Rika: Yoshimura-san… You will die as well. // Exploring indentity is something a desecration to Oyashiro-sama. / …If that’s your reason for visiting Hinamizawa, / …You will die as well.

Page 02:
Yoshimura: …E- / Even so, the bus… seems late. // This should be the time for its coming, shouldn’t it?
Mion: Haha… No wonder why it’s late. // Because of the rain…

Page 03:
Man: According to recon’s report… There are some outsiders mingling in.
Girl: Outsider? // What will we do? This is unexpected… / We cancel it?

Page 04:
Chapter 4: Someone watching me

Page 05:
Tonegawa: Hmm… / How late… Arakawa-kun is. // It’s best if there’s nothing wrong…
Rika: What happened to Arakawa-kun?
Mion: A little while ago, when Rika-san was going to restroom, his had a throbbing headache and writhed. // He said something like a spasm, but… // Well…

Page 06:
Mion: It’s ??? hemorrhage!
Rika: It’s subarachnoid hemorrhage…
<>
Tonegawa: Toilet’s behind this, right… I’ll go check him a little.
Rika: Ah… / Tonegawa-san, I have medicine for headache here. // I go with him a bit, will be back soon.
Mion: Ah, yeah! Take care~

Page 07:
Mion: Fuwaa~h // …! // Phew… / Somehow I was getting sleepy… // For no reason, my head is hurt too… I wonder, maybe I cold…
Yoshimura: Some days ago… I made a tour of Tokyo with parents… // But well... we went to play only in Mouse Land…
<>
Mion: Eh? / Is that so!? Last days I made it with parents too, in Tokyo! / And went to Mouse Land. Yeah! // …though, it was the only place I played at too!

Page 08:
Yoshimura: I stayed at a seaside hotel named Edoumi. / It was a hotel in Kasai Coastal Park...
Mion: Eh!? / Eh!? / Eeh!? // I did too! I stayed that place too! / What a coincidence!
Yoshimura: At night, while walking around the park, I saw something amazing.

Page 09:
Yoshimura: That was a sacred precincts for couples, made singles feel ashamed…
Mion: Ahahahahaha! // Argree, argree-! I thought so too-!
Yoshimura: The meal was so great, more than I thought. // But choosing Japanese style together with parents was a failure. / The boiled fish wasn’t my taste, so I left whole foods after all.
Mion: Ahahahaha! Yoshimura-san too-? / I as well-!
Yoshimura: ……… / Therefore, at midnight, the starvation didn’t let me sleep no matter what.

Page 10:
Yoshimura: Couldn’t stand it, I slipped out the hotel and walked to a vending machine at a near police box for cup noodle. // …However, there was a matter. I didn’t have enough money. // …That time I was dying of hunger.
Mion: Ah-hahahahaha! Yoshimura-san too-? / I as well-!
Yoshimura: Next day, I borrowed father’s cellphone, left it in pocket and went to toilet.

Page 11:
Yoshimura: Carelessly I dropped it into toilet bowl. How terrible.
Mion: (………Eh?)
Yoshimura: Didn’t care about dirty things, in a hurry, picked it up and used a dryer to desiccate. // …”Seems it’s out of battery”, I lied father. / But that was useless, right?
Mion: Ahahahaha! Yoshimura-san too-? / I---
Yoshimura: In Mouse Land, I played lots of the ride anyway. It was all day in play.

Page 12:
Yoshimura: Pirates of Caliph was funny one. // There was a mountain of treasure. When I leaned out over gondola to try to touch them… // Seems I was scolded by broadcaster.

Page 13:
Mion: Ahahaha….
Yoshimura: I used all of energy to play until very last moment of closing time. // Just before that time, I jumped into an ice-cream shop, begged mother for rum raisin one. // While eating ice-cream which was dripping… // I saw a young man was looking at me fixedly.
<>

Page 14:
Yoshimura: You waved hand at him but he looked away. It made you sulky in anger. // …When you looked back, you had hanged down everything on your own clothes. // Because of that, you couldn’t get in even train and made a big cry, didn’t you?
Mion: Hahahah… That was…
Yoshimura: It seems playing all day long was such a bad idea. Next day, you was racked by a tremendous headache. / You drunk medicine for headache, but that kept it only for a while.

Page 15:
Yoshimura: …After thinking over, father and mother moved up schedule and chose to go back. // The head still swam, but you made an appeal while crying.
<>
Mion (flashback): I’ll get over this headache soon, for sure, so please-!
Yoshimura: But the parents loved their child, so they decided to go back. // Even now, you still regret it? That tour of Tokyo…
Mion: Eh? / …Uhm …That’s…
Yoshimura: …You argree with the dam, don’t you? // You’re hoping that with eviction fee, you may move to Tokyo. / …But because of your parents’ business, the new address seems like is in near city. / A compromise point’s here, huh. At least, it’s definitely like a city more than Hinamizawa. …It’s full of buildings higher than fire brigade’s one.

Page 16:
Mion: ……Wh-… why… do you… know… that much?
Yoshimura: You’ve put your soul in Tokyo already. // Your heart’s no longer in Hinamizawa. / …This is bad… Don’t you think so?
Mion: …B-… bad…? What’s bad…?
Yoshimura: I mean Oyashiro-sama! // Oyashiro-sama will curse who intend to leave and go away Hinamizawa, right? / …Supposing, if I were that Oyashiro-sama, I think you would be out already… // …Do you understand?
Mion: Un… understand what…?

