## Synopsis

## Summary

### Day 135: December 6, 2033

Jun enthusiastically declares the construction of "God's Kingdom" from atop a black-bricked wall, seeking Xuanyu's help with wires to make a huge automatic door. They plan to obtain the wires from Xuanyu's house. The wall, nearly completed, surrounds the town where Jun's supporters will reside, away from what he perceives as the evil citizens of Izuzunu. God's Kingdom is situated near the swamps in the forest, and Jun expresses pride in the project as they approach its completion.

Mikey, observing a crowd of customers outside, rushes to open the restaurant. Customers eagerly enter, with some waiting in line to order and others taking seats. When Mikey asks a customer for their order, the person expresses a preference for the "cute girl in green"(Chloe) to take their order. Mikey reacts with disgust to the customer's comment. In the kitchen, George struggles to make sushi, initially overlooking the salmon but eventually finding it. Mikey joins in to assist, but they repeatedly mess up the rolls. Frustrated, Mikey finally points to a somewhat presentable roll, and George serves it to the customers. Despite the odd appearance, customers praise the taste. When a boy questions the state of his sushi, George realizes the mistake. Mikey calls for Chloe's help and, back in the kitchen, they work to produce better-looking sushi. Mikey eventually succeeds in making a perfect roll and hands it to George. Despite serving a broken-apart sushi dish to a table, George convinces the customer to try it with a spoon. Surprisingly, she loves the unconventional presentation, and others want to try it the same way. George and Mikey provide bowls of sushi to the intrigued customers, who express varying opinions, but overall enjoy the dish. George reflects on his unconventional approach, admitting his lack of perfect rolling skills. The customers appreciate the effort and thank George for his work. Leo, one of the strangers from earlier, requests another bowl. George rushes to fulfill the order with Mikey, leaving Moon and Toast at the other table.

Mark and Edison find themselves far from Izuzunu, camping in a forest after days of traveling and encountering the Doomgaders. Mark struggles with anxiety about the direction they're headed, hoping the map is guiding them correctly. Edison encourages him to get some rest while he keeps watch. The night is chilly except for the warmth of the campfire. As Edison lies down, Mark contemplates his family, silently pleading for their safety in his thoughts—mentioning Mia, Ben, Mom, and Dad.

### Day 136: December 7, 2033

While working on building God's Kingdom, Jun explains to Clay that it will be a haven for his supporters due to the persecution they face in town. He reflects on the violence and discrimination against his followers. Clay offers reassurance, stating that Jun hasn't done anything wrong. Jun expresses his desire to move to the new town to escape the negativity in Morichi. Clay is considering a similar project, planning to build a four-meter wall around his house, possibly next to Max's old house. The two discuss their plans as they continue working on the construction. Clay expresses his eagerness to join the tournament hosted by Jun, aiming to become the leader of the LCI and win the prize. However, Jun declined to participate, stating that it was for the rest of the LCIs. Clay asks Jun to train him in combat. Jun agrees, despite admitting he's not an expert fighter. Clay explains his motivation for joining the tournament—to test and improve his strength. Jun agrees to teach him the next day. During their conversation, Jun and Clay discuss Clay's desire to enter Novishi, a town known for advanced technology and protective barriers. They plan to try entering Novishi together during the month.

Moon and Toast, positioned on the wall of God's Kingdom, discuss their plan to attack. Toast reveals a sinister side, expressing a desire for chaos and the conquest of the peaceful town. He envisions a brutal battle, painting a grim picture of a day when the sky will turn red with the blood of Izuzunians. Moon, seemingly unfazed, agrees with Toast's plan. Toast ominously declares their intention to kill Jun and bring an end to the era of peace in Izuzunu.
