Higurashi Console Arcs (Pt 66): Neo Returns to Miotsukushi Omote & Gives Teppei A Beating
[BLIND LET'S PLAY]
With Miotsukushi Ura completed, Neo returns to Miotsukushi Omote to continue the tale of Rika and Keiichi prepping for their upcoming final battle against Takano and Tokyo. Right away Neo witnesses Akasaka reuniting with Ooshi and his associates once again, and after being presented with an opportunity to spend some time with them Akasaka asks Ooshi and these men about Rika Furude's current status, which leads him to learning about the Curse of Oyashiro-sama... with the deaths playing out EXACTLY how Rika herself had said they would back when Akasaka first met Rika during his first visit in Hinamizawa. Realizing the significance of this, Akasaka reveals to Ooshi and his associates of the prophecy Rika made to Akasaka and decides he wants to look into whatever is happening in Hinamizawa alongside Ooshi.
Later, Keiichi helps Shion and her boss at Angel Mort come up with a marketing strategy to help them bring more customers to Angel Mort during the Watanagashi Festival, which THEN leads to Keiichi and Shion discussing the nature of Takano's scrapbook and the Curse of Oyashiro-sama itself.
However, during this they discover, much to their horror, that Rina Mamiya had been murdered. Realizing that this would inevitably lead to Teppei returning to Hinamizawa and taking Satako away, Neo and the others find themselves faced with yet another new, yet familiar problem to deal with. However, Akasaka, who happened to be near Keiichi and Shion during their discussion, overhears them bring up Rika and approaches them...
Around the same time, Rika desperately searches Hinamizawa for any signs of Satako, until she confirms that Satako had indeed been abducted by Teppei and had taken her back to the Houjou residence. Rika, not willing to stand by and let Satako suffer, decides to directly intervene, first by trying to convince Satako to come with her, which fails when Teppei himself shows up and tries to scare Rika off. In response to this, Rika decides to use a much more VIOLENT approach to try and deal with Teppei, while MORE FIRMLY trying to talk some sense into Satako.
As the situation escalates and becomes more violent, and more people get involved in the scuffle, Neo and the others do everything in their power to rescue Satako even at the risk of their own lives...
