The "perpetuity" in the Rules is just a front.

A smokescreen for the real plan.

I'm certain of it.

When only the strong remain,

Kenjaku will drop a bomb,

and then the Culling Game will have served its purpose.

We don't know what that bomb is.

And its detonation won't be far off.

It could be right now.

That's why we gather strong allies

and stockpile points in preparation.

There are a few things I want to ask.

I don't think she's that strong.

She is bait. She lures players here with whatever excuse works.

Women draw less suspicion.

And when she's no use, you kill her and turn her into points.

What are you talking about?

That's not true.

Mr. Reggie is my true knight.

As long as I serve him, he'll protect me!

You're delusional.

You and your allies together make 100 points, right?

That's about right.

A new rule is being added soon.

It will allow point transfers between players.

Hand over

all your points.

Negotiations have broken down…

What?

Hey!

Nue!

Don't ever show me that face again.

Oh, I see…

Thought you were soft. I guess you can't kill her.

You want our points, right?

But…

if you're not ready to kill,

you'll regret it once you're dead.

Hey!

I'm still here, you know?

IORI HAZENOKI POINTS OWNED-35

Did he die?

Are you sure?

GASOLINE RECEIPTS

That smell!

Done already?

REGGIE STAR POINTS OWNED-41

Not yet. Like you,

he ducked into the room right before the blast.

He's good…

But I bet we shaved off a decent chunk.

You see now, right?

They've got no intention of protecting you.

If you get it, then get lost!

Give it a rest.

Then say it!

Mr. Reggie said it!

Say you'll protect me!

Say you like me!

Say it!

There are people like you.

Trash who thinks words

matter more than actions.

Hey, thanks for earlier…

But man, you're wrecked.

CHIZURU HARI POINTS OWNED-28

Climbing back up here is not easy, you know.

Use the stairs, caveman.

Ring-ring!

A rule has been added

to the Culling Game by a player.

PLAYERS MAY VIEW OTHERS' NAMES, POINTS, NUMBER OF RULE ADDITIONS, AND COLONY

RULE TEN-A PLAYER MAY TRANSFER ANY NUMBER OF POINTS TO ANOTHER PLAYER

Rule ten.

Players may transfer

any number of points to other players.

What the hell is this rule?

Max Elephant!

Again?

Damn you!

What am I… doing?

We'll still need points going forward.

But Tsumiki won't be forced to kill anyone anymore.

Don't rush it. Trust everyone.

Don't obsess over their points.

I just have to give it everything

and brush off what comes my way.

Five points have been added.

What a waste of points.

Getting killed before you even use your technique is pathetic.

Did Remi retire?

Even if she did, it's two on one.

Damn it. That first bombing really did a number on me.

Running is not an option…

Should I use… my domain?

But my domain is incomplete.

I can't seal the barrier shut and trap them inside.

If they escape and I blow it,

a rematch is the worst-case scenario.

That was…

close!

Two on one…

You really think…

that's a fair split?

You know what people call guys like you?

Right. Cowards.

A coward's attack doesn't work.

Look!

Damage zero!

FUMIHIKO TAKABA POINTS OWNED-0

Kid, I'll back you up.

I'm 35.

One look at someone's face, and I can tell if they're bad.

What is this?

You've got a pretty nasty face too!

What?

Whatever.

It's relative grading. Yutori.

Isn't Yutori about absolute grading?

He covered for me.

For now, I can trust him, right?

What do you think, Hazenoki?

Never seen him. Faster to just ask.

Hey!

Which side are you on?

I see…

So you're asking…

if I'm funny…

or not… right?

No. What era are you from--

This costume is based on a hero

who taught me what "laughing hard" really means.

So I can't mess up a joke

in this thing!

Here's a gag I just came up with.

Use it in front of the girl you like.

CURSED

Something is coming.

Mind your own Wi-Fi!

You lousy audience!

Sometimes, there are guys like you!

You forgot how to smile,

yet you sit front row at a show!

