[00:14] Hiroto
If everyone in the world was given a rank,
I wonder where I would place.
[00:22] Hiroto
I probably wouldn't be at the bottom,
but I wouldn't be number one, either.
[00:26] Hiroto
Out of 100 million people,
I'd probably rank around 90 millionth.

[04:38] Hiroto
Her eyes look like rubies.

I, uh, just got to the Island yesterday,

[05:01] Hiroto
Do you know how to get to Eimei Academy?
[05:04] Sarasa
Eimei Academy is in District 4, right?
[05:06] Sarasa
This is District 3.
[05:08] Hiroto
Huh?
[05:10] Sarasa
Eimei Academy is here.
Are you not good at reading maps?
[05:13] Hiroto
I'm sorry.
[05:14] Sarasa
You don't need to apologize.

And you don't need to be so formal.

[05:52] Sarasa
And now you want me to explain it to you?
[05:55] Sarasa
Well, whatever.
[05:57] Sarasa
Can I see your Device a second?
[05:59] Sarasa

SIGN Again this year, 200,000 students have
gambled their futures and started a new
life at Academy Island, several hundred
kilometers to the southeast of Tokyo Bay,
20 years ago, this artificial island was
repurposed by the Saionji Corporation with
the goal of "raising a true class of elites."
The new system introduced under their
direction delivered results far beyond
expectations and produced many talented
graduates. Today, with more than 20
school districts...

[06:14] Sarasa
If you want to take someone's Stars,
you make the request with this. Okay?
[06:20] Hiroto
Uh, thanks.
[06:23] Sarasa
But if you're that bad at reading maps,
[06:25] Sarasa
even with the Device, you might
not make it to where you're going.
[06:29] Sarasa
District 4 is right over there.
[06:31] Sarasa
There's a big plaza,
so I'll take you to the entrance.

In normal staring contests,
you laugh, you lose.
[10:00] Sarasa
In this game, you lose
if you show any reaction.
[10:03] Sarasa
Basically, if you show any emotion at all,
[10:06] Sarasa
it'll be picked up by the sensors,
and you'll lose.

you can make any expression you want.

[14:14] Ichinose
They are. Normal games are.
[14:17] Ichinose
But unfortunately for you,
this one was different.
[14:19] Hiroto
Huh?
[14:20] Ichinose
Listen, kid. What you just did
was break an important taboo.
[14:25] Ichinose
Let's review the situation.
[14:27] Ichinose
On your way here this morning,
you got lost and met a girl.
[14:31] Ichinose
You were so taken by her beauty,
you pretended it was an accident,
[14:35] Ichinose
then sexually harassed her, and tricked her
into playing a game that you somehow won.
[14:40] Hiroto
You make it sound a lot worse than it was,
but that's basically correct.
[14:43] Ichinose
The only real problem was the harassment.
[14:46] Ichinose
Taking Stars from other academy students is
actually quite convenient for Eimei Academy.
[14:50] Hiroto
So there wasn't a problem at all, then.
[14:53] Ichinose
But your opponent was someone special.
[14:56] Ichinose
A second-year high school student
from Ouka Academy in District 3.
[15:00] Ichinose
She achieved the highest
entrance exam score ever,
[15:02] Ichinose
and held the top position as
the only Seven Star on the island.
[15:06] Ichinose
Since enrolling, she has lost zero games.
[15:09] Ichinose
That charming girl you met is
the "Empress," Saionji Sarasa, in the flesh.
[15:15] Hiroto
Saionji? I think I've heard that name before.
[15:18] Ichinose
You probably have.
[15:19] Ichinose
The Saionji family are the
founders of Academy Island.
[15:22] Ichinose
The current head director of
Academy Island is Saionji Masamune.
[15:26] Ichinose
Sarasa is Saionji Masamune's granddaughter.
[15:29] Ichinose
She's a VIP among VIPs.
[15:31] Hiroto
And that's who I beat?
[15:34] Ichinose
Yes. An unimportant little guy like you.
[15:37] Ichinose
A guy with the lowest transfer
exam score ever, barely scraping in.
[15:41] Ichinose
Someone with such a
refreshingly low status.
[15:44] Ichinose
A commoner. An NPC.
[15:46] Hiroto
Okay, okay. I get the picture.
[15:48] Ichinose
A guy like you dominated
Saionji Masamune's granddaughter.
[15:52] Ichinose
That man is a very proud,
strict, merciless individual,
[15:56] Ichinose
and he can be very scary when he's angry.
[16:00] Hiroto
Does this mean I'm expelled?
[16:02] Ichinose
If expelling you would settle it,
you'd already be out the door.
[16:05] Ichinose
That man will do anything to
protect the Saionji family name.
[16:11] Ichinose
But there is still one way to save you.
[16:16] Ichinose
I'll make you a Seven Star.
SIGN Seven Star
[16:20] Hiroto
Huh?
[16:21] Ichinose
What is the most troubling
part of this situation?
[16:25] Ichinose
It's the fact that the Empress, Saionji
Sarasa, was defeated by a commoner.
[16:29] Ichinose
If she was defeated by someone on her level,
Saionji Masamune likely wouldn't be upset.
[16:35] Ichinose
So we'll make you the same level
as her. You'll be a Seven Star.
[16:39] Hiroto
Wait a minute. I'm only a One Star.
[16:41] Hiroto
I couldn't make it to
Seven Star if it killed me!
[16:44] Ichinose
Right! You'd never make it,
not even if it killed you.
[16:48] Ichinose
Because you're such an
unimportant little twerp!
[16:51] Hiroto
I said I get the picture already.
[16:53] Ichinose
But you're very lucky. Check your Device.
[16:56] Ichinose
You just won a game against the Empress.
[16:59] Ichinose
Look at the color of the Star
you stole from her.
[17:02] Hiroto
Wait. Aren't Stars supposed to be white?
[17:04] Ichinose
Yes, but that's no normal Star.
[17:07] Ichinose
Only 10 or 15 special Stars like this one
have been confirmed on the island.
[17:11] Ichinose
The Red Star has a special effect.
[17:14] Ichinose
When you think of the color red,
what comes to mind?
[17:17] Hiroto
Ketchup?
[17:19] Ichinose
Thank you for the surprisingly
cute answer. But that's not it.
[17:23] Ichinose
The Red Unique Star. Its effect is...
[17:26] Ichinose
it allows you to tell one lie about anything.
[17:29] Ichinose
That's what it is.
[17:32] Ichinose
Get it? Aren't lies supposed
to be red by definition?
[17:36] Hiroto
A lie? No way.
[17:37] Ichinose
Yes. Use the lie to buff the data
that says you're a One Star,
[17:42] Ichinose
and you can become a Seven Star.
[17:43] Hiroto
Is that really possible?
[17:46] Ichinose
Yeah. For a long time,
before the Empress held it,
[17:50] Ichinose
that Red Star was in the
possession of the Saionji family.
[17:53] Ichinose
Not many people are aware of its effect.
[17:55] Hiroto
Then, how do you know about it?
[17:57] Ichinose
Because I myself am a
previous holder of the Red Star.
[18:02] Hiroto
So what you're saying is
I have to become a fake Seven Star?
[18:06] Ichinose
Yeah. We'll sell it like:
[18:07] Ichinose
"Transfer student gets record-breaking
test scores, surpassing even the Empress."
[18:11] Ichinose
"A new genius appears."
Something like that.
[18:13] Ichinose
"He even made it to Seven Star
on his very first day!"
[18:18] Ichinose
Of course, you don't have to
follow this plan. The choice is yours.
[18:24] Ichinose
If you don't agree to it, then pack up
your things and leave the island today.
[18:28] Ichinose
I can make it seem like you used
an illegal ability to trick the Empress.
[18:33] Ichinose
But why did you come to the island?
[18:36] Ichinose
Don't you have some important goal?
[18:39] Hiroto
Yes, I do have a goal.
[18:42] Hiroto
There's someone I have to find.
[18:45] Hiroto
I can't accept a bad ending.
[18:47] Ichinose
If you give up now,
you'll probably never see her again.
[18:52] Hiroto
Does that mean I've been set up?
[18:54] Ichinose
No.
[18:55] Ichinose
I hadn't predicted any of this. It's just...
[18:58] Ichinose
I'm a very cunning woman.
[19:01] Ichinose
Whether it's lies or accidents,
I'll take advantage of any opportunity I can.
[19:05] Hiroto
Fine, I understand.
[19:09] Hiroto
So I've gotta be that, right?
The strongest player?

[19:21] Ichinose
"As long as you don't mind getting
crushed and humiliated. Smug!"
[19:26] Hiroto
You're making fun of me.
[19:27] Ichinose
No, no! I'm cheering you on!
[19:31] Ichinose
But that was the perfect psychological scam.
[19:34] Ichinose
You can totally separate your
inner feelings and outward expression.
[19:39] Ichinose
Scouting you for this academy
was the right choice.

Um, so where am I supposed

[19:46] Ichinose
Oh. I arranged a dorm for you.
I'll send the coordinates to your Device.

All right. Looking forward to
your next great performance!
[19:54] Ichinose
"As long as you don't mind

[20:01] Hiroto
Special skill, huh?
[20:06] Sarasa
You know, you gave a wonderful
speech at the ceremony today.
[20:10] Hiroto
How did you know?
[20:11] Sarasa
It was all over Stoc.
[20:13] Hiroto
O-Oh.
[20:14] Sarasa
So, what exactly are you after?
[20:16] Sarasa
You found my weakness
and put yourself in the spotlight,
[20:19] Sarasa
but you still haven't told anyone my secret.
[20:21] Sarasa
What's going on? You trying to get even more
attention before you absolutely crush me?
[20:26] Sarasa
Spare me. Please stop, I'm begging you.
[20:30] Sarasa
I know I'm being really selfish,
but I have my own reasons.
[20:37] Sarasa
My own reasons to keep
this lie up, no matter what.
[20:40] Sarasa
So I'm begging you. Don't tell anyone.
[20:43] Sarasa
I'll do anything you ask. Just don't do that.
[20:46] Hiroto
Uh, actually...
[20:48] Hiroto
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[20:50] Sarasa
Quit playing dumb!
[20:51] Sarasa
I'm being serious here. Stop joking around.
[20:54] Sarasa
I'm sure you know by now that I'm...
[20:58] Sarasa
not actually Saionji Sarasa.
[21:01] Hiroto
Huh?
[21:04] Sarasa
Don't "Huh?" me!
[21:06] Sarasa
Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I'm not Sarasa.
[21:10] Sarasa
I've been acting as her double at the
academy for the last year. I'm Akabane Rina.
[21:14] Sarasa
I've been winning games for a year,
knowing that if I lose, my secret gets out.
[21:19] Sarasa
But then today, I lost to you.
[21:22] Sarasa
You took the Red Star from me.
[21:25] Sarasa
So you must know the truth now.
[21:27] Hiroto
So the Red Star carries
that penalty, too, huh?
[21:30] Sarasa
A-Are you still playing dumb?
[21:33] Sarasa
In exchange for being able to tell one lie,
[21:36] Sarasa
the next person to get it finds out
what that lie was. You must know that.
[21:40] Sarasa
After all, you're the holder
of the Red Star now.
[21:44] Hiroto
Listen, Akabane... I mean, Saionji.
You've got it all wrong.
[21:50] Sarasa
Huh?
[21:51] Hiroto
Until you told me just now,
I didn't know anything about your lie.
[21:54] Hiroto
I really just came to the island yesterday,
and I still can't even use the Device right.
[22:00] Hiroto
This is the first I've heard of the
Red Star having any disadvantage.
[22:03] Sarasa
But that can't be true!
[22:05] Sarasa
You beat me and became a Seven Star, right?
[22:08] Hiroto
Yeah, I guess that's how it looks.
[22:11] Hiroto
But I'm not actually a real Seven Star.
[22:14] Sarasa
Huh?

That's the lie I'm telling.

I only have the Red Star I took
from you. I'm the lowest rank.

[22:38] Sarasa
So wait, you're not the

you really did win our game by accident,

Yeah, that's right. That's about it.
[22:48] Sarasa
No way. So that means I...
did this to myself?
[22:54] Hiroto
Hold on. She's a double,
not the real Empress.
[22:59] Hiroto
So she isn't the daughter
of the Saionji family.
[23:02] Hiroto
So even though I beat her,

from the conventional meaning.
[02:34] Shirayuki
I will live and sleep in this house,

[02:38] Hiroto
S-Sleep here?!
[02:39] Shirayuki
I apologize if this spoils your expectations,
but we have separate bedrooms.
[02:44] Hiroto
My expecta—
It still seems bad either way.
[02:48] Hiroto
I guess it's okay if you don't mind,
but I figured you might not like—
[02:52] Shirayuki
I do not like this at all.
[02:53] Hiroto
So you don't like it after all!
[02:56] Shirayuki
But that is simply because I am
not used to being around boys.
[02:59] Shirayuki
The true object of my hate
is Headmistress Ichinose.
[03:03] Hiroto
Ah. I don't know what that's
all about, but I think I can relate.

What a coincidence. I have a feeling
you and I may be able to get along, Master.

Hey, why don't you sit down, too?
[03:15] Shirayuki
Oh, please do not worry
about me. I am your maid.
[03:20] Hiroto
Well, you're making me nervous.
[03:22] Hiroto
If the Headmistress requested it,
we're in the same boat.
[03:24] Hiroto
No need to put me on a pedestal.
[03:26] Shirayuki
Well, all right.
If that is what you prefer, Master.
[03:32] Hiroto
So you called yourself an "assistant."
Guess that means you aren't just a housemaid.
[03:36] Shirayuki
I see.
[03:38] Shirayuki
Master, are you hungry at all right now?
[03:41] Hiroto
Huh?
[03:44] Shirayuki
Here you are.
[03:45] Hiroto
A-Am I supposed to eat this all by myself?
[03:48] Shirayuki
Yes. I may have made
a little more than necessary.
[03:51] Hiroto
This isn't just a "little more."
[03:53] Hiroto
Are you going to eat some?
[03:55] Shirayuki
I will dine after you, Master.
[03:57] Hiroto
No, no, no! We've got all this food.
Have some while it's warm.
[04:01] Shirayuki
If you insist, Master.
[04:03] Hiroto
Okay, thanks for the food.
[04:07] Hiroto
Th-This is great! But seriously?
This is too delicious!
[04:10] Hiroto
It's too good to have been
made by human hands!
[04:13] Shirayuki
When you put it that way,
it feels like I have been disrespected.
[04:16] Hiroto
If I had the vocabulary for it,
I'd shower you with praise for hours!
[04:20] Shirayuki
Master, you seem quite
open about your feelings.
[04:24] Hiroto
Huh? Yeah, I guess so.
[04:26] Shirayuki
I had heard that you are exceedingly
skilled at hiding your true feelings.
[04:30] Hiroto
Hmm. But I can be almost too blunt
when I know I can let my guard down.
[04:35] Shirayuki
Let your guard down?
[04:37] Hiroto
Yeah. Nothing I've seen so far
makes me think you're a bad person.
[04:41] Shirayuki
Is that so?
[04:44] Shirayuki
Is there any food you do not like?
[04:46] Hiroto
Nah, I can eat anything.

These academies get ranked
and scored every year.
SIGN Ouka Academy

[05:28] Shirayuki
The academies are given a number
of benefits based on their ranking.
[05:33] Hiroto
Huh. Do the students' Stars
have anything to do with it?
[05:36] Shirayuki
Indeed they do.
[05:38] Shirayuki
Students with five or more Stars are
generally considered to be advanced.
[05:41] Shirayuki
The more advanced students an
academy has, the higher it ranks,
[05:44] Shirayuki
and if it has a Seven Star student,
it will almost certainly end up top.
[05:48] Hiroto
No wonder the headmistress
is super on board with that.
[05:52] Shirayuki
And that is exactly why the Seven Stars
get targeted by everyone on the island.
[05:57] Hiroto
I can see why. If a Six Star beats me,
they take my place at the top.
[06:02] Hiroto
Even so, don't we bet
our own Stars in games?
[06:05] Shirayuki
Yes.
[06:05] Shirayuki
However, the returns are very large, so if
there is even a small chance of winning,
[06:10] Shirayuki
it may be worth knowingly taking the risk.
[06:12] Shirayuki

[06:25] Hiroto
Wh-Why do you say that?
[06:26] Shirayuki
Your score on the transfer exam.
[06:30] Shirayuki
A score so outstandingly pathetic,
it is unbearable to look at.
[06:34] Shirayuki
Most schools would have said no.
[06:36] Shirayuki
I apologize if that seems rude.
[06:38] Shirayuki
At any rate, your true rank
is One Star, Master.
[06:41] Shirayuki
In games, you are only able to
use abilities at a One Star level.
[06:46] Hiroto
Those are the weakest, right?
[06:48] Shirayuki
Yes. You'll basically be fighting
boss battles as a level one player.
[06:53] Hiroto
Oh, I get it. So you're going to
assist me by helping me win games?
[06:57] Shirayuki
That is correct. Listen carefully.

All right! He's cool with it!

Wow, she's really in her own world.
[08:45] Shirayuki
As you can tell,
Kagaya-san can be quite a pain,
[08:48] Shirayuki
but as a hacker, she is a real go-getter.
[08:50] Shirayuki
Kagaya-san will hack into your opponent's
Device and control it to our advantage.
[08:56] Shirayuki
In other words, Master, if you do
not draw attention to the hacking,
[09:00] Shirayuki
you can easily win by
simply acting naturally.
[09:03] Hiroto
Th-That's it? Even if I'm not directly
involved, it's still pretty sneaky.
[09:08] Shirayuki
Well, of course it is sneaky.
[09:10] Shirayuki
Third parties entering
a game is against the rules.
[09:13] Shirayuki
Accessing someone else's
Device is also prohibited.
[09:15] Shirayuki
It is an instant ban, but we can
use that to our advantage.
[09:19] Shirayuki
The Company would never
botch something like this.
[09:22] Hiroto
That's so devious, it's almost chilling.
[09:25] Ichinose
But why did you come to the island?
[09:28] Ichinose
Don't you have some important goal?
[09:32] Hiroto
That's why I'm gonna make this work.
[09:36] Hiroto
I'll cheat or do whatever I have to.
I've made up my mind to be the strongest.
[09:44] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, way to go!
[09:47] Kagaya
When I hack in and control the game,
you're totally gonna win!
[09:54] Hiroto
I-I really... won the game!
[09:58] Shirayuki
Was that all right, Mast—
[09:59] Hiroto
It was more than all right!
It was awesome!

[10:09] Hiroto
I sure do. I totally believe in you now!
[10:11] Hiroto
I'm really gonna rely on you.
Let's make this work.
[10:14] Shirayuki
V-Very well.
[10:15] Shirayuki
Honestly, your performance was also better
than expected, Master. It was impressive.
[10:20] Shirayuki
Well, then. It is about time
you headed to campus.
[10:22] Hiroto
Yeah.
[10:25] Tatara
Can I call you Shinohara-kun?
[10:27] Tatara
My name's Tatara Fuuka.
I'm 2-A's class president.
[10:30] Tatara
I can answer any questions
you have, Shinohara-kun.
[10:33] Tatara
Like what to eat in the cafeteria.
[10:35] Tsuji
I don't think that's really
so important, Tatara-san.
[10:38] Tatara
What? You don't?
[10:40] Tsuji
I'm Tsuji Yuuki. Nice to meet you.
[10:42] Hiroto
Yeah.
[10:43] Hiroto
I was a little surprised the class held a
tournament to decide who'd show me around.

