Puzzle (パズル)

Students of Tokumen High School

We have taken control of the school

From hereon, we hope you can play a game with us

There are 2000 puzzle pieces hidden around the school

You have to find all the pieces and complete the puzzle

However, the time limit is 24 hours, up till tomorrow noon

If you are unable to complete the puzzle, the hostages will be killed

The price for violating the rules

Is to kill a hostage first

Wait

Let's see who still dares to violate the rules

Mitome-kun

Look, this is me right?

This is the Year 1 photo

Now we know the complete puzzle picture

The last piece is Mitome-kun

How ironic

I totally forgot that this was in my pocket

Locker key?

Please

What were you thinking of near the completion of the puzzle?

I've always wanted to win over Yuasa

But at that time it didn't matter anymore

It wasn't about overcoming Yuasa

But to become a gamer who finds the puzzle pieces

Moreover, this was not a game

I gradually had this feeling

People are not chess pieces of a game

But are made of flesh and blood

I always thought that doing something for others is very troublesome

And also a waste of time

But now I feel that it is not a bad thing

Although it may be unbelievable

I enjoyed it a bit

Tokumen High School does not have

culture festival, sports festival, or school trips

That's why this was a first experience

In the process of finding the puzzle pieces

Everyone, including me, were changing

Mmm

Then tell me what happened later

Yes

Everyone of Class A

How is it?

Did you have fun playing?

Then let's hear the result

Have you all completed the puzzle?

We...

...haven't.

Please

That's a pity

So that's to say you are useless

And that means we have won the game

According to the rules

It's time for this person to die

Please wait!

That's enough

It's time for you to reveal your true faces

All of you should have already known right?

Yuasa

You are...

Long time no see

Very shocked?

You immediately start to confront them

These people who have left Tokumen High School

You did not contact or meet them even once right?

Yes

If you had not seen their photos during the game

you probably won't even remember how they look

Yes

To you, are they a forgotten existence,

Or do you feel sad thet they are criminals?

Looking at the Year 1 photo

I then recalled that we were once friends

Why would friends become like this?

Mmm

That I only remembered them when this case happened

is such a sad thing

But you also realized another truth right?

Mitome Naoya, you're one of them aren't you?

Meeting me yesterday morning

Was not a coincidence

That was also a part of your plan right?

He's dead

You did not die at all

How can this be possible?

You're kidding, right?

You really live up to your name, Yuasa-kun

Proves that you observed very closely

However it's a pity

There is still one piece left

But just as you said

This was going according to our plan

If you think in this way

It's still our victory

No...

What the hell?

Quit joking!

That means not only did we play a losing game, we were also cheated

It's not a losing game

I gave you a chance

But you did not complete the puzzle

All your efforts are wasted

Tell me, where is the last puzzle piece?

You want to know? Take a look in your pocket

Yuasa-kun

Why?

You had such a good chance

You are the ones who made this 24 hours worthless

You ended up with such a result

How did this happen?

Haven't you understood yet?

There's someone working for us amongst you

This person put this puzzle piece in your pocket

Nakamura-san, why is it a puzzle game?

Why did the criminals want us to do this?

We'll surely know the answer once we have found the puzzle pieces

Yuasa-kun

She always followed me

When everyone wanted to quit

She always helped me gather everyone together

I never thought that she will....

Why?

You have been cheating us all this time?

So what?

There's no need to tell you the reason

We have already told you from the start

This is a game

This is more meaningful than a game right?

Hey, hurry and end this

That's right, the time is up

Lastly, let me tell you the answer

It's real this time

Teacher

Stop!

Let everyone hear your thoughts

What is the feeling to be killed by students whom you sacked?

No, don't kill me! I beg you!
