Many booby traps guard the path to the Guild and the SSS finds them reactivated as Angel approaches the Guild. Low on supplies, Yuri leads nine other SSS members to the Guild far below the surface, where their allies make the weapons. At the meal, Otonashi tries to make sense of it all.

There, he joins the SSS, and Yuri briefs Otonashi that since they are in the afterlife, none of them can truly die but they can disappear if they start living a normal school life, which is why they resist Angel. The next day, he is cut a hundred times by Noda, and finally, he wakes up in the SSS room, where he meets the core SSS members. Otonashi asks for proof, and then Angel impales him and he survives despite the mortal injury. Yuri offers Otonashi to join the SSS against Angel, but Otonashi talks to Angel instead, who informs him that everyone is dead. Immediately, he meets Yuri Nakamura, while she aims a sniper rifle at the student council president, Angel.
