02
left: ♦ In this world, there is a certain place you must never, ever set foot into...!!
b1: Yay
b2: We finally found it
b3: This is the entrance
b4: And we're finally here... So I'll be entering right about now
b5: Waa it looks so old...
b6: Looks like there's more ahead
b7: Really? Is there really a village ahea-

03
b1: Ah
b2: Ah
b3: Uu...
b4: Ack

04
b1: Hah
b2: Hah
b3a: Hah
b3b: Hah
b4: You've... You've gotta be kidding me...
b5a: Hah
b5b: Hah
b6: Wasn't this all just a rumor...?
b7: <dhdshgkdh Village> (TN: there is a black squiggle for the name, I decided to use keysmash as a "translation")
b8: Isn't supposed to exist...

07
x1: Kyoto---
b1: This is the footage that was uploaded to a video site and became a real hot topic
b2: He clearly says <dhdshgkdh Village>
b3: The beginning of the video also depicts what appears to be the entrance to the village...
b4: However, after that, the video is interrupted by static and shadows...
b5: Hey, hey, this is pretty awesome, huh?
b6: I told you it was real! This <dhdshgkdh Village>!
b7: Already claimed many victims? Like real!
b8: Where is it? Is it for real?
b9: Hey!
b10: Keikain-kun, whaddya think?

08
b1: Mmm...
b2: Eh
b3: Hol- That guy is...
b4: ......
b5: Hey you, why'd you ignore us?
b6: Asumi!!
b7: Hey! Do you think it exists? Yes or no? At least let us have an answer we can add to our count
b8: Asumii, that's enough
b9: You've got some guts
b10: Wait a sec, where're you going!?
b11: Oh!? Talkin' about <dhdshgkdh Village>? Can we join?

09
b1: Ohhhh it totally exists!! I'm telling you it definitely exists!! People have disappeared into thin air!!
b2: But a video!? In this day and age things like that can be easily fabricated!! I bet it's fake
b3: Hey!! Let's go find out for ourselves!!
b4: EH!?
b5: Ohh! Sounds great!!
b6: We could go during our next vacation...
b7: You'd better not
b8: Eh?
b9: Listen up. This story was viral 10 years ago
b10: Ke... Keikain-kun...?
b11: And then it died down on its own... It's a waste of your time
b12: In the first place, if you get all caught up in something so pointless right before the university entrance exams, you're just gonna end up landing yourself in some third-rate university
b13: And if you just play around in a university like that, you ain't even gonna be able to find a decent job!! Damn assholes.

10
b1: Wha...
text next to b1: What the hell is up with him
b2: He really is an enigma...
b3: But you knooow, maybe that thing about him being the descendant of an onmyouji is true after all
b4: Ehh? I don't know about that...
b5: Huh? Isn't that why you asked him?
b6: Nah, but he is kinda cool, isn't he?
b7: ARE YOU FRICKING SERIOUS!?
b8: I'm kinda boooored...
b9: ...
b10: They're getting... Way too fired up about this... (TN: It's interesting that the word the other boy chooses to say he's bored can also mean "cold" whereas Ryuuji uses an expression that involves the idea of "heat")
b11: Yura, you there?
b12: THE HELL YOU DOIN' JUST BARGIN' IN LIKE THAAAAAAAT!!
b13: Oh, you were just changing (small text: cheh)

11
b1: Oi, make sure you're free this weekend
b2a: Wh... What's this all about?
b2b: All of a sudden...
b3: <dhdshgkdh Village>
b4: Eh?
b5: A request came for us to investigate <dhdshgkdh Village>, right?
b6: We're going
b7a: <dhdshgkdh Village>...
b7b: A village-type urban legend that was viral around year 2000... "A village that was wiped off the map after a horrible mass murder"
b8: It caused a buzz all over Japan, enrapturing enthusiasts and the media alike, but after a while it died down, only to return now...
b9: I never expected Onii-chan to actually believe a story like this and take up the request

12
b1: What are you talking about, Yura?
b2: You mean you think this is just some lame rumor?
b3: Eh?
b4: It exists. This <dhdshgkdh Village>.
b5: Ehh? But...
b6: Didn't you watch the video, Yura? It was the real deal, wasn't it?
text below b6: Watch it with the eyes of an onmyouji...
b7a: EHH?
b7b: No kidding? Onii-chan
b8: ...
b9: Heeeeeeey...
b10: This thing is inordinately heavy, you know... What is up with this bag...
b11: You don't have a choice, we already decided who'd carry it via rock-paper-scissors
b12: Le- Let's have a rematch!!
b13: Stone!!
b14: That's strange... The probability of me winning should have been 1 out of 2...
b15: We're here

13
b1a: H... Here...?
b1b: You sure you got the right place?
b2: I checked on the internet, don't worry
b3a: Internet!?
b3b: Are you serious!?
b4: And thus, since this place had the most hits, this has got to be the place
b5: Th- That seems waaaaaay too simple
b6: Coming based on just that... This is so unlike the usual Nii-chan
b7: Really?
b8: Look at that
b9: That's the <Dokuro no Ishi>, isn't it? (TN: Dokuro no Ishi [ドクロの石] literally means skull stone)

14
box: <dhdshgkdh Village> Information #1
There is a stone that looks like a skull near the entrance
b1: Now that you mention it...
b2: Next is the torii
b3: Oh, look, there it is
box: #2
There stands an old torii
b4: However... Among the rumors, there's one that says that the torii is jet black...
b5: Do you know why it's black, Yura?
b6: Eh?
b7: It's black... Because it's evil?
b8a: The three primary colors of Hell
b8b: Blue for carnage, red for hungry ghosts and yellow for beasts
b9a: Mix them together and you get the black of <hell>... That's why they represent the entrance to hell
b9b: Remember it

15
b1: Look, <as soon as I said it> - a <blue torii>
b2: Eh!?
b3: No... No kidding!?
b4: Let's proceed
b5: Nii-chan, wait up!
b6: Next is the <red torii>
b7: It's just as I said... I can see a <yellow torii> beyond it
b8: And the final one is <black>!
a1: You... You've got to be kidding...
b9: What... is this...
b10: It wasn't... A rumor!!

16-17
a1: Act 141
a2: The Man-Eating Village
b1: ......
b2: Let's find an inn
b3a: My, my
b3b: Welcome to <dhdshgkdh Village>
b4: Hoh... So this really is <dhdshgkdh Village>, huh?

18
b1: Yes, yes...
b2: For some reason, it seems to have become rather famous lately...
b3: ...... Indeed
b4: I've heard a lot about it
b5: Yes, yes... It's brought me quite some trouble
b6: People hardly come here... Although it's a perfectly normal village...
b7: By the way, why have the two of you come here?
b8: Ah, no, we were just doing a little geological survey around the area, but we got lost and ended up here
b9: Right, Yura-kun?
b10: Y- Yes, Sensei?
b11: What the hell...? Nii-chan is so off today

19
b1: Is that so... Then you must be very tired
b2: Our inn has a rotenburo... How about taking a bath there before dinner? (TN: A rotenburo [露天風呂] is a traditional Japanese open air bath)
b3a: Hoh...
b3b: Yura, you go ahead
b4: Eh?
b5: Well then, please make yourselves at home...
b6: ... There isn't really anything strange about this place, is there...
b7: The obaa-chan from just now was a normal person, too
b8: The <village> does exist... But does the story end with it just being a normal village?

21
a1: .........?
a2: Was... Something... There?
b1a: They've come
b1b: More of them've come
b2: New humans
b3: Have come... They've come
b4: They're here
a3: ☆The curtains rise on a tragic night...!!
b5: H-E-R-E...
