We three ran along the street, stopping behind a car. The King of spades couldn't be seen anywhere. "The only blimps left are the King of Spades and Queen of Hearts. The surviving players have come to Shibuya where the blimps are.", Arisu said. "We can't go farther unless the King of Spades is defeated." Usagi saw something. "Look!" It was Kuina and Ann. "Oh my god." I was so happy to see them. "Kuina! Ann!" They saw us and stopped. "It's Arisu!" Both ran to us and hid too behind the car. "It's been a while." I smiled at them. "Thank goodness you're all right!" "Good to see you again." "Did you see Chishiya?" I looked at Kuina, who was waiting for my answer. Arisu and I slightly nodded. "Yeah. He'll be fine." That's what we hoped for. "You're right." "The king of spades is trying to end things here.", Ann now spoke. "Let's defeat the King together." A shot came from behind and we all turned around and looked over the car. It was him. A guy ran next to our car, but got shot and fell down exactly next to Ann. We knew that we needed to run away, so we did. I ran behind a car, waited there for a second, but then continued. The person next to me got shot and made me fall. I turned around and saw the King of Spades over me. First he shot the person next to me, than aimed at me. "Yuna!" I took out my gun and threw it at him, but he grabbed me and placed his arm around my neck. He was pressing so hard, I could barely breath. Arisu wanted to shoot at him, but he shot back and they dodged. Kuina suddenly kicked a mirror from a car and it hit the King on the back of his head. He turned around and threw me onto the ground, now aiming for Kuina. I catched my breath, sat up and picked up my gun, then ran away and hid behind a car. Suddenly the King got hit by a car and someone jumped out. The car drived into another one and both exploded. Everyone came out and looked what happened. More people gathered around. "Yes! We did it!" No, he wouldn't die so fast. The guy's then got shot. I turned my head to the King of Spades, that now jumped down from the car. He took of his mask and under it was a man with a bunch of scars all over his face. He looked at Arisu, then started running into the direction of him. Usagi ran away, followed by the shots of him. Suddenly a arrow landed on the King. Another archer? I turned my head to the person. She was still a school girl. The half of her left leg was missing. He started shooting again and she ran away. Some guys tried to shoot him, but that didn't work. I saw how Arisu and Usagi ran into some building and followed them. "Over here!" Ann and Kuina came in too and we ran to their side. "Arisu!" We all turned our heads to the voice. It was the archer again. She kneeled down beside us. "Heiya." Heiya looked at Usagi and said: "Are you Usagi?" "Yes." She started smiling. "Nice to meet you." Probably a story I will never understand. "He's just about to run out of his spare magazines." Aguni? He's alive too! "Aguni!" "Aguni, how'd you get here?" He ran over to us and hid behind a wall. "I followed you." "You must like me." Aguni walked to us and kneeled down next to Heiya. "He's still just a human. He's not omnipotent. His guns are the same. They can't be fired forever. When he's out of rounds, he reloads. The blimp probably sends them down to him." Right.. "We've got weapons.", Arisu said. Well, not much, but we've got some. He held his shotgun up and everyone packed out their weapon. I had my gun with me and still one knife left in my boots. "But these are all the rounds we've got." Kuina said: "Oh, yeah, I've got this." She packed out the good luck charm from Chishiya. My mind directly went to him. Was he still alive? Could I see him again? What would happen if we win all games? "A good luck charm. It's a bomb Chishiya made." "Chishiya?" Arisu looked at me, knowing I was worrying about him. "What good is that?" Arisu took it out of Kuina's hand. "Lure him in and use it at close range. Judging from the smell, the bomb's got kerosene in it." "An ANFO bomb." "That won't make much of an explosion." Arisu moved to the side to look out on the streets again. "There's a drug store over there. If it's closed off and filled with aerosol fumes, the explosion can be amplified." Wow, he is pretty smart. "You sure of that?" "Maybe." That means the whole plan could be dumb. "In other words, someone has to lure him in there?", Kuina asked. "Yeah. I'll wait for him in the store and set it off." Did he wanted to die or what? "But then you'll die, Arisu." I like Ann, she's smart and can defend herself. I ship her with Kuina, definitly. "No, I'll get away." "How?" "On the second floor, even if I'm blown outside, I can still survive. Maybe." Arisu smiled at Ann and she smiled back. "This is nothing but 'maybes'." "It's worth betting on his 'maybes'. This time, i'll be the decoy." They're a good duo, could be father and daughter. "It's reckless to lure him alone." I now realized I didn't say anything here yet. Has this world really changed me so much? "I'm enough." "Let's all be decoys." My mind wandered back to Chishiya and I knew I needed to accept that. "You'd better belive it. You can count on us." We all turned ur heads to Aguni, who laughed slightly. "Okay, let's go."
