Shigeru: Ah... Good morning... Hiina-senpai..
Hiina: Ah, Shigeru-san... You're up early, are you okay?
Shigeru: I've had so much on my mind... I couldn't really sleep.
Hiina: Yeah... it's the same with me. So many things we don't know.
Insert: Two who are unable to calm their hearts, but...
Hiina: әnígmә's true form, motive... The meaning of the test and the existence of the Shadow...
Shigeru: And the passwords we got...
"Kurisu Ryou" "February 29th"---
SFX: PATAH
Shigeru: I wonder if they have some meaning... Like maybe they all have something in common----
SFX: GARAH

Sumio: Shigero, Hiina-san,
we're back!
Middle Insert: Return from the "ultimate two choices"!!
Bottom Box: Summary:
Summary: An e-test has been started by an existence known as әnígmә. With Sumio's group being met with the "ultimate two choices", using the President's "cubic subtraction" that can make objects smaller, they successfully escaped from the incinerator. And also obtained a password...
Shigeru: Ah... Sumio!
Matsurigi-san, too!
I'm so glad...! So you were okay!
Matsurigi: Yeah, sorry about that.
Sumio: Huh? Where's Mizusawa-san?
Shigeru: He just went out, he said he'd be right back... I think to the bathroom.
Sumio: All right...
SFX: Wai wai

Page 3:
Sumio: ----But, now we've got all seven people together again!
We have three password and still have 64 hours left! If this keeps up, we'll all be able to escape!
And so, we explained what happened to the two girls.
President's talent, "cubic subtraction"... and how we couldn't see what was inside the third password...
And... about the "Shadow"...!
Shigeru: The Shadow is... Human...!?
If we get carried off by it, we become Shadows...!?
SFX: ZAWA ZAWA (talking)
Sumio: Yeah... There are still many mysters surrounding the Shadow...
If the Shadow's human, then... who was the shadow who attacked us...!?

Page 4:
Sumio: By the "Shadow" being included in the rules... does that mean they're something setup by әnígmә...?
And the way President was suddenly changing into a Shadow... How if you swalow the capsule you get healed...
What exactly does "becoming a Shadow" mean...?
SFX: DONN
Sudou: Who the hell cares about the damn Shadow... Those things are nothing but obstacles!
What about the password? We've gotta hurry up and playback what's on the USB!
Sumio: That's right... First is the password!
We can do it, so we'd better!
Well, even if a Shadow does show up, as long as you're here, Moto, we'll manage somehow.
Moto: I-I told you not to expect anything from me...
SFX: PONN
Matsurigi: Haiba... Sorry, but I'd like to be able to rest for a bit...
Sumio: --Got it! I'm gonna go call on Mizusawa-sa, so you two stay here.

Page 5:
Matsurigi: ...Be careful, Haiba...
Make sure you don't... lose the passwords...!
Sumio: ?
Yeah... I've made sure to have all three with me.
I won't drop them or anything, so no need to worry!
SFX: PON PONN
Sign: Boy's Bathroom
Sumio: That's odd... he's not here.
I wonder where he went... that Mizusawa-san...
SFX: KIN...
Sudou: He double crossed us and tried to escape alone, didn't he?
Sumio: That can't be true... Takemaru-san.
SFX: BAH
Sudou: Why can't it be true...? Mizusawa's been hiding his face the whole time.
The fact that he wouldn't take that costume off is suspicious as hell... He's gotta have some reason he doesn't wanna show himself.
He still can't have gotten far.
Sumio: ................
SFX: TATATA...

Page 6:
Sumio: It can't be... Did Mizusawa-san...?
From how he talked, he didn't seem like he was the sort of person who'd be planning some---
SFX: GAH
Sumio: UOH!?
SFX: DOH
Shigeru: Are you okay, Sumio!?
Sumio: Yeah... I tripped on something----
Mi... Mizusawa-san!?
Shigeru: Th... This is Mizusawa-san's...!?
Moto: All that's inside is cotton... there's no person.
Where'd he go...!?
Sumio: Did something happen to Mizusawa-san...!?

Page 7:
SFX: PON PON...
SFX: PON... PON... PON...
SFX: KORO...
A...
A head...!?

Page 8:
Shigeru: KYAAA!!
Wh... What is this!?
SFX: KOH...
Guy: Everyone...
I'm sorry for surprising you...
But I'd like to come clean, now.

Page 9:
Kurisu: The true identity of Mizusawa Aru is----
me... Kurisu Ryou...!

