==Command 3 [Tuesday, 20 October 16:35]==

<After School>

After the lessons, as Nobuki was packing up his textbooks and notes, he said to Chiemi,

"Let's go!"

"Right! I haven't gone to your place for some time now. I'm really looking forward to it."

When they got to the door, Nobuaki bowed deeply and welcomed Chiemi like a housekeeper.

"Welcome to my humble abode, princess."

"Hey! That's rude! I've been here a lot of times already. There's no need to do this anymore."

"Hey, Chiemi, long time no see! Are you coming to play today?" Nobuaki's mum asked.

"Long time no see, Ma'am. Yeah, I'm coming over to play."

"Do you want me to bring your dinner to Nobuaki's room?"

"Eh? Wouldn't that be too troublesome?"

Having heard what Nobuaki's mum had said, Chiemi rubbed her hands joyfully.

"No it wouldn't be troublesome! I will bring it up in a bit."

"Thanks, ma'am!"

The two of them talked while Nobuaki took off his shoes.

"Ah, Chiemi, it's wonderful that you can stay over tonight."

"Is it?! It's gratifying to hear you say so."

Nobuaki and Chiemi kept playing video games till dinner. After dinner, they did a bit of their homework and slipped into their sleeping bags. At that moment, both of their cell phones began to ring.

Nobuaki poked his head out of the blanket and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was midnight. He turned to look at Chiemi and his eyes met hers.

"Is it the King's message again?"

"I'm afraid so..."

"Do we still have to play? This is such a stupid game! What is it this time?!"

He crawled out of the sleeping bag and took a look at the message on his phone.

*[10/21 Wednesday 00:00
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': This is the King's Game in which everyone in your class is participating. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 3: Student Number 18 Toyoda Hideki(M) and Student Number 3 Ishii Satomi(F)—Toyoda Hideki will touch Ishii Satomi's breast.
*END]

"Is this for real?"

Nobuaki's eyes met Chiemi's again.

"Hideki is chosen again. But this time, Hideki..."

"-will be delighted, right?"

"Yeah... Although Satomi isn't beautiful, but she sure is cute, right?"

"Yes, she's cute."

Nobuaki lay on his sleeping blanket and read the message again.

"Hideki will be happy to follow the command—this must be the King's plan to make us continue playing the game!" 

"But isn't it bad for Satomi?"

Nobuaki sat up and declared.

"This is the end of the game. No more King's games tomorrow! What happened to Yuuko yesterday won't happen again."

"Yeah! I agree."

The next day, the two of them arrived at school a bit earlier than usual. When they arrived at the classroom, Hideki was already sitting on the teacher's desk as if waiting for his classmates' arrival.

When he saw them coming in, he waved to them.

"Good morning!" Hideki welcomed them with a smile; a smile that betrayed his underlying intention.

"Why did you come to school so early today?"

Hideki grinned.

"Because I'm so motivated today! The command today is for me to [touch Satomi's breast]! I didn't really want to play this game actually, but I can't disobey the King's command. So there!"

Seeing him in such high spirits, Nobuaki was startled.

"Isn't this too going too far? The King's Game already scared Yuuko to tears yesterday."

"What!? Yesterday was a nightmare for me! But tonight I'll sleep well."

Listening to his exhilarated tone, Nobuaki could not help but feel a bit sad and sighed.

"Say, when will the King's Game end?"

"When the King stops sending messages!"

"Are you nuts? Just stop playing. I thought that it was funny at first, but, when I saw Yuuko yesterday..."

"Who cares!"

"Cut the crap! What if you received a command that made you scared? What would you do then?"

"We'll see then!"

Their classmates came in one by one while they were talking.

"You're so stubborn! You breast-maniac!"

"Yeah I am. So what?"

There was no way Nobuaki could persuade him otherwise.

"When will Satomi come?"

"Oh dear. You're helpless. Satomi might as well skip the whole day."

The other classmates seemed to be looking forward to the King's Game today.

Hideki shouted in the classroom.

"The King's command is absolute!"

Speechless, Nobuaki said nothing and returned to his seat to wait for Satomi.

10 minutes passed and she had not shown up. It was already time for the morning assembly.

The teacher entered the classroom and stood before the desk, saying, "Ishii Satomi is sick today. She will be absent so that she can recuperate at home."

Hideki kicked away his chair and stood up abruptly.

"Don't play with me! She must be pretending to be sick!"

Annoyed by the outburst, the teacher sternly reprimanded him, "What are you doing?! Sit down and be quiet!"

Hideki fixed his chair, and at his wit's end, sat on it unwillingly.

"I'm sorry. Is this all right..."

After the morning assembly, Mami ran to his side and with his voice dripping with sarcasm, said, "That's too bad! You were so excited for today that you came to school early! Did Satomi escape your grasp? I think she must hate you. No girl would ever let you touch her breasts!"

"Mind your own business!"

Meanwhile, Nobuaki was whispering to Chiemi.

"Do you think Satomi pretended to be sick?"

"Definitely! She wouldn't want to be touched by that guy. Poor girl."

Nothing special happened that day.

Normally, the Ousama Game (Kings Game) is played by five to six friends. Now Nobuaki's entire class, consisting of 32 people, is in the game, which is a bit too many players.

Back home, Nobuaki went into his room and sprawled on the blankets for a while.

"Fuuu~ I'm so tired today."

Having thought of something, he quickly got up to retrieve his phone from his school bag. He quick checked for new messages and then he phoned Hideki.

"Hideki? Hello?"

A lot of noise was on the other side of the phone so he could not hear what Hideki was saying.

"What...do you...want?"

"Hey! Did you run off to play Pachinko<ref>Pachinko (パチンコ?) is a mechanical game originating in Japan and is used as both a form of recreational arcade game and much more frequently as a gambling device, filling a Japanese gambling niche comparable to that of the slot machine in Western gaming.</ref>? I can hear the sounds of shuffling tiles<ref>Tiles are dealt in Mahjong. Mahjong is a game that originated in China, commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in Korea and Japan).</ref>. Highschoolers shouldn't go play Pachinko, you idiot! I'm hanging up!"

Nobuaki turned off his phone and threw it on top of his blanket. Because he didn't receive the [obedience confirmed] message, he wanted to ask Hideki whether he had followed the command or not. He could not imagine that Hideki had already gone nuts and ignored it completely. Forget it—he thought—I don't care anymore.

After some time, he opened his eyes and stared at the clock—it was already 11:30 p.m.

"Dammit! I've slept too long! Why didn't mum wake me up?"

Midnight would arrive in 10 minutes. Would the King still send a message now? He took out his phone.

[1 Message]

"Mmm? Who sent it? The King's message should be sent at midnight at 00:00."

He opened the message to take a look.

*[10/21 Wednesday 23:55
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': 5 Minutes Left.
*END]

"What? What is 5 minutes left? Does it mean that today will end in five minutes?"

He lay on the blanket, holding his phone and staring at its screen.

Then another message came.

*[10/21 Wednesday 23:59
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': 60 Seconds Left.
*END]

Huh? This is the first time I'd seen this message, Nobuaki thought back. In the messages the King sent before, the King mentioned that [the King's command must be done within 24 hours], so would this be... a countdown timer?

He wanted to look at what was written in yesterday's message, but before he could press the button, he received another message.

*[10/21 Wednesday 23:59
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': Because the King's command was not carried out, the following people will be hung by the neck as a punishment: Student Number 18 Toyoda Hideki and Student Number 3 Ishii Satomi
*END]

"What's going on? What's this message about?! The punishment for Hideki and Satomi is to be 'hung by the neck'? What does this mean?"

Ousama Game:Volume 1 Command 2

2013-12-11T12:57:48Z

MystiKnight: Minor cleanups to prep for further editing.

==Command 2 [Tuesday, 20 October 00:00]==

Back home, Nobuaki had dinner with his parents.

Laughing at his favourite television shows, spending some time to do homework, and laughing while he read mangas, he spent his night as per usual. However, the only difference was a certain message.

*[10/20 Tuesday 00:00
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': This is the King's Game which everyone in your class is participating in. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 2: Student Number 18 Toyoda Hideki(M) and Student Number 5 Imoto Yuuko(F)—Toyoda Hideki will lick Imoto Yuuko's foot.
*END]

Just about to sleep, Nobuaki got up in a flurry when he read the message.

"Again?! But it's totally impossible for Hideki to lick Yuuko's foot."

At this very moment, Naoya phoned him. He seemed to be very excited, "Nobuaki, have you read the King's message yet?"

"Yeah, I read it! It's comforting news that the person who will do licking isn't you."

"Yeah, but this isn't why I called you. Do you really think Hideki will lick Yuuko's foot?

"Absolutely not! If it's Hideki, it's impossible," Nobuaki replied undoubtedly.

"Perhaps he would. Are you anticipating tomorrow like me?"

"Yeah. So, let's see the show tomorrow!"

"Cool!"

< The next morning >

The quarrelling sounds got louder as Nobuaki approached the classroom. He hurried in and saw a few students arguing with Hideki.

"Why do I have to lick Yuuko's gross foot!"

"But yesterday you also forced Hirofumi and Minako to kiss!"

Minako also joined the debate, "Yesterday Hirofumi and I followed the command and kissed, so you will also have to follow the command!"

Hideki could not hold back and exploded in anger. He angrily kicked away a chair, "Shut up! Hey! Hirofumi, what do you think? Do you think I will also need to follow the command and lick Yuuko's foot?"

