Re: Zero Squid Game

Chapter 10: Chapter 8: Dalgona / Sugar Honeycomb (2)



After returning by death back in the red light green light game after he cracked his honeycomb and got shot, and Emilia asking the same question when she noticed that his expression was horrified, and eventually Subaru got over with it and started the entire Red Light Green Light over again, with the same casualties, the same lines, the same pre-discussions, votes, everything was just the same, but there was one major change before the second game.

"So, the second game is coming, do you know what will it be?.."

Felt asked Subaru, due to because she thought that he knows every game probably because of the red light green light where he shouted dozens of times, but he hesitated to speak, until spilling it out.

"Hard, fragile sugar.."

"Hard fragile sugar?.."

All of them thinked about it, seemingly to know that it was probably a new type of food.

"Hey Natsuki-san!, don't joke around now!–"

Otto's words cut off short when Subaru shouted, not too aggressive.

"It's TRUE!.."

They all flitched when Subaru suddenly screamed, he kept elaborating, and making the information in their head.

"You have to crave out the shape you have to pick, there was circle, triangle, star and umbrella!, if you break the shape, you're DEAD!!"

"So what nya saying is.."

They we're interrupted when felix came in the conversation, one by one their heads went to him.

"The easiest one is triangle?"

Subaru nodded.

"Yeah.."

Meanwhile the Frontman who was watching Subaru closely for the entire time in the scattered security cameras around the entire dormitory, was surprised that he knew the second game – it felt like his games wasn't even secretive anymore.. but he has already planned the games, and ready to make him suffer even if he knew the games..

The rectangular-like shaped doors opened when the Triangle guards went in first, the players following behind as they saw the shapes of Circle, Triangle, Star and Umbrella, Subaru was cautious of this and he knew that everyone needs to survive.

The setting of the second game still being Euphoric, but Subaru knew it wasn't a happy game they'd play, it was deadly.

"Subaru.. what do you think you'll choo–"

Emilia spoke while glancintat him for Subaru to choose, but her words was suddenly interrupted when Subaru shouted at everyone, having all of their attention.

"EVERYONE!, Choose the Triangle!, it's the easiest i swear!, don't even pick circle, star or either umbrella!, believe me!!"

Priscilla was quite annoyed by his attitude, screaming so suddenly making them flinch instinctively.

"Gosh.. what is that guy's problem?.."

Al scratched the back of his head.

"I'm not sure what Bro is up to.. but let's just pick Triangle if he says so."

"Ugh, whatever.."

She rolled her eyes in annoyance, thereafter, the PA woman announced it was times up for them to pick their shapes, and most of them picked the Triangle, but some who didn't trust Subaru picked either Circle or Star, the walls on the shape opens, the Umbrella being empty – Subaru grabbed the Silver steel circular plate from the Circle guard's hand, when he opened it, it's just a normal triangle, which gives him a light smirk that he can save mostly everyone.

The PA woman announced that the shape they have chosen are the shape they have to remove, the ones that didn't believe Subaru we're in disbelief, regretting their option, within the 8 minutes timer – many people passed, including Subaru and his teammates/allies.

Player 456, pass.

The ones who passed made their way downstairs, feeling that they wanted to trust Subaru more, but at the same time – puzzled on how does he know, the Frontman sighed behind the mask, until a loud gunshot was heard, someone had broken their candy, probably someone who didn't believe Subaru.

Afterwards, many players passed because of believing and trusting Subaru, but some who didn't still also passed despite choosing either circle or star, mostly, half of the people who picked star eventually got shot.

Garfiel putted his both hands on Subaru's shoulder, asking a question while walking downstairs.

"Yo' captain!, how'd ya' know that the easiest was Triangle?"

Subaru looked up at him, with a little chuckle.

"Probably something i know.. or something i have got when i was a kid.."

Beatrice who was holding Subaru's hand tightly, but with a firm grip, her hand soft.

"Good thing betty knows Subaru will be the master of those games i suppose."

Emilia and Otto agreed, that it was a good thing that Subaru knows those games in his childhood – to the fact they wanted to know Subaru better.

After the Honeycomb game ended, there was some loud gunshots heard on top of them, making them terrified, on the second game.. it was all bloodshed now, deceased players on the ground, motionless. The slide was splattered and bloody, the swing also got splattered with blood, and the same on the Jungle gym.

When they arrived at the Dormitory, most of them we're relieved and glad that they had choosen Triangle, thanks to Subaru, the ones who didn't choose Triangle we're in dispair, looking down, but they are also glad to themselves that they didn't die.

"I'm glad that we got lesser casualties rather then more."

Reinhardt walked towards Subaru while speaking with a genuine smile and a gentle tone, gratitude towards Subaru.

"Yeah, it's a relief."

Subaru gave a little smile, still thinking about his 2 deaths on the game for others to pass – he was not thinking about the gold coins anymore,or either become the king of Lugunica, he just wants his friends to be safe.
