The two women ran as the announcement echoed through the resort, directing everyone to the lobby. The scene felt not dissimilar to the clubs game they had played together, the two racing side by side through the twisting halls of the Beach.
In front of them, a crowd of people hurried down an intersecting hall, presumably in the direction of the lobby. Without much knowledge of how to get to their destination, the two were left without much choice other than to follow them.
Eventually coming to the wide room of the lobby, a horde of people had amassed, each of them making their way to the front of the room where a table with stacks of phones sat for the participants to take.
Given a chance to take a breath, Kazumi turned to her companion, silently asking if she was alright. Usagi nodded in return, and with that reassurance the two women hurried to claim phones of their own from the front table.
Murmurs thoughout the crowd caught their attention, people had begun to gather around something to the side of the room. Weaving past players, Kazumi stopped just before the front of the crowd, while Usagi made her way further forward. Both of them could see the body of a young woman with a knife in her chest.
Shock and confusion spread through Kazumi, but her thoughts were cut short by the panicked cry of "Momoka!"
A panicked woman in a yellow shirt pushed her way to the body, dropping beside it in sadness. "Momoka, why..."
The mass of phones in the room chimed, as the computeresque voice announced the game, 'Witch Hunt.'
"The evil witch who took the girls life is hiding among you. The witch role is not limited to women. You clear the game if you find the witch and burn them in the Fire of Judgement."
A stroke of fear shot through Kazumi. The game would surely turn them against each other. With this many people already on edge, plus the reckless violence of the militants, there was no way this game would end without a bloodbath.
"Time limit: Two hours."
Outside the windows they could see a glimpse of a raging bonfire, presumably the 'Fire of Judgement' they were to use.
"Find the one who murdered Momoka, then burn the in the Fire of Judgement." The executive with the short black hair spoke.
"A witch hunt? This sounds interesting." Niragi stepped up, making his way towards the center of the crowd.
