# Gods' Games We Play
In a world of idle gods, humans are forced into brain challenges with them. With three defeats, humans lose their right to challenge, while 10 victories spell triumph. Fay, determined to achieve the impossible, enters the ultimate test of wits against the gods. Will he defy divinity or is he just another loss in the making?

**[00:10] Team Member A**
A girl?!
**[00:11] Team Member B**
Impossible! She's inside
a glacier from the Ice Age!
**[00:21] Team Member A**
Contact the Arcane Court immediately!
**[00:23] Team Member C**
Yes, sir!
**[00:24] Leshea**
Well, this isn't good.
**[00:27] Leshea**
Has it been a thousand years?
Two thousand?
**[00:32] Team Member A**
Could it be?
**[00:34] Leshea**
I guess I might've overslept.
**[00:39] Team Member A**
Who are you?
**[00:42] Leshea**
Me?
**[00:43] Leshea**
I'm a former god.
**[00:45] Leshea**
But that hardly matters.
**[00:49] Leshea**
Bring me this era's very best player.

Yeah, totally! Why don't
we watch it together?
**[01:30] High School Girl A**
Sure!
**[01:40] Fay**
I guess it's been six months now.
**[01:44] Reporter/DJ**
* A Salamander! It's letting lose*

**[01:44] Fay**
The gods' games?
**[01:46] Fay**
They're doing three at once?
**[01:49] Reporter/DJ**
*And the apostles are dodging each one!*
**[01:52] Reporter/DJ**
*They're showing some excellent moves as they draw nearer to the Salamander!*

**[02:38] Fay**
I guess I should get going.
After all, I'm also a challenger.
**[02:42] Random Spectator**
Isn't that Fay?
**[02:44] Crowd 2**
He's back?
**[02:46] Rando 3**
*Fay's here? Where?*

Ruin Branch Office of the Arcane Court
**[03:00] Rookie Apostle A**
Hey, look.
**[03:02] Rookie Apostle B**
I-Is that Fay?
**[03:03] Rookie Apostle C**
I've never seen him before.
**[03:08] Miranda**
Welcome back, Fay. I believe
it's been about six months.
**[03:11] Miranda**
Did you lose some weight?
**[03:13] Fay**
Yeah, a bit. More importantly,
what's going on, Chief Secretary?!
**[03:18] Miranda**
So apparently this girl you spent six months looking for turned out to be the wrong person?
**[03:24] Fay**
Yes.
**[03:25] Fay**
Didn't you say that you found
someone who looked just like her?
**[03:29] Fay**
The girl I was looking for had bright red hair.
**[03:33] Miranda**
The lady who taught you how to play games when you were younger, right?
**[03:36] Miranda**
All I said was that I heard
rumors of someone like that.
**[03:40] Miranda**
But anyway...
**[03:41] Miranda**
I need to speak with you.
**[03:44] Miranda**
Come up to the 17th floor.
**[03:45] Fay**
About what?
**[03:47] Miranda**
What else?
**[03:49] Miranda**
We're going to talk about the game
between humanity and the gods.
**[03:55] Miranda**
There's a girl I'd like you to meet.
**[03:58] Miranda**
She apparently said, "Bring me
this era's very best player."
**[04:02] Miranda**
And that's basically you, Fay.
**[04:05] Fay**
Who is this girl?
**[04:07] Miranda**
A god.
**[04:09] Miranda**
A year ago, a god in the form of a girl was dug out of some permafrost.
**[04:16] Fay**
Wasn't she taken into our Arcane
Court because we were close by?
**[04:23] Miranda**
She's definitely a strange one.
**[04:25] Miranda**
She hid on the sea floor while
playing tag with some humans.
**[04:30] Miranda**
But while she was hiding...
**[04:34] Miranda**
she fell asleep and
headed right into the Ice Age.
**[04:37] Miranda**
She accidentally napped for the last
three thousand years, totally frozen.
**[04:40] Fay**
Can you really call that a nap?
**[04:43] Miranda**
She's apparently an avatar of
flame in the form of a dragon
**[04:48] Miranda**
and says that she's a former god
whose powers have declined.
**[04:52] Miranda**
She's still pretty menacing though.
**[04:54] Fay**
What do you mean?
**[04:55] Miranda**
We definitely shouldn't make her angry.
**[04:57] Miranda**
Within an hour, this city would disappear off
the world map and be reduced to ashes.
**[05:01] Fay**
So why are you holding onto
such a dangerous god?
**[05:06] Miranda**
Well, we didn't think she was
that dangerous at first.
**[05:12] Miranda**
Let's get down to business.
**[05:13] Miranda**
You'll be watching over this god, Fay.
**[05:17] Fay**
Sorry, what?
**[05:19] Fay**
You want me to watch over a god?!
**[05:25] Miranda**
Superior spiritual beings known
as gods have descended to Earth...
**[05:29] Miranda**
and we humans still don't know why.
**[05:33] Miranda**
I'd like to know why she's still here.
**[05:35] Miranda**
But if we get too nosey
and make her mad...
**[05:38] Fay**
We'd all be in big trouble.
**[05:41] Miranda**
That's why you're perfect for this job.
**[05:44] Miranda**
Actually, you're the only
one who can do this.
**[05:47] Fay**
Because I won't die?
**[05:49] Miranda**
Correct. The power of the gods is just too
great and can destroy humans easily.
**[05:53] Miranda**
That's why we need to ask you to do this
since you possess the Arise to not die.
**[06:00] Miranda**
She chose you herself.
**[06:03] Miranda**
Well, you're going to have to
put on a little show, but...
**[06:07] Miranda**
Don't worry. You won't be going it alone.
**[06:15] Fay**
Huh...
**[06:16] Fay**
*I guess this god must truly love games.*
**[06:27] Fay**
Four and six.
**[06:32] Miranda**
Wait, was that a coincidence?
**[06:33] Fay**
It's easy.
**[06:35] Fay**
Make sure the opposite side
of the desired numbers are facing up.
**[06:39] Fay**
Then throw them with enough
force to make them do a half turn.
**[06:43] Leshea**
Oh, Miranda.
**[06:56] Leshea**
Hey, Miranda. Is that human...
**[07:00] Miranda**
This is this era's very best
player that you've been asking for.
**[07:04] Miranda**
Ever since he debuted last year,
he's won three gods' games in a row.
**[07:08] Miranda**
He's an apostle that's the top of the line.
**[07:10] Miranda**
This is Fay. He's been assigned here
as a supervisor starting today.
**[07:14] Miranda**
This is Lady Leoleshea. Say hello.
**[07:18] Miranda**
Hmm?
**[07:19] Fay**
She just happens to look like her, right?
**[07:22] Miranda**
Earth to Fay.
**[07:25] Leshea**
Is something the matter, human?
**[07:29] Miranda**
Anyway, I gotta get back to work,
**[07:31] Miranda**
so you two can introduce yourselves
and get to know each other better.
**[07:34] Miranda**
Fay, don't mess up this supervisor role.
**[07:42] Fay**
Uh, um...
**[07:45] Fay**
Lady Leoleshea?
**[07:50] Leshea**
Well, let's get started.
**[07:52] Leshea**
You and I are going to play a game.
**[07:55] Fay**
Before that, why don't we introduce ourselves?
**[07:58] Fay**
Since I'll be a supervisor, I was hoping
we could get to know each other...
**[08:02] Leshea**
We're going to be introducing
ourselves through this game.
**[08:08] Fay**
*This isn't a gods' game...*
**[08:11] Fay**
*is it?*
**[08:13] Fay**
*We're not in an Elements either.*
**[08:15] Leshea**
Hmm? What is it?
**[08:17] Fay**
Err, nothing...
**[08:20] Fay**
Name, age, hometown, hobbies, dreams...
**[08:26] Leshea**
I made these when I got bored.
**[08:28] Leshea**
I call it Self-Intro Memory.
**[08:32] Fay**
That name's pretty straightforward.
**[08:34] Leshea**
The rules are the same as a regular game of Memory.
**[08:37] Leshea**
But you won't be pairing with numbers.
**[08:40] Leshea**
You'll be pairing with the
subject and theme of the self-intro.
**[08:45] Leshea**
For example, if I happen to match "hometown,"
you'll answer with your hometown.
***SIGN*** Hometown
**[08:51] Leshea**
If I don't get a match, you don't need to answer.
**[08:53] Fay**
Understood.
**[08:56] Leshea**
Just answer truthfully to
whatever the matched pair says.
**[09:01] Fay**
Of course.
**[09:03] Fay**
Oh, one sec.
**[09:04] Fay**
Could you reshuffle those cards?
**[09:08] Fay**
When you lined them up on the table,
you had them all facing up, didn't you?
**[09:11] Fay**
To explain the rules to me.
**[09:13] Leshea**
You memorized the locations
of all the cards that quickly
**[09:17] Leshea**
and then saw how they all shuffled?
**[09:20] Fay**
It's a habit of mine.
**[09:21] Fay**
A certain person almost trained me
to death on how to play games.
**[09:25] Leshea**
Nice. I like you.
**[09:29] Leshea**
Especially the fact that you didn't want
to use a cheat where you memorized
**[09:32] Leshea**
all the cards and want to play
against a god fair and square.
**[09:36] Leshea**
In that case, maybe we shouldn't play
this game on such a small table.
**[09:43] Leshea**
Float and begin turning.
**[09:52] Fay**
Are they all moving at
different orbits and speeds?
**[09:55] Leshea**
Ah, so you've already noticed.
**[09:58] Leshea**
Each card has a different orbit, so I don't
know how they're going to turn either.
**[10:03] Leshea**
This seems more fun, doesn't it?
**[10:06] Fay**
So we're playing a game of 3D Memory...
**[10:10] Fay**
*Once we reveal a card, I won't forget its location...*
**[10:14] Fay**
*and neither will she.*
**[10:16] Fay**
* So she basically added on a rule that'll*
* continuously keep changing the cards' locations.*
**[10:21] Leshea**
Oh, one last thing.
**[10:24] Leshea**
I want to add a unique rule.
**[10:26] Fay**
What kind of rule?
**[10:28] Leshea**
The "Absolutely One Turn Only" rule.
**[10:31] Leshea**
* In a regular game of Memory, you get a*
* matching pair, you get another turn, right?*
**[10:37] Leshea**
That's not going to happen in this game.
**[10:39] Fay**
I see.
**[10:40] Fay**
* Out of all games, that added rule*
* is going to be a pain.*
**[10:46] Fay**
* Which means this is no longer*
* just a game of memorization.*
**[10:53] Leshea**
Okay, let the game start!
**[10:55] Fay**
I'm ready when you are.
**[10:57] Sign**
Gods' Games We Play
**[11:04] Miranda**
Looks like it's begun.
**[11:10] Leshea**
Okay, let's begin.
**[11:12] Leshea**
You can have the first turn.
**[11:15] Fay**
If you insist. I'll take those two.
**[11:22] Fay**
Huh... Hometown and blood type.
**[11:23] Sign**
Blood type Hometown
**[11:26] Fay**
Do gods even have blood?
**[11:29] Leshea**
It's even hotter than lava.
**[11:31] Leshea**
If there were even a single drop,
this whole building would melt.
**[11:35] Fay**
That's quite the calamity...
**[11:38] Leshea**
If you want to know more, make sure
you match the "blood type" cards.
**[11:42] Leshea**
Okay, now it's my turn.
**[11:49] Fay**
That posture's a bit...
**[11:50] Leshea**
What's the matter?
**[11:52] Fay**
Do gods not understand the
concept of undergarments?
**[11:56] Leshea**
Yeah... I honestly don't get
the point of underwear.
**[12:01] Leshea**
Clearly, clothes already exist to cover your
skin, so why wear anything underneath?
**[12:06] Fay**
It's making it hard for me to concentrate.
**[12:09] Leshea**
Well, it wouldn't be very fair
if you can't concentrate.
**[12:13] Leshea**
Okay, I've decided. I'll take
that one and that one.
**[12:20] Leshea**
Aw, too bad.
**[12:20] Sign**
Hometown Name
**[12:21] Leshea**
I got hometown and name so no match.
**[12:25] Leshea**
Now we've seen both hometown cards,
but do you know where they are now?
**[12:31] Fay**
The card that was revealed just now
is currently right behind me.
**[12:34] Fay**
It's the second one from
the back in that group of four.
**[12:36] Fay**
And the one I revealed earlier
**[12:38] Fay**
is third from the right out of the six
cards turning by the window right now.
**[12:45] Sign**
Hometown Hometown
**[12:45] Fay**
Now, I've matched the hometown cards.
**[12:47] Leshea**
Ooh!
**[12:49] Leshea**
Okay, I guess I'll answer now.
**[12:50] Leshea**
I think most gods share the same answer...
**[12:53] Leshea**
but I'm from Elements.
**[12:54] Sign**
Elements
The Playground of the Gods
**[12:56] Leshea**
It's the space you humans call
the superior spiritual realm.
**[13:00] Leshea**
It's where the gods live,
**[13:01] Leshea**
so did you know that humans
need a special door to enter there?
**[13:06] Fay**
Yes. I was using it up until six months ago.
**[13:10] Miranda**
The gods are starved for games.
**[13:13] Miranda**
* Because the gods were so bored,*
* they gave humans Arises so that*
**[13:14] Sign**
The Seven Covenants of the Gods' Games
**[13:17] Miranda**
*the humans could challenge them to games.*
**[13:20] Miranda**
*Humans who receive an Arise from the gods will become an apostle.*
**[13:21] Sign**
Rule 1
Humans who receive an Arise from the gods will become an apostle
**[13:24] Miranda**
* Humans who become apostles*
* will be able to challenge the gods*
**[13:25] Sign**
Arise
**[13:28] Sign**
Rule 2
Humans who receive Arises will gain
superhuman or magical powers and be able
to challenge the gods to a battle of wits
**[13:29] Miranda**
* to a battle of wits with either*
* superhuman or magical powers.*
**[13:35] Miranda**
*All gods' games will take place within Elements.*
**[13:36] Sign**
Rule 3
All gods' games will take place within Elements
**[13:40] Sign**
Rule 4
Arises can only be used within Elements
**[13:40] Miranda**
*As a reward for winning a game,*
**[13:42] Miranda**
* the apostle will be able to use part*
* of their Arise in the real world.*
**[13:44] Sign**
Rule 5
If an apostle wins in a gods' game, they will
be able to use part of their Arise in the real world.
The more they win, the more powers
they'll be able to use in the real world
**[13:47] Miranda**
* Those powers are absolutely*
* necessary to pioneer unexplored lands.*
**[13:51] Miranda**
* Because 93% of the World Continent*
* is hostile and unexplored.*
**[14:01] Sign**
Rule 6
Apostles will lose their right to play after a total of 3 losses
**[14:01] Miranda**
*In the gods' games, an apostle*
**[14:03] Miranda**
* will lose their right to play in the games*
* after a total of three losses...*
**[14:05] Sign**
Rule 7
After winning against the gods 10 times, they will get a "Clear"
**[14:06] Miranda**
*and will receive a "Clear" after ten victories.*
**[14:09] Miranda**
* Humanity has been tasked to complete*
* the game, in other words, a "Clear."*
**[14:13] Miranda**
*Apostles are then given a "Celebration,"*
**[14:16] Sign**
Clear
By receiving 10 wins against the gods,
the apostle will receive a "Celebration"
**[14:16] Miranda**
*but we're still uncertain of what exactly that entails.*
**[14:21] Miranda**
No human has pulled off this feat yet,
**[14:25] Miranda**
but maybe Fay can.
**[14:27] Fay**
I'm actually slightly surprised that
you're not hesitating to answer at all.
**[14:32] Leshea**
Of course I'm not.
**[14:34] Leshea**
That's just one of the rules of this game.
**[14:36] Leshea**
Rules aren't meant to be mere restraints.
**[14:38] Fay**
So they're meant to be enjoyed?
**[14:40] Leshea**
Correct! You're exactly right.
**[14:43] Leshea**
On that note, I guess I'm up next.
**[14:46] Leshea**
That one and that one.
**[14:51] Leshea**
Hey, I matched the name cards.
**[14:52] Sign**
Name
**[14:54] Leshea**
So, what's your name?
**[14:55] Fay**
Oh, right. I hadn't actually
introduced myself yet.
**[14:58] Fay**
My name is Fay Theo Philus.
**[15:00] Fay**
As you saw, Chief Secretary Miranda
dragged me here.
**[15:04] Leshea**
What's your nickname?
**[15:05] Fay**
No one's ever called me
anything other than "Fay."
**[15:08] Fay**
I see. I guess nicknames
count for the name card, too.
**[15:13] Fay**
* I guess that's something fitting*
* to add on in a game of self-intros.*
**[15:16] Fay**
* What questions can you think*
* up from the cards you match?*
**[15:20] Fay**
* If you're witty enough, you can stretch out the*
* range of questions as much as you want.*
**[15:24] Fay**
*But...*
**[15:25] Fay**
*This isn't a game where you just pick cards.*
**[15:29] Fay**
*Even if I know where the cards are,*
**[15:32] Fay**
*not taking some cards will lead to "my" victory.*
**[15:34] Fay**
* This is an informational game where you*
* have to make a selection with each turn.*
**[15:42] Fay**
*I'm starting to gather enough information...*
**[15:45] Fay**
* I'm pretty sure I know where*
* the cards that I need are.*
**[15:48] Fay**
*All that's left is what she's after.*
**[15:50] Leshea**
Next, it's my turn.
**[15:56] Fay**
Oh...
**[15:58] Fay**
*There's nothing written on those cards.*
**[16:00] Fay**
* Which means whoever gets those cards*
* can ask whatever question they'd like.*
**[16:05] Fay**
* In a regular deck of cards,*
* those would be the jokers.*
**[16:07] Fay**
* Those were one of the*
* pairs I was trying to get.*
**[16:11] Leshea**
I totally wanted these cards.
**[16:13] Leshea**
Human, you remember our first promise, right?
**[16:16] Fay**
Well, yes...
**[16:18] Leshea**
In that case, my question to you is...
**[16:23] Leshea**
Human, what is the real reason
you tried to get closer to me?
**[16:29] Leshea**
Answer me, human. I will not allow
any falsities to my question.
**[16:37] Fay**
*"Former god" my ass.*
**[16:39] Fay**
*She is very much a god!*
**[16:48] Fay**
* If you have someone to play with,*
* any game is enjoyable!*
**[16:53] Fay**
So we both had the same motive.
**[16:56] Fay**
While we casually played the game, we
were both actually aiming for the wild cards.
**[17:02] Fay**
But of course you were.
**[17:04] Fay**
Since that's what I was after, of course,
a god would be after them, too.
**[17:09] Fay**
I knew a god like you would see through
Chief Secretary Miranda's motive.
**[17:14] Fay**
But that's fine with me since
I got to play a fun game.
**[17:18] Fay**
I'll answer you.
**[17:19] Fay**
Honestly speaking, my goal is to
keep an eye on you, Lady Leoleshea.
**[17:26] Miranda**
Wait!
**[17:26] Miranda**
You're going to reduce our
city to ashes if you tell her that!
**[17:30] Fay**
Miranda wanted to find out who you truly
are and what your motive was.
**[17:36] Leshea**
Well... I asked because
I figured as much, but...
**[17:42] Leshea**
You answered me honestly and earnestly,
played this game with me...
**[17:45] Leshea**
You are a good human.
**[17:47] Fay**
I'm not sure how to react to that...
**[17:50] Leshea**
I told you from the beginning,
didn't I? That I liked you.
**[17:54] Leshea**
If I didn't, I wouldn't have bothered
asking that question.
**[17:56] Leshea**
I wouldn't pose it to
a human I didn't trust.
**[18:02] Leshea**
I'm going to call you "Fay!"
**[18:04] Leshea**
You can call me "Leshea."
**[18:06] Leshea**
No need to be formal with me.
**[18:08] Leshea**
These games will be no fun
if there's a distance between us.
**[18:10] Fay**
We sure didn't waste any time...
**[18:12] Fay**
Are you sure it's okay
to be so friendly with me?
**[18:15] Leshea**
Yup! You lived up to this game's potential!
**[18:19] Leshea**
The cards you had gathered are
dreams, hometown, and hobbies.
**[18:20] Sign**
Dreams
**[18:22] Sign**
Hometown
**[18:23] Leshea**
You weren't trying to "win" against
me in the first place, were you?
**[18:25] Sign**
Hobbies
**[18:27] Fay**
Precisely.
**[18:29] Fay**
The true nature of this game is even if
you know where a card is, don't take it.
**[18:34] Fay**
Because this is not the same game
**[18:35] Fay**
as the original where the
goal is to get more pairs.
**[18:39] Fay**
For example, I shouldn't take this name card.
**[18:43] Fay**
Because I already knew that your
name is Lady Leoleshea.
**[18:47] Fay**
Since we don't get another
turn after getting a pair,
**[18:50] Fay**
I would've just wasted my whole turn.
**[18:52] Fay**
*Because of the additional rule,*
**[18:54] Fay**
* you're always weighing the cards you*
* memorized against the information you want.*
**[18:59] Fay**
*It's a game of information.*
**[19:02] Fay**
*Seriously... talk about a fun modification.*
**[19:06] Leshea**
Oh, hey. I have a question for
you, so answer me.
**[19:10] Leshea**
This goes for the dreams cards, too, but you
wanted to know what my motive was, right?
**[19:14] Leshea**
What were you planning to ask me
if you had gotten the blank cards?
**[19:18] Fay**
Would you have been so kind to answer me?
**[19:20] Fay**
Oh, right. I guess we don't need to be formal.
**[19:23] Fay**
So you're willing to answer my question?
**[19:26] Leshea**
That depends on the question.
**[19:28] Fay**
Why do you stay here instead of
returning to Elements?
**[19:32] Fay**
Also, why did you choose me?
**[19:35] Fay**
There are plenty of apostles
ranked higher than me.
**[19:38] Leshea**
Because...
**[19:41] Leshea**
You're the only rookie to
get three wins in a row, right?
**[19:45] Leshea**
Even in the last century, I heard that only
a few rookies would compare to that.
**[19:50] Leshea**
And, I want to Clear the
gods' games with you.
**[19:54] Fay**
The gods' games?
**[19:57] Leshea**
I came down to this realm because
I wanted to play with the humans...
**[20:00] Leshea**
But apparently it's a one way trip from
Elements to this physical world.
**[20:05] Leshea**
So I can't go back to being a god!
**[20:08] Leshea**
Whoopsie!
**[20:09] Fay**
Is "whoopsie" the right word to use here?!
**[20:10] Leshea**
It's fine. I just need to play the gods' games.
**[20:14] Fay**
Meaning...?
**[20:16] Leshea**
I'm going to get ten victories in the gods' games.
**[20:19] Leshea**
Then I can go back to being a god.
**[20:22] Fay**
Wait... You actually know
what the Celebration is?
**[20:24] Fay**
The reward you get for
winning the gods' games?
**[20:26] Leshea**
Of course. It's pretty much what you humans
have been theorizing for a while:
**[20:30] Leshea**
"The gods will grant you a single wish."
**[20:33] Leshea**
You guys basically weren't off the mark.
**[20:36] Fay**
So it is true. But what do
you mean by "basically"?
**[20:40] Fay**
So that's not completely true?
**[20:42] Leshea**
It's not just one wish.
**[20:44] Leshea**
You can have hundreds, thousands...
However many you want.
**[20:47] Fay**
Just how generous are they?!
**[20:49] Leshea**
But not a single human's achieved this before.
**[20:51] Fay**
That's true...
**[20:53] Leshea**
Which means...
**[20:55] Leshea**
That's settled!
**[20:56] Fay**
Sorry, what?
**[20:57] Leshea**
Off we go!
**[20:59] Fay**
Hey, wait! Leshea?!
**[21:07] Fay**
What are you planning to do?
**[21:08] Fay**
Huh?
**[21:11] Fay**
A Divine Gate?
**[21:13] Fay**
Wait, this is...
**[21:15] Sign**
Ruin Branch Office of the Arcane Court Dive Center
**[21:15] Fay**
The Dive Center?
**[21:19] Leshea**
I can't wait any longer!
**[21:22] Leshea**
I've been waiting to find a
human like you forever!
**[21:34] Leshea**
Our gods' game is about to begin!
**[21:42] Sign**
The Superior Spiritual Realm "???"
**[21:59] Meep**
Okay, time for Hide-and-God-Seek!
Let the games begin!
**[22:02] All**
Now, hang on a second!

Okay, time for Hide-and-God-Seek!
Let the games begin!
**[00:04] All**
Now, hang on a second!
**[00:12] Captain**
Asta!
**[00:13] Asta**
Right! Konoha, Kyrgis! Hurry!
**[00:16] Konoha**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[00:17] Kyrgis**
Activating now!
**[00:26] Leshea**
You're not going to use your Arise, Fay?
**[00:28] Fay**
It just prevents me from dying.
**[00:31] Leshea**
Ah...
**[00:32] Fay**
Get out of here, Leshea!
**[00:35] Fay**
It's dangerous he—
**[00:41] Leshea**
What?
**[00:43] Fay**
I guess you really are a former god.
**[00:45] Leshea**
This isn't even 100% of my strength.
**[00:47] Leshea**
I can't use all of my god powers.
**[00:55] Leshea**
I guess you can be kinda cute sometimes.
**[00:58] Leshea**
Did you really just get
worried for me just now?

**[01:16] Fay**
Wait, I didn't even agree to pairing up with you.
**[01:19] Fay**
Huh?
**[01:20] Fay**
Wait, this is Elements, isn't it?
**[01:23] Fay**
It looks just like our city...
**[01:26] Leshea**
It probably holds some
meaning for the god here.
**[01:29] Leshea**
There are plenty of gods I don't know about.
**[01:32] Leshea**
Hey, over there.
**[01:34] Captain**
We don't know what's going to happen...
**[01:37] Asta**
Fay?!
**[01:38] Asta**
What happened? I heard that you
were on a leave of absence.
**[01:41] Fay**
Oh, hey, Asta.
**[01:43] Fay**
It's been a while. Actually, I just
came back and got dragged here.
**[01:48] Leshea**
Pleasure to work with all of you.
**[01:50] Asta**
Th-The dragon god?!
**[01:51] Captain**
L-Lady Leoleshea?! Wh-Wh-Wh-What
are you doing here?!
**[01:55] Leshea**
I'm participating, too.
**[01:57] Leshea**
Don't worry. I'm on the human side.
**[02:00] Meep**
Well, hewwo there!
**[02:04] Meep**
Welcome to my god's Elements!
**[02:08] Meep**
I am the meep that lives within
my master Titan's territory.
**[02:12] Meep**
The time has come so no more participants
will be allowed in this game.
**[02:16] Captain**
Broadcast.
**[02:18] Vice Captain**
Right.
**[02:29] Miranda**
Humanity's mission is to
win ten gods' games...
**[02:33] Miranda**
We're counting on you, Fay.
**[02:36] Meep**
Let's see... It looks like there's
a total of eighteen of you here.
**[02:40] Meep**
Then allow me to introduce this game!
**[02:43] Captain**
The Giant God Titan is
a battle game, isn't it?
**[02:45] Glasses Girl Apostle**
The number of total encounters
with the Giant God Titan
**[02:48] Glasses Girl Apostle**
around the world in the
last thirty years is 23.
**[02:50] Glasses Girl Apostle**
This says the probability of us
winning with these numbers is 14%.
**[02:55] Captain**
Perfect. If this is a battle game,
**[02:58] Captain**
we have Lady Leoleshea, the
dragon god, on our side!
**[03:00] Meep**
My lord Titan says he has
grown tired of battle games.
**[03:07] Meep**
The game you'll be playing is...
**[03:09] Meep**
Hide-and-God-Seek!
**[03:11] Glasses Girl Apostle**
I've never heard of that game...
**[03:13] Fay**
Is that basically like
hide-and-go-seek or tag?
**[03:17] Fay**
We run away from Titan in
the area of these buildings.
**[03:21] Fay**
That's why it's Hide-and-God-Seek
instead of hide-and-go-seek.
**[03:23] Fay**
Right?
**[03:25] Meep**
You are precisely right!
**[03:27] Meep**
You cannot go past the light.
**[03:30] Meep**
You will need to run away from
Lord Titan within the square.
**[03:35] Fay**
If this is going to work
like hide-and-go-seek,
**[03:37] Fay**
does that mean we lose
once everyone's caught?
**[03:39] Meep**
That's one of the conditions to lose, yes.
**[03:42] Leshea**
Hm, I see. So there are more ways to
lose than all of us getting caught.
**[03:48] Fay**
Which means that our conditions to win
probably won't be that simple either.
**[03:52] Fay**
Running away so we can win...
That's probably not enough, right?
**[03:55] Meep**
Correct. Running away in Hide-and-God-Seek
can lead you to victory,
**[04:01] Meep**
but it is possible to lose even
if you manage to run away.
**[04:03] Meep**
That's all for the explanation of the rules!
**[04:05] Meep**
By the way, you get a
300-second head start to run!
***SIGN*** Victory
Condition
***SIGN*** Loss Condition 1
Everyone is caught
by Titan
***SIGN*** Loss Condition 2
?????
(Losing is still
possible even if
everyone gets
away)
**[04:19] Captain**
Wh-What the?
**[04:20] Meep**
Whoopsie. Looks like Lord
Titan can't wait any longer.
**[04:24] Meep**
I guess you don't get a head start after all!
**[04:27] All**
What?!
**[04:31] All**
Now, hang on a second!
***SIGN*** The present
**[04:49] Female Apostle**
I-It's so fast!
**[04:50] Apostle A**
Captain, this isn't gonna work!
**[04:52] Apostle A**
Even superhuman powers won't help
us win in a game of tag like this!
**[04:55] Apostle A**
Maybe flight magic...
**[04:57] Apostle A**
N-No, even that wouldn't work!
**[04:59] Captain**
Scatter! Split up and hide in
the shadows of the buildings!
**[05:02] Apostle A**
Yes, sir!
**[05:10] Asta**
At this rate, I won't be able to do anything.
**[05:12] Vice Captain**
On the surface, this is a game of tag,
**[05:14] Vice Captain**
but should we be playing
hide-and-seek instead?
**[05:17] Vice Captain**
Why don't we just hide
in one of the buildings?
**[05:20] Asta**
Th-That's it, Vice-Captain! That way,
we can hide without being found.
**[05:24] Fay**
That's a bad play. Don't do it, Asta.
**[05:27] Asta**
Huh?
**[05:28] Asta**
But why?
**[05:32] Fay**
That thing's got a pretty
good idea of where we are.
**[05:37] Fay**
Look out, Asta!
**[05:40] Vice Captain**
Asta! Run towards us!
**[05:58] Asta**
Wait... didn't I get a game over...?
**[06:05] Asta**
N-No! What is this?!
**[06:10] Asta**
H-Huh? A spell's activating on its own?
**[06:16] Vice Captain**
Have you lost your mind, Asta?!
**[06:18] Asta**
N-No! The spells are just
activating on their own!
**[06:23] Fay**
So I guess this is Hide-and-God-Seek.
***SIGN*** Hidden Rule 1
Those incapacitated by
the god's attack will
become the god's subordinate
**[06:26] Fay**
Of course there'd be hidden rules. This is
a battle of wits against a god after all!
**[06:32] Asta**
Vice-Captain, please run!
**[06:34] Vice Captain**
Are you really saying that as you
rapid fire wind magic at us?!
**[06:44] Vice Captain**
C-Crap!
**[06:56] Apostle B**
N-No way!
**[06:58] Apostle C**
We weren't even touched!
**[07:00] Fay**
It's not just based on touch?
**[07:03] Leshea**
We might be in trouble, too.
**[07:04] Fay**
Yeah, let's get away from here!
**[07:08] Fay**
Now, there are four on the god's side.
**[07:10] Leshea**
It's five if you include Titan.
***SIGN*** Humans
***SIGN*** God
**[07:25] Leshea**
He's not coming after us?
**[07:27] Fay**
Is he saving that for later?
**[07:34] Fay**
If he eliminates everyone other than us,
**[07:36] Fay**
it'll make two on the human side
and seventeen on his.
**[07:38] Fay**
He's going to use all that
strength to attack us.
**[07:41] Leshea**
And until then, he's going to have
all of his subordinates attack us.
**[07:45] Fay**
You know, their bottom halves
are still their usual color.
**[07:48] Fay**
It's so unbalanced.
**[07:50] Asta**
Shut up! My body just keeps chasing you!
**[07:54] Fay**
I guess Asta hasn't exactly game overed.
**[07:57] Leshea**
Yeah. If she was out, she'd be
back in the human world, unharmed.
**[08:02] Fay**
There are still hidden rules in this game.
**[08:05] Fay**
I get that they end up
the same color as Titan,
**[08:08] Fay**
but why is it just their upper bodies?
**[08:25] Asta**
Huh?!
**[08:29] Asta**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[08:31] Fay**
Leshea!
**[08:32] Leshea**
Tag!
**[08:34] Leshea**
Tag complete.
**[08:36] Fay**
Now, she's back on the human side.
**[08:38] Asta**
Huh?
**[08:44] Asta**
Huh? Wha? I'm back to normal?
**[08:49] Fay**
You didn't actually game over.
**[08:51] Fay**
Your lower half didn't
change color after all.
**[08:54] Sign**
Hidden Rule 1
Those incapacitated by the god's
attack will become the god's subordinate
**[08:54] Sign**
Hidden Rule 2
It is possible to
return any of
god's
subordinates
back to the
human side by
tagging them
**[08:57] Fay**
Which means there's a hidden rule to
turn people back to the human side.
**[09:01] Asta**
I-I see!
**[09:06] Fay**
Crap. Guess he's after us again.
**[09:10] Fay**
I guess he can't really leave us alone
**[09:12] Fay**
now that we figured out
how to turn people back.
**[09:14] Fay**
Asta, go hide!
**[09:15] Asta**
Got it!
**[09:21] Leshea**
I think he's happy that you
actually understood his game.
**[09:34] Leshea**
We just keep running, but
what do we need to do to win?
**[09:38] Fay**
Come to think of it, Meep did mention
**[09:40] Fay**
that we could still lose
even if we keep running.
**[09:43] Fay**
I guess it's part of the game to
figure out the condition to win.
**[09:43] Sign**
Loss Condition 1
Everyone is caught
by Titan
**[09:43] Sign**
Loss Condition 2
?????
(Losing is still
possible even if
everyone gets
away)
***SIGN*** Victory Condition
**[09:46] Leshea**
Defeating Titan would just make this a
battle game, so that's probably not it.
**[09:51] Fay**
Maybe if we can run away for a
certain amount of time, we win?
**[09:54] Leshea**
That's possible, but we've
got nothing to prove that.
**[09:57] Fay**
They never said how long we
need to keep running either.
**[10:00] Fay**
In that case...
**[10:06] Leshea**
It's just as I thought.
**[10:08] Fay**
What is?
**[10:09] Leshea**
We totally get each other.
**[10:11] Leshea**
You know exactly what I want
to say, but more importantly,
**[10:14] Leshea**
you're playing this game for real.
**[10:17] Fay**
Huh? Of course, I am. This game
is as thrilling as it gets.
**[10:24] Leshea**
Well, that's what makes us gods happy.
**[10:26] Leshea**
I am a former god myself, after all.
**[10:28] Leshea**
When there's a human who plays
the gods' games seriously...
**[10:33] Leshea**
it makes the game that much fun!
***SIGN*** Games are meant to be fun
**[10:48] Fay**
Though it really sucks when you
lose, so I definitely want to win.
**[10:52] Leshea**
But of course.
**[10:54] Fay**
What is our victory condition?
**[10:56] Fay**
There must've been a hint somewhere.
**[11:08] Captain**
I'm sorry... He got all of us.
**[11:11] Fay**
Yeah, we can see that...
**[11:14] Captain**
But you mustn't give up!
**[11:16] Captain**
Even if it's just the two of you,
you need to keep running!
**[11:21] Fay**
Then please let us go!
**[11:23] Captain**
My legs have a mind of their own!
**[11:29] Fay**
This way!
***SIGN*** Humans
***SIGN*** God
**[11:38] Leshea**
Hiyah!
**[11:43] Leshea**
This is only going to buy
us a few dozen seconds.
**[11:46] Fay**
Probably. Let's hurry!
**[11:53] Fay**
I guess this is why the hidden rule about
**[11:56] Fay**
getting tagged by him exists:
**[11:57] Fay**
humans would be able to pursue us.
**[12:00] Fay**
On top of that...
**[12:03] Fay**
Titan's here, too.
**[12:05] Leshea**
At this rate, we're trapped like rats.
**[12:07] Fay**
It's already enough of a
hassle to keep running,
**[12:09] Fay**
but we still have to figure
out our victory condition.
**[12:11] Leshea**
It'd be nice to have more people on our side.
**[12:14] Leshea**
That Asta girl is hiding, too.
**[12:16] Leshea**
Everyone other than us is pretty much out.
**[12:19] Leshea**
They all flipped over to Titan's side.
**[12:22] Fay**
I see.
**[12:24] Leshea**
What is it?
**[12:25] Fay**
That's it, Leshea! They flipped!
**[12:28] Leshea**
Flipped?
**[12:29] Fay**
I figured it all out.
**[12:31] Fay**
There's actually a third
game in Hide-and-God-Seek.
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[12:40] Fay**
This Hide-and-God-Seek
is a combination of tag,
**[12:43] Fay**
hide-and-go-seek,
and one other game.
**[12:46] Leshea**
Flipped... Third... I get it.
**[12:51] Leshea**
That explains why there are two
lose conditions, as well.
**[12:54] Fay**
Okay, let's split up.
**[13:02] Leshea**
I'll take eight.
**[13:04] Fay**
No. We can split them
in half. Seven per.
**[13:06] Leshea**
You're right. I'll lead them outside.
**[13:09] Fay**
And I'll go up.
**[13:28] Fay**
Damn that Titan...
**[13:30] Fay**
He's destroying all the other
buildings, one after another,
**[13:32] Fay**
and then he's going to destroy this
department store and it'll be checkmate.
**[13:36] Fay**
Please let us make it in
time... Both Leshea and I!
**[13:50] Fay**
He used the apostles that are now his
subordinates to lead me up to the roof...
**[13:58] Fay**
Then he was planning to
finish me off himself.
**[14:09] Captain**
He's doomed...
***SIGN*** Humans
***SIGN*** God
**[14:28] Fay**
Now that all the buildings have been
destroyed, the game's over, right?
**[14:33] Fay**
According to the Hide-and-God-Seek
rules, I'm not incapacitated,
**[14:37] Fay**
so I won't become your subordinate.
**[14:41] Fay**
The ultimate self-regeneration that
nullifies any kind of meddling
**[14:44] Fay**
and restores me to how I was.
**[14:47] Fay**
My Arise is called...
**[14:49] Fay**
"May Your God."
**[14:51] Fay**
I'm sure you think you've won
even if I'm back since it's now
***SIGN*** Humans
***SIGN*** God
**[14:55] Fay**
humans 3 versus 16 on
your side, don't you?
**[14:57] Fay**
But it's the opposite.
**[14:58] Fay**
We're the ones who're going to meet
the victory conditions, Titan.
**[15:03] Fay**
Now, it's time to check our answers.
**[15:05] Fay**
The game that was hidden in this game of
Hide-and-God-seek until the end was...
**[15:09] Fay**
Reversi!
**[15:10] Fay**
Though we thought we were playing tag, this
whole city is actually the game board.
**[15:15] Fay**
The god chases after the humans who run away.
**[15:18] Fay**
Subordinates of the god are created
and the remaining humans save them.
**[15:22] Fay**
This clearly means that the god got to
go first and the humans play second.
**[15:26] Fay**
And once the humans touch
the affected humans,
**[15:28] Fay**
their upper halves flip back
to their original color.
**[15:31] Fay**
This was the ultimate hint.
**[15:33] Fay**
Each side was taking a turn.
Touching someone would "flip" them.
**[15:38] Fay**
The game that matches these rules is Reversi!
**[15:41] Leshea**
Your meep is quite efficient.
**[15:44] Leshea**
To think that the explanation
of the rules would be a hint...
**[15:48] Leshea**
The fact that this game is
played within a square field.
**[15:52] Fay**
Reversi is over once the
whole board is one color.
**[15:56] Fay**
In the case of Hide-and-God-Seek,
**[15:57] Fay**
it's when all the buildings have been
destroyed and we can't play anymore.
**[16:00] Leshea**
All that's left is to see who has more
in the end to win. The god or human side?
**[16:05] Fay**
We had a single ray of
hope to win this match...
**[16:09] Fay**
and that's a chain!
**[16:11] Fay**
When Asta and the vice-captain
were touched by the Titan,
**[16:15] Fay**
the two next to them also changed color.
**[16:18] Fay**
The reason Asta slammed
them against the wall
**[16:22] Fay**
was to get them all lined up in
a row between her and the god.
**[16:26] Fay**
That's why the two in between were
also flipped over to the god side.
**[16:29] Fay**
And my goal was to distract you!
**[16:33] Leshea**
We're going to be using
that exact same method.
**[16:37] Fay**
Asta!
**[16:38] Asta**
Dang it, Fay! You need to treat
those older than you with respect!
**[16:46] Fay**
Leshea!
**[16:53] Fay**
And now we flip... everything over!

