Re: Zero Squid Game

Chapter 9: Chapter 7: Dalgona / Sugar Honeycomb



All players went to the eerie staircases, the atmosphere was a little tense but also quite calming as they climb up for the next game, aware of the danger.

Meanwhile many of the circle guards we're working to prepare the players in the second game, stirring and heating sugar – most likely a sugar honeycomb, with the square guard patrolling for them to keep working and not get distracted by any noises or commotions.

As the triangle guards walked at first, the players following behind we're amused and surprised of the area – it was filled with fake cloud like sort of painting in the wall, and it has a playground like structure, having a jungle gym, a swing and a slide having some fences glued sticked on the wall, it had a crepuscular vibe to the players, little creepy but yet Euphoric.

Players welcome to the second game.

All of the players we're glancing at the shapes on the wall – the Circle, Triangle, Star and Umbrella they didn't know those because those we're new to them.

Players, before the second game begins

Choose one of the available shapes you can see on the wall.

All of them thinked to choose a shape, being curious and cautious at the same time.

"Hey, what shape are you going to pick Emilia-tan?"

Subaru questioned Emilia for her to choose a shape, she pointed at the star as Subaru also glanced at the star shes pointing.

"Star, i'll choose the star because it feels like.. the spirits!"

"I suppose we can choose the star if thats Betty suggests."

Otto glanced at the triangle and then looked at them.

"I'll choose the triangle."

Garfiel also picked a shape.

"I'll pick the circle!"

Reinhardt also picked a shape.

"Then i'll go with the umbrella."

Subaru's head turned to Reinhardt when he chooses umbrella.

"You think?"

Reinhardt nodded a little shakingly, but confident.

"Yeah, i never get to see an umbrella.. probably because it's not raining.."

Subaru smacked his back, a little hard but soft trying not to hurt him.

"Come on!, it quite never rains!, besides, we're on a shelter-like structure.. so of course there will be no rain."

Felt also chose a shape.

"Well I'm going for the triangle then."

After a while, they all eventually lined up with the triangle guards guarding and patrolling the lines.

The time to select your shape has ended.

I will now explain the rules of the next game.

The door opens to all four shapes – there was a circle guard that was going to give them the shape, on the table, it had a circular steel like plate covering something inside that feels a little hard but fragile.

All players, please take one each from the table at the front of your line.

All players, please take one each from the table at the front of your line.

After all of them got their circular steel plate, they opened it gently and a little aggressively – they saw inside of it is a honeycomb with a needle.

When Reinhardt and Subaru opened their circular plate, they we're both instantly in shock.

The second game is sugar honeycombs.

The shape you have chosen

Is the shape you must remove from the honeycomb.

Reinhardt and Subaru looked at their Honeycomb, then glancing at the wall, both saying in their minds..

`S: I'm f*cked / R: I'm dead.`

Emilia slowly looked towards Subaru, knowing that it was her fault to begin with for choosing the shape, Beatrice doesn't mind because she can easily do this anyways.

If you use any magical powers, or any specific kind of specific powers that may result in cheating, will be eliminated.

Priscilla scoffed as she easily got the easiest shape – the triangle, along with Al who also choosed Triangle wth her, Otto was relieved that he picked triangle, but worried about the others, especially Subaru, Garfield sighed deeply, choosing Circle, Heinkel choosed Triangle with Priscilla and Al, Anastasia had chosen the Star, along with Julius, Joshua and Ricardo, luckily, Crusch picked the Triangle, and so did Felix and Wilhelm, the others picked different shapes, but most are either star or triangle.

10 Minutes of the timer started.

They now we're in deep focus on cutting the liner of the Honeycomb, being careful because they knew it was fragile, Priscilla and Crusch's allies had a easy time dealing with the Triangular honeycomb shape, until a player suddenly broke his Dalgona after a minute of silence and patrol of the triangle guards.

The player – 127 looked up at the guard, as the guard glanced at the broken candy and lifted his head up then pointed the revolver at the player.

"Wait– wait!.. wait—"

A Loud gunshot was heard on top of the slide making everyone gasp in fear, the body didn't fell down to the slide because there was another player there, now knowing the escalation of the situation, they knew that they will get shot if they break the Honeycomb, eventually – 30 seconds of silence after the first gunshot, another man failed, breaking the candy in half accidentally – Player 412 was eventually shot in the head by the guard pointing the revolver at him, then after, many players we're getting shot one by another, as the loud gunshots made the players jump slightly in fear, both Horrified and Terrified.

Eventually Priscilla was done as she showed her shape to the guard with a sly smirk in her face.

Player 19 pass.

She didn't even glance at Subaru, not caring about him anyways, Julius and Anastasia both passed as they showed their completed Triangle to the guard at the same time.

Player 13 pass.

Player 22 pass.

Julius glanced at Subaru giving him a lucky smile which just made Subaru stress out even more, many players got shot one by one until Al completed his shape showing it to the guard.

Player 16 pass.

Heinkel Astrea was also done after, showing it to the guard with a cold look, being a little taller.

Player 344 pass.

Many people we're now passing the Game, one by one they completed.

Player 14 pass.

Player 25 pass.

Player 6 pass.

Player 2 pass.

Player 340 pass.

Player 1 pass.

Player 150 pass.

Player 454 pass.

Player 121 pass.

Player 254 pass.

Player 175 pass.

Right when felt passed, she looked at Reinhart with a concerned look in her face, she knew that he got an umbrella, but she eventually looked away, walking away while looking down with worryness.

...

Ram eventually also passed, even having a star, she did it completely without any special tricks, it was just her skill as she showed it to the guards being Perfunctory.

Player 27 pass.

She eventually threw the honeycomb away accidentally breaking someone's Honeycomb.

"HEY!, WHAT TH—"

Loud gunshot was heard again, making the players flinch in fear, Subaru had a hard time as there was only 4 minutes in the timer.

Player 400 pass.

Right when Subaru heard 400, he knew it was was Beatrice – how did she manage to complete the star without breaking it?, when he was distracted..

Crack!

He accidentally broke his Dalgona, and when the guard looked down to his broken star shape cookie.. he pointed the revolver at his head and another loud gunshot was heard.

Beatrice wondered on what was that gunshot until she became utterly in Aghast, she looked at Subaru's dead, motionless body, the blood splattered on the floor, Emilia was near him, and became flabbergasted that Subaru died next to her, eventually also breaking her cookie, a Loud gunshot was heard again, but it was Emilia's Beatrice was left traumatized, that the two people he cared about died, especially Subaru.

"SUBARU!!!"

Her voice echoes through Subaru's mind until..

He turned by death, in the red light green light again, he was breathing heavily, in shock of what had just happened earlier.
