It's cold.

　The heating of the bus is off in the heavy snow and the cold air is constantly pouring in through the broken windows.
　There is no way anyone can stand this.

(But..... How can Takatsuki-kun play a game in such a situation?

　My classmate from junior high school, the weirdo, was playing the game as if it was the same as a high school lunch break.
　Earlier, he had been chatting stupidly with Fujiwara-kun sitting next to him, but now he was quiet.
　But now it's quiet. Maybe they don't have the energy to talk anymore.

　The only sounds I can hear are the sound of the wind and the clicking of Takatsuki's game button.

(Shall I say something last?)

　Hey, stupid game.
　Hey, look at me.
　You're actually cold, aren't you, and you're shivering a little?

Why do I have to look like I'm trying to pick a fight. It's not working.

　Is that game fun?
　I'm not a big fan of RPGs!
　I wish I could have played games with you again.

(I remember being jealous of my parents' family because they both worked late into the night and I could play games as much as I wanted.

　Takatsuki-kun.
　Hey.
　Don't look at me.
　Let me hear your voice one more time...

　I couldn't say any of the lines I thought of.　

(Oh, no...)

　My consciousness sank into darkness.



　◇


　I woke up in the dark.

　Pitch black.
　I can't see anything.
　But I was conscious.

(Oh, this is scary.)

　My hands don't move.
　My legs don't work either.

Am I alive?　(Is he dead?)

　Oh, my body moved.

(But something feels weird.)

　It felt so good that I turned over in my sleep, but it felt as if my body had twisted around a circle and a half.
　I felt like my body had been twisted a full circle.

I know it's just my imagination, but we have to get out of here anyway.

　You have to get it?　Where are you going?
　I was on a bus, and I was lost.
　So this is supposed to be a hospital.
　No, it's not.
　This isn't the right place.
　Just get out of here!

　Grumbling.
　An urge, I don't understand, made me move and break through something in my body, and I ran out.

(It's still dark. I can't see anything.

　It wasn't complete darkness as before, but I could see a glimmer of light, but it was hard to tell where I was.
　I crawled forward in my head.


"Well, you're the fastest of the sisters, my son.


　I heard such a voice from directly above.
　I looked up.
　There was a huge, blonde haired, blue-eyed beauty who looked like a Hollywood actress.
　She's beautiful, but she seems to have a bit of a hard personality.
　And I didn't recognize her face.

"My sweet child. Let me see that face.

　No, no, no.
　My mother is a small, plain person like me, you know?
　She's not the kind of flamboyant beauty that 10 out of 10 people would turn their heads if they passed her in a town like this.　
　Even her body is not flashy, or even.........

　Doesn't this guy have too much white skin?
　Is this guy wearing any clothes?
　What's wrong with his lower body?
　It's kind of like scales, or maybe they don't have legs....

Oh, it looks like your sisters (Kyodai) are awake too.

　Siblings (Kyodo)........
　I am the eldest daughter and I have four brothers and sisters downstairs.
　All of them are my brothers.

　We used to hang out together a lot in the past, but when we got older, we'd just stick together as guys.
　Lately, my sister has been estranged from me and I've missed her a bit.

(Most importantly, my brother doesn't play games with me anymore.)
　I used to do everything with my lady!　That's what I was thinking.
　Did I complain about that to Takatsuki-kun?　

　It just doesn't mean that when I turn around, my brothers are there, right?
　I turned around with that in mind.


-- there were a lot of Kyoudais there.


　It was missing a limb.

　Crawling on the ground.

　It had a slimy body surface and narrow, vertical eyes.

　It stuck out its tongue in a chirpy way.

　It's a snake.

　It's all over the place.

　Snakes. Snakes. Snakes. Snakes. Snake. Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snake! Snakes....

　As far as the eye can see, he's surrounded by snakes.

"Huh.

　I felt my brain not accepting the scene and felt my consciousness fading away.

　Just as I lost consciousness.
　I vaguely understood.

　I had become - I had become a snake.

　A snake monster.

　Oh, God.

　It's too much, isn't it?
