The Death Game System
Chapter 8 - Emergency Quest!!

"I just spoke because it was too dreamy! So, what should I buy? I don't have anything special to buy in Shibuya. How'this?" yuna asked as she wriggled restlessly in her room.

He took a cell phone, then opened up a few things, searched the search engine for some things he thought could be made excuses.

His hands quickly searched and skimmed one by one blogs on the internet, exploring and learning it quickly. His eyes moved to the right and to the left, looking for something that he thought fit. Until finally his eyes stopped and grew slightly.

"Ahh, cafe? Humm new menu. Yep! Let's make that an excuse!" said Yuna.

She looks panicked, because basically she rarely travels with her family, especially with her brother. Kei has always been known as a person who likes to shut himself up, and busy with his own world. Even Yuna and Lina, her mother was quite worried about her child.

Yuna changed her clothes, and took her small bag. It contained money and some other things like cell phones and some things that men would not know.

"Sister! Buy me a parfait at this cafe!" yuna said when she met Kei who was waiting for her below.

"Did? A parfait? Why do we have to leave now? Is it a limited edition? Can we go tomorrow?" asked Kei with a confused face.

In any case, Kei tried to stop Yuna, preventing this Quest from taking place. Kei already knew the punishment if he failed to do this Quest.

Kei looked up, looking at Yuna's cell phone which was displaying a Parfait with some topping that looked good. Besides, a cute appearance is also one of my pull parfait's.

"Humm? We're not leaving? Is there a problem?" yuna asked calmly.

Even so, the look on his face changed, and Kei realized that. Looking at his sister who looked sad, Kei could not feel heavy because of it.

"Y-yeah, you could say that..." Kei smiled strangely.

"Hehh... What is that with Myan? That's really disturbing. But then how else. You never promised to treat me, so I'll go alone." Yuna replied.

It made Kei widen his eyes immediately. Originally, he wanted to persuade Yuna not to leave today, avoiding the Quest punishment.

But it turns out that this can't be stopped easily. Now, Kei asked, is it so strong his sister's determination to eat parfait in the cafe? But he finally breathed, and gave up.

"Alright, Yuna. I'm coming! Let me come along. A-ahh, that... Yep!! You know, it's Sunday, and Shibuya will be crowded. And you know your brother. I can't stand a crowded place." Kei said grinning while looking for an excuse.

"But let's just say it's a payment for the one, so that's fine." continued Kei with a thumbs up.

It made Yuna's expression instantly bright.

(Yahh, nothing will happen if we avoid a strange path, or some flag that triggers bad things to happen.") Kei thought.

That way, they went to the cafe that sold the limited edition Parfait.

("I don't understand why women like sweet foods like Parfait. It's just, you know? Parfait is quite expensive. In addition, it contains a lot of sugar, which will definitely make you fat. Aren't women afraid they're gonna be fat?") ask Kei in your heart.

(You don't understand, Master. Women always have a special place for sweet foods. And don't say the word fat to women. It is a forbidden word.) Yuki answered him.

"By the way, Yuki. Do you know where that's gonna happen?" kei asked whispering.

(I don't know, Master. I can only say, please be careful.) Yuki replied.

"It seems like we haven't been together for a long time. It feels a little strange when now we're going to go to a cafe together." Yuna tried to start the conversation.

"Well, maybe it's true. You didn't ask me to leave, you know? You've been out watching movies a lot, but you've never even invited me. So who's wrong here?* Kei replied while crossing her arms.

"Who knows you like that kind of thing? I guess big brother just likes things like novels and games!!" answer Yuna.

They both stopped at the bus stop. Of course this is a bus stop that Kei does not forget, because the magic thing he experienced all this time started from here.

Kei again looked at the clock on his smartphone. It shows at 07:26. As usual, it made her feel nostalgic.

After waiting a few minutes, the bus arrived. They just don't talk too much to each other. On Kei's side, he was very focused on guarding Yuna, so he watched the motions of everyone on the bus.

And on the other hand, Yuna felt a bit nervous, as she rarely went with her brother.

"Yuki's. It's really safe. I don't know if the threat will actually come. Besides, it's a public place. There's no way anyone would dare to be like that, right?" whispered Kei.

(That's true. But the Quest would not give a wrong clue. If that's the description, then it's really going to happen.) Yuki replied.

