Somebody Has to be the Villain?

Hello, I'm Ryukishi07.

How did you like this volume of the "Festival Accompanying Arc"?

Takano, woman of mystery. In this story, we are getting close to the heart of her feelings. Takano is one of the few adult women in the Higurashi series. To prove the validity of her and her grandfather's work, she tries to take hold of Rika and all of Hinamizawa. Of course, to Rika and her friends, Takano's actions are terrible, and she is a contemptible enemy. And because Takano has taken on the role of villain... the story approaches its conclusion.

Is it true that a story doesn't end unless someone is the villain? Will the story never be resolved unless someone is made out to be the enemy? If there's no conflict, then no one is the enemy. It may be very difficult to find such a fragment. But you have come this far into the world of Higurashi; you can do it. Would you please look out for that fragment for me? You are capable of taking the witch's step.

I recommend it.

I hope to meet you again in the next volume—the climax of this story.

Thank you for reading this far. The "Festival Accompanying Arc" is just one battle after another, and the grown-ups really get to show their stuff. This is the seventh volume of that arc; the next volume will be the last. I feel like it took a long time, and yet it also seemed to fly by. Thank you for supporting me through it all. I hope I can make the climax really exciting. I would love it if you watched over me to the very end!