Hirofumi showed a sign of compliance, but he was reluctant to speak. On the other side, Mami walked in front of him as if protecting him, and said, "What does this have to do with Hirofumi!"

"What about it? Tell me, Hirofumi."

"Let me answer for him! Just go and lick it!"

"I'm not asking you! Shut up!"

Mami suddenly clapped and shouted as if trying to make the class say with her, "Lick it! Lick it! Lick it!"

Half of the students in the class also followed her. Looking like he had resigned and was in a bad mood, Hideki called Yuuko to him, "I can't stand you guys. I'll lick it if you want! Yuuko, hurry up."

Hearing Hideki's loud voice, Yuuko walked to him, trembling.

"Hideki... Are you calling me?"

"This is the King's command, right? I want to lick your foot, so quickly bring it out!" Hideki said to her with a threatening tone.

"Why should I..."

"This is the King's command! Now hurry up and stretch out your foot!"

Yuuko, with trembling lips, took off her shoe and sock. Meanwhile, Hideki looked at the people around him.

"Look closely!"

He kneeled down, lifted up Yuuko's leg, and licked its lower part. Everyone who was enjoying the scene was startled. Then, Hideki stood up, looked around, and said angrily, "Is this good enough? Are you satisfied? Now stop playing the King's game today. It's over! I will never play it again!"

Hideki glared at his classmates; meanwhile, Yuuko fell on the floor and started crying. Chiemi quickly ran to her side and comforted her with a soft voice, "Yuuko, are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine..."

On the other side of the classroom, the front, Hideki started quarrelling with Mami.

"You're disgusting! I can't believe you really licked Yuuko's foot."

"Mami, you're annoying! I spoke too soon, so let me correct myself! The game will continue until you've been chosen. You have to have a taste of this humiliation."

"What nonsense!"

"Who is it? Who's the one sending all those messages?! It must be someone here, right?"

Hideki walked around the classroom and inspected each of his classmates with his eyes glaring; of course, he also glared at Nobuaki and Naoya.

"Naoya! Is it you?"

"Of course not!"

"Nobuaki! Is it you?"

"How can it be me!?"

"If someone dares to command me again, I'm going to kill them!"

Hideki angrily pushed a table away and rushed out of the classroom.

"Is Yuuko okay? She looks like she's crying."

Nobuaki rushed to Yuuko who was now being stroked lightly on the back and comforted by Chiemi.

"Are you scared? It's over now."

Nobuaki didn't feel that he was in the mood for watching comedies; he knew he had better make his position clear.

"Hey, Yuuko, are you okay?" He asked.

"She seems to have calmed down. And please don't play any more of that King's Game."

"Yeah, even Hideki suffered. Without his help, the game couldn't run successfully! Cheer up, Yuuko! The game is now over."

All of a sudden, Chiemi turned her head and asked Nobuaki, "Right! Can I stay over at your house today?"

"Why all of a sudden? Never mind, fine. Even though we haven't been together for a while?"

"Haven't we gone out for a long time already!"

Chiemi was actually Nobuaki's girlfriend.

The atmosphere of the classroom had calmed, hugely different from a moment ago. At this moment, Yuuko took out her phone to check a message that had just arrived. After a glance, she screamed sharply and threw away her phone.

Nobuaki picked up her phone and looked at the message on it.

*[10/20 Tuesday 08:19
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': Obedience Confirmed
*End]

Ousama Game:Volume 1 Command 1

2013-12-11T12:53:55Z

MystiKnight: Cleaning it up in prep for the rest of the editing.

==Command 1 [Monday, 19 October 00:00]==

A phone rings.

"Who the heck is calling me so late at night?"

Nobuaki rolled on the bed to the side of his phone. He picked it up. A message popped up on the phone.

*[10/19 Monday 00:00
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': This is the King's Game in which everyone in your class must participate. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 1: Student Number 4 Inoue Hirofumi(M) and Student Number 19 Nakao Minako(F)—the two of you will kiss
*END]

Half asleep, Nobuaki rubbed his eyes as he read the message.

"What the heck is this? Is this a prank? How stupid."

He muted his phone, threw it on top of the pile of clothes on the floor, and returned to his sleep.

The next day, Nobuaki opened the familiar door of his classroom and greeted his classmates.

"Good morning!"

His classmates was standing up and talking in the classroom. Curious, Nobuaki went to them to find out what had happened.

"Hey! What are you doing? Did something fun happen?"

Naoya, standing beside him, asked him,

"What? Didn't you get the King's Game message?"

"Mmm? Oh yeah~ ~ My sleep yesterday was interrupted by that stupid joke."

"Oh, so that means everyone received that message! Everyone thinks that it's really fun, so we're following his command."

"Fun? Are they really going to follow his command?"

Sitting on a desk beside Naoya, Hideki wavered his legs in the air.

"Look! Hirofumi and Minako sure look embarrassed! Gosh, it's only a kiss. Oh, is it their first kiss?"

Mami widened her arms to incite them.

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Hideki shaped his hands into a loudspeaker and shouted.

"The King's commands...?"

"-are absolute!"

Half of the students in the class replied in unison. Embarrassed, Hirofumi approached Hideki and poked him.

"Hideki, do you want to try it yourself? It's embarrassing!"

While on the other side, Minako crossed her arms in front of her chest and tapped the floor with her left foot, waiting impatiently.

"Oi! Why are you making a girl like me wait? You're such a wimp."

"W-What are you saying! I'm no wimp! What's so great about kissing? Fine, let's kiss."

Hirofumi seemed to have gone for broke. After listening to his response, a smile emerged from Hideki and he raised three fingers with his right hand.

"Okay, Hirofumi! Let me count for you!"

"3...2...1...Go!"

"All right!"

Hirofumi pressed his hands on Minako's shoulder and moved his face to her. Then, they kissed in front of everyone.

"Ohoh!"

"Yooo—! Yooo—!"

"Oh~Yeah! Bravo!"

Witnessing their kiss, everyone applauded.

"You're good, Hirofumi!"

Minako, with her arms still crossed over her chest, approached Hirofumi and slapped him at his surprise.

"Ouch!"

Hirofumi covered his cheeks with his hand.

"You suck!"

With that said, Minako turned away and left Hirofumi. Hirofumi walked to Hideki's side with a face filled with tears.

"Why did I have to kiss her?"

"Because this is the King's command. He said that you have to kiss Minako. We can't help it!"

"But this is really..."

"Ahah~ Fun, I say! Will we get another King's message tomorrow?!"

Hideki stood up and left the table. He glimpsed at Hirofumi and returned to his seat.

"They really kissed in front of everyone!" Nobuaki said.

"Yeah. Once Hideki starts the fire, there's no stopping him," Naoya said, nodding.

"So what will we do if we receive another message tomorrow? You may be the next one!"

"Quit the jokes—I'm not that unlucky."

"Maybe you can kiss with Hiroko, the one you secretly love?"

"That would be great!" Flushed, Naoya said blissfully.

"How can that even happen! You dummy!"

"You dare play around with me?" At that, Naoya started chasing Nobuaki around.

"Everyone return to your seats!"

As the teacher entered the classroom, the students quickly returned to their seats.

And then Nobuaki's cell phone received a message.

*[10/19 Monday 08:25
*'''From''': The King
*'''Subject''': The King's Game
*'''Body''': Obedience Confirmed
*END]

After that, the usual things happened. Attending class, eating lunch, attending class again, and playing around with schoolmates after school was not much different from a normal school day.

When everyone got back home, they had already forgotten the King's Game they played that morning.

MystiKnight:

Hello. I am a native english speaker, but I'm terrible with any other languages, ehehe. Hopefully, I can be helpful to the site and help clean up any articles with slightly-broken english, which is what I have been prone to do recently.

Feel free to pull me up on anything that I edit wrongly =D

Ousama Game:Volume 1 Command 5

MystiKnight: The things you only pick up after your original edit..

==Command 5 [Friday, 23 October 08:15]==

In one corner of the classroom, Shouta and Daisuke were having an argument.

"You must have done it with Misaki yesterday!"

"There's no way! I couldn't..."

"No way? Don't look down on me! How dare you sleep with my girl?!"

Shouta picked him up and held him against the wall.

"Misaki, come over here!"

Misaki was covering her face with her hands, trying to hide the tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry! I was terrified and scared..."

"So? Didn't I tell you not to believe in the King's Game? According to Daisuke, it was you who sent a message to him and called him out, wasn't it?"

"I...was scared."

"How dare you! We're over!"

"Please don't... please understand."

Misaki collapsed onto the floor and sobbed; but nothing could calm Shouta's rage.

"By the way, it's still Daisuke's fault! Even if Misaki asks you, you could have rejected her!"

Shouta held up his fist and slammed it into Daisuke, smashing his face into the wall and causing his nose to spurt out blood. Shouta wanted to punch him once again, but was stopped by Nobuaki.

"Stop! Stop fighting! Even if it was Daisuke's fault, you've gone too far!"

Nobuaki got hold of Shouta and forced him to let go of Daisuke.

After a while, Shouta said to the other students in the class, stretching his arms out wide,

"The King will let me give the command this time, right? That's what the message said!"

"What do you want to do?"

For an instant the classroom seemed to have frozen.

"So I'll give my command now. Daisuke will have to hang himself like Hideki and Satomi!"

Shouta shouted arrogantly. Nobaki hurried to stop him.

"Why would you say that! According to your command, Daisuke will have to die whether he follows the command or not!"

