Chapter 2: Natsumi VS Shion (第2話 夏美vs詩音 Dai Ni Wa: Natsumi vs Shion) is the second chapter of the Higurashi Daybreak Portable manga.
Summary[]
With the red Magatama of Fuwarazu attached to Hanyuu, Takano declares that Oyashiro-sama belongs to her. The club can hardly believe that Hanyuu actually fell in love with Takano. Rika tries going up to her but Hanyuu repels her with a barrier. Takano comments on Rika's weakness and says her ambitions are lofty as she summons a car and drives off with Hanyuu in it.
At home, Satoko stops the downtrodden Rika from causing a big fire while making dinner. Satoko sees she's worried about Hanyuu and assures her that Mion is helping, and that they can continue the search tomorrow. Rika cheers up with confidence that Hanyuu won't give in to Takano's whims that easily. Just to make sure, Rika plans to eat some kimchi.
Meanwhile, Takano tells Tomitake the driver to let her and Hanyuu off. Tomitake thinks Hanyuu is lucky for being able to stay at Takano's place, and Takano promises he'll be next if he's a good boy; Tomitake becomes flustered and drives off. Takano invites Hanyuu into her home and becomes excited over being able to see a god's true form. Hanyuu suddenly falls over in pain, complaining of something spicy in her mouth and pleading to have something sweet.
Takano thinks this is divine possession and starts writing into an observation diary, and watches Hanyuu suffer from mouth pain for a few minutes. Hanyuu then says she's going to die soon, and Takano quickly gives her some pudding. Hanyuu eats the all the pudding and feels better, but Takano says it actually expired 3 years ago. Hanyuu gets in even more pain, and Takano writes that Oyashiro-sama has a sturdy stomach.
The next day, Shion meets Natsumi at Okinomiya Station. Shion came her personally to pick her up, making Natsumi happy to see Hinamizawa villagers' hospitality. As they walk around town, Natsumi talks about how she met a boy named Akira that she likes, commenting on his handsomeness and strength. Shion says there's also a boy she likes and thinks about how kind and dreamy Satoshi is. Natsumi says she'd prefer her boyfriend to be strong and protect her, but Shion believes she needs to be strong. Sparks fly between Natsumi and Shion as they disagree with each other's opinions on boyfriends.
Meanwhile, Mion is waiting for Shion and Natsumi to arrive, having called for their help in locating Hanyuu. When they're late, Mion goes to search for them only to find the fatigued Shion and Natsumi still arguing over Akira and Satoshi. They then fall unconscious, and the surprised Mion starts dragging them home.