Page 17:
Yoshimura: …Since you were small, you’ve been the type who believe in them. Whether it be a fairy tale, or a nursery tale, or a ghost story… / …Even though you know they’re just made-up story… you believe in them anyway. // …From the headache suffering you got in Tokyo… …to the story of Oyashiro-sama… you can’t ignore them… / Even though you know they’re just made-up story… right…
Mion: …Wh… …who… who you… are…
Yoshimura: Me? / …Me? You ask.

Page 18-19:
Yoshimura: …Didn’t I say before? I’m Yoshimura!! // Yoshimura the freelance writer!! / It’s relative to part-time worker, right?
???: HQ calling all cars. On account of outsider, we postpone the starting time of operations. / All cars standby, prepare for any situation. …Be careful. We don’t know what will come out.

Page 20:
Rika: …How are you? Does medicine work well?
Arakawa: …Thank you. It really helped me. / I deeply appreciate.
Tonegawa: …It worked? …Oh…
Mion: ……… // Rika-san, may you give me some too? Those medicine… I’m a just a little…
Rika: …You feel a pain?
Mion: No, I’m fine now. But a short while ago, it was very hurt.
Yoshimura:
Mion: N- no thanks!
Yoshimura: Is… is that so… Then, fine.

Page 21:
Tonegawa: Even so… Looks like the bus doesn’t come. I think it’s been the time already.
Rika: …… // Because of the rain, right?
Mion: Huh? / Someone coming again?
???: Hi there.

Page 22:
Man: Is everyone waiting for a bus?

Page 23:
Man: We are polices. / There is a case, so we’re investigating its vicinity.
Mion: A case…?
Arakawa: What’s you saying!? What happened!?
Man: Please calm down. // It happened in the morning in town. It seems a street murderer is hiding in this neighbour. / …At present, this area is being cordoned off. That’s why the bus won’t come here.
Ara & Tone: A street murderer!?
Mion: A pervert!? / A drug addict!? / Oh please… I can’t stand with them…
Text: (Satoko) It’s no shame!! / (Addict) Geheh~

Page 24:

Rika: Oyashiro-sama does "exist"...
Chapter 3: The Erased Past

Page 02:

Tonegawa: ...Such rumors, I haven't heard them yet...
Rika: ...I'm not surprised.
Yoshimura: As the nature of Japanese people, they shutted their mouth on things of abstention. / ...By unspeaking to, they tried to pretend it didn't happen. // ...But it happened again. / ...There were second and third incident... / Whenever the bizarre occurred, they got scared by Oyashiro-sama's curse, and increasingly shut their mouth. // It seems the management worried about situation, they planned to conceal the truth as much as possible.
Tonegawa: That's ridiculous...! // ...The staff members died, and they concealed them! It's unthinkable!
Yoshimura: Particularly, they didn't do such things like hiding their dead body.

Page 03:

Yoshimura: They controlled information in full field, made consideration that it won't reach to unrelated people. / That's for preventing the morale in the office doesn't drop more. // ....But, people who know of them do know them. / Right? Arakawa-san.
Tonegawa: ...Arakawa...-kun...!
Arakawa: ......That was... ...an accident! / Just an accident...
Mion: Haha...

Page 04:

Mion: Ahaha... / ...Hahahaha! ...Oh please-!
Rika: ...What's so funny?
Mion: B- because... it can't no laugh. Something like a curse in nowadays... // Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Laugh it, laugh it!
Arakawa: I laughed at them! // I suspected how such stupid things could be existed! / I did! My colleagues did! // Everyone! Everyone! Everyone! Everyone too!!

Page 05:

Yoshimura: The next victim was Kakinuma-san in Urban River Office.
Mion (aside): Au au, he gets angry!
Arakawa: Numa-san's case was an accident! ...It was not the curse!
Yoshimura: Oh... / He was your friend...?
Arakawa: ......... / That person... // Numa-san was a big laugher, liked sake and gambling. / ...He was my direct predecessor in work. We were apart in age, but we always went drinking.

Page 06:

Arakawa: Numa-san had a beautiful wife that looked younger than him 10 years old. // In spite of a social status like that, he drunk the night way, every every day! // ...Once in a while, "don't you think you should go home early?", I told to Numa-san. // He said, "Listen! Ara-chan, marriage is like hell~!" / "Be single with a lot of free time is the best!" // One day... / It was late for me to go home from work, and Numa-san drove me...
Arakawa: Numa-san, look like you're very tired.

Page 07:

Kakinuma: ...I haven't slept well lately... / It's difficult to get to sleep.
Arakawa: ...Hahahaha! / Numa-san, come on! / ... Does it appear... even at you place!? That thingy.
Kakinuma: ......... // Ara-chan, do you not feel anything... / ...At night...?
Arakawa: Feel? At night...? Hahaha! How dirty your talk-!
Kakinuma: ...Truely, it "exists". / ......Yeah.

Page 08:

Kakinuma: ...I felt uneasy and turned up the light... but only my wife and kid were in the room... // ......But I know... / It "exists".
Arakawa: ...Oh please, Numa-san... / ...You say it exists, it exists, it exists, it exists... but what is "it"?
Kakinuma: ......... // ......Do you remember Kondou-san? ...About one month ago, he also said those words...
Arakawa: About Kondou-san... you know, he was a bit of! ...I wonder how I say... It was true that he used to say them...
Kakinuma: Perhaps...... the "thing" was at Kondou-san's place... / ...is the same at mine...