"Didn't I said before that I don't believe it? Daisuke and Misaki will understand now that they shouldn't have believed in this shitty game, won't they?"

Shouta patted Nobuaki on his shoulder  and left. Nobaki stared at his back as he left.

At that moment, many different ringtones rang throughout the classroom. The students in the classroom immediately took their phones out to check their messages.

Nobuaki, surprised, also took out his phone to see what the message was.

*[10/23 Friday 8:21
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: This is the King's Game in which everyone in your class is participating. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 5: Student Number 17 Tasaki Daisuke — Tasaki Daisuke will have to hang himself.
*END]

"What should I do now?"

Daisuke shouted crazily and ran around of the classroom.

Seeing his situation, Shouta scoffed,

"Serves you right!"

"You...!"

Nobuaki clenched his fists and rushed to Shouta.

"Stop! This will just make matters worse, won't it?"

"Yeah! The most important thing now is to think of a way to solve Daisuke's problem."

Chiemi and Naoya hurried to Nobuaki to stop him, trying to relax him.

"Chiemi, tell the teacher when he arrives that I'll be coming back to the classroom a bit late. I'm off to find Daisuke."

That being said, Nobuaki quickly ran off into the corridor to look for any signs of Daisuke.

To his disappointment, Daisuke was neither in the corridor, washroom, stairs, nor the cafeteria. After that, he had a look at the shoes cupboard and found out that Daisuke's shoes were gone.

Daisuke may have run out of the school. Nobuaki thought and changed his shoes. He continued to call out for his friend.

"Daisuke! Daisuke! Where are you?"

Nobuaki looked everywhere in the school, the playground, and even behind the school building.

At last, he found Daisuke sitting on a large rock beside a pond.

Nobuaki approached him quietly. He then gently touched his shoulder.

Shocked, Daisuke stiffened and slowly turned to face Nobuaki.

"You scared the hell out of me, Nobuaki! Why did you come for me?"

"Why did I come for you? Because I'm worried about you."

"Hey, what should I do now? Can you tell me?"

Nobuaki sat beside Daisuke and pointed to his phone with a smile.

"Don't believe in the King's Game and everything will be fine."

"Even if that happened to Hideki and Shitomi?"

"Just take it as a coincidence."

Daisuke picked up some pebbles from the ground and threw them into the pond.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to hang yourself.."

"...Sorry."

"Nobuaki, you should hurry back to class. The first lesson is going to start."

"You have to come with me."

"I want to stay here for a bit longer."

"Then I'll stay as well! We'll get back later and get scolded by the teacher together."

Nobuaki stretched his hand towards Daisuke; and at this moment,

"Ah, I've come up with a good idea! If the King's Game is real, then those who don't follow the command by midnight will get punished, right?"

"Probably..."

Nobuaki stood in front of Daisuke and spread out his arms.

"If that's the case, then the punished can be saved if there's someone looking after them by their side."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I will stay with you tonight so you don't hang yourself!"

"Right! Even if I suddenly wanted to hang myself, you'll stop me from doing so! Are you really going to stay with me tonight?"

"Yeah, leave it to me!"

Nobuaki slapped his chest  and said confidently.

"Thanks."

Daisuke finally smiled.

"This is great! Let's hurry back to the classroom."

At the classroom's door, Nobuaki knew already the lesson has started. He nervously opened the door.

"Hey! You two! Where did you go? Class had started a long time ago."

Nobuaki apologized and headed into the classroom.

"Sorry, I seem to be a bit constipated today, so I sat in the washroom for a very long time..."

"What rubbish! How could anyone stay in the washroom for so long! Watch out for hemorrhoids. Now get back to your seat!"

"I'm really sorry..."

Daisuke whispered to Nobuaki,

"We got in trouble. I'm sorry, this is all my fault."

"It's nothing really. This isn't the first time so, I'm used to it."

After he went back to his seat, his phone suddenly rang.

*[10/23 Friday 09:23
*From: Honda Chiemi
*Subject: Thank you for your hard work 
*Body: It's great that you brought Daisuke back, even though you got scolded. Oh and by the way, do you really have hemorrhoids?
*END]

Nobuaki gestured with his hands the peace sign, V, in Chiemi's direction and said, "I don't have constipation, nor do I have hemorrhoids! Stupid!"

"Do you want to stand outside the classroom?"

"Sorry..."

Chiemi smiled to Nobuaki and also gestured with her hands the peace sign, V.

"Why do you have to use the peace sign? I don't get it."

After school, Nobuaki waited for about five minutes for Daisuke at the school gate where they had agreed beforehand.

"Sorry. I'm late!"

"Don't worry! You have another person to help you."

Naoya showed his head to Daisuke, who was hiding behind Nobuaki. 

"I think you'll be more relieved if more people are around, so I volunteered! Is it all right?"

Daisuke showed an expression of extreme happiness.

"Nobuaki, Naoya. Thanks so much!"

"No problem." 

The three of them headed to Daisuke's house. It was an independent mansion in the luxurious residential area.

"I'm back!"

A big courtyard surrounded this mansion. There were Toyota, Volkswagen, and Lexus cars in the parking lot. Nobuaki was astonished at this scene.

"What is this? A super wealthy family?"

"We only have a little extra money."

"What!? A little!? This is ten times bigger than my house!"

"Okay, now come in."

When they had walked through the meticulously paved pavement and come in front of the gate, Daisuke's mother had already come out to greet them.

"You're back. Eh? Are they your friends?"

"Yes, I'm back. They are Nobuaki and Naoya! They will be staying over today." 

Nobuaki whispered to Daisuke in his ears,

"You're mum is very beautiful—at least 28 times more beautiful than mine."

"Living in a mansion, having such a beautiful mum... it's so envious!"

Nobuaki and Naoya then greeted his mum politely.

"My surname is Kanazawa! Ma'am, you sure are beautiful."

"I am Hashimoto. Sorry for bothering you."

"Nyaaa, Kanazawa-san is so sweet." 

"Oh it's nothing. I'm speaking the truth."

"Forget the formalities and come in now."

Blushing, Daisuke pushed Nobuaki and Naoya's backs with his hand and pushed them into his room.

After eating a grand dinner Daisuke's mother cooked, Nobuaki, Naoya, and Daisuke tried not to think of anything about the King's Game.

Daisuke took out a video game set and a stack of games. The three of them played enthusiastically, but Daisuke never showed an expression of sorrow.

"The last time when they didn't follow the orders we got a message five minutes before the deadline. We should receive the same message this time."

The three of them stopped playing the video games and took out their phones utterly serious. They focused on the screen of their phone and waited for the time to come.

The ticking sounds of the second hand of the clock had became loud and clear. All in a sudden, their phones rang unanimously.

*[10/23 Fridy 23:55
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: 5 Minutes Left
*End]

"W-What should I do? Nobuaki!"

"I have told you to calm down! We're here with you! Besides, didn't we put any ropes and things like that into other rooms and hide them away? You can't hang yourself without those."

After that, their phones rang again together.

*[10/23 Friday 23:58
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: 60 Seconds Left
*END]

"Come over here, Daisuke and Naoya! Let's form a circle!"

The three of them sat down, formed a circle, and put their arms above each other. Then, their phones rang for the third time.

"It should be the punishment message because you didn't carry out the command. Let me take a look!"

*[10/23 Friday 23:59
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: Because the King's command was not carried out, the following person would be hung by the neck as a punishment: Student Number 17 Tasaki Daisuke
*END]

"I won't let Daisuke be hung!"

Nobuaki shouted with an encouraging tone. Though their phones received again a message with an unknown sender, they kept still and maintained their circle that was bonded by their arms.

5 minutes passed.

10 minutes.

30 minutes.

60 minutes.

Then Naoya lifted his head at last and said,

"Is it all right now?"

Nobuaki also slowly lifted up his head.

"Looks like nothing happened."

"Then does that mean I'm saved?"

"Seems like that to me!"

Daisuke stood up, still holding firmly to Nobuaki and Naoya's hands.

"I'm saved! I'm really saved! Nobuaki, Naoya, thank you so much!"

Probably because of his release of his emotions, tears dripped from Daisuke's eyes.

"Hideki and Shitomi's death were just coincidences. The King's Game is actually fake and only a prank! That's too great, Daisuke!"

Nobuaki said. After that, he lay on the floor. The three of them were released from the terror and were now bathed in joy.

At this moment, Nobuaki's phone rang. He looked at the screen: it was Chiemi calling.

"What's the matter, Chiemi? We're celebrating."

"It seems you guys are very excited. How's Daisuke? Is he fine?"

"He's great! That's why we're so happy!"

"Then that's great! Now I can feel assured. But, have you seen the King's message yet? The next appointed one is Naoya!"

"Hoho, so is the next person Naoya?"

Chiemi changed her tone, one that carried anger,

"How can you have the mood to say this! Aren't you afraid?"

"Daisuke is safe and sound. This means that the King's game is only a prank, right? So there would be no problem with Naoya! Why scare yourself?"

"Ah, right! Then I can really be assured. Don't play too late. I'm heading off to sleep."

"Good dreams! I love Chiemi the most! Chirp!"

"You sure are gross!"

"Just say I'm gross. There's no need to add 'sure'."

Relieved by the breath-taking crisis, the three of them continued on their Wii and PS3 games, battling fiercely all the way until 3 o'clock at night.

Nobuaki, though he slept late, was woken up by the alarm clock early the next morning at 07:08. He didn't know why, but his felt body very heavy. He looked to his side to find out that Naoya was holding to him from behind while he slept. 

