Chapter 104 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 104

Facing the threat of the Inunaki Tunnel’s infection spreading globally, representatives from Korea, Japan, and China convene. Japan’s Magical Girl Association, led by Manyo Neko, attempts to claim the subjugation lead to clean up their own mess, but China and Korea interject with veiled insults about national status and internal instability. The narrator, Undertaker, interrupts the petty diplomacy to assert personal command, forming a voluntary multinational party. He invites his known allies: Yu Ji-won (Korea), Manyo Neko and Phantom Blade (Japan), and Sim Ah-ryeon (secretly). Despite Sim Ah-ryeon’s ignorance of Japanese, Undertaker tells Manyo Neko she is his girlfriend, a lie accepted by the Magical Girls who treat her as VIPs. To secure the team’s cooperation, Undertaker leverages his desire for a 1977 Polaroid OneStep camera. Manyo Neko, respecting his collection passion, secures a rare spirit camera from a shrine owner in exchange for the team’s success against Inunaki. The party travels to the Soroji Tunnel, now blocked by a graffiti-covered stone wall and infected by the anomaly. At the entrance, Undertaker stops the team, sensing the anomaly’s presence. He orders Manyo Neko to take a spirit photo of the surroundings. The image reveals magical girls from previous failed expeditions nailed to trees like sacrifices. Phantom Blade identifies the corpses as former colleagues and notes their similarity to the current team members, implying a premonition or loop. A second photo, focusing on the stone wall, reveals the corpses have lost their heads and arms, and the wall now bears the message “Welcome back (おかえり).” The chapter ends with the chilling realization that the tunnel is aware of their approach and has been waiting for them.
