Volume 28: Chapter 194.5: Narcissists Cradle Arc - Part XXII.

  "I will give all of my points to you, if you incorrectly vote all of the upcoming claims." Arkalee made the offer "Oh, I see." Tatsu was not surprised "He must've promised you great compensation for all this acting... Now it all makes sense." Arkalee became frightened as she heard those words "He----HE KNOWS?!" She dreaded "43k points just for me to incorrectly score, which would mean that Lus' contract would apply which would result in me having to give all the points I earned from you, back to you." His poker face broke and he displayed a condescending look "You're a fucking dumb whore, Arkalee. I'll cut your brain off next." Tatsu brutally rejected the contract as he turned away "Wait, Tatsu. You're not seeing the bigger picture here......." Arkalee gulped "If you think that with this contract that you'll have to give the points you originally owe back to me, then you're wrong. You see, that only applies if Lus' contract is still online..." She shrewd her words carefully and Tatsu immediately realized what she was implying.

  0:30 seconds remain.

  "Far too risky to even consider. You are assuming that this will work. You are heavily underestimating the situation here." Tatsu criticized her "But it will? You know what will happen, right?" Arkalee asked to make sure "She's a better opponent than Kawahara." Tatsu cut Arkalee off and went back to his seat ".....How did he know....." Arkalee was suspended in disbelief nevertheless.

  0:24 seconds remain.

  "I... I just can't... I don't know what to believe in...!! If Kawahara is serious about what he said then the answer he just said has to be false in theory. But if Tatsu knows that, then does that mean that he will vote for yes?! Or did Kawahara predict that he would see all of this and purposely said those words so I would vote no?! But what if Tatsu is aware of this and therefore he will vote for no?! So by that logic I should vote----" Lus' head began to hurt as her brain felt fatigued "Oh God." Her breaths were not synchronized "Lus, are you alright?" Ikkiri touched her right shoulder "No way she's alright, she's burning with fever..." Hinagiku touched Lus' forehead briefly "A little in the middle of 38 degrees Celsius yikes....." Hinagiku told her "Ahh..." Lus' face was filled with an abysmal lack of nutrition "Mhm... Shouldn't we help her? I mean, she did save me from my position..." Ikkiri laughed in a desperate way "I kinda feel bad... Aren't you trying too hard to figure out such an easy answer?" Hinagiku's words would provoke Lus' right away.

  0:17 seconds remain.

  "I'm not in the fucking mood for your jokes, fuck off....!!" Hinagiku could feel Lus' killing intent with her words alone "But I'm not joking. I do know the answer. And I can sell it to you, just as I did to Ikkiri!" Hinagiku proclaimed "Hina is a ride or die, she's making me question my sexuality. Hyunda's too lucky, I'm telling you!" Ikkiri smirked at Hinagiku "Hah, and how the fuck would you even know the correct answer?! Through some stupid gimmick?!" Lus felt like mocking Hinagiku's ignorance "Oh no, I don't know how. Not that I have to. Because he knows." Hinagiku turned her head faraway to Daniel "Dani...." Lus' expression softened "He told me the answer because he has to tell me the answer to every claim until the judgment rounds end as part of the condition of my contract with Yulia." Lus was aware of the contract already "I'll cut to the chase, give me 10,000 points and the answer is yours. You should and definitely know that if he wants to score, he will. It's up to you." Hinagiku didn't pressure her "0:11 seconds by the way." But Ikkiri did "Oh and, the contract to give points must have a condition to it, as per usual~" Ikkiri giggled "Your turn..." Lus took the chance "I don't mind, but only if it's in the upcoming execution round and not this one." Hinagiku replied "F-Fine but you have to tell me every answer he tells you until this judgment round is over!" Lisa demanded "And we have a deal~" Hinagiku began to recite the contract out loud for Lus.

  0:08 seconds remain.

