7: Are we just gonna die here?

PAGE 140:

1: No way... no way!
2: There’s no way we’d all just get killed!
3: People on the internet said that there were thousands of people that never reached the goal in this tower, // and that they made residential districts to live in!
4: That’s the whole reason why I came here...
5: Idiot. // I’m guessing you thought you could run here after falling into credit card debt or something.
6: ......
7: You too, huh...?
8: I was tried in court by my employees // and I tried to run away by becoming a “Challenger,” but...

PAGE 141:

2: should’ve tried a bit harder to make things work in the outside world.
3: It’s no good...
4: The water’s almost at the ceiling...
5: ......
6: To hell with this damn Babel Dungeon...

PAGE 142:

1: They go out of their way to illuminate a door to give people hope,
2: kill someone with acid by the time the water level reaches it,
3: and on top of all that, the door’s not even real!
4: They lure people in under the pretense of gambling,
5: but all they’re doing is just playing with the hearts and lives of real people!


PAGE 143:

1: Hehe. // I went through all that work for nothing?
2: I guess we’ll all be floating corpses in about 5 minutes.
3: What a shame.
4: Huh?
5: I wanted to really savor taking your virginity.
6: Kyah!

PAGE 144:

1: I’ll be enjoying the 5 minutes we got left as much as I can!
2: N-No...!
3: I’ll be doing it not only in front of Tatsuki but in front of everyone else, too. Don’t resent me for this.
4: Besides, your orgasming face // is gonna be shown to all those moneybags across the world anyway. // Right through my very eyes.
5: (display) Asuma Satori
6: ......

PAGE 145:
