New Oniokoshi chapter is out.

Vandalism on the village is blamed on Polaris.

Kururu joins the club. Her hobby is photography.

There's a picnic party celebrating the new member and during it she takes a picture of the club then starts playing around with Keitaro. Afterwards she approaches Kihiro and tries to feed him, but he politely rejects it (saying he'd eat on his own pace). Although there's an impact panel showing it seemed to be surprising, but both of them acted like nothing had happened and Keitaro starts talking about various places in Hinamizawa.

Then suddenly Kururu asks about Oyashiro-sama and everyone freezes. She talks about the legend about Hinamizawa's people kidnapping and eating others and about the cases that started 40 years ago which were said to be tied to the curse.

Sakiko's face suddenly changes and she starts saying that although she doesn't know details the curse is real, and Oyashiro-sama is a fearful god who curses strangers and the enemies of the village. Sakiko immediately changes to a playful face and starts joking around, while Kururu is basically frozen.

Anyway, afterwards Keitaro asks Kururu about stories about Polaris, like their really loud celebrations. A sad Kururu says that it's "Hypnos" Flute. Apparently they use a medicine combined with music, scent to unleash all the aggressiveness of the members during those rituals. She doesn't like them. Keitaro then asks about Inori, and Kururu suddenly pulls a scary face, wondering if Keitaro is targeting her, but then plays it all off as a joke. And the chapter ends with sad Kihiro looking at Keitaro talking with Kururu.