  "The answer Daniel told me is no. I also caught Yulia voting the same answer. Earlier they were doing the 50/50 strategy in order to avoid getting spied on but I don't think he cares anymore." Hinagiku confessed "......" Lus still held back on voting for a while "If you're thinking about Tatsu, then it's purely a 50/50. You can't do anything about it except if someone offers him a better deal than the one you did earlier, which, honestly... It's pretty hard." Ikkiri didn't shy away from the truth "You'll 100% score. When did you not when Daniel was in charge? Remember, you are where you are, thanks to him." Hinagiku reminded her ".....I know..." Lus acknowledged and voted "....." Ikkiri suddenly felt a strong urge to laugh so she grabbed her mouth with her two hands and forced herself not to laugh.

  The eleventh round came to an end and the ranking ladder-board was updated without further notice.

  As she saw it, her face fell flat on the desk table and many thought that she simply had passed out.

  "It probably works better if she doesn't wake up." Kuzan finally spoke out loud mildly "That's her third time in a row! How the hell is that even possible?!" Tateyana was amazed at the phenomenon "Just one more and she's done for...." Hinagiku thought to herself as she kept analyzing the ladder-board "YOU..........." Lus' creeping voice alerted Hinagiku right away as she saw Lus look at her on her right side, with her face still on the table ".........." Hinagiku saw Lus' face slowly rise from the desk's surface and she was more than composed "YOU LIED TO ME, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!" Lus threw one of her crutches at Hinagiku with lightning speed, to which Hinagiku was barely able to dodge "The hell?!" Hinagiku had to tilt her body forward as the crutch went above her "TEACHER, DO SOMETHING!!" Ikkiri immediately called out to Basara "LUS, STOP!" But despite Basara's warning, Lus grabbed her other crutch and was ready to throw it at Hinagiku who had yet to leave the chair-----Ikkiri was already up and behind the chair in order to not be a target "You will be penalized, I'm warning you." Lus' right hand began to shake as her face twitched with rage "JUST....." Lus turned to Daniel from afar "WHAT DID YOU VOTE FOR?!" Her face was emitting despair "I voted yes." Daniel kept it simple and told her the truth "I.....!!" She felt defeated "Come on now, Lus, even I------" Kawahara was ready to tell her "SHUT THE HELL UP!!! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!!!!" Lus dropped the crutch on the floor and covered her ears with her two hands.

  Her mind was swirling with a mountain of thoughts and it was to no one's surprise that this was all manufactured.

  "She really fell for it. All of that was worth it... Now the question is how do we make her incorrectly vote up next....." Arkalee narrowed Lus down "Kawahara said that when this happens that the best to do is play with Lus' psychology and pressure her into believing something that she 100% believes in but....!!!" Arkalee's teeth clashed "LUS ASKED DANIEL WHAT HE VOTED WHICH MUST MEAN THAT THAT BITCH IKKIRI AND THAT SLUT HINAGIKU PURPOSELY USED THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE VOTED THE ANSWER THAT SHE THOUGHT WAS DANIEL'S!!!! THAT WAS THE PLAN TO USE IN THIS ROUND!!!!!!" Arkalee's face became populated with fury "But it's still fine... The key is Daniel. She will believe Daniel 100%. And to ensure that he displays his role, as Kawahara predicted, I must offer him great compensation........" Arkalee became determined "....That's what she's thinking for sure." Kuzan calculated.

  The upcoming claim was a few seconds away from being drawn.

  "I managed to deceive her during her second failure and now Hinagiku and Ikkiri played their role. While it would be plausible to wait until Lus has failed three times in order to use the "Daniel" card, it was crucial that it got this far. I said to myself that I wasn't going to do anything, but I misjudged the situation. Something needs to be done in order to ensure that Lus doesn't correctly score. I wonder what happens if she gets knocked out and can't vote? Would that result in her voting being incorrect in the system? I am not sure..." Kuzan was narrowing down the possibilities "If Lus dies, then my competition will be Tatsu, but the problem is Kawahara's plan.... IF ONLY I KNEW WHETHER OR NOT IT ACTUALLY WORKS, DAMN IT!!!" Kuzan's right foot kept stomping on the ground; as he grew nervous "Because if it does, then my competition will be someone who actually knows what the fuck he's doing with his points and not Lus..." The upcoming claim was being written "As I thought... If there is just a way to make Lus go down while leaving her point barrier with an absurd gap, then that's the outcome. So, Lus cannot die..." Kuzan became decisive of what he must do.

