[Fi] To think that people of those days constructed this...is amazing.

[Ka] Our separate histories that continued for a long time will finally end!!

Page 02

[Ka] It's the day of the reconciliation between the surface and Tiphares.

Page 03

[T] Someone chases the shadow of a lover,
[T] someone wishes for world change,
[T] someone must hold his own against a ghost of the past,
[T] they go toward the tower that rises to the skies...

Going astray without noticing it...was I affected by highway hypnosis?*
Somehow, I have a bad presentiment...

[fx] clang

[fx] thump thump

Is anyone
there?

A gnawed piece of bread...

[T] Highway Hypnosis: a phenomenon in which a person's consciousness degrades into a half asleep state when surrounded by a monotone scenery like a highway. The difference with the common nodding off is the fact that after the subject wakes up he hardly has any recollection of what happened.

[Ka] A half-eaten dinner...
[Ka] Just like the Mary Celeste...*

[fx] tick

[Ka] Strange...
[Ka] I can't read anything with my psychometry...*

[Ka] After we rest for a bit, we go searching for Marge and the oth...

[Ka] !?
[Ka] E-everyone...where're you!?

[T] Mary Celeste: a 1872 sailing ship that was drifting unmanned. It is said to be one of the greatest sail mystery of all times. Conan Doyle contributed to transform it into an urban legend after using it as subject to write a story.
[T] Psychometry: Kaos's special ability that reads past events from objects.

[No] Kyah ha ha ha ha ha!!

[No] Kyah ha ha ha ha ha!!
[Ka] N-Nova!!

[Ka] I...I was careless.
[Ka] I should've been warned of an attack when no one welcomed us...
[Ka] To think I walked nonchalantly into his trap...!!

Page 14

[No] Welcome to Tiphares!!
[No] I prepared a wonderful game for you!

[fx] turns on

[Ka] Koyomi-chan!
[Ka] Doctor Ido!
[Ka] Everyone!!

[Ka] I want you to play a game of chances
[Ka] risking the lives of the people showed on these monitors.

Page 15

[No] The game name is “Death Checker”.
[No] The rules are simple! You only have to press the “lifesaving button” during the time limit.

[Ka] Wh-who would ever play...
[Ka] such a foolish game...

[No] You also have the choice to “press no button”.
[No] What happens in that case?...Let's see it live.

[Ge] Yaaay!! Tiphares is miiine!
[x] That's no fair, Geppa!!

Page 16

[fx] boom

[x] Geppaaa!!
[No] Kyah ha ha ha ha.

[Ka] W-what have you done!!

[No] When you press the “landmine button” ...
[No] or like in this case, you don't press anything and the time limit expires...one person among them is going to die at random.

[No] Oh, and don't forget that you too are included among “them”.
[No] If you, the player, die, everyone dies.
[Ka] !!

Page 17

[No] Since eight persons remain, it'll be a game with eigth rounds in total.
[fx] tlak
[No] At the beginning the rate between “lifesaving buttons” and “landmine buttons” is 8/8, meaning you have a 50% chance.

[No] The buttons rate will decrease after you press either the “lifesaving” or the “landmine” ones.
[fx] beep
[No] Then... “Death Checker”, start!!

[Ka] Calm down...calm down...
[Ka] I've got psychometry...!!

[fx] lightly...

Page 18

[Ka] I can't...
[Ka] read anything!!
[fx] daaan

Page 19

[No] Kyah ha ha! You can't cheat!!
[No] Psychometry is an ability that reads the biomagnetism that is recorded in the scalar resonance field of materials!
[No] In order to proceed with the game in fairiness, the board is demagnetized!!

[Ka] Wait...
[Ka] Wait...!
[fx] pant
[Ka] There must be some other way...
[fx] pant
[fx] pant

[Ka] The...
[Ka] the time is...

[Ka] Wh-which button...

[Ka] must I press...!?
[fx] tremble tremble

Page 20

[fx] click

[Ka] …....

[fx] clap clap clap

[No] The lifesaving succeeded.
[No] It ended with no one dying.

[No] Though it was only the first round, you're so agitated.
[No] I can tell it's going to be hard going.

[No] Seven rounds remaining.
[No] Should we continue the game!?

[T] Next chapter on tuesday 22/10.




- I fixed the footnotes;
- the name of the game is "desuchekkaa" in original. Because it's something made by Desty Nova, I first translated it as Des Checker, but since it's an actual game of death, I went with Death Checker;
- that's all, folks!

[litchi master]

Thank you very much!!!
it has felt so long since the last chapter

on another note: spoiler(I guess) but if you got here you have already read the chapter so....

Spoiler:

Yeah crazy Nova is back!!!!

[HumanRage]

thanks !

so... Srsly, that nova is still screwing up with everyone's mind ?

[othergrunty]

Well, guess it was just a matter of time until that version would turn the people around him into puppets.

Seriously hope he hasn't killed everyoe.

The shadowy hand behind Ido seems to have a strangely big knuckle at the thumb? Could it be mechanical?

[AR-99]

The only good Nova is a dead Nova? Ping's handheld version is the only one so far that helped out and didn't try to turn things to his own advantage.

The two big cyborgs BTW (Geppa and Tankua) are Vector's goons who were about to beat up Kaos until he got the paper airplane.
