Chapter 5

Hassaku Survival III

Synopsis
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 goes onto say that he's avoided approaching most people he encounters in this place due to people who "monitor" them. Apparently, they are "people" who infiltrated their humane society to capture people and bring them back to the Otherworld, his wife was 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 building, Sorawa notices a mysterious footprint but realizes it's really 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, under closer inspection, it's really 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.