**[17:56] Miranda**
It's been 35 days since
humanity has had a victory.
**[17:59] Miranda**
Yesterday's match had incredible
ratings all around the world.
**[18:02] Miranda**
It was over 70% in this city alone.
**[18:06] Fay**
That much?
**[18:07] Miranda**
This will help us out a lot.
**[18:09] Miranda**
We need to have the apostles
we nurture with these earnings
**[18:13] Miranda**
do their best and win the gods' games.
**[18:17] Miranda**
So...
**[18:18] Miranda**
How was it teaming up
with Lady Leoleshea?
**[18:21] Fay**
How was it?
**[18:22] Miranda**
You were totally in sync.
**[18:24] Miranda**
It's hard to think you two
were a last-minute pair.
**[18:28] Miranda**
What are your thoughts?
**[18:29] Fay**
Honestly, it's pretty amazing.
**[18:32] Fay**
All I need to do is glance at
her and she totally gets me.
**[18:35] Fay**
I guess that's what you
get with a former god.
**[18:37] Miranda**
Probably, yes.
**[18:40] Miranda**
But it's not because she's a former god.
**[18:42] Miranda**
I believe you were able to pull it
off because you and Lady Leoleshea
**[18:46] Miranda**
worked together.
**[18:50] Miranda**
You see, Lady Leoleshea...
**[18:51] Miranda**
was playing all by herself
while you were gone.
**[18:55] Fay**
By herself?
**[18:56] Miranda**
She's so powerful, no one
stood a chance against her.
**[18:59] Miranda**
Even with cards, Go, and roulette...
**[19:03] Fay**
By herself, huh...
**[19:10] Miranda**
I think you two will be a great team.
**[19:12] Miranda**
Now you're one step closer to
completely Clearing the gods' games,
**[19:16] Miranda**
just like you want.
**[19:18] Fay**
I'll do my very best.
**[19:26] Fay**
That's why I came back after all.
**[19:31] Fay**
Leshea, can I come in?
**[19:34] Leshea**
Sure.
**[19:41] Leshea**
This part here... We ran
into the department store,
**[19:44] Leshea**
but I think we could've turned left
and ran into the arcade's alley here.
**[19:49] Fay**
Are you reflecting on your actions?
**[19:51] Leshea**
Well, I guess that's enough for now.
I've already watched this four times.
**[19:55] Fay**
That's a bit much!
**[19:56] Leshea**
Hey, what's your wish anyway, Fay?
**[20:00] Leshea**
You know. The reward you get after
winning ten times against the gods.
**[20:03] Leshea**
My wish is to go back to being a god.
**[20:10] Fay**
I do have a wish.
**[20:11] Leshea**
Ooh, tell me!
**[20:14] Fay**
There's someone I'm looking for.
**[20:16] Leshea**
Who is it?
**[20:17] Fay**
The person I played games
with all the time as a child.
**[20:22] Fay**
I never found out her name, so
I always just called her "Sis."
**[20:26] Fay**
She taught me everything about games.
**[20:28] Fay**
I was young, so I never won
no matter how many times we played.
**[20:31] Fay**
I'd challenge her day and night... and
she always greeted me with a smile.
**[20:37] Fay**
But one day, she suddenly disappeared...
**[20:41] Fay**
Just leaving behind the
promise of us meeting again.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Young Fay**
Sis!
**[20:50] Leshea**
How strange.
**[20:51] Fay**
I guess you can call her my mentor.
**[20:53] Fay**
I want to see her again
so I can tell her thanks.
**[20:56] Fay**
The reason I'm here right now
is undoubtedly because of her.
**[21:00] Leshea**
Huh...
**[21:01] Fay**
I only have one wish.
**[21:03] Fay**
"Please find this person
I used to play with."
**[21:07] Leshea**
That's an interesting wish.
**[21:10] Leshea**
But, Fay... You have no
clues about her?
**[21:14] Leshea**
All I know is she loves games.
**[21:16] Fay**
I don't know her name, and I only
vaguely remember her voice and face.
**[21:20] Fay**
The one thing I remember for sure...
**[21:23] Fay**
is the fact that she had vermillion-colored
hair, just like you.
**[21:29] Fay**
I was wondering if you and
Sis were somehow connected...
**[21:39] Leshea**
I was stuck inside a glacier
for 3,000 years.
**[21:45] Fay**
Right.
**[21:47] Leshea**
But I hope your wish comes true.
**[21:51] Leshea**
I guess we've got ourselves a team.
**[21:54] Fay**
* It might be fate that I met Leshea,*
* who looks so much like Sis.*
**[21:58] Fay**
Yeah, let's do this.
**[22:01] Fay**
I promise that I'm going
to give this my all.
**[22:04] Fay**
Let's Clear the gods' games!

**[00:00] Leshea**
I've decided to team up with Fay.
**[00:02] Miranda**
That's wonderful. Please work
towards Clearing the gods' games.
**[00:08] Leshea**
Yup! Okay, off I go!
**[00:10] Miranda**
No, you don't.
**[00:11] Leshea**
Why not?!
**[00:15] Miranda**
Fay, did you not explain
anything to Lady Leshea?
**[00:17] Fay**
I explained plenty.
**[00:19] Fay**
I told her we don't have enough
players with just the two of us.
**[00:22] Leshea**
Then how many do we need?
**[00:25] Fay**
That's what she asked me.
**[00:26] Fay**
But I'd figure you'd know the actual
number, Chief Secretary Miranda.
**[00:30] Miranda**
I see. Good point.
**[00:32] Miranda**
But, Fay... What comes to mind
when you see this outfit?
**[00:37] Fay**
Huh? Well, it's a nightgown, right?
**[00:40] Miranda**
Yes. They're pajamas.
**[00:42] Miranda**
Right when I thought I was finally
able to sleep after my night shift!
**[00:45] Miranda**
Even though lack of sleep
is public enemy number one
**[00:48] Miranda**
when it comes to every lady's skin.
**[00:49] Fay**
E-Er... I'm sorry...
**[00:52] Miranda**
The last subordinate that
made the same mistake
**[00:53] Leshea**
Okay, so how many do we need?
**[00:54] Miranda**
was stuck cleaning the courtyard for a month.
**[00:57] Fay**
That's a bit much, isn't it?!
**[00:57] Leshea**
Hello?! How many?
**[00:58] Miranda**
It's a huge sin to interrupt
a lady's beauty sleep!
**[01:00] Leshea**
Hello? How many? How many? How many?!
**[01:01] Fay**
Ugh, okay, already! I said I'm sorry!
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[02:40] Miranda**
Now then, Lady Leshea...
***SIGN*** I'm Pearl Diamond
**[02:42] Miranda**
The Arcane Court recommends
at least ten members per team.
**[02:46] Leshea**
Why though?
**[02:48] Miranda**
Looking at the last thirty
years' worth of data,
**[02:50] Miranda**
any time we challenged the gods
with nine or less on a team,
**[02:52] Miranda**
our win rate was less than 4%.
**[02:54] Miranda**
With ten people, it went up to 9% and
with twenty people, it went up to 11%.
**[02:59] Leshea**
But Fay and I could—
**[03:01] Miranda**
The best strategy with the gods' games
is to let the numbers do the work.
**[03:06] Miranda**
There's only one god against however
many humans we choose to use.
**[03:11] Leshea**
If you're gonna involve people
who don't even love games,
**[03:14] Leshea**
then we're better off
with just the two of us.
**[03:15] Miranda**
Until we get enough people,
**[03:17] Miranda**
we can form alliances with other
teams that don't have enough people.
**[03:21] Miranda**
Right, Fay?
**[03:23] Fay**
Sorry, what?
**[03:24] Miranda**
I'm counting on you to find some
good apostles for Lady Leshea.
**[03:27] Fay**
Wait, that's my job?!
**[03:29] Fay**
Isn't that clearly an admin job?
**[03:32] Miranda**
I'm saying that you two should find
someone who'd get along with you.
**[03:36] Miranda**
Admins don't actually play the games.
**[03:38] Miranda**
All we can do is objectively choose
decent apostles based on reports.
**[03:48] Miranda**
Well anyway, I'm going to sleep.
**[04:01] Leshea**
Hey, you did post that we were looking
for team members online, right?
**[04:05] Fay**
Yeah. If anyone is interested,
they'll contact me.
**[04:08] Leshea**
Then what are we doing here?
**[04:13] Fay**
You see the worker at the booth there?
**[04:15] Fay**
They handle inquiries there.
**[04:17] Fay**
All the team applications
are digitally managed,
**[04:20] Fay**
but there are some problems
that can't be solved that way.
**[04:22] Fay**
For example, it's better to have
someone to talk to about things
**[04:26] Fay**
you can't talk to with your teammates, right?
**[04:28] Fay**
Apostles looking for their next team go
there too, so I'm keeping my eye out.
**[04:33] Fay**
But I'll reach out to a few
people while we're waiting.
**[04:36] Fay**
There's a team called Blaze that I know.
**[04:40] Fay**
Captain Ashlan, it's been a whil—
**[04:42] Ashlan**
*Fay! You finally reached out!*
**[04:46] Ashlan**
* I was shocked when I saw*
* the stream the other day!*
**[04:48] Ashlan**
*I've been wondering what you were up to.*
**[04:51] Ashlan**
* You don't belong to any*
* team right now, right?*
**[04:54] Fay**
Yes. Actually, I was hoping
you'd let me join—
**[04:56] Ashlan**
*Of course! We'll welcome you with open arms!*
**[04:58] Ashlan**
* Now that that's settled, we can*
* do the paperwork today and—*
**[05:00] Fay**
Oh, also, there's a former god
name Leoleshea with me and...
**[05:04] Fay**
Hello?!
**[05:08] Fay**
Why did you hang up?!
**[05:10] Ashlan**
*Would you be willing to join alone?*
**[05:13] Fay**
Did something happen?
**[05:14] Ashlan**
*You don't know?*
**[05:16] Ashlan**
*About the Day of the Blood-soaked God?*
**[05:19] Fay**
What's that?
**[05:21] Ashlan**
* She's a former god, so if anyone*
* makes a mockery of the gods' games,*
**[05:25] Ashlan**
*she can't let that slide.*
**[05:29] Ashlan**
* A certain team that had lost*
* to the gods was frustrated.*
**[05:34] Fay**
Right...
**[05:35] Ashlan**
* They got drunk and rowdy and said,*
* "The gods' games can kiss my ass!"*
**[05:40] Ashlan**
* The one who just happened to pass*
* by then was the dragon god and...*
**[05:46] Fay**
Then what happened?
***SIGN*** °This is how Ashlan imagined it
**[05:48] Ashlan**
*Those twenty apostles
ended up in the hospital.*
**[05:56] Fay**
Leshea?!
**[05:57] Leshea**
'T-'Twas not me!
**[06:00] Fay**
You liar! And why are you talking like that?!
**[06:02] Leshea**
I-I just gave them a simple
shoulder massage...
**[06:06] Fay**
Leshea...
**[06:09] Leshea**
I just... forgot to hold back a bit.
**[06:13] Ashlan**
* I mean, she's definitely super cute, so*
* I'm a bit bummed too, but... Sorry, man.*
**[06:21] Ashlan**
* Though honestly, her boobs*
* could be a bit bigger.*
**[06:30] Leshea**
Boobs come in all shapes
and sizes, you know?
**[06:35] Leshea**
When I chose this form I had no idea
about the preferences of human males.
**[06:42] Fay**
Right.
**[06:42] Leshea**
Even during the ancient
magical civilization days,
**[06:44] Leshea**
people kept saying my boobs were small.
**[06:48] Leshea**
I honestly considered letting
the whole world burn.
**[06:50] Fay**
Are you trying to destroy humanity?!
**[06:51] Leshea**
Or, rather, mine are pretty big, aren't they?!
**[06:56] Fay**
Y-Yup. They sure are...
**[06:59] Leshea**
Very good.
**[07:04] Fay**
Leshea, would you mind if
our captain was a girl?
**[07:08] Leshea**
What about her boobs? Are
they smaller than mine?
**[07:10] Fay**
How the heck should I know?
**[07:12] Fay**
More importantly, the team I'm contacting
next has a really good game analyst.
**[07:17] Leshea**
An analyst?
**[07:19] Fay**
They're staff that analyze the games.
**[07:21] Fay**
It's standard for teams that
participate in the gods' games
**[07:24] Fay**
to have analysts that analyze strategies
**[07:26] Fay**
and coaches to guide the players.
**[07:32] Fay**
Oh, Captain Yuki?
**[07:34] Yuki**
*Oh, Fay. What's up?*
**[07:36] Fay**
Is your team looking for members right now?
**[07:39] Yuki**
*Oho... You're interested in our Black Rose?*
**[07:42] Yuki**
*Just so you know,*
**[07:43] Yuki**
* there are plenty of people who can't join*
* our team no matter how much they want to.*
**[07:47] Fay**
What about me?
**[07:48] Yuki**
*We'll prepare a spot for you immediately.*
**[07:50] Yuki**
*We'd be happy to have you, Fay.*
**[07:52] Fay**
Oh, would one more member be all right?
**[07:54] Yuki**
*Someone you recommend? Sure, but who is it?*
**[07:57] Fay**
Her name is Leoleshea. She's a former god.
**[08:03] Fay**
Captain Yuki?
**[08:04] Yuki**
*N-No!*
**[08:10] Fay**
She literally just screamed. You've
definitely done something else.
**[08:14] Leshea**
Y-Y-Y-You've got it all wrong. 'Twas not me!
**[08:18] Fay**
Now I get it. You speak all
weird when you get flustered.
**[08:22] Leshea**
I-I am proclaiming that I am
not f-flustered, what have you.
**[08:28] Fay**
You liar!
**[08:30] Fay**
The fact that you're trying to speak
like you're some shady ancient god
**[08:33] Fay**
is proof that you're flustered!
**[08:35] Leshea**
O-Okay, fine!
**[08:39] Leshea**
Um... I was bored these past six months,
**[08:42] Leshea**
so I was practicing battle games with
some humans in the underground coliseum.
**[08:47] Fay**
And?
**[08:48] Leshea**
*I* think *the first one was named Yuki...*
**[08:52] Leshea**
* That was when I still didn't*
* know how to hold back...*
**[08:55] Fay**
Well, she's clearly traumatized by it!
**[08:56] Leshea**
I-I mean, I went to visit
her in the hospital!
**[08:59] Fay**
Uh-huh... and?
**[09:02] Leshea**
She screamed and passed out.
**[09:04] Fay**
Why did you have to make her
emotional scars deeper?!
**[09:07] Leshea**
I guess they're calling it the "God
Who Finished the Job Incident."
**[09:11] Fay**
Like I'd know!
**[09:15] Fay**
At this rate, we're probably not going
to have any luck with existing teams.
**[09:20] Leshea**
Sorry... I just wanted to
know more about humans.
**[09:25] Fay**
Don't worry. I know that.
**[09:28] Fay**
*Leshea just wants to play with humans.*
**[09:32] Fay**
* That's why she's working hard to understand*
* them by reading a lot about them.*
**[09:37] Fay**
* Though some of the stuff she's reading is*
* so ancient that she speaks weirdly sometimes.*
**[09:44] Fay**
Even if we can't join any existing teams,
we can just find some people ourselves.
**[09:49] Fay**
Not just for the sake of
finding enough people...
**[09:50] Fay**
but people who understand
how we feel about games.
**[09:52] Leshea**
Yeah.
**[09:54] Fay**
Also, while we're at it, I hope they have
some useful skills for the gods' games.
**[10:00] Fay**
For example, telepo—
**[10:10] Sign**
Gods' Games We Play
**[10:16] Fay**
*A Teleporter?!*
**[10:20] Leshea**
Do you know her, Fay?
**[10:22] Fay**
No.
**[10:26] Leshea**
She probably came from an
upper floor, didn't she?
**[10:30] Fay**
If she did, that's amazing. That's
quite a distance to travel.
**[10:34] Leshea**
Is she looking for a team, too?
**[10:37] Fay**
I'm not sure. Movement skills
are convenient and useful.
**[10:41] Fay**
So, usually, she'd probably have
teams inviting her to join.
**[10:53] Pearl**
I, Pearl Diamond, am retiring as of today!
**[10:56] Fay**
A formal resignation?!
**[10:57] Leshea**
Hold it right there!
**[11:02] Leshea**
Not bad, if I do say so myself.
**[11:05] Pearl**
Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[11:08] Pearl**
What's with those flames?!
**[11:10] Pearl**
Er, wait...
**[11:16] Pearl**
Did anyone ever tell you two that
you look like the dragon god
**[11:19] Pearl**
and that bigshot rookie named Fay?
**[11:21] Fay**
No, because we're actually them.
**[11:23] Pearl**
I-I'm so sorry! I'll make
it up to you by retiring!
**[11:27] Fay**
Again, don't do anything rash!
**[11:30] Fay**
Calm down!
**[11:31] Fay**
We actually want to stop you from retiring!
**[11:34] Pearl**
Huh?
**[11:35] Fay**
We're looking for people
to play the games with us.
**[11:38] Pearl**
I can't.
**[11:39] Fay**
Could you at least hear us out?
**[11:41] Pearl**
I'm sorry.
**[11:42] Fay**
Th-Then, you know!
**[11:44] Fay**
I'll treat you to a parfait over there,
**[11:46] Fay**
so maybe you could listen
to us while you eat—
**[11:48] Pearl**
Sure.
**[11:50] Fay**
Really?!
**[11:57] Pearl**
My name is Pearl Diamond. I'm sixteen.
**[11:59] Pearl**
I have one win and one
loss in the gods' games.
**[12:04] Fay**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[12:06] Pearl**
This is delightful! It's just so delicious!
**[12:11] Fay**
Oh, I see...
**[12:13] Fay**
Anyway, the ability you used
earlier... you teleported, right?
**[12:16] Pearl**
It's called The Wandering.
**[12:18] Fay**
Huh?
**[12:19] Pearl**
That's what I've named my Arise.
**[12:21] Pearl**
"Teleporter" is just so bland.
**[12:24] Fay**
Is it...?
**[12:25] Fay**
*One victory...*
**[12:27] Fay**
* A Rank I apostle being able to jump*
* over a whole floor of a building...*
**[12:30] Fay**
*That's a really powerful ability.*
**[12:33] Fay**
*But she's retiring after just one loss?*
**[12:39] Fay**
* For apostles, the gods' games*
* are basically like a job.*
**[12:42] Fay**
*Just like professional sports players,*
**[12:44] Fay**
* there's blood, sweat, and tears*
* involved with how hard we train.*
**[12:47] Fay**
* And because of that, apostles*
* are treated like idols.*
**[12:49] Fay**
* People come up to them while*
* they're walking through the city*
**[12:51] Fay**
*and some might even get asked for autographs.*
**[12:52] Fay**
*People want to be like them.*
**[12:55] Fay**
* But once they lose three*
* times, that's all over.*
**[12:58] Fay**
* That's exactly why everyone's working*
* so hard to win the games... so why quit?!*
**[13:10] Pearl**
Sorry for having you treat me to all this.
**[13:13] Fay**
Oh, it's totally fi—
**[13:14] Fay**
Wait, how many did you eat?!
**[13:16] Leshea**
She ate thirty-five. She just kept eating
while you were zoning out.
**[13:24] Fay**
By the way, I took a look at the
data for the match you lost.
**[13:29] Fay**
Is that the reason you're retiring?
**[13:32] Pearl**
We lost because of my mistake.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Pearl**
No!
**[13:49] Fay**
If you switched places with your captain,
**[13:52] Fay**
then it's not just a normal
movement ability...
**[13:54] Pearl**
It's a Shift Change.
**[13:56] Leshea**
So you can use two different movement skills.
**[13:58] Pearl**
* Teleport is where you*
* move people or things...*
**[14:02] Leshea**
* And the one where you swap out like*
* with those parfaits is a Shift Change.*
**[14:06] Pearl**
The rule for that particular game
was... to protect the leader.
**[14:12] Fay**
Which caused your whole team to
lose, and now you hate yourself.
**[14:17] Pearl**
The moment I thought I was going
to get crushed, I got scared...
**[14:21] Pearl**
I ended up using my powers without thinking.
**[14:24] Fay**
You may have lost because you
used your powers wrong...
**[14:28] Fay**
but you've probably saved your
team with those powers, too.
**[14:32] Pearl**
I couldn't live up to their expectations.
**[14:36] Pearl**
Shift Change isn't as
all-powerful as people think.
**[14:41] Pearl**
I can't usually swap things unless
I've touched them in the last three minutes.
**[14:45] Pearl**
But sometimes, I get that time wrong.
**[14:49] Pearl**
Because of my mistake... a teammate
retired because they lost three times.
**[14:58] Pearl**
I'm such a coward and a klutz...
**[15:01] Pearl**
I only won once because
of my team... and yet...
**[15:07] Leshea**
One win...
**[15:09] Leshea**
Are you sure you're not
underestimating the gods?
**[15:12] Leshea**
There's no way a team could
win in the gods' games
**[15:15] Leshea**
if one of their members was
holding everyone else back.
**[15:18] Leshea**
Pearl, was it?
**[15:19] Pearl**
Uh, y-yes.
**[15:21] Leshea**
It's fine to make mistakes.
**[15:22] Leshea**
Even if we lose, Fay and I won't blame you for it.
**[15:27] Leshea**
Well... why don't we give it a try once?
**[15:32] Pearl**
I'm sorry! I already decided
that I would retire!
**[15:36] Leshea**
Wait!
**[15:44] Leshea**
Wanna look for someone else?
***SIGN*** Games exist to be enjoyed
***SIGN*** The gods only smile upon
those who reveal miracles
**[16:03] Fay**
Let's look into this a bit more.
**[16:04] Leshea**
Into what?
**[16:06] Fay**
Her dorm room number.
**[16:08] Fay**
I can't help but think it's a
waste if we just end it here.
**[16:11] Leshea**
Because Teleport's so convenient?
**[16:15] Fay**
If she lets things end here,
**[16:16] Fay**
she's going to be scared of
games for the rest of her life.
**[16:19] Fay**
That's a waste, don't you think?
**[16:36] Leshea**
Huh? It's not locked?
**[16:38] Fay**
Wait, did she already move out?!
**[16:41] Fay**
Pearl, are you not in here?!
**[16:44] Fay**
Oh, you are here...
**[16:46] Fay**
Wait a minute.
**[16:48] Pearl**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh...
**[16:51] Leshea**
No way...
**[16:54] Leshea**
Th-They're huge...
**[16:56] Leshea**
They're far too big.
**[16:58] Leshea**
I see...
**[16:59] Leshea**
This is what they call a catastrophe!
**[17:02] Pearl**
What are you talking about?!
**[17:05] Leshea**
Gimme half of your boobies!
**[17:17] Pearl**
Usually, I use warp portals,
**[17:19] Pearl**
so I probably didn't lock my
door... for about six months.
**[17:25] Pearl**
A-And, um, you saw my, uh...
**[17:29] Pearl**
well, various things.
**[17:31] Fay**
Er, I... I'm sorry.
**[17:34] Pearl**
N-No, it's all my fault!
**[17:36] Pearl**
I was just being careless!
**[17:38] Pearl**
Oh, but please take responsibility
for what you did
**[17:40] Pearl**
and make sure I'm happy
for the rest of my life.
**[17:41] Fay**
Just how big is this responsibility?!
**[17:44] Pearl**
I'm kidding.
**[17:48] Pearl**
You see, I debuted last year
just like you did, Fay,
**[17:53] Pearl**
and I really looked up to you since
you were so amazing right off the bat.
**[18:00] Pearl**
That's why I don't think I'd
be a good fit for your team.
**[18:05] Fay**
That's not true...
**[18:08] Pearl**
I'm going to end up holding you back.
**[18:15] Fay**
What are those?
**[18:16] Pearl**
Snacks... because I'm going
to quit being an apostle.
**[18:19] Pearl**
I went to apologize to my teammates,
but they wouldn't accept.
**[18:24] Pearl**
The captain was out, but they all told me
that I have no right to see the captain.
**[18:33] Pearl**
I mean, can you blame them?
**[18:35] Pearl**
Even if I apologize, it's just
going to bring up bad memories.
**[18:39] Leshea**
No!
**[18:41] Pearl**
S-Sorry, what?!
**[18:43] Leshea**
You and that team are absolutely clueless!
**[18:46] Leshea**
Whether you win or lose, it
was fun, so let's play again!
**[18:49] Leshea**
*That's* a real game!
**[18:50] Pearl**
W-Well...
**[18:52] Leshea**
Of course gods are going
to win in gods' games.
**[18:55] Leshea**
It's not right to put
the blame on one person.
**[18:59] Pearl**
I-I'm happy to hear you say that, but...
**[19:06] Pearl**
There's nothing I can do about it.
**[19:10] Fay**
But you can. You can clear your name.
**[19:14] Fay**
Inferno, was it? Let's go with them
the next time they tackle a game.
**[19:19] Pearl**
Huh?!
**[19:20] Fay**
Just do your best then.
**[19:21] Pearl**
I-I can't! Not by myself!
**[19:24] Fay**
That's why I'm saying *we*
should do this together.
**[19:28] Fay**
The three of us together
will help out your old team.
**[19:31] Fay**
Then everything should be fine.
**[19:33] Pearl**
B-But...
**[19:34] Fay**
It's gotta be frustrating if you're
quitting the game from a loss like that.
**[19:45] Fay**
It might be a loss you'll never forget...
but it's still only one loss.
**[19:49] Fay**
You still have a chance at revenge.
**[19:51] Fay**
You have the right to get back at the god.
**[19:55] Pearl**
I...
**[19:57] Fay**
Just come with us this one time. We
won't try to stop you after that.
**[20:03] Pearl**
Jeez...
**[20:04] Pearl**
I've never been scouted this
passionately before.
**[20:10] Pearl**
Thank you very much.
**[20:12] Pearl**
I, Pearl Diamond, may not be
worthy enough, but I'll do this.
**[20:22] Pearl**
N-Never mind, I really can't!
**[20:25] Fay**
Come on. They're just curious.
**[20:32] Miranda**
I broke some rules to tell you what
day Inferno would be diving...
**[20:36] Miranda**
So you definitely better win.
**[20:38] Fay**
Sorry for the trouble.
**[20:40] Miranda**
Well, I'm letting it slide since
you two get excellent ratings.
**[20:44] Miranda**
Pearl.
**[20:45] Pearl**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[20:46] Miranda**
The whole world will be
watching this. Do your best!
**[20:56] Leshea**
This is a game. Let's have some fun.
**[20:59] Pearl**
R-Right!
**[21:03] Orvan**
Let's go.
**[21:03] Inferno**
Yes, sir!
**[21:06] Pearl**
U-Um... I need to steady my breathing
before I enter the Divine Gate...
**[21:10] Leshea**
Let's go.
**[21:13] Pearl**
W-Wait! I'm not mentally prepared yet!
**[21:18] Fay**
You can make up for the loss
in the game with a win.
**[21:21] Fay**
Let's go.
**[21:31] Pearl**
Wha...
**[21:32] Pearl**
What the heck is this?!
**[21:41] Fay**
There's something under the clouds!
**[21:50] Fay**
That's...
**[21:52] Fay**
* In the past, every apostle that's*
* ever faced him has only faced defeat,*
**[21:56] Fay**
*regardless of their methods used.*
**[21:57] Fay**
*A god of despair...*
**[22:02] Fay**
*Uroboros!*
**[22:04] Fay**
Bring it on!
**[22:06] Fay**
I'll happily play...
**[22:07] Fay**
this game of yours!

**[00:01] Pearl**
We're finished!
**[00:04] Fay**
Can't you use Teleport?
**[00:06] Pearl**
The farthest I can teleport is 30 meters!
**[00:10] Pearl**
It'd be pointless this high up!
**[00:15] Pearl**
Leshea...
**[00:16] Leshea**
We should be fine at this speed, right?
**[00:30] Leshea**
Ow!
**[00:31] Fay**
Leshea!
**[00:35] Fay**
Ow!
**[00:37] Pearl**
Ouch...
**[00:40] Fay**
Are we... on top of Uroboros' body?
**[00:44] Fay**
Guess that means that the game's begun.

