Kasane [Chapter 125 - Fragment, Dance] -Fin-

Narration: “On the last day of the performance, the morning dress rehearsal had just ended--” The co-actors look stunned.

Actor A asks, “...what was that? Just now, that one time...it felt totally different from before.”

Actor B wonders out loud, “Just now...what had happened?”

Kasane [Chapter 124 - Until the Curtain Call's End]

Kasane calls out to Nobuhiko, “...about...about that...” She uses her jacket to partly cover her face [/mouth]. Nobuhiko looks at her and scowls. He says that even if he doesn’t know what she wants from him but since she’ll show her face in public with that kind of pain, then he’ll suggest that she give up the profession of acting. This surprises Kasane.

Kasane [Chapter 123 - Ugliness...Only Ugliness Remains]

Iku and others watch kneeling Kasane holding out her hand and shouting her lines, “Then, let everything in this land end together with me!!” Sitting on the chair, Kingo sighs and says, “...very good...

Kasane [Chapter 122 - Still An Empty Shell]

[Free Talk: According to this post in baidu, Kono Oto Tomare readers, there is no chapter for this month since the mangaka took an unexpected? break. The comments mention about the mangaka’s health so maybe she isn’t feeling well.]

All dressed-up Kasane nervously looks at the mirror then she looks down. She quickly goes out of the house and sees a couple of women talking outside. The women look surprised at her. Kasane nods to acknowledge them then she turns to leave.

Kasane Novel 'Rippled Thread' Spoilers

[Free Talk: This are spoilers from the novel that was posted on baidu. I’m not sure if it is complete but it has been a month since the last update so I’ve assume that it more or less finished <- no continuation. It isn’t in chronological order but I’ll translate it based on how it was written in baidu.]

After being driven away by Atae from the house, Izana felt guilty because she always sees Atae as Nagi. She always loves Nagi and Atae is Kasane’s father. When Nagi died, her heart also died. She wanted to fill the emptiness in her heart so she looked for Atae. But, she realized that this won’t do at all.

Kasane [Chapter 120 - Struggle]

On her knees, Izana says, “Since I cannot attain your love, then I also don’t have a reason to continue on living. And besides that, I even killed the woman you loved. *looks at Nagi* I do not live in [/belong to?] this world...no, I don’t have the right to be born in this world. Let me meet my end here at Akeiwa.”

Kasane [Chapter 119 - Even More Turbulent after the Unveiling]

Kasane asks, “‘Lie’...that means, at that time, Izana had already gotten in touch with Kaido Nagi?” Kingo says that’s right. “Before that, you should have already found out about it from the ‘letter’. After Nagi-san had passed away, she wrote about it... Those are words of remorse.”

Kasane [Chapter 118 - Twinkling in the Darkness]

Kasane walks upstairs to the upper floor of a building. She looks at the door then rings the doorbell. Ding Dong. Narration: “It has been three months since then when Habuta-san sent me a text.” Kingo wrote, “There’s something I want to tell you, come over. The address is written below.”

Kasane [Chapter 117 - Born in the Abyss]

Kingo tells Kasane, “—You want to stand on the stage with that kind of ugly appearance? ...Don’t be stupid!! ...have you also gone crazy? Indeed, I have promised Izana-san that I’ll bring you under the spotlight...

Kasane [Chapter 116 - Conclusion]

Takemi says, “She is reading out a ‘script’! It is AN ALL OUT ACTING that can sufficiently shake a person’s inner being!” Sitting on the floor in front of the dilapidated theater’s stage, limp Kingo hears someone stepping on a broken glass. He looks up to see Kasane looking at him.

Kasane [Chapter 115 - Outcome ④]

Visibly shaken, Kingo stutters, “Wa..What did you say? You’re lying in order to confuse me. In any case, you did weave a quite decent lie!!” Kasane shouts, “I’m not lying!! During the time I’ve gone missing, I had already gone to confirm it one by one...traces [/clues] of mother...”

Kasane [Chapter 114 - Outcome ③]

Footsteps are heading towards the basement. Kasane shouts, “Hey! Stop!!” Then, she was roughly pushed down on the room’s floor. With her hands tied behind her back, Kasane calls out to Kingo.

Kasane [Chapter 113 - Outcome ②]

Flashback: Kingo angrily shouted at Atae as to why he asked him to come over. “Why can’t you dispose of this yourself!?” While breathing hard, Sugeyo trembled. Atae looked at him.

Kasane [Chapter 112 - Outcome ①]

Kingo is smoking at the roof. He grinds his teeth as he recalls Yoshio telling him that Saki said that she’s withdrawing... “I feel that is there’s nothing can be done about it. You’ll know just by seeing her unstable performance... Go find someone else to replace ‘Saki’.”  End flashback.

Kasane [Chapter 111 - Witch's Conclusion]

Everyone watches as Yoi runs away. Wet from the rain, Yoi quickly opens the door to her shack. She falls down in front of the altar inside. She says, “...I always prayed...prayed for this piece of land... to have abundant greenery on spring, fertile trees on autumn, harmless [natural] disasters, favorable weather [for crops]...

Kasane [Chapter 110 - Need to Face the Demon (Thing)]

At the practice hall, Yoshio looks at the Ake no Hime flyer. He tells Kingo that he is very happy that Kingo called him over. “But, it is only 10 days before the official performance. Today is the first time you’re going through with the [full] rehearsal...from the looks of it, the progress isn’t going quite smoothly.”

Kasane [Chapter 109 - Expected Attitude]

Kingo says that there’s no problem with Iku. “The one with a problem is Saki. From the looks of it, you still haven’t totally gotten into the role.” This made Saki tense. Standing up, Kingo says forget it, rest first. “In a while, we’ll rehearse that scene again. Do you hear?”

Kasane [Chapter 108 - Visible Shadow]

Kingo asks Nogiku why she has ‘Kaidou Nagi’s notebook. She tells him that she found it at her father’s library. “Only based on what’s written on top, I knew that it is related to the ‘lipstick’... Because of specialized terms, it is quite difficult for me to understand them. It is also impossible to know whose is it...”

Kasane [Chapter 107 - Unseen Things]

With Kasane’s face, Iku quickly runs to an alley from the main street. Then, she trips. Lying on the ground, Iku is breathing hard while looking quite tense. She snaps out of it when Kasane with Iku’s face calls out to her, Iku-senpai.
