During the [[Watanagashi Festival]], the priest of the [[Furude Shrine]] began having heart problems. He was taken to the [[Irie Clinic]] but was ultimately pronounced dead from a heart attack. On the same night, the priest's wife went missing. Her slippers and a suicide note were found in front of the [[Onigafuchi swamp]], leading the public to believe that the priest's wife killed herself to appease Oyashiro's anger. In truth, the incident was orchestrated by the [[Mountain Hounds]] under orders from [[Miyo Takano]].

The priest was killed to maintain the appearance of one death and one disappearance every year. |

[[Miyo Takano]] manages to fulfill her plans to "ascend to godhood" by killing [[Rika Furude]] and causing the [[Great Hinamizawa Disaster]]. Upon Rika's death, [[Hanyuu]] uses her powers to take Rika back in time to a parallel world. Rika goes through several different timelines attempting to defeat Takano, including {{onikakushi}}/{{meakashi}}, {{watanagashi}}, {{tatarigoroshi}}, {{himatsubushi}}, {{tsumihoroboshi}}, and {{minagoroshi}}. Every time Rika fails, Hanyuu takes Rika back in time to a new parallel world. After just over 100 years worth of time-hopping, Rika and Hanyuu manage to defeat Takano in {{matsuribayashi}}. Shortly after defeating Takano, Rika is hit by a truck and falls into a month-long coma. During her coma, she dreams of the world of {{saikoroshi}}, wherein no one dies. When she wakes, Hanyuu informs Rika that she won't use her power again, even when Rika dies. |
