What stains can be dyed?

Time oozes out from the inside

of our relationships, burdens and understandings.

Which color will you smear?

What color will you choose?

I am lost in my thought as the days pass me by

Bara-iro ni Somare

You're— Keisuke?!

A-Akira?!

What're you doing here?

I thought you might be here.

That's not what I'm meant.

I was just so worried about you...

So you followed me?

Yeah.

I'm glad you're safe at least.

I did run into some trouble.

But I ran and managed to escape.

You shouldn't be here.

But I thought if there was any way I could help...

This isn't a game.

I don't need your help.

I'm not leaving!

I don't even know how to get back.

I won't go back.

Fine.

Ok.

Thanks, Akira.

Akira?

I'm heading out.

Where are you going?

Igra, of course.

I've got some tags, after all.

If you lose, you may end up dying, huh?

Didn't I tell you already?

This isn't some kind of trivial game.

I have to kill others too.

"Kill or be killed."

That's the rule here.

Unless I defeat the top, Il Re,

I won't be able to get out of here.

I'll come too!

No way. Aren't you unarmed?

I don't want to wait for you all by myself!

Hold onto this.

What about you, Akira?

Do you have a spare knife?

No, I don't.

But then, what will you—

Keisuke!

Promise me now!

That you'll do everything you can to protect your own life!

Alright.

I get it.

Wait up, Akira!

Akira, over there...

Damn it!

Let's go.

Ah, okay.

And that's that!

I'll let you off the hook today.

Hold up!

Ah, you're that girl from before!

Sucks to be you!

I've got a you-know-what.

Wha—?!

Y-You have a—?!

Well, that's a minor detail.

This is my turf.

I have a problem with you guys weaseling your way in here.

Your turf?

That's right!

If you step into someone else's territory, you have to pay an entry fee.

Entry fee? What the...

I take it that you two are going to participate in Igra, right?

Well, whatever then!

I've already found a reasonable spot to photograph

and you two are pretty good looking so I'll lift the entry fee this time around.

Anyway, do you guys have any questions?

Do you know where we can get some weapons?

Weapons, huh?

How 'bout this?

Even a beginner could use this, you know.

Then what'll you use?

I'm just lending it to you for now.

You can pay me back later.

With your body.

What'd you say?!

Aren't you a guy?

Aw, come on! It was just a joke!

I'm Rin!

What about you guys?

I'm Akira.

He's Keisuke.

Akira and Keisuke, huh?

So, Keisuke, are you really not going to participate in Igra?

This guy's—

In this town,

it's not unusual for folks to just die, you know.

Regardless of the fact that you're going to join in Igra or not, people do die.

That's why you should go and enjoy yourself!

Why don't you go listen to someone explain how Igra works?

Okay...

All right! Let's go!

Where to?

We'll be going to the Castle.

That's Arbitro's pad.

Who's this Arbitro gu—

Come on, hurry hurry!

What are you so nervous about?

Alrighty.

We're in front of the headquarters of the devilish drug organization, Vischio!

It's nicknamed the Castle!

It's pretty big.

Totally!

From what I've heard, it served as some kind of an event hall before the great war.

For drama plays and concerts and other stuff like that.

Then, after the great war, it just seemed appropriate for Vischio members to occupy the area.

The inside of the Castle is full of chaos now. Pure chaos.

Chaos?

You'll see what I mean once we get there.

Good job!

What brings you here?

The desire to participate in Igra.

Aren't you already participating?

I didn't say it was my desire.

Look behind me.

The big guy in blue overalls.

Thanks for your help.

Very well.

Come in.

Seems like every time I come here, this place is full of strange shit.

So this is what that Arbitro guy likes?

Yup.

Who wishes to join Igra?

That would be me...

You must put this on first.

This way.

Well, I'll be back after I go see what he says.

Are you worried?

Not really.

You're so lying!

You're against Keisuke participating in Igra. It's written all over your face!

That's for him to decide.

Keisuke!

Welcome back!

Wait, where're your tags?

Did you give up on joining?

Yeah, about that...

I'm sorry.

There's no need to apologize, you know.

Let's get back.

I thought this would happen!

You're so timid. I didn't think you could do it!

So guys! I'm going to meet up with a friend of mine.

You wanna tag along?

Friend?

Yup!

He asked me for a favor.

He's quite a well-rounded, knowledgeable old man.

Lemme introduce him to you two.

I don't think there's a downside to meeting new people.

Erm...

Why are you being so nice to us, anyway?

Well, I've been in Igra for quite a while now.

