Summary

Mion Sonozaki asks Keiichi Maebara to host the auction at the upcoming Watanagashi Festival, promising him three years worth of tickets to Angel Mort's Dessert Festival in return. The club visits Da Vinci toy shop to convince Yoshiro Sonozaki to donate items to the auction. They get distracted by a mahjong table and are interrupted by Kuraudo Ooishi. Ooishi shows the group how to perform a mahjong trick called tsubame gaeshi. Mamoru Akasaka arrives at the store, exciting Rika. He reminisces about the last time he met Rika, thanking her for potentially saving his wife's life. Rika asks him to stay in Hinamizawa until the Watanagashi Festival. The episode match cuts to Rika bleeding to death on the floor, with a deranged Akasaka standing over her with a knife. He proceeds to burn the house down as the club members and the police plead with him outside. The story switches to another loop wherein Akane Sonozaki slaughters the Sonozaki family as well as Rika. Again, the story switches to a loop wherein Rika is taken to the Onigafuchi swamp and drowned by Kiichirou Kimiyoshi. Finally, the story switches to a loop wherein Rika is beaten to death by Keiichi Maebara.
