(It's time for the Second Main Game hehe. Wonder what is awaiting us this time?)

Muto stepped into the trial grounds. He was ready. He had the Keymaster and was confident of his survival. Would any other scandalous stuff be revealed this time? Muto didn't really mind. The trial grounds were similar. The background of the trial grounds were black while those overturned tables were arranged in a circle per usual, except there were three less of them, probably signifying the death of three people.

"What was that earlier, meow...?" Gin asked.

"Gashu! What's going on?! Explain yourself!!" Reko called out for him.

"Kinda feels like this won't be a normal Main Game..." commented Sou.

"It's... starting all over again..." whined Kanna.

"Oh my, what a bustling crowd. Did you call for me?" Gashu said as he popped into view.

"You...! What's this transgression Miley mentioned?!" Reko questioned.

"Transgression? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean." Gashu replied innocently.

"Don't tell me it's about the wallet...!" Sara brought up.

Gashu looked confused.

"Understand that if there truly is a transgression, it should become clear in your discussion. Supposing one is discovered, it will be addressed." he told them. 

"Yeah right, jackass! It's you who's gonna decide what counts as a transgression, isn't it?!" Reko asked him. 

"Gashu... At least call Miley! So she can hand down judgement on any misconduct!" Sara pleaded.

"...Miley is the Floor Master for floors 1 and 2. I cannot do that." Gashu replied.

"Then call Safalin." Keiji ordered him.

"...Very well, if that will satisfy you." replied Gashu.

Safalin suddenly appeared into view too.

"Please... Be our impartial judge." Keiji asked her.

"...Bwahaha..." laughed Gashu.

"What're you laughin' at, asshole?!" Reko scolded him angrily.

"...I am joyful. Such determination to have a fair slaughter, without having to worry over misconduct...!" laughed Gashu.

"You goddamn...!!" 

"Now then, let the second Main Game..."

"Hang on!!" Q-taro came out suddenly panting. Apparently, he wasn't here before or something. 

"Ohh...! Very good! Everyone has assembled." declared Gashu.

"D... Damnit!! So it's starting after all...?!" Q-taro cursed.

"Indeed, we have talked long enough. Now, we shall begin the second Main Game." announced Gashu.

...

A heavy air dominated the space once more. It was honestly just becoming the norm at this point so Muto was already used to it. He knew he was secure since he got the Keymaster. He quickly checked his tablet and indeed, he got that sweet Keymaster card. 

Everyone was quiet, not too sure what to really say.

"...Keeping quiet's only making time pass, guys. Let's at least decide our fate by our own hand, okay?" Sou broke the ice.

"Aah... sniff..." cried Kanna.

"It's okay. We've walked this road before, haven't we?" Sou said.

"Then an' now... It's totally different...! We're allies by now!! We've spent way more time together...!!" Q-taro admitted.
