>>5789173It’s Yuna’s turn next since she lasted the longest. She has a more reasonable power level for this game, actually making it feel like a game and not a merciless assassination simulator. You’re the second to last one to go down, in a comical scenario where she knows vaguely where you’re probably at but can’t pinpoint your exact location because you’re scuttling around behind a trash can like a crab avoiding her line of sight while she circles around the area looking confused. You only lose because you eventually can’t help but giggle at her, getting caught and earning a rock lightly bouncing off your forehead while she pouts. Junpei is completely gone and only shows up again when Yuna loudly announces that he wins.

It’s your turn next because everyone unanimously agrees that Junpei is too good.
Katsuro goes down first because he’s sitting on a bench out in the open hiding his face with a newspaper.
Masami goes down second because you make eye contact with her while she’s trying to dig her way under some filthy-looking leaves and gunk built up against a fence and she’s too humiliated to even try and run from you.
Daigo goes down next because he’s not even trying to hide at all and just relying on outrunning you and avoiding your rocks. You manage to get him because while he’s running he collides with an older man because he’s not looking where he’s going. You tap him with a rock while he’s apologizing profusely.
Yuna goes down last because she’s doing some crazy shit where she’s lurking underwater in a fountain, breathing through a fast-food straw for air access. You only find her because a little kid is laughing at her and trying to splash water into her straw at the fountain. She comes up sputtering and coughing while you wait for her to surface and tap her forehead with a rock while she waives you off.
Junpei is fucking invisible and you give up on him, but you do manage to catch him silently drop down from a tree like a cat when you announce that you give up.

Shizuka is eventually released from prison and gets shanghaied immediately for some ramen by Katsuro, signaling an end to the game. She explains that Juro-Sensei investigated her background at length, insisting that she must have been raised by circus clowns before making her copy facts out of a textbook for the time that she’s been gone.
The group of you assemble at a ramen stand, where Daigo insists on paying because he gets a pretty good allowance. Yuna buys Shizuka a second bowl when she still looks hungry, and the conversation generally pertains to people pestering Junpei about how he became some kind of super soldier.
