"Higurashi: When They Cry"
**[01:32] ---**
"Friday, June 10th"
**[01:40] ---**
What's wrong?
**[01:44] ---**
Oh, nothing!
**[01:51] ---**
You haven't skipped breakfast once since
we moved here! I'm so proud of you.
**[02:00] ---**
Oh, isn't it about time for you
to meet up with Rena-*chan*?
**[02:08] ---**
Thanks for breakfast!
**[02:10] ---**
Have a good day at school!
**[02:15] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*! Good morning!
**[02:19] ---**
Why are you always here so early?
**[02:21] ---**
You can sleep in
every now and then, you know.
**[02:25] ---**
But then you'd have to wait for me!
**[02:27] ---**
I wouldn't wait for you.
**[02:29] ---**
But I always wait for *you*...
**[02:32] ---**
Don't care. I'd ditch you
in a heartbeat if you were late.
**[02:35] ---**
Why are you so mean to me? Why?
**[02:39] ---**
Just kidding. I wouldn't ditch you.
**[02:41] ---**
Th-Thanks.
**[02:43] ---**
I'd wait for you till you showed,
no matter how long it took.
**[02:49] ---**
No matter how long?
**[02:58] ---**
Hey, there they are.
You guys sure took your sweet time!
**[03:02] ---**
Says the girl who always takes *her* sweet time.
**[03:04] ---**
Morning, Mii-*chan*!
**[03:07] ---**
Morning, Rena.
**[03:08] ---**
Long time no see, Kei-*chan*!
How many years has it been?
**[03:12] ---**
I was gone for two days, jeez!
**[03:15] ---**
Only two days? Okay.
**[03:17] ---**
How was your trip home? Good?
**[03:19] ---**
I went back for a funeral,
so I was busy the whole time.
**[03:23] ---**
Hey, did you get time to look for that thing?
**[03:25] ---**
You know, that Western game catalog!
**[03:27] ---**
Did you hear what I just said?
I didn't have any free time!
**[03:32] ---**
Aww.
**[03:40] ---**
Well, well...
**[03:45] ---**
Trying to test my skills, are you?
**[03:48] ---**
What's going on, guys?
**[03:50] ---**
Stay back, Rena! She's at it again!
**[03:52] ---**
Huh? By she, you mean...
**[03:54] ---**
Look!
**[03:55] ---**
Could this be any more obvious,
Satoko Hojo?!
**[03:58] ---**
Guess the game is on again today.
**[04:01] ---**
No, this is Satoko we're up against.
There must be more to it.
**[04:06] ---**
It appears to be a normal blackboard eraser.
**[04:09] ---**
No rocks in it or anything.
**[04:11] ---**
Like that one from your first day of school?
That bump on your head was no joke.
**[04:16] ---**
So why don't you just open
the door and let it fall down?
**[04:20] ---**
No way! That's what she *wants* me to do!
**[04:23] ---**
The eraser is a distraction!
**[04:25] ---**
That means...
**[04:33] ---**
It's a terrifying combination trap.
**[04:49] ---**
Ow, ow...
**[04:52] ---**
My, what do we have here?
**[04:54] ---**
Good morning, Keiichi-*san*.
Causing a ruckus at this early hour?
**[04:59] ---**
That was a step up
from your usual traps, Satoko!
**[05:03] ---**
I haven't the faintest idea what you mean!
**[05:06] ---**
Why, you little--
**[05:09] ---**
Ow, ow...
**[05:14] ---**
Pain, pain, go away.
**[05:18] ---**
Good morning, Rika-*chan*!
**[05:20] ---**
Good morning, Rena.
**[05:22] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[05:25] ---**
Rika-*chan*'s so sweet.
**[05:28] ---**
Unlike some kids I know.
**[05:29] ---**
Lies and slander! What proof do you have that...
**[05:35] ---**
Fair warning, my forehead flick
can split plywood in half.
**[05:38] ---**
No! Don't touch me, you brute!
**[05:42] ---**
Hey, people are gonna get the wrong idea!
**[05:51] ---**
Don't cry, Satoko!
**[05:53] ---**
Chin up, okay!
**[05:55] ---**
You'll get Keiichi next time with
an even bigger and better trap!
**[06:01] ---**
Hold on a sec.
**[06:04] ---**
Satoko-*chan* is crying...
**[06:06] ---**
But it's so kyute!
**[06:07] ---**
--I wanna take her home!
**[06:10] ---**
--Please don't.
--I wanna take her home!
**[06:11] ---**
"Sunday, June 12th"
**[06:14] ---**
Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, Kei-*chan*.
**[06:18] ---**
Bother me? You're gonna give me
a tour of Hinamizawa.
**[06:21] ---**
I should be thanking you for your time.
**[06:23] ---**
Hey, where's Rena?
**[06:26] ---**
She's never late like this.