Page 09:

Arakawa: ......... / ...Please, let's not talk about Kondou-san!
Kakinuma: ...I know. / ...Probably, the thing that Kondou-san's said "it exists"... is that guy. // ...No doubt, that guy really exists. / As days go by, the feeling becomes strong.
Arakawa: Please stop it. This talk... is no fun.
Kakinuma: But, Ara-chan. // My feeling about his presence becomes strong day by day. It's the truth! // ...Whenener I open my eyelids suddenly... / It's like he's standing there.

Page 10:

Kakinuma: I think... / I'll "meet" him soon... / ...that Oyashiro-sama...

Page 11:

Arakawa: ...And late at night of that day... his car crashed against the dump trunk on opposing lane and he died... / It was an accident! // I had got off about 10 minutes before... but I saw everything right after that! ...I can say it was an accident! // But... I could never tell to his wife! / ...There's no way I can tell... that foolish story!
Yoshimura: At first, I really thought he fell asleep at the wheel. / But actually, it wasn't... On Kakinuma-san's corpse, his throat was scratched off. // The nails on both hands' fingers were peeled off and coverred with blood.
Mion: ...I can't understand the situation too much...

Page 12:

Rika: ...In other words... Right before his death, he thought of something and began scratching his own throat. // ...Even the fingernails can be peeled off... That must be with a terrible force.

Page 13:

Tonegawa: ...Why did such thing happen...
Rika: That man "met" him... // ......met Oyashiro-sama.
Yoshimura: Do you know Mori-san and Katou-san?
Arakawa: I don't know! / I really don't know about those two! // I only heard Katou-san's incident... but I don't know much about it! // At Nishifunabashi station in Chiba prefecture, Katou-san dove into a train and died. / Right before his diving, station attendant had witnessed his strange behavior, but I don't know any details.

Page 14:

Arakawa: I don't know! / I don't know! I don't know! / I don't know anything!
Yoshimura: How about Mori-san? His case was in the office... You should have been working there.
Tonegawa: The office!? // I didn't know it! What happened!?
Arakawa: I don't know! / I went out to have lunch! // When I came back, the office was noisy... It came to an end! / When I went there, he had already...

Page 15:

Arakawa: That's why I don't know! I don't know anything!
Tonegawa: This's the first time I hear it! ...I must have known if there were such thing in the office!
Yoshimura: ...As I expected, Mori-san was the fourth person. / I heard they had come to an agreement with highest offices in the police in advance about "special" circumstances. So, everything such like on-the-spot inspection was done in secret. / ......Do you remember this story? ...One day, there was an accident while replacing gas valve, and it became a scandal.
Tonegawa: Now that you mention it... Really, there was such thing.

Page 16:

Tonegawa: About... staff members got injury while observing the gas fitter and they were carried out... / ...Seemed like a tumultuous day...
Yoshimura: Of course, it was a coverred story. The truth was quite different.
Mion: ...Coverred story? // What is that?
Rika: ...A false story... They lied to hide the truth.
Yoshimura: I'm not sure about many details since it's very hard to get them from mouths of related people. However, the following can be confirmed.

Page 17:

Yoshimura: An incident happened around 1:00 PM on the X day of O month...
Man: Oh man... Mori-san's sleeping again... / I'll wake him, wait me a minute...
Arakawa: Okay.
Man: Mori-san, the lunch break has ended already. // If you still sleep, you will be late. / C'mon! Mori-san, wake up. // If you don't cut it out, the team leader will yell at you from behi---

Page 18:

Man: ! // M-... / Mori-sa... // Gu-... / Ha... // !
Arakawa: What's that? What's going on there?

Page 19:

Man: What's with you? Was there something?
Mori: ...It exists... it... exists...
Man: Eh? // ! // Gah-!

Page 20:

Man: Gaaaaah!!!
Mori: Don't come... here... don't... come here. // Begooone!

Page 21:

Yoshimura: Suddenly going berserk with an awl in hand, Mori-san attacked three staff members... // Before being captured, he had thrusted his own throat. It looks like he breathed his last... That incident happened only in one, two minutes...
Arakawa: I said I went out to have lunch! So I don't know! // Mori-san! Please stop! Mori-san!!

Page 22:

Arakawa: What are you doing!? // Mo... Mori-san...? // Gah!! // Ngh... Why do you... / !?

Page 23:

Mori: Aaarghhh!!!
Arakawa: !! // Mori-san! It's enough, please wake up!

Page 24:

Arakawa: He does "not" exist! Noone does exist! / No way he can exist! He doesn't exist! So please, calm down! / That's a fairy-tale! ...So he doesn't exist!
Mori: It... exists... / ...exists...
Arakawa: That Oyashiro-sama! // Does "not" exist!!!

Page 25:

[Nothing, just he screams.]

Page 26:

Arakawa: ...It's behind here? The rest room... I'm sorry... I leave a minute.
Tonegawa: I didn't know... such thing like that...
Yoshimura: We don't know the identity of the curse of Oyashiro-sama. // ...However, definitely it is real. // And the key to solve those mysteries should be in this Hinamizawa. / ......So I come to investigate... that something.
Rika: You will die...
Yoshimura: Eh?

Page 27:

Rika: Yoshimura-san... // ...You will die too.

Page 01:

Yoshimura: ...Oyashiro-sama... Do you know it?
Mion: Oyashiro-sama...
Tonegawa: ......... // Yoshimura-san... / What might that be...?
Chapter 2: The begining of the curse

Page 02:

Tonegawa: ...Sonozaki-san, you know? / ...About that something...
Mion: Eh? // Um... I knew at elementary school... Well, first of all... // Oyashiro-sama is the name of this Hinamizawa's guardian god. / Every local people must know about her.
Arakawa: I'm tired to hear about Oyashiro-sama! Do you intend to tell us? About that stupid story!?
Tonegawa: Arakawa-kun know about her too?
Rika: ...It's a fairy-tale about Oyashiro-sama. // ...If you try to pollute Hinamizawa...

