King's game : Purgatory 10.29 Ep 2

........

[Friday, October 29, 11:52 am]

The fourth hour test was math.

Yumeto finished solving the trigonometric problems and let out a sigh.

When he lifted his gaze, he could see the surrounding students bowing their heads. You can hear the sound of moving a sharp pencil. Yumeto moved his right hand and touched the edge of the chair he was sitting on.

――Tomoki Kitamura, who was sitting in this chair, died. Yuna said he was commit suicided, but on paper, It was written that he was killed. From people in this class...

The words on the paper just now popped into my mind.

The reddish-black letters looked like they were written with blood on something sharp. That paper...it said that punishment would be given. in addition···King's...

Yumeto muttered.

His half-open lips tremble, and pain runs deep in his left chest.

It says they'll be a king and punish us, then it will be like a king's game.

Yumeto closed his lips tightly as he swallowed the saliva that had accumulated in his mouth.

At that moment, light music rang in the classroom.

"Hey, Whose is it? I told you to put your cell phone and smartphone on silent mode!"

"Ah! Gomeen"

A female student sitting diagonally behind Yumeto, slapped herself on the her head.

"I completely forgot. I'll switch to silent mode soon."

The girl takes out the mobile phone she had put in her desk and starts operating it with her thumb.

Yumeto remembered that the girl's name was Yumi Onodera.

"Ah, email. I don't know who send this, but you don't need to send it in class..."

Looking at the screen of her mobile phone, Yumi's expression hardened with a smile on her face.

Her eyes open wide and her plump lips begin to quiver slightly.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Yumi, who was acting strangely.

Yumi moved her mouth, keeping her cheeks twitching.

"Ha.. ha... ha! It's a lie, isn't it..."

It was at that time.

There was a sound of something snapping, and Yumi's head bent at a right angle.

"Ou..ah..."

Saliva dripped from her half-open lips, and the cell phone she was holding fell onto the desk. Yumi's fingertips on the desk were rattling. Only that sound resounded in the silent classroom.

"A..."

Yumeto stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Ahead of his line of sight are Yumi's eyes lined up vertically. Eyes opened to the limit, staring into space without blinking.

Before long, Yumi's body slowly tilted and fell to the floor with a loud noise.

"Heh… hey hey hey!"

A female student's scream echoes throughout the classroom, and the students begin to make a fuss.

"Wha, what is this?"

"Yu, Yumitsu! Yumiiiiii!"

"Are you kidding me? This can't happen."

Staring at Yumi lying at their feet, Yumeto clicked his teeth.

Yumi's neck is completely broken, and some of her skin is dusty and raised. Her lips, which are half hidden by her hair, have turned bluish-purple, and she doesn't seem to be breathing.

Anyone could see that she was dead.

...Why? She just looking at the mobile phone screen with a smile and then....

"Mobile phone······"

Yumeto's gaze shifted to Yumi's mobile phone on the desk.

"No way...."

Yumeto reached into his jacket pocket and took out his smartphone. He looked at the screen and saw that he had received an email.

When he touched the screen with a trembling hand, the content of the email was displayed.

[10/29 Fri 12:00 pm.]

Text: This is the King's game that played by Akaikeyama High School 2nd grade Class A students and their homeroom teacher Kazuyuki Iwamoto.

END]

Yumeto's voice reached his throat, but he hurriedly covered his mouth with his left hand.

――That's stupid! The King's Game, That means we're infected with the Keldo virus? But how? The government should also have a program that can control it. There's no way the King's game will start.....

"Hey, Yumeto-kun."

With a pale face, Yuna pointed at Yumeto's smartphone.

"No way, Is this... a King's game?"

"..."

"Hey, is that so?"

Yuna tried to look into the screen of his smartphone. Yumeto silently pulled the smartphone to his chest and shook his head left and right.

"Yumeto...kun?"

"..."

"As expected, that's right, isn't it"

Yuna walks away from Yumeto and takes out her cell phone from her desk.

―No way! If you read the text of the King's Game...

He frantically moved his hand, but Yuna didn't notice Yumeto's movement and moved her thumb to read the message.

"..."

Yuna's hand holding the mobile phone begins to tremble. Her gaze shifts from the phone screen to Yumeto.

Yumeto points to his mouth and signals to Yuna not to speak.

Yuna held her mouth with her hand and shook her head.

When she moves her gaze, many of her classmates are looking at the screens of smartphones and mobile phones. Everyone's faces were distorted in fear as if they had seen the order mail.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a chair falling over.

In Yumeto's eyes, a shivering male student stood up from his chair. A smartphone was held in his hand.

There was a cracking sound and the male student's neck was broken.

"Aa..."

The male student collapsed on the spot with his mouth wide open.

My classmates all put their hands over their mouths.

Yumeto swallowed his screams and desperately held his breath.

--That's Nonomura-kun. Mr. Takaaki Nonomura. Did he making a sound after seeing the King's Game email? So he got punished.

"What the hell is going on!"

Iwamoto rushed over to Takaaki, who was twitching and convulsing. When he picks up Takaaki's body, Takaaki's head snaps to his back. From his open eyes, his tears streamed down his forehead.

"Hey! Someone call an ambulance! You have a cell phone, right?"

Iwamoto calls out to the classmates around him who are holding their mouth. However, everyone seemed to have read the email, and they were still standing like a bronze statue with their hands covering their mouths.

"Enough! I'll call"

Iwamoto picked up Takaaki's smartphone, which had fallen nearby. The moment he lowered his gaze to the screen, Iwamoto stopped moving. He kept his face close to the smartphone and tightly closed his open mouth.

Suddenly, the sound disappeared from the classroom. Many of my classmates covered their mouths with both hands and stiffened as if when they look at the email, the time has been stopped too.

....What should I do?

Cold sweat dripped from Yumeto's forehead. When he moves his gaze while sitting on a chair, he sees Yuna still sitting on her chair. Yuna held her cell phone tightly and rolled her eyes. Yohei, who is sitting behind her, has his lips shut tightly with a pale face.

Yumeto checked the contents of the email displayed on the screen of his smartphone. The person who made the sound and died is 'Yumi that called out, and Takaaki that knocked over the chair.'

While slowly swallowing the saliva that had accumulated in his mouth, he raised his gaze. And he could see the horrified faces of his classmates.

....That's it. This order "continues until three people are punished." Until one more person is punished...

Before I knew it, my shirt was soaked with sweat. His lower body is numb and his right leg cramps because he sits in a chair all the time. Yumeto slowly lifted his right leg off the floor.

....Calm down! Anyway, try not to make any noise. It might be bad if the sound of breathing gets louder. I have to be careful about the sound of my clothes rubbing.

Opening his teeth, Yumeto took a deep breath.

...How long should this state continue?