Uroboros
**[02:25] Apostle A**
Tch.
**[02:30] Fay**
It's all right.
**[02:32] Fay**
Uh, hey. I'm Fay.
**[02:35] Fay**
First, why don't we
exchange some information?
**[02:37] Orvan**
We'd appreciate your help.
**[02:41] Orvan**
I'm Orvan Misketz. I'm the
captain of Team Inferno.
**[02:45] Orvan**
It's been a while.
**[02:47] Pearl**
I-I'm sorry.
**[02:49] Orvan**
Right.
**[02:53] Orvan**
We've already had four members game over.
**[02:55] Orvan**
Three couldn't handle the crash and
were returned to the real world.
**[02:59] Fay**
What about the other one?
**[03:01] Orvan**
It was them.
**[03:07] Pearl**
What's that whale that's flying in the sky?!
**[03:10] Orvan**
The Arcane Court calls them Leviathans.
**[03:13] Orvan**
They wait for humans to
fall off Uroboros' back.
**[03:18] Orvan**
Once their prey come falling, those whales
immediately turn into ferocious piranhas.
**[03:24] Apostle A**
I can't believe we have to go up
against a god who's never lost.
**[03:27] Apostle B**
This sucks...
**[03:29] Apostle C**
We only have one more loss
before we have to retire.
**[03:32] Orvan**
You all need to cheer up! Don't
forget this is being streamed.
**[03:38] Orvan**
People around the world
are watching our fight.
**[03:42] Orvan**
Don't let them see you acting pathetic.
**[03:43] Team**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[03:51] Pearl**
Is that the meep here?
**[03:53] Meep**
There's no point in me explaining anything.
**[03:57] Fay**
Hey, what kind of game does
Uroboros want to play with us?
**[04:02] Meep**
The Forbidden Word. If you make my
master say a certain word, you win.
**[04:07] Pearl**
And what's the special word?
**[04:10] Meep**
The game's objective is
to find out that word.
**[04:13] Meep**
Also, the word changes every game.
**[04:16] Fay**
Well, that seems fun!
***SIGN*** The
Forbidden
Word
***SIGN*** Victory

***SIGN*** Get

**[04:28] Fay**
Are these its horns, too?
**[04:32] Pearl**
They're basically buildings.
**[04:36] Orvan**
The overall length of
Uroboros is 10,000 meters.
**[04:39] Orvan**
Out of all the gods, it's
definitely the longest.
**[04:42] Orvan**
According to our research, apparently
there's usually a hint on its head.
**[04:50] Meep**
This is a random trap.
**[04:52] Meep**
If you don't find out the forbidden word,
you won't be able to escape from here.
**[04:58] Leshea**
Sky, clouds, horns!
**[05:01] Leshea**
The forbidden word should
be related to this game.
**[05:05] Pearl**
Scales, Leviathan, electricity.
**[05:09] Meep**
Oh!
**[05:10] Meep**
I forgot to mention this.
**[05:12] Meep**
You've actually already said the word.
**[05:16] Orvan**
That's a huge hint!
**[05:21] Pearl**
There's a time limit?!
**[05:23] Leshea**
Uroboros is definitely purposely
interfering right now.
**[05:27] Leshea**
It's telling us that this should
be easy enough to clear.
**[05:30] Apostle C**
That's impossible to do so suddenly.
**[05:34] Apostle A**
Horns, building, escape!
**[05:36] Apostle B**
Game over, piranhas, retire!
**[05:41] Fay**
Ouch.
**[05:46] Pearl**
Huh? Why?
**[05:47] Orvan**
That's it!
**[05:50] Leshea**
Ow!
**[05:52] Fay**
Ow!
**[05:52] Pearl**
Ouch...
**[05:54] Orvan**
So it's "ouch"... That is the only
word we've said more than once.
**[06:02] Leshea**
Is it telling us to leave now
that we've found the answer?
**[06:16] Pearl**
Um, can this god speak the human language?
**[06:20] Fay**
It probably won't.
**[06:22] Fay**
With how everything's played out so far...
**[06:23] Fay**
I'm pretty sure the victory
condition to make it say
**[06:26] Fay**
"ouch" isn't as simple as it sounds.
**[06:28] Fay**
For now...
**[06:30] Fay**
let's try out different things.
**[06:32] Pearl**
What are we going to do?
**[06:34] Fay**
We're going to make it scream "ouch!"
**[06:37] Fay**
Ow!
**[06:38] Pearl**
You trying to stomp on this is like an ant
going berserk on the back of an elephant.
**[06:43] Fay**
Then why don't we try that?
**[06:45] Orvan**
Focus all your power onto a singular point!
**[06:47] Team**
Yes, sir!
**[07:01] Apostle C**
But I used all my strength!
**[07:03] Leshea**
Okay, okay. I'm next!
**[07:13] Fay**
Wait, Leshea. If you go all out...
**[07:15] Leshea**
Here I go!
**[07:35] Fay**
I had a bad feeling about that.
**[07:38] Pearl**
Leshea...
**[07:41] Leshea**
I'm sorry! That was definitely my fault!
**[07:45] Orvan**
Of course, we'll accept a personal
apology from the dragon god.
**[07:49] Orvan**
But there's no sign of
Uroboros speaking at all.
**[07:54] Fay**
This is a game of ingenuity.
**[07:56] Fay**
Unless we can figure out how to get
the god to say the forbidden word,
**[08:00] Fay**
we won't clear this.
**[08:01] Meep**
Oh, I forgot about the hidden rule.
**[08:04] Apostle A**
Hidden rule?! You didn't mention that!
**[08:07] Meep**
Sorry.
**[08:09] Fay**
Now, now. Hey, it's okay. You told us now.
**[08:13] Leshea**
So what's the hidden rule?
***SIGN*** Hidden Rule 1
***SIGN*** If you do
XXXXXXXXX,
XXXXXXX
**[08:16] Meep**
If you do a certain thing,
something will happen.
**[08:20] Meep**
That's hidden rule 1.
***SIGN*** Hidden Rule 2
***SIGN*** After
causing
hidden
rule 1
to happen,
you can
momentarily
XXX a
XXXXXXXX
**[08:23] Meep**
And when you cause hidden rule 1 to happen,
you can momentarily do something else.
**[08:30] Fay**
I see...
**[08:32] Pearl**
The god's subordinates, the
Leviathans, are chasing us.
**[08:37] Fay**
Well, we *are* their prey.
**[08:39] Pearl**
But I don't taste good at all!
**[08:42] Fay**
Calm down!
**[08:43] Fay**
They'll only come after you if you fall!
**[08:49] Fay**
U-Um, Pearl...?
**[08:52] Fay**
There's something way scarier
than the Leviathans behind you...
**[08:55] Leshea**
I see... I guess you're like that, too, Fay.
**[09:00] Leshea**
Even during the days of ancient magic,
the wisest sage in the kingdom said
**[09:06] Leshea**
that a young maiden's bosom has the charm
to overpower even the magic of the gods.
**[09:11] Fay**
You sure that guy was actually a sage?!
**[09:14] Leshea**
And then there's you, Pearl.
**[09:16] Leshea**
I thought you were going to prove
yourself to that lot back there.
**[09:20] Leshea**
If you just keep whining,
they're just going to think,
**[09:22] Leshea**
"Welp, I guess she hasn't changed after all."
**[09:27] Pearl**
W-Well...
**[09:31] Pearl**
You're right. I can't complain here!
**[09:36] Leshea**
Think you can work harder?
**[09:37] Pearl**
I will!
**[09:39] Leshea**
Can you run?
**[09:40] Pearl**
I can!
**[09:41] Leshea**
Okay, let's go explore!
**[09:44] Pearl**
Right!
**[09:48] Fay**
Good grief.
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[09:57] Pearl**
Is this the tail?
**[09:59] Leshea**
Over here!
**[10:01] Leshea**
Look at this thorny thing.
It's super suspicious.
**[10:04] Fay**
Yeah that scale's color is clearly distinct.
**[10:09] Pearl**
I got it!
**[10:10] Pearl**
I've discovered it!
**[10:13] Fay**
Huh?
**[10:14] Pearl**
This is a game to make Uroboros say "ouch."
**[10:17] Pearl**
Which means... the scale that's a
different color must be its weak point.
**[10:21] Pearl**
So this thorny thing must be a diversion!
**[10:25] Fay**
Er, Pearl... I have a really bad
feeling about this, so—
**[10:28] Pearl**
So basically, if you punch this scale,
**[10:31] Pearl**
it'll be unbearably painful for Uroboros,
who will let out a scream and surrender!
**[10:35] Fay**
*Welp, there it is.*
**[10:36] Fay**
* This must be what Chief*
* Secretary Miranda meant*
**[10:37] Fay**
* when she called Pearl the*
* Assumption-Autopilot Girl.*
**[10:42] Fay**
*Okay, guess it's worth a try.*
**[10:44] Fay**
Pearl, attack!
**[10:46] Pearl**
Leave it to me!
**[10:48] Pearl**
This is going to be the memorable moment
that I take down the undefeated god!
**[10:54] Fay**
Oh, yeah. Just a word of advice.
**[10:57] Fay**
Once you punch it, run.
**[11:00] Pearl**
Wait, what?
**[11:01] Orvan**
Pearl? What are you doing?
**[11:03] Pearl**
Captain Orvan, just watch me!
**[11:12] Fay**
Yup, I knew it.
**[11:14] Pearl**
Huh? What?
**[11:17] Fay**
Pearl...
**[11:18] Fay**
How would you feel if someone
suddenly smacked you on the head?
**[11:22] Pearl**
Well, I'd get mad, of course...
**[11:25] Leshea**
Watch your head!
**[11:34] Orvan**
It's the god's trap!
**[11:36] Orvan**
Careless actions will
spell danger for our team.
**[11:41] Pearl**
N-No. I just... wanted to be
useful to everyone this time...
**[11:49] Fay**
Calm down, Pearl.
**[11:51] Fay**
Even if you hadn't, I would've tried it.
**[11:54] Pearl**
Huh?
**[11:55] Fay**
It's important to test our theories.
**[11:57] Fay**
We have to test everything one at a time
to discover the rules and victory condition.
**[12:02] Fay**
Even if that attack had
taken me out of the game,
**[12:06] Fay**
I wouldn't hold you responsible.
**[12:10] Fay**
We have to keep going even if there are traps.
**[12:12] Fay**
With that in mind,
the most important thing here is...
**[12:15] Fay**
to not blame teammates even
if they make a mistake.
**[12:19] Fay**
Captain Orvan. You called that a trap,
**[12:24] Fay**
but I can't imagine that
a god this unconventional
**[12:26] Fay**
would be happy using a trap on a few humans.
**[12:31] Orvan**
Then what do you think it is?
**[12:32] Fay**
It's a legitimate step towards
conquering this thing.
**[12:35] Fay**
If you attack Uroboros'
tail, it'll retaliate.
**[12:38] Fay**
That's the first hidden rule.
**[12:40] Apostle B**
That's absurd!
**[12:42] Apostle B**
Just look at this!
**[12:43] Apostle B**
One wrong step, and we
would've all been finished!
**[12:47] Fay**
Only four members were thrown out.
**[12:49] Fay**
But if Uroboros really wanted to target us,
**[12:52] Fay**
it's way too strange that
there aren't more victims.
**[12:54] Leshea**
You're right. It's super strange
to have all those beams miss.
**[12:59] Leshea**
That's why it disguised it as a trap
and landed only a few direct hits.
**[13:04] Orvan**
Then what are you going to do next?
**[13:07] Fay**
Look for the second hidden rule,
of course.
**[13:10] Orvan**
Any ideas?
**[13:11] Fay**
Nope. Not at all.
**[13:13] Apostle A**
Oh, come on...
**[13:15] Fay**
This game doesn't have a time limit.
**[13:18] Fay**
We can take our time reaching the final goal.
**[13:26] Fay**
Hidden rule 2 involves doing something.
**[13:30] Fay**
This "momentarily" part is weird.
**[13:33] Fay**
What option have we not tried yet?
**[13:37] Apostle A**
Man, I quit!
**[13:38] Apostle A**
I don't understand any of this!
It's impossible to clear this!
**[13:42] Apostle C**
Even the Arcane Court accepts
unconditional surrender with Uroboros.
**[13:48] Apostle C**
Our opponent's too much.
**[13:50] Orvan**
But we have some members that
have already lost twice.
**[13:54] Apostle A**
Well that's because six months ago,
a certain someone held us back.
**[13:59] Apostle C**
If we weren't all wiped out last time,
**[14:01] Apostle C**
we'd still have a chance even
if we lost to Uroboros now.
**[14:07] Pearl**
I'm sorry. I...
**[14:09] Apostle B**
We got stuck with Uroboros
because of you anyway!
**[14:12] Apostle B**
Why do you keep insisting
on getting in our way?!
**[14:16] Leshea**
Silence.
**[14:18] Leshea**
Do you lot enjoy persecuting
this girl that much?
**[14:24] Leshea**
You're an eyesore. If you don't
want to be here, then leave.
**[14:28] Leshea**
I'll happily return you
to the human world.
**[14:33] Apostle B**
B-But it's not fair for a former
god to protect a human like that.
**[14:39] Apostle B**
It's true that we were all
wiped out because of her.
**[14:45] Leshea**
You fool.
**[14:47] Leshea**
Ugh, never mind, already.
**[14:49] Leshea**
You're so off the mark that it's not
even worth getting angry about anymore.
**[14:53] Leshea**
This isn't about your feud with Pearl.
**[14:56] Leshea**
The reason I got mad is we're
trying to play this game seriously
**[14:59] Leshea**
and your terrible attitude is ruining
everything because you're too emotional.
**[15:04] Leshea**
This game is exciting, so why
don't you just enjoy it more?
**[15:09] Apostle A**
Enjoy it? You can't be serious.
**[15:12] Apostle A**
There's no one else here other than
you that hasn't completely given up.
**[15:16] Leshea**
But there is though. There's a human
right here truly enjoying this game.
**[15:22] Fay**
Those beams were far too powerful.
**[15:25] Fay**
Shooting those beams towards us humans...
**[15:28] Fay**
If there's a reason other than overkill...
**[15:39] Fay**
I see.
**[15:42] Fay**
I'm going to make Uroboros mad one more time.
**[15:44] Orvan**
You can't be serious!
**[15:46] Fay**
There's going to be even
more victims this time.
**[15:49] Fay**
But in exchange, we'll definitely win.
**[15:51] Fay**
So even if you fall back into the real world,
**[15:53] Fay**
I want you to keep watching until the end.
**[15:55] Orvan**
What are you talking about?
**[15:58] Fay**
Leshea! Hit it as hard as you can again!
**[16:02] Leshea**
I'll make sure it hurts.
**[16:12] Apostles**
Wha—
**[16:32] Fay**
There!
**[16:33] Pearl**
Huh?!
**[16:37] Pearl**
Why are the god's subordinates doing that?
**[16:39] Fay**
No one ever confirmed that the Leviathans
were the god's subordinates.
**[16:44] Leshea**
I guess they were just neutral monsters.
**[16:47] Leshea**
It's not just us humans that are mad
about getting attacked by this god!
**[16:55] Pearl**
Wait—
**[17:00] Fay**
Finally, Uroboros is on the move!
**[17:04] Pearl**
Does that mean we've completely
figured out Uroboros' game?
***SIGN***

**[17:15] Meep**
That's amazing!
**[17:17] Meep**
This is the first time someone
made it to the final stage.
**[17:21] Leshea**
Now, we just need to get it to say "ouch."
**[17:23] Fay**
Let's go!
**[17:25] Leshea**
First, we need to find its real weak spot.
**[17:28] Leshea**
It's not in the tail, but its true
vital point must be somewhere.
**[17:32] Fay**
In that case... it must be below!
**[17:35] Fay**
*Uroboros didn't have any eyes.*
**[17:39] Fay**
*No... it's hiding them!*
**[17:44] Fay**
The place you can only get
to by using the Leviathans...
**[17:47] Fay**
Meaning... it's right here!
**[17:50] Pearl**
That's where its eyes are?!
**[17:52] Fay**
To get Uroboros to say "ouch," we need
to destroy these super flashy eyes.
**[17:58] Fay**
Crap! Stop!
**[18:03] Leshea**
In that case...
**[18:08] Fay**
Both of those eyes are defense systems.
**[18:11] Fay**
Enemies that approach the right
get shot with the left.
**[18:14] Fay**
Enemies that approach the left
get shot with the right.
**[18:17] Pearl**
Wh-What are we going to do?
**[18:19] Fay**
We need a way to avoid detection.
**[18:26] Pearl**
Hasn't this already been
more than "momentarily"?
**[18:31] Leshea**
Fay!
**[18:32] Fay**
It's up to you!
**[18:38] Fay**
Pearl, listen to me.
**[18:44] Pearl**
Are you serious?!
**[18:45] Fay**
It has to be done, and with perfect timing.
**[18:51] Pearl**
I'll do it!
**[18:54] Fay**
This is the end!
**[18:58] Fay**
Climb!
**[19:03] Fay**
Pearl, I'll leave this to you!
**[19:05] Pearl**
Right!
**[19:18] Fay**
It's following me!
**[19:20] Leshea**
Lookin' good.
**[19:22] Leshea**
I'm not going to hold back!
**[19:34] Leshea**
Er... Maybe that was a bit too slow.
**[19:42] Leshea**
Fay! I at least made sure
to hurt it a little.
**[19:48] Fay**
The gods only smile upon
those who create miracles!
**[19:59] Orvan**
It's no use. The light is definitely faster.
**[20:03] Fay**
Time to compare our answers, Uroboros!
**[20:07] Fay**
Transfer!
**[20:08] Pearl**
The Wandering!
**[20:20] Fay**
The one to defeat a god is a god themselves.
**[20:23] Fay**
This was the strategy to beat you, Uroboros.
**[20:38] Orvan**
Well, would you look at that?
**[20:41] Orvan**
We're all one when it
comes to the gods' games.
**[20:44] Orvan**
Meaning since we challenged
it at the same time,
**[20:46] Orvan**
it means we also won against Uroboros.
**[20:50] Apostle B**
Pearl actually...
**[20:52] Orvan**
Everyone, it appears we've been repaid.
**[21:09] Fay**
Are you Uroboros?
**[21:11] Uroboros**
Not bad, tiny humans.
**[21:13] Uroboros**
I guess I'll admit defeat this time.
**[21:17] Uroboros**
Oh, yeah. You can have this.
**[21:20] Uroboros**
It's one of my eyes.
**[21:22] Pearl**
Wait... is this a God's Diadem?
**[21:24] Meep**
Yup. This is the first time my master's
been defeated, so you get a special prize.
**[21:31] Fay**
Huh... What's this do?
**[21:34] Uroboros**
If you have that eye, you can
choose to face me anytime.
**[21:38] Uroboros**
Next time, I'll think up an even
harder game, so let's play again.
**[21:46] Uroboros**
Huh? You're not happy? I'm going to make
the next one a hundred times harder...
**[21:51] Fay**
Who the hell would play that?!
**[21:52] Leshea**
I would.
**[21:53] Pearl**
You need to think about
the difficulty! Seriously!

I had a dream about that day again...
**[00:44] Nel**
I still can't get rid of my regrets?
**[00:51] Nel**
I guess I left this on.
**[00:57] Nel**
Isn't he...

**[03:10] Leshea**
Why can't we dive?
**[03:12] Leshea**
We've officially welcomed Pearl
to our group and created a team!
**[03:18] Miranda**
Hm... Well, please take a look at this.

**[03:24] Leshea**
What is this?
**[03:25] Miranda**
These are the current dive requests for
the Divine Gates located at our branch...
**[03:30] Miranda**
They're all quite full of requests, and
the earliest you could get in is a month away.
**[03:35] Leshea**
Huh?! Why?!
**[03:37] Miranda**
This is very hard for me to bring up,
**[03:39] Miranda**
but I'd say that the reasons
lie within you and Fay.
**[03:44] Miranda**
Your feat of defeating Uroboros was
the first of its kind for humanity
**[03:48] Miranda**
and became the ultimate stimulant.
**[03:50] Miranda**
Because of this, apostles all around the
city of Ruin all requested to dive at once.
**[03:54] Leshea**
I see. Okay, fine.
**[03:59] Leshea**
We're going to a Dive Center.
**[04:01] Pearl**
Huh? Why?
**[04:03] Leshea**
We're going to steal a Divine Gate. By force.
**[04:06] Pearl**
Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[04:08] Pearl**
P-Please don't!
**[04:10] Pearl**
A-Ah, wait! Leshea!
**[04:12] Leshea**
You better hold on tight!
**[04:14] Pearl**
Please stop!
**[04:17] Pearl**
My behind's scraping against the
ground so much it's going to be flat!
**[04:20] Fay**
This might be a bit dangerous.
**[04:22] Fay**
Leshea might go berserk
from being denied games.
**[04:25] Miranda**
Hm...
**[04:27] Fay**
Do you have any good ideas...
**[04:29] Fay**
on how we might be able to participate
in the games immediately?
**[04:32] Miranda**
I do, actually.
**[04:33] Fay**
You do?!
**[04:34] Miranda**
Everyone, all eyes on the monitor again.

**[04:57] Pearl**
I have so much respect for
the apostles of the past.
**[05:01] Pearl**
After retiring, they'd use their
Arises to protect the city.
**[05:07] Pearl**
And they also started gradually
developing the outside world.
**[05:13] Pearl**
Oh, by the way,
**[05:14] Pearl**
the place we were invited to is the
Sacred Spring City of Mal-ra, right?
**[05:19] Fay**
Huh? Yeah.
**[05:22] (Flashback) Leshea**
What is this?
**[05:23] (Flashback) Miranda**
It's like when athletes are invited
to tournaments around the world.
**[05:27] (Flashback) Miranda**
Ever since you defeated Uroboros,
**[05:29] (Flashback) Miranda**
we've received a mountain
of requests asking that you
**[05:32] (Flashback) Miranda**
play games at various locations.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Leshea**
Why?
**[05:35] (Flashback) Miranda**
Apostles who have defeated gods
who are difficult to defeat
**[05:38] (Flashback) Miranda**
are seen as heroes throughout the world.

Now then...
**[06:01] (Flashback) Pearl**
Hwachaa!
***SIGN*** Sacred Spring City of Mal-ra
**[06:06] Pearl**
Are apostles from Mal-ra
also going to participate?
**[06:09] (Flashback) Fay**
Probably.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Fay**
I wonder what kind of apostles we'll meet.
***SIGN*** Sacred Spring City of Mal-ra
**[06:33] Pearl**
We have arrived!
**[06:34] Leshea**
We're here!
**[06:36] Leshea**
I wonder what game this place is known for.
**[06:38] Leshea**
First, we need to go to all the game shops!
**[06:41] Leshea**
Let's go, Fay!
**[06:43] Fay**
We need to go visit the Mal-ra branch first.
**[06:45] Pearl**
By the way...
**[06:47] Pearl**
I wonder who that is.
***SIGN*** Fay and party:
Welcome to

**[06:53] Pearl**
She seems very suspicious.
**[06:56] Leshea**
I don't understand...

She's really scaring me.
**[07:03] Nel**
Ah! Wait, could you possibly be...
**[07:08] Fay**
Run!
**[07:17] Pearl**
Huh?!
**[07:19] Fay**

**[07:23] Fay**
Hey...
**[07:24] Fay**
Are you an apostle?
**[07:26] Nel**
I shall introduce myself!
**[07:27] Nel**
My name is Nel Reckless!
**[07:29] Nel**
I'm an apostle that used to belong
to the Mal-ra branch office.
**[07:32] Fay**
You used to be an apostle?
**[07:34] Nel**
Master Fay!
**[07:35] Nel**
I want you to make me your woman!
**[07:40] Fay**
Huh?
**[07:42] Nel**
Oh...
**[07:44] Nel**
I just mean please make me your subordinate.
**[07:47] Fay**
Talk about confusing!
**[07:48] Nel**
Master Fay!
**[07:54] Nel**
I became certain after seeing the
stream of your game against Uroboros.
**[07:57] Nel**
You are the only master
that I am meant to serve!
**[08:00] Nel**
Please! Let me be your underling!
**[08:03] Fay**
Uh, underling? Also, "master"
is a bit overboard...
**[08:07] Nel**
It is not overboard!
**[08:09] Nel**
I will cook, do laundry, iron
your clothes... anything!
**[08:12] Nel**
I-If you would like...
**[08:14] Nel**
I-I could even wash your back in the bath...
**[08:17] Fay**
How do you keep making
this sound even shadier?!
**[08:19] Fay**
Seriously, what is your issue? Right, Leshea?
**[08:23] Leshea**
Fay... how could you when
you have someone like me?
**[08:26] Pearl**
Having some girl he doesn't know
wash his back in the bath...?
**[08:30] Pearl**
I don't think I can defend that.
**[08:32] Fay**
Could you help me out here?!
**[08:34] Nel**
Master Fay!
**[08:35] Nel**
I beg of you!
**[08:42] Nel**
Please! Make me your underling!
**[08:46] Nel**
Huh?
**[08:53] Nel**
P-Please wait, Master Fay!
**[08:55] Passerby**
Look out!
**[08:56] Nel**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Moment Reversal

Are you okay, Mr. Driver?!
**[09:31] Fay**
We managed to lose her somehow.
**[09:33] Pearl**
Wh-What was the deal with that girl?
**[09:36] Fay**
I have no idea... but it's best
to run in those situations.
**[09:45] Fay**
Oh, that must be the water spirit, Undine.
**[09:48] Apostle A**
Are they apostles from Ruin?
**[09:50] Apostle B**
Didn't they win against Uroboros?
**[09:52] Apostle C**
Seriously?

N-No, I mean... I'm fairly sure there
was an elevator right in front of us.

* in our city for spectators.*

The people of Mal-ra will
be cheering for you.
**[11:25] Pearl**
Oh, no...
**[11:28] Baleggar**
There'll be one other event.
**[11:30] Baleggar**
An inter-city competition to bring our

**[11:35] Baleggar**
I'd like for you to
participate in that as well.
**[11:37] Fay**
If we suffice.
**[11:38] Fay**
It's not every day that
we get to enjoy two games.
**[11:43] Baleggar**
We had many who wanted to participate.
**[11:46] Baleggar**
Lady Leoleshea—the former god—and Fay,
the ultimate rookie in recent years.
**[11:53] Baleggar**
Many wanted to compete with you.
**[11:55] Pearl**
Wait! You mean me, too?
**[11:57] Pearl**
Well, of course.
**[11:59] Pearl**
We did defeat that undefeated god.
**[12:02] Pearl**
I'm sure apostles around
the world are noticing us.
**[12:09] Pearl**
Wait, why are you ignoring me?!
**[12:11] Pearl**
H-Hello? Mr. Chief Secretary?!
**[12:12] Pearl**
What about my popularity?
**[12:22] Baleggar**
These are commemorative photos
from last year's World Games Tour.
**[12:27] Baleggar**
These are guest apostles from other cities.
**[12:32] Leshea**
What's this? I don't see this color often.
**[12:34] Fay**
Oh, the ones who wear black uniforms
are the top team from each branch.
**[12:38] Fay**
The gold embroidery...
**[12:40] Baleggar**
Headquarters.
**[12:42] Baleggar**
The only ones who have gold embroidery
**[12:44] Baleggar**
are those from the Arcane
Court's headquarters.
**[12:46] Dax**
I haven't seen those uniforms before.
**[12:52] Dax**
Blue lines... You must be the
guest apostles from Ruin.
**[12:59] Baleggar**
Dax. I should've expected as much.
**[13:01] Baleggar**
I guess you wanted to greet the
guests before the inter-city match.
**[13:05] Baleggar**
Allow me to introduce him. He's...
**[13:08] Dax**
I'm Dax. Dax Gear Scimitar.
**[13:12] Dax**
I've heard much about you lot.
**[13:16] Baleggar**
"You lot"? Dax, Lady Leoleshea
is a former god and...
**[13:20] Dax**
Well, I'm not giving her
any special treatment.
**[13:22] Dax**
The only thing I care about is if
they're any good at games. That's it.
**[13:28] Leshea**
Huh, not bad. I like humans like
you who only care about games.
**[13:34] Pearl**
Um, Mr. Chief Secretary.
**[13:37] Pearl**
He's wearing a black uniform, so...
**[13:40] Baleggar**
Precisely.
**[13:42] Baleggar**
Despite being a rookie one year ago, he
established his team faster than anyone else,
**[13:47] Baleggar**
and was triumphant against
a god in his first game.
**[13:51] Baleggar**
His current stats are
three wins and one loss.
**[13:54] Baleggar**
He currently represents our branch.
**[13:57] Pearl**
W-Wow...
**[13:59] Pearl**
He's just like Fay...
**[14:02] Dax**
Fay Theo Philus.
**[14:12] Dax**
I knew it. We were both
brought here by destiny!
**[14:18] Fay**
Sorry, what?
**[14:19] Dax**
The matches against Titan and Uroboros...
I shall praise you for both.
**[14:25] Fay**
Huh? Uh, thanks.
**[14:27] Dax**
Thus, I declare... that you should
join my team, Tempest Cruiser!
**[14:33] Fay**
Uh huh...
**[14:35] Dax**
I am currently gathering talented
rookies from around the world.
**[14:39] Dax**
We will then form the greatest team of
all time... and Clear the gods' games!
**[14:49] Dax**
Fay, you are truly the final
piece I've been looking for!
**[14:53] Dax**
Come join me!
**[14:56] Fay**
Sorry, but we're here for
the World Games Tour.
**[15:01] Fay**
Not for whatever you're talking about.
**[15:04] Dax**
I see.
**[15:05] Fay**
Huh? Wait, you're okay with that?
**[15:08] Dax**
I'm done here.
**[15:13] Fay**
This branch sure has some interesting people.
**[15:17] Fay**
He definitely didn't look like he'd given up.
**[15:24] Fay**
There's something I want to show you.
**[15:27] Fay**
We'll be teaming up with the apostles
from Mal-ra the day after tomorrow,
**[15:31] Fay**
so I've been watching their gameplay.
**[15:34] Fay**
And then coincidentally saw...
**[15:37] Pearl**
Hey! I remember her!
**[15:41] Fay**
Yeah. She's the one who asked
me to make her my underling.
**[15:45] Fay**
Nel Reckless, was it?
**[15:47] Fay**
* I looked into it, and*
* she'd retired a month ago.*
**[15:52] Fay**
* Her final stats were three*
* wins and three losses.*
**[15:55] Fay**
*Those aren't exactly amazing numbers...*
**[15:58] Fay**
*But she is talented. I'm not just being nice.*
**[16:01] Fay**
* She pulls off all of her*
* captain's orders without fail,*
**[16:04] Fay**
*and she's great at supporting her teammates.*
**[16:07] (Flashback) Captain**
It found us!
**[16:12] (Flashback) Teammate**
Oh, n—
**[16:15] (Flashback) Vice Captain**
Three to push the switches and
one decoy to distract the god...
**[16:19] (Flashback) Vice Captain**
We needed four of us.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Captain**
It's game over. We've been found, and the
god... is now in full surveillance mode.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Captain**
We forfeit.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Nel**
Please wait, Captain.
The game's not over yet!
**[16:39] (Flashback) Meep**
Due to a majority in votes, the
Topple the God game is now over.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Nel**
But there are still three of us left!
**[16:48] (Flashback) Nel**
Please!
**[16:49] (Flashback) Nel**
I don't want it to end like this!
**[16:57] Leshea**
Should they really have
given up there?
**[17:00] Fay**
The game was called "Topple the God"...
**[17:03] Fay**
That god's form is curious...
**[17:06] Pearl**
Fay.
**[17:08] Pearl**
I wonder if Nel was the opposite of me.
**[17:12] Pearl**
My mistake led to my team losing, and I
couldn't bear it, so I decided to retire.
**[17:19] Pearl**
But Nel seems to be the opposite...
**[17:22] Pearl**
It looked like she had to
retire against her will.
**[17:27] Fay**
Could be. She could've told
us what's going on sooner.
**[17:30] Fay**
Now I look like the bad
guy because I ran away.
**[17:39] Pearl**
Do you think it's Chief Secretary Baleggar?
**[17:42] Nel**
I've brought you room service.
**[17:44] Pearl**
Sure, come on in!
**[17:47] Pearl**
Y-You're...
**[17:49] Nel**
Hm? There's nothing suspicious about me.
**[17:52] Pearl**
You must be Nel.
**[17:55] Fay**
Nel? What are you doing?
**[17:58] Nel**
Wh-Who might you be talking about?
**[17:59] Nel**
Th-That's definitely not my name...
**[18:02] Fay**
Uh, we can tell by your voice.
**[18:04] Leshea**
And by your hair color.
**[18:08] Nel**
O-Oh, no!
**[18:11] Nel**
Farewell!
**[18:12] Fay**
H-Hey?!
**[18:15] Fay**
I just wanted to hear what she had to say...
**[18:27] Nel**
Why did I run away?
**[18:31] Dax**
That's not like you.
**[18:33] Dax**
Someone like you shouldn't
act so pathetically.
**[18:36] Nel**
Dax...
**[18:37] Dax**
Nel, two years ago, we were
assigned here as rookies.
**[18:42] Dax**
We were told that one of us
would reach the top here.
**[18:47] Dax**
But...
**[18:48] Dax**
I survived and you retired.
**[18:51] Dax**
What's the difference between
us? Talent? Hard work?
**[18:56] Nel**
Say whatever you want.
**[18:58] Dax**
The answer is "teams."
**[19:01] Dax**
You had bad luck... with your teammates.
**[19:06] Dax**
Use your skills to their full
potential as an analyst!
**[19:09] Dax**
Come to my team!
**[19:12] Nel**
That's not necessary.
**[19:13] Nel**
I wish to be on Master Fay's team.
**[19:16] Nel**
I don't plan on joining any other team.
**[19:18] Nel**
If you absolutely insist...
**[19:20] Nel**
Let's make a wager on
tomorrow's goodwill match!
**[19:27] Dax**
How interesting.
**[19:28] Nel**
I wager that Master Fay is going to win.
**[19:37] Pearl**
Th-They're cheering so loud...
**[19:39] Leshea**
I wonder what kind of game we're
going to play in such a huge stadium!
**[19:47] Fay**
Nel?
**[19:51] Nel**
I made it in time...
**[19:55] Nel**
Master Fay. I'm sure you've
already heard this,
**[19:58] Nel**
but you'll be up against Dax in this match.
**[20:00] Nel**
He truly has a natural
talent for these games.
**[20:03] Nel**
Despite your abilities, you'll probably
have some difficulty out there, Master Fay.
**[20:08] Nel**
But...
**[20:09] Nel**
But please win! If you don't...
**[20:16] Nel**
I guess it's already time.
**[20:18] Nel**
A-Anyway, I'm counting on you!
**[20:22] Nel**
I'll be cheering for you
from the stands, too.
**[20:29] Leshea**
Did that Nel human come
just to cheer us on?
**[20:33] Fay**
Possibly.
**[20:35] Fay**
It's nice to have someone cheering for us.
**[21:03] Dax**
This is a battle of pride between two cities.
**[21:06] Dax**
But I have no intention of carrying
this city's dignity upon my back.
**[21:10] Dax**
As an athlete of these games,
**[21:13] Dax**
I've come here to fight in this match
against you and put our souls on the line!
**[21:19] Dax**
What is it?
**[21:22] Fay**
Er, I want you to take this
as a compliment, but...
**[21:25] Fay**
You're really passionate. I thought
you'd be more of a cool guy.
**[21:29] Dax**
It depends on my opponent, so you better
show me some plays that set my soul ablaze.
**[21:35] Dax**
Let's get to the game selection.
**[21:37] Dax**
In order to keep things fair,
**[21:38] Dax**
one game out of thousands set in this
stadium will be picked at random.
**[21:46] Dax**
Operator, start up the
game that's been chosen.
**[21:53] Fay**
Augmented reality?
**[22:01] Fay**
This must be...
**[22:03] Fay**
sugoroku!

