I have been saying this countless times but, there’s no other culprit other than Hikaru, right? The police have been investigating the whole time, you know? The police force of Japan is reliable, so it is impossible that they have not caught the culprit despite having caused that much of an incident. In other words, Hikaru who got away to the parallel world is the culprit.

Only a few criminals that have killed a whole family don’t get caught, but it does happen.

The summary of Hikaru until now:
①He killed(?) his childhood friend Nanami-chan and was elected as a Chosen.
② Starting from a danger zone. Meets a giant fire monkey inside the forest, but escapes from the precarious situation by placing a barrier.
③ He begins acting by using dark spirit magic, but ends up in front of the nest of the fire monkeys.
④ Something that appeared at night slaughtered the whole fire monkey family. Spirit Stone Get.
⑤ Policy of only moving at night. Seems like he is buying barriers with points.
⑥ Flower that shines at night, get. First of the Chosen to get a special rare material.
⑦ Ran out of barrier stones close to the end of the forest, and was about to get killed by a pack of wolves.
⑧ The power of darkness awakened and he summoned an undead fire monkey. Wipes out the pack of wolves. The first of the Chosen to obtain the Sealed 8th Dark Spirit Ability.
⑨ Gets out from the forest and receives messages from Earth. Seems like they were filled with all manners of insults.
⑩ After crying himself to the ground, he has shut himself in since then.

Newcomer spotted. There’s a Barrier Stone you can buy with points.
It seems like Hikaru was one of the Chosen who had quite a lot of points remaining, and he was buying quite the high amount of Barrier Stones. Most Chosen allocated all their points before starting, so there aren’t many who have managed to properly use the Barrier Stones to survive.

Thanks for the chapter!
Well damn, I don't feel like doing commentary here. The author already writes everything I wanted to say regarding the story.
The author really replicated the toxicity in every forum and messages that he made. And it's also true for the opposite. Without these we can't really feel the right emotions for him.
I love how accurate the internet was portrayed by author-san. There is still a touch of reality within this fantasy world
could it be? could it be? Author-san you've managed to properly write my thoughts after all! I'm still of the mind student x should have cuts on their hands but I'll accept they were lucky to somehow break in by likely doing the clay mold on Nanami's key to not cause damage to the lock and somehow killed the parents while they were asleep, although i feel both Nanami and her parents would be too restless to sleep and spend the last day crying/hugging or at least being in the same room before being eternally separated.
since i couldn't think of a question yesterday here's a bold one for today!
Why the hell is Mysterious student x so meticulous? He couldn't of known about the crystal to viewership system nor what would of happened if at 1st place viewer rankings so why go through planning the murder out so well if they were so sure murder would be a free ticket to glorious isekai freedom? Maybe dark machinations are at play hmm?
oh dear, apologies on posting my comment via reply, I didn't mean to highjack your comment 😔
(to make up for it I shall tell you a sad secret, I'm not a Turtle just because I'm slow to read the chapter, at least compared to the speed readers, it's also because I read chapters on an original Ipad. Now because it gets no updates anymore it takes several moments to type out a sentence before it shows up, and this leads to very bad spelling! Now you know I am a slow reader on a slow device and thus 🐢!)
Thank you for the chapter !
Thank u always for ur great work...

Thank you very much for the chapter
Thank you for the chapter!
Last chapter, I really thought the item he transferred with would have been the murder weapon, since that was the actual last thing he "touched". That certainly would have made the rational opinions about him a lot more negative than what we were shown in this chapter.
The last thing he touched was Nanami's body though, depend on your spiritualism bodies could be considered things but appearently "god" doesn't which is odd as we found out other chosen could take "detriments" like children with them. "God" has a rather inconsistent sense for an uncaring higher being doing this for what I can only assume is entertainment.
The thing with bringing people along was well defined though. It's only alowed up to some specific age. And you get Points depending on how much of a burden it is.
Thanks! Nepu!

This was very interesting to read everyone's reactions as hate comments always seem to be the first people always see.
Thanks for the chapter
I like bulletin board chapters more than actual plot, its simply fun like reading comment section of manga chapters or anime episodes
and now I'm responding to comments on a comment section on the actual plot
Thanks for the chapter! How did the police manage to fail to find the murderer guy? (I can't remember his name) He literally said something about staying in the house until time ran out to get transferred.
What did you expect from the polices anyway?
I suppose you're right. I was wrong to expect anything of the police. As they say, "If you want something done right, do it yourself"
What if he did get transferred? What if Hikaru meet him in the other world? *x files theme intensifies*
That would actually be a very good explanation for why the item that Hikaru was transferred with wasn't the knife, which should have been the last thing he touched, since it would have been assigned the murderer rather than Hikaru, making him only keep the second last thing he touched, which is Nanami's album.
I really hope that this conclusion is very good foreshadowing rather than me just discovering a plothole.
Him being transferred with the photo album makes perfect sense to me
"I was kicked, and fell on top of Nanami.
I am not in a state where I can fight back. My consciousness was already fading.
The burning feeling in my back was already gone, and I now only feel cold.
I could tell instinctively that death was approaching. "
He falls on top of Nanami. If she had been clutching the photo album then it would've been the last object he touched that would fit in his hand
Then we'll have a satisfying scene in the future where he gets his vengeance.
Although i think the culprit manifested in the late comments of the chapter, the 182 one.
yeah, from how it was descripted, the murdered pushed Hikaru after stabbing him and he says how the "burning feel in my back is gone and all i could feel was cold" that must been because of the murdered taking the knife away after stabbing, as the pain is overwritten by the feeling of blood loss and conciousness falling off, what would have been more morbid, would been if he were transported with nanami corpse, as if it was like considering her corpse as an item, since some people brought people with them, the chapter gave me a knot in the stomach as its super realistic the way the internet reactions were, the toxicity feels so real that it kinda hurts, makes me respect author but also hard to read as fast as i would other chapters
As someone who've read far ahead, this made me chuckle
This actually sounds like a viable theory
No, I don't think he got transferred I reread this chapter and it looks like he is lurking in the Hikarus bulletin board, lurkers is very easy to spot, if you been on websites like 4chan or other bulletin boards you can easily tell someone is from an agency or government entity is lurking there, same with some people who aren't right in their minds.
I highly doubt it. All the other slots were filled. It seems very unlikely that some other Chosen just happened to also die just before the transfer and their mark ended up going to the murderer. Plus if he did get transferred then he would have also been a last minute addition like Hikaru and people would have also been talking about it yet nobody mentions anybody else being transported that was an unknown person. Even if they immediately got killed after the transfer, the god would have broadcasted it and attention would be drawn to him if for no other reason than making a headline of, "Unknown new Chosen gets transferred and immediately dies." or something similar.
Nah, he could not have gotten transferred. First of all he was staying there until it was too late to get chosen. After that someone must have gotten rid of the evidence and i doubt it was some except for himself. The "Lurking in the Comments Theory" sounds the most plausible to me
The murderer must have had help, perhaps his parents who works with the police. How else would he have evaded police for this long and shifting the blame on someone who 'just disappeard and happend to be one of the chosen ones'.
They didnt tell the police thinks Hikaru is the culprit they still dont have the evidence. And about how the cameras of the media didnt catch him they told that there is blind spots and a river/waterside to the side of the house.
The anti are the ones screwing with the he is guilty bulshit without evidence. And even if the police have the idiot under suspect they cant get a underage without evidence.
It is explained about a 100 chapters later in an arc about what his sisters backstory and what they were doing after he left and nanami died. The commentating chapters will repeatedly say that his sisters( karen and Celica, i think) are big brain, which is also shown in the same arc.
