YUURI'S POV

"it's a game were in we could get killed." Said shouko in a serious way.

"W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE COULD GET KILLED?" I shouted and Shouko covered my mouth with her hands.

"don't shout if someone else knew about this they could be dragged as well" she then removed her hands and I glared at her.

"then? What is this game?" asked Murata.

"lets talk about it in a private place"

(~~~~~)

We were now on the rooftop of Shinou temple. We asked the maidens not to enter and don't make anyone come here or even near the rooftop. I was near the door kind of like a guard protecting it. My arms were crossed and I stared at shouko who was looking at the sky. Murata was with Shinou.

"then? I will repeat the question, what is this game?" he asked again , with his glasses gleaming. Shouko didn't move from her place and still looked at the sky with a sad expression.

"this game is a game were in players will be chosen by a host. The host is not a human he is a immortal mazoku. I doubt that you'd heard of him."

"what? A mazoku? Then why is he hurting the maou?" asked Shinou.

"he is not a mazoku from shin makoku" he looked at Shinou with a serious expression.

"he is a mazoku from hell" I gasped. Hell? Hell exists?

"he is a devil to be exact." I was about to talk but then she stared at me.

"don't speak yet let me finish my explanation" she raised a finger and I just nodded.

"he likes to play this game in order to cure his unbearable boredom but he dosent choose the players randomly. He chooses skilled beings…. Humans,demons and even angels he plays with them.'

"tell us his name" she then looked at murata with a sad face.

"I don't know his name I'm sorry" I looked at her sadly. She must be hiding something or experienced something.

"tell us how to play"

"yes, well this is a team survival game were in enemies will be attacking us once or twice a week. The host will send us riddles and the location of his toys and if we don't make it in time it will eat 100 living beings. We, the players, have to eliminate his toy and get the medallions inside and destroy it. If we destroy 10 medallions we will be transported to his last toy and if we defeat the toy we win. This also has a point system were in he will judge our battle skills if we are good or bad. If we are good and defeated all the toys we win."

"What if we defeat the toys and we got bad?" she then looked at the ground.

"We will be spared but the ones that gave birth to you will die." My eyes went wide. I was shocked. If we get bad theb my parents will die. That person is disgusting!

"That's sick" she then looked up at the sky. Murata looked at her seriously.

"Shouko-san a while ago why did you say that if someone knew that we are players in this game they will be dragged?"

"they will be players. As of the moment only the three of us are players."

"what about me?" asked shinou.

"You're dead so you can assist us. The dead can help us in every way since you guys are dead you won't die and the scar wont be carved to you."

"Scar?" I asked. She then folded her right sleeves. I blushed.

"SHOUKO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" she sighed and then continued. She revealed to us a red cross on her shoulder. It was a scar. She then pointed to our shoulders. So we removed our upper clothes. We also have the same scar on our right shoulders. Shinou was shocked.

"How'd we get these scars? I don't remember someone cutting us!" I panicked and my eyes went wide. Murata also panicked and glared at her.

"this was carved into us when we saw the butterfly but we cant feel it. This scar is a sign of us being players." We nodded.

"this scar is like poison. It will destroy our heart if we don't put effort in this game. And its also like a camera. Its were he watches us." I stared at her.

"why do you know so much?" she froze.

"I was once a player since I discovered my friend to be a player." She then looked at us.

"we have to practice our strategies Murata you will be the strategist and do you know how to heal?" he nodded.

"good Yuuri since you know how to fight you and me will be fighters." I nodded.

"keep this a secret to your mazoku friends Yuuri so that they wont be dragged." She smiled and I blushed. She's right. I cant let them join us we have to do this on our own. We have to impress him and win this. I smiled back and so did Murata. Shinou smiled.

"I'll help you as well. I cant let my sage do this on his own and I have to train the maou." We all looked at each other. And she then formed a fist and raised it in the air.

"WE CAN DO THIS! LETS DEFEAT HIM AND WIN! BI-CHAN MURAMURA!' we nodded and smiled. We went near each other and talked about our strategies. We decided not to come back to the castle until this game ends. I asked a messenger to tell this to them, that we are gonna discuss something important with Shinou. This is a good team in my opinion. Murata is our strategist and healer. I'm the maou and she's a professional exorcist and skilled swordsman. We can do this and defeat the game itself.

Wolfram, everyone I will protect you.

WOLFRAM'S POV

Back in shin makoku

I woke up in the medical quarters. I suddenly jolted out of the bed. I noticed that I was wearing my soldier uniform as always. I looked around and saw Conrad,Gunter, Gwendel ,Mother and Greta beside me. They had worried faces. I cant seem to find Yuuri anywhere.

"where's Yuuri" Mother held my hand and smiled sadly.

"he went back to earth with his friend" friend? Shouko that girl…. She tried to kill me! I gripped the blanket and glared at the floor.

"WHERE IS SHE? " I shouted. They all backed away. Conrad went near me and gripped my hand

'Calm down she won't harm heika" he said calmly. I glared at him yet he maintained his composure.

"Heika trusts her so I trust her as well even if she almost killed heika"

"WHY?"

"I don't know" then I felt my eyes becoming hotter and my vision became blurry. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I felt weak. I sat down on the bed and wiped my tears. It pains me to hear that Yuuri trusts that monster so much. Suddenly a soldier suddenly entered the room.

"I have a message from the maou" from Yuuri?

"tell us" he saluted.

"y-yes he said that he will be staying at Shinou temple for a while and that everyone has to protect this castle" Yuuri staying at Shinou temple? Whats going on? Is this related to that girl. That girl is horrible.

"then we will go there and fetch him"

"i-I do not know the reason but he also told me that you guys shouldn't come at Shinou temple"

What is going on?