**[00:02] Pearl**
This is sugoroku where you can
move forward without dice, right?
**[00:06] Fay**
Card Battle Sugoroku, huh...
**[00:09] Dax**
This is my first time playing this
game, as well, so we're on even ground.
**[00:14] Admin**
*This game will be played with four players.*
**[00:18] Dax**
Very well! From my team,
Tempest Cruiser, I summon...
**[00:22] Kelritch**
I shall join you.
**[00:26] Kelritch**
I am Kelritch Shee, Dax's subordinate.
**[00:29] Dax**
Now, Fay! Choose your partner!
**[00:33] Dax**
I'm sure you're going to pick the
former dragon god, Leoleshea!
**[00:36] Leshea**
You've got this, right?
**[00:39] Pearl**
I'm not scared of games anymore!
**[00:42] Leshea**
I'll be cheering you on. Do your
best out there, Fay and Pearl.
**[00:47] Pearl**
R-Right!
***SIGN*** Mind Arena
**[01:01] Admin**
There are two victory
conditions for Mind Arena.
**[01:04] Admin**
*Either get to the goal—44 squares ahead—first,*
**[01:08] Admin**
*or use trap or magic cards*
**[01:10] Admin**
* to drop an opposing*
* player's life points from 20*
**[01:13] Admin**
*to zero by the end of the turn.*
***SIGN*** Traveler
***SIGN*** When using the dice card, you may proceed +1 square.
***SIGN*** (Possible to move a max of 7 squares)
***SIGN*** Trapper
***SIGN*** Trap squares are nullified and you can strengthen traps.
***SIGN*** Wizard
***SIGN*** When using attack magic, apply +1 damage.
***SIGN*** Healer
***SIGN*** When using healing magic, earn +1 life.
**[01:15] Admin**
*Select your class for victory.*
**[01:19] Fay**
The simplest options are Wizard
**[01:23] Fay**
and Healer.
**[01:24] Fay**
The others are more versatile.
**[01:29] Admin**
* Before you choose your class, you*
* will be given five random cards.*
**[01:34] Pearl**
Wow, they appeared right before our eyes!
**[01:37] Admin**
* The magic cards are split between three*
* categories: attack, healing, and special.*
**[01:42] Admin**
* For example, with the*
* attack spell Mega Flame,*
***SIGN*** Mega Flame: High-Speed Magic
***SIGN*** Apply 2 points of damage to 1 other player.
**[01:45] Admin**
*the target player will receive 2 damage.*
**[01:49] Admin**
* Please note that any card that has been*
* used will be stored in your team's storage.*
**[01:53] Admin**
*There are a total of 72 magic cards.*
**[01:56] Admin**
*You may reference these cards at any time.*
**[01:59] Fay**
I see. All the card data is
disclosed in this battle of wits.
**[02:06] Fay**
This is a secret card.
**[02:08] Fay**
It's incredibly powerful, but you
have to be a Healer to use it.
**[02:10] Pearl**
I seem to have a rare spell.
**[02:15] Fay**
"This spell will only activate
**[02:17] Fay**
when your life is under 5 points,
and you only have one card left."
**[02:20] Fay**
Those conditions are a bit rough.
**[02:23] Pearl**
It is an interesting effect though.
**[02:28] Fay**
Well, the first thing that we need
to decide on are our classes.
**[02:33] Fay**
The Traveler can proceed quite far and
the Healer can protect life points.
**[02:36] Fay**
Meaning these two classes...
**[02:38] Pearl**
...are for those who want to
reach the goal in a long battle.
**[02:41] Fay**
The exact opposite can be said
about Wizard and Trapper.
**[02:44] Fay**
They're both classes that
damage your opponents.
**[02:47] Fay**
But we have way more healing
cards in our hands,
**[02:52] Fay**
so it'd be difficult to get our
opponents' life points to zero.
**[02:55] Pearl**
So are we going with the classic way to win
at sugoroku by reaching the goal first?
**[03:04] Fay**
* They definitely aren't planning to*
* leisurely win by reaching the goal.*
**[03:12] Admin**
* It is now time to begin the game.*
* Please select your classes.*
**[03:20] Fay**
I accept your challenge.
**[03:22] Fay**
I choose... the Traveler!
**[03:33] Pearl**
I choose the Healer.
**[03:40] Dax**
I choose the Wizard!
**[03:42] Kelritch**
I also choose the Wizard.
**[03:47] Fay**
They both chose the Wizard?
**[03:49] Fay**
So they're going to concentrate
on whittling down our life points.
**[03:52] Admin**
*We will now distribute the dice cards.*
**[03:58] Fay**
So we use these instead of actual dice...
**[04:00] Admin**
* All players can choose any dice card*
* from 1 through 6 of their choice.*
**[04:06] Admin**
*Gold squares allow you to draw 2 magic cards.*
***SIGN*** Gold Square
***SIGN*** Draw 2 magic cards
***SIGN*** °If multiple players end up on the same square
during the same phase, you cannot draw cards
**[04:09] Admin**
*Silver squares allow you to draw 1 magic card.*
***SIGN*** Silver Square
***SIGN*** Draw 1 magic card
***SIGN*** °If multiple players end up on the same square
during the same phase, you cannot draw a card
**[04:13] Admin**
*The red square is a trap zone where the player*
***SIGN*** Red Square
***SIGN*** Trap zone, 7 damage points
***SIGN*** °Damage cannot be reduced
**[04:16] Admin**
* will receive 7 points of damage*
* that cannot be reduced.*
**[04:20] Fay**
If we want to get to the goal as quick
as possible, we need to choose 6.
**[04:24] Fay**
But if we end up on the same
square, we can't draw a card.
**[04:27] Nel**
So their options are to head towards
the goal or utilize their cards.
**[04:31] Nel**
They'll have to start compromising
as soon as the game starts.
**[04:35] Leshea**
Precisely.
**[04:37] Admin**
* Begin Phase 1. All players,*
* please turn over your dice card.*
**[04:43] Fay**
Pearl, we're going to win by striking first.
**[04:46] Pearl**
R-Right!
**[04:52] Admin**
*The game has begun!*
**[04:56] Admin**
* We will go in order from the*
* biggest to smallest number.*
**[04:59] Admin**
* But, if more than one person*
* chooses the same number,*
**[05:01] Admin**
* the one who chose quickest*
* will get to go first.*
**[05:04] Admin**
*Therefore, the order will be Fay, then Dax.*
**[05:11] Fay**
It's my turn!
**[05:17] Nel**
Usually, he'd be able to draw one magic card,
**[05:21] Nel**
but Dax is on the same square, so he can't.
**[05:25] Dax**
Fay, let me ask you one thing.
**[05:27] Dax**
Are you really okay with that square?
**[05:30] Fay**
What are you talking about?
**[05:32] Dax**
Don't play dumb.
**[05:33] Dax**
The Traveler has the option
of moving one extra square,
**[05:36] Dax**
so you can move to the 7th square.
**[05:37] Fay**
I'm not going to use the
Traveler's ability right now.
**[05:40] Dax**
So you're going to stay on the 6th square
to hinder me from drawing a card.
**[05:45] Fay**
Operator, are we allowed to
trade cards with our partners?
**[05:48] Admin**
* That is not allowed, but there is a magic*
* card that is similar to switching hands.*
**[05:54] Fay**
Got it, thanks.
**[05:59] Fay**
I'm ending my turn.
**[06:00] Dax**
Now, it's my turn!
**[06:06] Dax**
In that case, I'm going to
use the Wizard's secret card!
**[06:10] Nel**
He managed to get one of the best
of the few secret cards?!
**[06:13] Dax**
I will cast the barrier
spell, Burning Rhythm!
***SIGN*** Burning Rhythm: Wizard Exclusive Secret
***SIGN*** °Affects all players
***SIGN*** °This effect will stay in effect until game ends
***SIGN*** °Players receive +1 damage
***SIGN*** °°Burning Rhythm's damage cannot trigger additional damage
**[06:21] Dax**
This card affects all players.
**[06:24] Dax**
Meaning, if I get attacked, I
will also get additional damage,
**[06:28] Dax**
making this effect a double-edged sword.
**[06:31] Pearl**
Why would he use such a card?
**[06:33] Dax**
That ends my turn.
**[06:36] Pearl**
That means it's my turn next!
**[06:43] Pearl**
I'll hold onto my cards. I end my turn.
**[06:47] Kelritch**
Then, finally, it's my turn.
**[06:51] Kelritch**
I will draw two cards.
**[06:54] Kelritch**
I will cast Twin Bolt.
**[06:56] Kelritch**
Fay and Pearl, you both
receive 1 point of damage!
**[07:13] Fay**
* Dax's secret card, Burning*
* Rhythm, is no joke!*
**[07:18] Fay**
*We received 1 point of damage from Twin Bolt.*
**[07:20] Fay**
* Wizards get to add 1*
* point of damage, as well.*
**[07:22] Fay**
* Burning Rhythm adds an additional*
* point of damage to each attack,*
**[07:27] Fay**
*meaning a grand total of 4 points.*
**[07:29] Pearl**
The effect from Burning Rhythm is
going to continue the whole game...
**[07:32] Pearl**
Does that mean we're just going
to keep losing life points?
**[07:37] Fay**
If we keep getting attacked at
this rate, we'll be eliminated.
**[07:41] Fay**
If I have 38 squares until the goal and you
have 40, even if we choose 6 each time,
**[07:47] Fay**
we'll need 7 turns to reach the goal.
**[07:49] Dax**
Fay, your goal is to reach
the goal as soon as possible.
**[07:53] Dax**
But my team's goal is to use all of
our power to eliminate you first!
**[07:58] Kelritch**
I will continue my turn.
**[08:00] Kelritch**
I cast the barrier, Chains of Malice.
***SIGN*** Chains of Malice: Self-Applied Magic
***SIGN*** °This will stay in effect until game end
***SIGN*** °Every time a player uses a card in hand, +1 damage
**[08:16] Pearl**
A-And a barrier spell on top of that?
**[08:18] Kelritch**
That ends my turn.
**[08:21] Fay**
* We only have one goal, so*
* don't let them catch on to us.*
**[08:26] Fay**
Keep using your cards without hesitating.
**[08:28] Fay**
* If we keep preserving our cards against the*
* Wizards, our life points will fizzle out.*
**[08:32] Pearl**
R-Roger!
**[08:34] Admin**
* Begin Phase 2. All players,*
* please turn over your dice card.*
**[08:41] Fay**
Pearl! Don't hesitate! Crush them!
**[08:43] Pearl**
Right!
**[08:45] Admin**
*Reveal the dice cards.*
**[08:49] Kelritch**
Are you trying to stop me
from replenishing my hand?
**[08:51] Pearl**
O-Of course! I can see that you're
shooting for the gold squares!
**[08:56] Pearl**
And now, my high-speed spell, Pearl Fire!
**[09:00] Fay**
Pearl Fire?
**[09:01] Pearl**
High-speed spells are convenient spells
you can use during other players' turns!
**[09:06] Fay**
Er, I knew that. I'm asking
about the spell name...
***SIGN*** Mega Flame: High-Speed Magic
***SIGN*** Opponent receives 2 points of damage
**[09:13] Fay**
That's the wrong spell name!
**[09:14] Pearl**
Well, I can't be satisfied with
a lame name like Mega Flame!
**[09:19] Pearl**
Therefore, Pearl Fire it is!
**[09:25] Pearl**
Attack Dax!
**[09:30] Pearl**
How do you like that?! Usually, Mega Flame
would only give the opponent 2 damage,
**[09:33] Pearl**
but the awesome new name gives it 3!
**[09:35] Fay**
That's the additional
damage from Burning Rhythm.
**[09:41] Pearl**
These two barrier spells
are way too much trouble.
**[09:45] Dax**
That's why it's called a secret card.
**[09:47] Dax**
Pearl, was it?
**[09:48] Dax**
I shall return the pain you just dealt me!
**[09:54] Dax**
I cast Dax Thunder!
**[09:57] Kelritch**
Its official name is Blizzard.
**[10:00] Kelritch**
I assume that you're trying to compete
with "Pearl Fire" that was just cast.
**[10:03] Dax**
You surprised me by boldly applying
your own name to the card!
**[10:08] Dax**
I shall praise you for
having such a unique idea!
**[10:11] Pearl**
I know, right?!
**[10:13] Fay**
You're going along with this?
**[10:15] Dax**
And so, I cast Dax Thunder!
**[10:24] Fay**
Where did "Thunder" even come from?
**[10:27] Pearl**
We're just in the second phase,
but I'm getting cornered...
**[10:31] Kelritch**
"Cornered"?
**[10:32] Dax**
Don't be naïve! We're ending this now!
**[10:40] Kelritch**
I cast the self-applied
spell, Crash of the Heavens.
**[10:45] Kelritch**
Including the card cost from Chains of Malice
**[10:47] Kelritch**
and additional damage from Burning
Rhythm, I take 4 points of damage
**[10:49] Kelritch**
but deal 4 points of damage in return.
**[10:51] Kelritch**
Adding on that I'm a Wizard
and Burning Rhythm again,
**[10:53] Kelritch**
that's a total of 7 points.
**[10:54] Kelritch**
Pearl, you only have 1 life point left.
**[10:57] Pearl**
I have the high-speed healing
spell, Hope in Abundance!
**[11:01] Pearl**
By putting one of the cards
from my hand into storage,
**[11:04] Pearl**
I'm able to reduce 8 points of damage!
**[11:07] Pearl**
And because I'm a Healer, I'm
able to heal up to 9 points—
**[11:10] Kelritch**
You fell for it.
**[11:12] Dax**
High-speed spell, The Price of Greed!
**[11:17] Dax**
It nullifies my opponent's healing magic!
**[11:20] Kelritch**
That means my 7 points of damage to you
remains, and you have 1 life point.
**[11:25] Kelritch**
And because you used Hope in Abundance,
**[11:27] Kelritch**
Chains of Malice is activated,
meaning you lose 2 life points.
**[11:31] Fay**
I can't have you forget about me!
**[11:33] Fay**
High-speed spell, Bandaged Heart!
**[11:36] Fay**
This allows me to reduce my
partner's damage by 2 points!
**[11:39] Kelritch**
You're still here?
**[11:41] Dax**
Fay, helping your partner here
may just backfire on you.
**[11:45] Fay**
I'm not so sure about
that. Now, it's my turn!
**[11:49] Fay**
By using the damage I received from
the Chains of Malice as a trigger,
**[11:53] Fay**
I cast the attack spell,
Swords of the Heavenly Host!
**[11:56] Fay**
Dax, you'll be taking a
total of 5 points of damage!
**[11:59] Kelritch**
What?
**[12:00] Fay**
I'll be using one other self-applied
spell this turn, Soul's Sacrifice!
**[12:05] Fay**
By putting one of the cards from my
hand that I don't need into storage,
**[12:08] Fay**
I'll be healing myself
and Pearl's life points by 3!
**[12:11] Fay**
That ends my turn!
**[12:13] Pearl**
Now, it's my turn!
**[12:17] Pearl**
I'm going to cast 2 cards of
the self-applied spell, Oasis,
**[12:20] Pearl**
and heal 10 points of my life.
**[12:23] Pearl**
That ends my turn!
**[12:25] Leshea**
It looks like Dax's life
points are dwindling, but...
**[12:28] Nel**
They're still preserving 6 cards.
**[12:31] Admin**
* Begin Phase 3. All players,*
* please turn over your dice card.*
**[12:39] Dax**
Fay, I'm going to settle this once
and for all during this phase!
**[12:42] Fay**
Pearl, we're going to continue down
our route to victory as we decided!
**[12:46] Fay**
From start to finish!
**[12:48] Pearl**
Of course!
**[12:50] Admin**
*Reveal the dice cards.*
**[12:54] Crowd 1**
Dax chose 4?!
**[12:55] Crowd 2**
But wait. That square is...
**[12:58] Pearl**
4 squares from where Dax is
right now is... a trap square!
**[13:02] Pearl**
He's planning to purposely step on a
trap square and take 7 points of damage?
**[13:07] Pearl**
First, it's my turn.
**[13:11] Pearl**
I'm going to draw 2 cards, and after
discarding one of them, I will use this card.
**[13:17] Pearl**
Super spell, Pearl Barrier!
**[13:20] Pearl**
It will nullify one of the
spells that will affect me.
**[13:24] Pearl**
This ends my turn.
**[13:25] Fay**
Next, it's my turn.
**[13:29] Fay**
I'm going to use the Traveler's ability and
go forward one extra square to make it 7.
**[13:33] Fay**
That ends my turn.
**[13:34] Kelritch**
You're preserving your hand because
you're wary of us.
**[13:38] Kelritch**
Pearl, your spell is optimal for
when you're trying to be cautious,
**[13:42] Kelritch**
but it's not enough.
**[13:46] Kelritch**
No matter how guarded you are, the winners
and losers have already been decided.
**[13:51] Kelritch**
I shall cast Mega Flame.
**[13:53] Pearl**
You're using my Pearl Fire?!
**[13:55] Kelritch**
It's Mega Flame.
**[13:57] Kelritch**
Of course, I'll be using it on you.
**[14:02] Pearl**
I figured you'd do that. That's
why I used my Pearl Barrier!
**[14:10] Kelritch**
And I calculated that as well.
**[14:12] Kelritch**
I will now cast Absolute Resource Equality.
**[14:18] Kelritch**
Every player must now
**[14:20] Kelritch**
keep drawing cards until
they have 4 in their hand
**[14:22] Kelritch**
or throw away cards until they have 4 left.
**[14:26] Pearl**
What do you mean?
**[14:28] Kelritch**
You all can draw cards until you get 4.
**[14:34] Kelritch**
Lastly, I will set this timed spell.
**[14:38] Kelritch**
This ends my turn.
**[14:42] Dax**
Now, it's my turn.
**[14:47] Dax**
There are nothing but cons on this square.
That's what you're thinking, isn't it?
**[14:50] Dax**
But with my high-speed spell, Double Trap,
**[14:54] Dax**
I will change who will be receiving
the damage from this trap!
**[14:56] Fay**
I figured that was coming.
**[14:58] Fay**
The only reason you'd
willingly step onto a trap
**[15:00] Fay**
is to throw that damage onto someone else.
**[15:02] Dax**
This damage cannot be reduced.
**[15:05] Dax**
Pearl has 8 life points, and the
transferred damage from this trap is 7.
**[15:09] Dax**
With the effect from Burning Rhythm,
it becomes 8, and she's finished!
**[15:16] Fay**
No, not yet!
**[15:18] Fay**
High-speed spell, A Twin's Agony!
**[15:23] Dax**
So you had a card to deal with that.
**[15:26] Dax**
But I was just waiting for
you to cast your card!
**[15:29] Fay**
What?
**[15:30] Dax**
Self-applied spell, Gag Order!
**[15:34] Dax**
This will forbid you from using any
other card until this phase is over.
**[15:38] Dax**
This ends my turn!
**[15:40] Pearl**
Fay!
**[15:41] Fay**
Calm down, Pearl.
**[15:42] Fay**
He's not preventing you
from using your cards.
**[15:45] Fay**
Not to mention the third phase is almost over.
**[15:47] Kelritch**
It is not. Once everyone's turn ends,
my timed spell will go into effect.
***SIGN*** Destiny: Self-Applied Magic
***SIGN*** Receive damage
equal to number
of cards drawn
during phase. If
4+ cards, receive
10 damage.
**[16:02] Nel**
Have Master Fay and Pearl been saved?
**[16:04] Leshea**
No.
**[16:07] Kelritch**
It appears as though you've figured it out.
**[16:09] Kelritch**
The real reason I had you draw 4 cards.
**[16:13] Kelritch**
It was all for this.
**[16:15] Kelritch**
Your remaining life points are 5.
**[16:17] Kelritch**
You will be receiving a huge
hit in damage: 10 points.
**[16:20] Kelritch**
Can your healing magic counter that much?
**[16:27] Kelritch**
Then that means we have won.
**[16:40] Pearl**
I'm... not dead weight
to Fay and Lady Leshea!
**[16:44] Pearl**
This turn's not over yet!
I won't allow it!
**[16:48] Pearl**
I cast Last Dance!
***SIGN*** Last Dance: High-Speed Magic
***SIGN*** °Can only be activated once the caster's life is about to reach 0.
***SIGN*** °Gain additional phase and 1 extra turn.
***SIGN*** °All player life points return to before
incapacitating spell was used. Casting
player receives 20 damage at end of turn.
**[16:50] Pearl**
This card can only be activated once the
caster's life is about to reach 0.
**[16:54] Kelritch**
Wha—
**[16:55] Dax**
That's...
**[16:56] Pearl**
Powerful cards come with their risks.
**[16:58] Pearl**
Once this extra turn ends,
**[17:00] Pearl**
I will receive 20 points of damage
and my loss will be certain.
**[17:05] Pearl**
I'm not scared of losing.
**[17:07] Pearl**
Because if I continue to run away from
the game, nothing will ever change!
**[17:11] Kelritch**
Such futile resistance...
**[17:15] Fay**
I've passed my baton off to you.
**[17:18] Fay**
Now all I can do is believe
in the partner that I chose.
**[17:23] Pearl**
This is my final turn!
**[17:28] Pearl**
First, I will cast Lifepulse.
**[17:31] Pearl**
When my life drops below 3,
it will allow me to heal 10 points.
**[17:35] Pearl**
My life points are 11, and I have 4 cards.
**[17:38] Pearl**
Of course, the one I'm going to target is...
**[17:41] Pearl**
you with 4 remaining life points!
**[17:49] Pearl**
First, I'll cast Counterbolt!
**[17:54] Pearl**
That's 5 points of damage, but with
Burning Rhythm,
**[17:56] Pearl**
that's 6 points!
**[17:57] Dax**
In that case...
**[17:59] Dax**
I cast the high-speed spell,
First Aid to reduce my damage!
**[18:03] Pearl**
Next is Pearl Fire!
**[18:05] Pearl**
If this goes through, we win!
**[18:10] Kelritch**
Have you forgotten about me?
**[18:12] Kelritch**
I will use the high-speed spell
Saint's Charity to heal life points.
**[18:16] Kelritch**
I will use 2 cards to heal us both.
**[18:18] Kelritch**
Dax has 3 life points and I have 14.
**[18:21] Pearl**
I already knew you would have healing magic.
**[18:24] Pearl**
Ancient Word!
**[18:26] Pearl**
I've used 3 cards during this phase.
***SIGN*** Ancient Word: Self-Applied Magic
***SIGN*** Player deals to 1 opponent damage equal to 2 times number of cards player used this phase
**[18:28] Pearl**
You will receive double that in damage.
**[18:31] Pearl**
Along with Burning Rhythm, that's 7 points!
**[18:33] Pearl**
This secures our victory!
**[18:38] Dax**
That was a brilliant play.
**[18:40] Pearl**
What's with that attitude?!
**[18:42] Dax**
I never imagined you'd
get this far on your own.
**[18:46] Dax**
You are not dead weight to Fay.
**[18:49] Dax**
But you are still one play behind.
**[18:51] Dax**
High-speed spell, Karmic Cycle!
**[18:54] Dax**
I will transfer all of the damage
I'm going to receive to Kelritch!
**[18:58] Pearl**
Wha?!
**[19:05] Dax**
I have survived,
**[19:06] Dax**
and you are going to take 20 points
of damage from Last Dance and...
**[19:10] Dax**
lose!
**[19:15] Pearl**
I'm sorry. I did my best to win on my
own without having to rely on you,
**[19:20] Pearl**
but I still wasn't good enough.
**[19:22] Fay**
What are you talking about?
**[19:23] Fay**
We're the ones who won.
**[19:25] Fay**
You were the best partner
I could ask for, Pearl.
**[19:30] Kelritch**
Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[19:32] Pearl**
My final card.
**[19:35] Pearl**
I've finally met all the
conditions to activate it.
**[19:39] Pearl**
This final card...
**[19:41] Pearl**
This is... a card that can
call back another card!
**[19:44] Pearl**
I cast the high-speed spell, Encore!
**[19:47] Pearl**
With the effects from this card, I will add
one of the cards we put into our storage
**[19:51] Pearl**
into my hand!
**[19:53] (Flashback) Pearl**
I seem to have a rare spell.
**[19:57] (Flashback) Fay**
"This spell will only activate
when your life is under 5 points,
**[19:59] (Flashback) Fay**
and you only have one card left."
**[20:02] (Flashback) Fay**
Those conditions are a bit rough.
**[20:06] Fay**
Time to check our answers.
**[20:09] Pearl**
The card I'm going to choose
from our storage is...
**[20:12] Pearl**
The Healer's secret card...
**[20:14] Pearl**
Heartache!
**[20:17] Dax**
Impossible! How do you
have that secret card?!
**[20:22] Kelritch**
There's no way that a card that hasn't
been used yet was put into storage!
**[20:26] Leshea**
Did you all forget?
**[20:28] Leshea**
One of Fay's cards that he never used was
put into storage during the second phase.
**[20:34] Nel**
Oh! The one from when Master
Fay used Soul's Sacrifice!
**[20:38] (Flashback) Fay**
By putting one of the cards from my
hand that I don't need into storage...
**[20:41] Nel**
* Since Master Fay chose to be the Traveler*
* class, his hand was basically doomed.*
**[20:46] Leshea**
That's why he had to get Pearl,
who chose to be a Healer,
**[20:49] Leshea**
a trump card.
**[20:51] Kelritch**
Wait, was your question from Phase
1 because you anticipated this?
**[20:55] Fay**
Yup. This was definitely according to plan.
**[20:58] (Flashback) Fay**
Operator, are we allowed to
trade cards with our partners?
**[21:02] Kelritch**
It was all a bluff...
**[21:04] Kelritch**
Because of that question, you convinced us
you wouldn't be able to trade cards.
**[21:09] Fay**
If that took your guard down, great.
**[21:12] Fay**
And I used Swords of the Heavenly Host
right before because I wanted to
**[21:16] Fay**
draw your attention to that before
putting the card into storage.
**[21:20] Kelritch**
Unbelievable...
**[21:22] Fay**
I told you when we chose
our classes, didn't I?
**[21:25] Fay**
I accept your challenge.
**[21:30] Fay**
We were aiming to win by
dealing damage from the start.
**[21:34] Kelritch**
Then you should've chosen to be Wizards...
**[21:36] Fay**
Our hands were filled with healing magic.
**[21:39] Fay**
We would've lost a
straightforward damage-based game,
**[21:42] Fay**
so we had no choice but to
outsmart you in a mind game.
**[21:45] Pearl**
That's why this will finally end this game!
**[21:47] Pearl**
I cast Heartache!
**[21:49] Pearl**
This ends my turn!
**[21:51] Pearl**
I will deflect the 20 points
of damage from Last Dance!
**[22:03] Dax**
I take back what I said.
**[22:06] Dax**
Perhaps I still underestimated you.
**[22:09] Dax**
Well done, Pearl Diamond.
**[22:21] Admin**
* Dax's life is at zero. Therefore,*
* Fay and Pearl's team have won.*
**[22:38] Dax**
It appears as though we are fated to be
rivals until the end of time after all!
**[22:42] Fay**
Sorry, what?
**[22:44] Dax**
Today's battle was the beginning of our fate!
**[22:47] Dax**
The curtain has risen on the
legend of the thousands—
**[22:49] Dax**
no—*millions* of games we will play!
**[22:53] Fay**
Uh-huh...
**[22:55] Dax**
And so, behold, audience members!
**[22:57] Dax**
I swear to you that I will overcome this
battle and become even more powerful!
**[23:01] Dax**
My legend begins now!
**[23:12] Fay**
You worked really hard.
**[23:14] Pearl**
Oh, no. I didn't do anything...
**[23:18] Pearl**
Um...
**[23:21] Pearl**
Doesn't it seem like the losers are
enjoying this much more than we are?
**[23:28] Fay**
Let them.
**[23:30] Fay**
We got to play a fun game, after all.