  The twelfth round would now begin.

  "Ryousuke Kawahara has played this game before." The simple claim was marked "Tsk...." Arkalee clicked her tongue "......?!" Lus also realized "I knew it was an assumption on his end, but the teacher will always warn us when the last round is coming and this isn't the last round...." Arkalee arrived at the conclusion "It doesn't matter, Tatsu has incorrectly scored once, so if he scores incorrectly and Lus ALSO scores incorrectly, then the profit will be massive.....!!" Arkalee then looked at Hyunda "Oh Hyunda my love... Just you wait... Once I'm done obliterating these insects I'M COMING FOR YOU BABE!!!" Her smile became ecstatic "Now." Hyunda gave the order to Yukishiro and she begun to get up from her seat.

  0:57 seconds remain.

  Arkalee got up and went to Yulia and Daniel's direction. Kuzan got up and went in Lus' direction, on the other hand. Tatsu remained on his seat; Hyunda did the same.

  "Daniel..." Arkalee called out to him and he couldn't help but notice their striking similarities "You're burning up. I think that you should invest in those painkiller injections they have in the vending machines. Yulia, do you mind buying a few for her?" Daniel asked her "Uh, no, not at all." Yulia didn't mind "....I'll take you up on your offer...." The pain was beyond tolerable despite her emotional facade "But not now..." Arkalee knew that she could not waste time "I have bad news for you, Yulia..." Arkalee begun to smirk "?" Yulia's attention was caught "Kawahara won't be last place, you will." She declared "....." Yulia didn't necessarily react "Just when the last round drops he will obtain a lot of points. So many that his point will make him a top contender." Arkalee said "And when that happens, there will be no one but you in the last place. And don't think that Daniel here will save you because there will be people who will give points to the other ones at the bottom to ensure that YOU stay at the bottom!" Arkalee's devilish smile widened "......" But Yulia wasn't reacting; simply looking at Arkalee "...Why isn't she saying anything....?" Arkalee found it strange.

  0:50 seconds remain.

  "Arkalee, get to the point." Daniel ordered "...The point is that you will need points to surpass the others! Let me ask you this, in order to avoid getting plotted against, how many points do you think you'd need to be safe?" Arkalee started her instigation "Um..." Yulia placed her right index finger on her lips while looking up "I don't know..." She looked at Daniel with carefree eyes "How many would I need?" She asked Arkalee "......" Arkalee felt like something was off but she nevertheless went through the necessary length of explanation "If I'm blunt, since you have a 40k point bounty on your head, you'd need to be ahead of at least 7 people! Specifically speaking, you'd need around 40k points, which would not only put you in a very favorable position but would allow you to dodge the competition at the bottom if I made myself be clear here." Arkalee giggled "With that said, I am glad to inform you that I can provide you with those 40k points, Yulia!" Arkalee delivered the news spontaneously "Really?!" Now bubbly, Yulia couldn't help but be happy about this "Yes, really. I will give you all of my points, even..." Arkalee went a step further "You will have 62k points, you will be ahead of Kuzan for that matter." Arkalee was dead serious, Yulia could no longer be in her acting form "Uh... Ok, give me your points then?" Yulia saw no reason to wait.

  0:43 seconds remain.

