Chapter 57 – Death Crimson [Character Lost]

“We managed to stop the bleeding. If we hadn’t, he might’ve died from the blood loss.”

“Medical tools can be found in private houses… for now… let’s look for them.”

“I-I understand.”

“Got it.”

The four girls were busy tending to Haruka, who had been seriously wounded by a blow to the abdomen by Kuzuryuu.

Since he was lying on the roof of the building, he could not be moved properly and had to be treated on site.

Although she had no chance to pick it up in this game, Tsuyuri knew from her experience in the previous games that medical tools existed.

She instructed Madoka and Suzu to search for the medical tools, and left Haruka to Sakurako to search for the tools herself.

?If he can endure for the next thirteen hours…! Haruka…!)

Impatience and anxiety. Sweat trickling down her cheeks. Restless palpitations.

However, there was hope in the midst of despair.

There are thirteen hours left until the end of the game.

Haruka was not dead yet. Not much blood has flowed. As long as he is treated properly, he can survive for another thirteen hours.

“Hang in there… Haruka…!”

Gasping for breath, Tsuyuri continued her search.

If she doesn’t find a box that stood out, she would leave the house immediately and run to the house next door. She repeated it again and again.

?

“Obi-kun… Wait for me.”

Madoka was running desperately with the medical kit she had found at a house.

She could do nothing but be protected, and this was the only work she could do.

She had to deliver this medical kit to Haruka before it was too late.

She was not very strong, and her motor skills were not much more than average, but she kept running, enduring the pain in her lungs.

A shot rang out just a few feet away from her.

It was a loud gunshot and a strange sound as if several bullets had landed on top of each other.

Madoka was startled and falls down.

Catching her breath, she got up.

“Stop, woman! Put your hands up.”

?A player?! He was so far away from me when I checked earlier though….)

When they checked the enemy’s position with the mod earlier, the remaining two were far away from them.

That’s why Madoka and co. haven’t been paying attention to them and concentrated on the search. However, it seemed that they had approached her more quickly than she had expected.

To begin with, the safe zone of the field has already shrunk by 80%, it’s size was only about three kilometers from one end to the other.

Madoka had forgotten that so she could get to Haruka as fast as possible if she ran.

Madoka carefully carried the medical kit and stared at the man pointing a shotgun at her.

Then she was startled to see another man with an automatic rifle following the man with the shotgun.

It was Kajita Shuuichi, Madoka’s childhood friend.

Shuuichi was also surprised and froze.

“Shuu-kun…?”

“M-Madoka… Why are you here?”

“What? Do you know her?”

Both Madoka and Shuuichi stood there stunned with their mouths open.

Suddenly she remembered Haruka’s figure and came back to herself.

She held the medical kit tighter and looked for an opening.

“Shuu-kun… Are you going to shoot me?”

“No, of course not! Come with me, Madoka… The three of us will clear the area.”

Shuuichi shifted his gun to one hand and extended his free hand to Madoka.

“Get back! Madoka!”

It was a dignified woman’s voice. Madoka recognizes it immediately as Suzu’s.

Suzu set her sights on them and pulled the trigger of her submachine gun. A light shot rang out, bullet tears through Makabe, the shotgun man. The shotgun broke and crumbled to the ground with Makabe.

Shuuichi immediately raised his gun and showed his intention to fight back, but Madoka quickly clung to him to stop him.

“That’s my friend! Don’t shoot!”

“I-I got it… But Makabe…”

Shuuichi looks at Makabe, who has collapsed a few meters away. They had met early in the game and had been friends ever since. In an instant, he has become a mute corpse. It was inevitable to be upset.

“I guess I’m done here…”

Suzu smiled a self-deprecating smile and fell silent. The fragile figure of Suzu trying to accept her death was so beautiful that the both of them could not help but admire it.

Suzu’s card was the seven of spades. If she killed another player, she would not be able to meet her clear condition.

“Oh no… Suzu-san…”

Madoka’s heart was crushed with despair and sadness. It was so cruel that Suzu could not clear the game after coming this far.

Out of the corner of Madoka’s eye, she saw Makabe’s fingertips twitch.

Makabe, who was lying on the ground, was not wounded enough to play dead. Even now, the pool of blood is expanding every minute.

The finger may have moved as some reaction after his death, but that doesn’t mean there is no possibility.

It wasn’t impossible.

Makabe wasn’t shot in the head.

Madoka sucked in a breath, put down her carefully kept medical kit on the ground, and drew her pistol from the holster on her hip.

With a shaky hand, she took aim and pulled the trigger a mere thirty centimeters away.

A dry shot rang out, and the bullet fired at close range was sure to destroy Makabe’s head.

“Senrei…”

“There’s a chance that.. I might be counted as the one who killed him. We have no choice but to bet on that…”

Madoka’s voice was trembling as she answered.

“…. I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

“That’s not true, I don’t want Suzu-san to die after coming all the way here…”

The tip of her gun shook violently. Madoka put the pistol back in its holster, exhaling deeply.

“Let’s go. Obi-kun is waiting for us.”

“Right… Let’s hurry.”

They left without Shuuichi.

“W-wait, don’t leave me!”

Shuuichi chased after Madoka and Suzu, but then stopped.

Shuuichi looked at them and his dead friend alternately, and a pained expression appeared on his face.

“I’m sorry, Makabe.”

Praying to the man who had been his friend for a short time, Shuuichi followed them.

?

Shuuichi’s card has not been checked, but it’s safe to say that there were no more enemies left.

Neither Madoka nor Suzu looked relieved, even though their safety was assured.