**[06:28] ---**
She said she's making lunch for you,
so she's probably pulling out all the stops.
**[06:32] ---**
Though I hope she doesn't go too overboard.
**[06:35] ---**
Sorry I'm late!
**[06:37] ---**
Here we go.
**[06:39] ---**
Kei-*chan*, you'd better take responsibility
for all that, seeing as it's your fault.
**[06:41] ---**
Y-You're right. I'm a man.
**[06:44] ---**
I'll take care of it!
**[06:46] ---**
Huh? R-Responsibility for what? For what?!
**[07:20] ---**
This is the Furude Shrine!
**[07:23] ---**
They're gonna hold a festival here next Sunday.
**[07:27] ---**
Really? Isn't it a little early
for summer festivals, though?
**[07:32] ---**
Watanagashi is a festival
celebrating the end of winter.
**[07:51] ---**
Eat up!
**[07:53] ---**
And make sure you eat all of it.
**[07:55] ---**
You're in for a world of pain
if you make Rena cry.
**[07:58] ---**
I'm a man. I'll try my best, but...
**[08:01] ---**
This is a lot of food!
**[08:02] ---**
What in the world is happening here?
**[08:08] ---**
Hello, everyone.
**[08:12] ---**
We're going to eat this gourmet meal
that Rena made for us.
**[08:15] ---**
Yes, I can see that!
**[08:18] ---**
Why have you laid out a tarp on our property?!
**[08:22] ---**
Shrines are public places!
You can't keep us from picnicking here!
**[08:25] ---**
Keiichi's right. Everyone can use this space.
**[08:29] ---**
Boy, Rika-*chan* really is such a sweetheart!
**[08:33] ---**
Come have a seat and dig in!
**[08:35] ---**
--Thank you so much!
**[08:36] ---**
--Stop right there, peon!
--Thank you so much!
**[08:38] ---**
Wherever am I supposed to sit?
**[08:40] ---**
Nowhere, because you're not
getting any of this food!
**[08:43] ---**
N-No, it's fine! You can
have some, too, Satoko-*chan*...
**[08:47] ---**
Not! I'm gonna eat it first!
**[08:53] ---**
Rika...
**[08:54] ---**
Here, take these chopsticks!
**[09:01] ---**
Boy, Kei-*chan*, you're pretty good
at roping people into stuff.
**[09:05] ---**
We'll need to work fast too,
or they'll eat everything!
**[09:09] ---**
No kidding.
**[09:10] ---**
Us old farts better get in on
the action while we can!
**[09:14] ---**
You're mine!
**[09:18] ---**
Hey! Elbows are cheating!
**[09:24] ---**
No hamburg steak for you!
**[09:28] ---**
The hour of your defeat is nigh, Satoko Hojo!
**[09:31] ---**
Not the meatballs!
**[09:33] ---**
My, they're so plump and juicy,
just phenomenal!
**[09:37] ---**
Fine, then I'll take these *tamagoyaki*!
**[09:42] ---**
Wow, they really melt in your mouth!
**[09:46] ---**
Man, Rena's cooking is so good!
**[09:49] ---**
It's delicious!
**[09:51] ---**
It's the best.
**[09:59] ---**
Bye, guys! See you all tomorrow.
**[10:01] ---**
Thanks for showing me around today, Mion.
**[10:02] ---**
Bye!
**[10:04] ---**
Thanks for hanging out with me, Keiichi-*kun*.
**[10:07] ---**
Did you have fun today?
**[10:08] ---**
Yeah, loads! I'm kinda bummed
we're all going home.
**[10:12] ---**
Well... would it be okay if we stopped
somewhere on our way back? Would it?
**[10:17] ---**
Sure, but where?
**[10:29] ---**
"NO TRESPASSING"
**[10:37] ---**
Wonder what's here, wonder what's here!
**[10:44] ---**
You wanted to go climb a pile of trash, Rena?
**[10:47] ---**
It's not trash! To me, it's a pile of treasure!
**[10:51] ---**
Maybe I'll find something kyute...
I can't wait, I can't wait!
**[10:55] ---**
Hey, hold up!
**[10:59] ---**
It's okay, you just wait over
there, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[11:02] ---**
Sheesh.
**[11:21] ---**
Whoa, you scared me!
**[11:23] ---**
What?! *You* scared *me*!
**[11:25] ---**
Sorry about that. I didn't mean to startle you.
**[11:28] ---**
Do you live here in Hinamizawa?
**[11:32] ---**
The name's Tomitake.
I'm a freelance photographer.
**[11:36] ---**
I come by Hinamizawa every now and then.
**[11:38] ---**
There's so much beauty
just waiting to be captured on film.
**[11:42] ---**
Shouldn't you know better than to take
someone's photo without asking permission?
**[11:47] ---**
Oh, don't worry, I'm all about
taking pictures of birds!