Page 03:

Rika: .....She will curse you!
Arakawa: That's ridiculous! / There's always one, two stories like that in any hometown!
Yoshimura: The number of folklore about god's curse all over Japan is uncountable. / ...But, this curse of Oyashiro-sama is totally different with others.
Rika: ...She really does it.
Mion: ...Haha...

Page 04:

Mion: Ahahahaha-! / Are you kidding? Something like curses is out-of-date in these days! // Rika-san too, you scared us too much~
Yoshimura: ...Mion-chan, it seems like you don't know about it huh.
Mion: Eh?
Yoshimura: ...No... It maybe understandable. Since full story was not covered on newspapers. // ...Let's use a concrete number. / ...It's four people. // ...Four staff members of Construction Ministry who attempted to make Hinamizawa dam... have died already. / They died in unusual way.

Page 05:

Arakawa: How stupid! It was just a coincidence of misfortunes that often come one after another! // Just think! Our job is always related with this such dam project. / When we die on duty, it's believed to be a humble curse? We do not deserve suffering all those!
Yoshimura: If they died in a common way, I wouldn't say strange things as well. // ...But, they died abnormally.
Mion: ...Abnormally...?
Tonegawa: That's... about Kondou-san... who lived here last year...?
Yoshimura: Yeah. // ...It was big hits on newpapers.

Page 06:

Yoshimura: An incident happened in the middle of the night, on 20th November last year... // ...Using a kitchen knife, a man stabbed to dead his family one by one, when they were sleeping...

Page 07:

Yoshimura: About him, he cut off his own throat and dead too... That was a tragic incident.

Page 08:

Yoshimura: His name is Kondou Yoshiyuki. // He was a member of Development Division in River Bureau of Construction Ministry, like Arakawa-san and Tonegawa-san. // Because he was one of first staff members of Hinamizawa dam project, he visited Hinamizawa many times.
Mion: ...That's because he overworked...?
Yoshimura: And finally, it settled down with that reason. // However...

Page 09:

Yoshimura: No matter how many investigation had been done, / The police couldn't find out the main reason. // ...Did he get involved in kind of drug? / Such things had been rumored at that time... // However, in autospy result, it's reported they couldn't detect any effect of drugs... / His schedule at the time of the incident was overloaded, so the police made conclusion that was a spasmodical crazy act due to being overworked.
Arakawa: ...I think that was a tragic incident. / Surely it wasn't normal! // ...While it maybe true that, linking it with the curse of Oyashiro-sama immediately is too hasty!
Yoshimura: ...So true.

Page 10:

Yoshimura: If the incident happened only one time, / I wouldn't link it hastily with things like curse as well.
Tonegawa: Which reminds me, Yoshimura-san. You said that there were four members have died?
Yoshimura: Yeah.
Tonegawa: ...But besides Kondou-san's case, I absolutely haven't heard about others? / If members were dead, we should have received reports definitely. / Right...? Arakawa-kun!
Arakawa: .........
Yoshimura: ...Excuse me, Tonegawa-san. You transferred in this April?
Tonegawa: Eh... Yeah. / Until April, I was in Slope Conservation Division of Erosion Control Department.
Rika: ...They're hiding it.

Page 11:

Rika: ...Actually, there were more deaths.
Tonegawa: A- Arakawa-kun!? Is that true!?
Yoshimura: Right after Kondou-san's case, around the person in charge of Hinamizawa dam, one rumor took rise. / That rumor had been whispered before the incident. But until at least things happened, it was not a mere fairy-tale anymore.
Mion: That tale... by any chance...
Rika: Right...

Page 12:

Rika: ...It's Oyashiro-sama's curse......!

Page 13:

Tonegawa: Umm... / What does it tell? // I mean, Oyashiro-sama's tale...
Rika: ......... / ...Once upon a time... in this Hinamizawa village... // There was a poor old couple live with their three sons...

Page 14:

Rika: On contrary to two elders working hard on the field... // ...Their three sons didn't give a care to farm work, and they yearned for a life in luxury. // One day, they left also parents and ancestral fields behind, began a journey to capital.
Mion: All three men ran away at once. / ...Well, because of that, the grandfather and the grandmother had to keep up their work, / To protect ancestor's homeland just by two old people...
Rika: ...However, it won't work, right? ...After all, one day, both collapsed and stayed in bed from then on. // To protect ancestor's homeland they surely need helps from their sons. / ...Then the old couple prayed to Oyashiro-sama. / "...Please tell the sons to come back..."

Page 15:

Rika: ...Oyashiro-sama went to oldest son's side at first. // ...And she appeared in his dream, admonished him to return. / ...However, the oldest son who was tainted by glamorous life at capital, firmly refused. // Oyashiro-sama appeared in his dream for seven days seven nights. / ...But he didn't return to Hinamizawa.
[T/N: The text means counting 1 to 7]
Mion: Being stood by bedside every night is severe, isn't it? / ...This's just an area of harassment.
Tonegawa: ...And so?
Arakawa: In the end! / The oldest son was dead by curse...!