[10:52] Tsuji
Yeah, they are.
It's the headmistress's policy.
[10:55] Tsuji
Eimei has ranked in the top five for the
last few years and is really competitive.
[11:01] Tsuji
The students are stoked
for the games, too.
[11:03] Tatara
Oh, right! Snack shopping

[11:09] Shirayuki
Please excuse the interruption, Master.
[11:12] Shirayuki
We have received a very
favorable game request.
[11:15] Shirayuki
The challenger's name is Urasaka Haru.
She's a third-year student from District 11.
[11:22] Hiroto
Oh, boy. Looks like life's gonna get real busy.
[11:29] Suzuran
Hi, everybody!
Thanks for waiting, meow!
[11:32] Suzuran
We're about to jump into
today's main event, but before that...
[11:36] Suzuran
It's self-introduction time!
[11:39] Suzuran
From the official
Academy Island group, Libra,
[11:42] Suzuran
I'm a second-year student at Ouka
Academy, Kazami Suzuran. Meow!
[11:45] Shirayuki
Libra is a media organization
that manages the news app LNN,
[11:48] Shirayuki
the streaming video app ITube,
[11:50] Shirayuki
as well as arranging
large events for some games.
[11:53] Suzuran
First up is the challenger,
Urasaka Haru-senpai.
[11:57] Suzuran
Ranked Three Stars, her hobbies
include road trips and visual kei bands!
[12:00] Urasaka
'Sup.
[12:03] Suzuran
And the one meeting her challenge...
[12:05] Suzuran
is the blood-soaked overlord who's rocked
Academy Island like an earthquake.
[12:08] Hiroto
Who's she even talking about?
[12:10] Suzuran
You all know him.
The fastest ever to reach Seven Stars.
[12:13] Suzuran
The ruthlessly cunning, fearlessly
outrageous, proudly arrogant new face,
[12:16] Suzuran
Shinohara Hiroto-kun, meow!
[12:20] Suzuran
Okay, Shinohara-kun,
you pumped up and ready, meow?
[12:22] Hiroto
Pumped up? Why would I need to be?
[12:25] Hiroto
I'm obviously going to win.
[12:27] Suzuran
Wow! He's cool, calm, and confident!
[12:31] Hiroto
Ah! That line's gonna haunt me!
I keep sounding so arrogant!
[12:36] Suzuran
Now to introduce
today's special guest, meow.
[12:40] Sarasa
Thanks for the introduction.
I'm Saionji Sarasa.
[12:45] Sarasa
That certainly was some
amusing lip service.
[12:48] Sarasa
Are we all ready to have
some fun watching this match?
[12:54] Suzuran
So there you have it.
[12:55] Suzuran
I, Kazami Suzuran,
[12:57] Suzuran
and my classmate, Ouka's ace, Saionji
Sarasa, will provide the analysis, meow.
[13:03] Suzuran
Okay, Urasaka-senpai. Go ahead
and say the name of the game, meow.
[13:07] Urasaka
Right. The game I choose is...
[13:10] Urasaka
The "anything goes" 100m race...
[13:15] Urasaka
Sturm und Drang!
SIGN Sturm und Drang
[13:16] Hiroto
From start to finish, any transportation
method is allowed, huh?
[13:21] Urasaka
I'm confident you'll never beat me for speed.
[13:25] Hiroto
Really? What a coincidence. I'm confident
I'll never lose, whatever the game.
[13:30] Suzuran
Neither is backing down, meow!
[13:32] Hiroto
A-Am I really doing this right?
[13:35] Urasaka
Yeah. Well, just so you know...
[13:37] Urasaka
I don't just like riding bikes.
I like working on 'em, too.
[13:44] Suzuran
Whoa, she's bringing out a real big hitter!
[13:47] Suzuran
No bike like this has been recorded
in Urasaka-senpai's battle history.
[13:50] Sarasa
It must be Urasaka-senpai's secret weapon.
[13:53] Sarasa
Vehicle performance is
the key to winning this game.
[13:56] Sarasa
A performance-boosting ability alone
won't be enough to take that bike on.
[14:00] Sarasa
What might work is an ability
that obstructs the opponent.
[14:04] Sarasa
No matter what kind of
vehicle Shinohara uses...
[14:08] Suzuran
Shinohara-kun, are you seriously trying
to beat a motorcycle on foot, meow?
[14:12] Suzuran
This is an "anything goes" speed race.
What are you thinking, meow?
[14:16] Hiroto
M-My heart's gonna explode!
[14:18] Shirayuki
Urasaka-senpai's main ability
is Remove Speed Limit.

[14:25] Shirayuki
Next is Acceleration,
and in the third spot is Safety Device.
[14:29] Shirayuki
This ability affects the other systems and
finds the optimal way to protect the user.
[14:34] Hiroto
If this goes as expected,
she won't use a defensive ability,
[14:37] Hiroto
so my interference shouldn't be blocked.
[14:39] Urasaka
It's too late to change 'em now,
so I'll let you in on something.
[14:42] Urasaka
I'm using the Nullify Interference ability.
SIGN Nullify
Interference
[14:45] Urasaka
It's a defensive ability that nullifies
any interference by the opponent.
[14:49] Urasaka
I bet you picked obstructive
abilities in all three slots, Shinohara.
[14:54] Urasaka
But they're all worthless now.
[14:58] Hiroto
Let's get this started, Senpai.
[15:02] Suzuran
All right, everyone! We've kept
you waiting long enough, meow!
[15:05] Suzuran
Sturm und Drang! Who will
reach the finish line first, meow?
[15:08] Suzuran
It'll be over in an instant!
Don't even blink!
[15:12] Suzuran
Three.
[15:13] Suzuran
Two.
[15:14] Suzuran
One.
[15:15] Suzuran
Boom!
[15:38] Hiroto
Come on, guys.
[15:40] Hiroto
Did you really think a Seven Star like me
wouldn't see through her strategy?
[15:45] Suzuran
Wh-What does that mean, meow?

[16:01] Hiroto
O-Oh, right. But for all three?
[16:04] Shirayuki
At your true level, Master, one Level 3
obstructive ability will not be sufficient.
[16:09] Shirayuki
We make up for it with redundancies.
[16:11] Hiroto
But isn't that overdoing it?
[16:13] Hiroto
If we know their plan,
we can pick the best ones and...
[16:16] Hiroto
Oh, right!
[16:17] Shirayuki
You understand now.
[16:19] Shirayuki
As long as the Company is on your side,
you need not worry about balancing.
[16:23] Shirayuki
As long as our external
interference is effective,
[16:25] Shirayuki
we can do whatever we need by hacking.
[16:27] Shirayuki
In this game, Master,
your only chance of losing...
[16:30] Shirayuki
was with Nullify Interference.

It's too bad I didn't get
to see you humiliated,
[17:19] Sarasa
but I'm glad you didn't lose.
[17:21] Sarasa

listening for a while?
[17:41] Hiroto
I have something I'd like to keep private.
[17:44] Shirayuki
Is that an order?
[17:47] Hiroto
It's a request. Please.
[17:49] Shirayuki
Well, if you insist, Master.
[17:51] Hiroto
Sorry. Thanks.
[17:53] Shirayuki
All right. You know, I am a
very perceptive maid, Master.
[17:56] Shirayuki
You may be exploiting your popularity to
secretly meet a student from another school.
[18:01] Hiroto
I'm not! Please don't tease me!
[18:03] Shirayuki
That was a joke.
[18:03] Shirayuki
Well, then. I shall disable the monitoring.
[18:07] Shirayuki
Please be very careful.
[18:12] Sarasa
You're late, dummy.
[18:14] Hiroto
I-It wasn't my fault! This place is
too hard to find for newbies.
[18:17] Hiroto
Is it a mafia hideout?
[18:19] Hiroto
It's a miracle I even found it.
But I came right away, like you asked.
[18:23] Sarasa
Oh, you're just full of excuses, aren't you?
[18:26] Sarasa
Why not keep jabbering on
and tell me your life story?
[18:29] Hiroto
You don't exactly hold back, either.
[18:31] Hiroto
Was the prim, proper, and cute
princess the first day all an act?
[18:34] Sarasa
Uh, cute? I-I can't leave the real Sarasa
with a bad reputation when she comes back.
[18:40] Hiroto
So what's all this stuff about you
being a double for the real Sarasa?
[18:44] Sarasa
Okay. I'll tell you.
[18:47] Sarasa
But this stays between us.
Just like your secret.
[18:50] Hiroto
All right.
[18:52] Sarasa
The real Sarasa was kidnapped.
[18:54] Hiroto
Kidnapped?
SIGN Kidnapped
[18:57] Sarasa
It happened a little over a year ago,
just before I entered Ouka.
[19:01] Sarasa
But the kidnapper didn't have any demands.
[19:04] Sarasa
I was in Sarasa's friend group, so in order to
see what move the kidnapper would make,
[19:08] Sarasa
I was asked to take her place.
[19:10] Hiroto
"Friend group"? What does that mean?
[19:12] Sarasa
Children of the Saionji family almost never
go outside until they get into high school.
[19:17] Sarasa
Teachers and friends
are provided for them.
[19:19] Sarasa
I was chosen because I was such
a fantastically talented and sweet girl.
[19:23] Hiroto
I could think of a good comeback to that.
[19:25] Sarasa
So nobody knew Sarasa's real face.
[19:28] Sarasa
It was easy for the Saionji family
to get someone to take her place.
[19:32] Sarasa
I don't know when she'll come back,
[19:34] Sarasa
but until that day, I have to
protect Saionji Sarasa's reputation.
[19:39] Sarasa
That's why I want you to help me.
[19:42] Sarasa
If people find out I'm a fake,
what will happen to the real Sarasa?
[19:46] Hiroto
The situation's a lot worse than I thought,
but I see where you're coming from.

[19:50] Hiroto
You were able to pull that lie off
because of the Red Star.
[19:54] Sarasa
That's right. And if you lose,
my secret gets out.
[19:57] Sarasa
Whoever holds the Red Star
can see the entire record of lies.
[20:02] Hiroto
So if I lose, your lies will be exposed, too.
[20:05] Sarasa
And if people find out I'm not the
true daughter of the Saionji family,
[20:09] Sarasa
the Eimei Headmistress won't have
a reason to protect you anymore.
[20:12] Sarasa
Not if the girl you beat was
actually me, Akabane Rina.
[20:16] Hiroto
If that happens, I won't be
able to stay on the Island.
[20:19] Sarasa
Why are you worried about that?
Is it that important you stay?
[20:23] Hiroto
Yeah, it is.
[20:25] Sarasa
Why?
[20:26] Hiroto
Well, you see, I'm looking for someone.
[20:28] Hiroto
A childhood friend I haven't seen in years.
[20:31] Hiroto
I'm sure she's on this island.
[20:33] Hiroto
So, until I find her,
I can't let myself get kicked out.
[20:39] Sarasa
In that case...
[20:40] Hiroto
There's only one way. I have to
pull off the lie that I'm the strongest.
[20:44] Sarasa
I'd rather not admit it,
but as long as you keep winning...
[20:48] Hiroto
My lie and your lie will be protected.
[20:51] Sarasa
I guess we've formed an alliance.
[20:55] Sarasa
Do you want to exchange IDs
so we can stay in touch?

[05:09] Sarasa
So if you go to a location with your Device,
you collect the corresponding card, right?
[05:15] Shirayuki
That is correct, Miss Rina.
[05:17] Hiroto
Okay, so what's the second phase?

[05:23] Shirayuki
One by one, you choose a card you obtained,
and the card with the higher number wins.
[05:28] Shirayuki
Though it is limited to a five-card hand.
[05:30] Hiroto
So to win, you need at least three points.
[05:34] Shirayuki
Yes. And I must explain one other
thing before we discuss strategy.
[05:39] Shirayuki
In the past,
[05:40] Shirayuki
there have been many games with level gaps,
like your Five Star versus One Star game,
[05:43] Shirayuki
but there is no record of
a One Star ever winning.
[05:47] Hiroto
Not even one?
[05:49] Hiroto
Even though Academy Island's
been around for 20 years?
[05:52] Sarasa
It's just like Yuki said.
[05:54] Sarasa
Shinohara, do you remember the ability I used
in our first game, Numerical Adjustment?
[05:59] Hiroto
Yeah. The one that reduced my turn
to 1/10th the normal time.
[06:02] Sarasa
It allows you to mess with
numerical values in a game.
[06:06] Sarasa
So even though the largest value
you can get here is 19,
[06:08] Sarasa
at Kugasaki's rank,
he can increase that to 30.
[06:11] Hiroto
W-Wait, 30?!
[06:12] Shirayuki
Typically, the lower-ranked student
is allowed to finalize the game settings.
[06:18] Hiroto
But I have to forfeit that.
[06:20] Shirayuki
To be blunt, you do not even
have a 1% chance of winning.
[06:24] Hiroto
So 100% chance I'll lose?
[06:27] Hiroto
But that can't be right, is it?
[06:28] Shirayuki
Correct. The trick to winning this game
is in the collection phase.
[06:33] Shirayuki
You can obstruct Kugasaki-sama's
movements to buy time
[06:36] Shirayuki
and assemble a hand that will win
even if Numerical Adjustment is used.
[06:40] Sarasa
If he comes into the reveal phase
fully prepared,
[06:43] Sarasa
it's checkmate for you.
[06:46] Sarasa
Kugasaki always uses the
Emergency Mobilization ability.
[06:50] Shirayuki
Of course, it's fundamentally forbidden
for third parties to get involved in a game,
[06:54] Shirayuki
but those summoned with Emergency
Mobilization are treated as players
[06:57] Shirayuki
and can even contribute one ability.
[07:00] Sarasa
And Kugasaki leads the Self-Made Holy
Knight Brigade that has over 300 members.
[07:04] Hiroto
So basically, he can bring something
like 300 people into the game?
[07:08] Sarasa
But this third ability is one
you can ignore.
[07:11] Hiroto
Oh, really?
[07:12] Sarasa
You saw Kugasaki use the
Indigo Star's ability, remember?
[07:16] Hiroto
Oh. Right.
[07:19] Hiroto
That one with all the smoke and lightning.
[07:23] Hiroto
Is that the one called "Black Wings"?
[07:25] Sarasa
Ever since he got that colored star,
he's never disabled that ability.
[07:30] Sarasa
Kugasaki's ability selection will be
Numerical Adjustment and Black Wings.
[07:34] Sarasa
Plus, something like
Emergency Mobilization.
[07:38] Hiroto
So what would you do, Saionji?
[07:41] Sarasa
I'd probably use Manipulate Location
Coordinates to rewrite Device coordinates.
[07:45] Hiroto
Manipulate Location Coordinates?
SIGN Manipulate Location Coordinates
SIGN Manipulate Location Coordinates
[07:47] Sarasa
It makes the Device think
you're at a card's location,
[07:50] Sarasa
so you can pick up numbers
without going to them.
[07:52] Hiroto
Th-That's an actual ability?
[07:54] Sarasa
You can only install it
if you're Five Stars or above.

[07:58] Sarasa
Another idea might be the Explore ability
to look up all card locations at the start.
[08:04] Hiroto
But District 4's so big,
that probably wouldn't be realistic.
[08:08] Hiroto
Say, Himeji.
[08:09] Hiroto
Are there any One Star abilities
that may prove handy in this game?
[08:14] Shirayuki
In this case, I wonder if
Display Bug might be appropriate.
[08:18] Hiroto
I see. That one makes the
opponent's Device screen glitch out.
[08:22] Shirayuki
For the second slot, the Luck ability
might help to even the odds.
[08:26] Shirayuki
It improves the chances of
higher-numbered cards appearing closer.
[08:30] Hiroto
And I guess Numerical
Adjustment in the last slot.
[08:33] Shirayuki
This may be presumptuous, but since
the true battle is in the collection phase,
[08:37] Shirayuki
I question if it will be effective.
[08:39] Hiroto
True. But maybe we can
think of it as insurance.
[08:42] Shirayuki
Very well.
[08:45] Hiroto
Numerical Adjustment,
Luck, and Display Bug.
[08:47] Hiroto
With what I can use now,
that's probably the best strategy I have.
[08:56] Hiroto
Why have you been avoiding her?
[08:59] Shirayuki
Actually, Rina is the one
who has been avoiding me.
[09:03] Hiroto
"Rina"? Kinda informal.
[09:05] Shirayuki
I used to see her every day.
She was my closest companion.
[09:10] Hiroto
Why, then?
[09:12] Shirayuki
I think Rina may be hiding something
from me and the Saionji family.
[09:18] Shirayuki
I wish for you to protect her, Master.
[09:22] Shirayuki
She is actually quite a fragile girl.

[10:08] Hiroto
Oh. It looks like Kugasaki
has already picked up the 5.
[10:12] Shirayuki
He may have been lucky
and started close to it.
[10:15] Shirayuki
But he likely knows about the Display Bug
by now. I wonder how he will proceed.
[10:21] Hiroto
Himeji, what's wrong?
[10:23] Shirayuki
Um, it appears Kugasaki-sama
just picked up his second card.
[10:27] Hiroto
Huh?
[10:28] Hiroto
That's strange. The number of cards
displayed hasn't changed yet.
[10:32] Shirayuki
He likely picked up a card with a number
and coordinates as yet unrevealed.
[10:37] Hiroto
Wait. Does that mean
he's using the Explore ability?
[10:40] Hiroto
If he knew the locations from the start,
[10:42] Hiroto
picking up a card that hasn't
been revealed yet makes sense.
[10:45] Hiroto
But if you don't know the card's value,
going to it would waste time.
[10:50] Hiroto
Wait, did he ditch
Numerical Adjustment—
[10:52] Kugasaki
Oh? Looks like you have
some game sense, after all.
[10:55] Hiroto
Kugasaki? How did you...
You don't know what my ID is.
[11:00] Kugasaki
The Black Wings ability is useful
for more than just stage effects.
[11:04] Kugasaki
I can use it to transmit
my voice from far away.
[11:08] Hiroto
Huh. If you're just calling
to brag, I'll hang up.

Let me impart some wisdom on you.
[11:14] Kugasaki
You are making a fundamental mistake.
[11:16] Hiroto

At this rate, the game will end
in absolute victory to me.

going for five minutes.

And why did the other mystery card disappear?
[11:48] Hiroto

[11:51] Hiroto
So the card whose value
was unknown so far...
[11:54] Shirayuki
...has just been revealed to be the 10?

[11:56] Hiroto
It looked like I wasn't getting new info,
but that was it! That was the reveal!
[12:01] Hiroto

the card locations and picking them all up.
[12:05] Hiroto
At this rate, I'll never get any new info.

and the police have mobilized to stop them.

Shinohara!
[22:06] Sarasa
Jeez. You aren't supposed to
sneak out of your hospital room.
[22:10] Hiroto
Yo. Come to check on me?
[22:11] Sarasa
N-No! I was just passing and remembered
I had something to say to you.
[22:18] Hiroto
Something to say?
[22:19] Sarasa
First of all, about your skill.
[22:22] Sarasa
You've been hiding your
true abilities, haven't you?
[22:24] Sarasa
If I'd been in your place,
I don't know if I could've won that game.
[22:29] Hiroto
And what else?
[22:30] Sarasa
Huh?
[22:30] Hiroto
"First of all" means
there's something else, right?
[22:33] Sarasa
Yeah...
[22:34] Sarasa
The other thing is, like, after I told you
the real Sarasa hadn't been kidnapped,
[22:40] Sarasa
you suddenly got motivated.
[22:42] Hiroto
Hm? Well, I guess you're right there.
[22:45] Sarasa
Well, about that...
[22:46] Sarasa
What was all that about?
The "my type" stuff.
[22:50] Hiroto
Okay, sure. Got it.
[22:53] Hiroto
Himeji says I can head on home.
[22:55] Hiroto
Oh, my bad. Um, what were you saying?
[22:57] Sarasa
I didn't say a thing.
[23:01] Hiroto
H-Hey! Hey! I'm wounded here!
[23:04] Sarasa
Yeah, right. A wounded person
lounging around on the roof?
[23:08] Sarasa
Not just your injuries...
[23:11] Sarasa
Your lie also didn't get out and
you weren't kicked off the island.
[23:16] Sarasa
I'm really glad it all worked out.
[23:20] Hiroto
Who do you think I am?
[23:22] Hiroto
I'm the Seven Star,
the strongest on the island.
[23:28] Hiroto
That wasn't much of a tight spot for me.
[23:35] Sarasa
You really are a big fat liar.