"Why are you holding me so tight? You're gross!" 

Nobuaki kicked Naoya off of himself.

"I want to hold to you while I sleep—"

"You're sleeping posture sure is ugly. And you're hungry for anything. Wake up now, Naoya!"

Nobuaki vibrantly flicked at Naoya's lower-half body with his finger, causing him to cover his pants, showing an extremely painful expression.

"You sounded like a duck just then. Are you awake now? Daisuke should also be awake by now."

Looking up to the bed, Nobuaki found Daisuke was not on it. He turned on the lamp and looked around.

What he saw was Daisuke hung dead on the other side of the room.

His face showed an expression of extreme pain. His neck had numerous scratching scars and his arms were long impotent and dangling loosely beside his body.

The electric wires of the game set the three of them were playing with a few hours ago were now entangled around Daisuke's neck.

"Why did this happen?! Why did this happen?! Was it because he didn't follow the King's command?"

Nobuaki kneeled on the floor, sobbing. He fiercely pounded the floor. Naoya had now also discovered the dead Daisuke.

"What? Hey, Nobuaki. Just now, not long ago, we were still playing with Daisuke..."

Naoya leaned his forehead onto Nobuaki's shoulder, crying,

"What is this for?! Why does the King's Game have to play around with people!"

The shouts of they two reverberated inside Daisuke's house. At this moment, Naoya suddenly regained his composure and said,

"Maybe we can still save him. Let's call the ambulance right away."

Naoya quickly took out his phone and dialled 119. Nobuaki loosened the electrical wires that were entangling Daisuke's neck, brought him to his bed, laid him down, and held onto his hand firmly.

"Such a cold hand, too cold. And such a sick looking face, so are his lips..." 

Looking at Daisuke who was laid on the bed, Nobuaki wanted deeply to believe he was in a nightmare.

"Sorry... We thought that we could loosen up when the time was up. If we had kept our awareness, things wouldn't have ended like this. Isn't this the reason we came to be with you?"

Nobuaki held Daisuke's corpse. His tears dripped slowly and slided across his cheeks.

Daisuke's cheeks, lips, palms, and arms were all sickly looking and without a sign of life. His eyes were firmly closed.

Hearing the noise, Daisuke's mother hurried into the room.

"Daisuke... What's the matter?"

Looking at Daisuke on his bed, Daisuke's mother seemed couldn't understand what had happened. She walked up to the bed and fondled Daisuke's face, which was emotionless and numb.

"Daisuke! Wake up!"

Daisuke's mother potently grasped Daisuke's cold hand and looked afar.

"Sorry. When we got out of bed this morning, we found him dead."

"Daisuke... wake up now."

"Last night..."

"Your classmates have already woken up."

"..."

The ambulance Naoya called had already arrived, buzzing up and down as it approached. 

"The ambulance. But it's too late. There's no use now."

Nobuaki clenched his fist potently.

Daisuke's corpse was carried into the ambulance and sent to the hospital together with Daisuke's mother.

Until the last moment Daisuke's mother still believed Daisuke was only sleeping. After all, it was impossible for her to accept reality.

The diminishing of the buzzing sounds of the ambulance leaving was as if Daisuke's life was taken away by someone forcibly.

Where should my grief overflow? Where should my anger be exerted?

"Naoya, no matter what happens, I will protect you and Chiemi!" 

Nobuaki said, still standing in his place.

"Me too. We're best friends! We'll be best friends forever!"

"But can you not hold on to me while you sleep? It's terribly gross..."

"What are you talking about—you wouldn't die if you let me hold on to you!"

Nobuaki and Naoya laughed powerlessly. They were afraid if they didn't make up some jokes to change the atmosphere, they would collapse in madness and terror.

Although they were laughing, tears flowed from their eyes. There's nothing sadder than to see a friend dying in front of you.

When the police came to inquire the events of the incident, Nobuaki simply replied,

"When I woke up this morning, I found out that he was already dead."

After all, if he had said, "He was hung dead because of the punishment of the King's Game," the police would not have believed him.

Ousama Game:Volume 1 Command 5

2013-01-10T02:39:41Z

MystiKnight: Ta-da! My first edit after formally joining the editing team. After looking at other LNs and their formatting, I think I may redo my edits on chapters 1-3.

==Command 5 [Friday, 23 October 08:15]==

In one corner of the classroom, Shouta and Daisuke were having an argument.

"You must have done it with Misaki yesterday!"

"There's no way! I couldn't..."

"No way? Don't look down on me! How dare you sleep with my girl?!"

Shouta picked him up and held him against the wall.

"Misaki, come over here!"

Misaki was covering her face with her hands, trying to hide the tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry! I was terrified and scared..."

"So? Didn't I tell you not to believe in the King's Game? According to Daisuke, it was you who sent a message to him and called him out, wasn't it?"

"I...was scared."

"How dare you! We're over!"

"Please don't... please understand."

Misaki collapsed onto the floor and sobbed; but nothing could calm Shouta's rage.

"By the way, Daisuke is still at fault! Even if Misaki asks you, you can still reject her!"

Shouta held up his fist and slammed it into Daisuke, smashing his face into the wall and causing his nose to spurt out blood. Shouta wanted to punch him once again, but was stopped by Nobuaki.

"Stop! Stop fighting! Even if it was Daisuke's fault, you've gone too far!"

Nobuaki got hold of Shouta and forced him to let go of Daisuke.

After a while, Shouta said to the other students in the class, stretching his arms out wide,

"The King will let me give the command this time, right? That's what the message said!"

"What do you want to do?"

For an instant the classroom seemed to have frozen.

"So I'll give me command now. Daisuke will have to hang himself like Hideki and Satomi!"

Shouta shouted arrogantly. Nobaki hurried to stop him.

"Why would you say that! According to your command, Daisuke will have to die whether he follows the command or not!"

"Didn't I said before that I don't believe it? Daisuke and Misaki will understand now that they shouldn't have believed in this shitty game, won't they?"

Shouta patted Nobuaki on his shoulder  and left. Nobaki stared at his back as he left.

At that moment, many different ringtones rang throughout the classroom. The students in the classroom immediately took their phones out to check their messages.

Nobuaki, surprised, also took out his phone to see what the message was.

*[10/23 Friday 8:21
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: This is the King's Game in which everyone in your class is participating. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 5: Student Number 17 Tasaki Daisuke — Tasaki Daisuke will have to hang himself.
*END]

"What should I do now?"

Daisuke shouted crazily and ran around of the classroom.

Seeing his situation, Shouta scoffed,

"Serves you right!"

"You...!"

Nobuaki clenched his fists and rushed to Shouta.

"Stop! This will just make matters worse, won't it?"

"Yeah! The most important thing now is to think of a way to solve Daisuke's problem."

Chiemi and Naoya hurried to Nobuaki to stop him, trying to relax him.

"Chiemi, tell the teacher when he arrives that I'll be coming back to the classroom a bit late. I'm off to find Daisuke."

That being said, Nobuaki quickly ran off into the corridor to look for any signs of Daisuke.

To his disappointment, Daisuke was neither in the corridor, washroom, stairs, nor the cafeteria. After that, he had a look at the shoes cupboard and found out that Daisuke's shoes were gone.

Daisuke may have run out of the school. Nobuaki thought and changed his shoes. He continued to call out for his friend.

"Daisuke! Daisuke! Where are you?"

Nobuaki looked everywhere in the school, the playground, and even behind the school building.

At last, he found Daisuke sitting on a large rock beside a pond.

Nobuaki approached him quietly. He then gently touched his shoulder.

Shocked, Daisuke stiffened and slowly turned to face Nobuaki.

"You scared the hell out of me, Nobuaki! Why did you come for me?"

"Why did I come for you? Because I'm worried about you."

"Hey, what should I do now? Can you tell me?"

Nobuaki sat beside Daisuke and pointed to his phone with a smile.

"Don't believe in the King's Game and everything will be fine."

"Even if that happened to Hideki and Shitomi?"

"Just take it as a coincidence."

Daisuke picked up some pebbles from the ground and threw them into the pond.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to hang yourself.."

"...Sorry."

"Nobuaki, you should hurry back to class. The first lesson is going to start."

"You have to come with me."

"I want to stay here for a bit longer."

"Then I'll stay as well! We'll get back later and get scolded by the teacher together."

Nobuaki stretched his hand towards Daisuke; and at this moment,

"Ah, I've come up with a good idea! If the King's Game is real, then those who don't follow the command by midnight will get punished, right?"

"Probably..."

Nobuaki stood in front of Daisuke and spread out his arms.

"If that's the case, then the punished can be saved if there's someone looking after them by their side."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I will stay with you tonight so you don't hang yourself!"

"Right! Even if I suddenly wanted to hang myself, you'll stop me from doing so! Are you really going to stay with me tonight?"

"Yeah, leave it to me!"

Nobuaki slapped his chest  and said confidently.

"Thanks."

Daisuke finally smiled.

"This is great! Let's hurry back to the classroom."

At the classroom's door, Nobuaki knew already the lesson has started. He nervously opened the door.

"Hey! You two! Where did you go? Class had started a long time ago."

Nobuaki apologized and headed into the classroom.

"Sorry, I seem to be a bit constipated today, so I sat in the washroom for a very long time..."

"What rubbish! How could anyone stay in the washroom for so long! Watch out for hemorrhoids. Now get back to your seat!"

"I'm really sorry..."

Daisuke whispered to Nobuaki,

"We got in trouble. I'm sorry, this is all my fault."