Page 16:

Rika: Next, Oyashiro-sama appeared in second son's dream. / ...But he didn't return too...
Arakawa: The second son became strange similarly in seventh day, and died after that!
Yoshimura: And... the third son became to fear by his brothers' unnatural deaths. / To run off it, he came back. // ...And parents and son unite their strength to protect the fields. / ...The story ends. // The fairy-tale is considered to tell us a custom... / Approved, people who were born in the village, to live and die in the village.

Page 17:

Yoshimura: ...That custom itself is not so rare.
Tonegawa: ...But... on the side... Kondou-san is not originally from this place, do you agree?
Yoshimura: Yeah, but it's not just that. // ...The point is the god called Oyashiro-sama is strict to villagers who try to leave Hinamizawa... / And outsiders who try to come in Hinamizawa. // ...Because she's the guardian god, right?

Page 18:

Arakawa: Do you know why the old people in dam opposition faction, every one of them like to talk about this story? / ...They were first amused. // ...Because they didn't think they still could hear a fairy-tale like this in modern society!
Yoshimura: That's right. It was a fairy-tale.
Arakawa: ...Up until Kondou-san's incident happend, // ...He had always said this before he died. / ..."It's been difficult to sleep recently"... / ..."Whenever I try to lie down, I don't feel at ease and wake up"...
Tonegawa: It's just he overworked?
Arakawa: Not only that...

Page 19:

Arakawa: He felt something's presence. / He turned on the light and searched, but nobody was here. // ...However, when he turned off the light, he felt it again... // ...Everyone was amused, put up the curse of Oyashiro-sama. / That, Oyashiro-sama appeared in his dream. // ...Kondou-san's state... ...was not a laughing matter just before he died.
Kondou: It exists... / It... exists...
Arakawa: .........He said "it exists". / ..."Every night when I try to sleep... it's there."

Page 20:

Arakawa: And then, the incident happened... / At that time, the fairy-tale was no longer a mere funny story.
Text: Murder scene photos (A) / "What happened to the happy family!?" Mystery behind the bizarre murder case!
Arakawa: After that, the office became a haunted house for a while! // When they worked overtime, "someone" stood at their back! / ...They got suspicious whiff in nap room! / Even on electric train, "something" followed them! / Everyone said similiar things! ...There's a limit to how stupid they can be!
Rika: They're not any stupid.

Page 21:

Rika: ...She really "exists"... That Oyashiro-sama...

Chapter 1: Sound of Rainfall

Page 05:

Mion: Ahahahahahaha! / It's started to rain massively! // Even the inside gets soaked!
Rika: That's why I said we should take along umbrellas...
Mion: If we took umbrellas, they would be an obstacle and we couldn't feel free to play, right!? / Well... it rained, so what else can we do! / Rika-san!

Page 06:

Rika: Geez... / You're still optimistic as always, Mion... // At any rate, the rain is heavy... I hope it will stop...
Mion: Don't worry, don't worry! // Ever since the dawn of mankind history, there've never been a rain that doesn't stop, nor a sun that doesn't rise! // Ahahahaha! I've said such a cool thing! A-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Rika: Go laughing to dead, you are. I consider you've already dead...

Page 07:

Rika: But, it was good. / I didn't think I could enjoy like this.
Mion: No-! Today's really--- // Total mess, very very, like crazy fun!!
Rika: It's just you overreacted... I don't feel it's bad, but...
Mion: Well, um... how do I gonna say... / ...I, you see, my personality is like that. // I always go wild... // Also had a thought that... maybe Rika-san thinks I'm too annoying...
Rika: .........

Page 08:

Rika: ...I don't have any thought Mion is annoying. // I like how you're noisy.
Mion: Really!? // When Rika-san asked me to go out, I was very happy. / I was asked by Rika-san~ Ah~! // So I set my plans all-cancel! Same with not going to school!
Rika: Is... is that so? // ...But... / ...I wonder skipping school to go play is alright?
Mion: It's fine! It's fine! // Because skipping Fujishima's lesson one day won't give any big change!
Teacher: Hmm, where have we gone to?
Rika: Is... is that so?

Page 09:

Mion: ...Also, if it weren't a weekday, we couldn't play till your heart content.
Rika: Skipping school to go play was worth... / ...huh?
Mion: It was, it was! Yes it was! // ...Honestly, when Rika-san, who look likes a sober person started talking me about skipping school to go play, I was a little surprised...
Rika: ...... / My talk made you surprised?
Mion: Yes it did!

Page 10:

Mion: Because Rika-san's more like a honor student-! / That Rika-san, secrectly said into my ears. // ...that "let's skip school on next Wednesday, okay?" / That day, I was like taking off from school already! // Perhaps I might get a confession!? Such things! / Our relationship eventually will step-up to one new level of sentiment!!
Rika (image): I love you!
Rika: ...That would never be, so don't worry.
Mion: Why can you declare that would so!? // If people love one another, they easily can pass over such things as the wall of gender!
Rika: ...I have no need to pass it.

Page 11:

Mion: This's such a remote place, right... // Next bus's even one hour, right...?
Rika: ...Moreover, it rains today...
Mion: In addition, this bus stop is a desolate place where rarely get a person, right...
Rika: ...Moreover, it rains today...
Mion: ...So that means... at least one hour! / Cumberer won't appear, right?
Rika: ...... // ...Moreover, it rains today...
Mion: You know, right... // And because of the raaaiiins!

Page 12:

Tonegawa: Well-! / We're saved, we're saved!
Arakawa: Phew! // It's really a heavy rain, right? I was all soaked.
Tonegawa: Yeah...
Mion: Because of the rain...
Tonegawa: ...Hahaha! Well well, I agree with you. / Arakawa-kun, what time does the next bus come?
Arakawa: Let's see...
Tonegawa: It won't come in least one hour, huh...
Arakawa: It seems the last bus just has left a short time ago...

