First of all, once again an apology because I haven’t written in ages. That’s because I’m really busy with school. I run also 5 episodes behind with the Third and as soon as possible, I’m going to hold a marathon. Well, with those annoucements done, on to the review.
This was focussed about Tomitake and Takano. They have died already, and Oishi is starting his investigation and because of some particular reason, Rena has to testify what she thinks happens. I don’t know why only Rena is going to testify and not the whole gang because they all saw Tomitake and Takano. But anyway, Rena is suprised that they have died, because the police keeps everything quiet. Was thas also the case in the first arc? I don’t know anymore. And it seems that Rena has also met Takano in the libary. Just like Shion, and Takano gave Rena just like Shion the scrapbooks with all her notes. Takano says with that that Rena must keep this quiet because if ‘they’ find out about her research, Takano is going to be erased. She has done a discovery about Oyashiro-sama, and ’they’ don’t like what that all about is. But how did ‘They’ found out about her scrapbook?
Rena told her about her meeting with Oyashiro-sama. It was really a grose story, that she wanted to hurt herself, so she cut her arm. And with that, maggots came out of her arm, and they didn’t stop with coming, and then, all kinds of bad things started to happen. And then, he appeared and said that if she wanted to survive, she had to go back to the village. And so she did.

After that, Rena seems to be followed. Because of the scrapbooks. The only one she can tell about it, is Keiichi. Rika and Mion are in the Three Great families so they can be part of the following as well. Keiichi wants to support her and he is once again a great friend.
and what is the research of Takano? Oyashiro-sama isn’t a god, he was a doctor. He came to the village because there was a virus (parasite) that made people go berserk. He cured it or somehow like that. But, the virus can be the one so called the curse of Oyashiro-sama. The virus only excist in the village because of the climate and temperature, and if the host leaves, the virus sends all kinds of signals to the host. That can be intepretated as Oyashiro-sama. There are families in the village that worship Oyashiro-sama, and they don’t like that Oyahshiro-sama may be well known as a parasite. They want to recover the fear of their god, and that’s why all the killing is going on. in the end, the whole village will be erased, just for their god. Rena is in danger and the ones in the van go to their house. The same van attacked Keiichi in arc one, and it is said that Irie is involved as well. Irie? How come?
I liked this episode, it was really good to see.