[00:00] Shirayuki
It is nice to see you, Sly Fox-sama.
[00:03] Ichinose
Oh, come on. Do you think you can just add
"sama" to anything and it'll sound polite?
[00:08] Shirayuki
What exactly do you want today?
[00:10] Ichinose
Frosty as always, I see.
[00:12] Ichinose
I wanted to talk to you about something.
[00:15] Ichinose
Shirayuki, I have a question for you.
[00:17] Ichinose
Your master, Shinohara Hiroto,
has played four games so far.
[00:22] Ichinose
What rank do you think he is right now?
[00:25] Shirayuki
He cannot gain stars while
pretending to be a Seven Star,
[00:29] Shirayuki
so isn't he only a One Star?
[00:32] Ichinose
Wrong.
[00:33] Ichinose
Shinohara Hiroto's actual rank is Two Star.
[00:37] Shirayuki
Why is that?
[00:39] Ichinose
You know how the Unique Stars work, correct?
[00:42] Ichinose
When the holder of a Unique Star loses
a game, that star is always taken from them.
[00:47] Shirayuki
Yes.
[00:48] Ichinose
In the last game, he defeated the holder of
the Indigo Star: the Phoenix, Kugasaki Seiran.
[00:55] Ichinose
Shinohara is a false Seven Star.
He cannot gain any more stars.
[00:59] Ichinose
Yet he was still required to take the
Indigo Unique Star that Kugasaki held.
[01:04] Ichinose
In a case like that, a normal star would
usually be replaced by the Unique Star.
[01:09] Shirayuki
I see. Which means...
[01:11] Ichinose
Exactly. In Shinohara's case,
that wasn't possible.
[01:15] Ichinose
He already held one colored Star.
He didn't have any normal Stars.
[01:20] Ichinose
In a very unusual case like that,
the winner receives an extra Unique Star.
[01:25] Ichinose
So Shinohara is now "double-colored."
He has the Red Star and the Indigo Star.
SIGN Shinohara Hiroto
[01:30] Ichinose
If he keeps defeating
players with Unique Stars,
SIGN Shinohara Hiroto
[01:33] Ichinose
he'll eventually become
an "all-color" Seven Star.
[01:38] Ichinose
He's played four, won four, and two of those
were against the Empress and the Phoenix.

Were you aware he had such skills when
you brought my master to Academy Island?
[01:55] Ichinose
What do you think?
[01:57] Ichinose
Well, it was at least obvious he was worth
more than his transfer exam scores showed.
[02:01] Shirayuki
"Worth"? Are you trying to use my master?
[02:03] Ichinose
Oh, certainly. I am using him
to fulfill my own ambitions.
[02:08] Ichinose
Shinohara must already
realize that himself.
[02:11] Ichinose
We're using each other, you see.
[02:13] Ichinose
Shinohara has a reason to stay on this island,
and I have my own reasons for needing him.
[02:17] Ichinose
See? Our interests overlap.
[02:20] Shirayuki
You're using each other?
[02:22] Ichinose
However, things may not
go this smoothly forever.
[02:26] Ichinose
If he keeps gaining stars,
he'll face greater and greater danger.
[02:29] Ichinose
And when that happens, what will you do?
[02:33] Shirayuki
You need not worry about that.
[02:35] Shirayuki
I will stay by my master's side,
no matter what happens.

My name is Himeji Shirayuki.
[04:17] Shirayuki
Until very recently, I was enrolled
in Ouka Academy in District 3,
[04:22] Shirayuki
but due to circumstances,
I have been transferred to Eimei Academy.
[04:28] Shirayuki
I am shy around new people and
I especially have trouble talking to boys,
[04:32] Shirayuki
so I apologize if I appear rude at times,
[04:35] Shirayuki
but I assure you,
it does not mean I dislike you.
[04:38] Shirayuki
I would be grateful if
you could be patient with me.

She's so cute!

All right, settle down.
[04:49] Nana
I have one more announcement to make today.
[04:52] Nana
It's about Eimei Academy's
traditional campus competition event.
SIGN 8:00 am — 5:00 pm
SIGN All students are
required to participate
SIGN All-Campus Elimination Battle
SIGN April 25 (Mon) —
April 29 (Fri)
[04:56] Nana
The All-Campus Elimination
Battle begins next week.
[04:59] Nana
All students will participate in mock games
using the special Trial command.
[05:06] Nana
In Trial games, Stars will not be exchanged.
[05:09] Nana
Also, you can challenge
anyone, regardless of rank.
[05:14] Nana
However, if you lose, you're out.
[05:16] Nana
It's a survival contest that ends
when only one is left standing.
[05:20] Nana
The event will also decide who competes
in the inter-academy contest next month.
[05:25] Nana
The top five players will
be chosen to participate.
[05:30] Nana
Whoever lasts the longest
will also get a wonderful reward,
[05:34] Nana
so give it your best shot!
[05:36] Hiroto
Here. This one's for you, Himeji.
[05:39] Shirayuki
Is it really all right to accept this?
[05:41] Shirayuki
After you worked so hard to
acquire this rare chocolate cornet?
[05:44] Hiroto
Totally. After all, it was thanks to your
exploits that I beat that guy.
[05:54] Hiroto
Hey, are you okay?
You don't need to eat in such a rush.
[05:58] Shirayuki
Oh! Excuse me. It is so delicious,
I could not help myself.
[06:03] Shirayuki
The All-Campus Elimination
Battle. In all honesty,
[06:06] Shirayuki
it is full of elements that will be
very disadvantageous to you, Master.
[06:10] Shirayuki
This event works on a principle
called "State of Conflict."
[06:13] Shirayuki
You approach the opponent you want
to challenge and make a Trial request.
[06:18] Shirayuki
The request is accepted automatically,
[06:20] Shirayuki
and you cannot send or receive
other requests until a winner is decided.
SIGN State of Conflict
[06:24] Shirayuki
That is the State of Conflict.
[06:26] Shirayuki
Also, if the State of Conflict continues
for 24 hours without a Trial taking place,
[06:32] Shirayuki
you will be eliminated.
[06:34] Shirayuki
Even though no Stars are exchanged
in this event, you still must not lose.
[06:40] Shirayuki
We should devise a strategy that will
secure your position as the strongest player.
[06:44] Hiroto
It sounds like just running away
would be the best move here.
[06:47] Shirayuki
Yes. If you can maintain a minimum distance
from others, requests cannot be accepted.
[06:53] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, I think someone's coming!
[06:57] Noa
You're Hiroto-kun.
[07:00] Noa
Right?
[07:03] Hiroto
Oh, man!
[07:05] Hiroto
She's really pretty, but also looks
kind of innocent. Like a small animal.
[07:09] Hiroto
And those ponytails suit her perfectly.
[07:12] Noa
Hm? Hey, Hiroto-kun, are you ignoring me?
[07:16] Noa
When a girl this cute starts talking
to you, isn't that kind of mean?
[07:21] Hiroto
Oh, uh, I wasn't trying to ignore you.
[07:23] Noa
Really? Then you must've
been enchanted by my looks.
[07:26] Noa
I guess I can't blame you!
[07:29] Hiroto
So, who are you anyway?
[07:31] Noa
Me? I'm Noa. Akizuki Noa.
Nice to meet you!
[07:36] Noa
I'm a little smaller than everyone else,
[07:38] Noa
but I'm a third-year,
which means I'm your senpai.
[07:42] Noa
Anyway...
[07:46] Noa
You really are strong, Hiroto-kun.
[07:49] Hiroto
Hey, you won a battle for the cornets, too!
[07:53] Noa
Yup! Because I'm so strong, smart, and cute!
[07:58] Hiroto
Ahem. So what did you want?
[08:02] Noa
"Want"? Hm, what do I want?
[08:05] Noa
Well, I guess there is something.
[08:08] Noa
So, are you two going out or what?
[08:11] Hiroto
Me and Himeji, you mean?
[08:13] Hiroto
If so, you've got the wrong idea.
[08:15] Shirayuki
At least for the time being, we are
maintaining a wholesome relationship.
[08:19] Noa
Huh. Okay. I guess not, then.
[08:22] Noa
In that case...
[08:24] Noa
Yay!
[08:26] Hiroto
Huh?
[08:27] Hiroto
Hey, get off me.
[08:29] Noa
Huh? Why?
[08:31] Noa
This is your chance to snuggle
with someone as cute as me!
[08:34] Hiroto
Ah! She smells so sweet!
[08:37] Hiroto
Ow!
[08:39] Hiroto
Get to the point, Akizuki.
[08:41] Noa
Jeez, you're so pushy, Hiroto-kun.
[08:44] Noa
Fine, I will.
[08:46] Noa
It's about the All-Campus
Elimination Battle.
[08:48] Noa
Libra did a survey on it. Who you want to
do a Trial with the most, that kinda thing.
[08:53] Noa
And well, I'm so strong and cute,
I was naturally near the top of the list,
[08:58] Noa
but it looks like you're by far
the most popular, Hiroto-kun.
[09:01] Noa
Did you know?
[09:02] Hiroto
No, I hadn't heard.
[09:04] Noa
Huh. You don't look too interested.
[09:08] Noa
I see. I guess that makes sense.
[09:12] Noa
Well, that's about all.
[09:14] Noa
All right. Bye-bye, Hiroto-kun.
[09:17] Noa
Thanks so much for chatting with me!
[09:22] Shirayuki
Keep your guard up around her.
[09:24] Shirayuki
Akizuki Noa-sama,
nicknamed the Little Devil.
[09:27] Shirayuki
She's one of only three
Six Star students at Eimei.
[09:31] Hiroto
A Six Star? Seriously?
She's really that strong?
SIGN Six Stars
[09:34] Shirayuki
Yes. But in addition to that,
I am getting a very bad feeling about her.
[09:39] Shirayuki
Something monstrous. I am unsure what.
[09:43] Shirayuki
By the way, Master,
is that the type of girl you are into?
[09:47] Hiroto
Huh?
SIGN District 4
SIGN Ichinose Natsume
[09:55] Ichinose
My, my. This has been difficult.
[09:58] Ichinose
In that critical game against Kugasaki,
[10:00] Ichinose
in order to save you, Shirayuki
had to expose herself to the masses.
[10:05] Ichinose
Yet on Academy Island, it's unthinkable to be
supported by a student from another District.
[10:09] Ichinose
In order to smooth things over,
I had to transfer her to Eimei.
[10:13] Ichinose
It was also necessary to recruit her to help
you win the All-Campus Elimination Battle.
[10:19] Ichinose
Do you realize how troublesome it is
to transfer a student on Academy Island?
[10:24] Ichinose
Thanks to you, I got into a lot of trouble.
[10:28] Hiroto
Does that mean you're going to
make me do something for you in return?
[10:31] Ichinose
You're quite perceptive. I don't
dislike that part of you, Shinohara.
[10:36] Ichinose
At the present moment, there are two
very curious things happening on campus.
[10:41] Ichinose
The first involves outside forces sticking
their noses into the upcoming event.
[10:47] Ichinose
They've been setting off alerts
here and there since yesterday.
[10:50] Hiroto
What could they be after?
[10:53] Ichinose
It seems you, the Seven Star,
are their most likely target.
[10:57] Ichinose
You're in a very enviable position.
[10:59] Hiroto
I see. So what's the other thing?
[11:03] Ichinose
This one is even more troublesome.
It has to do with the Unique Stars.
[11:08] Ichinose
Each campus on Academy Island
is issued one Unique Star.
[11:12] Ichinose
Eimei had one, too. The Green Unique Star.
[11:16] Hiroto
"Had"?
[11:17] Ichinose
Yes. It was stolen.

The Green Star. It definitely has
some kind of effect on perception,
[11:34] Ichinose
but the abilities it grants differ
greatly depending on the person.
[11:38] Ichinose
If it's in the hands of someone
who had enough skill to steal it,
[11:42] Ichinose
who knows what might happen?
[11:44] Hiroto
The outsider attacks are one thing, but whoever
took the Unique Star must be a student, right?
[11:49] Ichinose
It isn't clear yet if the
attacks are connected,
[11:51] Ichinose
but there's a definite possibility
it's the same person.
[11:55] Ichinose
I'd like you to help us
to root out the culprit.
[11:59] Ichinose
They will probably take advantage
of the event to come after you.
[12:02] Ichinose
So as long as you stay alive in the game,
they should make the first move.
[12:07] Ichinose
And remember what I just told you?
The culprit holds a Unique Star.
[12:13] Ichinose
The Green Star, which you were supposed
to win in the All-Campus Elimination Battle.
[12:19] Ichinose
You must have some idea
what that means, yes?
[12:23] Hiroto
You're telling me to get it back myself?
[12:27] Ichinose
As such, you have three
missions during this event.
SIGN Find the

Tch.
[13:14] Shirayuki
They left.
[13:16] Hiroto
This is gonna be harder than I thought.
They chase me wherever I go.
[13:19] Shirayuki
The thought of a no-risk game against
a Seven Star must be very appealing.
[13:25] Shirayuki
Indeed, at the moment, I believe
we have no other strategy, Master.
[13:30] Shirayuki
We must disable their ability
to see all participants' locations,
[13:33] Shirayuki
and temporarily block Trial requests
with some kind of basic jamming
[13:38] Shirayuki
so you can hide from them.
[13:41] Shirayuki
In short, you have to keep running away.
[13:47] Shirayuki
If we can get through this extracurricular
lesson, the first day is over.
[13:51] Shirayuki
Just a little longer, Master.
[13:53] Hiroto
Yeah.
SIGN Message from Akizuki Noa
[14:08] Hiroto
Huh?
[14:10] Hiroto
The jamming didn't work!

Please play a Trial game with me!
SIGN Akizuki Noa
SIGN Tee-hee-hee.
SIGN Never mind
[14:20] Hiroto
Did she target me directly?
[14:22] Hiroto
Has this Akizuki girl
seen through our strategy?
[14:25] Tatara
Shinohara-kun?
[14:28] Hiroto
Yeah, I guess I have to,
since you asked.
[14:32] Hiroto
But don't come crying to me when you lose.
[14:37] Hiroto
Ugh. Tatara was really tough.
[14:40] Hiroto
No wonder she's president
of 2-A, the top class.
[14:45] Shirayuki
Master, are you certain it was all
right for me to take my bath first?
[14:50] Hiroto
It's fine.
[14:51] Hiroto
If not for that, you'd change into your maid
uniform all sweaty and go back to working.
[14:55] Shirayuki
I see. Of course, when you
compel me to take a bath, Master,
[14:59] Shirayuki
it makes you come across
as a rather seasoned pervert.
[15:03] Shirayuki
Oh, pardon me.
[15:04] Shirayuki
At any rate, the first day is over.
How did you feel about it, Master?
[15:09] Hiroto
Well, I'm at least relieved that the Device
sensor and basic jamming seem to be working.
[15:14] Hiroto
But since it's an elimination game,
[15:16] Hiroto
the ones left at the end will be
the toughest players, like Akizuki.
SIGN Akizuki Noa
SIGN Tee-hee-hee.
SIGN Never mind
[15:19] Shirayuki
Yes. I am doubtful we will be able to
keep avoiding her until the final day.
[15:24] Shirayuki
For that reason, I have summoned
the Company's Head of Electronics.
[15:28] Kagaya
Here I am!
[15:30] Kagaya
Your big sis, Kagaya,
brought you a little gift.
[15:34] Hiroto
Kagaya-san? In the flesh?
[15:38] Hiroto
Sh-She looks scruffy, but what a babe!
[15:42] Kagaya
How 'bout it?
[15:43] Shirayuki
That logo. Is this from
that new shop in District 17?
[15:48] Shirayuki
Kagaya-san. What were you doing
while we were in deep trouble?
[15:52] Kagaya
Gulp! D-Don't get the wrong idea!
[15:56] Kagaya
I mean, I was still, like, doing support
and programming while waiting in line.
[16:01] Kagaya
That's fine, right?
[16:02] Shirayuki
I never said otherwise.
[16:04] Shirayuki
However, I fail to see why
you had to go all alone.
[16:08] Kagaya
Huh? So you're not mad,
Shirayuki-chan? But you are pouting.
[16:12] Shirayuki
I am not pouting.
[16:13] Kagaya
Huh? Huh? Huh?
[16:15] Kagaya
Hey, are you seeing this, Hiro-kyun?
Isn't she acting, like, super cute?
[16:19] Shirayuki
I-I am not acting cute!
[16:21] Kagaya
Aw, Shirayuki-chan. My bad, my bad!
[16:23] Kagaya
I'll feed one to you. Open up and say "aah"!
[16:26] Shirayuki
Huh? But... I cannot do that
with my master watching.
[16:30] Kagaya
It'll turn Hiro-kyun on, so don't sweat it!
[16:34] Kagaya
See? Here!
[16:37] Kagaya
You always have such pretty hair. Like, swoon.
[16:41] Hiroto
K-Kagaya-san! Is that what you came here for?
[16:44] Kagaya
Oh, yeah, right. I came to
explain something to you.
[16:49] Kagaya
I figured it'd be tough for you to run away
using the programs we already have,
[16:53] Kagaya
so I wrote a new Device ability for
all the worrywart Hiro-kyuns out there.
[16:59] Kagaya
I'll overlap Hiro-kyun's location
data with Shirayuki-chan's.
[17:02] Kagaya
And any requests Hiro-kyun receives
will go to Shirayuki-chan's Device.
[17:06] Kagaya
So, basically, she'll accept them instead!
[17:09] Kagaya
I call it the Scapegoat Technique!
[17:13] Kagaya
This should at least buy you a few days.
[17:16] Kagaya
If it comes down to it,
there is a way to emergency bail, too,
[17:20] Kagaya
but you can only use that once.
[17:22] Hiroto
Yeah, but are you okay with it, Himeji?
[17:26] Shirayuki
If this helps you in some way,
Master, I am very happy to do it.
[17:30] Hiroto
O-Oh, yeah? Then, sure. I guess it's okay.
[17:41] Hiroto
Looks like I don't have to worry.
In that case, I have only one job.
[17:46] Hiroto
I just have to run!
[17:56] Hiroto
Who's there?
[18:03] Shirayuki
We are in trouble, Master!
[18:05] Shirayuki
I received a transmission from Kagaya-san.
[18:07] Shirayuki
She said the All-Campus Elimination Battle
survivors are closing in on your location.
[18:13] Shirayuki
There's 200 of them!
[18:14] Hiroto
What are you saying?
[18:15] Shirayuki
Your coordinates were sent to
everyone simultaneously, Master!
[18:19] Shirayuki
Leave that area right away!
[18:21] Hiroto
Right!
[18:33] Kagaya
But why? There was no signal a second ago!
[18:36] Noa
I guess I bumped into you again, Hiroto-kun.
[18:39] Hiroto
Akizuki? But why?
[18:44] Shirayuki
Master!
[18:51] Noa
You really shouldn't. I know I'm so cute
you'd want to have your way with me,
[18:56] Noa
but I don't like people who use force.
[18:58] Hiroto
Then let me go!
[19:01] Noa
No way! What are you talking about?
[19:04] Noa
I'm just stuck because you've pushed
me down and gotten on top of me.
[19:10] Noa
You can't run away now, can you?
[19:18] Hiroto
Send a Trial request, Himeji!
[19:20] Shirayuki
O-Okay!
[19:27] Noa
Aw, too bad!
[19:30] Noa
And right when we were about
to become a big news scandal.
[19:35] Noa
Oh well. At least I achieved
my number one goal. I guess that's enough.
[19:41] Noa
All right, see you later, Hiroto-kun!
[19:43] Hiroto
Wait, Akizuki! What goal do you mean?
[19:49] Noa
I'm just too cute and silly. How would I know?
[19:55] Shirayuki
I am sorry I could not help.
[19:57] Hiroto
What are you talking about, Himeji?
[19:59] Hiroto
I'm safe, thanks to you.
[20:01] Shirayuki
Thank you very much, Master.
[20:05] Hiroto
What was she after, anyway?
[20:11] Hiroto
Uh, what's this?
[20:14] Shirayuki
A cutlet.
[20:15] Shirayuki
I put my maid's heart and soul into it,
hoping it aids you to be a cut above the rest.
[20:23] Hiroto
Thank you.
[20:24] Shirayuki
I shall prepare it now.
[20:28] Hiroto
What's wrong?
[20:30] Shirayuki
We have no cutlet sauce.
[20:32] Hiroto
Oh. Yeah, we might be out. We should
still have Worcestershire sauce, though?
[20:37] Shirayuki
No. You and I are both on
Team Cutlet Sauce, Master.
[20:40] Shirayuki
My pride will not allow me
to compromise on sauce.
[20:43] Shirayuki
I shall go to the store.
[20:45] Hiroto
Why don't I go instead?
[20:46] Shirayuki
You cannot. It would tarnish my reputation.
[20:55] Hiroto
So Himeji went out, just like that...
[21:02] Hiroto
Something's not right.
SIGN Himeji Shirayuki
[21:08] Hiroto
Hello?
[21:09] Noa
Hiya, Hiroto-kun. Having a good night?
[21:12] Hiroto
Hey. What the hell do
you think you're doing?
[21:15] Noa
Huh? What do you mean?
[21:17] Noa
I just bumped into your little "maid-chan."
[21:20] Hiroto
You'd better not have
done anything to Himeji.
[21:22] Noa
Jeez, you have such a short temper.
[21:25] Noa
Fine. I'll put her on.
[21:28] Noa
Your precious, precious little "maid-chan."
[21:31] Hiroto
Himeji?
[21:33] Shirayuki
Master...
[21:35] Shirayuki
I beg your pardon. I will not
be able to return home today.
[21:39] Hiroto
You can't come home?
Did she do something to you?
[21:42] Shirayuki
Forgive me. I cannot say that, either.
[21:45] Shirayuki
Master, in order to shut out
Trial requests from others,
[21:50] Shirayuki
you and I are now in a
temporary State of Conflict.
[21:54] Hiroto
Right.
[21:55] Shirayuki
And, well...
[21:57] Shirayuki
About that...
[21:59] Shirayuki
I am no longer able to
lose our game tomorrow.

