Kazuki: Haruki!
HARUKI!!
I'm so glad~! I was worrying that you'd gone off somewhere!
But there's no way you would
Leave me behind!
Page 5
Kazuki: ...who...?
[unknown boy]: ...who?
I wonder...
Page 6
Yuki: Kazuki!
Kazuki: ...Yuki...?
!
Haruki!
Where's Haruki?
Sion: He isn't here.
Page 7
Kazuki: You're...?
Hmm....
Sh....si.... uh....
Si..... umm...
Shiron! (in little text: Because you're white.(hair color, shiro is white in Japanese))
Yuki: You idiot! He's Sion Saiguuji, your sempai! He saved your life!
Page 8
Kazuki: ! I messed up~~~
Yuki: Why are you getting embarrassed about it...
Hey, why don't you apologize to Saiguuji-san?
Kazuki: ...
....why?
...Why isn't Haruki here,
Sion?
Sion: ...
Kazuki: You know something, don't you?

Kazuki: ANSWER ME!
Sion: As you wish.

Newsperson: The next item on the news: Yesterday at around 16o'clock (4 P.M.), an explosion of unknown origin was set off in the county private high school, “Seitoukou Gakuen.” Emergency actions are being taken at the scene...
The day of the incident, 1400 students and staff members were thought to be present at the school. More than 800 deaths have been reported.
Victims trapped in the building rubble are estimated to have a low chance of survival
The cause of the explosion iscurrently under investigation...
Kazuki: An explosion?
Wasn't the only broken window the one in the church?
Yuki: Ah... no....
After you were stabbed, we got into the helicopter, and almost immediately the temperature skyrocketed...
And... in that moment...
Page 11
Kazuki: 800 people died, huh?
Yuki: !
Sion: No, everyone is most likely dead... Except us.
One of the important rules of this game is, “never leave a trace of evidence of it”
More than 1000 years ago, the “chosen ones” would wage wars almost constantly
After every war, there would be many casualties but no winner
And finally, they decided to agree on certain “terms”
Kazuki or Yuki: Terms?
Page 12
Sion: In order to lessen the victims of war, they would decide the place, time, and number of people beforehand.
With those terms, the small wars would be called “di[e]ce.” ...and yesterday, the 11th of November, in our country on “holy ground,” they(the wars/games) began once more.
Kazuki: So the reason the school became all weird...
Yuki: So the school was the “place,” 3 hours was the “time limit,” and the 1400 people were...
they wound up tangled up in the di[e]ce....
Sion: Yes, for the “first time”
Yuki: “First time”!? ....this.... making people kill each other.... is going to continue!?
Sion: Until a victor emerges.
Kazuki: How does someone win? Do they count the number of survivors of each side or something?
Sion: Depending on the game, the way to “win” changes. The one true way to win, no matter what the game...
...is to kill the “king.”
Page 13
Kazuki: “King”?
Sion: The reason the di[e]ce began on your 16 birthdays is no coincidence, but a sort of “age requirement” for the game to begin.
You and he are the special “players” that bear the burden of winning the game...
Kazuki: You mean...
Haruki: I heard... everything... about the game
I don't want to believe it, but..
...will Kazuki be alright?
Sion: ...
Haruki: An immature game like this...
Page 14
Haruki: I'll end it.
Until then...
Sion: The other “king” is Koutake Haruki
To become the victor and end the di[e]ce...
You must kill him.
Kazuki: ....you...
...you expect me to believe that?
Page 15
Kazuki: I dunno about this 'dice' or whatever, but me killing Haruki? That definitely
definitely WON'T happen.
Yuki: Kazuki!
Sion: Then every time a di[e]ce occurs, the same kind of thing as what happened in Seitoukou Gakuen will happen and there will be many victims.
Do you not remember?
Dying once?
Kazuki: I... died...?
Sion: That was the first victory in “di[e]ce.”
You...
Page 16
Sion: You were killed by one of his “players”
Kazuki: One of Haruki's players....
....killed me....?
Sion: No worries.
Page 17
Yuki: ...His stab wound is gone.......!?
Sion: Only the “king” can kill another “king.” Other deaths will cause “no change”
Only the king can be reset...
And it confirms your role as a player in (the) di[e]ce. My role...
...is to not let you die.
Kazuki [thinking]: Oh....
Page 18
Kazuki: Are you crying?

Kanzaki: It's Kanzaki.
...um, how is Naruse-kun?
Yuki: O-oh, please come in!
H-he just woke up!
Kazuki: Kanzaki?
Yuki: Remember, you ran out of your hospital room out onto the rooftop? He's the guy that helped us then!
Kazuki: ....okay.... So
Page 20
Kazuki: Why are you acting like that? [small text] It's kind of creepy
Yuki: E-eh~ But....?
Kanzaki: ...excuse me.
Page 21
Kanzaki: If you'd like this-
Yuki: He's the iron masked rider! (iron kamen rider) Kanzaki-san! I watch you every Sunday at 25o'clock! (1 A.M.)
Kazuki: H-how manly!
Kanzaki: ????
Kazuki: So, what's the iron masked rider?
Yuki: It's pretty common knowledge.... you don't know!?
Kazuki: Huh, so he's amazing?
Yuki: You don't get it at all, do you?
Kanzaki: U-um,
if you'd like this melon...
Sion: ...