"It's nothing really. This isn't the first time so, I'm used to it."

After he went back to his seat, his phone suddenly rang.

*[10/23 Friday 09:23
*From: Honda Chiemi
*Subject: Thank you for your hard work 
*Body: It's great that you brought Daisuke back, even though you got scolded. Oh and by the way, do you really have hemorrhoids?
*END]

Nobuaki gestured with his hands the peace sign, V, in Chiemi's direction and said, "I don't have constipation, nor do I have hemorrhoids! Stupid!"

"Do you want to stand outside the classroom?"

"Sorry..."

Chiemi smiled to Nobuaki and also gestured with her hands the peace sign, V.

"Why do you have to use the peace sign? I don't get it."

After school, Nobuaki waited for about five minutes for Daisuke at the school gate where they had agreed beforehand.

"Sorry. I'm late!"

"Don't worry! You have another person to help you."

Naoya showed his head to Daisuke, who was hiding behind Nobuaki. 

"I think you'll be more relieved if more people are around, so I volunteered! Is it all right?"

Daisuke showed an expression of extreme happiness.

"Nobuaki, Naoya. Thanks so much!"

"No problem." 

The three of them headed to Daisuke's house. It was an independent mansion in the luxurious residential area.

"I'm back!"

A big courtyard surrounded this mansion. There were Toyota, Volkswagen, and Lexus cars in the parking lot. Nobuaki was astonished at this scene.

"What is this? A super wealthy family?"

"We only have a little extra money."

"What!? A little!? This is ten times bigger than my house!"

"Okay, now come in."

When they had walked through the meticulously paved pavement and come in front of the gate, Daisuke's mother had already come out to greet them.

"You're back. Eh? Are they your friends?"

"Yes, I'm back. They are Nobuaki and Naoya! They will be staying over today." 

Nobuaki whispered to Daisuke in his ears,

"You're mum is very beautiful—at least 28 times more beautiful than mine."

"Living in a mansion, having such a beautiful mum... it's so envious!"

Nobuaki and Naoya then greeted his mum politely.

"My surname is Kanazawa! Ma'am, you sure are beautiful."

"I am Hashimoto. Sorry for bothering you."

"Nyaaa, Kanazawa-san is so sweet." 

"Oh it's nothing. I'm speaking the truth."

"Forget the formalities and come in now."

Blushing, Daisuke pushed Nobuaki and Naoya's backs with his hand and pushed them into his room.

After eating a grand dinner Daisuke's mother cooked, Nobuaki, Naoya, and Daisuke tried not to think of anything about the King's Game.

Daisuke took out a video game set and a stack of games. The three of them played enthusiastically, but Daisuke never showed an expression of sorrow.

"Come over here, Daisuke and Naoya! Let's form a circle!"

Nobuaki shouted with an encouraging tone. Though their phones received again a message with an unknown sender, they kept still and maintained their circle that was bonded by their arms.

5 minutes passed.

10 minutes.

30 minutes.

60 minutes.

Then Naoya lifted his head at last and said,

"Is it all right now?"

Nobuaki also slowly lifted up his head.

"Looks like nothing happened."

"Then does that mean I'm saved?"

"Seems like that to me!"

Daisuke stood up, still holding firmly to Nobuaki and Naoya's hands.

"I'm saved! I'm really saved! Nobuaki, Naoya, thank you so much!"

Probably because of his release of his emotions, tears dripped from Daisuke's eyes.

"Hideki and Shitomi's death were just coincidences. The King's Game is actually fake and only a prank! That's too great, Daisuke!"

"Then that's great! Now I can feel assured. But, have you seen the King's message yet? The next appointed one is Naoya!"

"Hoho, so is the next person Naoya?"

Chiemi changed her tone, one that carried anger,

"How can you have the mood to say this! Aren't you afraid?"

"Daisuke is safe and sound. This means that the King's game is only a prank, right? So there would be no problem with Naoya! Why scare yourself?"

"Ah, right! Then I can really be assured. Don't play too late. I'm heading off to sleep."

"Good dreams! I love Chiemi the most! Chirp!"

"You sure are gross!"

"Just say I'm gross. There's no need to add 'sure'."

Relieved by the breath-taking crisis, the three of them continued on their Wii and PS3 games, battling fiercely all the way until 3 o'clock at night.

"Daisuke... wake up now."

"Last night..."

"Your classmates have already woken up."

"..."

The ambulance Naoya called had already arrived, buzzing up and down as it approached. 

"The ambulance. But it's too late. There's no use now."

Nobuaki clenched his fist potently.

Daisuke's corpse was carried into the ambulance and sent to the hospital together with Daisuke's mother.

Until the last moment Daisuke's mother still believed Daisuke was only sleeping. After all, it was impossible for her to accept reality.

The diminishing of the buzzing sounds of the ambulance leaving was as if Daisuke's life was taken away by someone forcibly.

Where should my grief overflow? Where should my anger be exerted?

Although they were laughing, tears flowed from their eyes. There's nothing sadder than to see a friend dying in front of you.

When the police came to inquire the events of the incident, Nobuaki simply replied,

"When I woke up this morning, I found out that he was already dead."

After all, if he had said, "He was hung dead because of the punishment of the King's Game," the police would not have believed him.

==Command 3 [Tuesday, 20 October 16:35]==

<After School>

After the lessons, as Nobuki was packing up his textbooks and notes, said to Chiemi,

"Let's go!"

"Right! I haven't gone to your place for some time now. I'm really looking forward to it."

When they got to the door, Nobuaki bowed deeply and welcomed Chiemi like a housekeeper.

"Welcome to my humble abode, princess."

"Hey! Thats rude! I've been here many times already. There's no need to do this anymore."

"Hey, Chiemi, long time no see! Are you coming to play today?" Nobuaki's mum asked.

"Long time no see, Ma'am. Yeah, I'm coming over to play."

"Do you want me to bring your dinner to Nobuaki's room?"

"Huh! Wouldn't that be too troublesome?"

Having heard what Nobuaki's mum had said, Chiemi rubbed her hands joyfully.

"No it wouldn't be troublesome! I will bring it up in a bit."

"Thanks, ma'am!"

The two of them talked while Nobuaki took off his shoes.

"Ah, Chiemi, it's wonderful that you can stay over tonight."

"Is it?! It's gratifying to hear you say so."

Nobuaki and Chiemi kept playing video games till dinner. After dinner, they did a bit of their homework and slipped into their sleeping bags. At that moment, both of their cell phones rang.

Nobuaki poked his head out of the blanket and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was midnight. He turned to look at Chiemi and his eyes met hers.

"Is it the King's message again?"

"I'm afraid so..."

"Do we still have to play? This is such a stupid game! What is it this time?!"

He crawled out of the sleeping bag and took a look at the message on his phone.

*＊Command 3: Student Number 18 Toyoda Hideki(m) and Student Number 3 Ishii Satomi(f)—Toyoda Hideki will touch Ishii Satomi's breast.
*END]

"Is this for real..."

Nobuaki's eyes met Chiemi's again.

"Hideki is chosen again. But this time, Hideki..."

"-will be delighted, right?"

"Yeah... Although Satomi isn't beautiful, but she sure is cute, right?"

"Yes, she's cute."

Nobuaki lay on his sleeping blanket and read the message again.

"Hideki will be happy to follow the command—this must be the King's plan to make us continue playing the game!" 

"But isn't it bad for Satomi?"

Nobuaki sat up and declared.

"This is the end of the game. No more King's games tomorrow! What happened to Yuuko yesterday won't happen again."

"Yeah! I agree."

The next day, the two of them arrived at school a bit earlier than usual. When they arrived at the classroom, Hideki was already sitting on the teacher's desk as if waiting for his classmates' arrival.

When he saw them coming in, he waved to them.

"Good morning!" Hideki welcomed them with a smile; a smile that betrayed his underlying intention.

"Why did you come to school so early today?"

Hideki grinned.

"Because I'm so motivated today! The command today is for me to [touch Satomi's breast]! I didn't really want to play this game actually, but I can't disobey the King's command. So there!"

Seeing him in such high spirits, Nobuaki was startled.

"Isn't this too going too far? The King's game had already scared Yuuko to tears yesterday."

"What!? Yesterday was a nightmare for me! But tonight I'll sleep well."

Listening to his exhilarated tone, Nobuaki, who could not help but feel sad, sighed.

"Say, when will the King's Game end?"

"Until the King stops sending messages!"

"Are you nuts? Stop playing. I think it it was funny at first, but, when I saw Yuuko yesterday..."

"Who cares!"

"Cut the crap! What if you received a command that made you scared? What would you do then?"

"We'll see then!"

Their classmates came in one by one while they were talking.

"You're so stubborn! You breast-maniac!"

"Yeah I am. So what?"

There was no way Nobuaki could persuade him otherwise.

"When will Satomi come?"

"Oh dear. You're helpless. Satomi might as well skip the whole day."

The other classmates seemed to be looking forward to the King's Game today.

Hideki shouted in the classroom.

"The King's command is absolute!"

Speechless, Nobuaki said nothing and returned to his seat to wait for Satomi.

10 minutes passed and she had not shown up. It was already time for the morning assembly.

The teacher entered the classroom and stood before the desk, saying, "Ishii Satomi is sick today, so she will be absent so that she can recuperate at home."

Hideki kicked away his chair and stood up abruptly.

"Don't play with me! She must be pretending to be sick!"

Annoyed by the outburst, the teacher sternly reprimanded him, "What are you doing?! Sit down and be quiet!"

