He wasn't sure if he was really ready, but Kaoru hadn't woken up when he entered the room apprehensively and uneasily.

"Sasaki-kun!"

Kaoru's mother, who saw Shota come in, stood up and turned her face sideways to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What did the doctor say?"

Looking at her face, Shota's head suddenly went blank, and it was clear that he had imagined the scene outside the door countless times before and had also spoken the lines, and now only a big question mark remained.

How so? What do doctors say?

The silence lasted for a while, until Shota couldn't bear the pressure from his heart.

"The doctor said that the surgery was a success, and then they will prepare for a second operation for follow-up treatment."

After saying this, he suddenly seemed to have unloaded all the burdens on his body, and when he saw the smile on her face, Shota's heart began to feel a strong sense of guilt, and now he just wanted to get out of here quickly.

"Now that this place has been taken care of, I'll leave first, hoping that my aunt won't tell Kaoru about my visit."

"Why is that?"

When she raised her head and looked at Shota with a puzzled expression, he had already pushed the door straight away and just wanted to chase her out, when Kaoru woke up.

He looked around with a weak expression, then at his mother.

"What's the matter, Mom, has anyone been here?"

Faced with her daughter's questioning and what Shota said before leaving, she stood in the middle and didn't look back until Kaoru snorted in pain again, and she turned around suddenly.

"No, no one has come. It's just you and me here. ”

……

"Damn bastard, I don't know if the elderly should take a break! If I die, I see you ......."

In a simple house made of cardboard boxes in the corner of the venue, the old man scolded with a complaining face, but this time he decisively changed his tone when he saw Shota's eyes.

"You came to me in broad daylight, is there anything important?"

"I want money! It costs a lot of money. ”

……

"Listen, if you regret it, it's too late."

This time, the competition venue was changed again, and the place where the backstage was resting turned out to be in the operation room of a slaughterhouse, and Shota could even see the blood clots on the ground that had not been washed clean when he hung his head.

"Is there really that much money here?"

Seeing that he didn't answer himself but continued to ask questions, the old man was so angry that he almost exploded.

Although the underground black fist comes with money quickly, there is a certain limit, well, he really has no way to accept the price offered by Shota.

In the end, under the threat of changing families, the old man was forced to help him contact this game called Feast of Death.

"Listen, this so-called feast of death is actually a game of death.

There are a total of 11 people competing against you in the ring here, and each of them is worth 700,000 yen, and if you can beat all of them in the ring, you will get a total of 7.7 million yen, provided that you survive until that time. ”

The old man had other emotions in his words, but seeing that Shota was silent, he endured it and continued to explain.

"It's the most expensive race I've ever found, listen. If you want to get these 7.7 million yuan, you must be the first to play, and win all 11 people in the end, you can still stand in the ring, I ...... I'm going to be crazy! ”

While the old man was still explaining to him, suddenly the whole person exploded. With a yelling of insults, he turned around and kicked the bucket on the ground, spilling the water on the ground.

"Are you particularly sick in the brain, I told you that if you want to make money, we can take our time, and you are completely going to die, you know!!

Do you know what kind of guys you are facing on stage, some of them are murderers, some are special forces soldiers with heavy violent tendencies, but without exception they are all murderers who don't blink, you ......"

"The doctor said she was running out of time."

Just one sentence quickly quieted the atmosphere in the whole room, and even the extremely angry old man was about to say something more, but after Shota said this, he was instantly silent.

As if thinking of something, he came to Shota with a gloomy face and sat down, his hands crossed together and stared at his palms blankly, and no one broke the silence at this moment.

"No one has made it to the final ring alive so far, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I don't have a choice."

Shota's words touched the old man again, and his hand shook suddenly, and then he turned around and looked at Shota deeply.

"I guess you don't need help with this game, is there anything else you need me to help bring to the others?"

"...... the words, let's forget it."

"Well, then I'll wish you the best of luck."

……

"Good evening, dear friends! Welcome to the ring where the death rate is 100 percent, I'm your old friend Jimmy!

Here you have everything you want in the darkness, here you can enjoy death, blood, stumps and the indispensable moving wails, here you can unleash the wild beasts within you, now......

Are you ready!! ”

Rumble!

The skyrocketing gasoline barrels spewed flames, and everything around them was illuminated by darkness in the raging fire, and Shota saw the ring below.

Unlike previous rings, this time the so-called ring was made up of a pile of scrapped and rusted car frames, with a layer of blurry colors on which it was impossible to see whether it was blood or paint.

When he was in the middle of it, feeling his surroundings, it wasn't so much the ring that he felt the word Colosseum should be more appropriate here.

"See that bandage freak down there, he's the first one to show up tonight. We all know that the first person to come on the stage at a death banquet is often the first to be disposed of, so let's wait and see how many levels he can get to the first level.

Race...... Begin!!! ”

There were no referees, no spectators, and even the narrator's voice was coming out of the stereo outside, and Shota looked around nervously.

He hadn't noticed anything other than the gasoline drums that were still burning and baking him, and it was the first time he had seen this kind of competition, which made him suspect that the organizers were coming.

Just as he was looking around, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from behind the flames, and Shota followed the sound to see that a guy had come out of the darkness.

Wearing a black jacket with a distinctly European face, isn't it too hot in this weather? Shota, who had been sweating a lot, looked at him and slowly took a few steps back.

“shit！ The liquor here tastes like shit, what a garbage place! ”

Hearing this, Shota noticed that this guy was still carrying a wine bottle in his hand. I'll go, what the hell is this ring match.

"Are you my opponent today? Look at your body shape is either a child or a woman, rest assured.

I'm a gentleman, and I won't do anything to children and women, because they are my favorites! ”

Damn perverts!

Shota immediately classified him into the damn category, and just as he was about to find a way to find his flaw, the guy suddenly stopped in front of Shota, and then the whole person stood straight and bowed down towards Shota.

"Please advise!"

I didn't expect to be a conservative person, and when I saw him bowing, Shota also put away his movements and was about to salute him, but I didn't expect that I just lowered my head and suddenly heard a cruel laugh above my head.

"You're done now!!"