Thus, Madoka with her medical kit arrived safely at the place where the bleeding Haruka was.

Seeing Haruka’s face, both Madoka and Suzu turned pale.

Shuuichi, who understood Haruka’s situation, also looked sad with his eyes downcast.

“T-This is…”

“Nanasaki, what about Obi?”

“He’s still holding on, but the bleeding hasn’t stopped. Get the medical kit over here.”

“Yes…”

Madoka handed the medical kit to Sakurako.

“It’s fortunate that the kit is designed to be used even if we don’t have any healing skills.”

It’s a well-known fact that the game is set up in such a way that the weight of the medical kit and firearms is taken into consideration for the sake of game balance, although the sensation of pain and physical laws are as close as possible to those in reality.

The medical kits heal the patients by themselves just by placing it on them, and the firearms are light enough to be handled by women.

The treatment started immediately, and Haruka was given a blood transfusion.

Sakurako inserted a needle into the place where Haruka was hit with a bullet and sewed it up roughly to forcefully stop the bleeding.

“Suzu, give a signal to Tsuyuri.”

“Oh, I forgot…”

When the group can get some kind of medical tool, they fire three shots. If something unusual happens, they are supposed to fire four shots.

Suzu took out her pistol and fired three shots into the air.

“I’ll take care of this. You two collect the card from the corpses.”

“Yes. Shuu-kun, come with me…”

“Eh? A- okay..”

“You’ll stay on the case, right?”

“I’m on it.”

Suzu, Madoka, and Shuuichi head to retrieve the card from the corpse that Haruka killed.

“Twelve hours left… You have to survive at all costs, Haruka…”

Sakurako continued to stay behind to observe the progress of the treatment.

She felt that the color of his face had improved somewhat, and she was a little relieved.

“Haruka!”

Tsuyuri came back earlier than expected.

“Calm down, Shirogane. We’ve passed the hurdle for now.”

“Really?”

“Yes, it’s better than before.”

Sakurako looked at Haruka. When she looked at his face, it seemed that Haruka’s condition was indeed getting better.

“I’m glad…”

Sakurako took a position beside him and brushed his sweaty bangs off his forehead.

“Nee-san…”

was all that he said, calling out to his sister in a whisper… Haruka drifted off into a deep sleep.

“It’s okay… Haruka..”

Tsuyuri smiled, holding Haruka’s hand in place of his sister who was not here.

“We’ll make it home alive…”

“Soon, I’m sure it will come true.”

“Yeah…”

Tsuyuri held Haruka’s hand, and despite the hard floor, she fell unconscious.

Sakurako continued to watch Haruka’s sleeping face with a calm expression.

?

“Otou-sama, Okaa-sama, Onee-sama(s), please. Please vote for the fourth game”

Shinku bent down deeply and pleaded to her family.

“Raise your head, Shinku. You can’t influence others to vote for you here.”

“…. But if I don’t do this, Obi-san will…”

She looked up, but repeated her wish.

“Rest assured, Shinku. Even those with rotten hearts wouldn’t choose a bad ending.”

“……”

“The results are displayed. Look.”

Reiji indicated with his chin. Shinku looked at the results fearfully and saw that the fourth game was the winner with seventy-one percent.

Relieved, Shinku slumped down on the carpet.

“I’m glad…  so glad…”

It was nothing short of a miracle that six people survived the fouth game.

Starting with Haruka who died in the third game, Reizei Suzu, Nanasaki Sakurako, Senrei Madoka, Shirogane Tsuyuri, and Kajita Shuuichi, all the players who were popular among the audience survived.

Although the fourth game itself was not so active, it was a game with a definite happy ending, and many of the audience voted for it.

In a space filled with malice, applause rang out in celebration for the survivors.

The horrified spirits of the guests all had a uniformly satisfied look on their faces.

Sakuragi Yui DEAD.

Koizumi Serie DEAD.

Makabe Yuichi DEAD.

Kijima Isao DEAD.

Ono Masaru DEAD.

Gonzo Kageyama DEAD.

Sasaki Asako DEAD.

Kuzuryuu Masaomi DEAD.

Eight boys and girls who died inside the chosen game have their lives mercilessly taken from them.

How miserable, ugly, and unreasonable it was. Shinku’s shoulders trembled with rage against Red Rom and Reiji who was related to her.

In any case, the party has now ended.

Haruka would come home safely.

Despite all the things that had transpired, that fact alone calls for celebration.

?

“Where is this..?”

Haruka woke up and found himself in a strange white room.

“Haruka!”

Immediately, Haruka’s field of vision was covered with fluffly blonde hair. A strong shock hits his body as he sunk down into the bed.

The one who jumped on him as soon as he woke up was Ise Ria, one of his dearest lovers.

Haruka felt like he hadn’t seen her in a very long time, he couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

“Where are we?”

“We’re in a hospital, hospital! You were in a serious accident. Do you remember?”

“No…”

All Haruka remembered was the horrible death game.

The only thing he can remember right away was the vivid memory of the murders that had happened.

Reflexively, Haruka looked away from Ria and turned his head down.

The world must have changed it to some kind of accident instead of a death game. It was a good thing for Haruka, but he found it annoying.

“Thank goodness you are safe! I’m so glad…!”

With tears in her eyes, Ria softly hugged Haruka.

“I survived…?”

As he hugged Ria back, Haruka’s face showed a melancholy expression.

Haruka didn’t feel anything about the killing itself.

It was a world where if he didn’t kill, he would be killed instead.

(It’s just too sad.)

Tears welled up in the corner of his eyes.

Haruka held on to Ria’s body tightly, as if to hold back his sadness.