**[01:36] Leshea**
Magnificent. I can't believe
you have this rare game.
**[01:40] Old Shopkeeper**
Well, well, little lady. You have a good eye.
**[01:44] Old Shopkeeper**
But that's a legendary boardgame. It's
gonna be too expensive with your allowance.
**[01:51] Leshea**
Well, I definitely have an allowance.
**[01:55] Leshea**
I'll be using this card.
**[01:58] Old Shopkeeper**
Wha?!
**[02:00] Old Shopkeeper**
Th-This is a platinum credit
card with no limits!
**[02:05] Leshea**
Could you have all the items
in your shop shipped to Ruin?
**[02:09] Old Shopkeeper**
Wh-Why, yes! Of course! Right away!
**[02:12] Leshea**
'Kay, thanks.
**[02:15] Fay**
Hey, Leshea.
**[02:17] Leshea**
Hm?
**[02:18] Fay**
Didn't Chief Secretary Miranda tell
you not to overuse that thing?
**[02:22] Leshea**
Yup! I'm just going to buy up two
or three more shops, and *then* I'll stop.
**[02:31] Fay**
I guess you bought quite
a bit yourself, Pearl.
**[02:34] Pearl**
Yes...!
**[02:36] Pearl**
This is my reward for getting
through such a fiery battle.
**[02:46] Pearl**
Anyway, let's go!
**[02:48] Fay**
Go where?
**[02:49] Pearl**
To a famous takoyaki shop that's nearby.
**[02:52] Fay**
You're not done eating?!
**[02:53] Pearl**
Of course not. There's a
famous shop right over there!
**[02:55] Apostle A**
U-Um, Lady Dragon God...
**[02:56] Fay**
That doesn't mean you *have* to eat there.
**[02:58] Apostle A**
Could we get a picture with you?!
**[03:00] Leshea**
Huh? With me?
**[03:03] Apostle B**
C-Could we also get your autograph?
**[03:07] Fay**
Did anything like this ever
happen to Leshea before?
**[03:10] Pearl**
Well, she's quite feared in Ruin, so...
**[03:13] Fay**
Oh, right...
**[03:15] Pearl**
She's super cute when you don't
know how dangerous she can be.
**[03:15] Apostle B**
Say cheese!
**[03:20] Fay**
She seems uneasy about the whole thing.
**[03:22] Girl A**
U-Um!
**[03:25] Girl A**
We watched yesterday's game!
**[03:27] Girl B**
Your play was just amazing, Fay!
Could we get your autograph?
**[03:31] Girl C**
Please shake my hand!
**[03:33] Fay**
W-Wait, hang on!
**[03:38] Fay**
Wait, you can't be serious! I've
never even experienced this in Ruin!
**[03:41] Pearl**
Th-This must be the effect of being
a guest at the World Games Tour!
**[03:45] Pearl**
Which means... Well, I was
the star of yesterday's game.
**[03:50] Pearl**
That means the line of people
asking for my autograph
**[03:53] Pearl**
will be as long as the line
for a theme park ride!
**[03:55] Pearl**
Now, come to me, my fans!
**[04:03] Pearl**
Well... I guess I'm just gonna
go buy a crepe or something...
**[04:12] Girl D**
Thank you very much!
**[04:16] Fay**
Whew, I guess I'm finally done.
**[04:19] Leshea**
I was so nervous.
**[04:21] Fay**
You definitely seemed out
of your comfort zone.
**[04:24] Fay**
I haven't even written an
autograph in like six months.
**[04:28] Leshea**
I think I might want your autograph, too!
**[04:30] Fay**
Wait, what? What would you even do with it?
**[04:33] Leshea**
I'll keep it as a treasure! Isn't
that what humans normally do?
**[04:38] Fay**
Uh...
**[04:38] Leshea**
Please! As a token of our friendship!
**[04:42] Fay**
Okay, fine. Do you have an autograph board?
**[04:45] Leshea**
No.
**[04:46] Fay**
Then we can stop by a stationery
shop on the way back...
**[04:57] Leshea**
I want one right now.
**[04:59] Fay**
Uh, that's great and all, but...
**[05:01] Leshea**
It doesn't have to be on an autograph board.
**[05:03] Leshea**
I'd much prefer to keep it
with me at all times anyway.
**[05:06] Leshea**
Could you sign the back of my ribbon?
**[05:09] Fay**
That's really small. I'm not
sure I can properly write one.
**[05:12] Leshea**
Well, this'll make it feel like
it's truly mine and mine alone!
**[05:23] Fay**
Okay, here you go.
**[05:27] Leshea**
Yay! I'll treasure it forever.
**[05:35] Pearl**
What are you two doing?
**[05:38] Pearl**
You two seemed rather close.
**[05:42] Fay**
Er, Leshea was just asking for my autograph.
**[05:45] Pearl**
Uh-huh...
**[05:46] Fay**
No, really!
**[05:48] Pearl**
Uh-huh...
**[05:49] Fay**
What's your problem?!
**[05:59] Fay**
What's with that crowd?
**[06:01] Woman A**
Dax!
**[06:02] Woman B**
Look this way, Dax!
**[06:04] Fay**
Dax?!
**[06:06] Pearl**
Are they shooting an episode of *Dax's Lunch*?!
**[06:09] Fay**
What now?
**[06:11] Pearl**
It's a stream of just him eating lunch.
**[06:14] Fay**
It's aptly named, I guess?!
**[06:15] Pearl**
* He's got tens of thousands of fans*
* who watch in real time...*
**[06:18] Pearl**
I've heard that he earns twice as much as
an apostle just from the streaming profits.
**[06:23] Fay**
This is way too ridiculous!
**[06:25] Kelritch**
Well, he *is* quite popular.
**[06:29] Fay**
Uh... Kelritch?
**[06:32] Kelritch**
Well done yesterday.
**[06:35] Kelritch**
He has a clear mind, excels
at sports, he's tall,
**[06:38] Kelritch**
has a charming smile, and he's a top
game player who cares for his teammates.
**[06:43] Kelritch**
Of course he'd be popular.
**[06:45] Fay**
Enough compliments there?
**[06:47] Kelritch**
I'm only stating the truth.
**[06:48] Pearl**
Do you also appear in *Dax's Lunch*, Kelritch?
**[06:52] Kelritch**
No. Dax and I have nothing more
than a business relationship.
**[06:56] Kelritch**
I have no interest in his private
life outside of what we do as a team.
**[06:59] Kelritch**
I have no other feelings towards him.
**[07:01] Pearl**
R-Right...
**[07:03] Kelritch**
I now bid you farewell.
**[07:07] Pearl**
She's definitely walking towards
the area they're filming.
**[07:12] Fay**
The apostles in this city
are definitely unique...
**[07:16] Fay**
Don't you think so...
**[07:18] Fay**
Nel?
**[07:19] Nel**
H-How long have you known I was here?!
**[07:22] Fay**
The whole time.
**[07:23] Pearl**
Your face was totally visible.
**[07:30] Nel**
Master Fay. A-After seeing your battle
yesterday, I'm more certain than ever!
**[07:34] Nel**
I want to help you!
**[07:36] Nel**
Please... I can no longer fight myself
because I lost to the gods, but...
**[07:41] Nel**
Please let me assist you as a game analyst!
**[07:46] Nel**
Master Fay!
**[07:48] Fay**
I decline.
**[07:50] Nel**
Th-Then how about I be your maid?!
**[07:53] Nel**
I'll do your cleaning, laundry,
and cook your meals! All of it!
**[07:55] Leshea**
Absolutely not.
**[07:59] Nel**
I see...
**[08:01] Nel**
I'm sorry for wasting your time.
I guess I was too pathetic.
**[08:06] Fay**
Are you really satisfied with that?
**[08:09] Fay**
An analyst, a maid...
**[08:11] Fay**
That's not what you really want to do, is it?
**[08:16] Nel**
Wh-What are you talking about, Master Fay?!
**[08:18] Fay**
We'll be meeting up at the
Arcane Court tomorrow.
**[08:21] Nel**
Huh?
**[08:27] Baleggar**
Looks like the day's finally arrived,
**[08:30] Baleggar**
Lady Leoleshea, Mr. Fay, and Pearl.
**[08:33] Pearl**
I don't even get a "Miss"?!
**[08:34] Baleggar**
Now starts your real battle.
**[08:37] Baleggar**
You'll be doing a battle
of wits with the gods.
**[08:40] Baleggar**
You currently only have three members.
**[08:42] Baleggar**
In order to fulfill HQ's requirement
of at least ten members,
**[08:44] Baleggar**
we've chosen twelve apostles from our branch.
**[08:48] Fay**
Thank you.
**[08:49] Baleggar**
Indeed. They've already completed the dive.
**[08:53] Nel**
U-Um, Chief Secretary...?
**[08:57] Nel**
Wh-What am I doing here?
**[09:00] Baleggar**
I was told by Mr. Fay that you'd
also be watching the match.
**[09:03] Nel**
Huh?
**[09:05] Nel**
Master Fay. I spent all night thinking
about it, but I still don't understand.
**[09:08] Nel**
What did you mean yesterday?
**[09:11] Fay**
Aren't teammates supposed to
stand by their team?
**[09:15] Fay**
I'm sure it's unsatisfying,
only being able to stand by...
**[09:18] Fay**
but, for now, just believe and support us.
**[09:21] Nel**
What do you mean, Master Fay?!
**[09:23] Leshea**
Okay, let's go!
**[09:23] Pearl**
Wait, don't push me!
**[09:27] Nel**
Master Fay!
**[09:29] Nel**
I don't understand what you're saying...
**[09:31] Nel**
But since I'm here, there's
only one thing for me to do.
**[09:34] Nel**
I'm going to support you
with everything I have!
**[09:37] Fay**
Right.
***SIGN*** Is it my turn yet...?
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[09:48] Pearl**
It's so hot... Why's the
sun coming down so strong?
**[09:54] Fay**
Everything about this place
seems like a real desert.
**[09:57] Leshea**
I wonder what kind of game
we're playing this time.
**[09:59] Dax**
We've been waiting for you, Fay.
**[10:07] Dax**
Let's see your true worth!
**[10:09] Kelritch**
Pleasure to work with you again.
**[10:12] Fay**
That entrance wasn't planned or anything...
**[10:20] Camilla**
Hello, Lady Leoleshea the Dragon God.
**[10:23] Camilla**
Also, Fay and Pearl. My name is...
**[10:26] Dax**
Her name is Camilla. The rest of them are
members of Camilla's team, Archangel.
**[10:31] Camilla**
Wait, why are *you* saying *my* line?!
**[10:33] Dax**
You may just think of them as filler.
**[10:35] Camilla**
How rude can you be?!
**[10:38] Dax**
Fay!
**[10:41] Dax**
This is your event.
**[10:43] Dax**
It is not my place to interfere... but!
**[10:46] Dax**
As your fated rival, I look
forward to your gameplay.
**[10:51] Fay**
Huh? Uh, yeah. I'm just
gonna do what I usually do.
**[10:55] Dax**
Very good!
**[10:57] Dax**
Now, all the actors are
here! Come forth, god!
**[11:01] Fay**
What was that about not interfering?!
**[11:07] Apostle A**
Wh-What's that?
**[11:15] Apostle B**
What *is* that?
**[11:18] Fay**
That's...
**[11:23] Fay**
A pyramid?
**[11:26] Meep**
Hello! Welcome to my god's Elements!
**[11:31] Meep**
Hm? Fifteen of you?
**[11:33] Meep**
That's two less than what
my master anticipated.
**[11:37] Camilla**
Huh? What did you just say?
**[11:38] Meep**
But it's time now, so we're going
to cut off the game to more players
**[11:42] Meep**
and begin explaining the game!
**[11:44] Meep**
Now, as a token of our friendship, I'd
like to give you all some flowers!
**[11:59] Fay**
* Huh... It's curious that it's just*
* the bud before it's about to bloom.*
**[12:03] Meep**
You'll be disqualified if you lose
those, so make sure you hold onto them.
**[12:07] Meep**
Once those buds bloom, they'll
be one of three colors.
**[12:11] Meep**
*There'll be gold, black, and white.*
**[12:13] Meep**
*The gold one is called the sun flower.*
***SIGN*** Sun flower
**[12:15] Meep**
* There's only one of those out*
* of the flowers I gave out.*
**[12:19] Meep**
* The black poison flower. There's*
* also only one of those.*
***SIGN*** Poison flower
**[12:23] Meep**
*And the white one is the sand flower.*
***SIGN*** Sand flower
**[12:25] Meep**
*The remaining thirteen will be those.*
**[12:28] Meep**
* The goal is to offer the sun flower upon*
* the altar at the top of the pyramid.*
**[12:33] Meep**
We call it the Sunsteal Scramble.
**[12:37] Fay**
There's about two to three
kilometers to the goal.
**[12:40] Leshea**
That distance wouldn't even
take me five minutes...
**[12:44] Leshea**
as long as nothing gets in my way.
**[12:46] Fay**
Yeah, and I'm sure something
will get in our way.
**[12:49] Fay**
They're calling this a "scramble" after all.
**[12:51] Meep**
You are quite correct!
**[12:53] Meep**
My master's team will get in your
way and try to take your flowers!
**[12:57] Meep**
Allow me to introduce you.
**[12:59] Meep**
Come forth, beasts that
my master has created!
**[13:16] Cat Golem**
Meow.
**[13:19] Fay**
Wait, that's a cat!
**[13:23] Pearl**
They're so cute!
**[13:31] Pearl**
H-Hey, wait...
**[13:35] Pearl**
Th-They're huge!
**[13:37] Fay**
So those guys are on the god's
team and going to get in our way.
**[13:40] Meep**
Correct.
**[13:41] Meep**
They're going to come for your flowers.
**[13:44] Meep**
Conversely, if you all steal the beasts'
flowers, they'll be out of the game.
**[13:50] Meep**
* And if they take your sun flower,*
* your whole team will lose.*
**[13:55] Meep**
One of them on my master's
team also has a sun flower,
**[13:58] Meep**
so stealing the beasts'
flowers is one strategy.
**[14:02] Leshea**
What about the other two flowers?
**[14:04] Meep**
Stealing the sand flowers
or having them stolen
**[14:07] Meep**
will not result in a win or loss.
**[14:08] Meep**
They're basically camouflage. However...
**[14:10] Meep**
* If you steal a poison flower,*
* your team will get a debuff.*
**[14:15] Meep**
* Not only will the opposing team find*
* out who has the sun flower,*
**[14:18] Meep**
but your whole team will be
stunned for five seconds.
***SIGN*** Stun
**[14:21] Meep**
While you're stunned, you won't be
able to move, attack, or defend.
**[14:26] Meep**
This goes for both teams.
**[14:28] Leshea**
So you *want* the other team to take them.
**[14:30] Pearl**
If we successfully have the
enemies take the poison flower,
**[14:33] Pearl**
we'd be able to get 20 meters
away in like five seconds...
**[14:37] Fay**
That five-second stun
essentially means we'd lose.
**[14:40] Pearl**
Wait, what?!
**[14:42] Fay**
Because if you let Leshea do
what she wants for five seconds,
**[14:44] Fay**
she could steal all the flowers she wants.
**[14:46] Pearl**
Oh, you're right.
**[14:48] Leshea**
The same goes for us.
**[14:50] Leshea**
If we were to take their poison
flower, we've essentially lost.
**[14:54] Fay**
* We have to guard the sun*
* flower with our lives*
**[14:56] Fay**
* and figure out how to get the*
* enemy to take the poison flower...*
**[14:58] Fay**
*Acting skills and intuition...*
**[15:00] Fay**
* This is going to test our cooperation*
* to figure out who'll carry what.*
**[15:04] Fay**
Is it all right to exchange information
to try to figure out who has what flower?
**[15:08] Meep**
Of course. Try peeking inside the buds a bit.
**[15:13] Fay**
It's white... meaning it's a sand flower.
**[15:17] Pearl**
I-I have the sun flower!
**[15:19] Kelritch**
I have the poison flower.
**[15:23] Camilla**
The rest are sand flowers.
**[15:25] Meep**
So you all know who has what flower now?
**[15:29] Meep**
You can exchange flowers freely! Make sure
you choose who holds what flower wisely.
**[15:35] Fay**
Let's review.
**[15:36] Fay**
This Sunsteal Scramble has three
rules that affect victory and defeat.
***SIGN*** Victory
Condition 1
***SIGN*** Place the
sun flower
onto the
altar at the
top of the
pyramid as
an offering
***SIGN*** Victory
Condition 2
***SIGN*** Take
the
god's
team's
sun
flower
***SIGN*** Loss
Condition
***SIGN*** The
human
team's
sun
flower
is stolen
**[15:48] Pearl**
There's a few thousand meters to
the pyramid off on the horizon.
**[15:51] Pearl**
And in the race to the goal,
**[15:53] Pearl**
we're going to be chased by
the god and the cat golems.
**[15:56] Fay**
Yeah. They're pretty fast,
**[15:59] Fay**
so in order to get away, you'll
need high athletic abilities.
**[16:02] Fay**
I mean... We know who the best
candidate to hold the sun flower is.
**[16:06] Leshea**
Hm? I'm fine with holding
it, but more importantly...
**[16:13] Leshea**
Wouldn't it be more fun to
hold onto the poison flower?
**[16:16] Fay**
I considered that, too.
That's another possibility.
**[16:19] Fay**
The god's team will probably predict
that Leshea will have the sun flower,
**[16:24] Fay**
so I think flipping that on
them would be a great strategy.
**[16:27] Pearl**
So who's going to hold the sun flower?
**[16:31] Fay**
Someone with a superhuman ability.
**[16:34] Fay**
Who fits that bill?
**[16:41] Fay and Pearl**
Huh?
**[16:44] Kelritch**
What's that look for? Are you surprised
that I'm the superhuman type?
**[16:49] Fay**
Actually, yeah.
**[16:50] Pearl**
I figured you'd be a magical type.
**[16:54] Kelritch**
My Arise is instantaneous
physical reinforcement.
**[16:57] Kelritch**
I'll be able to protect myself, so I
think leaving it to me is a good option.
**[17:02] Fay**
I'll keep that in mind.
**[17:05] Fay**
Can we switch flowers during the game?
**[17:06] Meep**
You can.
**[17:08] Meep**
But if there's even a moment
when you have no flower on you,
**[17:12] Meep**
you'll be disqualified
for not having a flower.
**[17:16] Fay**
*What if we try to throw them to each other?*
**[17:19] Meep**
*Bzzt.*
**[17:20] Meep**
* That would cause you to not have*
* a flower even for a second,*
**[17:22] Meep**
*so you'll be disqualified at that moment.*
**[17:25] Pearl**
In that case...
**[17:26] Pearl**
*I'll use my Arise to switch out our flowers!*
**[17:29] Pearl**
*Shift Change!*
**[17:32] Meep**
*Bzzt!*
**[17:33] Pearl**
*Huh?!*
**[17:34] Fay**
* Still, we'd lose our flowers*
* the instant the transfer occurs,*
**[17:37] Fay**
*so we'd be disqualified.*
**[17:39] Fay**
* If a player is in a pinch, can they*
* throw their flower to someone else?*
**[17:42] Meep**
*Ding, ding!*
**[17:44] Meep**
*That is possible.*
**[17:45] Meep**
Of course, the player who threw
the flower will be disqualified.
**[17:49] Fay**
* So basically, this will take some*
* perfect teamwork between the fifteen of us.*
**[17:53] Fay**
* We all have to protect the*
* sun flower with our lives.*
**[17:56] Dax**
Fay.
**[18:00] Dax**
You decide who's going to hold what flower.
**[18:03] Dax**
This is your gods' game.
**[18:05] Camilla**
Dax?! What's with you today?
**[18:07] Camilla**
Usually, you'd say, "I'm clearly the
only option to hold the sun flower."
**[18:12] Camilla**
What's brought this on?
**[18:16] (Flashback) Nel**
Let's make a wager.
**[18:18] (Flashback) Dax**
How interesting.
**[18:20] Dax**
It's because I lost a bet.
**[18:22] Dax**
I just genuinely want to know how my
unparalleled rival will face off with a god.
**[18:32] Camilla**
Well, whatever.
**[18:36] Camilla**
Fay, here are our Arises for reference.
**[18:41] Camilla**
That's the data list for the team.
**[18:43] Camilla**
It has the number of wins and losses
and details regarding our Arises.
**[18:49] Fay**
Thanks.
**[18:50] Fay**
I've looked through them.
**[18:51] Camilla**
Already?!
**[18:53] Fay**
All right. First, give
me all of your flowers.
**[18:57] Fay**
I'm going to shuffle and redistribute them.
**[19:00] Fay**
* The ones that are going to get*
* the sun and poison flowers are...*
**[19:09] Fay**
I've got it.
**[19:19] Fay**
Everyone, could you take a look
inside your flowers like earlier?
**[19:24] Fay**
Make sure no one else sees what's inside.
**[19:32] Kelritch**
So *that's* your play.
**[19:35] Fay**
My plan's already been set into motion.
**[19:38] Fay**
The basic rundown of my plan is...
**[19:40] Camilla**
Hang on a sec! Tell us who
has the sun flower first!
**[19:44] Fay**
No, this is necessary for the plan.
**[19:47] Fay**
I'm not going to tell anyone
who has the sun flower.
**[19:50] Camilla**
Wait, what?!
**[19:51] Fay**
If I tell you who has it, everyone's
going to try to protect them.
**[19:55] Fay**
That means the god will also
figure out who has it, right?
**[19:58] Dax**
But if your teammates don't even
know, the god won't find out.
**[20:02] Dax**
That's your play, isn't it?
**[20:04] Fay**
The god is used to playing this game.
**[20:07] Fay**
So...
**[20:08] Fay**
The best way to go about this is to use
a strategy that the god's never seen.
**[20:12] Fay**
I need you all to believe in me.
**[20:15] Meep**
Looks like you've decided on your plan.
**[20:17] Meep**
In that case, let us welcome
my master, Mahtma II!
**[20:33] Mahtma II**
*Well?*
**[20:35] Mahtma II**
*Has the game begun yet?*
**[20:38] Pearl**
Wh-What is this? I'm hearing
something in my head...
**[20:41] Fay**
Is this telepathy?
**[20:42] Pearl**
U-Um!
**[20:43] Pearl**
There's something I really need to ask!
**[20:46] Pearl**
Since you're Mahtma II, does
that mean there's a Mahtma I?
**[20:50] Mahtma II**
*No.*
**[20:51] Pearl**
Don't you think that's a bit confusing?!
**[20:54] Mahtma II**
* All of this world is a*
* game. My name included.*
**[21:01] Fay**
So that's...
**[21:02] Fay**
the god's flower.
**[21:04] Leshea**
Do you think he has the sun flower?
**[21:06] Fay**
Well, it'd be the safest for the god to
hold onto it, so the possibility's high.
**[21:10] Leshea**
So he's basically telling us
to come steal it if we can.
**[21:15] Fay**
Then I'll make sure we can face that head on!
**[21:20] Mahtma II**
*I'm going to begin the game.*
**[21:21] Mahtma II**
* Humans, play this game with*
* omniscience and omnipotence.*
**[21:29] Mahtma II**
*What are you doing?*
**[21:31] Mahtma II**
*Humans.*
**[21:32] Fay**
It's just what it looks like.
**[21:33] Leshea**
The game's about to begin,
right? Then let's get started.
**[21:38] Fay and Leshea**
The one who has the sun flower...
**[21:41] Fay and Leshea**
is me.
**[21:49] Uroboros**
Too slow.
**[21:50] Uroboros**
Too slow, too slow, too slow!
**[21:52] Uroboros**
They promised me we'd play again!
**[21:55] Uroboros**
I can't wait any longer!
***SIGN*** Undefeated
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[22:06] Uroboros**
Tiny humans, I'm coming to look for you!

**[00:00] Fay and Leshea**
The one who has the sun flower...
**[00:03] Fay and Leshea**
is me.
**[00:05] Baleggar**
They both declared that they have it?
**[00:08] Nel**
I believe...
**[00:10] Nel**
* Master Fay and Lady Leshea probably*
* have the sun flower and the poison flower.*
**[00:18] Baleggar**
Is there a possibility
that they're both lying?
**[00:23] Nel**
Of course, that is also a possibility.
**[00:29] Nel**
Master Fay, I'll be observing
how this plays out.
**[00:34] Apostle A**
What's going on?
**[00:35] Apostle B**
What are they thinking?
**[00:38] Pearl**
Fay, what are you...
**[00:41] Dax**
Fay...
**[00:43] Dax**
I'm on board with this plan of yours.
**[00:49] Fay**
*This is good.*
**[00:50] Fay**
* If I can't even trick my own teammates,*
* there's no way I can trick a god.*
**[00:56] Meep**
Thank you all for waiting!
**[00:59] Meep**
And now...
**[01:00] Meep**
Let the games begin!
**[01:12] Mahtma II**
*Come to me, my army!*
**[01:16] Fay**
What's that?
**[01:21] Pearl**
It's the cat golems again!
They're so adorable!
**[01:25] Fay**
No, wait a sec.
**[01:31] Fay**
Oh, come on!

*What a brilliant sight.*
**[01:39] Mahtma II**
*Fifteen pawns versus 1,667 pawns.*
**[01:44] Mahtma II**
*Now let us fight fair and square!*

You call this fair and square?!

Where Did the Sun Go?
**[03:35] Camilla**
The enemy team had the god
and three subordinates
**[03:37] Camilla**
while we had fifteen including Lady Leoleshea.
**[03:40] Camilla**
I thought we had this in the bag.
**[03:43] Camilla**
I definitely miscalculated that!
**[03:46] Kelritch**
Pardon me.
**[03:47] Pearl**
Kelritch, you're too fast!
**[03:50] Fay**
That may help us out.
**[03:52] Fay**
She hasn't even used her Arise yet.
**[03:58] Pearl**
D-Do they seem like they're getting faster?
**[04:03] Fay**
So they're going 60kph...
**[04:06] Fay**
They're gonna catch up
to us in thirty seconds.
**[04:08] Pearl**
Then we have no chance of winning!
**[04:10] Fay**
This game is made so that
**[04:12] Fay**
the god's army can chase down the
human team at a faster speed.
**[04:15] Fay**
We're just going to have
to figure that part out.
**[04:17] Pearl**
And how are we supposed to do that?
**[04:20] Leshea**
Human up front! Evade!
**[04:22] Dax**
Kelritch! Jump back!
**[04:26] Wizard Golem**
Divine punishment!
**[04:31] Kelritch**
A sandstorm?
**[04:35] Pearl**
They have a wizard who
can attack from far away?
**[04:38] Pearl**
Did it also just say "divine punishment"?
**[04:40] Fay**
If we get too close, we're gonna get caught,
**[04:42] Fay**
and if we stray too far away, we'll
have powerful magic to deal with.
**[04:45] Leshea**
I'm pretty sure a human wouldn't
be able to withstand that.
**[04:50] Apostle A**
S-Save me!
**[04:52] Apostle C**
Let him go! You stupid monster cat!
**[05:00] Apostle A**
Crap!
**[05:09] Camilla**
Don't get ahead of yourselves! Frostbite!
**[05:19] Dax**
Behold, god and said god's
army! This is my power!
**[05:23] Dax**
Dax Hurricane!
**[05:26] Fay**
Is that *really* the name of that attack?
**[05:29] Pearl**
What a beautiful name...
**[05:32] Fay**
Pearl! Above you!
**[05:33] Pearl**
Huh?
**[05:36] Pearl**
Please don't crush me!
**[05:46] Pearl**
The Wandering!
**[05:49] Pearl**
You're not cute after all!
**[05:51] Pearl**
Huh?
**[05:55] Fay**
Pearl!
**[05:59] Pearl**
I'm in serious danger in more ways than one!
**[06:08] Kelritch**
I don't like pervy cats.
**[06:10] Pearl**
Kelritch!
**[06:19] Kelritch**
I have a professional boxing license,
though people say it doesn't suit me.
**[06:24] Pearl**
Th-Thank you very much! So
that must be Cosmic Impact!
**[06:28] Kelritch**
I don't ever remember giving it that
kind of a name. It's called Aura Drive.
**[06:36] Camilla**
Everyone!
**[06:39] Camilla**
There's way too many of them!
**[06:43] Fay**
Get down!
**[06:44] Camilla**
Huh?
**[06:45] Leshea**
Shatter!
**[06:56] Leshea**
Okay, let's flee.
**[06:59] Kelritch**
Could it be that if we make her mad, the
human world could be in grave danger?
**[07:03] Fay**
Shh, she'll hear you.
**[07:08] Pearl**
Th-The ground's going back to normal.
**[07:11] Leshea**
We're in an Elements.
**[07:13] Leshea**
The desert's going to regenerate in no time.
**[07:15] Camilla**
So this is all the god's power.
**[07:19] Camilla**
What's that ahead?
**[07:20] Kelritch**
A forest...
**[07:22] Kelritch**
No.
**[07:24] Kelritch**
An oasis.
**[07:26] Dax**
We're trying to get to a pyramid,
**[07:29] Dax**
but now I guess we're seeing a
gimmick we'd only see in deserts.
**[07:32] Dax**
Kelritch, what do you think of that?
**[07:35] Kelritch**
Usually, I'd say we should ignore it, but
I believe that Pearl should get changed.
**[07:40] Pearl**
R-Right!
**[07:42] Pearl**
Th-This is bad! The golems!
**[07:48] Fay**
Leshea, can you do that shatter thing again?
**[07:51] Leshea**
All right!
**[08:03] Leshea**
No way!
**[08:04] Fay**
They can actually jump that far?
**[08:06] Apostle F**
Why you...
**[08:10] Apostle F**
They have shields that
nullify magical attacks?!
**[08:16] Camilla**
Why you...
**[08:20] Fay**
Camilla!
**[08:21] Camilla**
Stay back!
**[08:22] Camilla**
I have a sand flower. We
won't lose if it gets stolen.
**[08:26] Fay**
But...
**[08:28] Camilla**
Go!
**[08:29] Camilla**
All of you can just freeze!
**[08:35] Camilla**
Go! Don't worry about us!
**[08:39] Fay**
Sorry!

**[08:51] Kelritch**
Shouldn't you hide your flower?
**[08:54] Dax**
It's over if we're caught.
There's no point in hiding it.
**[08:58] Dax**
So it's better to have it in your hand
so you can throw it to someone else.
**[09:01] Kelritch**
I just plan to run with all my might.
**[09:09] Wizard Golem**
You've gone too far so it's
divine punishment time!
**[09:13] Pearl**
I won't let that happen! The Wandering!
**[09:21] Kelritch and Pearl**
Dax!
**[09:27] Kelritch**
Why you... sand dolls!
**[09:31] Fay**
Kelritch! Stay calm!
**[09:34] Kelritch**
I have a sand flower.
**[09:37] Kelritch**
The one who has the sun
flower is one of you three.
**[09:41] Kelritch**
I'll stall them here.
**[09:43] Kelritch**
Hurry to the pyramid!
**[09:45] Leshea**
We think alike.
**[09:46] Kelritch**
Huh?
**[09:48] Leshea**
I don't have the sun flower either, so
maybe I'll join the group to stall them.
**[09:54] Leshea**
I'll leave the rest to you.
**[09:56] Fay**
Got it!
**[10:01] Camilla**
I'm sorry about this, Chief Secretary.
**[10:03] Baleggar**
No, you did good work.
**[10:06] Baleggar**
I'm not going to beat around the
bush. Who has the sun flower?
**[10:10] Camilla**
This is just my guess, but...
**[10:13] Camilla**
* As those two declared, I believe*
* they do have sand flowers.*
**[10:17] Camilla**
* Fay and Pearl, who are*
* heading to the pyramid,*
**[10:19] Camilla**
* have the sun and poison flower*
* and plan to force the god to make a choice.*
**[10:26] Baleggar**
I see.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Nel**
Let's make a wager on
tomorrow's goodwill match!
**[10:42] (Flashback) Dax**
How interesting.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Nel**
I wager that Master Fay is going to win.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Nel**
And if Master Fay wins, you'll have to
listen to one thing I ask of you to do.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Nel**
If you win, I will join your team.
**[10:55] Dax**
Because you won that bet,
**[10:57] Dax**
you requested that I do everything
in my power to help Fay win.
**[11:02] Dax**
Now, we're even.
**[11:06] Dax**
Just watch how the man you
chose plays this game.
**[11:13] Pearl**
W-We finally got this far!
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[11:26] Fay**
Pearl.
**[11:28] Fay**
This is the sun flower.
**[11:30] Fay**
If we place this upon the altar
at the top of the pyramid...
**[11:34] Fay**
we'll win.
**[11:36] Pearl**
Right. I'll do everything
I can to support you, Fay!
**[11:42] Mahtma II**
*I congratulate you for getting this far.*
**[11:44] Mahtma II**
*All that is left are these stairs.*
**[11:46] Mahtma II**
*Now, see if you can conquer them!*
**[11:49] Fay**
Let's go, Pearl! We're gonna
run straight up to the top!
**[11:53] Pearl**
Right!
**[11:54] Mahtma II**
*Come to me, my army!*
**[11:58] Fay**
Pearl, hurry!
**[12:06] Pearl**
Fay!
**[12:07] Fay**
Don't worry about me! Just go!
**[12:13] Mahtma II**
*That must be the sun flower!*
**[12:15] Fay**
Pearl, run!
**[12:20] Mahtma II**
*Seize her!*
**[12:35] Pearl**
Bring it on!
**[12:36] Mahtma II**
*You think you can surpass me?*
**[12:38] Pearl**
If I don't, I won't be
able to get to the top!
**[12:44] Mahtma II**
*A god stands before you!*
**[12:46] Pearl**
The Wandering!
**[12:49] Mahtma II**
* Oho... Did she instantly transfer*
* herself to the top of the pyramid?*
**[12:54] Mahtma II**
*Where did she go?!*
**[12:56] Pearl**
Over here!
**[12:58] Pearl**
There are two ways the human side can win!
***SIGN*** Victory

***SIGN*** Victory
Condition 2

flower
**[13:05] Pearl**
If I can take that flower, we win!
**[13:17] Pearl**
I-I did it! I took the flower from the god!
**[13:23] Pearl**
Huh?!
**[13:27] Mahtma II**
* It's the poison flower. You will*
* be stunned for five seconds.*
**[13:30] Pearl**
B-But why?
**[13:32] Mahtma II**
* I possessed the sun flower. Or at least,*
* that's what you had hoped, is it not?*
**[13:39] Mahtma II**
* I will be kind and reveal the*
* location of my sun flower.*
**[13:45] Pearl**
It can't be...
**[13:48] Mahtma II**
*The best place to hide a
tree is in a forest.*
**[13:51] Mahtma II**
* Also, the poison flower reveals where*
* the enemy team's sun flower is.*
**[13:57] Mahtma II**
*Though you are clearly the only one.*
**[14:02] Mahtma II**
* It would've at least been amusing*
* if this were the poison flower.*
**[14:08] Mahtma II**
*Now, let us end things.*
**[14:12] Mahtma II**
*What?!*
**[14:13] Pearl**
Huh?! But why?!
**[14:19] Mahtma II**
*They don't have it either?*
**[14:22] (Flashback) Fay and Leshea**
The one who has the sun flower...
**[14:25] (Flashback) Fay and Leshea**
is me.
**[14:30] Mahtma II**
* None of them have the sun*
* flower?! Where did the sun go?!*
**[14:37] Fay**
It's time to review our answers, god!
**[14:42] Fay**
I had two flowers up until now.
**[14:46] Fay**
There was just one person who
left the game without getting his
**[14:50] Fay**
flower stolen by the cat golems.
**[15:00] Pearl**
*The one who had the sun flower was Dax?*
**[15:04] Fay**
* The reason that Dax was*
* running ahead of everyone*
**[15:07] Fay**
* was to get as far away from*
* the cat golems as possible,*
**[15:10] Fay**
* purposely go too far so he could summon*
* a sandstorm, and get caught up in it*
**[15:14] Fay**
* so that he could hide the fact*
* that he threw the sun flower.*
**[15:20] Fay**
The gods only smile upon
those who create miracles!
**[15:24] Fay**
Well? That was a fun game, wasn't it?
**[15:29] Mahtma II**
*Brilliant.*
**[15:31] Mahtma II**
*Surpass the path to the sun if you can!*
**[15:35] Mahtma II**
*Come to me, my army!*
**[15:38] Mahtma II**
*What?! A five-second stun?!*
**[15:41] Leshea**
You should've stopped all of the soldiers
**[15:44] Leshea**
right when you found out that Fay and
Pearl didn't have the poison flower.
**[15:52] Leshea**
I'm the one who had the poison flower!
**[15:57] Fay**
We can't have our flowers stolen...
so we'll just work around that!
**[16:01] Fay**
By forcing the poison
flower onto the enemy team,
**[16:04] Fay**
they get a five-second stun!
**[16:06] Mahtma II**
*But a mere five seconds is nothing!*
**[16:09] Fay**
You forgot something very important, god.
**[16:15] Kelritch**
From the point of view of a god,
I'm just another human being...
**[16:21] Kelritch**
But I can at least throw him to the altar!
**[16:26] Kelritch**
I'm a bit jealous of you.
**[16:31] Kelritch**
Dax's heart completely belongs to you...
**[16:35] Kelritch**
So I'm going to take some of my frustrations
out on you to distract myself!
**[16:43] Fay**
Ow! You just hit me for real, didn't you?!
**[16:47] Mahtma II**
*Unbelievable!*
**[16:57] Fay**
Anyway, I guess this means
we've won a group victory.
**[17:03] Mahtma II**
*I have no objections.*
**[17:08] Mahtma II**
* There is no end to these games*
* between humans and gods.*
**[17:12] Mahtma II**
*Human, I shall await you at a new game.*
**[17:16] Fay**
I'll look forward to it.
**[17:18] Mahtma II**
*Therefore, you may hold onto that flower.*

**[17:39] Fay**
So I heard...
**[17:40] Fay**
that you made a bet with Dax and made him
do everything he could to help me win.
**[17:45] Fay**
Thanks.
**[17:46] Nel**
It's nothing. I just wanted
to see you win, Master Fay.
**[17:53] Fay**
Is that really all?
**[17:59] Nel**
I...
**[18:02] Nel**
I wish that I were on your
team and could've played...
**[18:07] Nel**
the gods' games with you.
**[18:10] Fay**
Then let's make it happen.
**[18:12] Nel**
But I've already lost three times.
**[18:15] Nel**
It's already been decided
that I'll retire...
**[18:17] Fay**
No, it hasn't.
**[18:18] Fay**
There's one solution... isn't there?
**[18:22] Baleggar**
The solution you're thinking
about comes with a great risk.
**[18:27] Baleggar**
There hasn't been anyone who tried this
throughout the world in the last twenty years.
**[18:32] Nel**
For twenty years?!
**[18:34] Fay**
I'm aware of that. Nel, what's your record?
**[18:38] Nel**
Um... Three victories and three losses.
**[18:41] Fay**
I see...
**[18:47] Fay**
I think I'll be able to make it work.
**[18:50] Fay**
Chief Secretary Baleggar, could you
contact Chief Secretary Miranda for me?
**[18:54] Fay**
We're going to go challenge the Bookmaker.
**[18:59] Miranda**
There is indeed a god named Bookmaker.
***SIGN*** Normal Gods
***SIGN*** Bookmaker
**[19:03] Miranda**
Against a normal god, if
you win, you have one win.
**[19:06] Miranda**
But with the Bookmaker, rather than
gaining a win, your losses are reduced.
**[19:12] Miranda**
You'll only be able to
dive from a specific
**[19:14] Miranda**
Divine Gate to get to the Bookmaker.
**[19:16] Miranda**
Unfortunately, there isn't
one at the Mal-ra office.
**[19:20] Fay**
But it exists in Ruin, doesn't it?
**[19:24] Miranda**
Yes, it's a Divine Gate that's been
collecting dust for about forty years now.
**[19:28] Miranda**
So, how are you planning to do this?
**[19:30] Fay**
We're going to use one of my wins
to let Nel challenge the Bookmaker.
**[19:34] Fay**
If she wins, a loss will disappear,
**[19:36] Fay**
so she'll revert to two losses
and won't retire.
**[19:38] Pearl**
But if she's using one of your wins...
**[19:41] Nel**
Wait! If I were to wager one of
your wins and then lose it...
**[19:46] Fay**
That's fine.
**[19:47] Miranda**
No.
**[19:49] Miranda**
Fay currently has six wins.
**[19:51] Miranda**
You're close to getting the
first ten wins in history,
**[19:53] Miranda**
so wagering any of those
wins is a huge problem.
**[19:57] Pearl**
Then we can just let her
wager one of my wins!
**[20:00] Pearl**
You're exactly right about Fay's
wins being very important.
**[20:03] Pearl**
So the solution is to just use one of mine.
**[20:08] Pearl**
Nel is very serious about wanting
to play the games with us!
**[20:12] Pearl**
We feel the same way Nel does!
**[20:15] Pearl**
Right?
**[20:16] Fay**
Yeah.
**[20:17] Fay**
This is what we've decided. We just need
your agreement, Chief Secretary.
**[20:21] Fay**
And I still say we should bet one of my wins.
**[20:25] Fay**
Good with that, Leshea?
**[20:26] Leshea**
Yeah, that's fine.
**[20:29] Leshea**
Say, Miranda...
**[20:30] Miranda**
Yes, Lady Leoleshea.
**[20:32] Leshea**
Speaking as a former god, apostles who wish
to make a comeback don't matter at all.
**[20:39] Leshea**
The gods...
**[20:41] Leshea**
only smile upon those who create miracles.
**[20:45] Leshea**
And the only one to do that
for myself and Fay is Nel.
**[20:49] Leshea**
She's worthy in my eyes,
so I guess that's settled.
**[20:55] Miranda**
Then I will make immediate preparations
for the dive once you've returned to Ruin.
**[21:02] Nel**
Everyone.
**[21:08] Fay**
The miracle hasn't happened just yet.
**[21:10] Fay**
All we can do right now is
prepare for one to happen.
**[21:15] Fay**
Make sure you win, Nel.
**[21:16] Nel**
I will! Of course I will! Thank you!
**[21:19] Nel**
Master Fay, Pearl, Lady Leoleshea.
**[21:23] Nel**
I thank all of you here.
**[21:27] Fay**
Despite what the chief secretary said,
**[21:29] Fay**
don't worry about my wins
going down and bet them.
**[21:32] Fay**
Even if it's one loss or two—
**[21:33] Nel**
No!
**[21:35] Nel**
I will only be borrowing one
win from you, Master Fay.
**[21:37] Nel**
That is all I will use to
win against the Bookmaker!
***SIGN*** 96 hours later

Wh-What are you doing, Pearl?!
**[02:02] Pearl**
Well, your mind was in another world, Nel.
**[02:06] Nel**
Oh, sorry. I'm making everything gloomy...
**[02:10] Fay**
Oh, no worries. I was thinking
about something, too.
**[02:14] Pearl**
Are you thinking about the Bookmaker, Fay?
**[02:17] Fay**
Well, yeah... The Bookmaker is a completely
different beast than the other gods.
**[02:23] Fay**
The game is a one-on-one
between a human and a god.
**[02:27] Fay**
We'll wager a teammate's win.
**[02:30] Fay**
This time, we'll use my win as a chip.
**[02:33] Fay**
If Nel wins, she'll lose one of her losses.
**[02:36] Nel**
But if I lose...

