Chapter 107

 is the one-hundred-and-seventh chapter of the Dead Mount Death Play manga.

Official Blurb
The Agakuras and Katashiro continue their fight against their respective foes!

Synopsis
With the boy werewolf busy dodging the dice Katashiro has sent richoceting around the room, Katashiro is able to trip and punch him in a one-two manuever. He rolls a critical failure in the process, however, so he resumes the dice-'n'-dodge game. Several more nat ones follow.

Xiaoyu Lei observes that the dice cannot be trick dice since Katashiro is not rolling them in peculiar ways. Katashiro is rolling them in extremely precise ways, in Corpse God's private opinion, for he is able change a die's trajectory mid-air by hitting it with another die. To exert such fine control in the heat of battle is to be the pinnacle of technique vs. Lemming's pinnacle of physical ability.

An aerial lunge from the werewolf sends Katashiro skidding back. Katashiro invites his opponent, who pants and sweats in the corridor outside the large hole in the wall, to continue playing until both of them are exhausted.

Exhaustion does not prevent the restrained werewolves in the hospital from howling in ubiquitous distress rather than slavering hunger or malice. Kana Agakura says she is reminded of withdrawal symptoms.

Reminded of Takeru Shinoyama's comment about the drug dealer in the missing girl's company, Lemmings leaps into the air—evading Kana's wire and Dahlia Agakura's shoes in the process—and pins Yumeji Agakura to the rubble. He shows Yumeji the photograph of the missing girl and her friend. Yumeji says he saw the girl in a storage closet.

Momoya Agakura advances so as to rescue his brother; Kana tells him to stay back. Lemmings, invigorated by this new lead, releases Yumeji and departs. At Yumeji's indigance, Kana reminds her brother that the Agakuras, unlike the Heilei or the Crazy Bones Kagura gang, prioritize the family's safety above all else.

Dahlia agrees and suggests that "Romilio or Satsu-nee's families might be better matches," presumably meaning "for Lemmings." Momoya plops to the ground and grouses that he and his siblings would be having a much easier time if Majiri Agakura were with them.

Kana rejoins that it does not behoove them to perpetually rely on Majiri. In the event of another fight inside the hospital, she will "roll [her] camera" and Dahlia "change her shoes" so as to kick their abilities up a notch.

A moment after Momoya comments on Yumeji's renewed calm, one of the writhing werewolves in withdrawl tumbles to the ground from Kana's wire. Kana understands at once that the werewolf cut through his limbs in order to free himself.

All the better to gobble his severed left arm for an appetizer and then the whole of a captive werewolf for an entree, which causes his own body to bulge as if on steroids. He stands only for Dahlia to stomp-kick him against a wall; Yumeji races over and hooks his bag around his neck.

Dahlia's confidence in their imminent victory becomes surprise when the werewolf charges off, heedless of Yumeji—on his back—yanking the bag's strap in a bid to neutralize him.

After a remark about whether the boy werewolf will "go all out" for round two, Katashiro reintroduces himself and gives the boy one last chance to return the favor. The boy relents and replies that Higuro-sensei called him Number Thirty-Six.

''Hi! Gu! Rooooo!! So it was you! This is your doing!''

Katashiro's hand curls into a fist Higuro is nowhere around to meet. Although Katashiro is brimming with questions about the kids and the monsters, he feels that giving Higuro's "guinea pigs" proper names in place of roll call numbers" should take priority.

Still. Why is Higuro experimenting on children, anyway?

Katashiro decides to nickname Number Thirty-Six and his little sister, who Katashiro assumes is Thirty-Seven, Trix and Teven respectively. He crooks his finger. "Come at me, Trix."

Trix drops into a sprinter's four-point start position, but its someone else's distant footsteps that start to pound. Misaki Sakimiya, Corpse God, and especially Xiaoyu stand at attention, what with Sayo Shinoyama and Teven vulnerable.

Down the corridor charges a slavering runaway werewolf and atop it his teenage jockey, pulling the rein around the werewolf's neck to no avail. Trix stares aghast at the werewolf's gaping maw and thrusting hand.

"Fa...ther...?"

With one swat, Trix is sent hurtling across the storage room and into its back wall, which fragments from the impact.

Katashiro retaliates by driving the brunt of his shoulderblade and his back into the werewolf's torso. Misaki looks down at the dice boasting ones and zeros at her feet and wonders when Katashiro rolled them.

Critical hit.

Yumeji and his bag are thrown off the werewolf due to the inertia shift, while Katashiro propels the werewolf in the direction whence he came. As Yumeji reorients himself, he comes face to face with his childhood friend Polka Shinoyama.

"...No," he amends. His expression, momentarily unguarded, glazes over with obsession. He reaches out one bloody hand.

"You—who are you?"