  "I will. But only if Lus doesn't score correctly this round....." Arkalee's eyes were on Daniel "You think she'll listen to me?" Daniel raised his eyebrows "1000% certain she will. There is no one in this room that can get through her right now, NO ONE." Arkalee remarked with a semi-loud voice "Yeah, probably." Daniel acknowledged "No, not probably. I am dead serious and you know this, Daniel. Daniel, if you go ahead and tell her the wrong answer, I will give all my points to Yulia." Her attention was now on Yulia "Mhmm... What do you think, Yulia? Yes or no?" Daniel calmly asked "Ummm...." Yulia thought for a bit "They can't be serious. Kawahara will not be at the bottom, I think that Daniel knows that Kawahara had a backup plan for that but for him to actually minimally believe that this BITCH won't be at the bottom, is ridiculously ABSURD!!! THERE'S A BOUNTY ON HER HEAD FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!!" Arkalee's inner turmoil grew vast "Eh, I'll pass." Yulia calmly rejected Arkalee's proposal "....." Arkalee was prematurely stunned and therefore unable to react "I mean... Lus dying would just be worse, no?" Yulia talked to Daniel instead "Right you are sweetheart." Daniel kissed Yulia on her open forehead and she squirmed a bit "Hihi~~" Yulia smiled "H-Hold on...!!" Arkalee just couldn't process what was happening.

  0:35 seconds remain.

  "What do you mean you'll pass?! You WILL be at the bottom, I swear I'm not even joking about this!!" Arkalee was truthful "Uh, no I won't? Daniel said I wouldn't and I believe in my God." Yulia's eyes didn't falter "Your... God...?" Arkalee's eyes twitched rapidly "Yes. And if that's all, can you go away? You're taking time away from me! I want to think more about the zones!" Yulia was getting angry "She's delusional. I don't know what Daniel told her but she's fucked. No, but still...!!!" Arkalee changed her target "If not Yulia, then how about you, Daniel?! All of my points!!" Arkalee was getting desperate "Under the same premise?" He made sure "Yes..." Arkalee replied quickly "No. Lus won't die." Daniel remained calm yet serious "You don't know that! You're not even trying to keep her alive by going to her!" Arkalee criticized "Again, I don't have to." Daniel closed his eyes "????????????????" Arkalee had reached the ultimate state of confusion "For her life is the most valuable of them all. And so, her value cannot go to waste......" Daniel opened his eyes and looked at Lus, who had her seat crowded with other players.

  Lus, despite being one wrong answer away from dying, didn't decrease in popularity. As a matter of fact, this situation alone called for the extreme opposite. Though her state of mind was being perpetuated by negative thoughts and unwanted agony, she had to make one critical decision.

  "Kawahara....." Lus called out to him, with a weak voice "How much for the right answer......" Her mouth was barely moving "......." Kawahara pretended to give some thought "Half." He said "Christ, that's..." Hinagiku feared the mere implication "Alright... If I score according to your answer, I will give you half of my points, Kawahara......" Lus was ready to recite the contract "However..... Should I not score and well, hahahah, die in the process.... Then you must bear all my contracts." Lus made her bargain "......" Kawahara was genuinely taken aback "...I want someone to know what it's like to be this manipulated and toyed with... It's not fair for me to suffer, so... I can give you half of my points but if you dare lie, then I will curse you." Her voice slowly regained strength "...." Kawahara hadn't calculated this outcome "Alright girly. You got yourself a fucking deal." Kawahara exhibited his wide confident smile and thus the contract was formed.

  0:53 seconds remain.

  "The answer is yes, of course I've played this game before." Kawahara said it out loud "It's not a coincidence that I proposed all of this. I've played it two times before." Kawahara additionally said "When?" Lus asked, not showing any signs of voting still "Last year, I was in Osaka and 9 months ago when I transferred myself to Saitama. I've known about C.O.D. for a while, you see." Kawahara explained further "C.O.D?" Tateyana asked Kanawari "....." She pointed at the highlighted title on the top of the room "Ahhh, Classroom of Doom!!" She realized "I don't mind answering more questions, Lus. But I don't want you to think that for a second I told you those answers wrongly. In the first place, in the last round, the answer I told you was correct. I don't know why you decided to listen to other opinions. Just vote what I told you and you will succeed. Remember, I profit nothing from you dying. The opposite, rather..." Kawahara showed his nervous side "......" Lus couldn't completely believe that 100% "Now, Lus, he's 100% lying to you, you know that, right?" Ikkiri decided to approach Lus from her left side "Fuck off, Ikkiri. Consider yourself ignored." Lus rejected Ikkiri's approach which pissed off Ikkiri a little bit "Excuse me? What did I do to you? I'll have you know that it was Hina that lied to you, not me!" Ikkiri switched sides fairly quickly "It WASN'T on purpose!" Hinagiku lied "I don't give a shit. You got what you wanted out of it. Pray to your God that I don't live to tell the tale because if I do, I'm coming after you..." Lus threatened Hinagiku.

