Chapter 5 -A Letter and a Mysterious Butterfly-

　The next day, there was one black letter when I looked at the postbox in the morning. It looked suspicious to me, so I took it to my sister. When I look at the back of the letter it wrote

Challenge of death

on it. I was really scared of what would happen to me. I hurried to Yuno’s room to find out what this letter is about.

“What is this Yuno? I look so scared.”

“The sender was joking around, trying to surprise us. This is not a comic book world…oh! This might be the letter from Rima. I will call Shiori.”

“Thank you. Let’s look in to find out some things about this problem.”

Long time no see, big brother! I know it's just a letter, but I'm glad we can talk like this. I don't think we've ever talked properly. I'm going to play a fun game and we'll talk about it! Of course, your friends will be there too. These are important rules so please read this until the end. First, you can’t quit this game. Second, you need to risk your life. If you try to quit, you have to be prepared to die. It is very fun so have fun, everyone!

From: Rima ♡

“I think this is like a death game in a movie. But do you think she can do this kind of thing?”

“That right Karuto. I think someone is helping Rima to do these things.”

Your friend is waiting in this place tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

“I think this answer is MINATO PARK. I think there was one T junction near there.”

　The first one to speak up was Shiori. I don’t think we don’t need this color to find the answer so I said

“I think we need to guess the letter of the same color as the color of the number.”

“So it will be…”

“Minato station east!”

“Everyone listen tomorrow please come to Karuto’s house at 8:30. Will we go together? Is that OK Karuto?”

“All right. So for today, dissolute!”

“I will tell Teru and Soushi to also come to my house at 8:30.”

I had a feeling that a big battle was about to begin.

　The next day, everyone came to my house. After everyone came, my sister gave us GPS and a ray gun to protect ourselves when we have something.

“Now let’s go to MINATO station east.”

Then we went to MINATO station east. I was nervous about who was waiting there. In the letter, it was written your friend. I believe that people who are waiting for us are safe. But I and Teru were surprised that who was waiting for us was our school classmate… Shinku and Miku!

　They were wearing what looked like an iron collar around his neck. They look painful.

“Shinku! Miku! Are you ok?! Did Rima do something to you?”

“I can't tell you that... If I tell you, We will get poisoned in our neck... Just follow us for now.”

“How cowardly she is!”

“Cool down Teru. Shouting won't change this situation. We have to act to help them right?”

“OK please come with us.”

　We follow the twins. Their faces look blurry and feel bad. It is possible because if they say no to her they will die. I need to support Teru before his feelings break. I was so nervous when Rima would do something to us.

“Now it here.”

The place that Miku pointed was Stairs to a dimly lit underground passage. Everyone gets ready to fight with the enemy. When we got there, Shinku and Miku were taken by the Man that stood nearby the underground passage. The other woman come near and said

“Please follow me from now. My name is Vita Sorani. Please call me Sora.”

　The underground passage was dark. But, when we walked for 5-6 minutes we saw a bright light from the big door.

“What is this bright light Sora?”

“On the other side of this door, there is that man. Don't ever be rude to him. Be careful not to do anything that might upset her. This is as far as I can get.”

“OK. Thank you.”
