Now that two questions are down, three more to go. Next question I'm going to ask him is about the Reapers.

"What exactly do we know about these Reapers?"

Mr. H replies in a happy manner, "Well, besides the fact they're your opponents, they are a kind of administrator in the Game."

"Administrator? As in the one who settles affairs around here?"

"Exactly," was his answer. "If you like to make sense out of it, Reapers have supernatural powers."

I asked, "What powers do they possess?"

"For starters, they have a long lifespan. However, they can only maintain it if they erase many players as they can. Another power would be they create Noise, the monsters that you and your friend have encountered. Finally, there's also when you two fight a Game Master, he/she turns into a Noise form. Think of it like when some villain turns into some kind of monster to fight the hero."

So that's what the Reapers are, huh? I thought. Come of it, they're powerful people in the Game with those supernatural powers, but I'm sure Shiki and I could beat them with the use of Mr. Mew and my pins, respectively.

"Now, can you tell me exactly about those planes of existence?" I asked.

Mr. H replies in that usual tone. "Well, there's the Realground or RG. In other words, it's the world that you and Shiki are born in. There's also Underground or UG, the plane where only Reapers and Players can see. Because you're here, people in the RG can't see or hear you. You should know by now of Shiki has seen and heard you on her sixth day in the Game while she was a pact partner with Neku. Too bad you couldn't see or hear her."

"Well, now that I'm dead, I found that out."

Now for the last question... instead of asking about the Noise, maybe I should ask him about the Composer.

"What exactly do you know about the Composer?"

"I guess you could say another mysterious character. In fact, his identity is a mystery. You have to find that out on your own."

"My thoughts exactly."

Suddenly, my cellphone rings and I saw a message of today's mission. It says, "Go to some place where there is darkness. Time limit is 360 minutes. Fail, and then face erasure – The Reapers."

"That's nice," Mr. H suddenly said it. "I gotta get going. Good luck to you and your friend."

"Thanks."

I turned to Shiki, "A riddle message."

"I know a place where there is darkness. It's a concert stage at the A-East!"

"You know this place?"

"Neku and I went there once."

Now off to the A-East!