Kei put on a confused face now. But still he watched the surroundings closely.

"Sister? Who are you talking to? Imaginary friend?" yuna asked arrived.

?!!

Suddenly, the sound of mechanical music that Kei was very hoarse was heard.

[Quest Emergency! Prevent Lina Kanata from taking the train at Shinjuku station! Deadline: 08:00. Difficulty level: A. Points: 40. Punishment if it fails: Lina Kanata's death.]

It was like lightning striking Kei in the scorching sun. He seemed to have lost his strength, staring blankly at Yuna.

Kei kept trying to tear apart his thoughts, recalling the voice he heard in his head. But what he remembered was no different. Precisely because of that, he became more and more aware of what the Game announcement just said.

"Yuki's... Did I not hear wrong?" inevitably, Kei tried to make sure.

(No, Master.) Yuki replied with a heavy tone of heart.

Kei took a deep breath, and stared at the sky of the bus. Her hands clenched firmly, signaling her true emotions were rising right now, but she was still trying to calm down and not attract the attention of others or perhaps Yuna.

"Is the Lina Kanata that the Quest is referring to is my mother?" asked Kei again, still in disbelief.

(There is no doubt, Master. I have also been informed about this Quest. According to the information, the train was going to be hijacked by someone, and he took hostages. And the hostage is Lina Kanata, Master's mother.) Yuki replied, making things clear.

Kei's angry gnashing teeth were not restrained anymore, and he was already unable to hold back his emotions any longer.

"Damn!!" Kei shouted furiously, then ran towards the bus door quickly. He even forgot he was with Yuna right now.

"Sister! Where are you going?!!" Yuna immediately stopped her brother.

"Sir, sorry. But I have to get down here. It's an emergency!" kei's permission to the driver in front. The driver looked at him confused, but according to seeing Kei's angry face.

The bus dropped Kei and Yuna off on the sidewalk, in front of a small, less crowded shop. You could say, it was deserted.

"Hey hey hey! What's up here? Why did you come down and curse like that? Is there something emergency? If there is, tell me!!" yuna shouted. He looked towards Kei, who looked rushed.

("Yuna is awesome. He could tell what was going on just by looking at my face. But anyway she wouldn't believe it if I told her. How say..")

Kei's mind was now in turmoil, because of the notification earlier. It was the same as a threatening letter, which said that someone would kill his mother if he did nothing.

Meanwhile, he also had to explain to Yuna, there was no way Kei could calm down with it all.

("No, since the beginning, can I explain this Death Game to Yuna? Wouldn't that just put Yuna in danger?") ask Kei again in his heart.

"You won't understand, Yuna" said Kei then ran away leaving Yuna who looked at Kei away, sculpting.

Yuna daydreamed for a while, until Kei finally disappeared from her sight. After that, he only realized that he was left behind by his brother.

"Heh?! What does it mean I won't understand? What business is it? Uhhh!! I really don't understand!! It's good that I'm after him!! With big brother's stamina, he's definitely not far away!!" yuna shouted as she prepared a hand, then prepared to run after Kei.

But in fact, Kei continued to run tirelessly, even faster every time he looked at his cellphone, checking what time.

"Yuki! Try repeating the Quest details!" yelled Kei while running.

(Good. Quest said to prevent Lina Kanata from boarding the train. Time limit sam-)

"Enough, thank you. Meaning, all we have to do is prevent mom from getting on that train, right? We didn't make Mom cancel the trip?" sela Kei's.

(You are the correct Master. But.).

"Yes. My mom is a very hard worker. He doesn't want to be late for work even in his life. He definitely wouldn't want it if I persuaded him to use another transportation. How, Yuki. Do you have any ideas?!" kei asked Yuki.

They both like reading each other's minds, and can work together well, like they have known each other for a long time.

That was why Kei asked Yuki for advice.

(I have a few ways, Master. But it's quite risky. Besides that.) Yuki sounded doubtful.

(It looks like the description of the first Quest is starting to happen now, Master.) Yuki said. It instantly made Kei stop, and widened his eyes, startled.

Her brain that stopped thinking after hearing the news of something bad happening to Lina returned to thinking clearly after receiving Yuki's warning. It also made her remember why she went out today, why she was planning to head to Shibuya today.

"Yuna!!!"