You're ruining the super-grave mood here!
**[02:47] Nel**
I may be out of place to say this,
**[02:50] Nel**
but you should be far prouder
of your achievements!
**[02:54] Fay**
You think so?
**[02:55] Nel**
The average win rate in
the gods' games is 11%.
**[02:59] Nel**
One win is ten times more
precious than a loss.
**[03:02] Nel**
But you currently have six wins.
**[03:04] Nel**
You could become the first
to reach ten wins.
**[03:07] Fay**
I guess. All I can say is you
don't have to worry about it.
**[03:12] Nel**
What do you mean?
**[03:13] Fay**
There's a possibility of winning.
**[03:14] Pearl**
Ooh! Impressive as ever, Fay!
**[03:17] Pearl**
So you must have a secret strategy to win!
**[03:19] Fay**
I don't.
**[03:20] Pearl**
Th-Then were you able to predict what
game the Bookmaker might choose?
**[03:25] Fay**
No, not at all.
**[03:26] Pearl**
Then why do you think we
have a chance at winning?
**[03:29] Fay**
Because we're up against the Bookmaker.
**[03:32] Nel**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[03:34] Fay**
I'd love to tell you, but I'm
not completely sure myself yet
**[03:38] Fay**
since this is my first time
facing the Bookmaker, too.
**[03:42] Fay**
Leshea, do you care if Nel loses
and I lose some of my wins?
**[03:46] Leshea**
She won't lose.
**[03:49] Leshea**
There's a chance of winning, right?
**[03:51] Fay**
There is.
**[03:52] Leshea**
Then we should just go for it.
**[03:53] Leshea**
Nel, I'll be rooting for you, too.
**[03:56] Nel**
Th-Thank you, Lady Leshea...
**[03:59] Leshea**
So there's no possibility
that you'll lose... is there?
**[04:02] Nel**
Huh? W-Well... Of course, I'll give it my all.
**[04:06] Leshea**
Of course. I mean, with all this
hope and time we've invested in you,
**[04:10] Leshea**
you wouldn't possibly lose
ever so pitifully, would you?
**[04:12] Leshea**
We ended up suddenly canceling the World
Games Tour and are heading back to Ruin,
**[04:17] Leshea**
so you wouldn't let that
all go to waste, would you?
**[04:22] Leshea**
Huh? What's wrong?
**[04:24] Pearl**
She fainted because
**[04:26] Pearl**
you dumped a bunch of pressure
onto her without realizing it!
**[04:29] Pearl**
Nel! Nel! Please wake up!
**[04:37] Miranda**
Welcome back, Lady Leoleshea.
**[04:39] Miranda**
Great work, Fay.
**[04:41] Miranda**
Welcome back, Pearl. You also did great.
**[04:44] Pearl**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[04:46] Miranda**
I knew your true potential
as soon as you joined us.
**[04:51] Miranda**
I knew you'd carry our branch.
**[04:53] Pearl**
This all sounds very conveniently sudden!
**[04:55] Miranda**
Anyway, that's enough with the jokes.
**[04:58] Miranda**
Nel.
**[04:59] Nel**
Y-Yes, ma'am! I'm sorry for
all the trouble I've caused.
**[05:04] Nel**
Um, I've brought you some Mal-ra buns!
**[05:07] Miranda**
Oh? How unique.
**[05:10] Miranda**
If I'm being quiet honest...
**[05:12] Miranda**
As the chief secretary, I really
wish you'd all give me a break,
**[05:15] Miranda**
but since you're doing this, do
your best with this comeback.
**[05:18] Nel**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[05:21] Miranda**
So when do you want to face the Bookmaker?
**[05:23] Nel**
I'm ready whenever!
**[05:26] Miranda**
Then I'd say the earliest would
be the day after tomorrow.
**[05:28] Miranda**
Fay, just confirming, but she
has a chance to win this, right?
**[05:32] Fay**
She does.
***SIGN*** Ruin Branch: Women's Dorms
**[05:37] Pearl**
Let our welcome party
slash girls' night begin!
**[05:41] Pearl**
Welcome, Nel! There's not much room,
but please make yourself at home.
**[05:44] Nel**
Th-Thank you...
**[05:46] Pearl**
Oh, it's no problem at all! I mean, look.
**[05:49] Leshea**
This bed is amazing! It
just pulls you right in.
**[05:53] Leshea**
It's so fluffy I can't get back up.
**[05:56] Pearl**
I know, right?
**[05:57] Pearl**
I spent last year's salary on
this bed that makes you feel like
**[06:00] Pearl**
you can't get back up once you lay down.
**[06:04] Leshea**
Zzz...
**[06:06] Pearl**
Did you fall asleep already?!
**[06:08] Nel**
Thank you so much, Pearl...
for being so welcoming.
**[06:13] Pearl**
Oh, it's nothing at all. Fay and
Leshea are who I strive to be...
**[06:18] Pearl**
I look up to them so much...
**[06:21] Pearl**
So... I thought it'd be nice to have someone
else I can work hard with and talk to.
**[06:28] Nel**
Pearl... you're just so...
**[06:34] Nel**
I totally understand how you feel!
**[06:36] Nel**
We can't be content with being ordinary!
**[06:39] Nel**
We must grow enough to help them!
**[06:42] Pearl**
Y-Yes, you're absolutely right, of course.
**[06:45] Pearl**
But, um... before we get started,
why don't we hop into the bath?
**[06:48] Leshea**
The bath?!
**[06:49] Pearl**
Oh, would you like to join us, Leshea?
**[06:52] Leshea**
I just remembered something urgent.
**[06:54] Leshea**
You two can go enjoy the bath.
**[07:04] Pearl**
Leshea always has something urgent come
up whenever I'm about to take a bath.
**[07:15] Nel**
This is adorable. Far different from my bath.
**[07:20] Pearl**
How does the water feel?
**[07:22] Nel**
Oh, it's just about... right?!
**[07:28] Nel**
H-How magnificent...
**[07:31] Nel**
I thought they were big
even when you were clothed,
**[07:34] Nel**
but to think they're even
bigger when you're naked!
**[07:37] Pearl**
My bra's been getting too
tight again recently.
**[07:40] Pearl**
So they might look bigger when I take it off.
**[07:45] Nel**
They've been released from their seal!
**[07:47] Pearl**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[07:49] Nel**
What do you mean you're ordinary?!
**[07:52] Nel**
When you possess something so enviable...
**[07:54] Nel**
Do you have watermelons stuffed in there?!
**[07:57] Pearl**
What kind of magic trick is that?!
**[07:59] Nel**
You can't even hide them
completely with both hands!
**[08:02] Nel**
Even looking at you from behind, those
mounds are gloriously visible...
**[08:05] Nel**
And despite their mass, they
are still perfectly round!
**[08:10] Nel**
They're as smooth as a babe,
**[08:12] Nel**
and you don't even have
to press them together!
**[08:14] Nel**
Natural and gentle...
**[08:15] Nel**
They're just so arousing...
**[08:18] Pearl**
Could you stop with the play-by-play?!
**[08:21] Nel**
They're so jiggly!
**[08:22] Pearl**
No sound effects either!
**[08:24] Nel**
You possess divine peaks...
**[08:27] Nel**
While I'm an endless plain...
**[08:31] Pearl**
Was that supposed to sound poetic?!
**[08:35] Nel**
I am a failure...
**[08:36] Nel**
This must be why Lady Leshea left the room.
**[08:41] Pearl**
Um, Nel...?
**[08:43] Pearl**
Oh, right. Nel, you have
plenty to be proud of.
**[08:50] Pearl**
Nel, your charm point... are your thighs!
**[08:54] Nel**
I-I see!
**[08:56] Nel**
Now I just need Master Fay to truly awaken...
**[09:00] Nel**
And realize that he wants
to fondle my firm thighs!
**[09:03] Pearl**
Could you not make Fay
sound like some pervert?!
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[09:11] Fay**
So I guess there really aren't any cameras.
**[09:14] Miranda**
The Godeye Lens won't work
with the Bookmaker's games.
**[09:18] Fay**
So they won't allow any
interference from the outside.
**[09:22] Miranda**
This god insists on one-on-ones, so they
probably set up their Elements that way.
**[09:27] Miranda**
Are you ready?
**[09:30] Nel**
I will win against the
Bookmaker no matter what.
**[09:47] Leshea**
This place looks like some
abandoned casino room.
**[09:50] Fay**
Yeah. Everything's a bit weird.
**[09:53] Nel**
Where's the god in question?
**[09:55] Nel**
What're they plotting, bringing us
into such a small space like this?
**[10:00] Gremoire**
This is a polymorphic space
that reveals your soul.
**[10:04] Gremoire**
You're the one who created it.
**[10:07] Gremoire**
This small room...
**[10:11] Gremoire**
...is the physical manifestation
of your doubts.
**[10:14] Gremoire**
The light above is strong because you
still hope to have somewhat of a future.
**[10:23] Gremoire**
Hm... This is a fine casino table.
**[10:26] Gremoire**
You seem to be serious about challenging me.
**[10:30] Pearl**
Now there're two Nels?!
**[10:32] Gremoire**
Yes, how delightful. I haven't
faced a human in ages.
**[10:37] Gremoire**
Now, let us play.
**[10:41] Gremoire**
I am Gremoire, the Unstable Polymorphic God.
**[10:45] Gremoire**
Mimic, shapeshifter, doppelganger...
**[10:50] Gremoire**
I've been called many names
by humanity over the ages.
**[10:54] Gremoire**
Bookmaker is another of those names.
**[10:57] Fay**
But you prefer to be called Gremoire?
**[11:00] Gremoire**
You may give me a different
name if you'd like.
**[11:03] Fay**
Let me confirm the rules.
**[11:05] Fay**
Nel is going to play you one-on-one
in this game, and if she wins,
**[11:09] Fay**
one of her losses will disappear.
**[11:10] Gremoire**
That's correct. You may
even wager more than one.
**[11:15] Gremoire**
So, is it your win record
that's on the line?
**[11:18] Fay**
Yes.
**[11:19] Fay**
I'm going to bet three of my wins on Nel.
**[11:23] Pearl**
S-Sorry, what?!
**[11:24] Nel**
Please wait a moment, Master Fay!
**[11:26] Nel**
You never mentioned that!
**[11:29] Fay**
Well, I decided last night.
**[11:31] Fay**
If you win, you'll have
three wins and zero losses.
**[11:33] Pearl**
But if she loses, you'll
be in big trouble, Fay!
**[11:36] Pearl**
Dang it! Help me out here, Leshea!
**[11:39] Leshea**
I honestly couldn't care less.
**[11:42] Pearl**
I definitely picked the absolute
worst person to rely on!
**[11:47] Gremoire**
Looks like we have a bet. I'm so happy.
**[11:49] Gremoire**
I don't think any human's
wagered that many wins before.
**[11:57] Nel**
Three wins...
**[12:00] Fay**
Just take it easy.
**[12:02] Nel**
Th-Thank you...
**[12:06] Nel**
Let us battle, Gremoire.
**[12:08] Nel**
Now, show me your game!
**[12:10] Gremoire**
Poker.
**[12:12] Nel**
What?
**[12:13] Gremoire**
You're more accustomed to
human games, are you not?
**[12:21] Gremoire**
I'm in a good mood since you're
my first guest in a while.
**[12:24] Gremoire**
Make sure to use that to your advantage.
**[12:27] Gremoire**
Also, I will now forbid any help or support.
**[12:31] Fay**
All right.
**[12:33] Gremoire**
Then let us begin.
**[12:42] Nel**
I accept your challenge.
**[12:44] Nel**
I cannot lose.
**[12:48] Nel**
*I can't betray Master Fay's trust!*
**[12:55] Gremoire**
Now, you don't have to hold
the cards in your hand.
**[12:58] Gremoire**
I cannot see your cards, nor do I plan to.
**[13:04] Nel**
*I have a pair of fives.*
**[13:06] Nel**
* Now if I can get another five*
* or an even better hand...*
**[13:10] Gremoire**
We will both have five
coins each in this game.
**[13:21] Fay**
*They both swapped out three.*
**[13:22] Fay**
* That means both Nel and Gremoire*
* started off with one pair.*
**[13:26] Fay**
* They swapped out three cards in hopes*
* to get a three of a kind or better.*
**[13:30] Fay**
*That puts Nel at a disadvantage though.*
**[13:33] Leshea**
* Nel has one pair, but it's on the*
* low end since it's a pair of fives.*
**[13:36] Leshea**
* The likelihood that Gremoire has less*
* than a pair of fives is unlikely.*
**[13:43] Nel**
*Two pairs...*
**[13:47] Gremoire**
Now, then... How many coins
to wager? You can go first.
**[13:55] Nel**
I bet one coin.
**[13:59] Gremoire**
I raise. I'm going to bet
all five of my coins.
**[14:04] Nel**
All of them? You're going all in?!
**[14:06] Nel**
*Is she that confident in her hand?*
**[14:11] Gremoire**
Your only options are to accept my
raise and call... or fold this round.
**[14:20] Fay**
*If she calls,*
**[14:22] Fay**
* they'll both have to bet all five coins,*
* and the game will be over.*
**[14:26] Fay**
* If she folds, she can*
* deny that forceful raise.*
**[14:29] Fay**
* She'll lose two coins, but*
* she'll still have three,*
**[14:33] Fay**
*and they'll carry over to the next game.*
**[14:36] Nel**
* Does Gremoire actually have*
* that strong of a hand?*
**[14:40] Nel**
* Or is she just bluffing and*
* trying to get me to fold?*
**[14:48] Pearl**
Nel...
**[14:50] Nel**
* If I win, my three losses will disappear*
* and I'll be able to come back.*
**[14:53] Nel**
*If I can just win here...*
**[14:57] Nel**
No, this is a trap.
**[15:00] Nel**
Did you really think
**[15:01] Nel**
I'd try to settle this game
against a god within a minute?
**[15:05] Nel**
I'm not that much of a simpleton! I fold!
**[15:09] Gremoire**
Oh?
**[15:14] Pearl**
Th-That was close...
**[15:17] Pearl**
Nel's instincts are amazing!
**[15:19] Pearl**
If she called, she would've
lost all of her coins!
**[15:23] Fay**
I'm hoping that was actually
based on instinct...
***SIGN*** Remaining Coins
***SIGN*** Nel: 3 coins
***SIGN*** Gremoire: 7 coins
**[15:28] Nel**
*I have three more left.*
**[15:31] Gremoire**
Let us begin game two.
**[15:38] Nel**
*I have nothing. This is worse than game one.*
**[15:45] Gremoire**
Are you discarding any cards?
**[15:47] Nel**
I'm going to discard four cards.
**[15:52] Nel**
*Ace is the highest card.*
**[15:54] Nel**
* Even if I get the lowest hand, a one pair,*
* I may have a chance with a pair of aces...*
**[15:59] Gremoire**
I'm drawing one.
**[16:02] Nel**
*One?!*
**[16:03] Nel**
* So she's already got a solid*
* hand with her other four cards?*
**[16:06] Nel**
*A possible two pair or three of a kind?*
***SIGN*** Flush
***SIGN*** Straight
***SIGN*** Three of
a kind
***SIGN*** Two pair
**[16:08] Nel**
* Actually, she might've swapped out a card*
* to try to get a flush or a straight.*
**[16:14] Nel**
*Maybe I'll bluff to try to get her to fold...*
**[16:17] Nel**
* But if she has better than a three*
* of a kind, I can't see her folding.*
**[16:23] Nel**
*Well, if I try to go forward with this bluff,*
**[16:27] Nel**
*I'll still have one coin even if I lose.*
**[16:29] Nel**
*I'll be able to get another chance.*
**[16:33] Nel**
I bet one—
**[16:35] Gremoire**
I raise one.
**[16:37] Nel**
*She just raised one on my bet...*
**[16:41] Nel**
* So this god is trying to tell me...*
* to bet all three of my coins.*
**[16:47] Gremoire**
Will you call or fold?
**[16:50] Gremoire**
Now, it's time to make your choice.
**[16:54] Nel**
I fold.
**[16:55] Gremoire**
Too bad.
**[17:00] Gremoire**
You would've won if you just called.
**[17:03] Nel**
You had no hand?!
**[17:05] Nel**
Why did you only discard one?!
**[17:07] Nel**
With your hand, you could've discarded
two cards and gone for a straight.
**[17:10] Nel**
Actually, you could've even
tried for a pair or two pair!
**[17:14] Gremoire**
I don't care how strong or weak my hand is.
**[17:17] Nel**
What?
**[17:18] Gremoire**
Game two went exactly as I expected.
**[17:21] Gremoire**
I figured out that if I forced a
bluff, you will fold, no matter what.
**[17:26] Gremoire**
Because...
**[17:27] Gremoire**
You don't want to win.
**[17:31] Nel**
That's not true...
**[17:32] Gremoire**
No, you don't want to win.
You just don't want to lose.
**[17:36] Gremoire**
What did you say right before our match?
**[17:39] Nel**
Huh?
**[17:41] (Flashback) Nel**
I cannot lose.
**[17:44] Gremoire**
If you truly want to make a comeback,
you should've said, "I'm going to win."
**[17:49] Gremoire**
Now I'm certain.
**[17:51] Gremoire**
Rather than the risks it'd take to win,
**[17:53] Gremoire**
you're more in fear of
losing your friend's wins.
**[17:58] Nel**
Th-That's...
**[17:59] Gremoire**
Did you really think you could
win without taking any risks?
**[18:05] Gremoire**
You only have one coin left.
**[18:08] Gremoire**
You cannot fold anymore.
**[18:12] Nel**
My hand just needs to be higher than yours!
***SIGN*** Remaining Coins
***SIGN*** Nel: 1 coin
***SIGN*** Gremoire: 9 coins
**[18:21] Nel**
* Just one more left... I*
* can't let this end yet.*
**[18:24] Pearl**
Please... let her have a strong hand...
**[18:28] Nel**
*I've got nothing...*
**[18:30] Nel**
* But if I can draw a three or an eight,*
* I'll be able to get a straight.*
**[18:35] Nel**
I'm discarding one card.
**[18:37] Gremoire**
Hm...
**[18:38] Gremoire**
If you're discarding one, then you
must have at least a two pair or more.
**[18:41] Gremoire**
Perhaps a full house? Or
maybe a flush or a straight.
**[18:46] Gremoire**
But you see, human... powerful
hands aren't so easy to get.
**[18:51] Gremoire**
That's why they're powerful.
**[18:53] Nel**
Then I'm just going to have to make it happen.
**[18:56] Nel**
If I don't draw the right card here, I'm...
**[18:58] Gremoire**
You can't.
**[19:00] Gremoire**
The gods only smile upon
those who create miracles.
**[19:04] Gremoire**
You've been pushed into a corner
**[19:06] Gremoire**
so you're just hoping for a
miracle to turn the tables.
**[19:10] Gremoire**
The gods will not smile upon you.
**[19:13] Nel**
That's not true! I—
**[19:18] Nel**
No...
**[19:20] Nel**
It's not over yet! Depending on your hand—
**[19:23] Gremoire**
Three of a kind.
**[19:28] Gremoire**
Your strategy should've been to
steal victory, not to avoid a loss.
**[19:34] Gremoire**
The one who should've gone forward with a
one-card bluff in the last game was you.
**[19:40] Gremoire**
How dull.
**[19:42] Gremoire**
You're far too weak.
**[19:44] Gremoire**
You had at least three
opportunities this match.
**[19:48] Gremoire**
The desperate round, the frustrated
round, and the reckless round...
**[19:54] Gremoire**
You're the one who ruined it.
**[20:00] Pearl**
Nel!
**[20:02] Gremoire**
I had high hopes because this was the
first human to challenge me in ages,
**[20:06] Gremoire**
and she was lent her friend's wins.
**[20:08] Gremoire**
That's why she can't lose
and can't take any risks.
**[20:12] Gremoire**
You couldn't be more obvious.
**[20:15] Gremoire**
Her loss cannot be reversed.
**[20:18] Gremoire**
I will be taking all three
of your wins that you bet.
**[20:27] Gremoire**
How truly disappointing.
**[20:28] Gremoire**
I thought I would be able to play a fun game.
**[20:31] Gremoire**
Go home, humans.
**[20:35] Fay**
Hold it.
**[20:36] Fay**
The game has just begun.
**[20:39] Gremoire**
What are you talking about?
**[20:41] Fay**
I'm telling you that this
is all according to plan.
**[20:45] Fay**
Bookmaker...
**[20:46] Fay**
No, Gremoire.
**[20:48] Fay**
I win this game.
**[20:50] Gremoire**
What?
**[20:51] Fay**
I was certain I'd win as soon as you
accepted this game... no matter how it went.
**[20:58] Fay**
Remember, Nel? I told you to take it easy.
**[21:01] Nel**
Huh?
**[21:02] Fay**
Okay, it's time to switch.
I'll play you next.
**[21:06] Fay**
We can check our results after.
**[21:10] Fay**
You want to know why I'm
declaring victory, don't you?
**[21:13] Fay**
Well, I'll tell you.
**[21:15] Nel**
Master Fay...?
**[21:17] Fay**
You've been supporting me this whole time.
**[21:19] Fay**
I decided I had to repay you for that.
**[21:23] Fay**
You haven't had enough games yet, have you?
**[21:26] Fay**
I'm going to bet on my remaining three wins.
**[21:31] Fay**
If I win, I'm going to have
you retract Nel's defeat.
**[21:35] Gremoire**
Very well.
**[21:36] Gremoire**
I've decided, human.
**[21:37] Fay**
So you'll play with me?
**[21:39] Gremoire**
No.
**[21:40] Gremoire**
I've decided the game.
**[21:47] Fay**
Wha—
**[21:48] Nel**
Wh-What's going on?
**[21:55] Pearl**
Wh-What is this world?
**[22:00] Gremoire**
Welcome to the Casino of the Gods.
**[22:02] Gremoire**
The name of the game is "The Three Cheats."
**[22:05] Gremoire**
Let's see if you can see through the three
godly cheats I'm going to use against you.

**[00:05] Gremoire**
This Elements changes form based on the
heart of the human that challenges me.
**[00:11] Gremoire**
This is the first time the Casino
of the Gods has been projected.
**[00:16] Fay**
Are you Gremoire?
**[00:18] Gremoire**
Correct. As soon as a human arrives,
I analyze them physically, mentally,
**[00:23] Gremoire**
as well as their Arise, but I couldn't
get enough information from you.
**[00:29] Fay**
I'm pretty surprised by your appearance.
**[00:32] Gremoire**
I chose this form from one of the
humans I recently transformed into.
**[00:36] Gremoire**
Now, then. The game is The Three Cheats.
**[00:40] Gremoire**
Coin flip.

**[00:52] Fay**
So you're going to cheat.
**[00:55] Gremoire**
Yes. To win, you'll have to see
through my Cheat of Certain Victory.
**[01:00] Gremoire**
Oh, and here is a very important promise.
**[01:02] Gremoire**
I will only use one kind of cheat.
**[01:07] Fay**
Oh? That sounds interesting.
**[01:09] Gremoire**
I'm going to tell your friends
my cheat before we start.
**[01:14] Gremoire**
If we're all satisfied
with that, let us begin.
**[01:18] Leshea**
Well, you seem confident.
Fine, let's hear it.
**[01:26] Gremoire**
My cheat is...
**[01:32] Pearl**
H-Hey!
**[01:32] Nel**
W-Wait, wait!
**[01:33] Leshea**
What the heck?!
**[01:36] Leshea**
That's great. We believe in Fay, right?
**[01:39] Pearl**
I'm sure he'll see through it.
**[01:41] Nel**
I believe in you.
**[01:44] Leshea**
So, yeah. Do your best.
**[01:46] Gremoire**
Can you see through the three cheats
this god is going to bring forth?
**[01:53] Fay**
I'm in.

**[03:38] Gremoire**
All right. Let us begin our
first game, the coin flip.
**[03:43] Gremoire**
Choose your coin.
**[03:45] Fay**
All right. I choose the
black and white coin.
**[03:55] Fay**
Am I tossing the coin, or are you?
**[03:58] Gremoire**
To be fair, I'm going to have your friends
be the dealer in all three games.
**[04:03] Gremoire**
You're first.
**[04:07] Nel**
I really don't want to do this, but
all right. I will be the dealer.
**[04:15] Fay**
What are you doing?
**[04:16] Nel**
I'm supposed to toss the coin/chip.
**[04:18] Nel**
I can toss it better by kicking it.
**[04:21] Nel**
My Arise involves my legs, so
I'm always practicing my kicks.
**[04:25] Fay**
I see.
**[04:27] Nel**
Master Fay's face, the white
side, is heads. Black is tails.
**[04:31] Nel**
We'll go in this order.
**[04:32] Nel**
I'll kick the coin into the air.
***SIGN*** ①Kick the coin into the air.
***SIGN*** ②While the coin is in the air, call heads or tails.
**[04:34] Nel**
While the coin is in the air,
you'll call heads or tails, Master Fay.
***SIGN*** ③After it's called, kick it up once more for
fairness.
**[04:39] Nel**
After you call it, I will kick
it up one more time to be fair.
**[04:43] Nel**
When it hits the ground,
that'll be the result.
**[04:46] Nel**
Okay, here we go, Master Fay.
**[04:52] Fay**
* She won't be able to do any blatant trick*
* to the coin once it's up in the air,*
**[04:55] Fay**
*and I get to call heads or tails.*
**[04:58] Fay**
* So the cheat must be to not let me*
* choose heads or tails correctly.*
**[05:04] Fay**
Heads.
**[05:11] Nel**
It's tails. I'm sorry, Master Fay.
**[05:14] Fay**
You don't need to apologize, Nel.
**[05:16] Fay**
*I didn't notice any unnatural movements.*
**[05:19] Fay**
*Considering my one-in-two odds,*
**[05:20] Fay**
*it looks like I coincidentally lost...*
**[05:22] Fay**
*but the Cheat of Certain Victory exists.*
**[05:26] Fay**
Okay, let's move on to the next game.
**[05:29] Gremoire**
Well, aren't you in a
hurry... Are you panicking?
**[05:33] Fay**
Well, Chief Secretary Miranda
is awaiting our return.
**[05:37] Gremoire**
All right. In this game of poker,
we won't be using any coins.
**[05:41] Gremoire**
We'll be able to swap cards just once
from the original hand we're dealt.
**[05:45] Gremoire**
Then we'll determine a winner.
**[05:47] Fay**
So it'll be completely based on luck.
**[05:49] Gremoire**
You mean Certain Victory. That's
the name of the cheat, after all.
**[05:52] Gremoire**
The dealer will be...
**[05:53] Leshea**
Me!
**[05:57] Leshea**
Looks like all the cards are here. Doesn't
look like any of the cards are tagged, either.
**[06:02] Fay**
* She's using the same*
* cheat in all three games.*
**[06:05] Fay**
* If there was a trick to*
* the coin in the last game,*
**[06:07] Fay**
* that means this game, the cards*
* will have the same trick.*
**[06:09] Fay**
* But considering Leshea*
* hasn't spotted anything,*
**[06:12] Fay**
* the possibility that the god's power*
* has influenced the cards is low.*
**[06:19] Fay**
* Two pairs... and one of them is*
* of the highest card, the ace.*
**[06:23] Fay**
* If I swap out this seven and*
* happen to get an eight or an ace,*
**[06:26] Fay**
* I'll almost certify my*
* victory with a full house.*
**[06:30] Gremoire**
How's your hand? I hope
you got good cards.
**[06:34] Fay**
Who gets to swap out their cards first?
**[06:37] Gremoire**
Either one of us.
**[06:38] Fay**
Then I'll swap mine out first.
**[06:41] Fay**
I'm swapping out my hand.
**[06:43] Nel**
Wh-What are you doing, Master Fay?
**[06:45] Pearl**
Yeah! I mean... didn't
you have two pairs?
**[06:49] Fay**
If I only swapped out one card, the rest
of that deck would be available to the god.
**[06:54] Fay**
I'm swapping out all my cards
to see if the cheat is there.
**[06:58] Leshea**
Okay, I'm dealing you your cards.
**[07:03] Fay**
One pair.
**[07:04] Fay**
There was no obvious bias in the deck.
**[07:07] Fay**
Are you swapping any cards?
**[07:11] Gremoire**
A straight flush.
**[07:13] Fay**
*This is too blatant.*
**[07:15] Fay**
*All right,*
**[07:16] Fay**
* I need to figure out the cheat that she*
* used in both the coin flip and poker.*
**[07:20] Fay**
*Did she somehow control the coin itself?*
**[07:22] Fay**
*No, that wouldn't explain the straight flush.*
**[07:26] Gremoire**
Let us proceed to the final game, old maid.
**[07:31] Leshea**
Okay, off you go!
**[07:40] Pearl**
I'm too nervous!
**[07:42] Fay**
* It doesn't look like there are any tricks*
* on either side of any of the cards.*
**[07:45] Pearl**
The hands are huge at 27 and 26 cards, but
please move your pairs off to the side.
**[07:52] Fay**
*Twenty-seven...*
**[07:54] Fay**
*So I get an extra card.*
**[08:05] Gremoire**
Since you have more cards,
I'll let you choose our order.
**[08:11] Fay**
The end card on my left.
**[08:16] Gremoire**
All right, it's my turn.
By the way, human...
**[08:20] Pearl**
Yes?!
**[08:21] Gremoire**
Why are you trying to leave?
**[08:23] Gremoire**
You want this human to win, don't
you? I'll do you a huge favor.
**[08:28] Gremoire**
You can stand right behind me
to ensure that I don't cheat.
**[08:31] Pearl**
Huh?!
**[08:33] Fay**
What brought this on?
**[08:35] Gremoire**
It's my style to choose games that are fair.
**[08:38] Gremoire**
Do any of my cards seem out of the ordinary?
**[08:42] Pearl**
No. I don't see anything
wrong with the cards.
**[08:46] Gremoire**
It's my turn to pick a card, isn't it?
**[08:49] Fay**
*Well, this was unexpected.*
**[08:52] Fay**
* I thought her cheat might be to*
* avoid my joker completely but...*
**[08:55] Fay**
* Is this coincidence, or did*
* she purposely choose it?*
**[08:58] Gremoire**
As you know, I now have the joker.
Now, it's your turn to pick.
**[09:03] Fay**
Okay, the left.
**[09:07] Gremoire**
Now, it's my turn.
**[09:13] Fay**
*I totally have the advantage.*
**[09:15] Fay**
* If I get a three or a nine here, I win.*
* The chances of me winning are 66.6%.*
**[09:20] Fay**
*As long as I don't pull the joker...*
**[09:24] Fay**
I'll take the right.
**[09:29] Fay**
* Did she make me pull it? Unless*
* she's using precognition,*
**[09:32] Fay**
* she wouldn't have been*
* able to place it there.*
**[09:33] Fay**
* But that wouldn't give her certain*
* victory in the coin flip or poker.*
**[09:38] Gremoire**
I'll also choose the right.
**[09:42] Gremoire**
All right. Next, you'll
take this card, and I win.
**[09:47] Gremoire**
As promised, I won all three games.
**[09:51] Gremoire**
Now, tell me your answer.
**[09:54] Gremoire**
Tell me what my cheat is.
**[09:58] Fay**
*I'm dealing with a god.*
**[10:01] Fay**
*She can do anything.*
**[10:06] (Flashback) Pearl**
H-Hey!
**[10:07] (Flashback) Leshea**
What the heck?!
**[10:09] Fay**
* But would these three agree to a cheat*
* that's impossible for a human to deal with?*
**[10:14] Fay**
* There's one other thing... the*
* strangeness I felt during old maid.*
**[10:21] Fay**
*The god didn't see through my joker.*
**[10:24] Fay**
* This cheat should be solid, but in*
* that moment, she showed her weakness.*
**[10:28] Fay**
* Remember everything that*
* happened in that game.*
**[10:41] Fay**
Let's play one more time.
**[10:43] Fay**
I'll get my revenge in old maid.
**[10:45] Fay**
Pearl, deal us the cards one more time.
**[10:48] Gremoire**
If you're trying to buy some time because
you were unable to see through the cheat...
**[10:52] Fay**
No.
**[10:53] Fay**
I'm going to break through your
Certain Victory in this next game.
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[11:04] Fay**
Do you mind if I go first again
since I have more cards?
**[11:08] Gremoire**
Go right ahead.
**[11:09] Fay**
The very left.
**[11:14] Gremoire**
The second from the right.
**[11:22] Gremoire**
What's the matter?
**[11:24] Gremoire**
You're staring so hard.
**[11:27] Fay**
The right.
**[11:31] Gremoire**
Then I choose this one.
**[11:36] Gremoire**
Oh, that's too bad.
**[11:38] Gremoire**
Do you think you're lucky?
**[11:40] Gremoire**
If you take my five, it
looks like you might win,
**[11:44] Gremoire**
but the result will be the
same as the last game.
**[11:48] Gremoire**
You'll be drawing the joker.
**[11:50] Fay**
No, your Certain Victory's been shattered.
**[11:54] Fay**
It's time to review our answers.
**[11:56] Fay**
Right!
**[12:00] Gremoire**
My cheat is still in effect. You should've
chosen the joker no matter what!
**[12:05] Pearl**
Fay.
**[12:06] Fay**
That must've been rough.
**[12:09] Fay**
The cheat is based on our accomplices.
The ones we had on our side.
**[12:15] Fay**
This was a game of four versus
one. But you weren't the one.
**[12:19] Fay**
I was the one.
**[12:21] Fay**
Right, Leshea?
**[12:22] Leshea**
Yup! I knew you'd figure it out.
**[12:26] Leshea**
Were Nel and Pearl that obvious?
**[12:28] Pearl**
Th-This wasn't my fault.
**[12:31] Gremoire**
How did you figure it out?
**[12:33] Fay**
You drew the joker.
**[12:35] Fay**
At that point, I was able to figure out
**[12:37] Fay**
that the only way you'd achieve certain
victory is by having me draw the joker.
**[12:41] Fay**
Which means, this cheat only works
when the joker is in the god's hands.
**[12:46] Leshea**
In other words, the god
can't cheat with Fay's hand.
**[12:50] Fay**
Yeah. And this is where the other
strangeness I felt became the key.
**[12:55] Fay**
Pearl, why did I get 27 cards?
**[12:58] Pearl**
Huh?
**[12:59] (Flashback) Pearl**
The hands are huge at 27 and 26 cards...
**[13:03] Fay**
I had the extra card, making my hand 27.
**[13:07] Fay**
Both times, I should've been at
a disadvantage with that hand.
**[13:11] Fay**
That's the first time I doubted
my friends and realized...
**[13:15] Fay**
Pearl was standing behind
the god the whole time.
**[13:18] Fay**
Yes... to make it look like she was
just keeping an eye on the cards.
**[13:21] Fay**
But it was for the sake of
using an Arise to switch cards.
**[13:24] Fay**
As soon as I drew the card, it got swapped
out with the joker with Shift Change.
**[13:29] Fay**
If my hypothesis goes as
planned, the rest is easy.
**[13:32] Fay**
In the coin flip and poker, the ones
who were cheating were Nel and Leshea.
**[13:36] Fay**
But I'm impressed.
**[13:38] Fay**
You were already hinting at the trick
from the beginning in your explanation.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Gremoire**
As soon as a human arrives,
**[13:45] (Flashback) Gremoire**
I analyze them physically, mentally,
as well as their Arise...
**[13:50] Fay**
You already knew about Pearl
and Nel's abilities...
**[13:53] Fay**
So you told them to help you cheat back then.
**[13:57] Nel**
I'm so sorry. This cheat is outrageous,
but I used my Arise to control the flip.
**[14:05] Fay**
Yeah. At that moment, Nel
used her Moment Reversal,
**[14:09] Fay**
to make sure the coin
would come up tails.
**[14:12] Nel**
I-I'm so sorry.
**[14:14] Fay**
Leshea's doesn't need explanation
so we can skim past it.
**[14:17] Leshea**
Why though?!
**[14:18] Fay**
I mean, there's nothing
actually behind the poker game.
**[14:20] Fay**
You were the one dealing
the cards, right?
**[14:23] Leshea**
I can get a straight flush on my first
hand in poker even with my eyes closed!
**[14:28] Fay**
Well, Gremoire?
**[14:29] Gremoire**
That final game of old maid
is not sitting well with me.
**[14:32] Gremoire**
Even if you saw through the cheat, it
should've been impossible for you to win.
**[14:37] Fay**
Of course. Normally, you wouldn't be
able to stop Pearl's Shift Change.
**[14:43] Gremoire**
You broke the rules?
**[14:44] Gremoire**
You purposely didn't use
your Arise, didn't you?
**[14:47] Fay**
No. She couldn't activate it.
**[14:49] Gremoire**
What?
**[14:51] (Flashback) Pearl**
I can't usually swap things unless
I've touched them in the last three minutes.
**[14:55] Fay**
It'd been three minutes
since she dealt the cards.
**[14:58] Fay**
Therefore, she couldn't
activate her Shift Change.
**[15:02] Pearl**
Yes, that's correct.
**[15:05] Gremoire**
You were buying time.
**[15:06] Gremoire**
Her watching over me was a bluff.
**[15:08] Gremoire**
But then, we were on even ground.
**[15:10] Gremoire**
So you were only able to
draw that five by pure luck.
**[15:13] Fay**
Not exactly.
**[15:14] Fay**
You didn't change the position
of your joker, did you?
**[15:19] Fay**
Normally, you'd shuffle
if you got the joker,
**[15:22] Fay**
but you didn't.
**[15:26] Fay**
Because you overestimated her Shift Change.
**[15:33] Gremoire**
I'm surprised. I lose.
**[15:36] Gremoire**
Here's the prize I promised you.
**[15:40] Nel**
Huh?
**[15:44] Gremoire**
Okay, all done.
**[15:47] Nel**
D-Does this mean I made
my comeback to the games?
**[15:51] Gremoire**
There's one more answer I'd like to review.
**[15:54] Gremoire**
You said this was "all according to plan,"
**[15:57] Gremoire**
and you were certain you'd
win no matter how it went.
**[16:01] Fay**
Everyone, put up your right hands.
**[16:07] Gremoire**
You all have the same number?
**[16:08] Fay**
Yeah. We adjusted our victories.
**[16:12] Fay**
We made it so we all had three victories.
**[16:15] Gremoire**
Why would you do that?
**[16:17] Fay**
I want my whole team to get ten
victories at the same time.
**[16:20] Fay**
We're a team, so we have the same goal.
**[16:22] Leshea**
If Nel won, it would've been a bonus.
**[16:24] Fay**
Even if she lost, we were
able to get enough victories.
**[16:29] Gremoire**
I see. This was fun.
**[16:32] Gremoire**
I'm all for you Clearing the gods'
games, but come see me again sometime.

