Hiyama was inside her private room of the hospital within the island while looking at Akoya who hadn"t woken up for a while. Even though the doctor had said that everything was alright, she didn"t know why he hadn"t opened his eyes. She suddenly remembered what Yuuki had told her before and shook her head. Hiyama was very scared and could only hug Akoya who had lost consciousness on the bed.

They were outside of their villa making a BBQ while talking to each other.
The wind was quite very good and even though it was night, it wasn"t that windy making the temperature very comfortable.
Rossweisse was drinking alcohol on the bench and became very drunk at this moment.
Yuuki sighed at this woman and brought her back to the villa to take her to rest. He also opened his phone to call his girlfriends at home and tell them what had happened. He could use teleportation to bring all of them here, but he decided to not do it since it would be a trouble if someone asked him how he could bring them here. He also had been feeling weird and that feeling was a similar feeling when he was together with Conan.
Yuuki felt that something would happen in this tournament and that also wouldn"t be a small thing. He suddenly wondered whether he was also that main character who would bring disaster where he would go. He shook his head and thought that at least he was better than Conan.
Then suddenly the screen on the television started to change and also there was a huge screen which appeared in their villa.
"h.e.l.lo, everybody! Are we having fun?"
"......"
They saw the figure of an elderly man on the screen and they knew very well that this person was the current chairman of the Kengan a.s.sociation, Katahara Metsudo.
"I know that it is quite sudden, but I"d like to announce an additional rule," Katahara said.
"Also, this video is being broadcasted on the entire island. It would be, how you say "unfair" if you had information that people who didn"t attend the party didn"t have."
Shouko sighed in relief when she heard it.
Yuuki felt that Shouko"s reaction was quite funny and patted her head.
"Okay then, here it goes...." Katahara took a deep breath and said, "From the second round on, you"re allowed to subst.i.tute your fighter no more than once. You"re free to select anyone, so long as you have their consent."
Yuuki raised his eyebrow when he heard this announcement. He suddenly thought about the CEO who was behind Julius, Nikaido, and Meguro who had been killed by Muteba. However, he didn"t think that the CEO needed to change his fighter. He thought for a while and remembered something. "Is the CEO employed by Bando Yohei? Or might it be Cosmo?" He thought that there was a possibility since the injuries of both Bando and Cosmo were quite bad, especially Bando since his body had been inserted by a virus by Hajime, but he wasn"t that must cornered about this since this announcement wouldn"t affect him.
Yuuki was the leader of his company and he was also the fighter of his company. No company would be able to poach him and he also wouldn"t accept their offer either. However, he was a bit curious about whether there was a person who wanted to recruit him to become their fighter even though the chance was very low.
"A subst.i.tution can be made right up until the match begins, so give it a good think. That"s all. Bye-bye!"
The screen turned black and the announcement was over.
Haibara who was eating asked, "Is this a problem?"
Yuuki shook his head and said, "If I"m using a representative fighter rather than myself then it will be trouble."
Yuuki was sure that a lot of compies who had gone to the next round would try to poach the strong fighters in this tournament such as Kanoh, however, he knew that impossible since the company who had continued to the next round also wouldn"t let the other companies poach their fighters that easily.
It would become a war between interests, but to poach Kanoh, Gaolang, or Gensai were simply impossible.
Haibara nodded and said, "Well, I guess there is a company whose fighters can"t continue fighting." The one she mentioned was Bando who had been stabbed by Hajime"s sword in the tournament.
"That"s true." Yuuki nodded and continued to have a BBQ with everyone.
Karla and Elena decided to go back after they had eaten since Karla"s uncle had come to bring her back.
Yuuki decided to accompany Elena back to her older brother"s room since she was worried that when her brother opened his eyes, her brother would be very worried if he didn"t see her figure beside him.
Yuuki didn"t think much and thought that Elena"s brother had a sister complex, but when he thought about the upbringing between two siblings he didn"t think that it was something weird since in life between two of them they could only rely upon each other. He was sure that if he was in Mokichi"s position then he wouldn"t agree with anyone getting close to such a cute sister. Unfortunately, he was on a different side and it would be a crime if he didn"t flirt with Elena.
Elana smiled and kissed Yuuiki"s cheek before running away back to her brother"s room.
Yuuki touched his cheek with a smile then went ignoring the jealous gaze of Katahara"s bodyguard.

It was in the middle of the night and there was a large ship that ported on the side of the island then a group of people with white suits started to jump out from the ship.
Among those groups of men, there were two people who were wearing a black suit and seemed quite conspicuous between the white suit group.
One of them had long blonde hair, and the other one had quite a bulky body. Both of them were wearing large hats on their heads, making it hard to see their appearance.
Two of them moved on their own and left the group to enter this island.