Hideki fixed his chair, and at his wit's end, sat on it unwillingly.

"I'm sorry. Is this all right..."

After the morning assembly, Mami ran to his side and with his voice dripping with sarcasm, said, "That's too bad! You were so excited for today that you came to school early! Did Satomi escape your grasp? I think she must hate you. No girl would ever let you touch her breasts!"

"Mind your own business!"

Meanwhile, Nobuaki was whispering to Chiemi.

"Do you think Satomi pretended to be sick?"

"Definitely! She wouldn't want to be touched by that guy. Poor girl."

Nothing special happened that day.

Normally, the Ousama Game (Kings Game) is played by five to six friends. Now Nobuaki's entire class, consisting of 32 people, is in the game, which is a bit too many players.

Back home, Nobuaki went into his room and sprawled on the blankets for a while.

"Fuuu~ I'm so tired today."

Having thought of something, he quickly got up, took his phone from his schoolbag, and checked for new messages. After that, he phoned Hideki.

"Hideki? Hello?"

A lot of noise was on the other side of the phone so he could not hear what Hideki was saying.

"What...do you...want?"

"Hey! Did you run off to play Pachinko<ref>Pachinko (パチンコ?) is a mechanical game originating in Japan and is used as both a form of recreational arcade game and much more frequently as a gambling device, filling a Japanese gambling niche comparable to that of the slot machine in Western gaming.</ref>? I can hear the sounds of shuffling tiles<ref>Tiles are dealt in Mahjong. Mahjong is a game that originated in China, commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in Korea and Japan).</ref>. Highschoolers shouldn't go play Pachinko! You idiot! I'm hanging up!"

Nobuaki turned off his phone and threw it on top of his blanket. Because he didn't receive the [obedience confirmed] message, he wanted to ask Hideki whether he had followed the command or not. He could not imagine that Hideki had already gone nuts and ignored it completely. Forget it—he thought—I don't care anymore.

After some time, he opened his eyes and stared at the clock—it was already 11:30 p.m.

"Dammit! I've slept too long! Why didn't mum wake me up?"

Midnight would arrive in 10 minutes. Would the King still send a message now? He took out his phone.

[1 Message]

"Mmm? Who sent it? The King's message should be sent at midnight at 00:00."

He opened the message to take a look.

*[10/21 Wednesday 23:55
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: 5 Minutes Left.
*END]

"What? What is 5 minutes left? Does it mean that today will end in five minutes?"

He lay on the blanket, holding his phone and staring at its screen.

Then another message came.

*[10/21 Wednesday 23:58
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: 60 Seconds Left.
*END]

Huh? This is the first time I'd seen this message, Nobuaki thought back. In the messages the King sent before, the King mentioned that [the King's command must be done within 24 hours], so would this be... a countdown timer?

He wanted to look at what was written in yesterday's message, but before he could press the button, he received another message.

*[10/21 Wednesday 23:59
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: Because the King's command was not carried out, the following persons would be hung by the neck as a punishment: Student Number 18 Toyoda Hideki and Student Number 3 Ishii Satomi
*END]

"What's going on? What's this message about?! The punishment of Hideki and Satomi is to be 'hung by the neck'? What does this mean?"

Ousama Game:Volume 1 Command 2

2012-12-23T03:52:13Z

MystiKnight: Again, nothing major.

==Command 2 [Tuesday, 20 October 00:00]==

Back home, Nobuaki had dinner with his parents.

Laughing at his favourite television shows, spending some time to do homework, and laughing while he read mangas, he spent his night as per usual, but the only difference was...

*[10/20 Tuesday 00:00
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: This is the King's Game which everyone in your class is participating in. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 2: Student Number 18 Toyoda Hideki(m) and Student Number 5 Imoto Yuuko(f)—Toyoda Hideki will lick Imoto Yuuko's foot.
*END]

Just about to sleep, Nobuaki got up in a flurry when he read the message.

"Again?! But it's totally impossible for Hideki to lick Yuuko's foot."

At this very moment, Naoya phoned him. He seemed to be very excited, "Nobuaki, have you read the King's message yet?"

"Yeah, I read it! It's comforting news that the person who will do licking isn't you."

"Yeah...But this isn't why I called you. Do you really think Hideki will lick Yuuko's foot?

"Absolutely not! If it's Hideki, it's impossible," Nobuaki replied undoubtedly.

"Perhaps he would. Are you anticipating tomorrow like me?"

"Yeah. So, let's see the show tomorrow!"

"Cool!"

< The next morning >

The quarrelling sounds got louder as Nobuaki approached the classroom. He hurried in and saw a few students arguing with Hideki.

"Why do I have to lick Yuuko's gross foot!"

"But yesterday you also forced Hirofumi and Minako to kiss!"

Minako also joined the debate, "Yesterday Hirofumi and I followed the command and kissed, so you will also have to follow the command!"

Hideki could not hold back and exploded in anger. He angrily kicked away a chair, "Shut up! Hey! Hirofumi, what do you think? Do you think I will also need to follow the command and lick Yuuko's foot?"

Hirofumi showed a sign of compliance, but he was reluctant to speak. On the other side, Mami walked in front of him as if protecting him, and said, "What does this have to do with Hirofumi!"

"What about it? Tell me, Hirofumi."

"Let me answer for him! Just go and lick it!"

"I'm not asking you! Shut up!"

Mami suddenly clapped and shouted as if trying to make the class say with her, "Lick it! Lick it! Lick it!"

Half of the students in the class also followed her. Looking like he had resigned and was in a bad mood, Hideki called Yuuko to him, "I can't stand you guys. I'll lick it if you want! Yuuko, hurry up."

Hearing Hideki's loud voice, Yuuko walked to him, trembling.

"Hideki... Are you calling me?"

"This is the King's command, right? I want to lick your foot, so quickly bring it out!" Hideki said to her with a threatening tone.

"Why should I..."

"This is the King's command! Now hurry up and stretch out your foot!"

Yuuko, with trembling lips, took off her shoe and sock. Meanwhile, Hideki looked at the people around him.

"Look closely!"

He kneeled down, lifted up Yuuko's leg, and licked its lower part. Everyone who was enjoying the scene was startled. Then, Hideki stood up, looked around, and said angrily, "Is this good enough? Are you satisfied? Now stop playing the King's game today. It's over! I will never play it again!"

Hideki glared at his classmates; meanwhile, Yuuko fell on the floor and started crying. Chiemi quickly ran to her side and comforted her with a soft voice, "Yuuko, are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine..."

On the other side of the classroom, the front, Hideki started quarrelling with Mami.

"You're disgusting! I can't believe you really licked Yuuko's foot."

"Mami, you're annoying! I spoke too soon, so let me correct myself! The game will continue until you've been chosen. You have to have a taste of this humiliation."

"What nonsense!"

"Who is it? Who's the one sending all those messages?! It must be someone here, right?"

Hideki walked around the classroom and inspected each of his classmates with his eyes glaring; of course, he also glared at Nobuaki and Naoya.

"Naoya! Is it you?"

"Of course not!"

"Nobuaki! Is it you?"

"How can it be me!?"

"If someone dares to command me again, I'm going to kill them!"

Hideki angrily pushed a table away and rushed out of the classroom.

"Is Yuuko okay? She looks like she's crying."

Nobuaki rushed to Yuuko who was now being stroked lightly on the back and comforted by Chiemi.

"Are you scared? It's over now."

Nobuaki didn't feel that he was in the mood for watching comedies; he knew he had better make his position clear.

"Hey, Yuuko, are you okay?" He asked.

"She seems to have calmed down. And please don't play any more of that King's Game."

"Yeah, even Hideki suffered. Without his help, the game couldn't run successfully! Cheer up, Yuuko! The game is now over."

All of a sudden, Chiemi turned her head and asked Nobuaki, "Right! Can I stay over at your house today?"

"Why so sudden? Okay, fine. We haven't been together for a while!"

"We haven't gone out for a long time already!"

Chiemi was actually Nobuaki's girlfriend.

The atmosphere of the classroom had calmed, hugely different from a moment ago. At this moment, Yuuko took out her phone to check a message that had just arrived. After a glance, she screamed sharply "Waa!" and threw away her phone.

Nobuaki picked up her phone and looked at the message on it.

*[10/20 Tuesday 08:19

Ousama Game:Volume 1 Command 1

2012-12-23T03:46:31Z

MystiKnight: Small edits, little tense fixes.

==Command 1 [Monday, 19 October 00:00]==

A phone rings.

"Who the heck is calling me so late at night..."

Nobuaki rolled on the bed to the side of his phone. He picked it up. A message popped up on the phone.

*[10/19 Monday 00:00
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: This is the King's Game in which everyone in your class must participate. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 1: Student Number 4 Inoue Hirofumi(m) and Student Number 19 Nakao Minako(f)—the two of you will kiss
*END]

Half asleep, Nobuaki rubbed his eyes as he read the message.

"What the heck is this? Is this a prank? How stupid."

He muted his phone, threw it on top of the pile of clothes on the floor, and returned to his sleep.

The next day, Nobuaki opened the familiar door of a classroom and greeted his classmates.

"Good morning!"

His classmates was standing up and talking in the classroom. Curious, Nobuaki went to them to find out what had happened.

"Hey! What are you doing? Did something fun happen?"

Naoya, standing beside him, asked him,

"What? Didn't you get the King's Game message?"

"Mmm? Oh yeah~ ~ My sleep yesterday was interrupted by that stupid joke."

