But it’s all gone to hell. He returns to the rooftop and he begins to lose hope. His tent is going to be broken. How will he live without the tent? The tent was given by his grandmother who lives in the countryside. He swears to move into the big house once he makes a name for himself. Letting the guy who fired him regret. The wind blows Heisuke Mashimo’s small house away. The wind brought a flyer. The bounty is one million Yen if he wins the survival game.
The next day, Sakamoto and his friends come to the shopping street for taking part in the survival game. They run into the strange guy. One million Yen is a hug cake for the poor Heisuke Mashimo. But he finds out that it’s a group game. He’s told that he needs two teammates if he wants to take part in the game.
Heisuke Mashimo is helpless. But he sees Sakamoto and Shin. He begs Sakamoto so that the three team up. The rules of the game are very simple. The whole street is the scope of the game.

Heisuke Mashimo claims that he hates liars. But other teams catch the chance to attack them. Sakamoto an Shin retreat. It gives Heisuke Mashimo the time to change his weapons. He has a sniper gun in his hand and his target is Sakamoto.
But Sakamoto reacts very fast. He blocks the bullet with his hand. Heisuke Mashimo keeps a distance from the man. He’s unhappy even if the assassination target isn’t close to him. Because he treated Sakamoto and Shin as his friends.
Shin and Sakamoto go to a covert place. The key to fighting a sniper is not to expose your location. Sakamoto shows his head. A bullet shoots him. He and Shin are shocked. They think the bullet was too accurate. When did they expose their location?

It’s true that the bullet is elusive because it will rebound. Shin teases that they were teammates. He wonders why they have to kill each other.
Heisuke Mashimo points out that they were hitmen before becoming teammates. He thinks he only needs to confirm if he hit the target. Another attack comes. Shin and Sakamoto don’t know how to deal with the ricochet. Heisuke Mashimo is anxious after he missed again and again.

Shin takes off his earphone. He yells at the earphone. I have to say that the method is very good. Shin finds Heisuke Mashimo’s location through the scaring. Sakamoto casts a stone at Heisuke Mashimo when he’s targeted. He ruins his gun.