Page 10;
Sumio: You're... the man from...
the password photo...!?
Shigeru: No way... how can this...
You said you're Mizusawa-san's true identity...!?
Kurisu: Yes...
It doesn't seem anyone realized it, though...
SFX: KONN...
SFX: BAH

Page 11:
Kurisu: Sorry for hiding,
Sumio-kun!
SFX: NIKOH
Kurisu: I haven't really had a good chance to talk to you.
No, this is a real relief.
SFX: GASH!
Sumio: Eh...?
Hiina: ----You were the guy in the costume...!?
Something... sort of changed about you...
Kurisu: Humans change every day.
Even you two get more beautiful with each passing day, don't you?
Sumio: H-Hey... What're you doing!?
SFX: BAH

Page 12:
Kurisu: Hm? Is there a problem?
Am I not allowed to talk to Hiina-chan or Shigeru-chan?
Shigeru: Wha...!?
SFX: KASHIH!
Moto: Mi... Mizusawa-san was this sort of person...!/
Sudou: ...............
SFX: SAWASAWA
Sudou: Hey, Mizusawa... No, Kurisu.
You ain't Mizusawa, so who exactly is "Mizusawa Aru"...?
I'm sure әnígmә called you "Mizusawa Aru"...!
Kurisu: Yes----- That's what caused everything.
әnígmә thought I was "Mizusawa Aru"----
It looks like I---
was mistaken for him, and forced to participate...!

Page 13:
Kurisu: In the middle of my part-time job dressed in that character costume,
and the next thing I knew I was sleeping on the gym floor...
SFX: PON...
Kurisu: ---In the beginning in the gym where he called everyone's names, I was the only one not called.
With my face being hidden, әnígmә mistook me for the real "Mizusawa Aru"!
Sumio: What... әnígmә made a mistake...?
That әnígmә that went this far to make his setup perfect...?
Sudou: Then why didn't ya say so earlier!?
Why'd ya sneak around hiding your identity!?
Kurisu: ----I thought of telling you a hundred times, but you know what happened...
President was carried off by the Shadow, and the whole scenario with the photo...
If I was careless about it, I thought you might expect I was әnígmә or something...
So it got harder and harder to tell you... I'm sorry.
SFX: BAH
Sumio: ............

Page 14:
Sumio: ---Even if we accept that you weren't Mizusawa-san,
Kurisu-san... Why was your name used as a password...!?
Sudou: You're an inside-man for әnígmә, ain't 'cha!?
Kurisu: I have no knowledge of it... really.
But... that's exactly what әnígmә wants, isn't it?
To make you think that I'm the culprit because I was brought along accidentally, and cause infighting.
He used me as a scapegoat...!
Sumio: .................. Could he be right, is this part of әnígmә's plan, too...!?
But... "Mizusawa Aru"...?
Sudou: Don't screw with us! All of this is just his testemony!
How the hell can we believe you without any actual proof!!?

Page 15:
Sudou: You bastard, hurry and tell us who you really----
Kurisu: It's true... believe me!
Sumio: Ta... Takemaru-san!
Let's trust him...!!
Kurisu-san has nothing to gain from this "confession"!
If he showed how he looked, like this, of course we'd be suspicious of him...
He'd be better off being polite and then try to sneak off alone to escape, right!?
Sudou: It could be to avoid the worst scenario of getting exposed mid-way though!
Sumio: Even so, the fact that he showed himself means that he has a will to cooperate!

Page 16:
Sumio: And what's with you, anyhow, Takemaru-san...!?
Why do you suspect people so much!? What on earth------
SFX: GANN
Shigeru: Kyaa!!
Sudou: ...Like hell I'm hanging around with a moron like this...!
I'm searching elsewhere!!
SFX :KAH KAH KAH

Page 17:
Moto: Hey...! Takemaru-san...!
Shigeru: Sumio...
Maybe we should leave him alone for now...
Hiina: But... I'm worried about leaving that way.
Moto: Eh...?
SFX: GUIH
Hiina: Let's go, Hasekura-san!
SFX: TATATA...
Moto: Wah... Hang on!
Owowowow, don't pull me!
Sumio: ----I understand Takemaru-san's point, too...
Maybe I'm being a little hasty to believe people so easily.
But... At this time more than any, I want to believe...!
Because unless we all trust each other, it's impossible for us all to escape!!

Page 18:
Shigeru: ...Sumio, how about for now we find a PC...
Sumio: Yeah, you're right.
SFX: KOH KOH
Shigeru; Huh...?
What's that pin on Kurisu-san's chest...?
Pin: It's the same one from Matsurigi's. It's just one kanji, meaning "association", I assumed it was an abbreviation for "kaichou" meaning president but I could be wrong, I guess.
Sumio: What do we do with this costume?
Shigeru: Eh? Ah...
Kurisu: We could just leave it. It's only getting in the way.
SFX: KOH KOH
Kurisu: Haiba Sumio... Thank you for believing me...
Your judgement is not incorrect... but, because of that---

Page 19:
Kurisu: You make me sick...!!
It's those guys that prattle on about "trust"
that you can trust the least!
Give it up... Because of that softheartedness
my goal will be carried out exactly as I planned it...!
And I ain't planning on getting out with everyone.
I alone, will without a doubt, escape!!
Insert: Kurisu Ryou... That plan is a call for chaos...!!
Bottom: әnígmә

Next issue, Kurisu starts to act... a tense center color!!
