On the occasion of its ending, I will storytime Ura Baito, one job per day. Most jobs are around 3-4 chapters, and self contained, so feel free to join at any time.Today's job: Doll Memorial Service>Ura baito, also known as a shady part-time job. A gray area job that pays very well. The price you pay is your life.>Yume Kokuryo and Nagomi Shirahama are in need of money in a hurry. To that end, they casually dive into various shady part-time jobs
Chapter 13: Doll Memorial Service (1)
3 threads? We're taking over this board baitobros!
Chapter 14: Doll Memorial Service (2)
Chapter 15: Doll Memorial Service (3)
Done. This is a happy ending for every party involved.See you tomorrow!
>>290951437I like how they're more annoyed that the doll bit them than scared that the doll is FUCKING ALIVE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>290951192Second panel feels very time appropriate.
at least doll yume isn't real so it cant hurt me
>>290951225Yume's eyes turned to Yen at that moment.
Last thread for the archive:>>290851409
>>290951342>Say no more, buddy!
>>290951437Yume's nape....
>>290951753I kinda feel bad for her, but on the other hand she was REALLY asking for it.
>>290951654Doll guy getting his own ledger is both funny and fitting.
>>290951753Too bad for her, but the other trapped soul seems to have also been human.. or at least just someone normal who wanted to get out.
>>290951277>dressed like salaryman and housewife for the entire chapter
>>290951178Man I forgot Yume's tits were fucking fat
>>290952500Shirahama...
>>290951638WIDE Yume.
>>290951654what does he even do with the now possessed bodies anyways?
>>290951474Went through the trouble of deciphering the note only to discover it was nothing worth translating lol. It's nice of Yume to do this though.アマノザキさんの分の朝食です。良けんば分食べて下さい。ご飯とおみ汁それります。
>>290951178LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>290951212...Why is one of them dressed like a gothic lolita.
>>290953290BAITO
>>290953315Because she is a gothic lolita doll freak that goes to everywhere dressed like this, including work. Checks out.

>>290951753Thanks OP
>>290951178Finally caught up to the end through the archives, what can I say but KINO!
The other thread was due but I wanted to post some more...
>>290955265It wasn't archived yet.
>>290946368I didn't notice they were sisters first time reading, every single one of them is scum lmao
>>290951753God I love Hama.It's also funny how a lot of these early jobs don't really deal with the typical Gray entities the series really became known for. It was really only the first chapter and I guess kind of the briefcase. But the office building was more like a normal human ghost story, the door was a science experiment by a human organization, and this doll was also a more typical ghost/possession story.
>>290951393I suspect they trade body
>>290951654Merely 20k yen for a JK?Jesus that's fucking cheap, are you stupid? doll guy
>>290952411I mean he (she?) could have just tell them her soul is still in the doll
>>290958315It doesn't seem that others can hear the doll's speech.
>>290957930It continues throughout the series, it helps keep the setting fresh when not all the Grays are world ending threats.Also, some of these jobs are set in the post Yayoi timeline where the grays are a lot weaker.
>>290951437Ah it's a vampire doll. Everything makes sense now.
>>290958372Oh, if that's the case, should we start theorizing which of these jobs are in the peaceful timeline? Or do we just assume all the weak grays are part of it?
>>290958334I meant the new Amanozaki, if she's just someone "normal" >>290952411
>>290953315Who else are you going to attract by advertising a job to hold requiems for dolls?
>>290958509Ryokushinan is a weak Gray but it definitely is in bad ending timeline. Some Grays just don't have the hax to kill a bunch of people even if they do get turbo buffed.
>>290958510It's hard to say. any job related to Yagi, Chacha, Kuroiwa, the brothers and Tokiko are definitely in the bad timeline. Beyond that it seems like it could be either way.
>>290958509Babysitter is obviously The good timeline.
>>290958575The Forset, The Briefcase, The Lab and the Doll is definietly bad timeline
>>290951178Being a miko doesn't sound that bad. Surely, the temple folks know a thing or two about warding against spirits and the likes.
I can tell if im supposed to be scared or not
>>290959515It like reading SCP's Class-D Adventure
>>290959515It's more of a comedy horror manga with less of a focus on scares and more on "the mystery of what the gray is this time."

>>290951254
>>290958282This scanlation using the $ sign confuses. Is it supposed to be yen or dollar? Did the scanlators convert the currency as well?
>>290960738Some jobs are definitely scarier than others.
>>290959515depends on the job its very SCP-like feeling
>>290961711Yes. He stopped doing it at some point.
>>290961711>>290961748for the first jobs it was a different translator i think
Next job is on the scarier side.
>>290950817From the previous thread, I just noticed that she probably said her 'actual' name here and that's why the video spazzed out.Shi = 04:44:44
>>290951716I assume you picked up that the girl is the god?
>>290961711They converted. Add two zeroes and it becomes yen.
>>290951753Thank you for posting, OP!>>290952249Appreciate it.
>>290958282It's to get rid of the doll, as we can see in the final pages.

