Chapter 6 Everyone's Smiles (第6話 みんあの笑顔 Dai Roku Wa: Minna no Egao) is the sixth and final chapter of the Higurashi Daybreak Portable manga.
Summary[]
The club all head home from the Furude Shrine. Rika tells Satoko to go home ahead of her while she does more research on the Magatama of Fuwarazu. Satoko goes to start dinner and leaves her to it. Rika unlocks the ritual storehouse and finds a document explaining the Magatama of Fuwarazu's origins, and thinks that Hanyuu/Oyashiro-sama created it to give an excuse for people confessing their love. As Rika has a realization, Hanyuu herself and Takano show up, the latter in her military uniform. Takano says she came to learn more about Oyashiro-sama and is shocked that Rika may have found a way to undo Hanyuu's brainwashing.
Takano aims her gun at Rika and says she's already happy now that she has Hanyuu in her hands. Rika says she can't change anything by herself, but she knows that she can count on her friends. As Takano prepares to shoot, Satoko appears and uses a slingshot to knock the gun out of her hands. The rest of the club follow and corner Takano. She laments that all of the dice of fate she's thrown have landed on ones, and thinks she'd have Oyashiro-sama all to herself and be feared by everyone if she were just born a Furude shrine maiden. Rika replies that Hanyuu doesn't belong to anyone and has had her own determination for 100 years that will enable conflicts to never happen in Hinamizawa ever again.
Angered, Takano tells Hanyuu to do something about Rika, however the red magatama instead falls out of her, much to Takano's shock. Rika says that since Hanyuu created the Magatamas, their power will be released if she's unable to carry out a wish. Takano retrieves her gun and aims it at Hanyuu. Hanyuu apologizes and says she wanted to see everyone's smiles in the end. Takano slumps to the ground and cries, asking why things never go her way. Rika offers her hand and says she won't have any enemies so long as she smiles. Reminded of her grandfather's words, Takano takes her hand and thanks her.
Later, Hanyuu looks over the observation guide Takano made of her. Rika decides to have lots of kimchi for dinner, because of it. Takano gets excited over sending clothes to Hanyuu and seeing her wear them, with Tomitake behind her pleading for attention. The club locks up the ritual storehouse for good and prepare for club activities, also helping to fill up the crater left at the school.