  0:44 seconds remain.

  "Yeah thanks for the free 10,000 points!" Hinagiku felt playful "I'll pay more for your death." Lus' words made Hinagiku bite her tongue a bit "Seriously...?!" Hinagiku didn't like the way Lus was eyeing her suddenly "Hey hey!! Pay attention to me, Lus! You can't vote for Kawahara's answer, he's lying to you!!" Ikkiri demanded the world's attention "Please let me explain my reasoning..." Ikkiri wanted Lus to know "I don't give a shit. You aided her earlier with her answer. You fucking used my trust to Daniel to your advantage...!!!" Lus glared at Hinagiku once more "You're both liars." Lus condemned the two of them "How right you are." Kuzan showed up from behind, sneaking up on Lus' chair "Kuzan..." Hinagiku didn't like his presence at the current moment "He could be troublesome...." Ikkiri acknowledged deep down "Lus, I'll get to the point without wanting to piss you off; Kawahara is trying to get you killed." The revelation made Lus' face become perplexed "?!?!" She could barely process the idea "There is little time so I'll just explain..." Kuzan hung his arms crossed on top of Lus' chair and looked at her from above.

  0:37 seconds remain.

  "Throughout the rounds, Kawahara made sure that he would convey the answer in a way that only you'd get it, even going as far as either speaking in your own language or just outright give you the answer. Thanks to that, you have gained FAR too many points. And now that he has placed a root of expectation in you, he has been using it against you." Kuzan would say stronger words now "Lus, three rounds ago, when Arkalee called out to you, she lied for sure. Remember, she and Kawahara are in this together. Their contracts are beyond suspicious and there is likely compensation behind the scenes in the form of points. Two rounds ago, Arkalee used a method that she knew would work with Kawahara, but she lied to you, the method is likely the opposite of what she told you, even if you think the method is correct. And now, last round. Kawahara knew that you'd feel confused and so he told you the right answer but he knew in addition that if the answer would come from a source that you can't deny, that you wouldn't be able to..." Kuzan looked in Daniel's direction "......." And Lus couldn't deny it "And these two took advantage of that...." Kuzan wasn't exactly pleased with it "Oh for fuck's-----I just wanted some points, what's the big deal..." Hinagiku came clean with it "Fucking BITCH!!!" Lus couldn't stomach Hinagiku's hypocrisy "ARGH, Kuzan what the hell do you WANT?! I KNOW I'M BEING LIED TO!!!" Lus didn't like him wasting her time "You know that, but you don't know why Kawahara wants to kill you. Frankly, I don't think they do too......" Kuzan looked at Hinagiku and Ikkiri pretentiously.

  0:28 seconds remain.

  "You want to know? The real reason...? Then all you have to do is-----" Kuzan was interrupted as Yukishiro aggressively sat in the seat that's in-between Lus and Ikkiri "Kawahara wants to kill you because your points will go to him." Yukishiro revealed the truth "This BITCH!!!!!" Kuzan's skin crawled with rage "HUH?! HOW?!" Lus didn't bother to process her presence, she simply demanded to know how that could be true "Oh I'm not saying it for free, you cow." Yukishiro insulted Lus right away "THEN FUCK OFF!!! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN HERE ANYWAY?!?!" Lus persisted with her strong language "I'm here to save your ass from these sorry asses! But if you wish to die, then be my guest because if you keep listening to a single word ANYONE ELSE BUT ME SAYS, then you will die. 1000%." Yukishiro boldly proclaimed herself "Lus, that's fucking stupid. Don't listen to her, she's just trying to hustle you for your points before you die!" Kuzan argued "Funny how you're pretty confident that she's going to die." Yukishiro pointed out "So in other words, you will lead her into voting for the wrong answer, in the end." Yukishiro shrugged "Yeah, go ahead and listen to them if you want. Because you know, it's APPARENTLY more important to listen to what others have to say about what Kawahara is trying to do THAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING HOW TO KNOW THE ANSWER!!!" Yukishiro laughed ".....Understand the..... answer.......?" Lus sweated immensely but she also felt that she hadn't gained any intellectual advancement when it came to knowing the right and wrong answer.

