Chapter 100

**Chapter 100** is the one-hundredth chapter of the *Dead Mount Death Play* manga.

## Official Blurb

Yumeji Agakura, the new mediator of Shibuya… He seems to be as normal as they come, but how normal can someone in the underworld—especially a member of the Agakura family—really be?

## Synopsis

Flashback
In an empty classroom, a young Yumeji Agakura tells Polka Shinoyama that attending a gruadation ceremony, let alone living a normal life, had seemed impossible to a boy with a fracturing family and bullies who relentlessly tormented him. He says his progress is thanks to Polka reaching out to him, recalling out overjoyed he was when Polka spoke to him "normally." Polka, clutching his graduation certificate, modestly says that he did nothing special. Still, Yumeji looks forward to continuing their friendship in middle school.

Yumeji admires his own certificate as he walks home, but his happiness becomes horror when three smiling people intercept him. The youngest praises Yumeji for being the 'real deal' unlike his 'fake' parents and siblings. "As vexing as it is," he says, "that unholy 'hair spinner' [...] was right." He bids Yumeji follow his group, for chosen miracles must not walk among commonfolk in a mundane world.

Polka rushes to the local park at Yumeji's summons to find Yumeji bloodied but unharmed, unlike the three people lying insensate from their injuries. Yumeji informs Polka that they cannot attend middle school together after all and, at Polka's concern, says the blood is no more his than it was when they first met. That Polka came for him makes him glad; that Polka can still speak so fearlessly to him, however, suggests that Polka is likewise "far from normal." Polka insists that he cannot fear Yumeji since Yumeji is neither a monster nor a 'bad guy.' Yumeji replies that he will "hit [Polka] up" if Polka ever comes over to his side—though he prays Polka will not—and by 'his side,' he means he is forsaking "being normal."

Present
Yumeji takes out his frustration on the suspected werewolves while venting it out loud. It had been Majiri Agakura's influence that led him to think he could be *normal* on "this side": he thought he could support his siblings as an errand boy who handled chores and paperwork. An ordinary thug. He stares at a werewolf whose teeth he smashed in and asks it, "Why won't you let me be normal?"

Xiaoyu Lei informs the others in the storage room that he can hear somebody wreaking havoc in the basement in addition to those rampaging out front. Majiri says her family members are probably involved, though she trusts them to stay safe especially with Yumeji around. The name strikes a chord with Sayo Shinoyama and Misaki Sakimiya, the latter of whom remembers him from the mediator conference. Misaki's interest is piqued when Majiri describes Yumeji as someone who is amazing when he means business, for Yumeji can "*freeze time*."

While Momoya Agakura, Kana Agakura, and Dahlia Agakura adjust to Yumeji's mad rampage, Majiri explains that Yumeji is the only Agakura who can *match her speed* when he is serious, for "his brain's ability to process time is dozens of times greater than the average person's" and he can explosively keep up with such a stream of information. His senses are sharpened. His body is unbreakable. No matter how much Yumeji might wish to stay in the same world forever, he will inevitably leave the world behind.

Yumeji incapacitates, however briefly, the last werewolf. Katashiro meanwhile follows Corpse God down the stairwell, unaware that the shark plush in the latter's hoodie is the real Polka.
