Puppeteer

POV: Ikeda Akihiko

"I'm listening," Sir Kunio replied as he lends his ear. What they're just going to say is too much intriguing.

Kenshin starts. "The start of the game is defined by someone assigned by the administrator to be the parent, the main tree. From what I know, they call it the 'Hosts'. Overall, there are only two hosts in this game.

"A Host can only be killed by the other to claim victory. As far as I know, this rule only appears to the host themselves. One of them is Zeke, the survivor's host."

"Then who's the zombies' host?" I asked.

Suddenly, Kenshin and Seki narrow their eyes at me.

"You should already know that by now," Seki followed up.

"It's better if he didn't know," Kenshin said.

"He's our enemy, Kenshin! And you trust him more than me!?" I exclaimed.

"It's not an issue of trust, Ikeda. If nothing was planned, mass murder will happen."
