Chapter 53: Staying for The Next Missions

Gantz Fighter: Takeshi

Points: 0

Accumulated Points: 0

Cheers too much, cry too much.

"Zero huh. What can you expect from a kid?"

Everybody sympathized Takeshi. This kid was brought here to hunt some aliens. That is way too cruel for him in order to regain his freedom. Just how did he get killed in the first place?

"Hey! That guy is even more awesome. He almost reached 200 pts."

Sakata looked at Sakurai and said, "I didn't choose to free myself because, I wanted to help Ayaka to be freed from this place. Once I get 200 pts, we both can be free. As for you, you don't have anything to worry about. So, you better choose the first option. Get your freedom."

"I..." Sakurai was feeling undecided. He was feeling happy that he can now choose to be freed from Gantz. However, he also was not feeling right to free himself while still seeing his sensei is not freed yet.

After struggling for a moment, he decided. "Gantz, let me keep going to this room for a little longer."

"Hey Sakurai, what are you doing?" asked Sakata, frowning at his disciple's choice.

"I wanted to stay a while longer." replied Sakurai. He also added, "It's a waste of points for me to get myself freed at this time. My score is almost reaching 200 pts. So why don't I just go for the next mission. Like you sensei, I wanted to use that point to help someone, other than freeing myself."

Seeing his serious face caused Sakata to sigh. He knew that when the guy says that he wanted to stay, it was a definite choice, and even he as his sensei will not be able to change that.

"What's up with them? Why are they not choosing the first option?" asked Jouji Morozumi.

"Well, apparently, there are more choices when you get to the 200 pts mark. Though, I wonder what it is?" wondered Masafumi Shirokuma.

Houchuu Nagashima who also curious about the 200 pts mark choices approached Kurono, and asked, "Excuse me. Can you tell us the choices if we get 200 pts?"

Kurono looked at him and replied, "When you reached 200 pts mark, the fourth option will appear for you to choose."

"What is the fourth choice?"

"That option is to pick any of the living person in this room, and let them be free from Gantz. Furthermore, when you get 200 pts, you can pick twice. So, if you pick the fourth option, you can still pick the first option to free yourself."

"So that's how it is." nodded Nagashima in understanding. That's a great sacrifice for the one who wanted to gain that much of points. However, doing so would be a good deed, and in a way, it may give that person a good karma for his future life.

"By the way, is it possible for us to choose to have a weapon, and then choose freedom?" asked Manabu Yamaguchi.

"It's possible. However, you memory of Gantz will be erased after you are free." answered Kurono. He added, "Well, I don't think you should do that. If by chance you used the weapon wrongly becaus you have no recollection about it, you might cause trouble for yourself. Moreover, If you bragged or told others about the weapon, Gantz might decide to kill you.

Though you are freed from Gantz, it can still issue a mission to the people here to hunt you down. So, if that happens, you have no other choice but to be hunted, and be killed."

Yamaguchi and his friend, and also the rest of the people in the room shivered when they heard Kurono. So, Gantz can also issue mission to kill human? If that's true, then it will be dreadful for both the hunters and the prey.

"I think, I won't try to pick that kind of choices." said Yamaguchi, fearing what Kurono says to really happened to him. His friends also nodded in agreement.

"Gantz, I also wanted to keep collecting points." said Kaze decisively. He doesn't really care whether to be freed or still not. He even feel that staying in this place gave him more sense of excitement. In here, he could fight strong opponents, and feel the excitement of being in the battlefield.

At first, Kaze wanted to choose no. 2, and get a strong weapon. However, when he saw little Takeshi, he then decisively choose to stay, and gain more points. Moreover, the other two already showed their bravery to stay. So, he is a bit embarrassed to pick the option to be free.

Ayaka was feeling down when she saw her points. Sakata approached her and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll collect some more points to free us both."

"Thank you. But I want to try my hardest too. That way, we have more options when the time comes for us to be freed." said Ayaka.

"Oh, it's her turn. Wow! She also managed to gain 100 pts."

"That's an idol for you. I wonder if she wanted to free herself." said Jouji Morozumi.

Reika saw her points, but didn't choose directly. She instead turned to look at Kurono. "If you gains up to 100 pts score this time, and I'm almost sure of that, will you free yourself?"

Kurono was surprised that she asked him that. He pondered for a second, then shook his head, saying, "I think I'll stay. I believe that if I stay, I can help more people to be freed from this place. Moreover, in the far future, all of this mission will stop. At that time, there will no longer be a need for the Gantz to take people into this place, and all the Gantz Fighters will gain their freedom."

