Higurashi Ch.3 (Pt 5): Neo Is Told About the Curse Yet Again & Learns Other Interesting Things
26[BLIND LET'S PLAY]
On their way back home from the barbecue, Keiichi decides to ask Mion and Rena about Satoshi's supposed transfer in further detailed, being encouraged to do so by Shion's intense reaction to the same topic earlier. Mion reluctantly decides to reveal the truth about Satoshi's transfer, and how its likely connected to a curse from Hinamizawa's guardian deity "Oyashiro-sama" that has been supposedly affecting the village for the past several years. Much of this is information Neo is already familiar with, but rather than feel disappointment over not learning much of anything new about Satoshi what he IS told here helps to further confirm to Neo that several key events and information throughout the Question Arc chapters appear to stay consistent.
But while he is taking in what Mion is telling Keiichi, Rena starts to rant about the curse in detail and with an intensity that makes everybody increasingly uncomfortable, until Mion forcibly stops her. Afterward, everyone soon parts ways, but Mion asks Keiichi not to bring up the topic of Oyashiro-sama's curse around Rena again, for obvious reasons, and Keiichi agrees to do so.
Later on, Neo takes the time to check out some of the tips he unlocks in this episode, and some of them contain some information he finds to be quite interesting...