That's your problem.

But I…

He reminds me of him.

Even so, I won't abandon you!

Because I'm…

a comedian…

He's fast. His cursed energy spiked fast.

The output is swinging wildly.

- This guy… He's strong… - Be careful.

I'm an old-school comedian

who is pro-violence.

So, what will you do, kid?

- I'm splitting them up. - Yes.

Hazenoki's technique probably turns parts of his body into bombs.

- Also, using reverse cursed technique… - Yes.

- Too close! - Yes.

- Kogane! - Aye!

Pull up Hiromi Higuruma's info!

It was Itadori who added the rule…

HIROMI HIGURUMA-100 POINTS TOKYO COLONY

I'm done with this colony.

If you back off, I'll let you go.

What?

Who are you to say that?

I'm collecting the points from Hari, whom you killed.

- You. - I'm Takaba!

If you're going to kill that bomb guy,

do it, if you can.

But first, take his points.

Okay, kid.

I've heard your request loud and clear.

But I'm a comedian.

I won't do something that steals someone's smile forever!

Do anything as long as you win.

That's a dangerous technique.

Fire in the hole!

However!

In variety TV…

He's gone…

Red is off-limits, buddy!

Don't mess with me!

Glad Takaba wasn't an enemy.

That's a line I've always wanted to hear!

See you, kid. Don't die!

He died, didn't he?

Getting mocked like that will make Hazenoki get serious.

Worry about yourself. I told you, right?

I've already achieved my goal in this colony.

I can fight for real now. No holding back.

Max Elephant!

So, you've got that too?

You've figured out my technique.

But drowning me is a bit too obvious, isn't it?

Materializing what's on receipts…

Strictly speaking, that's not it, but…

That's right.

It's hard to put into words, but…

it's more like "recreating contracts."

Meaning I can do this too.

Contractual Re-Creation!

RECEIPT HOSHIZORA TEI

What I just used

was a receipt for a five-star inn, Hoshizora Tei.

Two nights, three days,

with an oil treatment included.

So right now, I'll be soaking in a hot spring real slow, loosening up,

then getting two solid days of good sleep and rest.

Compared to you, how about you?

You're hurt from the last fight,

using multiple shikigami, and you're exhausted, right?

I use multiple shikigami at once, all the time.

The problem is that Max Elephant

is in that mix, while it is meant to be used alone.

You summon and dismiss shikigami fast,

but once one has been damaged, it doesn't work like that, right?

You can't bring out the dog that can run, attack, and defend.

So you're stuck

combining single trick shikigami.

Neither of us has some big move to finish this match.

You're done.

No way you can kill me.

You're right. So I'm going to run.

What?

Not happening.

MOBILE PHONE RECEIPT

14:02 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND

A gymnasium, huh…

Are you just running, or are you trying to lure me?

I could smoke you out with fire,

but playing tag again sounds like a pain.

So, what will I do?

All right. Just like I pictured it.

It's the perfect size.

What are you plotting, you little brat?

You are the one who has set something up, aren't you?

Sorcerers live and die by lying.

What I recreate is basically like shikigami.

So I can give it simple commands.

A kitchen knife doesn't usually fly around on its own, right?

This is probably pointless with you,

but I'll ask anyway.

If you hand over your points, I'll make it quick.

Barrier techniques are tough, aren't they?

No matter how long I try,

I can't get a feel for layering

a scaled-down pseudo space over real space.

So…

Don't tell me…

I'm going to repurpose this gym's space

as my domain.

You can do that?

Domain Expansion.

Chimera Shadow Garden.

DOMAIN EXPANSION CHIMERA SHADOW GARDEN

So you are already such an advanced sorcerer…

I never said I didn't have…

a big finishing move.

Even unfinished, a domain’s a domain.

Bring out your "trump card"

- and activate it! - Not yet.

- Hang in there. - I’ll give it to you.

Let’s see who breaks first!

Then break already!