"The hunting missions will stop in the future?" asked Rei in surprise. The rest of the people also got surprised.

Kurono nodded. He then said, "As long as we, the Gantz Fighters survived, and prevented the aliens invasion in the future, then we will automatically gain our freedom. At that time, we are not just free, we will retain our memories, Gantz suits, and even every weapon that we gained along the fight."

Everyone were showing more surprised expression when they heard that. The four office workers were intrigued by the revelation. Some of them like Jouji Morozumi, have that greedy expression on his face. However, it disappeared instantly after he remembered how dangerous it is to do the Gantz missions.

After listening to Kurono, Reika then decided, "I want to stay then. Gantz prepare some weapon for me, for the next mission."

"Hey Reika, are you okay with staying?" asked Kurono.

"As long as you stay, I will also stay. Besides, you will protect me if I stay, right?" Reika asked back, while smiling sweetly at Kurono. Kurono's other girlfriends frowned when they saw her smile. Is she trying to seduce him?

"That's for sure." nodded Kurono.

Reika smile become even bigger after she heard his reply.

"Damn! The idol is already taken. I thought I got a chance to date her." sighed Houchuu Nagashima.

"What? Are you going to abandon you wife?"

"Who said that I wanted to abandon my wife? Can't I just get more women?"

"I think you should not do that. If you want more woman, just leave your wife." said Jouji Morozumi, looking a bit excited.

"What are you excited about?"

"Actually, he has a crush on your wife." said Manabu Yamaguchi.

"What? So, are you eying my wife all of this time?"

"Well, if you wanted to leave her, why was it bad for me to have my eyes on your wife?"

"Damn you, Morozumi! I'll kick your ass!"

"Bring it on, four eyes!"

The two ended up beating each other, while everyone looking at them amusedly.

"Tits? Is not that my previous nickname?" asked Rei. She looked at Fei, and grinned at her.

"Kah! What's up with this stupid ball? Can it change the nickname?" scolded Kishimoto. She grunted, and made her choice, "Stupid thing, just prepare my weapon."

"Not you too. Are you sure you want to stay?" sighed Kurono.

"I'm sure. You must protect me alright? right?" said Fei, looking at Kurono intently.

"Yes yes. Just don't cause trouble, will you?"

"Okay, you are the best." said Fei. She happily hugged Kurono.

"Sigh, another wasted opportunities. What wrong with them?" sighed Yamaguchi.

"Hey, this is unfair. He get to have the idol, and also another beauty. Why can't I have more women like him? Gah!"

While Houchuu Nagashima was looking enviously at Kurono, Jouji Morozumi kicked between his leg, causing him to fall on the floor.

"Jouji!"

"That's what you get for scratching my ball." scolded Morozumi. The two once again get into a fight, forcing their two friends to hold them both, before they go further, and injured each other.

Seeing her score, Sakuraoka smiled and looked at Kurono meaningfully.

Kurono knew what she wanted to say when he saw the look on her eyes. "Hei..."

"Gantz, prepare more weapon for me." as expected, Sakuraoka also choose to stay, and continue the missions.

"Sigh. Do whatever you want." Kurono gave up on persuading all these girls. In his heart, he promised to protect all of them, with all his abilities.

At this time, the Gantz showed another option to Sakuraoka.

'As you already get the first weapon before, you may now choose to get the same weapon, or another type of weaponry. Choose from below:

1. Z-Gun

2. Hard-Suit

Seeing the option, everyone showed a curious look. Kurono's team subconsciously turned to look at him, causing him to sigh.

Kurono said, "That's Hard-Suit is another type of suits, but a bigger version. Just ask, Gantz to show the design."

Sakuraoka nodded and asked the Gantz. A second later, there was a picture of the suit shown in the screen of the black ball.

"The picture cannot tell the exact size. How big is it?" asked Sakuraoka.

"Well, if you remembered the Grumpy Alien in the previous mission, the suit is a little smaller than that alien. I would say, it's a three to four meter tall suits." replied Kurono.

"So big? How are we going to wear that?"

"It's actually pretty easy to use it. When you put the suit, you will feel that it just an extension of your body parts. So, no need to worry much about it. I recommend for you to pick that one." answered Kurono.

"Well, I will trust you on that then." said Sakuraoka, nodding to Kurono. "Gantz, prepare the Hard-Suit for me."