**[11:50] ---**
After all, I don't need their permission!
**[11:56] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*!
**[11:59] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm all done!
**[12:03] ---**
Oh, I didn't know you were here with a friend.
**[12:07] ---**
What on earth is she doing in a place like this?
**[12:10] ---**
No clue. Maybe she's checking in on
a dismembered corpse or something.
**[12:17] ---**
Oh, uh, I was just kidding.
**[12:21] ---**
What a grisly incident.
**[12:23] ---**
I hear one of his arms is still missing.
**[12:26] ---**
Huh?
**[12:38] ---**
Wait, what did you just say?
**[12:41] ---**
Thanks for waiting, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:44] ---**
I'm sorry that took so long, so sorry!
**[12:46] ---**
Oh, hello.
**[12:48] ---**
Hi there.
**[12:49] ---**
Don't want to be a third wheel here,
so I'll see you around.
**[12:53] ---**
Sorry to scare you there, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[12:58] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*?
**[13:00] ---**
Oh, uhh, did you find any buried treasure?
**[13:03] ---**
I did! I found a Kenta-*kun* statue!
**[13:06] ---**
Kenta-*kun* statue? You mean the ones you see
in front of those fried chicken joints?
**[13:12] ---**
Yeah, a Kenta-*kun*!
**[13:14] ---**
It's so kyute! I wanna take him home!
**[13:18] ---**
He's in the trash, so you can
take him home if you want.
**[13:21] ---**
Well, I would if I could, but he's stuck
in the bottom of the pile.
**[13:26] ---**
And it's getting dark, too.
**[13:28] ---**
How about we come by again
and I'll help you get him out?
**[13:31] ---**
Then I can pay you back for that
awesome lunch you made us.
**[13:35] ---**
Thank you!
**[13:36] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*'s gonna help me...
**[13:38] ---**
And Kenta-*kun*'s gonna come home with me!
**[13:44] ---**
What a grisly incident.
**[13:46] ---**
Hey, Rena, did something big
happen around here a while back?
**[13:50] ---**
Yeah, they were gonna build a dam here.
**[13:54] ---**
Did anything happen at the build site?
**[13:58] ---**
Like an accident, or some kind of incident...
**[14:00] ---**
I don't know.
**[14:03] ---**
I only moved here a year ago, you see!
**[14:06] ---**
Huh? You're a transfer student, too?
I had no idea.
**[14:11] ---**
Yeah, that's why I dunno about stuff
that happened before then! Sorry!
**[14:21] ---**
"Monday, June 13th"
**[14:29] ---**
Okay! I am pleased to announce that,
despite coming in dead last,
**[14:32] ---**
our applicant showed incredible promise
during his evaluation game, and as such,
**[14:35] ---**
I, Mion Sonozaki, president of this club,
do hereby welcome our newest member...
**[14:40] ---**
Keiichi Maebara!
**[14:43] ---**
You ready to face the music today?
**[14:45] ---**
It's your-- No, it's all of your faults!
**[14:49] ---**
Do you know how embarrassed I was
after playing that crazy card game?!
**[14:51] ---**
I mean, you lost, so you had to
face the penalty--
**[14:53] ---**
Penalty?! It was way worse than that!
**[14:57] ---**
Mion! You used that torture device
you snuck in to completely ruin my face!
**[15:02] ---**
By torture device, you mean this?
**[15:04] ---**
Of course I mean that!
And it's permanent ink, too!
**[15:07] ---**
My mom caught me wiping all that crap off
in the bathroom! Have a little sympathy!
**[15:12] ---**
Don't be so dramatic, Keiichi-*san*.
**[15:16] ---**
Poor, poor Keiichi!
**[15:19] ---**
So what're we playing today?
Old Maid again? Tycoon?
**[15:25] ---**
You've got too much of a handicap
to be playing cards with us.
**[15:28] ---**
Why don't we do a scavenger hunt instead?
**[15:37] ---**
Down here?!
**[15:39] ---**
Dammit, where'd Mion hide it?!
**[15:45] ---**
I'm gonna go hide this somewhere at school.
**[15:48] ---**
Whoever finds it first, wins.
That's fair, isn't it?
**[15:52] ---**
So you're not gonna play?
Who gets penalized, then?
**[15:56] ---**
We'll play with special rules.
**[15:58] ---**
If you find it first, Kei-*chan*,
then *you* get to draw all over *my* face.
**[16:10] ---**
Stay cool, Keiichi Maebara!
**[16:13] ---**
Knowing Mion, she wants to make
sure anyone but me finds it.
**[16:15] ---**
"STORAGE"
Knowing Mion, she wants to make
sure anyone but me finds it.
**[16:17] ---**
And because I'm new here, she probably
hid it somewhere I don't know about yet!
**[16:29] ---**
--Rena!
