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

[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.

[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
Miranda, you need to tell
us something, don't you?

It's here, Chief Secretary. The

[17:25] Leshea
Let's go in.

This is bad.
SIGN Urgent Matter: Escape the

SIGN 209 dived globally
SIGN Zero apostles returned
[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.

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

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?
