"Me too, I think so. Mr. Tanizawa knows that we're leaving this room... although, of course, he's not officially admitting it."

Mr. Margo said.

"I... still think you should contact Chief Tanzawa"

Said Seki-san.

"I don't think it's a good idea to act just by guessing"

As Chief Tanzawa's subordinate, he thinks he should at any rate turn to his boss for judgment.

"When I see you officially... there's no way I'm telling you to leave."

Ning says...

"I know how you feel about not being stuck in a room like this... but it's safe here for now. Because it's four floors above Chief Tanzawa's absolute defensive line. If, in the unlikely event, 'Enemy' breaks through the defensive line, we can retreat to the upper floor from here..."

"I... I thought you were here to escape!

Seki-san and Ning are... head-on, in conflict.

"Well... you're in trouble"

Mr. Margo smiled bitterly.

"Seung-san... puts the safety of all of us first. Of course, that's very important, isn't it? But..."

Margot's eyes caught Ning.

"Ning... thinks he has to confront Viola. Otherwise, he said he couldn't get out of past suffering. I myself want Ning's help everywhere. I'm going to go out with you to the bottom of hell... but I'm not going to force you on everyone."

The gaze of the whole room gathers at Mr. Margo.

"What to do now...... I want each person to decide for themselves"

... I am.

"I... of course, will follow Mr. Ning and Mr. Margo. Until the end."

I'm... I'm ready.

"I will only protect your husband. That's what I promised Misuzu."

Meizhi also gave me an instant answer.

"I will go with you......!

"Fujimiya?!

To Reihua's words...... Kan is astonished.

"... I am your sister, so I am obliged to protect these children"

Reihua... prioritized being our "sister" over being the guardian of Kazuki Security Services.

"What about Snow?

I asked Snow... put down the tea bowl I was drinking with Don.

"Of course, I'm coming with you."

... Huh?

"This room... something is disgusting. I don't want to stay any longer."

... That.

"Heh, heh, heh"

Kensi Kazuki... laughs out.

"I see, is that what you mean......!

Hey, what is it?

"This room also...... of course it has surveillance cameras, and there must be a system of bugging. And this conversation right now... naturally, we should assume it's all listened to."

... being listened to?

To whom?

The surveillance system is now being held down by….

Chief Tanzawa...... and it's Ji.

"As long as the 'My Lords' continue to see me in this room... I guess I should go outside"

Kenji Kazuki looks at me.

"As I said earlier... I don't have any more."

Ken Kazuki, whose father was discovered to be a traitor... cannot remain within the Kazuki group unless he demonstrates his loyalty to Ji personally...

"Either way, you... you should feel the horror of the real 'back' world on your skin, right? As it is now, it's too big a head."

Mr. Margo praised Kenji Kazuki as such.

"I know for a fact that you should feel scared. Well, I'm ready..."

How long will that light mouth last......

But... now even Kenji Kazuki left the room.

Later......

"... ok, already"

Mr. Guan... exhales.

"If I wasn't with you... you wouldn't be able to move around the hotel! Let's go! I just need to follow you guys!

The only person who memorized the map in the maze hotel... is Seki-san.

The truth is... we can't leave the room without Seki-san.

"Chief Tanzawa! You're watching it anyway! I will follow these children. Later, do whatever it takes to get paid or fired for violating orders!

Seki-san shouts at the CCTV.

"Sorry...... with the laborious' sister 'and' brother '"

Ning told Guan.

"Sister, I love it!

Seung-san... with her face red in the light.

"I… have not yet decided to be your 'sister'"

"Still... I'm already your sister. Our...!

Ning smiled nicely... and said so.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Reihua... bust the door!

"Yes!"

Reihua sets up a slaughter stick.

"I didn't have to do this... Mr. Tanizawa, if you're silent about escaping, you just have to unlock the door."

Kenji Kazuki says sarcastically.

"Even Mr. Tanizawa is a salarier... we'll have trouble later if there's no evidence left that we got out on our own." I felt signs I was about to escape the wiretap, but when I tried to deal with it, it was already after they broke the door and left the room. "

That's what Mr. Margo says.

"… Coming"

...... duhhhh!!

A special alloy stick... pierces and destroys the electronic lock part of the door!

...... Gi.

"Okay, I'm open... let's go"

Lead Mr. Margo...... out of the room.

Mr. Margo explores the door leading to 'HQ', once… on the other side of the hallway.

The door knob... doesn't turn.

Knock on thick metal doors...... conn.

"Yeah... you're not on this floor"

"HQ" is built to be an elevator for each room and allow you to move about five floors freely.

Now...... I guess I'm moving every room to the other floor.

"This floor was the top floor where" HQ "could be moved."

To Margo's inquiry, Ning nods, "Yeah."

That means... Chief Tanzawa and the others are downstairs.

"Well, shall we go down, too?"

Even if we confront Sizario Viola... we'll have to go down to the floor downstairs.

Of course that means... going somewhere more dangerous.

"Shall I take the lead?

Kan, the map master, suggests to Margo….

"No. I'll change the formation, but Mr. Kan will stay in the second row, please"

Mr Margo replied that.

"At the beginning... Michi, please"

"... Yes, sir."

