Preview
All of a sudden, the 2nd Squad Jam was announced to all players in Gun Gale Online. Although the victor of the first tournament, LLENN (Kohiruimaki Karen), heard the notification, she did not really feel interested in it.

However, a mysterious stalker crept up on Karen and told her that people would die on the night of the 2nd Squad Jam. The man claimed that the "worst case" could only be avoided by defeating Pitohui, who would be participating in the tournament. After much anguish, Karen decided to participate in the tournament, but......

Prologue
On March 16, 2026, nineteen days before the 2nd Squad Jam, Kohiruimaki Karen was cornered by a man, who had slammed his right hand on the wall beside her left ear. When Karen thought that her situation was reminiscent of a shoujo manga trope, the man, a little shorter than her, suddenly asked whether she had ever seriously loved someone to the point she would be willing to devote her life to them. After she declined, the man exclaimed that she absolutely did not understand how he felt, confusing Karen as a result.
