What are you doing?!
My name is Sigma.
Frankly, I'm just average college student. That is, until I came here.
When I woke up my head hurt horribly.
Where am I?
If you look, you'll now right?
Who are you?!
I am... Phi.
This is how we met.
What is this?
It's useless. When you were sleeping, I tried the same.
***! How frustrating and irritating!
Who the hell would do this and for what sake?!
Hey! How do you feel now that you've slept?
What the hell are you?
My name is Zero III, I am the king of this country!
Welcome to Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition! If you don't get out of here in 9 minutes, you won't have your life anymore.
So... see you again!
It was a tight pinch, but we managed to get out.
Hey! Hurry up already!
Don't be so pushy. You're getting on my nerves.
In front of us, there were people in the same situation as us.
Hey, can you tell us what's going on?
We don't know. We just came in too, from that elevator.
You were kidnapped too, right?
Kidnapped...?
Oh, that's right. When I came back from college, there were some strange guys and they knocked me off with some white smoke...
That also happened to us.
The last thing we remember was white smoke and we woke up in one of those elevator...
None of you were together?
No. Mr. Dio and I were in one elevator, but as for the others...
Wait. Dio is...
That's me. This boy is Quark.
Quark - a curious yet reckless boy. Even though he is only 10 years old, he possesses a high level of knowledge.
Dio - An aloof and eccentric with brash and rude mannierisms who follows his own rhytm.
And the other three are...
Tenmyouji, Alice and Luna who woke up in different elevators, right?
Yes, excactly.
You are Tenmyouji?
Who else would I be?
Tenmyouji - a stubborn and hard-headed old man. He treats everyone offensively and holds a lot of distrust.
And Alice and Luna are...?
I am Alice.
Alice - an exotic and *** woman with a few secrets of her own.
And this is Luna.
Nice to meet you! Please, treat me kindly!
Luna - A polite and refined doctor. If an argument should arise, rather than start panicking, she acts as mediator.
Everyone seems somewhat suspicious.
It's pretty sudden, but can we see your watch?
They look all the same, but colors of numbers are different.
Quark's and mine are blue.
- And ours are.. - I wonder if it means something.
Sigma and I are the red pair. Dio and Quark are blue pair.
It could be that we have the same colours, because we came from the same elevator.
But Tenmyouji, Luna and I are solo and yet...
So the three of you woke up alone? But what does it mean to be pair or solo?
Who knows?
What?
None of us knows the meaning, right?
Or whether is meaning to the numbers on the watches.
Basically, even if we can guess what they mean, we essentially have no way to confirm it.
I wonder if it has to do with that game...
Game? Come to think of it... that rabbid mentioned something about it.
Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition!
Did you guys see it too? That rabbid thing?
I saw it in the elevator.
It told us it's AI, artificial intelligence, being stored inside computer.
So it means it's following someone's orders, right?
But who the heck would do something like that...
It sounds like one of those generic masterminds who entertains themselves by watching this kind of scene while drinking tea...
It might be possible, but it doesn't rule out possibility that Zero is one of us.
If we consider what Phi said, then anyone of us could be Zero *** responsible for all of this.
Because of that, we started to doubt and mistrust each other.
Clover!
Who the hell are you?! And what's with the getup?!
I am...
Who am I, indeed?
What's that meant to mean?
You don't remember anything?
I cannot seem to recall anything.
Well, that creates a problem. What are we supposed to call you?
Indeed. Then, if you could call me K...
K - It's as if he's a robot. With rational and logical mannierisms, he is an enigma of man.
Clover....
Alice...
Clover - Like a little demon she is a sly girl who speaks her mind.
You guys know each other?
The two of us met in Nevada Desert a year ago. Ever since, we've been friends.
I never thought you'd be here too.
Why are we here?
Somebody called Zero kidnapped all of us into this Nonary Game.
Nonary Game?! No way... it can't be...
The girl's eyes are wide open. Does she know anything?
Everyone's finally here! Welcome to my kingdom!
We had no clue what was that thing planning to do to us all. Apparently, rules of the game are...
Once our bangle points on our watches reach 9 , then that person may leave through the door marked with 9.
On the other hand, if we fail...
You'll just die!
So... just what is this game?
Well, you see it's...
What happened?!
What's going on...
Two minutes remain until Ambidex Game voting closes.
All players please make their decisions.
This is the Ambidex Game. Now then everyone, let's start the game!
And from then on, absurd game started.
In Ambidex Game two people can enter Ambidex Room as long as they have the same watch colour and are in [pair].
Objective is simple. You choose "ally" or "betray" against partner with with [solo].
Depending on what you and your partner selects, your BP may either increase or decrease. But that wasn't all.
If you both select "ally" both will increase.
If one picks "ally" and the other chooses "betray", then one who chose "ally will lose 2 points, while person who chose "betray" gains 3 points.
You understand the meaning of this game, right? If you don't do well... you'll die!
Ambidex Game voting ends in 20 seconds.
Sigma, there's no time. Choose betray.
Why?! If I choose it...
Because we still don't trust each other. What if our partner chooses to "ally" but the other chooses "betray"?
10 seconds remain.
That's what I mean! Why?!
If either of us betrays each other now, the other will lose 2 point, leaving 1 point left.
Basically, you'll have no more points afterwards.
Hurry!
Choose "betray", Sigma!
I... I... I'll...
Will you choose to be a good person and "ally"? Or... Will you "betray" and sacrifice others for your sake?
