The Death Game System
Chapter 26 - Instructions.

Yep. I don't know if this is related, but from then on, Shiori really changed." replied Tio.

"Humm?" Kei slightly frowned, looking confused.

"What does mother mean? No, what does that have to do with it? " ask Kei to clarify.

"Well, you know what? Maybe this is just my feeling, but Shiori really looks changed. She often becomes dazed, and sometimes unable to respond when the mother talks. He also sometimes does things that you don't understand, and he usually doesn't do either." Tio replied slightly scratching her head.

"In short, Shiori was not like herself. And I'm also afraid that something's going on with him. Therefore, I want to overcome this." Tio's story.

Kei heard it all nod, and tried to connect everything.

("*Shiori became strange after the incident... Was it just a psychological attack she received after getting a kiss? Especially from a woman.")

("That's the first possibility. But the second possibility, Shiori's mind was taken over back then, when inside the alley. If that happens, it means the way for the Player to use his skill is to use a kiss, won't it*?") kei asked in his mind.

He had already reached that conclusion after their conversation was over.

("Well, I would very much hope that a second possibility happened. If the first possibility occurs, then all the information I gathered up until now is not very useful..") Kei continued again.

Kei slightly took a breath, laying himself down onto the back of the chair, making it slightly curved because of it.

"Alright I've understood what happened like that. Wellh, I didn't think that that was the case for Shiori, but all of that made sense" Kei said after thinking things through.

"Do you believe my word?" tany Tio was a little surprised.

"Hummmmd. How say.... Mom also believed and told me all this, didn't she? Then why?" kei answered back asking.

"That's... That's because the one asking is you, Kei." said Tio slightly stammered.

??

"When you're in class you don't seem to be doing anything, but I know your true abilities! After all, I was your teacher back in elementary school!!" tio replied with passion.

"Heh?!! How is that possible?!!" Kei glared, stood up and asked in disbelief.

"Hummmmmd... Mother is the one you remind when there's a mistake in teaching natural knowledge, you know? It's natural that you don't remember it, but I always remember it in my head. And not only that, I know that you are also an expert in martial arts, right? If not wrong, Aikido, Karate, and Kendo."

"It's a pity that you don't intend to go to high school... And if you intend to, maybe you will win a lot of Olympics in academics and sports as well!! I will support you!!" shouted Tio with excitement.

Kei could not say the word hearing that. His past, which no one wants to know. The past he wanted to bury inside.

Kei has been trying to move from Fukuoka Prefecture in the south to central Tokyo so that no one knows his identity in his old school, no one knew of his past.

"He he he... It really does exist, doesn't it?" asked Kei quietly while he started to sit down.

("How is this? What leave it? Alright. It's just Tio's mom. Let's just hope he really keeps it just for himself.") Kei thought. Although it looks calm, Kei had thought of dangerous things there!!

"No, no. I'm not okay. But don't think about me. Anyway, leave Shiori's matter to me. I will try to get him back to how he was." Kei replied with a difficult expression, holding his head that looked dizzy.

"You're right to say that you're not okay!! Yahh, okay. If it were you, you would have done something. I will entrust Shiori to you, Kei!" tio replied while opening his eyes.

"Then, there's nothing to talk about anymore, right? I'll come out first, so we don't get suspected." said Kei, who started to stand up, stepping towards the door, looking tired.

"Wait, Kei." Tio prevented Kei from leaving.

"Humm??"

"Why? Why did you go this far for Shiori? Do you really like Shiori? What are you gonna do after this?" tanya Tio held Kei's hand, preventing him from leaving.

Normally, Kei would not answer this question, but seeing Tio's expression looking at him with attention and expectant eyes made him unable to leave her.

"Huff. Think of it as making amends for me." replied Kei, who then let go of Tio's hand holding him back, and left.

He closed the door of the UKS, stood in front of the door for a moment, taking a breath.

"If Shiori dies, I will blame myself as a Player. I don't want ordinary people to get hurt because of this." whispered Kei softly, as he walked away from the door of the UKS.

"It may sound naive, but I can only take care of as few victims as I can. At least before I die." he said, with a forced smile on his mouth.

Now, Kei knows a few things. First, the Player can be sure to have the skill to control people who may be very strong, so that the controlled are unaware and cannot fight it.

Secondly, the figure had started to bind Shiori since the Festival at school. Not only that, the incident happened outside the school, making the perpetrators more widespread.

Third, the way the perpetrator tied his target was with a kiss. And most importantly, she is a girl. This was quite interesting for Kei, as it was a fairly difficult method. And according to him, if the use is difficult, then the effect of the skill will be very large.

Fourth, and the most terrible for Kei. Kei did not know how many people the figure was controlling.

This was a terrifying power that could control people. If the one being controlled was a high-ranking person, he could have given a very chaotic order, such as wiping out a country, causing a World War.

In other words, the person who possessed this power could have the same strength as an army. That was why Kei could not directly fight this figure from the front.

Kei attempted to lure the user of this skill to a one-on-one fight with Kei. That way, Kei would obviously benefit.

"Huff. It might be dangerous, but I can't call Yuki right now, can I? I was a little scared, but how else" Kei said slowly, climbing the stairs leading up.

Ngiieeeett......

The sound of the door slightly creaking when opened sounded loud among the quiet roof of the school.

"I'm tired. I'm gonna take a nap." he said, closing the door, looking for a shady spot behind some big pipes laid out for the cooling system, so it's more shade there.

"At the end of school, I will wait for Shiori here" Kei said, closing his eyes.