I am no longer able to
lose our game tomorrow.
[00:06] Shirayuki
I am very sorry. You may
punish me any way you wish later.
[00:10] Shirayuki
So I would ask you to please
refrain from trying to win.
[00:15] Noa
So you know she's safe now.
Told you I didn't do anything to her.
[00:18] Noa
Anyway, catch ya tomorrow.
[00:22] Sarasa
I see how it is.
[00:25] Sarasa
So the Little Devil was behind it all.
[00:28] Hiroto
Guess she's famous, huh?
[00:30] Sarasa
Well, with that personality
and being a Six Star, yeah.
[00:33] Sarasa
She has to be one of the
most famous people in Eimei.
[00:37] Sarasa
But I can't forgive her for
kidnapping Yuki like that.
[00:41] Hiroto
Still, it was the perfect strategy.
[00:44] Hiroto
We also don't have proof that
Akizuki's the brains behind it.
[00:47] Hiroto
There might also be someone else.
She's really good at fooling people.
[00:51] Noa
Mnyah!
[00:52] Hiroto
She watches what she says
and won't let anything slip.
[00:55] Sarasa
Wheeling and dealing is
the Little Devil's specialty.
[00:58] Sarasa
Anyway, I don't know how
we're going to win without Yuki.
[01:02] Sarasa
Cheating isn't my thing.
[01:05] Hiroto
That's the problem.
[01:06] Hiroto
I don't know how to contact
the Company, so what should we—
[01:09] Kagaya
I'm hooome!
[01:12] Hiroto
Kagaya-san?
[01:15] Kagaya
Uh-huh, Kagaya-chan.
Dat's me. Probs. Maybe.
[01:19] Kagaya
Huh? What's Hiro-kyun doin' at my place...
[01:25] Hiroto
Nice timing.
[01:27] Kagaya
'Scuse me?
[01:29] Kagaya
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shirayuki-chan's missing?!
[01:33] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, did you force
yourself on Shirayuki-chan?
SIGN A Fighting Chance
in Eyes of Blue
[01:35] Hiroto
No way! She didn't run away.
[01:38] Hiroto
Akizuki probably ambushed her.
She was kidnapped.
[01:41] Kagaya
Oh, how awful!
[01:43] Kagaya
And who's Little Miss Suspicious here?
[01:45] Sarasa
I'm, um... Shinohara's collaborator.
[01:49] Hiroto
Yeah. She's a friend I trust.
[01:51] Sarasa
And the interrogation stops there.
[01:53] Sarasa
Anyway, nice to meet you.
[01:55] Kagaya
Okay, I'll call you Hoodie Girl.
[01:57] Sarasa
W-Well, that's fine, I guess.
[01:59] Hiroto
Anyway, let's get started.
[02:02] Hiroto
We've got to come up with
a strategy to rescue Himeji.
[02:07] Kagaya
Here's the game
Shirayuki-chan requested.
[02:10] Kagaya
Scalene Love Triangle.
SIGN Scalene Love Triangle
SIGN Scalene Love Triangle
[02:13] Kagaya
It's a kind of card game.
[02:15] Kagaya
Each player gets 10 cards
that they play one at a time.
[02:19] Kagaya
The cards have relative values, and whoever
plays the higher card gets both cards.

If it's a draw, the cards stay on the board

Commoner cards come into play...
[02:51] Hiroto
Man, she's fast. She's a total genius.
[02:54] Hiroto
Um, so, what are the different card values?

Are those the sets?
[03:18] Kagaya
Yup. But which one you get is random.
[03:20] Sarasa
Set A looks stronger.
[03:22] Kagaya
It is. So if you get Set B,
you start off with a big handicap.
[03:29] Sarasa
What's that?
[03:31] Hiroto
This was sent to me from Himeji's Device.
SIGN These are the

Well, whatever she's thinking,
this does make our plan easier.

[04:10] Sarasa
The real game starts after that.
[04:12] Hiroto
Th-This is an absolute nightmare.
[04:15] Sarasa
It sure is. Yuki's really going for the win.
[04:20] Kagaya
And that's where we come in. When you
can't win, use whatever's at your disposal.
[04:24] Kagaya
That's our type of justice.
[04:26] Kagaya
First, as a woman blessed by electronics,
[04:29] Kagaya
your big sis Kagaya here
will hack into the system,
[04:31] Kagaya
then our flawless leader,
Shirayuki-chan, will do all sorts of...
[04:34] Kagaya
But Shirayuki-chan's not here!
[04:38] Kagaya
It's hopeless. Shirayuki-chan's the one
who always plans the strategies.
[04:42] Kagaya
A body can't move without its brain.
[04:45] Sarasa
We've got one. Right here.
[04:46] Kagaya
Huh?
[04:47] Sarasa
I'll do it.
[04:49] Sarasa
When it comes to developing strategies,
I'm sure I'm at least as skilled as Yuki.
[04:53] Kagaya
Can I ask you to do that?
[04:55] Sarasa
Yes. Of course.
[04:56] Sarasa
First, could you tell me about
the Commoner card skills?
[04:59] Kagaya
Oh, right, right. Roger that.
SIGN Ability Characteristics: Draw
SIGN Special Characteristics
SIGN Simple Extraction
Choose one card from the opponent's
hand and exclude it from the game
SIGN Reset All
Return all of the opponent's
collected cards to the board
SIGN Undefeated Hero
Able to defeat any card
SIGN Explosive Growth
Increase your collected cards by X cards
(X is the turn number)
SIGN Great Revolution
From this point on,
all card values will be reversed
SIGN Trojan Horse
Activates when defeated
by a royal or knight card.
Add half of the opponent's
collected cards to your own collection
[05:02] Kagaya
For a card skill to activate,
it has to stay on the board.
[05:06] Kagaya
Basically, the skills only
activate when there's a draw.
[05:09] Hiroto
They all look like really powerful skills.
[05:12] Kagaya
Yeah, but they're really weak unless
the opponent plays a Commoner or an Assassin.
[05:16] Sarasa
And no matter the skill,
we'll still get crushed at the start.
[05:21] Sarasa
Those first three turns are going
to screw everything up for us.
[05:25] Sarasa
But that's how we know
exactly what will happen.
[05:28] Kagaya
What will happen?
[05:29] Sarasa
Well, there are two Commoner skills
Yuki will definitely try to lock down first.
[05:33] Sarasa
Explosive Growth, which allows
you to increase your collection,
SIGN Commoner

Hm, yeah. But Forced Control
lasts for three turns, right?
[05:43] Hiroto
Won't she nab Great Revolution, too?
[05:45] Sarasa
Yuki has Simple Extraction in her hand.
[05:48] Hiroto
Oh. So it'll go like this:

[05:50] Hiroto
Himeji will play the Simple
Extraction Commoner first,
[05:53] Hiroto
and make me play my Assassin,
so it ends in an draw.
[05:56] Hiroto
She'll then use the skill's effect
to remove the Trojan Horse card.
SIGN Skill
(Simple Extraction)
[05:59] Hiroto
Next, she'll play a Knight to get
the Explosive Growth Commoner,
SIGN 2 Turns
SIGN 1 Turn
[06:03] Hiroto
then use a Royalty card
to get my Knight.
[06:05] Sarasa
Yeah. By the end of the third turn,
her lead over you will be devastating.
[06:11] Sarasa
Counting the bonus card, we'll be seven cards
behind by the time we start playing for real.
[06:16] Hiroto
So she'll only need four more to win.
[06:19] Hiroto
There's no way! The cards I'll have in Turn 4
will be too weak to turn things around.
[06:23] Sarasa
But, thinking about it, if we can
reverse that seven-card gap, we can win.
[06:30] Sarasa
In the abilities restricted to Six Stars

[06:37] Sarasa
You can take a regular
Commoner from your hand
[06:40] Sarasa
and give it a skill like
"Exchange All Collected Cards."
[06:44] Hiroto
Oh. Is that doable, Kagaya-san?
[06:46] Kagaya
Huh?
[06:47] Hiroto
Can you cheat and recreate a skill
like the one she just said?
[06:51] Hiroto
Basically, I wanna make it look like
I used Enchant turn things around.
[06:54] Kagaya
Uh, I don't know.
[06:56] Kagaya
Maybe I could ask one
of the other members...
[06:58] Kagaya
Wait, no. They might be
monitoring communications.
[07:01] Hiroto
But it's super lucky you're here right now.
You're the only person I can ask.
[07:06] Kagaya
Fine. I'm a little unsure about it,
[07:09] Kagaya
but I am the Company's
Head of Electronics, aren't I?
[07:12] Kagaya
I'll come up with the best
possible exploit for you, Hiro-kyun.
[07:15] Hiroto
Thank you very much!
[07:17] Kagaya
Be sure to take care of Shirayuki-chan.
[07:19] Kagaya
I'm borrowing the server room.
[07:24] Sarasa
I really hope she finishes in time.
[07:26] Hiroto
Don't worry. She's a goof,
but she's also a real genius.
[07:30] Sarasa
Gotcha. You'd still better
make sure to load your abilities.
[07:34] Sarasa
The go-to has to be Afterthought.
Then put in as many as you can.
[07:38] Sarasa
Hey, what's wrong?
[07:40] Hiroto
Himeji told me, "Don't try to win."
[07:43] Hiroto
I know I can't just lose,
but something about this is bothering me.
[08:00] Sarasa
Th-Thanks for waiting, Shinohara.
[08:10] Sarasa
I-I know I've said this already,
but this is for my safety.
[08:13] Sarasa
I snuck out to come here even
though it's way past my curfew.
[08:17] Sarasa
If I went back this late,
I'd get in a heap of trouble,
[08:20] Sarasa
then be watched even closer, which
would mean I couldn't help you tomorrow.
[08:24] Hiroto
I get it. I get it already.
[08:26] Hiroto
I wouldn't throw someone out
in the middle of the night, anyway.
[08:30] Sarasa
Until Yuki gets back safely,
I can't take the risk...
[08:33] Hiroto
I said it's fine!
[08:35] Hiroto
Jeez. If you're that nervous,
go sleep in a different room.
[08:38] Sarasa
T-Today's special.
[08:40] Sarasa
I don't want to be alone. I'd get anxious.
[08:50] Hiroto
I-I'm turning out the lights.
[08:53] Sarasa
O-Okay.
[09:02] Hiroto
Hey, you still awake?
[09:05] Sarasa
You can't sleep either?
[09:08] Hiroto
Guess not.
[09:09] Sarasa
Good.
[09:11] Sarasa
It's too early for me to get sleepy,
and I keep worrying about Yuki.
[09:17] Hiroto
You wanna chat until you're tired?
[09:19] Sarasa
I guess. How about a quiz?
[09:22] Sarasa
There's still stuff about
the island you don't know, right?
[09:25] Sarasa
The system, the abilities, and so on.
[09:28] Hiroto
Oh, u-uh, Himeji filled me in on all that.
[09:31] Sarasa
Sounds like her.
[09:33] Sarasa
I could test you to see
how much you've retained.
[09:36] Hiroto
Nah, Kagaya-san will take care of that.
[09:39] Sarasa
But you never know what might happen.
With what's going on, you must see that.
[09:43] Sarasa

It's okay. I know I can win this time.
[11:05] Noa
I'm so cute and clever. There's no way
I'd lose to a lying impostor like that.

Never.

said she'd sneak onto Eimei's grounds.

I was hoping we'd have an audience.
[12:02] Hiroto
It's all set up, Himeji.
[12:04] Shirayuki
Thank you very much for accommodating
my selfish request on this occasion.
[12:10] Shirayuki
As I explained yesterday,
I absolutely must not lose this Trial.
[12:15] Shirayuki
Even though you are my opponent, Master.
[12:17] Shirayuki
Or rather, it is precisely because
you are my opponent that I must not lose.

the powerful Undefeated Hero like that...
[13:57] Hiroto
She's going way too easy on me.
[13:59] Hiroto
Just careless?
[14:00] Hiroto
No, she's guiding me.
That must mean this whole Trial is a trap.
[14:07] Hiroto
I bet if I beat Himeji,
something bad will happen to me.
[14:13] Hiroto
But Himeji would never
just go along with that.
[14:18] Hiroto
Think. She must have given me a sign.
Something only I'd notice.
[14:24] Shirayuki
Please refrain from trying to win.

She said she mustn't lose.
But she's obviously not trying to win.

[16:16] Hiroto
Himeji has collected 15 cards.
She has Queen and Assassin left.
[16:21] Hiroto
All I'm holding is a Commoner. If you
play the Assassin, you win the game.
[16:26] Shirayuki
I believe so.
[16:30] Hiroto
If she's played the Assassin,
it will mean utter defeat for me.
[16:33] Hiroto
All of Saionji and Kagaya-san's help will
have been wasted, and I'll lose everything.
[16:38] Hiroto
But my trust in Himeji is absolute!
[16:41] Hiroto
This isn't a battle. It's a performance
where we're both acting to trick Akizuki.
[16:47] Hiroto
Right?
[16:49] Hiroto
Before the All-Campus Elimination Battle
started, we decided on a secret phrase.
[16:55] Shirayuki & Hiroto
"Yes, my Master."
[16:58] Hiroto
I know that's the Queen, Himeji.
[17:00] Shirayuki
Are you certain about that?
[17:02] Hiroto
If it isn't the Queen, I'll share
dozens of embarrassing secrets with you.
[17:06] Shirayuki
It is unfortunate, then.
[17:08] Shirayuki
I would have loved to hear all of
your embarrassing secrets, Master.