Chapter 18: Nature Conservationist (3)
>>290974235Love how Yume sensing the smell from a mysterious figure in the blizzard wasn't enough to make them run for their lives and it took Hama to have a good look through the camera for them to bounce.Anon who said that Hama wouldn't survive a single gray job without Yume in the previous thread needs to realise that the chances of either of these incredible specimens making it without each other are low at best. Lone braincells must stick together.
Done. When will Hama get to use her snowboard again anyways?See you tomorrow!
>>290974557he's lucky...
>>290974557They seem to be getting more human as they eat more and more.
>>290974463Hama doesn't have the op danger sense but she's otherwise got good physical ability and isn't easily stressed, Yume knows what's dangerous but she's rather slow and shuts down when there's too much pressure, so yeah, they're a good match.

>>290975370He was probably an outlier because he knew too much so they hunted him down
>>290974214woooooaaaah mama, she has them suckin' lips! good ol' sucky!
>>290974304subarashiii~
How are you dumping so fast without wanting to hang yourself?

>>290974461>Yes, Miss Kokuryo, everything stinks.
>>290974557I love how Hama probably just straight up stole the snowboard. Yume and Hama are both really fun leads in their own way.
>>290975046The first chapters are here >>290851409
>>290975370Maybe it was a smaller separate group.You can see them stalking him earlier.

>>290977803thanks
>>290951192I want Yume wife...
>>290951549Aww, it's smiling.
>>290951753Heh, I thought she hates people?
>>290974122>animals only taking the tongue and eyesThat's some cope.
>>290974214Hmm, kinda sexy.
>>290974514Oh shit.
>>290974557They're all plump now.
>>290979360It's more plausible than monsters... in a normal universe.
>>290979869Maybe if the face and body is fucked, sure, some animals could be the cause. But when the face is clean without any bite or claw marks other than the missing tongue or eyeballs? My first thought would be some pyscho, not animals.
>>290974557This was the arc that really hooked me on the series, loved how eerie the ending is
>>290951342I. CAN. FIX. HER.
>>290975370I assume the massive amount of people in the hotel were simply a more tempting target than going off after two girls who are also much further away.Given that we know that that one of the ways to 'escape' them is simply having them go after someone else, and the large amount of people in the hotel is probably enough to keep all of them satiated for a long while, why waste the effort going after those two girls when there's a feast right before them.

>>290951342Wow she's just like me!
>>290989156To be fair, she was introduced late, so chances of her having fan art are even lower than everyone else. Not all hope is lost though, I present to you an ultra rare piece of genuine Yamu-chan fan art I found
>>290993087OLD MEN
>>290986425What if I invite something inside and invoke Xenia? Surely if supernatural nonsense exists, they have to respect the ancient laws of guest rites?
>>290993087She got properly introduced before the baldies. I guess she hust didn't have that many appearances, especially toward the end.

>>290974377https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkymDSAUzdw
>>290994637The panel right after says it's just a theory the guy is making up to cope with things.
>>290994674The point is you can apply logic to nonhumans, but it's not advantageous to play the odds when if it doesn't work just once your organs get ripped out through your bunghole. Basic probabilities tell you that even if it's a small chance per individual event, with enough rolls it'll definitely come to pass, and then you fucking die because you're a mortal and not a god.
>>290974389is that a hand in the window
>>290974557This is the bad timeline right?

>>290998985Circumstances
>>290998985they sometimes don't get paid because the employer fucking dies like in this case
>>290998464Surprisingly polite gray
>>290999067According to the ledger, they somehow got paid anyway. And it probably wasn't an advance payment because Yume usually specifies it when that happens
>>290998154what a fucking asshole kek

Still, I'm not sure what "conflict" means. People fought for its favor? How did they even figure out it granted wishes to begin with, surely nobody just went>There's a weird headed thing in the well, let's dump a girl down there and make a wishDo we know what happens if he doesn't get a sacrifice?
>>290999067>>290999252They probably got paid when the priest told them to drop it and leave.
>>290951178
>>290999633It's not like there was anything to do back in the old days, something may have been dropped in intentionally or accidentally. Also, the thing seems to be able to grab what it wants if you look inside, so that would've also been a way to find out how it worked.
>>290999633>How did they even figure out it granted wishes to begin with, surely nobody just wentThere are those well wishing legends so someone might have seem it happen and it spiraled, people would surely fight over having literal god granting wishes, i'd be interested in knowing if it can grant multiple wishes, it also doesn't give a shit that a wish messes with another >Do we know what happens if he doesn't get a sacrifice?I think it just doesn't do anything
>>290998041Nyoooo....
Actually the god didn't kill miho when it yoinked her, at no moment it was necessary to kill the shinre maidens to give them to tthe thing in the well
>>290999770It still unpersonned makoto when she made her wish. Although she explicitly offered herself as payment.
>>290999515臭い / くさい / クサイ
>>290998371The baldy loses to the gorilla.
>>290999796It didn't she was killed and hurt by the guys, you can also confirm because allowing her there alive would means she would be able to ask for a wish too
>>290999770She was yoinked pretty harshly tho, if she died from the fall I don't think the god would've cared either.
>>290999515Yep. Or at least she starts with "kusai" and then shifts to "kussa". This is from the 1st chap on mangaone
>>290999883thats true
>>290998025>debt from familyIsn't that basically Yume's backstory? So if Miho is Yume v2 then I guess Makoto is Hama v2.
>>290999892As far as I can see, later on she still says 臭い but it's writen phonetically (くさい). Wonder why? Maybe it just looks better like this when you fill an entire bubble with it
>>290999978Except Hama would've unceremoniously beaten her friend's asshole dad if she were in the same position lmao
>>290985994I'm poor and stingy yet I must dump
>>290999978Hama didn't start gray jobs to help a friend.
>>291000123Cursed manga dumper gray job.The pay is 0$.
>>291000095>>291000149Well that's why I said v2. They've got some similarities even if it's not one to one.
>>291000149in some ways Makoto and Miho seem to have a less cynical view of the job than the MCs so I think they'd have a hard time in this line of work even if the supernatural wasn't involved
>>291000196We pray for your soul anon
>>290997942Notice how Sega isn't there? Sonic wins again.
>>291000381#freeYujiNaka
>>291000381our it could simply means sega isn't powerfull and control nothing
>>290998079There's two possible implications from the first panel and neither of them are great

