[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!