[17:15] Hiroto

[17:27] Shirayuki
Yes. Half of the cards I have
collected transfer to your collection.
[17:33] Hiroto
And now I've collected 10 cards,
with none left in my hand.
[17:37] Shirayuki
My final card goes into my collection.
Now I also have exactly 10 cards.
[17:42] Hiroto
When you said not to win,
[17:44] Hiroto
what you were really telling me
to do was to force a draw, right?
[18:03] Noa
A draw, huh?
[18:05] Shirayuki
Yes. The State of Conflict has expired,
but neither of us lost,
[18:09] Shirayuki
so both Master and I remain in
the All-Campus Elimination Battle.
[18:13] Noa
I guess so.
[18:15] Noa
I think I'm feeling a little tired.
[18:18] Noa
See you later.
[18:22] Hiroto
Wait!
[18:23] Noa
Girls hate it when you grab them like this.
[18:26] Hiroto
Why don't you just come clean?
[18:28] Noa
About what?
[18:30] Hiroto
Quit acting dumb.
[18:31] Hiroto
From the start, your aim was to make me lose
my spot as the strongest on Academy Island.
[18:36] Noa
What do you mean? I was just trying—
[18:38] Shirayuki
You cannot talk your way out.
[18:40] Shirayuki
I know that you installed Spying on
my Device last night, Akizuki-sama.
SIGN A dangerous program has been detected
SIGN Detected Program: Spying
Threat Level: Extremely high
Time: April 26, 7:41 pm
Type: Illegal ability
Details: Monitors data, leaks private information
[18:45] Kagaya
Yuck! That's a really nasty illegal ability.
All data handled by the Device gets leaked,
[18:50] Kagaya
and it can record and monitor stuff.
It's a seriously gnarly program!
SIGN Shinohara Hiroto
SIGN I have bought the cutlet sauce.
I am returning home now.
SIGN Roger. Thanks.
[18:58] Hiroto
So that's why you cut off all
communications and didn't come home.
[19:02] Shirayuki
Yes.
[19:03] Noa
Until tomorrow night, you can't quit the
elimination battle, walk away, or give up.
[19:08] Noa
If you keep your promise, the Spying
program will delete itself automatically.
[19:12] Noa
Do you understand, "Maid-chan"?
[19:16] Shirayuki
It was set up so that if the
owner of the Device lost the game,
[19:19] Shirayuki
the program would transfer
to the winner's Device.
[19:24] Hiroto
Th-That's insidious!
Thank you, Himeji! Nice call!
[19:27] Shirayuki
I have backed up last night's access log.
[19:30] Shirayuki
You thought Display Bug
would hide your actions,
[19:33] Shirayuki
but in the hands of Headmistress Ichinose,
the source of the hack can be traced.
[19:37] Noa
Why?
[19:39] Noa
Why does it always have to be you?!
[19:43] Noa
Why? Why?! It makes no sense!
[19:46] Noa
I worked so hard to set all of this up!
[19:50] Noa
How could you possibly win?!
[19:53] Noa
It isn't right. You used dirty tricks
to sneak your way to the top.
[19:57] Hiroto
What are you talking about?
[19:58] Noa
Becoming a Seven Star as soon as you
got to Academy Island? There's no way!
[20:02] Noa
I really, really hate people who cheat!
[20:06] Noa
And remember what I told you? How, in
the Elimination Battle predicted rankings,
[20:10] Noa
you were way more popular, Hiroto-kun?
[20:13] Hiroto
Y-Yeah.
[20:15] Noa
And, you know, there was a poll like that
at the closing ceremony before.
[20:19] Noa
Asking: "Who do you think
will be the school's ace?"
[20:22] Noa
And I was at number one then.
[20:25] Noa
But the instant you transfer in,
[20:28] Noa
everyone turns their backs on me
and flocks to you instead.
[20:32] Noa
I spend all those years working
harder and harder to build myself up,
[20:37] Noa
then you show up out of nowhere
and I lose everything in an instant?
[20:41] Kagaya
Whew, close one. Looks like she doesn't
have any proof of our exploits, after all.
[20:46] Hiroto
But it's true that I'm cheating.
And she's worked so hard...
[20:51] Noa
That's why I decided to get my revenge.
[20:55] Noa
Without your "Maid-chan,"
you wouldn't be able to fight so well.
[20:59] Noa
I set it up so you two
would have to face each other.
[21:04] Noa
Man, and it was so much trouble to set up.
[21:08] Noa
I even made a deal with that devil—
[21:11] Hiroto
That must be who's pulling the strings.
[21:14] Hiroto
Even if she's really talented,
[21:16] Hiroto
a student wouldn't be able to
put all of this together by herself.
[21:20] Hiroto
Well, your scheme hit a brick wall.
Come clean and tell us everything.
[21:26] Noa
What are you talking about?
It's not over yet.
[21:29] Noa
I'm not going down like this!
[21:33] Noa
I'm so cute and clever, I made a backup plan
in case something like this happened.
[21:39] Noa
The ability I installed on
Maid-chan's Device works in two stages.
[21:43] Noa
When the main skill, Spying, is disabled,
another one activates in the background.
[21:49] Hiroto
In the background?
[21:50] Noa
Yeah. And that skill is
called Destructive Impulse.
SIGN Destruc

[21:53] Noa
It smashes all of the data on that

[21:59] Noa
All I have to do is press the start button,
[22:02] Noa
and Maid-chan's Device
turns into a useless object.
[22:05] Hiroto
What?
[22:07] Noa
And then, Maid-chan won't be able
to stay on Academy Island anymore.
[22:12] Shirayuki
Are you sure about this?
If they find out you used an illegal ability,
[22:16] Shirayuki
the whole of Academy
Island will turn on you.
[22:19] Noa
I can't back down now!
[22:24] Hiroto
Himeji!
[22:26] Noa
Hey, Hiroto-kun,
you and I should play a game.
[22:30] Noa
Not a Trial. A real game where we bet Stars.
[22:34] Noa
But it won't be fair and square.
[22:38] Noa
I'm fed up with all of that.
[22:43] Noa
Just like that devil,
[22:45] Noa
I sold my soul and now I can't go back.
[22:53] Hiroto
"That devil..." Who the hell does she mean?
[22:56] Hiroto
No, this comes first.
[22:57] Noa
So, Hiroto-kun, if you want me to return
your little Maid-chan, lose to me, 'kay?
[23:03] Noa
Hand over your Stars right now, then
bow down before me in front of everyone,
[23:09] Noa
and declare that I'm the one true
Seven Star to pay for your sins!
[23:12] Noa
Doesn't that sound right?
Because I know everything about you is a lie.
[23:17] Hiroto
Something seriously isn't right here.
She knows too much. All I can think of...
[23:21] Hiroto
is the stolen Green Unique Star
that enhances perception!
[23:27] Noa
I won't let you off the hook
with a draw this time.
[23:30] Noa
We'll fight one last, decisive battle.
Tabletop Treasure Hunt.
[23:35] Noa
All righty. Why don't we get started?

A question?

[00:52] Noa
You can ask one "yes or no" question.
[00:55] Noa
By the way, if you lie,
you forfeit, so be careful, okay?
[01:00] Hiroto
In that case, my partner isn't on
those floors, so the answer is no.
[01:05] Noa
Okay! Then, next comes the "move" phase.
[01:08] Noa
This is another command

[01:22] Hiroto
So Akizuki and I are in the hall

[01:25] Hiroto
and our partners are hiding
somewhere in other rooms.
[01:29] Hiroto
It seems the rooms are
electronically locked,
[01:31] Hiroto

[02:51] Hiroto
I think we're gonna be

[02:54] Sarasa

[03:19] Sarasa
And for the Devil Girl, it's Yuki.

Your partner can move
even if they are located,
[04:17] Hiroto
but in exchange,
you lose one offensive move.
[04:20] Sarasa
That's why the Little Devil
activated Double Action.
[04:23] Sarasa
If she feels like it, she can
move around twice as fast.
[04:27] Hiroto
She's trying to put pressure on me
so that I'll use my answers up first.
[04:32] Hiroto
That Double Action ability
Akizuki's using is way too powerful.
[04:36] Sarasa
I bet it's an illegal ability she got
from the guy behind the curtain.
[04:39] Hiroto
Which means her other two abilities
will probably also be a pain.
[04:43] Sarasa
Hey, Shinohara, I think
I more or less get the rules,
[04:46] Sarasa
but what are you planning to do now?
[04:48] Sarasa
If you win, Yuki won't be
able to stay on the island.
[04:52] Sarasa
But if you lose, it's all over for you.
[04:54] Hiroto
Well, it's not like I don't have a plan.
[04:57] Sarasa
Wait, does that mean...
[04:59] Hiroto
But I'm not 100% on it yet.
[05:01] Sarasa
I thought this during
your game with Kugasaki,
[05:04] Sarasa
but when it comes to thinking up sneaky
plans at the last minute, you're a genius.
[05:08] Hiroto
Well, thanks.
[05:10] Sarasa
But if you play fair, there's no way
you're gonna beat the Devil Girl.
[05:14] Hiroto
In that case, an eye for an eye,
and a cheat for a cheat.

Kagaya-san! Are we good?
[05:54] Kagaya
Yeah, it's not happening.
[05:56] Kagaya
It looks like Noa's used the
Area Barrier ability on the whole school.
[05:59] Hiroto
Ugh. Is that right?
[06:01] Kagaya
Remember how I wrote a device sensor program
for you when the Elimination Battle began?
[06:06] Hiroto
Oh, right! Since there are no other students
around, I can use it to locate Himeji.
[06:12] Kagaya
Yeah, you could. Except you need to connect
to an outside server, so right now, you can't.
[06:18] Hiroto
Ugh. But Area Barrier's
an external defense ability,
[06:23] Hiroto
so we can still use cheats inside it, right?
[06:25] Kagaya
Yup, yup. Academy Island's
devices are pretty high-spec.
[06:30] Kagaya
Now, if only there was a genius who isn't me
who could do a quick job of modifying one...
[06:35] Hiroto
So you mean there might be a way
for someone as smart as Akizuki?
[06:40] Kagaya
Well, maybe. I've got the specs for
all the modded programs in my head,
[06:45] Kagaya
but I don't think that's
gonna help us right now.
[06:48] Hiroto
No, it actually might help.

Because right now, I've got a genius
even smarter than Akizuki with me.

[08:30] Hiroto
But if that means Akizuki's already used up

[08:36] Shirayuki

[08:37] Hiroto
Huh?
[08:39] Shirayuki
I must apologize. I had to cut off
all access to my Device.
[08:44] Hiroto
Yeah, I'd noticed. But is it okay
for you to be talking to me?
[08:48] Shirayuki
Yes, because I am not saying anything

[09:34] Hiroto
Akizuki's third turn will carry on

[09:41] Sarasa
The Devil Girl still has
two answer points left,
[09:44] Sarasa
but we can't use the device sensor anymore,
[09:46] Sarasa
and it would take too long
to narrow it down one at a time.
[09:50] Hiroto
In theory, the best idea would
normally be to figure out Akizuki's plan,
[09:54] Hiroto
and guess where she's hidden Himeji.
[09:57] Sarasa
Is there a problem with doing that?

Yeah. The first time was
during the Trial with Himeji.
[10:24] Hiroto
And the second was just now,
when you pinpointed Himeji's location.
[10:28] Sarasa
You're right.
[10:30] Hiroto
So I'm trying to figure out
what's different about those moments.
[10:33] Hiroto
Someone else's ideas were mixed into
those moves. They weren't mine alone.
[10:38] Sarasa
So you're saying the Little Devil can
only read your thoughts, Shinohara?
[10:42] Hiroto
If that's the case, we can use
that to our advantage.

She must've placed Himeji somewhere
she believes I won't think to look. But...

[11:57] Hiroto

[12:05] Sarasa

And if it's approved, someone can
take the place of the target player.
[19:46] Shirayuki
And I just used that to
trade places with Master.
[19:50] Hiroto
Basically, the player you just
beat wasn't me. It was Himeji.
[19:54] Hiroto
I'll say it again.
[19:56] Hiroto
You just beat Himeji.
Whether you like it or not.
[20:00] Noa
Huh?

Are you finally catching on?

[20:15] Hiroto
Basically, with this result, they transferred
from Himeji's Device to yours.
[20:20] Hiroto
Which means you can't hold
Himeji hostage anymore.
[20:28] Hiroto
I didn't lose the game, and your cursed
abilities have infected you instead.
[20:33] Hiroto
There couldn't have been a more
perfect result, could there?
[20:38] Hiroto
Well? Are you ready to tell us
exactly what's going on, Akizuki?
[20:43] Noa
This was... the most important thing to me.
[20:47] Noa
I haven't told anyone else until now.
[20:50] Noa
But I guess I'll talk. This might
be the last chance I get, anyway.
[20:56] Hiroto
The last chance?
[20:57] Noa
I'm kind of smart, you see.
[20:59] Noa
I took something called an intellectual
development test and got an incredible score.
[21:03] Noa
One of the best scores ever.
[21:05] Noa
Then I was headhunted to come
to grade school on Academy Island.
[21:08] Hiroto
Yeah, I think that's a lot
more than "kind of smart."
[21:11] Noa
But grade schools on this island really
only accept the most elite candidates.
[21:16] Noa
Intelligence and talent aren't enough.
You need to be from a good family and lineage.
[21:22] Noa
There's no way a normal person like me
could blend in at a place like that.
[21:26] Noa
I couldn't help feeling
like I was worthless.
[21:31] Noa
So I thought if I stopped being so normal...
If I became someone great, I could fit in here.
[21:37] Noa
So I worked really hard.
[21:39] Noa
In my first year, I got into the top class,
and last year, I became a Five Star.
[21:44] Noa
Everyone said I'd win the All-Campus
Elimination Battle and become Eimei's ace!
[21:49] Noa
I wanted something. Just one reward
to show for all the effort I'd put in.
[21:57] Noa
I wanted to become special.
[21:59] Noa
But you took that all away
from me, Hiroto-kun.
[22:03] Noa
You destroyed me in an instant.
[22:06] Hiroto
Is that why you made a deal
with this "devil" guy?
[22:10] Noa
The devil's name is Kurahashi Mikado.
[22:13] Noa
He's the headmaster of
Seijo Academy in District 12.
[22:15] Noa
He told me to cheat and do whatever
I could to steal Stars from you, Hiroto-kun.
[22:20] Noa
If I did that, he said he'd make
all my dreams come true!
[22:24] Noa
I was so scared.
[22:26] Noa
Everything fell apart just as I was
about to be rewarded for my hard work.
[22:30] Hiroto
Didn't you ever think of defying him?
This Kurahashi guy, I mean.
[22:34] Noa
There's no way! I'm no match for him.
[22:38] Noa
But it's fine. You can all
just forget about me.
[22:42] Noa
I'm sure this is my last day at school here
and the last time I'll ever see you, Hiroto-kun.
[22:48] Noa
There's just one more thing. I'm really
sorry I tried to hurt your Maid-chan.
[22:54] Hiroto
I'm not okay with this. Gimme a break!
[22:56] Hiroto
Who said you could just give up?
[22:59] Noa
B-But there's nothing else I can do!
[23:03] Noa
Where will I ever find anyone
who's able to defeat that devil?
[23:06] Hiroto
Yeah, that's the problem. You can't see it
because you're always looking down.
[23:12] Hiroto
Did you forget?
I'm the strongest on Academy Island.
[23:17] Hiroto
I don't care if this guy's
a District 12 headmaster.
[23:20] Hiroto
A loser like that...
[23:23] Hiroto
is no match for me.
[23:25] Noa
Hiroto-kun?
[23:29] Hiroto
Don't worry. I won this
game a long time ago.
[23:34] Hiroto
So, the thing you should
know is, you've been saved.

You know, something
wonderful happened yesterday.
SIGN Silence

[01:37] Ichinose
A disgusting dictator finally got
exposed for the scumbag he is.
[01:41] Ichinose
Despite his innocent look,
he was a manipulative con man,
[01:45] Ichinose
but he was taken down in one night.
[01:47] Ichinose
I'm super tired after celebrating
late into the night with some drinks,
[01:51] Ichinose
but I hope you can overlook that
as a benefit of being an adult.
[01:54] Ichinose
Now, then. The All-Campus Elimination
Battle has reached its final stage.
[01:58] Ichinose
The remaining survivors are these two.
[02:01] Ichinose
The first is the strongest on
Academy Island, Shinohara Hiroto.
[02:05] Ichinose
Well, if a Seven Star didn't last
this long, he'd be an eternal disgrace.
[02:10] Hiroto
That's kind of a malicious way to put it.
[02:13] Ichinose
Next is the Little Devil:
the Six Star, Akizuki Noa.
[02:20] Ichinose
They're both confirmed for
the district elimination team,
[02:22] Ichinose
but it's time to decide
who Eimei's ace will be
[02:25] Ichinose
with a top-level battle.
The Six Star versus the Seven Star.
[02:28] Ichinose
Brace yourselves for a—
[02:29] Noa
Um, Headmistress?
[02:31] Noa
May I say something? I, um...
[02:35] Noa
I have no intention of fighting Hiroto-kun.
[02:40] Ichinose
Would you mind explaining why not?
[02:42] Noa
I think most people already
heard this on the stream,
[02:45] Noa
but nobody ever paid any attention
to me, so I wanted to be special.
[02:50] Noa
I used illegal methods to try
to steal Stars from Hiroto.
[02:54] Noa
I'm really very sorry!
[02:56] Noa
Well, it didn't work out that way,
[02:59] Noa
but while everyone devoted
themselves to the event,
[03:01] Noa
I alone was plotting evil schemes.
[03:03] Noa
So I wish to withdraw from
the All-Campus Elimination—
[03:06] Hiroto
Stop right there, Akizuki.
[03:07] Noa
Wh-What's wrong, Hiroto-kun?
[03:10] Hiroto
There's absolutely no reason
for you to withdraw.
[03:12] Noa
Huh?
[03:13] Hiroto
It was all that jerk Kurahashi's fault.
[03:16] Hiroto
And I didn't lose anything in the end.

And you can see the results.
A good 99.5% are on your side.
[03:39] Hiroto
Basically, the consensus at
Eimei is that it wasn't your fault.
[03:43] Noa
Huh?
[03:43] Hiroto
Jeez. And you think people
don't pay attention to you?
[03:47] Hiroto
Even our Empress was singing your praises.
[03:50] Noa
N-No way...
[03:52] Hiroto
Listen, Akizuki. You just
got a little carried away.
[03:56] Hiroto
In reality, you'd already become
someone special by your efforts alone.
[04:01] Hiroto
And so, I want to make a suggestion.
[04:05] Hiroto
The winner of the Elimination Battle
and Eimei's ace is you, Akizuki.
[04:10] Noa
Huh?
[04:11] Hiroto
I'm saying I'm the one who's gonna withdraw.
[04:14] Noa
Huh? B-But why?
[04:16] Hiroto
Look, I'm already the strongest
on Academy Island, right?
[04:20] Noa
B-But still...
[04:22] Hiroto
Anyway, it's too late now.
I just sent the formal withdrawal request.
[04:26] Hiroto
Too bad for you guys who were
betting on me to take first place.
[04:30] student
What? Can he do that?
[04:30] student
The Little Devil got first?
[04:32] student
The Seven Star forfeited?
[04:33] Hiroto
See?
[04:34] Hiroto
Now you truly are someone special.
[04:38] Noa
All right. In that case, I'll be Eimei's ace.
[04:43] Noa
I'll become the perfect ace. One that
can face you head-on and not lose.
[04:48] Noa
And I want you all to
support me all the way!
[04:54] Ichinose
That Shinohara...
[04:57] Ichinose
I have a feeling he's gonna make
this year's Inter-Academy Battle fun.

Are you gonna start teasing me, too?

No, not that. We just have to hold hands,
right? If so, let's just get it over with.
[08:20] Sarasa
A-Are you saying you want to
put your hands on me?
[08:24] Hiroto
Don't start that!

You're embarrassed
because you're overthinking it.

But you did go to a shop
that only admits couples.

Though I'd really love one of
your home-cooked meals again.

What do you think?
[10:01] Shirayuki
Dinner is all ready, but would you
like to take a relaxing bath first?
[10:05] Hiroto
Yeah, that might be an idea. We're probably
all sweaty from how much we walked today.
[10:10] Sarasa
I guess I'll take her up on that.

Well, then, I would be happy to scrub
both of your backs at the same time.

[10:19] Sarasa
Whoa, hold up, hold up. The same time?
[10:22] Sarasa
Wouldn't he see me naked?
[10:24] Shirayuki
You will wear swimsuits, naturally.
[10:25] Shirayuki
I know that you wear bikinis
[10:27] Shirayuki
and show skin to countless male
strangers on the beach during the summer,
[10:31] Shirayuki
so I doubt it will be a problem.
[10:32] Sarasa
I get a feeling that was meant to be a jibe.
[10:35] Shirayuki
Plus, this mansion is equipped with a special
extra-large bath for use by the Seven Star.
[10:40] Sarasa
Y-Yeah, but wearing a bathing suit
in the bath sounds even kinkier.
[10:45] Shirayuki
In that case, would you prefer to be nude?
I am prepared for that, if it is necessary.
[10:50] Sarasa
Th-That's not what I meant! Jeez.
[10:53] Hiroto
Wait a minute. Are you annoyed
that we went shopping without you?
[10:56] Sarasa
Surely not.
[10:58] Hiroto
Himeji always gets real
stubborn about stuff like this.
[11:01] Sarasa
B-But I didn't bring a swimsuit.
[11:09] Sarasa
Fine. You win, Yuki.
[11:12] Shirayuki
Very well. Let us all take a bath together.

This is heaven.