>>290998512Assuming the severity of the death is proportional to their involvement in the whole thing, how freaky was the 90 years old?
>>290998527Thanks OP
>>290997930Of fuck this was a nasty one
>>291001661i think the guy that got cancer all over his body ands till somehow lived for half a year got it worse, the guy that got instantly dead bty helicopter crash was the least invovled lol
>>291001621The method of escape would be not looking like a shrine maiden and not going to the island in the first place really. And the true danger isn't the gray (though you shouldn't get too close to the well), it's the greedy sociopath humans surrounding it.
>>290999978Actually Yume ended up becoming the Makoto in the relationship
>>291001621Probably wishes made by a willing, living shrine maiden gets the highest precedence
>>291002734It's a job so you have to go to the island if you're hired. Otherwise, with the exception of the briefcase so far, you can just avoid most Grays by not being near it. Point is, the method of escape should be referred to when you have a likelihood of encountering said Gray.
Why call them grays?
>>290998238had it been a hundred dollars or more it would had been smooth
>>291004082>ura (裏) : back, reverse side, or behind.>Also Ura (裏) means inner, backAlso, there will be explain later on, but i mean to catch of all term for supernature thing that come from/related to one sourceFun dact, Alien is not treated as Gray
>>291004502>裏 means [not gray]Why call them grays?
URA
>>291004680Ura baito (shady part time job) ended up being translated as "gray job", and since all gray jobs are depicted as having to do with the supernatural, the name got carried over TO the supernatural because it's easier? It also sounds kinda cool
>>291006473It sounds cool but it's also conflating the job and the entities inside those jobs. It's stylish but seems a bit too much like calling "Car" both a car and the engine of a car. Yeah it's what makes it move and without it they wouldn't be cars, but it's not the whole of the car.
>>290954237That explains everything!
>>290974082>I'm not fatCould have fooled me.
>>290954237A what?
>>290974557How was he here? I thought he ran away
>>291007343They jumped him when he was driving >>290974474
>>290998371This was the "pervert" Hama kicked in the face that Yume was recounting at the end of the story.
>>290998303This fucker is the same guy who raped her or the body isn't it >>290998079
>>290998512Jesus christ that meteorite guy
>>290998527Thanks OPI feel bad for the mikos
>>290998512Everyone here is actually lucky they did not catch by other Gray during Apocalypse
>>290998512>Died one year LaterDuring The End time?
>>291007652I thought that was a reference to the park caretaker job.
>>290998512Which death would you pick?
>>291008988MeteoriteIf you're gonna go out, might as well go out being famous, only one other guy in history went out that way in turkey like 150 years ago
>>290998497what's the SFX here btw?
>>291009160Karan, it's supposed to be onomatopoeic of the sound of clatteringJapanese onomatopoeia never makes sense to me, it's like they hear sounds entirely different
>>291009160Wiktionary says からん is the sound of bells or footsteps in geta. Click clack clink something?
>>291009292I'm not an expert but I feel like Japanese onomatopoeia is more performative/symbolic in general, they kind of work as signifiers that are comfortable to pronounce rather than 1-to-1 reproductions
>>291004680well, have you looked how the ones so far all looked they were all grayish
>>290974122No animal targets specific body parts like that.
>>290974194Why are they like this.
>>290974235I like how so many of the Grays have these weird painted on eyes. Like something that only vaguely understands how humans look like so it's trying to copy and paste elements from them onto itself to poor effect.
>>290974294Can we get one normal person making these job requests please.
>>291009813well they are shady jobswhy would the employers be normal...

>>290998488Fuck 'em up, girl.
>>290974636Think it's less getting more human and more that their bodies are hollow and they're bloating with all the internal organs and bodily fluids they're ingesting. Like a paper bag filled up with sloshing entrails.