Board games are best played
with four players.
**[16:55] Leshea**
It's the perfect number.
**[16:56] Pearl**
Eating our meals together with the four of us
**[16:58] Pearl**
will make us feel even more like a team, too.
**[17:01] Nel**
I'm glad that you're welcoming
me, but Master Fay,
**[17:03] Nel**
don't you need to contact
the chief secretary?
**[17:06] Fay**
She seems a bit busy.
**[17:08] Pearl**
That just won't do! We have
to report that Nel's back!
**[17:11] Leshea**
Oh, yeah. She actually contacted me because
she had something urgent to tell us.
***SIGN*** In a meeting
**[17:18] Leshea**

**[17:22] Subordinate**

**[17:25] Leshea**
Let's go in.
**[17:29] Miranda**
You four...
**[17:31] Miranda**
This is bad.
***SIGN*** Urgent Matter: Escape the

**[17:33] Miranda**
Over 200 apostles were forcefully
gathered into a giant labyrinth,
**[17:38] Miranda**
and even after 57 hours,
none of them have returned.
**[17:41] Fay**
You mean it's impossible to return?
**[17:43] Miranda**
That's why HQ immediately
put together a rescue squad.
**[17:48] Miranda**
From the Ruin branch, your
team's been chosen, Fay.
**[17:51] Pearl**
Once you lose, you usually come
back to the real world, don't you?
**[17:56] Miranda**
Apparently in this game, you can
challenge over and over again.
**[18:00] Pearl**
Huh?
**[18:01] Miranda**
You can keep dying, but you'll have
to start from the beginning each time.
**[18:05] Miranda**
Meaning, you have to start
at the respawn point.
**[18:08] Nel**
But doesn't that method certify
that the human side will win?
**[18:12] Nel**
If you can keep retrying, you'll be
able to leave that labyrinth someday.
**[18:15] Miranda**
This infinite respawn isn't a
privilege. It's an obligation.
**[18:20] Fay**
So you're saying that until they
clear this incredibly difficult game,
**[18:23] Fay**
they can't return to the real world.
**[18:25] Miranda**
There are two ways to rescue them.
**[18:27] Miranda**
The first is to clear the game.
**[18:29] Miranda**
The second is to find a certain
save item in the labyrinth.
**[18:34] Miranda**
Everyone who disappeared
**[18:35] Miranda**
hasn't been able to do that, so
they haven't been able to return.
**[18:38] Fay**
That's interesting. This is completely
different from all the games we've played.
**[18:42] Miranda**
You mean the infinite respawn?
**[18:44] Fay**
No. I mean the forced participation
from people around the world.
**[18:49] Leshea**
That’s true. I don't remember there
ever being a game where apostles
**[18:52] Leshea**
from all around the world were
forced into a single game.
**[18:55] Fay**
*I want to find out what this god is after.*
**[18:58] Fay**
*If we don't, there's a possibility*
**[19:00] Fay**
* these games where people are forced*
* to play might keep happening.*
**[19:03] Miranda**
Anyway, the first priority
is to find this save item.
**[19:08] Miranda**
We need to save the ones
stranded in that game first.
**[19:10] Fay**
Right.

This is unlike anything we've faced before.
**[19:28] Miranda**
Fay, I'm sorry to have you do this
right after facing the Bookmaker.
**[19:32] Fay**
I'm just going to do what I usually do.
**[19:34] Fay**
I'm going to play a game with a god.
**[19:46] Fay**
The difficulty setting...
PMD means "player must die."
***SIGN*** Please choose your

***SIGN*** ①Almost Merciful ②PMD
***SIGN*** PMD

**[19:51] Pearl**
Sorry, what?
**[19:52] Fay**
You might as well die. Meaning we have to
choose between an almost-merciful easy mode
**[19:57] Fay**
or an ultra-hard mode that'll try to kill us.
**[20:00] Pearl**
That's a bit too extreme!
Obviously, I choose this one.
**[20:04] Nel**
Me too!
**[20:07] Pearl**
Wait, what are you doing?!
**[20:10] Fay**
I'm definitely picking this one.
**[20:12] Leshea**
Yup, yup.
**[20:13] Pearl**
But we might not be able to
return to the real world!
**[20:16] Fay**
The ending might change
depending on the difficulty.
**[20:19] Nel and Pearl**
What?!
**[20:19] Fay**
There's a possibility that the only way
**[20:22] Fay**
to get back to the real
world is in hard mode.
**[20:25] Fay**
So I want to find out.
**[20:27] Meep**
*You have chosen your difficulty.*
**[20:30] Meep**
*Welcome to your adventure.*
**[20:32] Meep**
* Let us begin this epic*
* exploration of the labyrinth.*
**[20:36] Pearl**
Huh? What's this number?
**[20:39] Nel**
It instantly disappeared. Does it
show the number of our respawns?
**[20:56] Nel**
It's so peaceful. Are we
really inside the labyrinth?
**[21:00] Pearl**
No, we can't let our guard down!
**[21:02] Pearl**
I'm sure it just looks peaceful,
but there're traps everywhere!
**[21:09] Pearl**
It would be so much fun to
have lunch under those trees!
**[21:13] Pearl**
I should've brought some sandwiches with me.
**[21:16] Leshea**
You already let your guard down.
**[21:18] Pearl**
But it really *is* peaceful!
**[21:21] Fay**
Well... we have a long road ahead of us,
**[21:23] Fay**
so it wouldn't hurt to take a short
break to plan out our strategy.
**[21:26] Pearl**
I agree!
**[21:29] Pearl**
Wow, what a yummy looking apple!
**[21:32] Nel**
Is it an apple? I guess it would
be too big to be a cherry.
**[21:36] Pearl**
Who cares about the small details?
**[21:38] Pearl**
Considering how red it is, it's
definitely going to be sweet and yummy!
**[21:42] Fay**
Look out!
**[21:48] Meep**
*Respawn.*
**[21:52] Leshea**
Pearl...
**[21:53] Pearl**
That was somehow my fault?!
**[21:55] Nel**
I see... so that's how this game works.
**[21:58] Fay**
This is definitely gonna take a while.
**[22:04] Gremoire**
Aw... I'm going to be bored again.
**[22:07] Gremoire**
I wonder how many decades it'll
be until the next human shows up.
**[22:15] Gremoire**
Well, this is a rather rare guest.
**[22:18] Gremoire**
You're always cooped up in your own world.
**[22:22] Gremoire**
What brought this on, Uroboros?
**[22:26] Uroboros**
Where'd the humans from earlier go?

**[00:08] Pearl**
I'm not scared of a mere apple anymore!
**[00:13] Pearl**
Hmph! You fool! I won't keep falling
for the same trap over and over again!
**[00:19] Fay**
Yeah, you say that, but...
**[00:28] Fay**
The apples have won nine times already.
**[00:30] Pearl**
Well, I'm fine now! Let's go, everyone!
**[00:33] Fay**
Pearl, look out!
**[00:40] Meep**
Respawn.
**[00:42] Pearl**
How does an apple fly up?! Whatever
happened to the laws of gravity?!
**[00:51] Nel**
Stop!
**[00:55] Pearl**
Well, this definitely seems dangerous.
**[00:58] Nel**
It seems like something
is gonna jump out of this.
**[01:04] Leshea**
There's nothing here though.
**[01:06] Fay**
Killer apples that look completely
harmless and a giant,
**[01:09] Fay**
ominous hole that's actually nothing.
**[01:13] Fay**
They're definitely trying
to mess with our heads.
**[01:17] Fay**
All right, let's go...
**[01:18] Fay**
Onward to the Escape the
Labyrinth of No Return Game.

**[02:57] Meep**
That ends the tutorial. Well done.
**[03:00] Meep**
I am your guide Meep.
**[03:04] Meep**
Did you get a good feel
of how this game works?
**[03:08] Pearl**
Yes, we certainly did.
**[03:10] Nel**
So this is where the real labyrinth begins?
**[03:12] Meep**
Yes. This is the god's labyrinth Luceimia.
**[03:16] Meep**
You've all experienced a respawn already,
**[03:20] Meep**
but no matter how many times your whole
party falls, you'll get to start here again.
**[03:24] Meep**
You will be able to clear this
game if you beat the boss in the
**[03:27] Meep**
deepest depths of the labyrinth.
**[03:29] Meep**
The labyrinth is filled with various monsters
**[03:32] Meep**
as well as plenty of gimmicks and traps.
**[03:35] Meep**
You'll need items to conquer this labyrinth.
**[03:38] Meep**
If you mix two or more together, you'll
be able to craft a superior item.
**[03:46] Meep**
Please note that you'll only
be able to possess two at most.
**[03:49] Meep**
If one of your team members is pronounced
dead, you will have to respawn.
**[03:53] Meep**
You will lose the items you had.
All of the bosses you've defeated
***SIGN*** Respawn
**[03:57] Meep**
and all of the traps you've
conquered will be reset.
**[03:59] Pearl**
So we have to start over every time we die?
**[04:02] Meep**
Oh, no!
**[04:03] Meep**
The knowledge you gain from this labyrinth
will be carried over each time.
**[04:07] Meep**
The numbers above your
heads will also remain.
**[04:12] Meep**
That number will increase
towards 100% every time you
***SIGN***
**[04:16] Meep**
conquer the gimmicks within this labyrinth.
**[04:18] Meep**
Clearly, for the most hardcore gamers only.
**[04:21] Meep**
Now, do you have any questions?
**[04:23] Fay**
Please tell us how to go home.
**[04:25] Meep**
Yes.
**[04:26] Meep**
The first way is to defeat
the boss and clear the game.
**[04:30] Meep**
Another way is to acquire the save item.
**[04:32] Meep**
You'll be able to go back to the
human world while maintaining
**[04:35] Meep**
all the gimmicks you've
conquered and items obtained.
**[04:37] Pearl**
Do you have any other information?
**[04:40] Meep**
I will now tell you about the
legend of this labyrinth.
**[04:46] Meep**
Once upon a time, there was a god who was
very passionate about building labyrinths.
**[04:51] Meep**
They had long awaited in
the depths of the labyrinth
**[04:53] Meep**
in excitement for humans to visit.
**[04:56] Meep**
But no one conquered the labyrinth, and
so the god literally died of boredom.
**[05:04] Meep**
The end.
**[05:05] Pearl**
They actually died?! Even
though they're a god?!
**[05:08] Meep**
Yes, but... as you can see, the god's
brilliant dungeon still stands.
**[05:14] Meep**
Please enjoy this game
to your heart's content.
**[05:18] Meep**
Now, let your epic adventure
into Luceimia Labyrinth begin!

**[05:30] Leshea**
Wow, it's so pretty.
**[05:32] Leshea**
You can definitely tell the
god really loved labyrinths.
**[05:36] Pearl**
There don't seem to be any traps.
**[05:45] Pearl**
Those are Puffy Puffs!
**[05:47] Nel**
You know what they are?
**[05:48] Pearl**
No! But their cute cries
and precious appearances!
**[05:52] Pearl**
How could I name them
anything but Puffy Puffs?
**[06:03] Pearl**
S-Stop... huh?
**[06:06] Pearl**
Maybe it doesn't hurt.
**[06:13] Nel**
They're soft as cushions.
**[06:23] Pearl**
Huh? What's this?
***SIGN*** Craft

**[06:25] Pearl**
Let us proceed.
**[06:33] Pearl**
Wow, I was able to make a wooden shield!
**[06:36] Fay**
Looks like our unlock
percentage went up too.
**[06:38] Fay**
I guess crafting is one
of this game's gimmicks.
**[06:42] Fay**
Someone definitely spent a
lot of time on this.
**[06:47] Pearl**
This seems like a cinch.
**[06:49] Nel**
We are getting through pretty smoothly.
**[06:54] Leshea**
Now we have a rare version?!
**[06:56] Leshea**
Catch it, Pearl! It's bound
to have an amazing item!
**[07:00] Pearl**
Roger!
**[07:01] Pearl**
Come, now. I'm not scary at all.
**[07:04] Pearl**
I'll give you pets.
**[07:10] Pearl**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Fay's party
has fallen.
***SIGN*** Golden Puffy
Puff's Godbreath
dealt the entire
party 9999

**[07:19] Meep**
Now, let your epic adventure begin!
**[07:23] Pearl**
Say what?
**[07:24] Fay**
Ah, I see.
**[07:26] Leshea**
Right. This is how this game is.
**[07:28] Nel**
Unfortunate.
**[07:30] Fay**
So we're clearly meant to
die the first time around.
**[07:32] Fay**
This game is basically the ultimate dungeon
you get better at the more you die.
**[07:35] Leshea**
I felt a weird sense of
lethargy as we were walking.
**[07:39] Leshea**
Since we chose the PMD difficulty,
I guess there's a cap on our strength.
**[07:44] Fay**
What's more, that just
destroyed the Godeye lens.
**[07:47] Fay**
Now we're just more
players who can't return.
**[07:51] Pearl**
We went for wool and came back shorn!
**[07:54] Fay**
We really need to conquer
this as soon as possible.
**[07:56] Fay**
Let's start our second round.
**[07:58] Leshea**
I have a feeling that Golden
Puffy Puff is a level boss.
**[08:02] Leshea**
Meaning we actually need
to defeat it to proceed?
**[08:05] Fay**
And how do we do that?
**[08:07] Leshea**
Let's see...
**[08:10] Leshea**
We'll take the brown Puffy
Puffs alive as hostages.
**[08:18] Leshea**
And then we make them admit defeat!
**[08:21] Fay**
Well, that's definitely unique.
**[08:23] Nel**
Please stay back, you three.
**[08:28] Pearl**
It's here!
**[08:37] Nel**
Moment Reversal!
**[08:39] Nel**
Right back at ya!
**[08:57] Pearl**
This is a key! It's bound to
open a door somewhere.
**[09:02] Pearl**
Well done, Nel!
**[09:05] Nel**
I just did the obvious.
**[09:07] Nel**
Don't worry. Let me lead.
**[09:12] Meep**
Now, let your epic adventure begin!
**[09:18] Nel**
I'm so sorry!
**[09:20] Fay**
This game loves to get
you right where it hurts.
**[09:24] Leshea**
We let our guard down
after defeating that boss.
**[09:26] Fay**
Say, Meep. We just defeated
a Golden Puffy Puff.
**[09:30] Fay**
Since we respawned...
**[09:31] Meep**
All monsters and traps you've
conquered are reset as well.
**[09:35] Nel**
I'm so sorry!
**[09:37] Pearl**
N-Nel, it's okay!
**[09:40] Fay**
*So basically,*
**[09:40] Pearl**
I mean I've died 10 times...
**[09:41] Fay**
* this game is looking for us to have a*
* flawless run until the last boss.*
**[09:43] Nel**
But, but...
**[09:46] Fay**
All right. Let's just promise one thing.
**[09:49] Fay**
The worst thing we can do in this game
**[09:51] Fay**
is hurt our friends by
faulting their mistakes.
**[09:54] Fay**
Even if one of us fails, just
say, "Don't worry about it."
**[09:58] Fay**
We can just turn any mistake into experience.
**[10:01] Fay**
Anyway, let's go.
**[10:03] Fay**
We're gonna have to make plenty of mistakes
**[10:05] Fay**
to clear the game
without making any.

**[10:16] Al**
My arise isn't working!
**[10:17] Rag**
No items either.
**[10:19] Camilla**
How the heck are we supposed
to defeat this thing?!
**[10:23] Pearl**
Ta-dah! I've crafted a mirror shield.
**[10:28] Pearl**
But what would we even use this for?
**[10:30] Fay**
A mirror...
**[10:32] Fay**
Maybe we can reflect the attack of some
monster that casts magic from its eyes.
**[10:36] Pearl**
Would something that
specific appear so easily?
**[10:39] Pearl**
So what did you make, Fay?
**[10:42] Fay**
An alarm clock.
**[10:44] Pearl**
Uh-huh... And what's that do?
**[10:47] Fay**
It rings really loud. All the monsters
sleeping nearby will come to attack us.
***SIGN*** "Alarm Clock"
***SIGN*** It rings really loud
***SIGN*** All nearby sleeping monsters attack
**[10:52] Pearl**
We can't possibly use something like that!
**[10:54] Fay**
Well, let's just hang on to it anyway.
**[10:57] Leshea**
My bugle will be able to wake up
even more monsters in a wider area!
**[11:02] Leshea**
Let me just give a try—
**[11:03] Pearl**
Please do not!
**[11:07] Nel**
I created an ordinary umbrella with
some wooden boards and vinyl.
***SIGN*** "Ordinary Umbrella"
***SIGN*** Try using during rain or snow
**[11:11] Nel**
I crafted it in hopes for some hidden effect,
**[11:13] Nel**
but apparently it's just
a plain ol' umbrella.
**[11:16] Fay**
Hang on to it.
**[11:26] Pearl**
Are those monsters?
**[11:28] Fay**
Shh. Those are human footsteps.
**[11:33] Saki**
Captain Ashlan, I heard voices.
**[11:35] Ashlan**
Don't let your guard down. This
place is filled with traps.
**[11:39] Fay**
Ashlan?
**[11:42] Ashlan**
Do my eyes deceive me? Fay's
standing right in front of me...
**[11:46] Ashlan**
Is it some monster taking on his appearance?
**[11:48] Fay**
I'm the real one.
**[11:50] Ashlan**
You are?!
**[11:52] Ashlan**
I guess it's been a while.
**[11:54] Fay**
I'm glad to see you.
**[11:56] Fay**
Let's exchange info on what we know
about conquering this labyrinth.
**[12:00] Ashlan**
We'll respawn in different areas, so let's
create a spot where we can all meet.
**[12:05] Fay**
Agreed. Ashlan, any ideas
about the save point?
**[12:09] Ashlan**
It's probably in this locked room just ahead.
**[12:13] Ashlan**
We've acquired one key,
but we're still missing one.
**[12:18] Nel**
Would it be this one by chance?
**[12:20] Ashlan**
That's it!
**[12:22] Ashlan**
Go!
**[12:29] Fay**
An execution site?
***SIGN*** Golden Key Fragment + Silver Key Fragment
***SIGN*** You've
crafted
the key
to the
execution
site.
**[12:31] Ashlan**
There we go! We can move
forward now, you guys!
**[12:37] Ashlan**
Fay, over here.
**[12:39] Pearl**
This is definitely dangerous!
**[12:43] Ashlan**
At times like these...
**[12:45] Ashlan**
The bell of purity. It makes a noise
whenever a monster comes nearby.
**[12:50] Ashlan**
And...
**[12:52] Ashlan**
These clairvoyant glasses
allow us to find traps.
**[12:55] Ashlan**
Neither item is responding, which means...
**[12:58] Pearl**
This execution site is just
something to scare away players?!
**[13:02] Ashlan**
Precisely!
**[13:18] Guy 2**
Captain, there don't seem to be any traps.
**[13:21] Ashlan**
My bell's not reacting, either.
**[13:23] Ashlan**
But that's strange. Why isn't there anything
here? There's not even a treasure chest.
**[13:30] Leshea**
What are you doing?
**[13:31] Fay**
I'm checking for gimmicks.
Maybe like a hidden switch.
**[13:35] Leshea**
Even when there's a huge
presence right before you?
**[13:38] Fay**
Sorry, what?
**[13:39] Ashlan**
What about me?
**[13:41] Leshea**
No, not you. There's clearly
another presence there.
**[13:46] Nel**
Master Fay, it's very faint, but I hear
something that sounds like breathing.
**[13:50] Fay**
What?
**[13:51] Nel**
Are these... sounds of sleeping?
**[13:55] Pearl**
I-I just felt a warm wind against
my neck from over there.
**[14:01] Fay**
*But this is a closed room.*
**[14:03] Fay**
* And the candle flames... The only thing*
* possible from all this evidence is...*
**[14:10] Fay**
Ashlan!
**[14:11] Fay**
There's probably a raid boss here.
**[14:13] Ashlan**
Then why isn't my bell reacting?
**[14:15] Fay**
Well, what if they're asleep?
**[14:17] Ashlan**
What?
**[14:18] Fay**
If these breathing sounds belong to a
monster we can't see, it all makes sense.
**[14:22] Ashlan**
So you're saying that in order to defeat
this thing, we have to wake it up?
**[14:25] Pearl**
Exactly, Captain. We have the
alarm clock and the bugle.
**[14:30] Fay**
I'll give it a shot.
**[14:32] Leshea**
Me, too! I'll do an extra fancy number.
**[14:34] Fay**
Everyone, stand back.
**[14:36] Ashlan**
R-Right.
**[14:38] Fay**
Let's go, Leshea!
**[14:39] Leshea**
Sure.
***SIGN*** Something

Now, let your epic adventure begin!
**[15:03] Fay**
What?
**[15:04] Pearl**
What the heck was that?!
**[15:06] Pearl**
I totally saw an onscreen that said
"destroyed" rather than damage taken!
**[15:11] Fay**
Either way, we're getting further.
Let's try again.
**[15:15] Nel**
But what about that boss?
**[15:17] Fay**
I guess I'll have to talk to Ashlan.
**[15:19] Fay**
They've played this game longer,
**[15:21] Fay**
so they might have something
that can stop that attack.
**[15:27] Ashlan**
The magic-deflecting shield.
**[15:29] Saki**
We've determined that the rage arts
the Sleeping Lion used is a type of magic.
**[15:34] Saki**
So the magic-deflecting shield should work.
**[15:37] Ashlan**
We've created enough for everyone.
**[15:39] Ashlan**
I don't know if it's a Sleeping Lion or
what, but let us humans show it who's boss.
**[15:46] Ashlan**
Fay! Get them!
**[15:47] Fay**
All right, here goes.
***SIGN*** Something
rains down
from the
heavens and
destroys
the players.
***SIGN*** Rage Arts
of the
Sleeping
Lion
***SIGN*** The players
were destroyed.
**[15:59] Meep**
Now, let your epic adventure begin!
**[16:03] Pearl**
I'm so tired of hearing that!
***SIGN*** One more time
***SIGN*** One more time
**[16:07] Meep**
Oh, dear...
***SIGN*** One more time
**[16:10] Fay**
We're back.
**[16:11] Ashlan**
This difficulty is completely broken!
**[16:13] Ashlan**
How's it bypassing the magic deflection?!
**[16:16] Fay**
Say, Nel.
**[16:17] Fay**
Can you possibly use the kick you used
on the Golden Puffy Puff to deflect it?
**[16:21] Fay**
If we trust the explanation of it
"rains down from the heavens,"
**[16:24] Fay**
the attack should be
coming from the ceiling.
**[16:29] Fay**
Here we go.
**[16:30] Nel**
R-Right. Come at me!
***SIGN*** Something
rains down
from the
heavens and
destroys
the players.
***SIGN*** Rage Arts
of the
Sleeping
Lion
***SIGN*** All the players
besides Nel
were destroyed.
**[16:45] Meep**
Now, let your epic adventure begin!
**[16:49] Nel**
I'm so sorry!
**[16:51] Nel**
But I know one thing's for certain. That
attack is thousands of rocks raining down.
**[16:57] Nel**
I was only able to kick back about 1% of it.
**[17:05] Pearl**
It feels like we're running out of ideas...
***SIGN*** Something
rains down
from the
heavens and
destroys
the players.
***SIGN*** Rage Arts
of the
Sleeping
Lion
***SIGN*** destroys
the players
**[17:11] Fay**
That "destroys the players"
onscreen is emphasized.
**[17:15] Pearl**
Huh?
**[17:16] Fay**
That attack shouldn't have any
effect on anyone or anything else.
**[17:20] Fay**
Nel kicked back, but the
Sleeping Lion was fine.
***SIGN*** All the players
besides Nel
were destroyed.
**[17:24] Nel**
Exactly!
**[17:26] Nel**
I was able to kick back the
Golden Puffy Puff and defeat it,
**[17:29] Nel**
but I can't seem to defeat the Sleeping Lion.
**[17:31] Fay**
Meaning, we should just take cover
from the falling rocks. For example...
***SIGN*** "Ordinary Umbrella"
***SIGN*** Try using one when
it rains or snows
***SIGN*** Try using one when
it rains or snows
**[17:42] Pearl**
Oh, this is it!
***SIGN*** Something
rains down
from the
heavens and
destroys
the players.
***SIGN*** Rage Arts
of the
Sleeping
Lion
***SIGN*** The players
were not
destroyed.
**[17:57] Ashlan**
Heck yeah! We made it
through! We got through it!
**[18:01] Girl**
Yay!
**[18:01] Fay**
Not yet!
**[18:02] Fay**
We're not even close to being done yet!
**[18:08] Guy 2**
It's huge!
**[18:09] Ashlan**
Step back, you guys! If any of you
bite it, we have to respawn again!
**[18:18] Leshea**
One damage?
**[18:19] Leshea**
Oh, no! I forgot I'm really weak right now!
**[18:24] Ashlan**
Go, you guys!
**[18:32] Ashlan**
Hey! Why did all our attacks
deal only one point of damage?!
**[18:35] Saki**
Its remaining life has been revealed.
**[18:37] Saki**
2,497,301!
***SIGN*** Sleeping Lion
**[18:40] Saki**
At this rate, we won't even
defeat it in ten years.
**[18:43] Ashlan**
What's going on with this difficulty?
***SIGN*** The Sleeping Lion's "Earth Shatter" destroys everything on land.
**[18:49] Fay**
Crap!
**[18:49] Fay**
Jump, everyone!
**[18:55] Ashlan**
Damn it! It's still got cheat attacks.
**[18:58] Saki**
N-No, it's working.
***SIGN*** Sleeping Lion
**[19:01] Saki**
Its remaining life is 1,785,789!
**[19:05] Ashlan**
So that's it.
**[19:07] Ashlan**
It also received damage because
that attack hit everything on the ground.
**[19:12] Fay**
It's a war of attrition.
**[19:13] Fay**
We're going to make that thing attack.
**[19:15] Ashlan**
Attack, you guys. Once it
counterattacks, we all need to jump!
**[19:25] Fay**
Here it comes! Jump!
**[19:29] Saki**
Its remaining life is now 1,490,311.
***SIGN*** Sleeping Lion
**[19:33] Saki**
If we can make it repeat
that seven more times...
**[19:35] Ashlan**
Give it your all! Just think of
it as jumping rope with ten people!
***SIGN*** Sleeping Lion
**[20:01] Saki**
Its remaining life is now 598!
**[20:04] Saki**
If we can dodge it one more time,
it'll run out of hit points.
**[20:09] Ashlan**
This is the last!
**[20:11] Ashlan**
Saki?!
**[20:12] Nel**
Move!
**[20:15] Nel**
We just need to make sure
it doesn't come down, right?
**[20:22] Nel**
Go back to sleep!
**[20:39] Ashlan**
Heck yeah!
***SIGN*** Bell of Revival
**[20:44] Pearl**
Nel!
**[20:47] Nel**
Wh-Whoa, Pearl?!
**[20:49] Pearl**
I can't believe you kicked
back that final attack!
**[20:52] Pearl**
No one would think of anything like that!
**[20:56] Nel**
I was so desperate I barely
remember what happened.
**[20:59] Pearl**
Even if you don't remember, the
victory item should be here.
**[21:03] Pearl**
You should be the one to get it, Nel!
**[21:07] Nel**
The bell of revival...
**[21:10] Nel**
Considering the name, can it
bring back one of the players?
**[21:13] Fay**
Don't ring it! It's a trap!
**[21:15] Nel and Pearl**
Huh?
**[21:21] Pearl**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Why?!
**[21:23] Fay**
It revived because of the bell!
**[21:26] Saki**
The boss has been fully revived.
**[21:28] Saki**
Its life is 2,500,000!
**[21:30] Pearl**
This dungeon really sucks!
**[21:33] Nel**
I'm so sorry!
**[21:35] Uroboros**
Found you, little humans.
**[21:38] Uroboros**
I have arrived!
**[21:42] Uroboros**
I win this round of hide and seek!
**[21:44] Uroboros**
I let my guard down the other day and lost,
but the Bookmaker made that loss go away
**[21:49] Uroboros**
so now I am undefeated!
**[21:52] Pearl**
Uh... who are you?
**[21:55] Uroboros**
Oh? Don't tell me you've
forgotten the undefeated god.
**[21:59] Fay**
That voice... Uroboros?
**[22:02] Uroboros**
I said let's play again, but you
never came! I was so bored!
**[22:09] Fay**
Crap!
**[22:10] Pearl**
We're out of umbrellas.
**[22:12] Uroboros**
Shut up.
***SIGN*** Sleeping Lion
***SIGN*** Received 87,991,000,300,000,199 damage
**[22:22] Uroboros**
Honestly. I'm talking here, pup.

