Line 18:
The club decides to hold a tournament at Yoshiroh Sonozaki's toy shop. Over the course of the beginning of the tournament, Rika laments how she has lived through this exact scenario countless times and thus knows exactly how it will play out. Rika remembers that [[Keiichi Maebara]] started to show awareness of parallel worlds during {{meakashi}} and decides to confide in him her lamentations, hoping that Keiichi would again remember the existence of parallel worlds. Unfortunately, Keiichi makes fun of Rika's claims of parallel worlds and insists that there is no such thing as "fate." In order to prove herself right, Rika accurately predicts how the club members would be split up in the tournament and which games each group would be playing. Though initially surprised by Rika's apparent clairvoyance, Keiichi shocks Rika by sending back the game his group was meant to play, thus changing the his "fate." This turn of events inspires hope in Rika that she might be able to solve the mysteries of Watanagashi during this timeline. After the tournament, the shop owner distributes dolls to the club members with the exception of [[Mion Sonozaki]]. Rika, in an attempt to avoid a repeat of {{watanagashi}}, attempts to influence reality by telling Keiichi to give Mion the doll. Rika is then surprised when Keiichi gives Mion the doll before she can actually intervene. Keiichi claims that the reason he gave Mion the doll was because of a [[Watanagashi-hen|dream in which he saw awful things transpire from not giving her the doll]]. [[Rena Ryuuguu]] reveals to the group that she too has had [[Tsumihoroboshi-hen|strange dreams which led her to confront her father on the state of the Ryuuguu family after her parents' divorce]]. Keiichi wonders internally about how [[Shion Sonozaki]] and [[Satoko Houjou]] have become so close recently, implying that Shion also had [[Meakashi-hen|dreams that have led her to become close to Satoko]]. Rika becomes filled with hope after seeing that all of the club members are beginning to be influenced by parallel worlds.
When night falls, Rika speaks with [[Hanyuu]], a young girl in a shrine maiden outfit visible only to Rika. During this conversation, Rika reveals that her ability to go backwards into parallel worlds has diminished to the point where she can now only go back to a mere two weeks before the [[Watanagashi Festival]]. Her waning powers have caused Rika to lose hope in her ability to discover who consistently manages to kill [[
After some time, [[Ritsuko Mamiya]] ends up being killed by Sonozaki yakuza for attempting to steal money from the Sonozaki family. This results in her lover, [[Teppei Houjou]] being forced to return to [[Hinamizawa]]. Upon returning, Teppei finds Satoko and forces her to stay with him. Teppei's return crushes Rika's hope for the world of ''Minagoroshi-hen'' as everything prior to this had been going surprisingly well. Furthermore, Rika has never been able to save Satoko from her abusive uncle in any prior world that Rika has been in. Unlike prior worlds, however, the rest of the club decides to take nonviolent action to save Satoko and ends up organizing a protest group that repeatedly visits the [[child
Following this turn of events, Rika is filled with determination to change her fate and discover who is behind her death as well as the deaths of [[Jirou Tomitake]] and [[Miyo Takano]]. Rika makes several requests of Jirou, Miyo, [[Kyousuke Irie]], and detective [[Kuraudo Ooishi]] to protect her. Miyo, who controls a high-end security team known as the [[Yamainu]], promises to have a team of bodyguards protect Rika and Ooishi does everything within his power to accommodate Rika's requests. Despite her warnings, Jirou and Miyo never take Rika's warnings of their deaths seriously.
On the night of Watanagashi, Rika has Ooishi put a squad car near the [[border of the village]], the place where Jirou's body is always found. After the [[
Later, Ooishi talks with Rika about Jirou's death and Miyo's apparent death, both of which Rika had predicted and informed Ooishi about in advance. Ooishi becomes suspicious that the body burned in the Gifu mountains isn't actually Miyo which leads Rika to become suspicious of the Yamainu unit that is protecting her.