  0:21 seconds remain.

  "Speak......." Lus said as she looked at the time "My time is short, so I'll---" Yukishiro was interrupted by Ikkiri right away "Oh no you won't!! You can't just come here and-----" But Yukishiro intervened as she predicted this "Give me your ear!! Or you'll die!! This way they can't intervene by cutting my speech!!" Yukishiro suggested "........" Lus leaned her head to the left side "Great now I really can't do anything... Maybe I can use viol------" As Ikkiri was pondering that, Basara gave a warning to them "Kuzan, Ikkiri, and Hinagiku, get back to your seats NOW!!! You have 5 seconds!!" Basara was not tolerating this lack of order anymore "Wait, HUH?! What about her?!" Hinagiku pointed at Yukishiro who was not seated in her previous seat "She's seated, you three are just hogging Lus' chair! There's a difference, you dumb fucks!! GET ON WITH IT!!!" Basara insisted "DAMN IT!!! IF I GO BACK TO MY SEAT THEN IT'S TOO FAR!!!" Hinagiku knew that she had to stall for time but Lus was already listening to everything Yukishiro was telling her "Do you understand now....?" Yukishiro explained Lus the very basics of what was going on to Lus.

  0:15 seconds remain and they were slowly retreating to their seats, despite not being able to listen to anything from the two of them.

  "Whatever, it's 50/50..." Kuzan was annoyed as he walked away; his eyes narrowed "But how did she know? How the fuck did Yukishiro know that Kawahara's aim was actually her points...?" Kuzan couldn't make sense of it "I... I do now...." Lus could finally piece everything together "Kawahara fed me correct answers earlier because his real intention was to trick me into voting incorrectly FOUR TIMES!!! Which is absurd to think about because why would he do that?! But her answer makes all the sense in the world, IF IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!" Lus felt as if she had dawned into something obvious yet layered "Yup, she knows." Kawahara sighed "No doubt about it, it's not Yukishiro who caught onto it, but rather..." Kawahara glanced at Hyunda, who had an impending smile on his face "That's great." Yukishiro noticed that all of the competition had gone back to their seats and so, she went to the core of the matter "I know the correct answer because I know the root of the answer, which is something you haven't been able to properly grasp for now despite having so many points..." Yukishiro pointed out although this unwanted criticism raised an eyebrow from Lus "The answer is no. He has not played this game before. Time is very short right now, so I'll explain my reasoning after the round is over. As for my reward, I want you to make a contract with the following: At the end of every judgment round, 20,000 points must be given from me to you. In return, I will stay here by your side and tell you how to get to every answer correctly." Yukishiro offered her terms "20k points every fucking round, are you INSANE?!" Lus found it absurd "You just offered half of your points to Kawahara for a single answer, you have no room to talk about insanity." Yukishiro reminded her "No, make it so the contract states that if I die, then YOU DIE AS WELL!!!" Lus laid out her terms as well.

  0:06 seconds remain.

  "You do realize that the radius from the explosion will kill me, right?" Yukishiro began to recite the contract "IF I DIE, THAT IS!!!!" And Lus accepted it right away "Oh, you won't." Yukishiro was beyond certain "I fucking better not." Lus began to look at the clock as the seconds were ticking, after voting "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" She begged for the answer to be right, but also unconsciously made eye contact with Daniel while wearing an extremely pitiful face, to which he fully saw "You wouldn't let me die like this, would you-----" Time ran out as her thoughts swirled.

