Chapter 5

Hasshaku-sama Survival III (八尺様 サバイバル Ⅲ) is the fifth chapter of the Otherside Picnic manga adaptation.

Summary
Guided along the way to the building, Abarato shows the girls many of the invisible traps laid around the area. When inquired by Toriko of a lady of certain body specifics, he claims he hasn't. He says that he's avoided approaching most people he encounters in this place due to people who "monitor" them. They are "people" who infiltrated their human society to capture people and bring them back to the Otherside, his wife being one of them.

An oddly-shaped footprint is found, close by to their building destination, so on their guard, they proceed to the building with caution. By the structure, Sorawo notices a mysterious footprint but realizes it's a marking of the sort. Inside the building, the group sees a spindly woman with hair down to her knees, dressed in a simple dress and hat. Sorawo deduces the person is Hasshaku-sama from the Japanese folklore. However, by Sorawo focusing her right eye on it, it's a frame-like thing, and Abarato heads into it and disappears. In a trance-like state, Toriko heads for the frame-like thing as well.
