That underground torture room is officially called the underground ritual storehouse.

So, do "torture room" and "ritual storehouse" mean the same thing?

According to Takano-san's theory, bloody rituals, including Watanagashi, have been passed down among the Three Families even after the Meiji Era.

The rituals are always ready to be performed.

Their form of worship always revolved around torture,

so Hinamizawa's history involved a great deal of human slaughter.

Takano-san's theory is correct.

The underground storehouse at the Sonozaki house looked well maintained.

Takano-san is right about that, too.

Since the Sonozaki family and the Furude family both have ritual storehouses, the Kimiyoshi family must have one, too.

After all, these ancient and brutal customs are still handed down through the generations.

I should remain armed with the knowledge that occult events are still secretly being performed in this cursed village...