Page 13:

Mion: Because of the rain---!!!
Arakawa: ? ...Did we do something...?
Tonegawa: ...I haven't gone to bath for a couple of days... She smells it?
Rika: ...The hindrance has come already. Too bad huh?
Mion: Damned~ ...If I have a chance, I'll do Sumaki to them-!
Tone+Ara (aside): I wonder if she smells it~
Mion: Rika-san, so we'll continue later!
Rika: You're right... I think it would be really good if you did Sumaki. // You would be r-e-w-a-r-d-e-d.
[T/N: Sumaki is a way to kill people, by using sedge mat to wind victim's body and throw him into a river.] - From my Meakashi-hen chp.1 translation.

Page 14:

Mion: Kyeeeehh!!!
Tone+Ara: Eeekk!!
Tonegawa: Mi-... Missy... you smell it after all...?
Mion: I smell, I smell! Of course, I smell!! // Look! That's why I told you! / You drank a lot, so your body gives out a smell!
Mion (side): Achoo!!
Tonegawa: Is... Is that so...?

Page 15:

Arakawa: See!? / For a man, appearance is the requisition!
Tonegawa: I'll... I'll notice next time. // ...However, that missy does not say she smells, right!?
Rika: ...It is not I smell.
Arakawa: ...Come to think of it... I don't very know either.
Tonegawa (side): Don't you agree?
Mion: I smell! Don't you know by their look!?
Rika: Their look?
Mion: Two suspicious men come to a God-forsaken place like this...

Page 16:

Mion: Of course, the reason is only one!
Arakawa: Heh?
Tonegawa: Reason?
Mion: Oh c'mon... When you says about a reason, it should be... // -thaaat!!
Rika: ...Please don't give it a mind... She's a little weird girl.
Rika (side): Nipah~
Mion: Kyu~n...

Page 17:

Mion: ...Ri-... Rika-san... ...It hurts very bad... ...Do you know it's our child in my stomach...!?
Rika: You want your body can't give birth?
Mion: Rika-san, it hurts, it extremely hurts...
Tonegawa: You two seems very close... Maybe you friends?
Mion: Absolutely we're not such friends! I and Rika-oneesama are closer than-! // -thaaat!!
Rika: We're friends... This girl is Mion, Sonozaki Mion.
Mion: Auu...
Rika: ...I'm Rika, Furude Rika.

Page 18:

Tonegawa: Aah, I'm greeting. My name is Tonegawa. / This is Arakawa-kun. As a side note, he's still single.
Arakawa: Tonegawa-san, please don't say unnecessary things!
Rika: ......What is Arakawa-san's hobby and occupation?
Tonegawa: C'mon! You have to answer nicely!
Arakawa: Eh!? // Aah, I... I like a bit of skiing! // Umm, my job is...
Rika: ...in Ministry of Construction.

Page 19:

Rika: ......the River Bureau of it... You're from the dam project?
Tonegawa: Eh?
Arakawa: Yes... ooh, you know us?
Mion: ...Heh... Rika-san, you know well. // ...That's what called "it's an easy deduction, my dear Watson"-!
Rika: ...Nothing with deduction... Walking in dressed like that, it's only people have relation with the dam project. // Also, isn't there a Ministry of Construction's mark?
Mion: Oh!? You're right!
Tonegawa: Ha-ha-ha! It's as missy say. You have my admiration, miss great detective. / Seems we should do self-introduction once again.
Tonegawa (side): You got us there.

Page 20:

Tonegawa: Came in this April, from Slope Conservation Division of Erosion and Sediment Control Department. / I'm Tonegawa Katsumi from Urban River Office in River Bureau of Construction Ministry.
Arakawa: I'm Arakawa Kazuya from Urban River Office too.
Mion: Also, I'm Sonozaki Mion, we haven't known one another.
Rika: Also, what I haven't known is your annoying brain... // ......... // You think I'll shake your hand? / ...With the people who are going to destroy Hinamizawa!?
Tonegawa: Ugh!
Arakawa: This is harsh...

Page 21:

Rika: ...... // ...I don't allow such thing as a dam in Hinamizawa!
Tonegawa: But a dam in Hinamizawa is necessary.
Arakawa: It may contribute most of all deed in irrigation and flood control at downstream area.
Rika: No!
Tonegawa: The large generated electric power from the dam is very important too. / With 350.000 kilowatt at maximum, it will provide a boost to Japan's rapid economic growth.
Rika: No!
Arakawa: We also can't discount the dam's effectiveness to regional development. / Your home town may contribute to the betterment of industry and culture in every city along railway line.
Rika: No! // Although you gloss over it with any pretty words, it's still no... // Those aren't the reason to sink Hinamizawa into dam lake.
Tonegawa: Of course, we know your feeling. / But, Hinamizawa has a number of favorable conditions for dam construction.