***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[00:02] Uroboros**
Shut up.
***SIGN*** Sleeping Lion
***SIGN*** Received 87,991,000,300,000,199 damage
**[00:12] Uroboros**
Honestly. I'm talking here, pup.
**[00:22] Ashlan**
A-And to think we had
so much trouble with it...
**[00:26] Uroboros**
Oh? Looks like something's coming out.
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[00:34] Ashlan**
Th-The save item appeared?!
***SIGN*** Save Item "Lion Heart"
***SIGN*** Brave warriors,
you may
return here
at any time.
***SIGN*** Player Name: "Ashlan Highrols"
***SIGN*** Would you like to save?
**[00:44] Ashlan**
I see! This must mean we
can return to our world!
**[00:48] ---**
**[00:49] Boy 1**
We can go home!
**[00:49] Girl**
Yay!
**[00:50] Uroboros**
What are you so happy about?
**[00:52] Uroboros**
That's just a regular save point, and
the next place you dive into
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[00:56] Uroboros**
is the rest of this game
that you'll be forced to play.
**[00:59] Ashlan**
Th-This might only be a temporary solution,
**[01:02] Ashlan**
but with enough time, I'm sure we can—
**[01:04] Uroboros**
You still haven't realized it?
**[01:07] Uroboros**
This game doesn't end, does it?
**[01:17] Fay**
This game...
**[01:19] Fay**
has a bug preventing the story
from moving forward.
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
***SIGN*** The "Dark Labyrinth" of Death and Rebirth: Luceimia
**[02:56] Pearl**
Wh-What do you mean there's a bug?
**[02:59] Fay**
Do you remember the
legend Meep told us?
**[03:04] Pearl**
Yes, because I was rather
shocked that the god died.
**[03:09] Fay**
And in Meep's original explanation,
**[03:11] Fay**
they mentioned that we could clear this
game if we defeated the last boss.
**[03:16] Leshea**
The gods' games is a battle
between gods and humans.
**[03:19] Leshea**
Which means that the last boss
of this labyrinth is a god.
**[03:24] Fay**
But that god doesn't exist anymore.
**[03:27] Fay**
Meaning that it's impossible to clear
this game by defeating the last boss.
**[03:31] All**
What?!
**[03:32] Nel**
Unbelievable! Completely conquering the
gods' games is humanity's greatest wish!
**[03:37] Nel**
But you're saying that we're going
to be trapped in this game forever?
**[03:40] Ashlan**
How could such an evil bug exist?
**[03:43] Fay**
Could you return to
the real world at once
**[03:45] Fay**
and tell Chief Secretary
Miranda the situation?
**[03:48] Fay**
We'll try to get further
through this labyrinth.
**[03:51] Ashlan**
What?
**[03:52] Ashlan**
What are you going to do when
the last boss doesn't exist?!
**[03:54] Ashlan**
How are you going to conquer this?!
**[03:56] Fay**
Honestly, no idea.
**[03:57] All**
What?!
**[03:58] Fay**
But for now, I'm going to try to
get to the end of this labyrinth
**[04:02] Fay**
to confirm if the last boss
is really dead or not.
**[04:06] Leshea**
It's always more fun on
a more difficult setting!
**[04:08] Nel**
No complaints from me.
**[04:10] Pearl**
I-I'll also do my best!
**[04:12] Ashlan**
All right! I promise we'll return.
**[04:22] Ashlan**
All right!
**[04:28] Fay**
Okay, let's try to conquer
this thing for real.
**[04:30] Pearl**
Wh-What is *that*?
**[04:41] Meep**
Congratulations!
**[04:45] Meep**
You've successfully conquered the raid
boss... or so I'd like to say, but...
**[04:51] Meep**
You've earned a yellow card!
**[04:53] Meep**
We can't have other gods
clearing such important events!
**[04:57] Uroboros**
That only happened because of that dumb pup!
**[04:59] Meep**
If you do that again...
**[05:04] Meep**
Okay, we are now entering dark labyrinth mode.
***SIGN*** Dark Labyrinth Mode
**[05:07] Meep**
As for what kind of change that entails...
**[05:09] Pearl**
You don't need to explain!
We totally understand!
**[05:12] Pearl**
We can clearly tell that
the difficulty went up.
**[05:14] Meep**
The walls just changed color
due to a change of mood.
**[05:17] Pearl**
That's it?!
**[05:19] Meep**
There's a slight difference in
the monsters you'll encounter,
**[05:22] Meep**
but you're going to be
wiped out hundreds of times,
**[05:25] Meep**
so I'd just call it a margin of error.
**[05:27] Pearl**
Could you not though?!
**[05:29] Meep**
Good luck on that 100% completion!
**[05:33] Fay**
*Why?*
**[05:34] Meep**
Fight on! Fight on! Fight on!
**[05:34] Fay**
* Why do they try so confidently to get*
* us to completely conquer this labyrinth?*
**[05:38] Fay**
*This game is completely broken.*
**[05:42] Fay**
*Well, whatever. I guess I'll find out.*
**[05:50] Nel**
Okay. I'll take the lead here.
**[05:53] Fay**
Are you going to be okay?
**[05:54] Nel**
My Arise excels when it comes to evasion.
**[05:57] Nel**
Let me deal with the traps.
**[06:11] Fay**
Uh, Uroboros... How long are you...
**[06:14] Uroboros**
Hold it right there!
**[06:15] Uroboros**
I am undefeated. Therefore, I know all!
**[06:18] Uroboros**
You want to play with me, don't you?
**[06:20] Uroboros**
You see, I've prepared a new game for you.
**[06:24] Uroboros**
It's extremely popular, so you'll
have to wait fifty years to play it.
**[06:27] Uroboros**
But if you little humans want
to play with me *that* badly,
**[06:30] Uroboros**
I guess I can invite you all!
**[06:32] Uroboros**
Oh, what am I going to
do? I'm just so popular.
**[06:36] Fay**
Er, honestly, you're not popular at all.
**[06:39] Uroboros**
So yeah! I don't like intervening in other
gods' games, but I'll be tagging along!
**[06:44] Uroboros**
Could you hurry it up though?
**[06:46] Pearl**
Wait, are you going to
help us, Miss Undefeated?
**[06:49] Fay**
You sure about this? You just got a penalty.
**[06:52] Uroboros**
Whatever.
**[06:53] Fay**
Hello?!
**[07:00] Pearl**
Is something the matter?
**[07:03] Uroboros**
There's a switch here.
**[07:05] Pearl**
You can't just go carelessly touching things!
**[07:07] Uroboros**
Gonna push the button.
**[07:11] Pearl**
My eyes hurt! This is pepper spray!
**[07:15] Nel**
Shh!
**[07:16] Nel**
Be quiet!
**[07:27] Fay**
I've got a bad feeling about this.
**[07:43] Harumph Fairy**
Harumph.
**[07:44] Pearl**
She's so cute!
**[07:48] Pearl**
Look at how adorable she is!
How could an enemy be so cute?!
**[07:52] Harumph Fairy**
Harumph?
**[07:53] Pearl**
Y-You don't mind... if I
just touch you a little...
**[07:59] Harumph Fairy**
Harumph!
**[08:00] Pearl**
No! Harumph Fairy, come back!
**[08:02] Fay**
Who exactly is the monster here?
**[08:06] Fay**
Pearl, below you!
**[08:07] Pearl**
Huh?
**[08:10] Pearl**
No! What happened to my cute Puffy Puffs?!
**[08:13] Pearl**
This is dark labyrinth mode?
**[08:17] Pearl**
Wait, it doesn't hurt.
**[08:19] Nel**
It looks so pathetic now.
**[08:21] Nel**
Can we return it to normal somehow?
**[08:24] Nel**
What's the matter, Puffy Puff?!
**[08:28] Pearl**
Nel, you reek!
**[08:30] Nel**
N-No! What smells is this stomach acid!
**[08:34] Nel**
It threw up again!
**[08:35] Pearl**
It smells so bad!
**[08:37] Fay**
Leave it! Let's go!
**[08:39] Pearl**
Right!
**[08:45] Leshea**
Hey, what's that door?
**[08:48] Pearl**
A treasure room? That's definitely
an event-related room!
***SIGN*** Treasure Room
**[08:54] Pearl**
It seems to be locked.
**[08:55] Fay**
The key's probably somewhere
along the path we just ran.
**[09:00] Fay**
Maybe one of the monsters
we encounter will drop one.
**[09:02] Fay**
Let's go back and check from the start.
**[09:07] Pizaplin**
Oh? Some wanderers?
**[09:12] Pizaplin**
I am the angel Pizaristed
Plinkethewmerkelbrilliant III.
**[09:19] Pizaplin**
I am known as the most
loving and merciful to the
**[09:22] Pizaplin**
lost little lambs of this labyrinth.
**[09:26] Pearl**
Oho! Your name is too long, so I'm
just gonna call you Angel Pizaplin!
**[09:31] Pizaplin**
Very well.
**[09:32] Fay**
He accepted it?!
**[09:34] Leshea**
But that name is awful.
**[09:36] Nel**
The most merciful angel in this labyrinth...
**[09:39] Nel**
He clearly is.
**[09:41] Pizaplin**
You are truly blessed.
**[09:45] Pizaplin**
I shall grant you a single wish.
**[09:48] Pearl**
R-Really? Then could you give
us the key to this door?
**[09:52] Pizaplin**
Very well.
**[09:59] Pearl**
What's the matter, Pizaplin?
**[10:02] Pizaplin**
How...
**[10:07] Pizaplin**
disgusting!
**[10:09] Pearl**
What?
**[10:10] Pizaplin**
I shall grant your wish...
with your purification!
**[10:16] Pizaplin**
Be reborn as beautiful souls!
***SIGN*** The angel used "Purifying Light -Purify-"
The tainted 2 were destroyed.
**[10:31] Meep**
Now, let your epic adventure begin!
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[10:40] Fay**
So the trick is if we're dirty, it makes
that angel angry, and he destroys us.
**[10:46] Pearl**
I guess Nel must've really stunk.
**[10:48] Nel**
This is your fault, too, Pearl! That
thing clearly said "tainted 2"!
**[10:53] Fay**
By the way, I guess you end up respawning
too as a part of this team, Uroboros.
**[10:57] Uroboros**
Huh?!
**[10:59] Uroboros**
A part of your team...?
**[11:01] Uroboros**
I'm a part of the little humans' team...?
**[11:07] Uroboros**
Well, if you insist.
**[11:08] Uroboros**
I'm a super-rare god that you rarely
ever get the chance to team up with,
**[11:13] Uroboros**
but considering the game
system, I guess I don't mind.
**[11:16] Uroboros**
Oh, goodness, you little
humans just love me so much!
**[11:17] Meep**
Oh? You've conquered one more thing.
**[11:21] Meep**
By pushing the pepper-trap button,
your unlock percentage went up 0.1%.
**[11:28] Pearl**
Wow, that number really doesn't matter.
**[11:31] Fay**
All right. For now, we
don't have any questions.
**[11:34] Fay**
We'll just try one more time.
***SIGN*** Take Two
**[11:37] Fay**
It's a bit troublesome that the nature of
the monsters has changed in dark labyrinth mode.
**[11:42] Fay**
If we get hit with Zombie
Puffy Puff's stomach acid,
**[11:44] Fay**
the Angel Pizaplin becomes enraged.
**[11:49] Leshea**
The bell that the Harumph Fairy had
might be attracting other monsters.
**[11:56] Fay**
Yeah. I think the key here
is to not be found by them.
**[12:06] Nel**
I hear a waterfall.
**[12:12] Pearl**
It's a real waterfall!
**[12:15] Leshea**
Hey, Fay! Look over there!
**[12:18] Fay**
A treasure chest?
**[12:20] Leshea**
Maybe it contains the key
to the treasure room.
**[12:28] Leshea**
Here we go.
**[12:34] Pearl**
Er... What exactly is all of this?
**[12:37] Pearl**
Pieces of cloth?
**[12:40] Leshea**
There's no doubt about it!
**[12:42] Leshea**
They're swimsuits!
***SIGN*** "Swimsuits" (Unable to craft)
***SIGN*** Please use when
entering the waterfall
**[12:43] Pearl**
Huh?
**[12:46] Leshea**
And this super-sized
one... must be for Pearl!
**[12:50] Pearl**
It's so cute.
**[12:52] Pearl**
Wait, there's no way that's right!
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[12:56] Pearl**
Let's forget about that silly
little area and proceed.
**[13:02] Pearl**
What's this?!
**[13:04] Pearl**
A-ha! I've got it!
**[13:06] Pearl**
Everyone! Please do not
go near those paintings.
**[13:09] Pearl**
If you get too close, one of those assassin
apples will fly out of the paintings!
**[13:21] Nel**
Huh?
**[13:23] Nel**
Are you okay?
**[13:24] Pearl**
Ow...
**[13:26] Nel**
I thought we might have to respawn.
**[13:28] Pearl**
I guess the assassin apples were
also affected by dark labyrinth mode.
**[13:33] Pearl**
Just like Puffy Puff turned
into Zombie Puffy Puff,
**[13:36] Pearl**
the apple's rotten inside, so I was spared.
**[13:40] Pizaplin**
Oh? Some wanderers?
**[13:43] Pearl**
Pizaplin!
**[13:45] Pizaplin**
Indeed. I shall grant you
one wish to help you out.
**[13:51] Pearl**
Um... you said that earlier but sorta wiped
out our party. Will you really help us?
**[13:57] Pizaplin**
But of course.
**[13:58] Pearl**
In that case, please tell us where
the key to the treasure room is!
**[14:03] Pizaplin**
Such a simple request.
**[14:06] Pizaplin**
In that case, let us...
**[14:09] Fay**
Welp, I have a bad feeling about this.
**[14:13] Pizaplin**
How disgusting!
**[14:14] Pearl**
B-But! The Harumph Fairy didn't find us!
**[14:18] Pearl**
And we weren't hit with Zombie
Puffy Puff's stomach acid!
**[14:23] Pearl**
Huh? Wha?
**[14:24] Pizaplin**
Be reborn as beautiful souls!
***SIGN*** The angel used "Purifying Light -Purify-"
Pearl, who was tainted in the back of the head, was destroyed.
**[14:34] Pearl**
Who are you calling tainted?!
**[14:36] Pearl**
Curse that angel... he
won't get away with this!
***SIGN*** Take Three
**[14:48] Pearl**
Yay! I did it! Now, where is
the key to the treasure room?
**[14:58] Pearl**
Huh?
**[15:00] Pearl**
But why? We worked so hard to
make it through the painting zone
**[15:04] Pearl**
and ended up here without
being able to find the key.
**[15:07] Pizaplin**
Oh? Some wanderers?
**[15:10] Pearl**
Angel Pizaplin?!
**[15:12] Fay**
Again?!
**[15:13] Nel**
But wait, we haven't been doused
in any disgusting liquid.
**[15:16] Pearl**
Angel Pizaplin.
**[15:18] Pearl**
You said you were the bringer of good luck.
**[15:20] Pearl**
You said you'd grant our wish.
**[15:23] Pizaplin**
Precisely.
**[15:24] Pizaplin**
However, that only applies
to those pure and clean.
**[15:29] Pizaplin**
Having a better look at all of
you... none of you are tainted.
**[15:34] Pizaplin**
I shall reward your cleanliness
and grant your wish.
**[15:39] Pearl**
Then could you give us the key to...
No, could you open the treasure room?
**[15:44] Pizaplin**
Very well.
**[15:47] Fay**
Welp...
**[15:48] Pizaplin**
How putrid... This putrid smell...
**[15:51] Pizaplin**
You must've been tainted by the Zombie Puffy
Puff's stomach acid in a previous life!
**[15:56] Pizaplin**
And hit with a rotten apple!
**[15:57] Pearl**
W-Wait, what?
**[16:03] Fay**
Well, that was a completely new pattern.
**[16:07] Fay**
To think there's a monster that carries
over experience just like players do.
**[16:13] Leshea**
That smell is gonna be trouble.
**[16:15] Fay**
All right, let's do take four.
**[16:19] Fay**
What's the matter?
**[16:23] Pearl**
Smell...
**[16:25] (Flashback) Nel**
What smells is this stomach acid!
**[16:28] (Flashback) Pizaplin**
This putrid smell...
**[16:29] (Flashback) Pizaplin**
You must've been tainted by the Zombie Puffy
Puff's stomach acid in a previous life!
**[16:35] Nel**
It won't come off...
**[16:40] Pearl**
I figured out how to open the treasure room!
**[16:44] Nel**
When it comes to smells...
**[16:45] Pearl**
A girl's hair is her life!
We're experts at this!
**[16:49] Pearl**
Which means...
**[16:51] Pearl**
That was our hint.
**[16:55] Leshea**
I see.
**[16:57] Uroboros**
I'll do it, too.
**[16:59] Fay**
Um...
**[17:01] Nel**
Leave this to us!
**[17:04] Pearl**
You can just wait in front
of the treasure room, Fay.
**[17:07] Pearl**
We'll go get prepared.
**[17:09] Fay**
Prepared?
**[17:11] Nel**
Let's go.
**[17:12] Pearl**
Yes! Let's!
**[17:17] Leshea**
Looks like we've found
what makes this dungeon good.
**[17:20] Leshea**
None of us want a difficulty
only you and I can conquer.
**[17:24] Leshea**
Any game that allows
those two to say, "Leave this to us,"
**[17:27] Leshea**
is surely a good game.
**[17:34] Fay**
* As Leshea said, perhaps this*
* is how gods' games should be.*
**[17:40] Fay**
* We can only see true victory when everyone*
* on the team starts to show their smarts.*
**[17:47] Nel**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Fay.
**[17:49] Fay**
Are you ready now?
**[17:51] Pearl**
Yes! Watch this!
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[17:54] Pearl**
Come on out, Angel Pizaplin!
**[18:00] Pizaplin**
Someone has summoned me.
**[18:03] Pizaplin**
Oh?
***SIGN*** Undefeated
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[18:14] Pizaplin**
How pure.
**[18:17] Pizaplin**
Now, go forth.
**[18:20] Pearl**
Yay!
**[18:21] Nel**
We did it!
**[18:23] Fay**
You really did it.
**[18:25] Fay**
Now, could you tell me the trick behind this?
**[18:28] Pearl**
That angel disliked dirty things.
**[18:32] Pearl**
And the smell that was on us didn't
go away even after we respawned.
**[18:37] Pearl**
But...
**[18:38] Pearl**
Do you really think girls our age could
live with being told that we smell?
**[18:43] Fay**
Uh...
**[18:44] Pearl**
I tend to sweat a lot... so I usually
use deodorants and perfumes.
**[18:50] Pearl**
I also use conditioner that smells nice.
**[18:54] Pearl**
But the most useful thing
to do in this situation...
**[18:58] Nel**
...is to take a bath.
**[19:00] Fay**
So you took a bath.
**[19:04] Nel**
That waterfall should be
able to wash off the smell.
**[19:07] Nel**
Meaning, the swimsuits
in the treasure chest...
**[19:09] Nel**
were the actual key. It's just...
**[19:13] Pearl**
We were just supposed to get rid of
the smell, but we ended up playing.
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[19:30] (Flashback) Leshea**
This is a huge discovery!
**[19:45] (Flashback) Uroboros**
You're wide open.
**[19:46] (Flashback) Leshea**
Now you've done it!
**[20:08] (Flashback) Uroboros**
Hiyah!
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[20:23] Pearl**
A-Anyway!
**[20:24] Pearl**
Well? Were we able to help?
**[20:30] Pearl**
Fay?
**[20:31] Fay**
Of course!
**[20:35] Fay**
It's all thanks to you both, Pearl and
Nel! I'm glad you're on our team!
**[20:49] Pearl**
Wow, there's jewels everywhere!
**[20:52] Nel**
What an amazing room!
**[20:55] Leshea**
Hey, look.
***SIGN*** Item: "Master Key to the Treasure Room"

**[21:08] Leshea**

**[21:14] Meep**
Congratulations! The last boss
is finally about to appear!
**[21:20] Meep**
Five customers coming in!
**[21:29] Fay**
Seriously?! A pitfall?!
***SIGN*** Mal-ra branch office of the Arcane Court
**[21:37] Kelritch**
It looks like we've been permitted
to dive into the labyrinth.
**[21:41] Kelritch**
We will be the secondary rescue team.
**[21:43] Dax**
Well done, Kelritch.
**[21:51] Dax**
Fay... We were always destined to meet again.
**[21:56] Dax**
This labyrinth is our new crossroads!
**[22:01] Kelritch**
You call this fate, but you're
personally the one going to see him.
**[22:05] Dax**
Wait for me, Fay! I am
about to join the match!

**[00:02] Fay**
Seriously?! A pitfall?!
**[00:18] Leshea**
Look.
**[00:22] Uroboros**
Oho... this must be...
**[00:25] Nel**
... the field for the final boss fight.
***SIGN*** I lay here
**[00:35] Fay**
"I lay here."
**[00:39] Fay**
"I lay here."
**[00:41] Fay**
"There aren't any humans who conquered this
game, so I got sick of it all. Goodbye."
**[00:49] Fay**
I know we predicted this, but to think
they're this casual about it...
**[00:54] Nel**
So with the last boss dead, is it
even possible to clear this game?
**[00:58] Fay**
If it's impossible to conquer this game
because the last boss is absent,
**[01:01] Fay**
we just have to revive and defeat them.
**[01:03] Nel**
Wha?!
**[01:04] Pearl**
How does that even work?!
**[01:06] Leshea**
Oh! I think it's actually possible.
**[01:08] Leshea**
Because this place is the
Labyrinth of Death and Rebirth.
**[01:12] Leshea**
So it's a labyrinth where you
can be reborn after death.
**[01:14] Fay**
Yes. A huge part of this game is rebirth.
**[01:19] Fay**
We players and monsters have
equally revived at the respawn.
**[01:25] Fay**
In that case, the god should revive, too.
**[01:31] Pearl**
That's...
**[01:35] Pearl**
The bell of revival!
**[01:37] Fay**
Yeah.
**[01:43] Pearl**
Okay, last boss! Be reborn!
**[01:55] Pearl**
Nothing's happening!
**[01:58] Fay**
"There aren't any humans who conquered
this game, so I got sick of it all."
**[02:02] Fay**
Which means that they're asking us
to completely conquer this labyrinth.
**[02:07] Pearl**
The unlock percentage!
**[02:08] Fay**
Yeah. The unlock percentage
**[02:10] Fay**
is the score showing how close we are
to freeing the god from their grave.
**[02:15] Fay**
Exploring every part of this
labyrinth, conquering all the gimmicks,
**[02:19] Fay**
beating every boss, and obtaining every item
will get us an unlock percentage of 100%.
**[02:24] Fay**
That's how we're going to revive the god.
**[02:26] Pearl**
But that's impossible!
**[02:28] Nel**
That's going to take thousands of hours.
**[02:30] Fay**
Yeah, that's why we're all doing this.
**[02:33] Fay**
The two hundred who have been lost in
this labyrinth for hundreds of hours...
**[02:38] Fay**
And then the fifty including us, the
first squad, and the rescue team.
**[02:42] Fay**
We'll meet up and exchange information!
**[02:53] Ashlan**
Whoa!
**[02:54] Ashlan**
All of these are ultra rare!
**[02:57] Ashlan**
How much time did you guys
spend gathering all this stuff?
**[03:00] Fay**
It's a huge help to have you back.
**[03:02] Ashlan**
Right...
**[03:09] Ashlan**
Whoa!
**[03:10] Ashlan**
Is this a map of the whole place?!
**[03:15] Fay**
If you obtain a rare item,
please drop it off here.
**[03:19] Ashlan**
Okay.
**[03:21] Fay**
As long as you have this Master
Key to the Treasure Room,
**[03:23] Fay**
you can basically hold as
many items as you want.
**[03:26] Ashlan**
Wow, that's crazy!
**[03:28] Pearl**
Fay!
**[03:29] Pearl**
We've made a huge discovery!
**[03:31] Pearl**
Take a look at this.
**[03:34] Fay**
Hey, isn't that...
**[03:38] Pearl**
We decided to bathe the Zombie Puffy
Puffs in the waterfall like we did.
**[03:51] Pearl**
And then they returned to
being adorable little Puffy Puffs!
**[03:57] Nel**
That's not all!
**[03:59] Nel**
By returning all the Zombie
Puffy Puffs back to normal,
**[04:02] Nel**
we were thanked and led to
the Valley of the Puffy Puffs.
**[04:11] Leshea**
We also received this!
**[04:13] Leshea**
Apparently we can use this to explore
without being attacked by Puffy Puffs.
***SIGN*** "Crest of the Puffy Puffs"
Become friends with the Puffy Puffs
**[04:19] Fay**
Anyway, I hope you'll help us out.
**[04:22] Ashlan**
Sure!

**[04:38] Leshea**
Area bosses are tough,
**[04:41] Leshea**
but I'm pretty sure we can defeat them
if we keep respawning and fighting them.
**[04:45] Leshea**
The hardest part of getting
an unlock percentage of 100%
**[04:49] Leshea**
is probably trying to find
all of the secret events.
**[04:55] Ashlan**
There it is again!
***SIGN*** New Area Boss
King Eraser
**[04:59] Ashlan**
That thing's got such a stupid
name, so why's it so strong?!
**[05:02] Camilla**
How're we supposed to defeat that thing
when we insta-die if we touch it?!
***SIGN*** New Area
Forest of the Assassin Apples
**[05:13] Pearl**
We're all working very hard...
so I'm sure we'll find them!
**[05:17] Fay**
You're right!
**[05:33] Nel**
It's a hidden door.
**[05:40] Pearl**
There's nothing but junk.
**[05:45] Fay**
This is...
**[05:51] Nel**
Look at this ruby!
**[05:54] Fay**
Huh... I didn't know rubies were so sparkly.
**[05:57] Uroboros**
Hold it!
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[05:58] Uroboros**
*My* eyes are way prettier!
**[06:01] Uroboros**
Remember? I gave it to you guys.
**[06:03] Uroboros**
Compared to my eyes, this puny ruby is...
**[06:07] Sphinx**
*I've been waiting for you!*
**[06:15] Sphinx**
*I am Sphinx the Guardian!*
**[06:18] Pearl**
S-Sorry, what?!
**[06:20] Fay**
Is this thing a raid boss?!
**[06:22] Sphinx**
* Everything you've fought so far, even*
* the other raid bosses, are the weakest!*
**[06:27] Sphinx**
*But I am different!*
**[06:30] Sphinx**
*Behold! My true form!*
**[06:42] Sphinx**
* Once I engage my battle mode,*
* no Arise will work on me!*
**[06:48] Sphinx**
*I shall squash you all like the bugs you are!*
**[06:54] Uroboros**
Shut up.
***SIGN*** Sphinx received 96,198,030,879,910,199 damage
Sphinx was defeated
**[07:04] Uroboros**
Darn it. I was in the middle
of talking, kitty cat.
**[07:08] Uroboros**
Oh, crap.
**[07:13] Meep**
You did it again. You're outta here.
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[07:17] Uroboros**
Welp... there's not much I can do.
**[07:20] Uroboros**
I guess I'm heading back
to the human world first.
**[07:22] Uroboros**
Hurry up and clear this thing and head back.
**[07:28] Pearl**
She just got booted.
**[07:33] Fay**
Well, she said "clear this
thing and head back"...
**[07:36] Fay**
so she must mean "don't come back
until you clear this thing."
**[07:40] Fay**
Guess we'll have to live
up to her expectations.
***SIGN*** Gods' Games We Play
**[07:52] Ashlan**
I'm exhausted. I can't move another inch.
**[07:56] Camilla**
I've used up all of my energy...
**[08:04] Pearl**
Fay!
**[08:06] Pearl**
We found it!
**[08:08] Pearl**
We found the last gimmick!
**[08:19] Nel**
There are dice enshrined
in this strange place...
**[08:23] Leshea**
"Make them all one," it says.
**[08:27] Fay**
So it's saying to get a
one on all these dice.
**[08:37] Fay**
The odds pretty much suck when you're
dealing with them all being 24-sided dice.
**[08:40] Leshea**
You might pull it off if you throw
them about 200 million times.
**[08:43] Dax**
I've finally found you, Fay.
**[08:47] Fay**
Dax?!
**[08:49] Dax**
It appears as though fate
beckons us to be together.
**[09:04] Fay**
What are you doing?
**[09:05] Dax**
It's dirty, and that bothers me.
**[09:07] Dax**
If I'm going to throw
this die, it must shine!
**[09:11] Fay**
So you're going to throw the die?
**[09:14] Dax**
And done! Behold this glimmer!
**[09:21] Dax**
The time has come!
**[09:22] Dax**
Gather round, messengers of fate!
**[09:24] Dax**
We shall welcome a new age
and open the doors to success!
**[09:29] Dax**
I call this Dax Dice!
**[09:37] Fay**
No way!
**[09:40] Kelritch**
That's just how he is.
***SIGN*** Item "Clear Mirror of Dawn"
Overturns full party defeat only once
**[09:59] Pearl**
We've finally completed everything!
**[10:04] Fay**
You're heading back already?
**[10:07] Dax**
We are rivals led by fate
until the end of time.
**[10:12] Dax**
But let us battle again at another time.
**[10:16] Kelritch**
"Considering there might still be some
players that haven't been able to return,
**[10:20] Kelritch**
finding them takes priority,"
**[10:22] Kelritch**
is what he's saying.
**[10:23] Fay**
Huh...
**[10:27] Fay**
That's great. Thanks, Dax.
**[10:33] Kelritch**
Let us meet again.
**[10:39] Nel**
What?!
**[10:41] Pearl**
N-No way! Why?!
**[10:46] Fay**
We have 0.001% left?
**[10:50] Pearl**
We've searched every millimeter
of this labyrinth,
**[10:53] Pearl**
so I really thought this was the end.
**[10:57] Fay**
That's it!
**[10:58] Fay**
The only thing left is something
that's not in the labyrinth!
**[11:02] Fay**
When did the unlock percentage show
up? When we entered the labyrinth?
**[11:07] Fay**
No.
**[11:09] (Flashback) Pearl**
Huh? What's this number?
**[11:13] Fay**
If we could only reach 100%
from within the labyrinth,
**[11:15] Fay**
the number would've shown up
after we entered the labyrinth.
**[11:18] Fay**
But since it showed up before that...
**[11:25] Nel**
That's right! There's this giant hole!
**[11:29] Fay**
This is the last thing. Let's go!
**[11:39] Pearl**
We did it!
**[11:47] Fay**
I see.
**[11:54] Fay**
That giant hole...
**[11:55] Fay**
was the quickest way to the deepest
part of the labyrinth from the start.
**[12:01] Pearl**
Okay, god. We cleared all the requirements!
**[12:04] Pearl**
Respawn now!
**[12:09] Fay**
It's time to review our answers.
**[12:11] Fay**
The challengers you've been waiting
for are finally here! Come on out!
**[12:30] Anubis**

I see!
**[14:24] Fay**
That must be it!
**[14:27] Fay**
Her weakness is...
**[14:29] Fay**
she's a dunce!
**[14:31] Anubis**
Who are you calling stupid?!
**[14:35] Pearl**
You, you dummy.
**[14:36] Pearl**
This is the Final Showdown

**[14:39] Pearl**
Any boss takes only one hit!
**[15:01] Anubis**
You naïve little girl.
**[15:03] Anubis**
Did you really think such a flimsy
attack could take *me* down?
**[15:07] Pearl**
You're the one who gave it the
name "Final Showdown Weapon!"
**[15:10] Anubis**
If I did, I forgot.
**[15:11] Pearl**
What does that even mean?!
**[15:13] Anubis**
A hundred Golden Puffy Puffs...
**[15:15] Anubis**
I summon you!
**[15:22] Pearl**
There's way too many of them!
**[15:24] Anubis**
And then...
**[15:25] Anubis**
Ultimate Technique: God Eraser!
**[15:29] Anubis**
You'll all be annihilated in 70 seconds!
**[15:32] Anubis**
Let's see... I am the creator
of the dark dawn. And, uh...
**[15:38] Pearl**
It's impossible to defeat
100 Golden Puffy Puffs
**[15:40] Pearl**
and stop that insane-sounding attack!
**[15:44] Leshea**
You think so?
**[15:45] Pearl**
Huh?
**[15:46] Leshea**
With this Crest of the Puffy Puffs,
|we can avoid fighting all Puffy Puffs!
**[16:02] Fay**
Okay, now it's *our* turn!
**[16:03] Fay**
She can't move right now!
**[16:03] Anubis**
I... huh?!
**[16:08] Pearl**
Time to concentrate fire on her!
**[16:09] Anubis**
Never mind about the chanting!
**[16:11] Anubis**
I'm making it so that the God Eraser
can be summoned without chanting!
**[16:14] Fay**
Huh?
**[16:15] Anubis**
God Eraser!
**[16:19] Anubis**
Fire!
***SIGN*** The players

defeated

**[16:39] Fay**
Now, wait a minute!
**[16:41] Fay**
What the hell was up with that
last-second rule change?!
**[16:43] Anubis**
Well, I *am* the last boss!
**[16:45] Anubis**
I will show you my greatest spell!
**[16:48] Anubis**
Applying insta-death damage
to everyone on land!
**[16:53] Fay**
Everyone, jump!
**[16:55] Anubis**
Ah, well done.
**[16:57] Anubis**
Now for the *second* greatest spell!
**[16:59] Anubis**
Applying insta-death damage
to everything in the sky!
**[17:03] Fay**
Duck!
**[17:07] Anubis**
Wow, this is so exciting! Games are so great!
**[17:12] Fay**
No fair! Despite how shitty this game is,
**[17:15] Fay**
if you look that happy, we're just
going to want to keep playing!
**[17:18] Anubis**
Now, then... I'm going to try
God Eraser one more time!
**[17:22] Anubis**
Of course, the necessary
chanting time is zero!
**[17:25] Fay**
Then if we use an item...
**[17:27] Anubis**
Locking away all your items!
***SIGN*** Additional Rule "Item Seal"
Gamemaster prohibits the use of items
**[17:37] Anubis**
Okay, here we go. God Eraser!
**[17:43] Nel**
Moment...
**[17:44] Nel**
Reversal!
**[17:57] Fay**
Nel!
**[18:05] Anubis**
Not bad.
**[18:07] Anubis**
This next one is going
to be my biggest attack!
**[18:10] Anubis**
I will blow away this whole coliseum!
**[18:15] Fay**
Coliseum... That's it!
**[18:18] Nel**
Huh?
**[18:20] Fay**
That was a hint just now!
We're getting outta here!
**[18:23] Nel**
I-I'm sorry, Master Fay.
**[18:26] Fay**
Thanks. We'll take care of the rest.
**[18:31] Fay**
Let's retreat!
**[18:32] Anubis**
You won't get away!
**[18:36] Sphinx**
You shall not pass!
**[18:39] Pearl**
The exit...
**[18:41] Leshea**
Leave it to me!
**[18:45] Anubis**
Blow away!
**[18:51] Leshea**
Out of the way!
**[18:54] Pearl**
The Wandering!
**[18:58] Anubis**
God... Eraser!
**[19:08] Fay**
Jump in!
**[19:38] Pearl**
Where's the god?!
**[20:06] Anubis**
I am content.
**[20:17] Anubis**
That was truly fun. Well done
playing every last part of my game.
**[20:22] Anubis**
Each item, each area, each event... It
must have been an impossible journey.
**[20:28] Anubis**
I could clearly feel all the
passion you put towards this game.
**[20:33] Anubis**
In the end, that's what I wanted to test.
**[20:37] Anubis**
So...
**[20:39] Anubis**
you win.
**[20:45] Nel**
We did it!
**[20:49] Pearl**
We really did it!
**[20:49] Leshea**
That was a crazy game.
**[20:52] Anubis**
Here is a gift for you.
**[20:55] Anubis**
It would be pointless if this just
ended with me having all the fun.
**[20:58] Anubis**
I will give you that key.
**[21:05] Anubis**
I am content.
**[21:08] Anubis**
I would love to play again,
so revive me sometime.
**[21:17] Fay**
Well don't just die!

We're back.
**[21:56] Miranda**
Welcome back, everyone. Good game.
**[21:59] Miranda**
The labyrinth game of no return ended
up being an unprecedented ordeal,
**[22:04] Miranda**
but everyone was able to return
because you cleared the game.
**[22:07] Miranda**
You all did amazing!
**[22:10] Pearl**
I'm done!
**[22:11] Nel**
That was an intense game...
**[22:14] Pearl**
Now I can finally get some rest...
**[22:17] Leshea**

ready to head into the next game!

**[22:22] Uroboros**
Exactly!
**[22:24] Uroboros**
Little humans! Let us battle with *my* game!
**[22:27] Fay**
Uh...
**[22:28] Leshea**
Fay, let's play
the next game.
**[22:31] Uroboros**
My game
comes first!
**[22:33] Leshea**
We already played yours once.
Yours comes later! You hear me?!
**[22:42] Fay**
All right, let's do this thing!
**[22:45] Leshea**
That's right, Fay!
**[22:47] Leshea**
We can play to our hearts' content again!
**[23:00] Fay**
Yeah.
**[23:03] Miranda**
Can we count on you to
complete the gods' games?
**[23:07] Fay**
I'm just going to have fun like I always do.
**[23:12] Fay**
With this team.
**[23:14] Pearl**
Oh, what are we going to do with you?
**[23:16] Nel**
If you insist, Master Fay!
**[23:29] Leshea**
Isn't this exciting?
**[23:31] Fay**
Yeah. This is...
***SIGN*** Undefeated
**[23:35] Fay**
the beginning of our new game!
