Made in Abyss Chapter 062

The Place of Song is the sixty-second chapter of the Made in Abyss manga series.

Synopsis
The chapter opens with Riko's group sleeping and the sequence shifting to Riko seemingly communicating with Prushka in a realm of subconsciousness. Prushka tries to establish communication with Doni, but informs Riko she is unable to do so. The two change topics and talk about Reg, Faputa and Wazukyan's goals. Then, Prushka notices someone is trying to wake Riko and both say their goodbyes and promise to meet again another time.

As Riko wakes up, she sees it was Reg who woke her to tell her something. Reg tells Riko about the name tags he witnessed falling down and how it most likely relates to something going on in Orth. As Nanachi wakes too, they state it most likely has to do with the time difference on the surface and hence why so many tags fell at once. They then explain again how the flow of time is different in the lower layers. Time passes slower the deeper that you go into the Abyss.

Reg notes that he hopes the others in the upper layers are alright. Riko gives the group a motivating speech about how the White Whistles and ranks close to White Whistle level are probably aware of the on goings above, and will do something about it.

Nanachi praises Riko for her leadership skills, and the group begins to travel further into the 6th layer. During their travels, Faputa questions Nanachi about the curse and Nanachi gives Faputa explanations to it, noting that she and Riko are susceptible to it. Then, suddenly, Meinya reacts to something and looks for it. As the group follows Meinya they come upon the corpse of a Black Whistle Delver.

Reg initially panics, but Nanachi quickly informs him that the Delver is already dead. As the group wonders about his cause of death, and which group he could have belonged to, Nanachi searches him for useful common Artifacts Delvers often carry. They collect an all-purpose lock pick, Gentle Knock, and an air dumpling, Mermaind Burp, from the corpse.

As the group continues their travels, they come upon a bale of Emperorshells and Nanachi, amazed by it, recites lyrics of a folk song based on the White Whistles that she used to read to Mitty. As Nanachi gets sentimental, Faputa reassures them in their bond to Mitty.