Wait! Don't look yet!
[11:28] Hiroto
Uh, right.
[11:29] Shirayuki
My apologies, Master. Please wait a moment.
[11:37] Hiroto

All I can hear is the shower behind me,
[11:42] Hiroto
and all I can see is the
painting of Mt. Fuji on the wall,
[11:45] Hiroto
but my heart's totally racing!

even the guys in my class
know about their game record.
[13:30] Hiroto
But it sounds like those two
really don't get along.
[13:33] Noa
Oh. Yeah, I guess that's true.
[13:36] Noa
They were childhood friends, but now
it's more like they're stuck with each other.
[13:39] Nanase
Hey. I said hey, Shinji!
[13:41] Nanase
Can you hear me?
[13:43] Shinji
Nope. There's a really noisy idiot
right next to me, so I can't hear a thing.
SIGN Meeting Room
[13:47] Nanase
It's your fault I'm making noise right now!
[13:51] Noa
They say they hate each other,
but they still spend all their time together.
[13:55] Noa
So, every time...
[13:57] Nanase
You're literally pissing me off.
[13:59] Noa
...they just keep fighting like that.
[14:02] Hiroto
You guys better not screw it up for us!
[14:05] Shirayuki
Thank you for coming today to discuss
strategy for the May Inter-Academy Battle.
[14:09] Shirayuki
I'm grateful to you all.
[14:11] Shirayuki
Let us start with the promo video
that was released last week.
[14:14] Nanase
Sounds good. I'm on board with that.
[14:17] Noa
I'm okay with it, too.

[14:32] Hiroto
That didn't tell us much,
[14:34] Hiroto
but it's clearly a domination game
where you try to expand your team's area.
[14:38] Shinji
Hm. I agree, but your manner of
speaking is very rough, exchange student.
[14:44] Hiroto
I have a lot of respect for you,
so cut me some slack.
[14:47] Hiroto
All right, Himeji. The basic rules
have been released, right?
[14:50] Shirayuki
Yes. It is a large-scale game conforming to
Academy Island's operational regulations
[14:55] Shirayuki
that allows up to 100 players.
[14:58] Shirayuki
"Area Steal To Reconquer All Lost."
[15:01] Shirayuki
Or ASTRAL, for short.
[15:04] Shirayuki
The game lasts from Monday,
May 9th, until Friday, May 13th.
SIGN Event Schedule
SIGN Monday
SIGN Tuesday
SIGN Wednesday
SIGN Thursday
SIGN Friday
[15:08] Shirayuki
Each day is split into a first
period from 9:00 to 12:00,
[15:11] Shirayuki
and a second period from 2:00 to 5:00,
for a total of ten periods.
[15:15] Shirayuki
It will take place in District Zero,
[15:17] Shirayuki
also known as the Special Development
District, at the center of the island.
SIGN Special Development District
[15:21] Shirayuki
The game field is divided
into one million spaces,
SIGN One Million Spaces
[15:24] Shirayuki
with spots known as "Bases" scattered around.
SIGN Bases
[15:27] Shirayuki
It is possible to capture these bases.
SIGN Captured
SIGN Captured

SIGN Captured
[15:30] Shirayuki
Two captured bases make a line,
three or more a polygon,
[15:33] Shirayuki
and all the spaces within become
part of the corresponding team's area,
[15:37] Shirayuki
and will change to that team's color.
[15:40] Shirayuki
Every hour, the bases release
special usable skills called "spells."
SIGN Spells
SIGN Trap
SIGN Barrier
SIGN Conceal
SIGN Release
SIGN Counteract
SIGN Swordflash
SIGN Gunfire
SIGN Magic Blast
[15:45] Shirayuki
The game also uses what is known
as a "Freeze Time" system,
[15:49] Shirayuki
so for a period of time after you have used
a spell, you cannot perform an action.
SIGN Use Spell
SIGN Freeze Time
SIGN Activated
[15:54] Shirayuki
The length of Freeze Time is calculated from
the movement value attributed to each player.
SIGN Freeze Time

SIGN Guardian
[16:00] Shirayuki
There are also five player positions
you can take in ASTRAL,
[16:03] Shirayuki
and no overlap is allowed within a team.
SIGN Dominate All Areas
SIGN Destroy All Teams
[16:05] Shirayuki
To win, you must either dominate all areas
or destroy all the other teams.
[16:10] Shirayuki
But if neither of these conditions is met,
[16:13] Shirayuki
when the time runs out, the team with
the largest occupied area wins the game.
[16:17] Shirayuki
Now, on to the losing conditions.
[16:19] Shirayuki
When a player loses all of their
life points, they are eliminated.
SIGN Eliminated
[16:24] Shirayuki
Players can have a
maximum of five life points,
[16:27] Shirayuki
and these reset at the end of each period.
[16:30] Shirayuki
If all team members are eliminated,
or they lose all of the spaces they hold,
SIGN All Players' LP = Zero
SIGN Eliminated
SIGN All Players' LP = Zero

[16:34] Shirayuki

SIGN Team Loses
[16:37] Shirayuki
During the Inter-Academy Battle, another game
called MTCG will be held simultaneously.
SIGN Optional Participation
SIGN Open Game
[16:43] Shirayuki
The top prize is a Wild Card,
which serves as an invitation to ASTRAL.
[16:43] ---
Top Prize
[16:47] Shirayuki
The player who acquires it can join their
chosen team in the battle as a sixth member.
SIGN You can become
SIGN the 6th team member
SIGN and join ASTRAL!
[16:55] Shirayuki
So there seem to be three key points
in the information released so far:
[16:59] Shirayuki
areas, player positions,
and movement values.
[17:01] Noa
Right, right. Say, Shirayuki-chan, is there
a way to see what the movement values are?
[17:07] Shirayuki
If you open the special app released
a few days ago, it is listed on your profile.
SIGN Akizuki Noa
SIGN Movement Value
[17:11] Shirayuki
There are 25 levels, and the
smaller the number, the better.
SIGN Movement Value
[17:15] Hiroto
Movement values are like
a player's general rating.
[17:18] Hiroto
They're calculated using stuff
like game and battle records.
[17:21] Hiroto
Of course, for me, that means...
[17:23] Nanase
A 3! Wow, that's crazy!
SIGN Movement Value
[17:25] Nanase
Shino, you've got a great rating!
Nice job, Seven Star!
[17:28] Hiroto
Yeah, thanks.
[17:29] Hiroto
Wait, "Shino"?
[17:31] Nanase
Uh, it's just a plain old nickname. No good?
[17:33] Hiroto
Well, I didn't say it was bad.
[17:36] Nanase
We're good, then.
[17:38] Hiroto
Of course, my movement value is a lie.
[17:40] Hiroto
My real number isn't 3, it's 19.
[17:43] Hiroto
Kagaya-san bugged the display for me.
[17:46] Shirayuki
Now, I would like to
decide on a general plan.
[17:50] Shinji
There are two main keys
to strategy in ASTRAL.
SIGN Expand Area
SIGN Destroy Other Teams
[17:53] Shinji
You either expand your area
or make the other teams lose.
[17:57] Shinji
However, spells are required to fight,
SIGN Battle
SIGN Spell Required
[17:59] Shinji
and in order to get spells,
you have to expand your area.
SIGN Battle
SIGN Spell Required
SIGN Must Expand Area
[18:02] Shinji
In other words, there's no reason
to treat these as separate things.
[18:06] Hiroto
So, for now, we need to decide the
team makeup and who takes what position.
SIGN Soldier

SIGN Guardian

[18:12] Shirayuki
Here are the details.
[18:15] Hiroto
For me, getting the right position is really
important and the first big hurdle to clear.
SIGN Commander
SIGN Movement value fixed at 25
Can swap positions with another member once
Special spell: None
SIGN .
SIGN .
SIGN .
[18:21] Hiroto
Basically, if I don't get
commander, it's all over.
[18:24] Hiroto
Of course, the huge movement
value is a big minus.
[18:27] Hiroto
But it's a trade-off for
a much more important benefit,
[18:31] Hiroto
regardless of whether
I'm a Three Star or Seven.
SIGN Commander
[18:34] Hiroto
I can use the commander's poor
movement value as an excuse.
SIGN Soldier
SIGN Mage
SIGN Spy
[18:37] Hiroto
Any of the others would
be a huge problem for me.
SIGN Guardian
SIGN Guardian
[18:40] Hiroto

All right, then I'll be—
[19:18] Shinji
Commander.
[19:19] Hiroto & Shirayuki
Huh?
[19:20] Shinji
I wish to be the commander.
[19:22] Shinji
Did you perhaps want
the same thing, Shinohara?
[19:26] Hiroto
I do. But why do you?
[19:29] Shinji
It should be obvious.
[19:30] Shinji
Without a competent commander,
victory in ASTRAL would be impossible.
[19:34] Hiroto
If that's your reason,
it'd be the same with me in the role.
[19:37] Shinji
No, it absolutely wouldn't. The commander's
movement value is fixed at 25.
SIGN Enomoto Shinji
SIGN Movement Value
[19:42] Shinji
You have a lower number, so you would
be more disadvantaged than myself.
[19:47] Shinji
Also, the commander's duties, like gathering
information, analyzing enemy movements,
[19:51] Shinji
mapping, and giving instructions...
These are all specialties of mine.
[19:55] Shinji
Do you get that, transfer student?
Also, watch your tone.
[19:58] Nanase
What are you so uptight about, Shinji?
[20:00] Nanase
Shino can use insane Unique Star
abilities, and he's a Seven Star.
[20:05] Nanase
And I don't wanna, like,
have to follow your orders.
[20:08] Shinji
This isn't in the same
dimension as what you "want."
[20:11] Shinji
It's simply about what's appropriate.
[20:13] Hiroto
I'm gonna have to deceive
my enemies and allies.
[20:17] Hiroto
I have to make them believe
I'm the strongest on Academy Island.
[20:21] Hiroto
If I don't, this team won't work smoothly
and my lies will be exposed.
[20:27] Hiroto
Hey, Enomoto.
[20:28] Shinji
You left out the crucial "senpai."
What is it, Shinohara?
[20:32] Hiroto
Commander can trade places
with someone once in the game.
[20:35] Hiroto
So let me take it at first.
[20:38] Hiroto
And if I don't meet with your approval,
I'll find the right moment to give it to you.
[20:44] Shinji
In that case, I'd say
I should take it first, but...
[20:48] Shinji
Okay, on one condition. Take out three
other commanders by the end of the third day.
[20:54] Shinji
If you don't manage it,
you will give me the commander role.
[20:57] Shirayuki
Please wait, Enomoto-sama. Do you not
think that condition is somewhat unfair?
[21:02] Shirayuki
What if you choose to refuse
to cooperate with him?
[21:06] Shinji
Himeji Shirayuki-kun, is it?
[21:08] Shinji
Your attitude is excellent,
but I think you are overlooking something.
[21:12] Shirayuki
Overlooking?
[21:14] Shinji
That's right. As Eimei Academy's student
council president, I simply want to win.
[21:20] Shinji
In the yearly academy rankings,
Eimei has been stuck at #5 for several years.
[21:25] Shinji
I want to raise that rank.
[21:28] Shinji
With Seven Star Shinohara here,
we have a good chance of doing that this year.
[21:32] Shinji
As such, I would do
absolutely nothing to hinder him.
[21:35] Hiroto
Okay. Good enough for me.
[21:37] Hiroto
If I can't pull it off, I'll give
the commander's role to you,
[21:42] Hiroto
and I'll even talk to you
politely for the rest of my life.
[21:48] Hiroto
Hello?
[21:49] Sarasa
Shinohara?
[21:50] Sarasa
Oh, good. If you hadn't answered,
I don't know what I would've done.
[21:52] Hiroto
What's happened? Why are you so upset?
[21:54] Sarasa
Because we're in serious trouble!
[21:57] Hiroto
Trouble? What do you mean?
[21:59] Sarasa
It's Sarasa! Another one
who isn't me or the real thing.
[22:03] Sarasa
A third Saionji Sarasa has appeared!
[22:07] Hiroto
Huh?

How do you do?
[00:03] Doppel
I am the Empress.
[00:04] Sarasa
I have no clue what
that's supposed to mean.
[00:07] Hiroto
I see why she'd get attention, though.
[00:09] Hiroto
She looks exactly like you.
[00:11] Sarasa
No wonder they call her a doppelgänger.
[00:15] Doppel
Are you watching closely, fake me?
[00:18] Doppel
I want to take back the name of
Saionji Sarasa that you stole from me.
[00:23] Doppel
So why don't we play a game?
[00:26] Sarasa
Huh?
[00:27] Hiroto
A game?
[00:28] Doppel
The setting will be the
May Inter-Academy Battle, ASTRAL.
[00:32] Doppel
And to win, you have to
defeat Shinohara Hiroto.
[00:35] Hiroto
Huh?
[00:35] Sarasa
Huh?!
[00:38] Doppel
Whoever beats him gets
to be the real Saionji Sarasa.
[00:42] Doppel
If I win, you have to surrender
your Saionji Sarasa account to me.
[00:47] Doppel
If you win, you can be the true Empress.
[00:51] Doppel
If Shinohara Hiroto wins, I'll let him
decide what he does with me.
[00:55] Doppel
But don't forget that I look
exactly like you right now.
[00:59] Doppel
So if you refuse, I might just have
to strip to deal with the stress.
[01:03] Sarasa
What?!
[01:03] Hiroto
Ah!
[01:05] Doppel
Thousands of people might see me doing
all sorts of things to make myself feel good.
[01:14] Doppel
I hope you'll give me the right answer.
[01:20] Sarasa
Aw, damn it!
[01:23] Sarasa
What the hell is this?!
[01:25] Hiroto
H-Hey, try to calm down.
[01:29] Hiroto
Listen.
[01:31] Hiroto
Kurahashi must be involved in this.
[01:34] Sarasa
Good point.
[01:35] Sarasa
Kurahashi knows I helped you out
in the All-Campus Elimination Battle.
[01:41] Sarasa
He might have realized
you and I aren't actually rivals.
[01:45] Hiroto
So he's coming after both of us
this time, I guess?
[01:49] Hiroto
Tch. That scumbag Kurahashi
is constantly screwing with us.
[03:25] Hiroto
I'm begging you! Please help us, Kagaya-san!
SIGN Good Night
[03:28] Kagaya
Uh, so, basically...
[03:30] Kagaya
You need to kill it as the commander
so your teammates won't uncover your lie,
[03:34] Kagaya
while taking out three other leaders
[03:36] Kagaya
and preparing to fight
a super dangerous doppelgänger?
[03:39] Hiroto
Pretty much.
[03:41] Kagaya
You're a real slave driver, Hiro-kyun.
[03:43] Shirayuki
Also, he must be victorious in ASTRAL.
[03:46] Shirayuki
Members of teams who place sixth or lower
all have one Star taken away from them.
[03:51] Hiroto
If I lose a star, I'm done for.
[03:57] Shirayuki
In addition, a new rule has
just been posted on Libra.
[04:02] Shirayuki
It involves a voting system.
[04:04] Shirayuki
Students on the island all get to vote
to predict the event's winners.
SIGN Support Rating
[04:09] Kagaya
And those support ratings have an effect
on players' movement values?
[04:13] Hiroto
But that only comes into
play in the second half.
[04:16] Hiroto
In the first half, positions and abilities
will decide who wins battles.
[04:20] Kagaya
The Company can access the
servers to borrow some data,
[04:23] Kagaya
then I can send it on to you
in real time. That sound okay?
[04:28] Hiroto
Yeah!
[04:29] Shirayuki
Master, what will you do
with your ability settings?
[04:32] Hiroto
Oh, right.
SIGN Black Wings
SIGN Available to the holder of the Indigo Star.
SIGN This ability enhances performances,
allowing the user to employ things
like smoke and sound effects on stage.
It also allows the user to transmit their
voice far away.
SIGN Add
[04:33] Hiroto
In the first slot, I'll use the
Indigo Star's ability, Black Wings.
[04:37] Hiroto
In the second, I'll use the
Green Star's Predict Movement.
SIGN Predict Movement
SIGN Available to the holder of the Green Star.
SIGN A special ability that applies the
sensory effect of the special
Green Star to largely alter the
abilities exhibited by whoever holds it.
SIGN Add
[04:40] Hiroto
And in the third...
I need to think about it some more.
[04:44] Hiroto
What are you going to use, Himeji?
[04:46] Shirayuki
I will use an ability
I've saved for a special occasion.
[04:49] Hiroto
A special occasion?
[04:50] Shirayuki
Yes.
[04:51] Shirayuki
An assist ability that allows
players to exchange one ability.
[04:56] Shirayuki
It is called Replacement.
SIGN Replacement
[04:57] Shirayuki
It is very expensive, so I will have
the Company procure it for me.
[05:01] Shirayuki
But does it not sound potentially useful?
[05:04] Hiroto
Yeah.
[05:08] Sarasa
Roger. Sounds like Eimei
Academy's all ready to go, too.
[05:12] Hiroto
Yeah. I guess that's where we're at now.
[05:15] Sarasa
This whole thing is kind
of depressing, though.
[05:18] Hiroto
Huh?
[05:18] Sarasa
All the Ouka kids keep staring
at me with stars in their eyes.
[05:23] Hiroto
Yeah, but that's normal, right?
[05:25] Sarasa
I'll be with them all the time
during the event.
[05:27] Sarasa
The only time I'll get
to myself is when I'm asleep.
[05:30] Sarasa
And I won't get to talk to you.
[05:33] Hiroto
Huh?
[05:35] Sarasa
I-I'm not saying I'm desperate to see you!
[05:38] Sarasa
I just won't have anyone
to blow off steam with!
[05:42] Hiroto
It's fine.
[05:44] Hiroto
I didn't say anything.
[05:48] Hiroto
Don't lose, Saionji.
[05:50] Sarasa
Hmph.
[05:52] Sarasa
The Empress won't lose so easily.
[05:55] Hiroto
Good. I'm rooting for you. Good night.
[05:58] Sarasa
Yeah, good night.
[06:06] Hiroto
Hello? Yeah, it's me.

doing something naughty, Hiroto-kun.

Yes. And since the Freeze Time
counter displayed 90 seconds,
[08:13] Shirayuki
it seems it takes 10 times your
movement value to occupy a space.
[08:16] Hiroto
That would really slow us down.

In battle, if you're attacked after using
an ability, you might not be able to evade.
[08:30] Hiroto
Then we should check out
that Freeze Time, too.
[08:33] Noa
Ooh, me! I'll try that out for you.
[08:39] Noa
I'll use Numerical Adjustment.

[08:41] Noa

[08:48] Noa

My movement value is also 6,

SIGN Movement Value
[08:57] Hiroto
It'd be pretty tough if that kicked in
when you were in the middle of a battle.
[09:01] Noa
But then I can get Hiroto-kun
to protect me, right?

One more basic thing.

[09:09] Hiroto
When you're in your own area, it looks
like your movement value drops by 2.
[09:14] Hiroto
So the more you expand your area, the more
range you have to move around effectively.
[09:19] Nanase
Yeah, exactly right.
[09:21] Shinji
Huh. I guess he isn't just a
good-for-nothing loudmouth.
[09:25] Hiroto
I went ahead and searched
nearby with my ability.
[09:29] Hiroto
I know where the bases are, so that
should make our plan a little easier.
SIGN m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

[09:32] Noa
So I guess we need to start capturing bases.
[09:35] Hiroto
Yeah. There are two nearby,
one to the north, one to the east.
[09:39] Shinji
If we're moving, east is our only option.
[09:41] Shinji
From what I can see,
base placement isn't random.
[09:44] Shinji
They're likely spaced relatively
equally for a better show.
[09:47] Shinji
With that in mind, we can assume
there are some bases off the map, too.
[09:53] Shinji
Therefore, I think the most efficient way
to expand our area is by moving east.
[09:59] Hiroto
Guess so. Also, spells are released
from bases at regular intervals.
[10:05] Hiroto
But we can't use them like that yet.