Page 22:

Tonegawa: One is terrain condition. Hinamizawa is the place where the width of Hinamigawa river is ultra narrow. Moreover, the bedrock is granite. / ...They are the best conditions for a dam installation site.
Rika: So what?
Tonegawa: It's close to electricity demand center. To reduce the loss in electric transmission, it's important too. As I just said, carrying capacity at maximum is 350.000 kilowatt.
Arakawa: This will get the whole Shikoku land's electric energy consumption in years ago.
Rika: So what?
Tonegawa: The height of water storage efficiency may be also counted. In Hinamizawa Dam's case, it's 200.
Arakawa: This will get 200 times of the dam capacity.
Rika: So what?
Tonegawa: In other words, when we build a dam in Hinamizawa, water levels rise, and we'll have a dam lake with 30 kilometer in all lenght.
Arakawa: This will get the range from Tokyo to Omiya.
Rika: So what?
Tonegawa: The convenience of aggregate supply is also important. Hinamizawa Dam's aggregate with 1.500.000 cubic meter of capacity is need calculating.
Arakawa: This will get 6 maru-buildings.
Mion: While you're at it, we'll get a trip to the hot spring.
[Personal note: How scary this page is... I don't know what I was doing...]

Page 23:

Rika: So what!?
Mion: Heh!? / ...Hahahahaha! It would be nice if we got... I think that...
Rika: So what?
Mion: Generally, they'll give invitation to a pair, right! ...If we get, we'll go to the hot spring together-! // When come to there, we'll rub our back! And after that, play ping-pong in Yukata clothes-!
Rika: So whaaat!?
Mion: After that, we'll look firework show in river beach through windows-!
Rika: So whaaaaat!?
Mion: When the atmosphere has grown livelier, suddenly my fingers twine about you-!/ Rika-san will be shy while entrust yourself to-...!
Tonegawa: The young of nowadays has good relationship...
Arakawa: It's not like you say...
[Personal note: I leave these SFXs for you. It'll be fun if we do.]

Page 24:

Rika: ...Anyway, / I do not agree the dam!
Tonegawa: Vi- Vi- Vi- Violence is wrong!
Arakawa: W- W- W- Well! / I didn't agree the dam in first place too-!
Tonegawa: Arakawa-kun!
Arakawa: A dam is the source of environmental destruction, right-! Right-!? Eeeek!!
Mion: ...Just puch now has shown effect... If my pancreas is ruptured, what will I do-?
Rika: Anyway, dam is a no, absolutely no!
Mion: Why do you not allow it-?

Page 25:

Rika: There's no need for a reason...
Mion: That isn't good for a rebuttal. / You must give a proper reason why not. // I don't think a dam is no good. / Didn't we learn at society? It prevents flood for us.
Rika: It's sophistication!
Tonegawa: ...How pain that Hinamizawa citizens feel, we fully do understand. / Of course, we're aiming to provide a reasonable compensation.
Rika: Compensation for eviction?
Tonegawa: It will be our pleasure to render you a new mansion in the city. / Not only close the station, it also has a wonderful environment which fulfilling public facilities.
Screen: Close the station, experience! / 07 minutes by walking
Mion: Right, right! That's it! / It's delicious-♪

Page 26:

Mion: ...Since I was born in Hinamizawa, there's no way I'm not attached. // However... // Ending the springtime of life in a deep in mountains village that has a few hundreds of households, isn't it solitary... // But living in a city is good. There're something like that or this one that you've seen only on the TV.
Rika: You're Tokyanized and Televisionism. / ...They've been full in your mind since we went sightseeing in Tokyo.
Mion: You think I'm a maniac is okay! / But please give a thought!
[T/N: Lolz, I found those words from here:

Page 27:

Mion: Do you know which building is highest in Hinamizawa!? / It's the three-story fire brigade building! // Is there any place has an escalator!? / It's no, right!? // In fact, we have an elevator! // It's the one for carrying lunch meals in elementary school / ...I don't liiikkkeee that!
Rika: You mean the life in the city is more better than in your birthplace? / ...Our ancestors will cry as well.
Mion: I really hate to end my life in a countryside deep in the mountains like this! / I wanna live normally, like a normal girl, in a normal city, and surrounded in normal things!
Rika: ......... // You think Hinamizawa people can live in a city!?
Mion: ...!

Page 28:

Mion: It's personal! / If you like this place like that, just live as you pleases. // Please don't drag me into!
Rika: ...Mion...
Mion: My family is poor, so we couldn't move anywhere... / Thanks to compensation for eviction, finally we'll have money to go live in the city! / ...If the dam project were stopped, what would happen to us!?

Page 29:

Mion: Don't tie me in a place deep in the mountains like this anymore!

Page 30:

Rika: I go wash my face.
Mion: Ah... // Ri-... Rika-san...!
Arakawa: ...Urgh!
Tonegawa: Arakawa-kun!

Page 31:

Mion: Umm... Is he alright?
Tonegawa: Just after holiday break, it seems he doesn't feel well... and fast be painful.
Mion: U- Umm... If he needs a toilet, it's behind...? / Ah! // But... Rika-san's in there now...?
Tonegawa: This is not the stomach ache... Are you alright!? Arakawa-kun!
Arakawa: ...I'm sorry... it will go away... soon, so...
Tonegawa: That's because you worked hard! You should meet doctor at once.
Arakawa: I'm sorry. I feel better now... / My head's still pounding though... Okay.
Tonegawa: Isn't that a sign of subarachnoid hemorrhage or something!? / Anyway, take a break tomorrow! ...Meet doctor in big hospital for me!
Arakawa: .....You're right... I'm sorry... It's really... fast becoming pain...
Mion: ...... // ......!

Page 32:

Mion: ...Now that you mention it, I get headache too. / ...Yeah, it's a pounding one.
Tonegawa: It's not good. Maybe you caught a cold.
Mion: ...Hahah... // ...Because of the rain...
Radio: ......HQ calling Car-1, please respond. / ......Car-1, answer...
[Personal note: The SFXs are cracked sound, I don't know how to translate them.]

