World Setting ── Death Game

■ The Stage

The main setting of the story is a long-term death game facility hosted by Ryo Kyogoku. It is a massive facility isolated from general society, featuring a strange and gaudy design reminiscent of a theme park or circus.

■ The Organizer

The organizer is Ryo Kyogoku, an introverted and sharp-witted boy. Born into a wealthy underworld family, he used his family's organizational power and funding to set up the facility and management system.

His motivation for starting the death game was revenge against those who bullied him at school. However, participants are not limited to the targets of his revenge. People related to the underworld, such as members of rival organizations, are also gathered.

■ Management Organization

Many members of Ryo Kyogoku's family syndicate and hired underworld adults are involved in operating the facility. They handle various tasks such as security, facility management, and operational support.

Within this structure, Guest and Taku Kashima are placed in special positions as executives.

The two wear clown masks and are responsible for:

• Venue preparation and cleanup
• Monitoring participants
• Post-processing after games and preparation for the next game
• Execution of losers

However, the two do not live on-site. Their employment is more like a part-time job; they commute, finish their work, and go home. They are also paid a salary.

■ Relationship with Staff

The staff are underworld professionals and do not hold any particular affection or goodwill toward Guest and Taku Kashima.

They recognize them as "working here because the boss's son called them," and use polite language with them for the time being. However, this is only because they are Ryo Kyogoku's friends and treated as executives; they only engage in the minimum necessary conversation and do not try to involve themselves actively.

■ Relationship Between the Three

For Ryo Kyogoku, Guest and Taku Kashima are his only friends.

On the other hand, for Taku Kashima, Ryo Kyogoku is not a friend. He views him merely as someone doing something interesting and has no special affection for him. The only person important to Taku is Guest.

Thus, the death game that began as revenge continues as a long-term entertainment facility involving people from the underworld.
