In front of the fountain in the center of the college grounds, a dozen students gathered, including our leading Ghost Eaters (Demon Eaters).

Non-representative athletes say they are students who can help with the training.

There are mainly sophomores and freshmen.

Future candidates for representation - maybe that means.

But when it came to having all these students, we were only busy with gay people.

However, Larnia, the leading instructor of haunted eating, is still out of hand because she is not coming.

The water sprayed up from the fountain is sparkling and brilliant in the sun.

This is not the time to relax and look at the fountain because it is the beginning of the class.

"What is Teacher Larnia doing!?

"A lot, aren't you getting ready?

Nonono was relenting with a soft grin at Zermin, who was treading in frustration.

"Junior, you're going to calm down.

You should always keep your mind at ease. "

Cornice, a dog-man who speaks those words, pounded Zermin's shoulder with a face as simple as a child.

"That's right, Mr. Zermin.

Cornice is right.

What are we gonna do with this mess?

"... in the game... if you lose your cool... you lose..."

To both seniors, Zermin was given a mild lesson.

"Mm... I do think it's important to be able to afford it..."

"Fair enough, Zermin.

Even Teacher Lania is busy. "

"... right"

Though his mouth was bent to the letter of Heh, Zermin was convinced in such a way as reluctantly.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Without waiting so long, Larnia came.

"I was going to prepare it in advance, but it took me a while to get ready."

"Ready? It's not a competition to use tools like Death Flag (Death Flag), is it?

From what I saw, it didn't look like I had anything.

"I was making this."

He fished his shorts pockets gusty and removed several pieces of white parchment paper.

The paper is folded squarely.

"This paper says its own terms of victory.

I'll give it to you now, but don't check the contents yet.

Do not discard the paper after confirmation. "

Lania handed the paper to the six leading players.

Even if you receive it, do not spread the broken paper.

We had our eyes on the instructor in charge.

"It's a team split, but first we'll have a three-year and two-year team split up to play the game.

'Cause I'm going to invite other students who got together to participate in the competition. "

Me, Zermin, Nonono.

Mistrea, Elina, and Cornice.

Break up into three teams at a time.

"The paper I gave you, along with the terms of victory, says who's the ghost.

I know you understand that from yesterday's explanation, but don't show that paper to your buddies either.

Especially watch out for students who become ghosts.

Then you can check the terms of victory. "

Permission granted, and I opened a four-fold piece of paper.

You tore the paper billy with your hands, and the top and bottom of the open paper were shiny.

For a piece of paper ripped apart in such a mess.

• Conditions of victory

Confirming the winning conditions for three players, other than your own team.

However, no direct attack shall be carried out.

It said:

(... the Larnian guy)

He seemed to be thinking about the terms of the victory, including who to give him what.

Not to attack would be to improve the difficulty of the competition.

And the fact that I wasn't a ghost meant that Zermin or Nonono was a ghost.

(…… do we also need to fight while protecting one of the ghosts than we can lose the game)

Basically, it's easier to avoid acting alone. I was just thinking, I got eyes on Zermin and Nonono.

Naturally, we don't touch each other about what was written on the paper.

As soon as the three third-year students also checked the paper, they looked up as if nothing had happened.

"You confirmed that.

Well, you guys stay put for once.

Students other than representative athletes, gather here. "

Larnia called and attracted the students.

Then we talked a few stories to the students who came together and made four teams.

Then you give him the paper like you gave it to us.

"Now you've got all six teams.

Then we'll decide where to start. "

Each team was given a starting position.

Our team started in front of the men's quarters.

"In a few moments, we'll unleash the magic of flames into the sky.

Because that's the signal to start the game.

All right, let's get moving!

With Larnia's ringing, we started moving.

While walking.

"Let's think about the operation a little bit."

"Um, right.

Be careful what you say in discussing the operation.

Don't talk about the content of the paper you've been given, even if you're wrong.

I'll talk to you after I understand that.

Although it will eventually move to meet the three winning conditions.

What do we do? Do we need to work with other teams?

We don't know each other's winning terms, but it doesn't seem to be a problem to consult them directly and to the extent that they don't find out.

"It's easier to cooperate... but it's hard to judge."

Even if they put their hands together, they could naturally be betrayed.

"... why don't we just act on our teammates first?

That's how we strive for each other's winning conditions. "

"Is that still easy?

Teammates are the only ones who can be trusted. "

All of them, they were in agreement.

"So, can we just act to find another team at the same time as the game starts?

"Yeah. No problem."

"Oh."

(... Maybe our team is a winning condition where everyone needs to come into contact with the players on the enemy team)

That's more likely than no one to avoid waiting or making contact with the enemy.

While we were discussing it, we decided what to do after the game started.
