Thanks for the chapter!
Poor shining boy, he was so forgotten he wasn't kidnapped in the death game and now is not even in the background.
he was kidnapped for the death game, actually! just not with the gals
(in the video series, at least...)
"Tada Hikaru, ability is... Light Emission...
I don't know how to say this, but uh... I feel sorry for this guy."
"-It's only natural."
"Well, this one's just an extra, really."
"-Yes. In fact, Kuroi Masayoshi was the one who brought him along, so he is an extra in the full sense of the word."
"Oh, really?"
"-Yes. That's why, this time around, the number of participants increased suddenly."
"
That's why this guy's the only one written in handwriting?"
this video also features the immortal guy mentioned in passing in the last chapter so they might have indirectly canonized hikaru getting brought along to the death game (as a footnote) for the manga
