| Chapter Summaries :

1. The Cover Page: "Get ready, our journey is still long."
2. Page 2-3: Kanoko asks Saya about something that looks like a crystal [Panel 2]. Saya explains that it's the place where executioners come from—or where they’re “born”. She adds that, according to the remaining records, those crystals started showing up in every city after the disaster.
   Kanoko then asks if the crystals the executioners came from are dangerous. Saya says they’re no longer active and not toxic anymore.
   Isami adds that there used to be a lot of executioners when the disaster happened, but that doesn't mean they'll keep appearing. Saya agrees with Isami and says that she can't say that the executioners are completely gone because of the knight type.​
3. Page 4: Saya says that if everything goes smoothly, they can reach the Central Control Tower in about an hour. If they manage to get through the next city—called "Chi"—they’ll arrive at the city of "To," where Usa is waiting.
   Unfortunately, all communication routes have already been shut down. Saya also mentions that it’s not easy to reopen them, and that Ku might need up to two years to reopen it.​
4. Page 5: Saya continues by saying that there are signs of forced external manipulation, which triggered a strong defense code and caused the intercity gates to lock down. She explains that it's hard to unlock the gates from a support terminal using the communication route, but if the four of them go to the Central Control Tower, there should be a main control terminal there.
   The four of them hope that the terminal is still working properly.​
5. Page 6-7: The building of Central Control Tower and its surroundings.​
6. Page 8: The inside of Central Control Tower.​
7. Page 9: Since the elevator is broken, the four of them have to go down the stairs all the way to the bottom floor. Saya says that the control terminal should be inside a shelter located within the tower.
   Inside, the tower is already wrecked, with several corpses lying around. The four of them expected this and just hope the control terminal is still safe.​
8. Page 10-12: The four of them explore the shelter. Isami then opens the door to a room and is shocked. Saya asks what’s wrong.
   Inside, they find a human corpse tied up and clearly tortured. The body used to be a mutant human, just like Isami and Kanoko.
   Isami says that he and Kanoko will take care of the body and tells Saya to go check the control terminal.​
9. Page 13: Saya comes back, and Isami asks about the condition of the terminal. Saya shakes her head and says the control terminal is broken and beyond repair.
   She suggests they bury the people here first before deciding what to do next. While looking around, Saya finds a recording device and plays the video stored inside it.​
10. Page 14: Saya looks shocked by what she sees in the video from the recorder. Isami asks what the video is, and Saya replies that it’s nothing.
    Suddenly, Isami snatches the recorder from her and plays the video.​
11. Page 15-16: In the video, there’s someone infected with crystalosis who just killed a mutant girl. The person says they’ve defeated the demon and offered it to God. He’s sure everything will get better now.
    But then he says that even though they’ve sacrificed the demon, the disease won’t go away and asks if God has abandoned them. He repeats over and over that praying isn’t enough.​
12. Page 17: All four of them feel sad after watching the video. Isami asks what the person did at the end of the video before leaving the room.
    Saya looks over at a floor tile that seems to have been moved.​
13. Page 18-21: Underneath the floor tile, there's a symbol—the same one they found back at the factory. Saya presses the symbol, and suddenly, a rumbling sound comes from the center of the tower.
    The four of them head toward it and discover that a hidden area has just opened up, leading much deeper underground.​
14. Page 22: Isami says he doesn’t doubt Saya, but asks if she really doesn’t know anything. Saya looks a bit confused and apologizes, saying she truly doesn’t know what’s going on.
    The four of them then head down, unaware that two people are secretly following them.
    [Side text: Stepping into the depths of the world—are the shadows behind them enemies or allies? To be continued in the next chapter.]
