Line 71:
Hinagata explains that this story is an abridged version of the truth; after surviving autumn, the villagers grew greedy and began hunting deer on Rokugami's mountain in search of more golden antlers. The villagers massacre the deer on the mountain. As punishment, a snowfall of black soot rains over the village, destroying their crops, irreversibly staining all of the golden antlers black and tarnishing their meat. The only way the villagers can save themselves from the soot is for one of them to be sacrificed; the sacrificed's bloodline must carry the soot for eternity. After some deliberating, the villagers attempt to minimize the curse by using Suzunome as a sacrifice. They capture her and force her into the village's large bell, along with all of the soot they could gather. Mutsu attempts to save her but is unsuccessful and is banished from the village. By the 17th century, Suzunome's descendants had accumulated so much soot that there was a danger of the seal breaking; to combat this, the villagers invoked a magical spell that would induce multiple offspring, splitting the soot among several bloodlines. Suzunome's 17th century descendant had quintuplets, the descendants of whom are Hinagata, Kurokami, Harumiya, Minobe, and Nunokawa.
After the credits, the player is given the option to choose the "bringer of calamity", which decides the next chapter. The bringer of calamity can be Kanae Minobe, Tsubakiko Harumiya, or Riria Nunokawa.
===== Kanae Minobe =====
[[Kanae Minobe]] has a nightmare as Elice, wherein she has a tea party with the [[w:Mad Hatter|Hatter]] and Mr. Rabbit. She learns that the secret to the Hatter's wealth is pension fraud; his mother died a year prior and he lives off of her continued pension checks.
In the real world, Minobe is drugged by her stepfather, Mr. Tanaka, who forcefully tattoos a caterpillar onto her body as part of a cultish initiation ritual. Minobe escapes soon after and stays with her clubmate, [[Tsubakiko Harumiya]]. That night, the spirit of Rokugami's curse begins to appear to Minobe.
Line 84:
In the epilogue, Minobe has an enjoyable time with her clubmates and rekindles her relationship with her mother. During a club meeting, she confesses her love for Susuhara and kisses him.
===== Tsubakiko Harumiya =====
After a dream, [[Tsubakiko Harumiya]] reflects on her childhood desire to be the "perfect wife", which was hampered by her proclivities towards violence when growing up. This inspires her to visit [[Suzumu Susuhara]] and bring him breakfast, which she overcooks. The pair meet up with [[Natsuya Atsuta]] at the Iwaimoto Shopping District and come across a classmate being bullied. Enraged, Harumiya assaults the bullies and forces them to leave. Immediately afterwards, Harumiya becomes embarrassed and avoids Susuhara for the rest of the day. However, Susuhara finds her after school and expresses his admiration for her actions. While walking home, Harumiya decides to confess her love to Susuhara, however she freezes when she sees a grotesque figure in the distance. A concerned Susuhara leads her home.
Line 97:
In the epilogue, Harumiya is welcomed back to school, having impressed everyone by beating Kamenuma and his fellow delinquents. She confesses her love for Susuhara and kisses him.
===== Riria Nunokawa =====
After an exhausting routine with Flower High School, [[Riria Nunokawa]] rests backstage. She overhears fans of Flower High School critiquing her performance. She then hallucinates a fight between herself and a younger version of herself, Magical Lily. Later, Nunokawa hallucinates Magical Lily usurping Nunokawa's place in the LCSC. The hallucinations continue, with Magical Lily appearing in her home and in her classroom. Amidst her despair, Nunokawa learns that [[Suzumu Susuhara]] is capable of seeing both herself and Magical Lily. Unbeknownst to her, the Susuhara that she is confiding in is actually a doppelgänger created by the spirit of Rokugami's curse.
[[Mayu Hinagata]] explains to the real Susuhara that Nunokawa is afflicted with [[w:Syndrome of subjective doubles|subjective doubles syndrome]], which results in the dual appearance of Riria and Magical Lily. The spirit of Rokugami's curse forces Riria into a hallucination with the doppelgänger Susuhara wherein the two strip each other down, ripping out and consuming each other's entrails.
Nunokawa, now consumed by the spirit of Rokugami's curse, manipulates the real Susuhara into entering the aforementioned hallucination. However, Susuhara resists the influence of the spirit of Rokugami's curse. He strikes the spirit using his Divine Tribute Style, but learns that any attack inflicted on the spirit is also inflicted on Nunokawa. The spirit of Rokugami's curse attempts to kill Susuhara and Nunokawa using a giant hammer, but Susuhara realizes he can defeat the spirit by striking Nunokawa's heart and eliminating the lingering negative influence of Magical Lily. He does so, destroying the spirit of Rokugami's curse.
In the real world, a newly-conscious Nunokawa learns of what transpired from Susuhara and Hinagata. She pulls out her smartphone and learns that Susuhara's strike had shattered it. Hinagata shows Nunokawa the glut of positive comments made about her online and discourages her from seeking out negative comments in the future. In the epilogue, Nunokawa purchases a flip phone that is incapable of accessing the Internet. During a club meeting, she confesses her love for Susuhara and kisses him.
===== Toé Kurokami =====
After completing the previous three story arcs, the spirit of Rokugami's curse vows revenge on Susuhara. Rokugami speaks to Susuhara, revealing himself to be the divine force behind Susuhara's Divine Tribute Style.
