"It feels like a day just passed or something. What does that mean?" I said trying to understand the concept of the Game. I recalled that after Shiki and I completed our mission, we just blacked out. Then, I remembered we were at the Statue of Hachiko. Either way, I know for certain that Shiki might know something about this.

"It means that when we completed a mission, we just suddenly moved on to the next day," was the reply coming out of her mouth. I guess that's all she could say. From what I can think of her, I could tell that she may know the basics, but doesn't know something that she didn't expect of.

"So, let me get this straight. You're saying that after we complete a mission, we just fell asleep or something in the middle of the day?"

"Exactly."

Isn't this just great? We just passed out after the completing the mission. What is this rule? Is this some kind of a joke?

I look at the black pin I obtained from my right hand. It seems familiar. I could bet Shiki would know what this is. As she looked at me with it, I could tell she knows something about it.

"If you want to know something about that pin, Eri," she said. "It's a Player Pin. All the Players have those, and they use it to scan people."

"Scan people? Wait, does that mean read other people's thoughts?" I looked shocked by this kind of revelation. So this pin I'm holding is getting into people's thoughts. I recollect my thoughts of my first time of using this pin to ready their thoughts. I was shocked by this. I say that this is called eavesdropping, a term used to hear a conversation that is not intended to hear.

"Yes, it is," she replied.

Oh no, I just become an eavesdropper. But don't worry, I don't know those people I just eavesdrop on. There's nothing to worry about, right?

"Oh, and Eri," Shiki said, looking back to me. She put her eyes down on the pin I was holding, and then touches my shoulders. "You're lucky you're one of the people whose thoughts I wouldn't eavesdrop on."

As she said those words, I recalled yesterday when she told me that she saw me talking to Mina about her. She was shocked of finding out I gave up on being a designer. I gotta thank Shiki for telling me of this. I know for certain that she wouldn't eavesdrop on my thoughts because she's my friend. You're a good friend, Shiki. I knew you wouldn't make that kind of move on me.

"Yeah, otherwise you might find some bad thoughts in my head which I do not have," I replied. Suddenly, the phone just ringed. Let me guess, a mission right?

"The mission!" she yelled. "Your phone, answer it!"

I took out my cellphone and open the cover. As I looked at it, it's a message saying, "From where love is, there is a booth for confession. You have 60 minutes. Failed, and you will face erasure – The Reapers." Then I noticed the timer appearing on my right hand again. So this is what happens when every time we do a mission.

"You're right, Shiki. We're on to the next day because I noticed the date from my cellphone just changed to this day," I said.

She makes a reply with irony, "Yeah, I got that from my cellphone, too."

Now for the riddle. As Shiki and I think of what the answer to this riddle is, I thought of the answer right away. "I think it's the Phone Booth of Love."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" she asked. "Let's go there right now!"

We run off from the Statue to Hachiko as we are ready to go there. We both know where the Phone Booth of Love is and it's at Molco. As we headed there, I remembered the times of when Shiki was alive, we used to go shopping there and talk about fashion. But now that we're dead, I'm not sure about shopping right in this place. Anyway, this is no time to be shopping. We got to head to the phone booth. As we started to run off, we were blocked by something. Is that a wall or something?

"Ha! Do you think you'd just come this way to get the mission? Well, I got a real challenge for you two."

As Shiki and I looked from behind, we saw the guy sporting a red jacket and looking emotionless. Wait a minute, is he the same guy again from yesterday? If so...

"Oh great, him again?" I said.

"Yes, me again," the Reaper said, taunting me and Shiki with that look on his face. Does he almost always make that look?

"Does he always follow us everywhere we go? I mean, is he a stalker or something?" I asked my best friend in curiosity to this guy.

"No, Eri," she replied back. "We just cross paths with this guy, that's all."

The Reaper then replied back to us, "That's right. Now for your challenge. Bring me some food."

I was shock by this kind of challenge. Could these kind of Reapers make some challenge as trivial as this? Anyway, since it was his challenge, I decided not to object to it. "Okay," I said grabbing Shiki's hand as we're about to leave to do this task. While doing this, I scanned the Reaper to see what kind of food he likes. The answer? It's Rolly Jelly Q10.

If I know a place to find it, it's at the Pharmacy at Shibu-Q Heads. Because of this, Shiki and I started to run from there. When we get to Spain Hill, I decided to scan the people around. As I do it, I noticed the same red markings I saw from yesterday, and also a green marking. Just then, that marking just came to me, and we get ourselves to a fight with the Noise. As usual, I have to make use of my ice pin while Shiki has Mr. Mew doing all that fighting for her. Now after the battle, I seemed to noticed my pin has reached from level 1 to level 2. How nice that is anyway.

We continue to run all the way from Spain Hill to Tipsy Tose Hall. I call this place fun because after that talk I had with Mina last week, I decided to go there and have fun. My favorite kind of arcade game there is dancing. On the top of that, I went to karaoke. As I recalled of what I have sung there, I missed Shiki while I was singing. I was singing a song about friendship to her. Now that she's here with me in the Reapers' Game, I'm going to sing that song for her when we're back to the land of the living. Now then, I decided to test another battle with the Noise so I used the Player Pin to look for those markings to come to me. As it did, we're on to another battle, but we've won. We continued to run from here to Shibu-Q Heads.

I decided to have a conversation with Shiki about what we're about to do.

"Shiki," I started. "Do you buy things while you're at the Game?"

"Yes," she replied. "You can buy food, clothes, and even pins while in the Game. Oh, and if you're wondering how much that jelly is, it's quite expensive. But don't worry, I got a lot of Yen for us to share so that we can buy things."

"Uh, thanks," I said looking surprised from all that explanation. That must a lot of Yen she got ever since she got into the Game. Anyway, as we went to the pharmacy, we buy the jelly and because we're at Shibu-Q Heads, we have to run all the way back to Molco. This is gonna be a tiring day after all.