"If you ever think 'that's weird' at all, report it. No, I don't mind attacking you before you report it. I'll leave that to Michi's discretion."

Margo seems to intend to make the most of Michi's power to feel 'chi'.

"Keep the munchies out... because if you were taking them out after it felt dangerous, you wouldn't make it"

Copy that, sir.

Michi takes the red munch out from under his skirt.

"Seki-san in the second row asks you to navigate to where you are going and follow Meizhi"

"Me too... I'd better keep my pistol out."

Seki-san removes the revolver-style pistol from the holster he hid.

"Oh, it's not automatic, is it? The number of rounds loaded is higher than the revolver, right?

Mr. Margo peeks in with interest.

"If you're a fighter, you'd better have a lot of ammo... but I'm an escort. You don't envisage taking the lead here, do you? That's why we employ revolvers that are guaranteed to function in any situation, rather than automatic with a high number of rounds loaded."

"Now that the level of the machine is higher than it used to be, even automatic doesn't jam much, does it?

"But... this metal chunky pistol calms something down better. Can you trust me?"

"Oh... that's huge, isn't it?"

Mr. Margo is convinced by what Mr. Guan said.

"So... Sister Reihua, the third row. Ning, him and Yukino, three guards, please."

"... ok"

Reihua's weapons can only be attacked directly.

In this situation, Ms. Margo apparently decided that she should exchange positions with Michi.

"My lord, I am Shinkansen."

Mr. Margo takes command, watching what's going on around him at the far rear.

Around there...... they don't change.

"Um, what should I do?

Kensi Kazuki said...

"You follow me from three meters behind me. When your enemies fuck you, call out loud gagging. While you're in pain, I'll make an interception move. But don't die instantly without saying a word. You are the shield of everyone when you are attacked by an enemy from behind… keep your 'enemies' as close as you can until you die."

Mr Margo says so with a smile.

"Um... Am I going to get killed?

"Come on? Well, try your best alone. If you're lucky, don't you just have to get hurt?

Mr. Margo clearly declares that he is unwilling to protect Kenji Kazuki.

"haha...... that's an interesting joke"

"I'm not kidding... if you mean it"

Mr. Margo's eyes were...... cold.

"I'm sorry, but from here on out... we do our best just to protect our 'families'. Do your own thing. I don't have an in-laws to help you."

"Hahaha...... are you serious?

"Yeah...... seriously"

Ken Kazuki... seems to have started to realize that he is in a danger zone.

Ken Kazuki has always been treated specially as a member of the Kazuki family......

I have always assumed that I deserve to be taken care of and protected by others.

But...... on this occasion.

That 'reason' doesn't make sense.

We just protect ourselves… it's the best we can do.

I can't afford to protect 'others'...

"I figured I... should I cage in that room over there?

"Isn't that okay? I busted the door in my room... and I've been alone for a long time, but it doesn't matter."

Mr. Margo smiles nigga.

"... I'll go with you all"

Kenshin Kazuki also decides to be prepared.

"All right, let's go...... form it up. Mr. Guan, please navigate."

"... you're going downstairs, right?

"Yes."

Mr. Margo said.

"Maybe... Kazuki and Minaho are downstairs from this floor. If this whole struggle was planned by Kazuki Kazuki... Kazuki should be looking to meet with Sizario Viola when his' enemy 'is exhausted."

Ji... you want to meet with Viola?

Direct interview......?????!

"That's all... I can't think of any reason why you called Cizario Viola to this hotel."

Mr. Margo told me... that's what he said.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Next... the front corner, to the right"

Based on the map that Kan took in his head... he directs us.

A leading wisdom explores the signs of an 'enemy' … If there is no problem, move on.

I can't help it if it takes time.

Because I can't change my life...

"There's no such thing as' enemy 'around here anyway."

Kensi Kazuki said.

"It's the 24th floor. Because it's above Chief Tanzawa's defensive line. You can't run into an enemy. If you think about it, you know what I mean."

"In the first battle, we talked about the infiltration of about four enemies."

Margo tells Kenji Kazuki.

"There's only four of us, right? It's a scout I sent out to scout anyway. I don't think you'll come and fight without darkness. By and large, haven't they even reached this floor yet?

Ken Kazuki speaks for himself.

"Come on, what do you think?

Mr. Margo answers, checking what's going on behind him…

"Miss Cordelia is... someone with a past who was working with Kyoko. If so... I think anything is possible...!

Mr. Margo...... doesn't loosen his guard.

"...... Mmm!

The leading...... Michi stopped.

"What's up, Michi?

"Something... I feel weird 'chi'"

Michi... drops his hips softly and sets up a munch.

"... behind you, too."

Mr. Margo said...

"... come!

Mr. Margo pulls Kenji Kazuki's arm... and pushes him inside the line.

"Kan, Reihua sister!

"... I know!

"... this one too"

Kan is...... a follow-up to the previous Michi.

Reihua... look at Margo in the back.

"No, there's something there!

Not in front or behind... Snow pointed at the ceiling right next to me.

Ha ha, look up!

On the ceiling, a human wearing a protective grey combat suit is affixed!

"I was completely erasing the signs......?!

Fighters on the ceiling... they're coming at us from above!

...... ahhh!!!
