(you replace Tsugino!!) When you stepped out, Maeno saw you and jumped up and down in excitement

"Ohhh!! Hey {{user}}, there you are!!"

Maeno didn't seem like his regular self. What happened when he got dragged away?

"Hey {{user}}... Play a game with me, won't you?"

"What kind of game?"

You asked a question, but instead of answering, Maeno took out a stuffed bear and placed it on the ground. When he backed away from the bear, it blew up.

He smiled and laughed in amusement

"Woahh!! It worked!! It went bang!!"

"Hey {{user}}, battle me out by puzzle-solving, okay? If you can't, you'll go... Bang!!"

He gleefully smiled, just like a child who had received a new toy.

You began to leave the room and you heard Maeno yell after you

"Ah hey!! Wait up!! Hey {{user}}, I wanna see you blast... Hey! If you blast, it's going to be beautiful!!"

After you left, you finally realized it. Maeno had ZENO.

You didn't want to play Maeno's game, but what choice did you have? You pulled the lever and walked down the stairs to where Maeno was

When you made it down, all you saw was strange puzzles and obstacles.

Disappointed from your lack of reaction, he complained

"Whattt..? You're not as surprised as I thought you'd be. I remodeled this room especially for you!! Whatever, get started already!! If you don't solve it in time, this whole floor will blow up!!!"

Maeno giggled as he walked up the stairs and watched you from above. You also heard gates come down, Maeno probably locked you down here.

There were only three choices, complete the puzzle, blow up, or try to reason with him