--Keiichi-*kun*!
**[16:32] ---**
You're not gonna let me win, are you...
**[16:34] ---**
Sorry, Keiichi-*kun*, but it's Club Rule ♪2:
**[16:38] ---**
"Always strive for victory
with everything you've got!"
**[16:42] ---**
--Pardon me!
--Excuse us!
**[16:49] ---**
I don't think so!
**[16:58] ---**
Victory is mine today, Rika!
**[17:01] ---**
You're still no match for my
ingenious traps, my sweet, little Rika!
**[17:07] ---**
Satoko, I think that's enough...
**[17:11] ---**
It's okay, I lost. I'm not mad about it at all.
**[17:18] ---**
In fact, because you won,
I've got a present for you, Satoko!
**[17:21] ---**
Oh, Rika, I knew you, of all people,
would understand!
**[17:24] ---**
Congratulations, Satoko!
**[17:35] ---**
Wh-What on earth just happened?!
**[17:37] ---**
Satoko, look at your face...
**[17:44] ---**
What in the world?!
**[17:45] ---**
I brought it to fight back
against your traps, Satoko!
**[17:51] ---**
Looks like *you're* no match for Rika-*chan*.
**[17:58] ---**
Rena?
**[17:59] ---**
Oh, sorry, I'm a little tired.
Maybe all that fun wore me out!
**[18:05] ---**
You okay?
**[18:06] ---**
Yeah. I think I'm gonna go rest
in the nurse's office, then go home.
**[18:10] ---**
--But what about Kenta-*kun*...?
--Don't worry!
**[18:12] ---**
Once you're feeling better,
I'll come help out!
**[18:23] ---**
I'm going to go wash my face.
**[18:26] ---**
There's no way I can go out in public like this!
**[18:33] ---**
Guess that's it for today.
**[18:37] ---**
A Kenta-*kun* statue?
**[18:39] ---**
Yeah, that's right up Rena's alley.
**[18:41] ---**
Hey, Mion. You know about
that dam construction site?
**[18:45] ---**
Did something go down there way long ago?
**[18:47] ---**
Sure did. A war, practically.
**[18:49] ---**
They demanded for the construction to stop,
hosted sit-ins, and held big protests.
**[18:54] ---**
Makes sense that everyone would fight.
The dam would've flooded your homes.
**[18:59] ---**
The government cronies were dead set
on seeing the project through.
**[19:02] ---**
Once they found out they
couldn't bribe their way to victory,
**[19:04] ---**
they resorted to some really nasty tactics!
**[19:06] ---**
I'm surprised the villagers
still ended up winning,
**[19:08] ---**
especially against the government.
**[19:09] ---**
The mayor and all the village bigwigs
signed petitions.
**[19:13] ---**
They went to Tokyo and
struck deals with politicians.
**[19:15] ---**
Thanks to all that hard work,
the dam project was cancelled.
**[19:18] ---**
The sweet taste of victory was ours!
**[19:23] ---**
There wasn't, like,
any violence or anything, right?
**[19:26] ---**
No one got assaulted or murdered?
**[19:29] ---**
Of course not.
**[19:32] ---**
Okay, see you tomorrow!
**[19:38] ---**
"Tuesday, June 14th"
**[19:43] ---**
"Hinamizawa"
**[19:47] ---**
"Wednesday, June 15th"
**[19:58] ---**
There she is.
**[20:00] ---**
Yo, Rena! Working up a sweat?
**[20:07] ---**
Keiichi-*kun*?! Why are you here?!
**[20:10] ---**
I received word of an emergency
in the area and rushed to the scene!
**[20:12] ---**
Where's the man in need of grave assistance?!
**[20:14] ---**
Huh?! What?! An emergency?!
**[20:17] ---**
Yes, a report about a Kenta-*kun* statue
buried deep in a pile of trash?
**[20:21] ---**
O-Oh! C'mon, Keiichi-*kun*, you scared me!
**[20:27] ---**
I'm just messing around.
I promised I'd help, remember?
**[20:30] ---**
You came all the way here for me...?
**[20:37] ---**
So where's that Kenta-*kun* at?
**[20:40] ---**
Over here!
**[20:41] ---**
Right there. See him underneath?
**[20:45] ---**
You were really going to try to get him
out from there all by yourself?
**[20:49] ---**
Here, get out of the way.
**[21:14] ---**
Man, I wish we had an axe
or a saw or something.
**[21:17] ---**
It's fine, Keiichi-*kun*!
**[21:19] ---**
I don't mind, Rena. You want it, right?
**[21:27] ---**
O-Okay, let's take a break.
**[21:29] ---**
H-Hey, let me go get us some barley tea!
My house is super close!
**[21:34] ---**
Stay there, okay!
**[21:55] ---**
I hear one of his arms is still missing.
**[22:12] ---**
"Weekly News"