  And thus, as the twelfth round came to an end, the ladder-board was updated.

  The mere fact that she could take another breath was more than enough to ease her mind regardless of how impervious it all seemed.

  "OH GOD!!" Lus' breaths became irregular as she puffed her chest out "WHAT?! HE DIDN'T PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE?!?!?!" Tateyana scrambled "I wasn't expecting that......." Hinagiku, who voted the same as Tateyana, was startled as well "HAHAHA I'M AHEAD OF YOU, LOVE!!!" Arkalee became overly ecstatic as she overtook Hyunda "You should be saying those words to Tatsu, not me. After all, you just gave him a fuckton of points, you fucking retarded bitch." Hyunda was exasperated "WATCH YOUR MOUTH HYUNDA, IT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS!!!" Arkalee could barely control herself every time she talked to Hyunda "No but seriously, Tatsu's points are...." Even Ikkiri had to acknowledge it "Yeah, they are massive and it's thanks to Arkalee..." Hinagiku entered the conversation "True, but... If Tatsu scores incorrectly one more time, he's just fucked." Ikkiri recalled "But that depends on how many rounds there will be..." Ikkiri added.

  As Basara was getting the newer claim, Yukishiro decided to use this time to explain a few things to Lus.

  "While you catch your breath and calm your ass down, I'll explain." Lus looked at Yukishiro briefly as her posture was collected "You better..." Lus' exhausted look was clear to her "For you to understand why Kawahara hasn't played this game before, you need to understand that Kawahara's ultimate goal wasn't your death. He, however, tried to make it work. It's as Kuzan said, Kawahara gave you the right answers only to submerge that feeling, and you wouldn't suspect it. However, he did it through various ways, which was very clever." Lus was reminded "Yeah, I already know that... Tell me how he profits from my supposed "death"." Lus insisted "Now, I have no concrete evidence about this but if I had to make a guess, Kawahara's aim was to actually see whether or not the system behind the ladder-board, can actually acknowledge the source of your death." Lus was perplexed "There's... no way?! No, no way the system would be able to identify that it was Kawahara who was behind my death then! It was me who got the wrong answers, he had nothing to do-----with......." Lus slowly began to realize "You're starting to see the picture, aren't you now?" Yukishiro laughed lowly "Reminder: he lied to you last round. Your short-lived contract with him which didn't even show up on your contracts as it immediately expired as soon as the round was done, stated that if you scored according to his answer that you had to give him half of your points and that if you died, in other words, if your answer was wrong, that he would have to bear all of your contracts." Yukishiro was thorough "There is a link. Your last action, your last contract would be with Kawahara, right before your death, the cause of your demise would be Kawahara, who deliberately lied to you. And so, I am to believe that your points, would go to Kawahara therefore. Because when Omega killed Sagasuga, all of his points went to him." Yukishiro became aroused "Omega?" Lus was clueless "Although it's not a direct kill, Kawahara wants to test whether or not he would gain something from this endeavor! However, you have lived, ergo; he failed!" Yukishiro pointed at Kawahara and laughed grandiosely.

  But Lus was still lacking the information about one thing.

