Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Chapter 114 Discussion

Apparently this timeline is not the "best timeline" at all. Although some people are alive, the seven mysteries no longer exist. And this means the Minomotos are still sacrificing the Akanes. Even though Aoi doesn't know the reason, her family probably does. That'd explain why Aoi's father ran away. It's similar to what happened with Sumire. Lucky for Aoi, she still has her mother. But why she is so supportive of this engagement? She might be brainwashed with that odd elixir. Aoi and Teru's engagement looks like a parallel between no. 6 and Sumire, too. The "sacrifice" and the "guard" who makes sure she doesn't escape and is sacrificed properly. Yep, looks pretty familiar to me.

Does this mean that in the original timeline, the power of the hole was transferred to the seven mysteries? Before this, the hole kept the far and near shore separate but it always wanted a sacrifice for this. I guess they somehow got ahead of giving sacrifices by having the seven mysteries take on this task. But how? Everything has a price and it was the sacrifice beforehand. Well, If it isn't the sacrifice anymore, what is the price of 7 mysteries keeping the shores apart?

Also in the previous arcs, the monsters started crossing near shore when seven mystery numbers dropped. So it make sense why no. 6 tried to sacrifice Aoi. As the seven mysteries diminish, the hole may be getting stronger and a sacrifice getting needed more and more. When they disappear altogether, the hole may regain its former strength. Sound familiar?

"If you destroy all seven mysteries, your wish will come true."

Everything laps with this info. And I bet the entity in the hole is Hanako's so called "god".

@meyve Wow, that's a really good analysis. The newest chapter seems to confirm it, with Tsukasa being the hole. I don't think there has to be a price, though. The 7 mysteries might be keeping the balance with their existence alone. That said, I still don't understand why Hanako wanted to destroy the yorishiros in the first place.