Page 33:

Mion: It's.. a persistent rain, right...?
Rika: Right... The rain seems about to stop but not stop...
Mion: Yeah...
Rika: I wonder if Arakawa-san that went to toilet is alright...
Mion: Yeah... // Huh? // There's someone coming...

Page 34:

Yoshimura: Well well-! Ha-ha-ha-ha! / A rain likes turning a bath tub on head! // Hold up umbrella or not, it's the same. // Uh-heh... Even the inside my pants gets soaked... / ...Wanna take a look?
Mion: Oh? // I'm rarely able to see it, so please-!
Yoshimura: ...Ah, no... I didn't think you would say that...

Page 35:

Rika: ...Is it someone you know?
Mion: Well... I never want to know an old man like that.
Rika: But, aren't you two chatting in close?
Mion: No no! My heart belongs to Rika-san only! / I just chimed in the lonely middle-aged man's soliloquy-!
Yoshimura: Wha-! / That "middle-aged" is so cruel! Even I look like this, I haven't been 28 yet!
Mion: If we round off, isn't it 30? If you were 30, you would be a venerable middle-aged man already-!
Yoshimura: Excuse me... // But a man's charm is from thirties!
Mion: Whaaat!?

Page 36:

Mion: Miso flavor-!? ...Oh my god-!! Rika-san, this man is dangerous-!!
Yoshimura: It's not miso! It's thirties-!!
Mion: On top of that, what's with hemorrhoids-? / This man is too dangerous-!
Yoshimura: ......I lose, I lose. Fine with hemorrhoids... / ...I can't win a young girl...
Mion: Rika-san, that old man is so funny-! / If we ask, maybe he'll give us spending money-!
Rika: ...It's really your first meeting? ...You two have a good conversation.
[T/N: Yoshimura says "misoji" (thirties age). But Mion thinks it's "miso" (miso soup) and "ji" (hemorrhoids).]

Page 37:

Mion: That's the same with I and Rika-san. // Although it's our first meeting, didn't we chat openly-? / Well, mostly it's me do all the accosting though... // Maybe only me was excited alone...
Rika: ...It's surely not... / I was happy too.
Mion: ......... / ...I'm sorry... I said too much before.
Rika: ...No... / It's me who say sorry to you...

Page 38:

Yoshimura: Wow... / A great shedding manner huh? I didn't think you took it in that direction...
Mion: Oh shaddup! We were in good feeling-!
Yoshimura: Don't threaten me. I understand, I understand! ...I won't interject anything anymore! / Please take its course as you want!
Mion: Whaaat-!? What is "its course"-!? / Oh my god-! Rika-san, this man is dirtie-!
Yoshimura: ? // ...You are Rika-chan?
Rika: Yes...
Yoshimura: I'm Yoshimura... Yoshimura Mitsuru. Nice to meet you.
[T/N: Yoshimura says "ikutoko made iku(-chattekure)", it means "take its course". But Mion thinks it means "come (cum) till orgasm".]
[Personal note: I lolz... Leave it to you, my dear editor.]

Page 39:

Rika: What is Yoshimura-san's hobby and occupation?
Yoshimura: Hah!? // Well well-! Ha-ha-ha! / Even marrige interviews are not straightforward that much. // I like lots of things... / A free writer is my job.
Rika: Free writer...? // It's a relation to part-time jobber...?
Mion: He's a free magazine journalist.
Yoshimura: ...Next bus... hmm... oh? It's a lot of time. / ...How luck I am-! ...I can take shelter from rain with young girls!

Page 40:

Tonegawa: Oyah, a friend of your?
Mion: He's a strange old man.
Yoshimura: How severely! Hi there, I'm Yoshimura.
Tonegawa: Greeting, I'm Tonegawa from Urban River Office in River Bureau of Construction Ministry.
Arakawa: Greeting, I'm Arakawa from Urban River Office.
Mion: Greeting, I'm Sonozaki, we haven't known one another.
Yoshimura: ...S- Seems like you are close... Everyone is friends...? // ...But I see it's enough to be close... Yeah. // Ah! / Everyone may be at that!? / Let's take photos a group of four unique close friends!

Page 41:

Yoshimura: ...Yes. Smile, smile-! / Nice~ Everyone, nice smiles! / Well... This impression truly likes... // Rotten Ministry of Construction members are doing compensated dating with active high school girls in Hinamizawa. // Ju-... Just kidding...

Page 42:

Radio: HQ, answer. HQ, answer...... End deployment all cars...
Yoshimura: ...Er... Also thunderstorm! ...The weather has been very bad, right?
Arakawa: It's true... // But, do you feel the sky over there is a bit clearer?
Tonegawa: Unexpectedly, perhaps when the bus comes, it will have stopped rainning and been sunny.
Yoshimura: I hope so...

Page 43:

Mion: ...Yoshimura-san, do you come here to collect datas? / ...I guess, about Hinamizawa Dam?
Yoshimura: ...Yeah. It just has connection to dam case. / ...However, I don't come here for the dam.
Rika: ...The Citizens' opposition movement around the dam project?
Yoshimura: No.
Tonegawa: The dam construction's influence on environment?
Yoshimura: It's not.
Arakawa: The contribution of the dam to area?
Yoshimura: A-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

Page 44:

Yoshimura: You get it all wrong. / It's not such serious things. // ...The reason I come here to collect datas... / ......
Tonegawa: ......What is it? ...Please don't put on airs.
Yoshimura: ...Do you know... Oyashiro-sama?