  "Wait, you said that my death wasn't Kawahara's ultimate goal, which is ridiculous! If he wins all of my points, he's basically the king of the court!!" Lus exulted herself "While in theory that stands, he wants more than that. Your points aren't enough for him, because he knows that he will obtain a far wide quantity of points at the end of the round." Yukishiro revealed "What...?" Lus demanded an explanation once again "Oh dear lord heaven in-----I really have to explain everything to you, don't I?! Oh, but that's fine... You and I will be here for a while, yes..." Yukishiro giggled "So you'll tell me the answers from now on?" Lus inquisitioned "God fuck no, you imbecile!" Yukishiro rejected her approach right away "Answer this, answer that.... You think so NAIVELY!!!" Yukishiro's face closed in on Lus' "?!?!" She was taken aback momentarily as their breaths collided "It's time for you to use your brain. I can't use you if you're useless." Yukishiro retreated "I'm not useless, I have the most points, you bitch!" Lus countered "For how long I wonder? Also, that's a very bold statement considering you just threw away around 15k points on two contracts with two rats who were ready to watch your head blow off. Wow, very impressive miss Sera." Yukishiro applauded sarcastically "Those were investments. They will come in handy in the future." Lus spoke proudly "A future that was as good as uncertain at worst, you mean?" Yukishiro insulted her again "Why you..!!!!" Lus' rage ignited "As I thought, you alone, cannot do it. It's also one of the reasons why Daniel abandoned you." Yukishiro went for a more direct approach "And what the fuck do you mean by that...." Lus didn't calm herself down but wanted to listen to her anyways.

  Basara had now in his grasp, the claim.

  "All I will say is that he saw your future and knew that you would be a burden." Yukishiro was cryptic "That makes NO SENSE. If he and I were to team up, and should he give me all the answers, then I would clear the game, PERIOD!!" Lus claimed "But that's exactly why you would be a burden to him..." Yukishiro sighed "Wha?!" Lus was beyond confused and overall just annoyed at Yukishiro's underlying words "ATTENTION, I AM ANNOUNCING THIS AS THE LAST ROUND!!!" Basara's words remained imperial as always and no one failed to recognize this "I figured..." Kawahara murmured "DAMN IT, WHY DID THIS HAVE TO BE THE LAST?! NOW IT'S LITERALLY A 50/50 FOR TATSU...!!!" Arkalee fretted instantly "Since this will be the last round, not only will the correct claims be doubled, as well as the incorrect wrong claims, but in addition to that, there will a 25% point boost acquisition contract for the next two hours for those who correctly score." Basara's words made eyes widened "A 25% point acquisition boost?!?!" Hinagiku knew this was it "I NEED IT!!!!" Tateyana couldn't keep her thoughts to herself "Oh wow, that's a 100% point boost for me!!!" Ikkiri felt overly excited "Alright, let's fucking score...." Lus was also motivated and ready to climb back on "Mphahaha..." Kawahara exhibited a small laughter at the center "And, five minutes for all your worries." Basara added "Hahaha...." Kawahara's laughter rung like a death siren.

  All of them knew. This wasn't the first time something like this happened.

  Basara begun to recite the words of the final claim.

  "Ryousuke Kawahara has ties to the infamous criminal known as Matvey Almatorav. Not only that, but Ryousuke Kawahara was used for one of his experiments before the termination of one of his facilities, which were made for advanced plastic surgery." Basara finished the claim "AND THE FIVE MINUTES START NOW!!!" Basara declared loudly "Wait, who?!" Tateyana didn't recognize the name "....I've never heard of that name before...." Kanawari immediately thought "Infamous criminal but I've never heard of him..." Ikkiri confessed as she looked up "Me neither." Hinagiku was honest "Any clue, genie?" Lus taunted Yukishiro "Uh, no." Yukishiro had a serious look as she looked at Hyunda from afar "I've never heard that name before......" Kuzan's face was twisted, as he had pride in knowing several historical criminal figures and even recent ones "The name is Russian, but to go ahead and claim him to be infamous...?! No, there's no way this guy even exists." Kuzan became certain "Umm..." Yulia gulped "Hm?" Daniel noticed Yulia's frail expression "I... I know that surname..." Yulia tried to remain as silent as possible "......." Daniel leaned closer and lent her his left ear to which she obliged "Um, a person in Sakhalin has that surname... That's all I know, sorry..." Yulia looked apologetic as she retreated slightly "I see." Daniel smiled "Now, picture this, Yulia: Since you know that person, do you think that person is similar in any shape or form with anyone in this room?" Daniel made a relatively strange question.

  And Yulia then proceeded to look around the room.

  "Oh..." She paused once she pieced the clues together "No, their hair color is practically...!!" Yulia gasped.