"Oh, so that means everyone received that message! Everyone thinks that it's really fun, so we're following his command."

"Fun? Are they really going to follow his command?"

Sitting on a desk beside Naoya, Hideki wavered his legs in the air.

"Look! Hirofumi and Minako sure look embarrassed! Gosh, it's only a kiss. Oh, is it their first kiss?"

Mami widened her arms to incite them.

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Hideki shaped his hands into a loudspeaker and shouted.

"The King's commands...?"

"-are absolute!"

Half of the students in the class replied in unison. Embarrassed, Hirofumi approached Hideki and poked him.

"Hideki, do you want to try it yourself? It's embarrassing!"

While on the other side, Minako crossed her arms in front of her chest and tapped the floor with her left foot, waiting impatiently.

"Oi! Why are you making a girl like me wait? You're such a wimp."

"W-What are you saying! I'm no wimp! What's so great about kissing? Fine, let's kiss."

Hirofumi seemed to have gone for broke. After listening to his response, a smile emerged from Hideki and he raised three fingers with his right hand.

"Okay, Hirofumi! Let me count for you!"

"3...2...1...Go!"

"All right!"

Hirofumi pressed his hands on Minako's shoulder and moved his face to her. Then, they kissed in front of everyone.

"Ohoh!"

"Yooo—! Yooo—!"

"Oh~Yeah! Bravo!"

Witnessing their kiss, everyone applauded.

"You're good, Hirofumi!"

Minako, with her arms still crossed over her chest, approached Hirofumi and slapped him at his surprise.

"Ouch!"

Hirofumi covered his cheeks with his hand.

"You suck!"

With that said, Minako turned away and left Hirofumi. Hirofumi walked to Hideki's side with a face filled with tears.

"Why must I kiss with her?"

"Because this is the King's command. He said that you have to kiss Minako. We can't help it!"

"But this is really..."

"Ahah~ Fun, I say! Will we get another King's message tomorrow?!"

Hideki stood up and left the table. He glimpsed at Hirofumi and returned to his seat.

"They really kissed in front of everyone!" Nobuaki said.

"Yeah...Once Hideki starts the fire, there's no stopping him," Naoya said, nodding.

"So what will we do if we receive another message tomorrow? You may be the next one!"

"Quit the jokes—I'm not that unlucky."

"Maybe you can kiss with Hiroko, the one you secretly love?"

"That would be great!" Flushed, Naoya said blissfully.

"How can that even happen! You dummy!"

"You dare play around with me!" At that, Naoya started chasing Nobuaki around.

"Everyone return to your seats!"

As the teacher entered the classroom, the students quickly returned to their seats.

And then Nobuaki's cell phone received a message.

*[10/19 Monday 08:25
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: Obedience Confirmed
*END]

After that, what happened: attending class, eating lunch, attending class again, and playing around with schoolmates after school was not much different from a normal school day.

When everyone got back home, they had already forgotten the King's Game they played that morning.

Questions? Advice? Ask here!!

== I'd like to help! ==

I'm not sure what it is about this series, but I'm already loving it. Although, I do have one small problem. The end product is, well, a little hard to read, to say the least. The vocabulary is quite out there, a lot of the words felt too big, and too unnecessary. The usual tense errors were there (Mostly [Held] - [Hold]), and there were some sentences where things just.. didn't make much sense.

I just did the massive clean-up of the Volume 1 Chapter 4; and I was thinking, this doesn't look too hard. Maybe I could do this for the rest of the series?

I'm quite new to this, but I have a great understanding of English (Well, it is my native language) and plenty of time on my hands now that I'm on holidays, and if it goes well, I could fit this in to my regular schedule and do this all year.

Anyway, tl;dr, I want to help with Editing/Proofreading, are there any open spots?

MystiKnight: Oh, god, I really had my way with this page. After reading through this chapter, I just had to go and fix it up. Now, I didn't have the translated copy of the story, so I apologize if I had completely messed up anything.

==Command 4 [Thursday, 22 October 00:00]==

*＊Command 4: Student Number 17 Tasaki Daisuke(m) and Student Number 20 Nakajima Misaki(f) —The two of you will have sex.
*END]

Nobuaki sighed deeply.

"For them to have sex...this is too much! They would never do that!"

At that moment, he received a call from Chiemi.

"What do you think?" Nobuaki asked casually. 

Chiemi's voice was panicky.

"What do I think of it?! What were those 4 messages about just then? Hideki and Satomi will be hanged as their punishment? And the next command is for Daisuke and Misaki to have sex! Misaki is Shouta's girlfriend!! how can this happen? The person who made this game has gone too far!"

"Even if you ask me, I have no idea about what to do. This command can't be followed! If you're really worried about Hideki and Satomi, why not phone them? I'll phone Hideki, and you'll phone Satomi."

"Okay!"

With that said, Nobuaki ended the call and phoned Hideki; however, he could only hear the endless ring tones.

"What's wrong with Hideki?! Is he still playing Pachinko? ...Or maybe he just turned off his phone?"

He ended the call and phoned Chiemi next. "Did Satomi answer the phone?"

"No, she didn't..."

"Is that so..."

Listening to Chiemi's worried voice, Nobuaki told her, laughing, "Forget this stupid King's message. You don't need to worry."

"Really? But..."

"They won't actually follow the commands and go hang themselves, right? Get some sleep now, and we'll see what happens at school tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..."

"Just wait till tomorrow, and get some sleep today."

"Okay... Good night."

Knowing that Chiemi was worried, Nobuaki tried to calm her by laughing. However, he felt uneasy. He phoned Hideki again to allivate his uneasiness, but there was no answer. As for Satomi, he didn't have her phone number so he couldn't phone her.

"I guess I'll just wait for tomorrow, then."

Giving up, he went to sleep.

<The Next Morning>

The students in the classroom were buzzing about the King's Game. Among them, Mami and Misaki were talking enthusiastically.

"Misaki, have you read the message this time? You have to h-have sex!", Mami clapped, laughing hard.

"I read it! When I saw my name, I was a bit curious about what command it would be, but when I saw it, I was shocked that I have to have sex!"

"Even I wouldn't say that having sex is an easy thing. Besides, you have a boyfriend already."

"If I really have sex, Shouta would kill me! If it was another command, maybe I would accept it."

"Misaki, maybe you actually like these games?" The two girls laughed and clapped.

"What are you saying?! Misaki, you've gone further then me! You once hung out with a handsome boy and rented a room, didn't you?"

"Ayahhhhh! How did you know?"

"It's a small world."

Misaki slapped Mami on her back, and their laughter filled the classroom. Nobuaki ran to the two, who were laughing and joking, and said, "Mami, do you know Hideki? Did you contact him last night or this morning?"

Mami replied, laughing, "Yeah! Around 10, he was playing Pachinko and won a bunch. He was even showing off in front of me."

"10? What happened after that?"

"Nothing."

"Really... I tried to call him after 12, but he didn't answer, and he never called me back."

"So?" Mami's tone was filled with impatience.

"Don't you worry about him? Hideki and Satomi were punished and [hung by the neck]—didn't you receive this message? Will that person...for example, do something bad to them?"

"Ayhaaa~ ~ I don't care! I'm more concerned of the King's command for Daisuke and Misaki to have sex."

The only thing in her brain was to have sex.

"Okay...Thanks."

Nobuaki returned to his seat.

In the classroom now, the excited and curious students formed circles around Daisuke and Misaki. Didn't anyone notice Hideki and Satomi haven't yet arrived to school? Nobuaki thought.

"Hey, Chiemi, haven't Hideki and Satomi come in yet?"

"Not yet. Satomi didn't call me back too."

"It's almost time for the morning assembly..."

After a short while the teacher came in the classroom, bringing along with him a strange atmosphere. At the end, Hideki and Satomi didn't show up. The students returned to their seats one by one. When they were done, the teacher spoke in a serious tone, "I have some bad news. Toyoda Hideki and Ishii Satomi passed away last night. Their guardians notified the school this morning."

His words stirred up a commotion in the classroom. Nobuaki stood up from his seat and asked, "Sir, about the death of Hideki and Satomi... Were they hanged?"

For an instant the teacher's breath was taken away.

"That's right...How did you know?"

"Err..."

"Their parents suspect their children were bullied in school, but we teachers have assured them that there was no bullying whatsoever."

"Hideki isn't someone that would suicide because he's bullied! He isn't!" Nobuaki roared promptly. Chiemi, on the other hand, covered her face with her hands and cried.

"Yeah! There was also no one bullying Satomi..."

The teacher tried to calm the students down, "I thought so too, so please don't blame yourselves!"

Some in the classroom cried painfully; some others lowered their heads; some others were restless and you could see the uneasiness on their faces. At this blank moment, someone shouted, "Does this have something to do with the command of the King's Game yesterday?"

The classroom filled with whispering sounds once again.

"What is that? What's the King's Game about?" asked their teacher. He obviously knew nothing about the King's Game.

Nobuaki explained to the teacher the things that happened every day in the class.

Everyone in the class would receive a message at midnight. The message will contain a command for a few classmates in the class. Hideki and Satomi did not follow the command, so they had received punishments. Nobuaki reported to the teacher his thoughts.

"How can anything like that happen on earth! Would you even believe in such a stupid message? I know it's hard for you to believe this, but please don't get too involved in these matters. Just continue to focus on your studies. The morning assembly for today ends here." Wanting to quickly drop the subject, their teacher ended the assembly.

