You can read chapter 15 here on the MAGKAN official website!
As we are still(!) at the Karako's Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Backstory station, content warnings for this chapter include aftermath of brainwashing/torture, body horror, child grooming, temporary character death, hate mobs, Characters Coping With Trauma Badly, and Designated Kinome Yikes Guy Nonsense.
Returntovoid: I have a task I would like to ask of you.
Returntovoid: It's something only you can do...
RTV Hideout
Cultists: Ooh, this is exciting!
Cultists: Let's put 'em in on 3!
Fluffy Cultist: THREE!!!
Cultists: Too fast...!
Cultists: Looking at this light makes me feel funny... I think I might puke from the anxiety.
Cultists: Who would've thought? I never would've dreamed...
THE EMPTY-HEARTED GIRL AND THE RAINBOW FRAGMENTS
Cultists: ...That we could be saviors ourselves!
[sfx: chill]
Poyoko: (Something's coming... I know this feeling!)
Poyoko: (It's a fragment of the King...)
Poyoko: (Oh... I know these people!)
[note: see chapter 3, volume 1]
Cultist Legion: Let's BREAk that eGG!
[sfx: hop]
[sfx: whee!!]
Poyoko: Th... they fell...
Corbeau: Agh! Finally, someone who's awake!
Poyoko: It's you!!
[sfx: LAND]
Everyone: UWAH?!
Oz: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Eba: What the fuck?! Also, don't cry.
Poyoko: Eba! Oz! You have to stop them! They're trying to break the egg!
Eba: Poyoko! ...And...
Eba: Corbeau!!!
Corbeau: Good grief! What do you think I am, a mailman?!
Corbeau: Here! I brought it all! Ooh, that was heavy!
Eba: FINALLY!
Eba: YEAH! I'm back, babey!
Cultists: Yeek! It's Eba!
Corbeau: This isn't my usual line of work at all! It's going to cost you!
Eba: This guy's got my tab.
Oz: ME?!?!?!
Eba: Look, buddy, you're the one who cut me in half. D'you want me to tell the whole planet how much gold you got stuffed in these caves?
Oz: I-I'll pay! I'll pay!!
Oz: Yikes, this IS expensive...
Corbeau: Thank you kindly!
[sfx: run run run]
Poyoko: They're so far ahead!
Cultist Legion: KeEP going! we'rE BREaking thAT EGg!
Eba: What's their problem?! Is their sense of fear broken?!
Poyoko: It's the King's fragments! Their desires are out of control!
Eba: WH?!?!!
Oz: Lord Ghost must have done this...! I think she had a few fragments.
Poyoko: Ghost?
Oz: Lord Ghost is a girl who's like a spirit... she's completely white.
Poyoko: (Karako-chan...!)
Oz: She said that she failed to become empty... that she lost her body, but not her soul.
Oz: Only people with no hope can perceive her. So at RTV, we gathered new members based on who could see her and who couldn't.
[We can see Lord Ghost, so we're allowed to join!]
Poyoko: (If Karako-chan gave them those fragments... then they know where she is!)
Eba: I've had it up to here...
Eba: HOW DARE SHE USE THE KING'S FRAGMENTS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS!! I'M GONNA KILL HER DEAD!!
Oz: Yikes...
Rainbow King: Please, save Karako.
Poyoko: (I'm sure Karako-chan is like me. She might say she doesn't care...)
Poyoko: (...but she's been waiting for somebody to help her.)
Poyoko: (I'll save her... no matter what!)
Poyoko: (I'm sure that's why she led me to this world...!)
Days have passed since Karako disappeared.
Eba: (Your Majesty... what should I say at a time like this...?)
Rainbow King: I'm sorry for worrying you, Eba.
[sfx: gasp]
Rainbow King: I know where Karako is thanks to the pendant I gave her. I could fly to her right now, if I could work up the nerve. But I'm too scared.
Rainbow King: I never knew... just how awful it feels... to have hurt somebody...
Eba: Your Majesty... This isn't your fault.
Rainbow King: ......Is there anything... I can even do for Karako...?
Returntovoid: My father was a murderer.
Karako: (Returntovoid...)
Returntovoid: It was such a well-known incident that everyone knew my father's name and face. His, along with his wife and child's.... Society rejected my mother and me. We had nowhere to go and nowhere to rely on. Our world was full of enemies...
Karako: (...only ever talked about themself and never shut up. I couldn't have cared less.)
Returntovoid: I hate them. I hate them. We did nothing wrong. Why did we have to suffer?
Returntovoid: Oh, Savior, this world is so unfair.
Returntovoid: This world is divided into those who have everything and those who have nothing at birth...
Karako: (I don't care.)
Returntovoid: I hate them.
Karako: (I don't care.)
Returntovoid: All the people who live on the highest peaks without the slightest inconvenience...
Karako: (I don't care.)