I've decided to change up my plans a bit since it's kinda boring.

I'm tired of it.

Well aren't you laid-back?

Right on! But that's just since I'm strong already.

If I really wanted tags, I could just pick on some lowbies and get them.

I never really did feel like targeting either of you.

Well, it's beneficial if you both learn more about this place, no?

Alright.

It's this way.

Bah, it's the Executioners?

Executioners?

Well, just watch and you'll understand.

I said there's no point in trying to run away.

That's it! Too bad!

It's game over!

Hey, wasn't that cool?

That blonde guy is Gunji.

Damn, Mitsuko. You sure can fly.

The one with black hair is Kiriwar.

You'll want to be wary of those guys.

They're moody and irresponsible.

They've made up false accusations and killed people before.

That would be?

That's Arbitro's dog.

D-Dog?

Huh? What's that?

He says it was fair since he had all of those tags!

Does that guy have something on him?

For some reason, Fido here seems to be reacting to you.

You do have a scent.

Sheesh, you playboy!

Seriously, what have you been doing?!

I told you that we should hurry and go already!

Come now, jeez.

We'll be in trouble if we upset these kind Executioners!

If we don't hurry, we'll just end up being hindrances to them!

So anyway, we're really, really sorry!

Annoying.

Yeah.

Well, whatever.

We better get Fido back or else 'bitro gonna snap.

It's dinner time.

Yeah.

That was dangerous, huh?

I was really worried about what might've happened.

Let's get there soon.

Our destination is practically right in front of our eyes.

Ah, there he is!

Gramps!

Yo, you're later than I expected.

Nah, we just got caught up with the Executioners.

There were two victims.

Were they criminals?

Who knows.

Falsely accused, I wonder.

Well, who knows if losing two people was a good thing or bad thing.

Anyway, where's the thing I asked for?

I brought it.

Here!

All right, this is it!

Hm? Who're they? Your friends?

Introduce them already!

I was gonna do that!

Well, this one's Akira,

and this would be Keisuke!

Hello.

This cold, old man is Motomi.

The 'cold' part is too much.

But why are you guys following Rin around?

He never shuts up.

Are you saying I'm noisy?

I just got here!

I was kind and courteous enough to show them over here!

Most people would consider that obnoxious and noisy.

Didn't you tell me before not to say that to other people?

Don't you actually love heating the trouble, after all?

That may be so.

What's that photo, anyway?

This, huh? It's going to be used for some work I do.

I requested this from Rin.

Work?

It's an information shop.

If it's not suspicious, it wouldn't even exist, right?

An information shop...

Well, after I stock up with a variety of news and gossip,

I make exchanges and get myself food that way.

Ta-da!

I can get a lot of news with this!

Okay, let's see here!

Come now, Akira, how about just one shot?

I don't like being photographed.

I get it.

You don't want to take a picture with that weird old dude, huh?

Well!

He never did say that, you know.

Right, Akira?

Let's just make this a memoir of our meeting!

Right?

Sure...

All right, here I go!

Say cheese!

That would be Line.

Line?

A liquid drug that's been circulating around these parts for a while.

Got a problem with me?!

If you use it, your nerves and sensitivity skyrocket to the point where you're no longer tired.

See ya later.

Then your body becomes much lighter.

But there's one way Line is distinctly different from other drugs.

It really amplifies your physical and mental abilities.

Does it actually make you stronger?

That's what they say.

It's still a one-time deal kind of thing.

On the same topic, there's a high demand for it.

The withdrawal symptoms are intense.

The thicker the density, the stronger the withdrawal effects.

And if the body doesn't adjust to the effects, it'll hurt even more.

And if it's really bad, then you go on to the next world.

What a terrible drug.

There's nothing against doping in Igra's rules, but...

Eh, I'll just stop right there.

Come to think of it, you're not going to participate in Igra?

Eh? Right...

Let's go back. Let's get going.

Alright.

We'll see you around, Motomi.

Sure.

See you again!

Akira!

I can't let you play this dangerous game by yourself!

So... I'll participate in Igra too.

Don't even try to stop me.

Do whatever you want.

All right!

We have to win this and go home together, Akira!

What is it, Akira?

How did you get to Toshima, anyway?

I got lost in my thoughts and just started chasing after you.

I came here in a car, you know.

Huh? Er, well, yeah.

I just thought of coming to Toshima to look for you.

Well, I'd believe that.

I did ask how you were able to come and chase after my tracks like that.

For crying out loud, enough already.

I do wonder how you were able to find me.

It was since I was lost in my thoughts without you, really.