"Wait, Sir! How can we focus our studies during something like this!?" A student called to the teacher, but he had already left.

"How can he act like this?! Hideki and Satomi are already dead! They're our classmates! Is focusing on our studies really more important than our friends?!"

Nobuaki shouted to the empty teacher's desk. He fixed his eyes on Hideki and Satomi's seats—just yesterday the owners of these seats were sitting here as usual.

After the teacher left the classroom, the students gathered swiftly and started their discussion.

"Anyone know why they hung themselves?"

"Don't tell me that if we don't follow the commands, we're going to die!"

"How could this happen?"

"But they..."

Nobuaki interrupted Mami and Minako's conversation.

"Is the game that important?! You guys should at least care about Hideki and Satomi..."

Misaki then charged in with an ashen look, "Hey, if the King's Game is for real, then, if I don't have sex with Daisuke, would I become like them?"

Nobuaki could not answer her. He wanted to tell her 'Just ignore that stupid command.', but Hideki and Misaki's deaths were facts.

Suddenly, Shouta shouted angrily, "Misaki! Please don't believe in this! This must be a coincidence. If you follow that stupid command, I won't forgive you! I'll definitely break up with you!"

Misaki replied with a shivering voice, "But I'm scared... I don't want to die like them..."

"I won't believe in something like that! Daisuke, come over here!"

Daisuke approached him timidly.

"...So?"

Shouta grabbed Daisuke firmly by the collar and lifted his body up.

"If you follow the King's command and have sex with Misaki, I'll kill you!"

Daisuke turned his face away from Shouta, then said timidly, "I understand..."

"You hear it, Misaki? This goes the same for you!"

"But..."

Nobuaki, who didn't want this to go any further, quickly went to stop them. "Leave it, Shouta. Calm down, they haven't done anything wrong yet."

"Stay out of my business, you annoying little.."

Shouta loosened his grip and left the classroom. Misaki then returned to her seat.

"Hey, Mami, Minako. How can I explain to him? Should I just die instead?"

Mami and Minako couldn't reply. To Daisuke, Misaki, and Souta, their friends' deaths were far less important than the decision they have to make right now. Noticing their awkward atmosphere, Naoya ran to the front of Nobuaki and asked, "Is the King's Game for real? If it is..."

Nobuaki brushed him away with his hand.

"The King's Game... What kind of shit is this! Hideki and Satomi are already dead!"

"Oh...Sorry..."

Chiemi was weeping at Nobuaki's side. Nobuaki gently stroked her head. As he did, tears rushed from his eyes.

Hideki and Satomi would never come back. They died as the message promised for not following the command. This must have stirred everyone into a panic.

Should the appointed two follow the command this time? Was the death of the other two only a coincidence?

In the chaotic classroom, Misaki took out her phone and tried to send a message to someone.

Some were particularly mindful of the punishment of the King's Game. Some were sad for Hideki and Satomi's death. Some others were confused about whether their deaths were simply coincidence or not.

The classroom atmosphere had altered greatly since Hideki and Satomi, the fun makers of the class, passed away.

Perhaps slowly starting to accept that Hideki and Satomi's death was true, most classmates were afflicted with grief. Knowing that Hideki and Satomi would not be in the class ever again, many classmates couldn't help but cry.

The after-school bell rang and Nobuaki packed his bag and prepared to return home as usual. Chemi approached him with a sad face.

"Can I stay at your house tonight? I want to stay with you."

Nobuaki lightly tapped on her head and replied gently, "Sure, you can come over."

Chiemi wiped off her tears and smiled to cover up her sad face. She held on tightly to Nobauki by the sleeves of his uniform, as if telling him she was ready to go. 

On their way home, the two did not talk. They were scared that if they did, they might talk Hideki and Satomi. Just thinking about them made them tear up, so they stopped talking so they would forget about the King's Game. Chiemi held tightly to Nobuai's sleeves the entire way for emotional support. They still didn't talk after they had entered Nobuaki's room. All they could do, they thought, was snuggle up to each other and heal their injured hearts with their body warmth.

Suddenly, after some time, their phones rang together.

*[10/22 Thursday 21:12
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: Obedience Confirmed
*END]

Nobuaki stood up abruptly.

Receiving the 'Obedience Confirmed' message means that Daisuke and Misaki had followed the command due to fear of the punishment.

"Did Daisuke and Misaki really follow the command?"

Chiemi could not help but cry, "Maybe... What if we receive the same command next time, then what will we do, Nobuaki?"

Nobuaki held her in his arms and comforted her, "Who said anyone had to follow the commands! But, now everyone in the class knows that Daisuke and Misaki had sex..."

"Shouta must be going berserk right now."

"I think so too—let's phone Daisuke and Misaki to find out. I don't know Daisuke's phone number, so I can't call him. Oh, I think you have Misaki's phone number, right?

"Yeah, I do," Chiemi replied.

"Then please phone her. Actually, no, please don't."

"Why?"

"Do you have to ask? Could you really just go and ask her if she had sex with Daisuke?"

"I.. I can't.."

"Then you don't need to call."

After a few hours, their phones rang again. Half asleep, Nobuaki crawled up, rubbed his eyes and took out his phone.

[1 New Message]

He turned on the lights and woke Chiemi up. Chiemi was also sleepy and drowsy.

"What?"

"We've received a message again. It's probably the King's message."

*[10/21 Thursday 00:00
*From: The King
*Subject: The King's Game
*Body: This is the King's Game in which everyone in your class is participating. The King's command is absolute and must be done within 24 hours. ※ You can not withdraw from the game.
*＊Command 5: Student Number 30 Yahiro Shouta—In front of everyone, Yahiro Shouta will have to give out any order. The person that is declared must follow his order as that person would to a King's command.
*END]

"Now Shouta has to give out an order..?"

Chiemi replied with a sleepy tone, "Thats fine, right? He just needs to make a simple order and that's it."

"Right! Hey, are you still asleep?" Nobuaki asks.

"Ugh.. Just go to sleep."

"What's a simple command like?"

Chiemi coldy replied, "Sleep."

"Isn't this command too vague? Something simpler like 'eat something' or to 'breath' would work better—what do you think?"

Nobuaki looked at Chiemi for her response, but she had already fallen into deep sleep.

"...You're right—sleep will work.."

MystiKnight: Its my page, isnt it? So I put some stuff up.

Hello. I am a native english speaker, but I'm terrible with any other languages =S

Hopefully, I can be helpful to the site and help clean up any articles with slightly-broken english.
Feel free to pull me up on anything that I edit wrongly =D

MystiKnight: Noticed something I missed.

“You are telling me that a “unique-user” was found?”

Lisara Restole put the tea cup on the glass-table without making a sound. She looked up slowly and then said it to the small girl who sat in front of her.

“It must be a joke.”

“Ara, isn’t this rooibos tea from the human world? Fufu, it’s delicious.”

The girl continues drinking the tea as if she didn’t hear her.

“Cule, I’m having a serious discussion.”

Lisara stares her with sharp eyes, but the girl smiles.

“Ara, I’m sorry. This is a good tea, so I couldn’t resist.”

The small built girl called Cule smiles like a blossomed flower. She’s from the House of Zeria, which is a relative of House of Restole, which is a noble house amongst noble houses. She’s wearing a dress with detailed prints and she is adorable like a doll. For Lisara, who is the heir of the House of Restole, Cule is her cousin who is younger than her, but more than that she is an adorable little sister to her. Because of that, Lisara’s expression change to a bitter smile.

“But I don’t think it’s true that there is a unique-user that wasn’t noticed by Restole central.”

“I do not know whether it is true or false, because I have not gained the qualification of being a grim reaper. I just happened to hear Otou-sama talking about it.”

Cule twirled her brunette hair with her finger and she is a bit sulk.

“That’s why I thought rather than myself, Onee-sama will know more about it. That’s because Onee-sama graduated the first-class grim reaper in 2nd place.”

“That has nothing to do with it. Even I still haven’t been dispatched to the human World yet.”

“It can’t be helped since it’s Onee-sama. Since you are the heir of Restole, you are required to make a pact with a human who is suitable rather than commoners who are lying around.”

“I see. So for someone to be suitable for me, you brought the rumour about that unique-user to me.”

Lisara made a small laugh and then drank the tea.

“Thank you Cule. Lots of things happened with the House of Zeria in the past, but I’m happy about the friendship I have with you.”

“You are making me shy about friendship. I think of Lisara-oneesama as my real Onee-sama you know?”

“Fufu. I feel the same way, Cule.”

Cule make a sound of happiness with that word. While looking at Cule who is like her little sister, Lisara rests her chin on her hand.

“House of Zeria….. Certainly Cule’s uncle is at the position where he can get information about it. If I can, I definitely want to make a pact. But I’m not sure if this case will come to me.”

“Ara, is there anyone more suitable than Onee-sama who is the next head of house of Restole?”

“Cule, you may not know but my position isn’t certain yet. The talk about me being the next head isn’t something which is decided yet. And there are lots of people opposing about it.”

“Is that true……?”

Cule looks down and stirs the rooibos tea with a spoon. Lisara probably can’t see it, but Cule must have a sad expression on her adorable face.

"You do not have to worry that much about it Cule. I, Lisara Restole, can pass through any small obstacles like that. So don’t worry much about it, okay?”

“Lisara Onee-sama…… Ah.”

Cule looks up while having the spoon left inside the tea cup in bad manners.

“Let’s take it first then Onee-sama!”

MystiKnight: I cleaned up what I could, hopefully it makes a lot more sense.