Returntovoid: Everyone without a sorrowful past or worries for the future...
Karako: (I don't care.)
Returntovoid: I hate them so much I can't stand it.
Returntovoid: This world requires fixing, and that...
Karako: (I DON'T CARE.)
Returntovoid: ...is something only you can do.
Karako: (YEAH!!!)
Returntovoid: Only you can go further than this...
Karako: (That's more like it! That's what I want to hear!)
Returntovoid: Only someone from another world like you...
Karako: (Give me more of that!!)
Returntovoid: ...can break the egg and fix this world... You're the only one.
Karako: (I still...)
Returntovoid: I leave it all to you, my Savior.
Karako: (I still have someone who needs me!)
Sun King: ...Someone's closing in on the egg.
Kid: What's with the sky? It's weird.
Kids: It's kinda scary. It's getting dark, let's go home.
Mimi's Mom: It's gotten cold all of a sudden...
Old Lady: It hurts... My ears hurt...
Kid: Grandma?
Baby: MYAAAAAYYYWUUUAAAAAHHH
Rainbow King: Karako... no. You mustn't...!
[sfx: SLAM]
Eba: Your Majesty! Something's wrong with everybody!
Eba: Your Majesty?!
Rainbow King: Eba, I'm going to find Karako.
Eba: Huh?
Rainbow King: She's trying to break the egg. I have to stop her.
Eba: (I have a bad feeling about this.)
Eba: I'll go too!
Rainbow King: You can't. It's too dangerous. Eba... take care of everyone.
Eba: (I feel like the Rainbow King is leaving me for good.)
Eba: No! Don't go!
Eba: Your Majesty!
Eba: (I feel like...)
Eba: Don't go...
Eba: (I'll never see them again...)
Karako: (It's soo thick....)
Rainbow King: Karako, no!
Karako: Rainbow King?!
[sfx: crk]
Karako: ...What're you here for?
Karako: You lied! I hate you!
Karako: Leave me alone!
Rainbow King: ...Karako, everyone's worried about you.
[sfx: SNAP]
Karako: Liar!! No they're not! They're mad at me!!
[sfx: crk...]
Karako: They were happy and I ruined it! They don't want me there!
Karako: This is the only place I have left!
Rainbow King: That's not true!
Rainbow King: Nobody's angry. You...
Rainbow King: You can still come home... Karako.
[sfx: crack]
Rainbow King: KARAKO!
Rainbow King: (No... All I could save was her soul...)
Rainbow King: You really want to get out that much? Well, too bad.
Rainbow King: I won't let you return the world to nothingness. You're going back to sleep.
Karako: Your Majesty...?
Karako: ...I can still... go home...
Crowd: Huh?
Crowd: The scary thing is gone.
Crowd: Look! It's sunny!
Crowd: Yay!
Crowd: Mushka, are you ok?
Crowd: It's not shaking anymore!
Crowd: The weather's great!
Sun King: REJOICE, PEASANTS!
Sun King: YOUR KING IS HERE!
Crowd: It's the Sun King!
Crowd: The Sun King!
Crowd: Oh, the Moon King's there too!
Sun King: Listen well, everyone! Your great fear from a moment ago was caused by someone trying to break the Void Egg.
Crowd: The Void Egg! Oh no! I thought that might be it!
Sun King: But you have nothing to fear! For the Rainbow King...
Sun King: ...sacrificed their very life to seal the Void away!
Crowd: HUH?! THE RAINBOW KING?! THEY'RE DEAD?!
Crowd: WAAAAAAAAHHH! WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHO DID THIS?!
Sun King: The residents of this world cannot even approach the egg.
Sun King: The culprit who broke it was a villain from another world!
Karako: Everyone's there... What's going on?
Crowd: Another world... does that mean...
Sun King: Verily!
Sun King: The Rainbow King is dead because of the human!
Crowd: The... human? But the only human...
Crowd: It must be Karako!
Crowd: Yeah! You're right! She's so weird! We'll never forgive her!
Kid: Mom... is the Rainbow King really gone?
Mushka: No... It can't be true......! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!
Sun King: (Just as I expected... the mortals are so boring.)
Eba: You wait a second!
Eba: I don't believe it. The Rainbow King can't be dead!
Sun King: Oh, the amoeba.
Sun King: (This is perfect.)
Sun King: You're right. We Kings never die. Or at least, we don't die like you mortals do.
Sun King: Why don't I tell you our secret?
Sun King: Moon King, Moon King! Let's make a bet! About whether the Rainbow King will revive or not!
Sun King: I never expected something so fun to happen!
Sun King: This should entertain me for a while!
Crowd: It's Karako's fault! Everything is Karako's fault!
Karako: (The King... is dead...? Because of me......?)
Rainbow King: I'll always be with you.
Rainbow King: You can still come home...
Karako: Liar.
