me to go with him to the shrine.
“Do you want to look into the shrine?”
“Yes, why not?”
“Okay, then wait until everyone goes to the river.”
“Okay, I'll wait.”
After waiting at the shrine, the man came back:
“Okay, let's go!”
“Err, isn't that dangerous?”
“No, nobody can follow and see us!”
“Okay...”
Detective
“Don't be loud, okay?”
“Okay...”
“Look! There is a statue of Oyashiro-sama!”
“Oh my god! It's huge!”
“Yeah, I know...”
“What are these...things?!”
“These are...dissection tools!”
“O-o-oh my good! AAAH!”
“The villagers are surviving out of demon-blood!”
“That isn't true!!”
“It is! You're friends are murderers!”
“No!!! I don't believe that!”
“I'm sorry, little boy, but that's true!”
That couldn't be! That was too...strange. Demons didn't exist! Mion and the others couldn't be demons! They were too nice...
What if, if he said the truth? He told me, that every year on Watanagashi someone had to die, because the “demons” were going to dissect the person and eat his innards. That was so icky!!!
I took a piece of cotton and did the same like the others...
I threw the cotton into the river.
After all I ran to my house. My parents weren't at home, so I was alone, alone in the darkness. What should I have done, when one of these demons came into my house? I was really despaired...
The photographer – I knew he was a detective - gave me his phone number. I had to call him, when I saw something ominous.
Fear
I was so afraid and hungry...So...what to do? I knew! I had to lock the door so the demons couldn't come into our house. It was too dangerous to sit here without doing anything. I was hungry, very hungry.
'RRRIIIING' – 'RRRIIIING'...
Our phone was ringing. Who could that be?
“Keiichi? Keiichi? It's me, the detective.”
“Oh, you are on the phone? I thought that...”
“You thought that I'm one of your demon friends, huh?”
“Yeah, sorry...”
“That's okay, are you afraid? You shouldn't be afraid...”
“Yes, a bit.”
“Okay. Now listen:On the night at Watanagashi...a man was killed!”
“Who would ~?”
“The murderer could be one of your friends, Keiichi-kun!”
“How did the murderer killed him?”
“He gave the man a drug by injection!”
“Oh my god!”
“Yes, that's very...yucky!”
“Am I in trouble?”
“Maybe...I have to hang up, sorry.”
“Okay, bye.”
'TUUUT' – 'TUUUT'...
Maybe I was in trouble...
There's nothing to be afraid of! I was sure, that my parents were arriving in a few hours...
No, I couldn't wait until they were coming! There should be another way to stop the girls!
I was ready for those demons out there in the darkness, who wanted to kill me!!!
Demons
'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK'
'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK'
Who could that be? It's too late....
“Hello! Who's there?!?”
“Kei-chan! It's me, Mion! Rena is here too!”
“Okay, wait. I'll open the ~”
“Wait...They're demons, aren't they? I should be very, very careful”, I thought.
“What's wrong, Kei-chan?” - “Open the door!”
“Wait, I have to go to the toilet first.”
“LIAR!!”
“That isn't a lie!”
“LIAR!!!”
'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK'
'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK' – 'KNOCK'
“Okay, that is a lie! I want to open the door...”
“Open it - Open it – Open it – Open it – Open it - ...” - “Open it – Open it – Open it – Open it - ...”
“Okay, wait...”
“Keiichi...Open it!” - “Yes, do it!”
“Okay, its open!”
'BAAM'
The door made this sound. It did, because it was locked it with an interlock. So I could see the girls but they couldn't come in. I saw it...I thought, that Rika was that girl in my garden,but it was Rena!
Lies and Secrets
“Are you hungry? Are you hungry, Keiichi?”
“Yes, a bit! Why are you asking?”
“We made food for you...Don't you want to take it?”
“Err, yes, why not!”
“Take one piece of our rice-balls. Their made out of rice and love.” - “And a secret-ingredient.”
“Thank you. Their very delic~. What is in there?!?!”
I spat on the floor. The secret-ingredient was a nail in each of the rice–balls! My tongue was bleeding! They wanted to kill me! They were trying to come in...
“AHAHAHAHAHA – AHAHAHAHAHA – AHAHAHAHAHA”
“We want to kill you, we're going to kill you and we will accomplish killing you!” - “Yeah, that's right!”
“No, you can't kill me!”
“We can, we can, we can, we can, ...!”
They dragged out the interlock. They accomplished dragging the interlock, until it's broken! That's so bad for me! I ran into my room and locked the door...
They opened this door, I didn't know how, but they did...
“SUPRIIISE!” - “AHAHAHAHA”
“Oh, no...you won't kill me!”
“We'll...You'll see!” - “That's Oyashiro-sama's order!”
“What, Oyashiro-sama?”
“Yes, that all was planned!” - “He is a demon, too!”
“No, no, no!”
“Yes, oh and Kei-chan?!”
“What, you mad bastard?!”
“Your mum and dad...” - “We killed them...both”
“NO - I have a weapon...you can't kill me!”
The old baseball bat in my cupboard could rescue me...I stole it from a locker in our school. It was Satoshi Hojo's baseball bat.
A deadly baseball bat
I noticed, that Mion and Rena had something in their hand. It was an injection. I thought, that it could be a drug...and I thought into the right direction! IT WAS A DRUG! THEY WANTED TO KILL ME!
“You can't escape!” - “We threw nails on the floor...”
“DAMN IT!”
“Take this!” - “Let's end this!”
“No! I won't die!”
“Keterensu, Keterensu, Keterensu, Keterensu, ...” - “AHAHAHA”
“AAAAH!”
'SPLAT' - 'SPLAT' - 'SPLAT' - 'SPLAT' - 'SPLAT' - 'SPLAT' – 'SPLAT'
“Yes, Mion and Rena, let us end this.”
So, I ended this. My room was full of blood. Mion end Rena were demons.
Now they were dead. Now it was over...I haven't got parents anymore...I began to cry, cry like a little girl. What I could do? I got it! I would call the detective!
“Detective?! Keiichi is here. The girls are demons and tried to kill me!”
“Okay, I know, that Oyashiro-sama can't die. He could try to kill you again. Look behind you!”
“No, I'm too afraid!”
“LOOK!”
“NO, I CAN'T!”
“Look, please.”
When I looked behind me, I saw a thing. It looked as scary as you could ever imagine it! It took a katana and stuck it into my back.
“He is here!”
“I knew it.”
“Please, do something.”
“I can't do anything, sorry....”
'TUUUT' – 'TUUUT' – 'TUUUT ' - …
Epilog