But I guess we can just pick whatever to
start with. I'm gonna go with this one.
[10:23] Nanase
Hey, no fair, Noa-chi!
[10:26] Nanase
I wanna pick, too!
[10:28] Noa
How long do you think the
Freeze Time is for spells?
[10:31] Nanase
I can test that out!
[10:33] Nanase
I'll try taking a swing at you, Shinji.
[10:35] Shinji
Wait, Nanase. You're testing
a blade out on a friend?
[10:38] Nanase
What? You'd love to be
murdered by a cute girl.
[10:42] Shinji
I can't dispute your logic, but if it's you,
Nanase, the premise doesn't hold.
[10:46] Nanase
Now I really will kill you.
[10:48] Hiroto
Huh?
[10:48] Hiroto
Hey, Akizuki. Where'd Himeji go?
[10:51] Noa
Huh?
[10:55] Shirayuki
Guess who.
[10:57] Hiroto
Himeji, is that you?
[11:00] Shirayuki
Yes. I decided to try out the Conceal spell.
SIGN Freeze Time
[11:05] Shirayuki
The displayed Freeze Time is 18 seconds,
so it is twice the movement value.
[11:10] Hiroto
O-Oh, no kidding.
[11:12] Shirayuki
Um, Master... Have I done something wrong?
[11:17] Nanase
Wow, a sword!
[11:17] Hiroto
I think I'm the one in the wrong.
[11:18] Shinji
Stop that.
[11:19] Shirayuki
Huh?
[11:19] Shinji
I said the premise doesn't hold.
[11:21] Shinji
Look up "premise" in a dictionary.
[11:21] Nanase
Get killed by a cute girl!

[11:35] Kugasaki
Good to see you again, Shinohara Hiroto.
[11:39] Kugasaki
I should thank you for slithering out
in front of me like this,
[11:43] Kugasaki
and giving me an opportunity
to get my revenge.
[11:46] Hiroto
I didn't come here to see you, you know.
[11:49] Kugasaki
Act smug while you can.
[11:51] Kugasaki
Our team from Otowa will
rightly crush your Eimei antics.
[11:54] Kugasaki
Duly look forward to that.
[12:00] Shirayuki
District 8's Otowa Academy.
[12:02] Shirayuki
Their team is made up of members
of the group Kugasaki-sama leads,
[12:06] Shirayuki
the Self-Made Holy Knight Brigade.
[12:09] Shirayuki
Kugasaki-sama possesses
infectious charisma,
[12:12] Shirayuki
and I think his team may be
one of our greatest threats.
[12:16] Hiroto
How about the other teams?
[12:17] Shirayuki
Right.
[12:18] Shirayuki
District 7's Shinra High School.
[12:21] Shirayuki
The school traditionally has a very hostile
culture, and they placed third last year.
[12:26] Shirayuki
Their player to watch out for
is Kirigaya Touya-sama.
[12:29] Shirayuki
He's a Six Star who believes in
doing whatever is necessary to win.
[12:33] Shirayuki
His nickname is the "Absolute Monarch."
[12:34] Shinji
I hear that when you play him...
[12:37] Shinji
...he tries to overwhelm you with moves
and bombard you with violent tactics.
[12:42] Shinji
I know several people who just gave up
and left the island after playing him.
[12:46] Hiroto
Are you serious?
[12:47] Shinji
By the way...
[12:49] Nanase
Huh?
[12:50] Shinji
The girl over there is serious trouble.
[12:52] Shinji
Kururugi Senri from District 16.
She's the leader of Tsuyuri Girls' Academy.
[12:57] Shinji
She's some kind of monster.
[12:59] Shinji
If you bump into her,
I recommend running away.
[13:03] Hiroto
But why?
[13:05] Shirayuki
Kururugi-sama's ability
is absolutely nefarious.
[13:08] Shirayuki
It's called One-Shot Kill.
[13:11] Shirayuki
If the conditions are met, that ability can
send players to their grave in one attack.
[13:16] Shirayuki
That vicious nature...
[13:19] Shirayuki
has earned her the
nickname of "Demon Maiden."
[13:24] Kururugi
Thanks very much for the compliment.
[13:28] Kururugi
But isn't it a bit rude of you?
Talking about someone behind their back.
[13:33] Hiroto
Yikes, yikes, yikes!
Why's she carrying around a wooden sword?
[13:37] Kururugi
From what I heard, you have
some reality-transcending ability
[13:42] Kururugi
that lets you find winning
strategies against any opponent.
[13:46] Kururugi
You graduated from an
American college at five,
[13:49] Kururugi
and an organization put you through
inhumane training to develop these skills.
[13:53] Kururugi
That's what I heard.
[13:54] Hiroto
Wait. Where's that information from?
[13:57] Kururugi
From a Libra article, obviously.
[13:59] Hiroto
Kazami again.
[14:02] Kururugi
But it doesn't matter. No matter
how strong you are, Tsuyuri will win.
[14:10] Kururugi
The rest of your team
looks to be full of holes, too.
[14:17] Shirayuki
And finally, the player we have to
be most cautious of this time around
[14:21] Shirayuki
is surely that doppelgänger.
[14:25] Shirayuki
Due to the scandal with former
headmaster Kurahashi Mikado,
[14:28] Shirayuki
Seijo Academy cannot participate, and she
has snuck into the event by taking their slot.
[14:33] Shirayuki
She is a scoundrel, picking a fight with
the Empress and getting you involved.
[14:38] Shirayuki
We must be wary.
[14:43] all
Thanks for the meal.
[14:46] Noa
So, how are we splitting the rooms?
[14:48] Noa
I think I should stay with Hiroto-kun.
[14:52] Shinji
What a foolish question.
[14:53] Shinji
As long as I'm not sharing with Nanase,
I have no preference.
[14:58] Nanase
What a sneaky way of saying you do have one.
You just don't wanna room with me, huh?
[15:01] Nanase
So you're okay sharing with another girl?
[15:05] Shinji
I didn't say anything of the sort.
[15:07] Shirayuki
Regardless, it has been decided
that Master and I will share a room,
[15:12] Shirayuki
so if Akizuki-sama joins us,
would you two not be together?
[15:16] Nanase
Wait! No way! I can't even imagine
staying in a room with Shinji!
[15:20] Shinji
Agreed. How could I sleep next to
a girl who tosses and turns so much?
[15:24] Nanase
That was back in grade school!
[15:26] Noa
You guys slept in the same room
when you were in grade school?
[15:32] Noa
Hiroto-kun! You can squeeze me
like a full-body pillow, okay?
[15:37] Shirayuki
I cannot let you have such
a crucial role, Akizuki-sama.
[15:42] Sarasa
Let me set you idiots straight.
[15:46] Sarasa
Boys and girls...
[15:48] Sarasa
sleep in separate rooms!
[15:50] Noa
Aw.
[15:56] Hiroto
Oh, dang. I must have dozed off.

[16:42] Hiroto

[16:45] Tsumugi
I don't know what might happen next,
so I thought I shouldn't act too familiar.
[16:50] Hiroto
Wow, you sure are cautious.
[16:52] Hiroto
But what are you doing here?
[16:54] Tsumugi

You can't be a player, then.
[17:08] Tsumugi

she asked me to be in the MTCG.
[17:18] Tsumugi

Oh, this is a colored con—
[17:37] Tsumugi
Um, I mean, it's because I'm the chosen one.
[17:40] Tsumugi
That's why my eye color is so cool.
[17:43] Tsumugi
See? Look, I have heterochromia! Impressed?
[17:47] Hiroto
Yeah, I'm impressed.
[17:49] Tsumugi
You are?
[17:51] Tsumugi
Hey, listen, listen. My right eye's magical,
so I can see way into the past and future!
[17:57] Tsumugi
I can tell you're a
special person, too, mister.
[18:02] Hiroto
Huh. Sounds like a pretty
overactive magic eye.
[18:06] Hiroto
See you later.

Okay, Lloyd. Look this way

[18:33] Tsumugi
I'll teach you who you belong to now.
[18:36] Hiroto

[19:31] Tsumugi
I don't wanna go.

Our team finally ran into
a rival team on the second day.
[19:59] Yuikawa
I'm Ibara Academy's leader, Yuikawa Kanade.
[20:03] Yuikawa
I want to form an alliance with you.
[20:05] Hiroto
An alliance?
[20:06] Yuikawa
To be honest, we would be perfectly
satisfied just making the top five.
[20:11] Yuikawa
We don't really want
to get into any trouble.
[20:14] Yuikawa
You saw the Temporary
Alliance command, right?
[20:17] Yuikawa
It's an agreement to not
invade each other's areas.
[20:21] Yuikawa
You can also decide on
a penalty if someone breaks it.
[20:24] Nanase
Huh?
[20:26] Hiroto
What's this guy planning?
[20:31] Noa
Mya-chan?

[20:40] Nanase
Ah, no time to explain!

Wait!
[20:45] Yuikawa
Well, that's a shame.
Negotiations have broken down, I'd say.

Shinohara, I'm going to join Nanase.
[20:53] Shinji
Nanase! Don't just attack blindly!
[20:55] Nanase
I know already!
[20:56] Shinji
Do you want to be killed by my attacks?
[20:58] Nanase
Just aim 'em so you don't hit me!
[21:05] Shinji
Why did you do that, Nanase?
[21:08] Nanase
Because that guy...
[21:10] Shinji
Huh? Well, ultimately,
we did beat Ibara Academy.
[21:14] Shinji
But did you weigh up the odds?
[21:15] Shinji
Who protected you when you charged
into an enemy area with no plan?
[21:19] Hiroto
Hey, Enomoto. That's enough.
[21:21] Shinji
It was the same last year.
[21:23] Shinji
We kept tripping over each other
and an inferior team finally got us.
[21:27] Shinji
We aren't here for fun!
[21:29] Shinji
If we have to deal with your stupidity,
it'll be an issue for everyone!
[21:32] Nanase
Why? I thought...
[21:35] Shinji
Huh? Speak up, will you—
[21:37] Nanase
Shut up!
[21:39] Nanase

Wait. This looks a little different

[02:45] Hiroto
And why does Kazami
sound like she's out of it?
[02:49] Hiroto
First, we need to figure out
how this doppelgänger thing works.
[02:53] Nanase
Right, yeah. I was wondering
about that. What is she?
[02:56] Hiroto
She came in, guns blazing,
saying she was the true Empress,
[03:00] Hiroto
but it looks like she can copy the
appearance of anyone in ASTRAL.
[03:04] Nanase
So, wait, she could turn into any of us, too?
[03:08] Shinji
Hmph.
[03:09] Nanase
What?
[03:10] Shirayuki
Yes, but if we employ information-sensing
abilities, we can prevent that.
[03:14] Nanase
In other words, just don't give her
any opportunity to replace us.
[03:18] Hiroto
We should try to always
keep our teammates in sight.
[03:23] Hiroto
Inside the game, we should
move in pairs at a minimum.
[03:26] Hiroto
Got it?

[04:38] Sarasa
Huh? G-Gimme ten minutes.
[04:40] Hiroto
T-Ten minutes? Are you kidding?
[04:43] Sarasa
Then, five. Give me five minutes.
Wait out there for me.
[04:47] Hiroto
That's still too long!
[04:53] Sarasa
Come in.
[04:55] Hiroto
O-Okay.
[05:01] Sarasa
H-Hey, quit looking around, dummy.
[05:04] Hiroto
U-Uh, right.
[05:06] Sarasa
Th-That doesn't mean you should look at me.
[05:09] Hiroto
Then where am I supposed to look?
[05:11] Sarasa
Wh-Why don't you look out the window
at all the lights? Aren't they pretty?
[05:16] Hiroto
If anyone saw me here,
it'd be a huge scandal.
[05:19] Hiroto
"Passionate Love Between Seven Star Transfer
Student and Genius Princess Uncovered."
[05:24] Sarasa
"P-Passionate love"? Y-You dummy!
[05:27] Sarasa
I'm obviously out of your league!
[05:30] Hiroto
Can I at least sit down?
There's something I wanna talk to you about.
[05:34] Hiroto
It's about the doppelgänger.
[05:37] Sarasa
Everything seems to be
about her these days.
[05:41] Sarasa
It's such a pain, though. She gets all the
attention because she looks just like me.
[05:46] Sarasa
And she's such a good actor.
It pisses me off.
[05:49] Sarasa
Normally, you'd think
people wouldn't stand for it.
[05:52] Hiroto
People are already calling her
"Miss Hundred Faces."
[05:56] Sarasa
I bet people are gonna stop trusting
their friends over the tiniest things now.
[06:01] Sarasa
Teams might even
self-destruct over suspicions.
[06:04] Hiroto
Yeah, that doesn't seem impossible.
[06:06] Hiroto
The team likely to be most affected
by this Miss Hundred Faces is Eimei.
[06:10] Hiroto
And, uh, actually, if I don't take out
two other commanders today,
[06:15] Hiroto
I lose a bet with my teammate.
[06:18] Sarasa
W-Wait, how can you say
that so casually? That's bad.
[06:21] Hiroto
Sorry. But it's not like
I'm not prepared for it.
[06:25] Sarasa
Huh? You mean you've got a plan of some kind?
[06:28] Hiroto
Yeah. That's what I sneaked
over here to talk to you about.
[06:33] Hiroto
A way to finish top of ASTRAL even after
Miss Hundred Faces has shaken everything up.
SIGN ASTRAL Third Day: Morning
[06:40] Azuminodai A
We need to take more bases.
[06:42] Azuminodai B
Then we should try going that way instead.
[06:45] Azuminodai A
Yeah, I guess so.
[06:46] Azuminodai A
Huh?
[06:47] Azuminodai B
What?
[06:54] Yayoi Academy A
What are you doing?
[06:55] Yayoi Academy B
Wait a minute!
[07:16] Shinji
Hey, Nanase. You're walking too far ahead.
[07:18] Nanase
You can still see me, can't you? I'm just
leading the way 'cause I'm the best fighter.
[07:23] Shinji
I can still see you right now,
but you're being too careless.
[07:28] Nanase
You just need to keep up!
You're seriously pissing me off!
[07:29] Shirayuki
Master, if you wish, I can intervene.
[07:32] Shinji
I don't care if you're pissed off. If we don't
follow the plan we talked about last night...
[07:33] Hiroto
Ah, no. I should do it myself.
[07:43] Hiroto
What is this?
[07:45] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, it must be that
super versatile ability, Blackout!
[07:48] Hiroto
This is bad! There's zero visibility!
[07:51] Hiroto
I won't know if someone gets replaced!
[07:53] Shinji
Answer me, Nanase! What did you
buy me for my birthday last year?
[07:58] Nanase
Huh? I-I don't remember.
Why ask me that now?
[08:01] Nanase
Are you suggesting I'm Miss Hundred Faces?
[08:04] Shinji
You could be, so answer!
[08:06] Nanase
There's no way! But with the way you're
talking, you might be Miss Hundred Faces.
[08:10] Hiroto
Oh, man, this is bad. What do I do now?
[08:21] Shinji
Hey, Nanase, where are you going?
There's still the afternoon—
[08:23] Nanase
I'm done!
[08:25] Nanase
I'm tired of being a suspect.
[08:27] Nanase
I'm not playing this afternoon.
[08:29] Shinji
What?
[08:30] Shinji
Wait, Nanase!
[08:35] Shinji
Sorry. I need to go cool my head.
[08:39] Shinji
There's a good chance Nanase and I
won't be able to play this afternoon.
[08:42] Shinji
No, we probably shouldn't
play in the first place.
[08:46] Shirayuki
Enomoto-sama, if you back out now,
what happens to your leadership bet?
[08:51] Shinji
Oh, you're right.
[08:52] Shinji
Let's just say I was never cut out
to be the commander to begin with.
[08:59] Noa
Man, those two. I wish they
could be a bit more easygoing.
SIGN ASTRAL Third Day: Afternoon
[09:12] Noa
Looks like Mya-chan and
the council prez are no-shows.
[09:15] Shirayuki
Players cannot join a
session once it is underway,
[09:18] Shirayuki
so the earliest they will be
back is tomorrow morning.
[09:21] Hiroto
Yeah. It is what it is.
[09:23] Hiroto
Let's fight our way through
this afternoon like we discussed.
[09:27] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, I know you only just started,
but you're surrounded!
[09:32] Hiroto
Himeji! Akizuki! Two teams
inbound from the north and south!
[09:36] Hiroto
At this rate, we'll be flanked!
[09:37] Noa
Huh?
[09:38] Hiroto
I bet the person who used
Blackout is on one of those teams.
[09:42] Noa
Aw! Just when it was starting to feel
like a date, it's all ruined! Jeez.
[09:47] Shirayuki
I do not mind at all if that feeling is ruined,
but being flanked spells trouble for us.
[09:53] Noa
If their whole goal was to force out
Mya-chan and the prez,
[09:56] Noa
they'll probably attack right away.
[09:58] Hiroto
Yeah, makes sense.
[10:00] Noa
Is our plan really going to work?
[10:04] Noa
I know you and I are the most
powerful power couple ever,
[10:07] Noa
and as third wheels go,
Maid-chan's pretty useful...
[10:10] Noa
But wouldn't it be better to run?
[10:12] Shirayuki
I shall teach you who the "third wheel" is
soon enough, but I have doubts myself.
[10:17] Hiroto
Well, then, maybe we should try and
squeeze a little more out of our secret plan.
[10:30] Kururugi
It's been two days since I met you,
Mr. "Strongest on Academy Island."
[10:34] Hiroto
Why'd it have to be her?
[10:36] Hiroto
Sorry that we're short two.
I wanted to face you with a full team.
[10:41] Kururugi
That's no problem. After all, I'm the one
who made sure they'd be out of the picture.
[10:46] Hiroto
Hah. You even admit it? So that whole
"straight arrow" thing was just an act?
[10:51] Kururugi
It's time to put an end to this.
[10:53] Shirayuki
Master, I will leave her to you.
[10:58] Kagurazuki student A
Huh? T-Two of them?
[10:59] Kagurazuki student B
Th-This is bad! Let's split!
[11:03] Kururugi
Are you in your right mind?
[11:05] Kururugi
You plan to face me alone?
[11:09] Kururugi
Not another step!
There's one of you and five of us.
[11:12] Kururugi
We have a larger number of spells than you.
[11:15] Kururugi
Even someone like you can't beat those odds.
[11:20] Hiroto
Oh, I wouldn't say that.

[11:48] Kururugi
How dare you!
[11:52] Shirayuki
I have returned, Master.
[11:54] Hiroto
Yeah. Good work, Himeji.
[11:56] Kagaya
Teehee. That worked a treat!
[11:59] Kagaya
Shirayuki-chan pretended to go with Noa
and caught the Tsuyuri team off guard.
[12:04] Hiroto
Question is, did that disrupt
the conditions for One-Shot Kill?
[12:10] Shirayuki
Master!
[12:16] Kururugi
I guess that Barrier kept me
from finishing you off.
[12:20] Hiroto
It still wiped out most
of your life points. Damn it.
[12:23] Hiroto
Let's retreat.
[12:24] Shirayuki
Right!
[12:30] Kururugi
What's this?
[12:33] Kururugi
Such insolence!
SIGN Spell
[12:34] Kururugi
You're using a Counteract spell and trying
to turn the battlefield to your advantage?
[12:38] Hiroto
Yeah, do you think?
[12:41] Hiroto
The misdirection's working.
But this is bad.
[12:44] Hiroto
Kururugi's One-Shot Kill
isn't disarmed yet.
[12:47] Shirayuki
Master.
[12:49] Shirayuki
I have an idea.
[12:51] Shirayuki
If it works, we will eliminate
another Tsuyuri member.
[12:55] Shirayuki
But I will have to risk my life.
[12:58] Shirayuki
Knowing that, may I ask
you to please trust me?
[13:01] Hiroto
Of course you can. I've never
not trusted you. Not even once.
[13:06] Shirayuki
Okay. Thank you very much.
[13:11] Shirayuki
I will not allow you to go any further.
[13:13] Hiroto
Himeji?
[13:16] Kururugi
Oh? Don't tell me you're going
to try the same thing again?
[13:19] Shirayuki
If that is what you think, then why not
make the first move yourself?
[13:23] Kururugi
I see how it is. Then I shall.
[13:34] Kururugi
Damn you! What did you do?
[13:36] Shirayuki
I used Numerical Adjustment.
[13:39] Kururugi
Ridiculous!
[13:40] Shirayuki
Attack spells are programmed to
deal damage to the targeted player.
[13:45] Shirayuki
But by recalculating the target and timing,
I can redirect the attack.
SIGN Ability
[13:50] Hiroto
She managed to calculate
all that in seconds?

W-Wow. She isn't the
Company's leader for nothing.
[13:56] Kururugi
D-Damn you. What are you?
[14:00] Shirayuki
I am a maid.
[14:02] Shirayuki
The personal maid of Academy Island's
strongest student, Shinohara Hiroto-sama.
[14:14] Kururugi
This battle's more difficult than
I imagined, but I'm not worried.
[14:18] Kururugi
I'm making them use up their spells.
[14:25] Kururugi
Impossible. When did they use Trap?
[14:28] Hiroto
That's three down.
[14:30] Hiroto
Our Little Devil has a knack for
reading people's plans and moves.
[14:35] Hiroto
She's been dropping those Traps she loves
all around during the fight.
[14:42] Kururugi
I see now. You were planning this all along
when you went after Kagurazuki.
[14:46] Kururugi
You don't disappoint,
Mr. "Strongest on Academy Island."
[14:49] Kururugi
However, your plan has one fatal flaw.
[14:52] Hiroto
Flaw?
[14:54] Kururugi
You have clearly used far
too many Counteract spells.
[14:58] Kururugi
I bet you didn't prepare
any real attack spells.
[15:01] Hiroto
Oh, yeah? You wouldn't know how many—
[15:03] Kururugi
You used 35.
[15:05] Kururugi
You've used Counteract 35 times.
[15:08] Kururugi
Counting the Magic Blast at the start,
[15:10] Kururugi
there shouldn't be a single spell
left in your personal slots.
[15:14] Hiroto
Seriously? She was able
to count during all that?
[15:19] Shirayuki
You may have forgotten,
but Master still has me by his side.
[15:23] Shirayuki
You will not get to him
without going through his maid first.
[15:33] Hiroto

SIGN Medusa's

SIGN Ability
[15:35] Kururugi
Medusa's Magic Eye.
[15:37] Kururugi
It's an ability that prevents an
opponent from moving for one minute.
[15:41] Hiroto
That sure sounds handy.
[15:42] Kururugi
With this, our victory is ensured.
[15:45] Hiroto
Are you sure? Doesn't One-Shot Kill
require your teammates' cooperation?
[15:52] Kururugi
Actually, One-Shot Kill only produces
its greatest effect when I'm fighting alone.
[15:58] Hiroto
Huh?
[15:58] Kururugi
But that was much too sad.
[16:02] Kururugi
I used an ability to overwrite and
restrict its conditions for activation,
[16:07] Kururugi
so that I would not be able
to use it without allies.
[16:10] Kururugi
But now, I must undo that restriction.
[16:14] Kururugi
Please forgive my cowardice.
[16:19] Hiroto
Wha...
[16:20] Kururugi
From the beginning,
I was always stronger alone.
[16:23] Kururugi
Now you will regret ever belittling us.
[16:31] Kururugi
One-Shot Kill!
[16:40] Kururugi
Wha...
[16:44] Kururugi
Wh-What's going on?
Your slots should be empty by now!
[16:49] Hiroto
Yeah, you could say I changed a bunch
of spaces to green, but that would be...
[16:54] Hiroto
your misunderstanding.
[16:56] Kururugi
It can't be!

Huh? Hey!
[17:32] Shirayuki
Well done, Master.
[17:34] Hiroto
Himeji.
[17:35] Shirayuki
Kururugi-sama is quite
adept in battle, isn't she?
[17:38] Shirayuki
Her intuition and
resourcefulness are top-level.
[17:42] Hiroto
But wasn't it a little strange?
That Electronic Interference, I mean.
[17:45] Hiroto
If she'd timed an attack spell with it,
she could have taken me out.
[17:49] Shirayuki
It does seem that way.
Perhaps she had a reason not to.
[17:53] Noa
Hiroto-kun!
[17:57] Noa
I took care of those other two.
Didn't I do good?
[18:02] Hiroto
Y-Yeah.
[18:04] Hiroto
Thanks a lot. I survived thanks to you.
[18:07] Noa
All right!
[18:09] Noa
But isn't it kind of weird?
[18:12] Noa
Even though we wiped out Kagurazuki,
[18:14] Noa
Eimei's area hasn't
increased by even one space.
[18:20] Hiroto
You're right. That's strange.
[18:23] Noa
Now that I think of it,
those two said something weird.
[18:26] Noa
Something about "working under
Miss Hundred Faces' umbrella."
[18:30] Hiroto
What could that mean?
[18:32] Hiroto
With all this happening,
I don't think it's unrelated.
[18:35] Hiroto
That guy must be plotting
something after all.
[18:39] Hiroto
At this point, I've only got
one shot. It's all or nothing.
[18:42] Hiroto
Listen up, you two. Trust me
and listen to what I have to say.
[18:49] Shinji
I'm really, really sorry.
[18:51] Shinji
I watched the live broadcast. So did Nanase.
[18:54] Shinji
Thanks to my arrogance, your name
and Eimei's got dragged through the mud.
[18:59] Hiroto
Enomoto, tell me the truth.
[19:02] Hiroto
Did you really suspect that
Asamiya was Miss Hundred Faces?
[19:07] Shinji
No, I just said it to make her mad.
[19:11] Shinji
She's foolish, but she's honest and pure.
She doesn't respond well to cruelty.
[19:15] Shinji
If she'd stayed in the game,
she would've fallen apart.
[19:18] Shinji
I wanted to make sure that didn't—
[19:20] Shinji
Why are you looking at me like that?
[19:22] Hiroto
Huh? Oh, uh, it's like you just
started opening up all of a sudden.
[19:28] Shinji
It's something that's always on my mind,
[19:30] Shinji
but I don't want to complicate things,
so I keep my mouth shut.
[19:38] Nanase
S-Sorry, Shino! I wasn't trying
to eavesdrop, I promise!
[19:42] Shinji
How much did you hear, Nanase?
[19:44] Shinji
Depending on your answer,
I may have to erase your memory!
[19:47] Nanase
Um, I know, I know!
[19:49] Nanase
"I totally have the hots for Nanase."
It was around that part.
[19:52] Shinji
I never said anything like that!
[19:55] Shinji
And that's not how I talk anyway!
[19:57] Nanase
Then, "She's always on my mind."
[20:00] Shinji
I didn't say that!
[20:01] Nanase
Y-You totally did say that!
[20:04] Hiroto
I noticed something when
I watched the video on Libra.
[20:08] Hiroto
When we were talking to
the Ibara Academy guys,
[20:10] Hiroto
one of them was about
to use a Magic Blast spell.
[20:13] Hiroto
I noticed when I slowed it
down to one-tenth speed.
[20:17] Hiroto
That's the guy Asamiya attacked.
[20:19] Shinji
Is that what happened?
[20:21] Shinji
So you weren't just charging ahead?
You had a reason for doing that?
[20:25] Nanase
I told you, I'm trying to do
my part for everyone.
[20:28] Nanase
Shino's totally reliable,
Noa's cute and super clever,
[20:33] Nanase
Yuki-rin's also cute and super smart,
[20:35] Nanase
and you, Shinji...
Well, I wouldn't call you cute,
[20:38] Nanase
but you do help hold the team together.
[20:42] Nanase
All I can do is fight.
[20:44] Shinji
That's why you reacted
so abnormally quickly?
[20:47] Nanase
I had to. I saw it going down.
[20:50] Nanase
But, I mean, isn't it all over now?
[20:53] Nanase
Since we don't have any area or spells,
our popularity's dropping,
[20:57] Nanase
and Shino was eliminated.
[20:59] Shinji
Huh? I didn't know that.
Shinohara was eliminated?
[21:03] Nanase
Shino was eliminated from
ASTRAL at the end of the day.
[21:07] Nanase
And he did it to himself.
[21:10] Hiroto
Listen up, you two. Trust me
and listen to what I have to say.
[21:17] Noa; Shirayuki
Huh?
[21:25] Shinji
Why would you do that?!
[21:27] Shinji
Did you do it just to
win your bet with me?
[21:31] Hiroto
Yeah, the bet was one reason,
but not the only one.
[21:35] Shinji
Will you being eliminated
help Eimei win somehow?
[21:41] Hiroto
Miss Hundred Faces has
turned ASTRAL upside-down.
[21:44] Hiroto
She now has groups
working under her "umbrella,"
[21:47] Hiroto
and among her opponents,
we're bottom of the pile.
[21:50] Hiroto
We can't win if we play it by the book.
[21:54] Hiroto
But don't worry.
[21:56] Hiroto
Everything's still...
[21:58] Hiroto
going according to plan.

Miss Hundred Faces' data
is all over the place, meow!
[03:26] Suzuran
All sorts of settings have
been rewritten to help her.
[03:30] Suzuran
She's a cheater with
all sorts of advantages, meow!
[03:33] Suzuran
When I figured that out, I suddenly
felt this huge weight of responsibility.
[03:38] Suzuran
If Miss Hundred Faces goes on to win,
[03:41] Suzuran
it'll be the biggest disaster in
the history of Academy Island!
[03:44] Suzuran
But Libra will take the fall for everything.
[03:49] Suzuran
ASTRAL is supposed to be
a fun, exciting event, meow.
[03:55] Suzuran
I wanted to make it thrilling for everyone,
[03:58] Suzuran
and I spent so much time at Libra, planning
and thinking of ways to make it work, meow.
[04:06] Sarasa
Yes, I know.
[04:08] Suzuran
Sarasa-chan. I don't... I don't...
[04:13] Suzuran
I don't want Libra to be ruined
by something this unfair, meow!
[04:16] Suzuran
I don't want the place I call home
to be destroyed by this, meow!
[04:21] Suzuran
So, Shinohara-kun, Sarasa-chan, please...
[04:25] Suzuran
Please save Libra for me, meow!
[04:28] Hiroto
Sure.
[04:30] Hiroto
I'm the strongest on Academy Island,
and she's the Six Star Empress.
[04:34] Hiroto
Someone like Miss Hundred Faces
is no threat to us.
[04:45] Sarasa
Why do we have to sneak
around hidden like this?
[04:48] Hiroto
W-We don't have a choice.
[04:50] Hiroto
During ASTRAL, we aren't allowed to
have any contact with people from Libra.
[04:56] Shirayuki
Uh, Master...
[04:58] Sarasa
Sh-Shinohara! What do you
think you're touching?
[05:01] Hiroto
Huh? I-I'm not touching anything.
[05:04] Sarasa
But I totally felt something.
[05:07] Sarasa
I'm seriously getting mad here.
[05:09] Hiroto
It's not me! Maybe it was Himeji.
[05:12] Sarasa
Huh? There's no way Yuki would...
[05:16] Shirayuki
This is different. It is beyond my control.
[05:18] Sarasa
Watch it!
SIGN United Army List
[05:28] Sarasa
This is the United Army ability
Miss Hundred Faces is using.
[05:32] Shirayuki
It is rather terrible.
[05:34] Hiroto
She doesn't know where to draw the line.
[05:38] Shirayuki
If Miss Hundred Faces comes in first, all the
academies in her army will be tied for second.
[05:43] Shirayuki
That is what this means.
[05:44] Hiroto
So there's a good reason
for them to want to join.
[05:48] Sarasa
Makes sense.
[05:50] Suzuran
There are already seven teams
attached to Miss Hundred Faces, meow.
[05:54] Hiroto
So Kururugi didn't just run away that time.
She was trying to tie for second.
[06:02] Sarasa
Ew. I just noticed a name I hate.
SIGN Shinra Academy
SIGN Kirigaya Touya
SIGN Suzuki Chinatsu
SIGN Kawagoe Shigetaka
SIGN Yamazaki Ayako
SIGN Mizutani Saya
[06:06] Sarasa
The holder of the
Black Star, Kirigaya Touya.
[06:09] Sarasa
He might be even more trouble
than the Demon Maiden.
[06:12] Hiroto
Seriously?
[06:13] Hiroto
Oh?
SIGN Kugasaki Seiran
SIGN Genda Takemori
[06:17] Hiroto
It's a tough situation, but if we can bring
the other academies together through Libra,
[06:21] Hiroto
we might recover.
[06:23] Hiroto
Miss Hundred Faces holds
less than half of the total area.
[06:26] Hiroto
Which means, if all the other teams band
together, we still have a chance of winning.
[06:31] Sarasa
But how do we get the teams to cooperate?
[06:35] Shirayuki
If Miss Hundred Faces wins,
[06:36] Shirayuki
all of the teams not allied
with her will lose a star.
[06:40] Sarasa
Oh, that's right!
And they'd do anything to avoid that.
[06:44] Sarasa
Including taking on Miss Hundred Faces!
[06:47] Hiroto
So, if I made a glorious return
after being eliminated from ASTRAL,
[06:52] Hiroto
it'd fire people up, don't you think?
[06:54] Sarasa
It sure would.
[06:55] Suzuran
The crowd would go wild for
a good comeback story, meow!
[06:58] Shirayuki
It is a wonderful idea, Master.
[07:00] Hiroto
That's why I'm going to MTCG.
[07:03] Suzuran
If you clear the most
difficult route in MTCG,
[07:07] Suzuran
you can get the Wild Card that lets
you take part in ASTRAL again, meow.
[07:10] Shirayuki
You only have tomorrow
morning to clear that route.
[07:15] Sarasa
I wonder if that's long enough.
[07:17] Hiroto
Kazami, we don't have much time.
What's the quickest way to win the Wild Card?
[07:22] Suzuran
You'll have to defeat the Sixth Assassin
in the hidden quest, meow.
[07:27] Hiroto
The Sixth Assassin?
[07:28] Suzuran
An outside participant
who's in middle school.
SIGN The Sixth Assassin
[07:31] Hiroto
In middle school?
[07:33] Hiroto
Wait, do you mean Shiina Tsumugi?
[07:36] Suzuran
H-How'd you know that, Shinohara-kun?
[07:38] Hiroto
Oh, well, it's because...
H-How do I explain this?
[07:43] Sarasa
So, you innocently bumped into a
middle schooler after hours in the hotel,
[07:46] Sarasa
then spent the night with her? Huh.
[07:50] Shirayuki
What a marvelously fast
worker you are, Master.
[07:53] Hiroto
Would you quit trying to spin it like that?
[07:56] Suzuran
Anyway, Tsumugi-chan's
the final boss in MTCG, meow.
[08:01] Hiroto
Still, I have to enter MTCG, defeat Shiina,
get the Wild Card, then return to ASTRAL?
[08:10] Hiroto
Can you guys last that long?
[08:13] Shirayuki
Do not worry, Master.
[08:15] Sarasa
Why are you getting cold feet now?
That isn't like you.
[08:18] Sarasa
You don't need to worry about
Eimei or Ouka being tough enough.
[08:22] Sarasa
Just concentrate on coming back to us
as soon as you can, stupid Shinohara.
[08:28] Shirayuki
That is very sly of you, Sarasa-sama.
[08:37] Hiroto
All right, then. Time we got started.
SIGN The Next Day
SIGN ASTRAL Fourth Day: Morning
[08:51] Suzuran
We're here, meow! This is the MTCG site.
[08:55] Hiroto
Whoa.
[09:02] Suzuran
I'll support you, just like we planned, meow.
[09:05] Hiroto
Right. Thank you, Kazami.
[09:07] Suzuran
Check your Device, meow.
[09:09] Hiroto
Hm?
SIGN Strengthen
SIGN Exchange
[09:11] Suzuran
The important things in MTCG
are cards, quests, and coins.
[09:16] Suzuran
There are cards numbered one to nine, meow.
[09:20] Suzuran
Add them up and you get
your familiar's level, meow.
[09:24] Suzuran
There are five quest stages. The goal for
each one is to beat your opponent's familiar.
[09:29] Suzuran
In order to do that, you have to raise your
familiar's level to match your opponent's.
[09:35] Hiroto
So it's a number-matching game.
SIGN Strengthen
SIGN Exchange
[09:37] Suzuran
That's right, meow!
[09:39] Suzuran
And to level up, you have to use
"Strengthen" and "Exchange" on your cards.
SIGN Strengthen
[09:43] Suzuran
Strengthen takes time, though, so watch out.
[09:47] Hiroto
I get it. So it's like you buy the numbers.
[09:50] Suzuran
So if you want to save time, use Exchange.
[09:54] Suzuran
Exchange is the easiest way
to increase your level.
[09:58] Suzuran
If you add coins to your card and
exchange it for someone else's,
[10:03] Suzuran
you can boost your level in a snap.
[10:07] Hiroto
So the coins compensate
for the gap in the values.

[10:23] Yuikawa
Whoo!
[10:31] Yuikawa
Well, well. Isn't this amusing, Shinohara-kun?
[10:35] Hiroto
Who were you again?
[10:37] Yuikawa
I'm the guy you kicked out of ASTRAL,
Yuikawa from Ibara Academy!
[10:43] Yuikawa
I bet you're also here
aiming for a second chance,
[10:48] Yuikawa
but I'm already on quest stage five.
[10:51] Yuikawa
I'm about to clear this whole thing.
[10:54] Yuikawa
It's impossible for you to catch up.
[10:57] Tsuyuri D
Hey.
[11:00] Tsuyuri D
Which card do you want?
[11:02] Hiroto
Huh?
[11:03] Hiroto
A four card.
[11:05] Tsuyuri D
Right. In that case, I'll trade
your one card and 100 coins for it.
[11:11] Yuikawa
Hey! Don't just start talking
to him like I'm not here!
[11:17] Hiroto
Just 100 coins? It'd really help, though.
[11:20] Tsuyuri D
You're trying to beat her, right?
Miss Hundred Faces.
[11:24] Hiroto
And what if I am?
[11:26] Tsuyuri D
Our leader, Kururugi Senri,
is always dependable.
[11:31] Tsuyuri D
I'm sure she made the right choice
allying with Miss Hundred Faces.
[11:35] Tsuyuri D
But she had to do it
because we were too weak.
[11:40] Tsuyuri D
I'm ashamed.
[11:42] Tsuyuri D
That's why...
[11:44] Tsuyuri D
I want you to return to ASTRAL.
[11:48] Tsuyuri D
Please set Senri free.
[11:51] Tsuyuri D
All of us at Tsuyuri want to get stronger.
[11:54] Tsuyuri D
And to do that together.
[11:58] Hiroto
I see. Thanks for trading
number cards with me.
[12:03] Hiroto
I can't say I'm doing it for Tsuyuri,
but I will defeat Miss Hundred Faces.
[12:10] Tsuyuri D
I understand. That's good enough.
[12:15] Hiroto
That sure helped.
I'm already up to Level 6.
[12:18] Suzuran
Meow!
[12:20] Suzuran
Now ya gotta look for
a new opponent, meow.

[12:33] Kagurazuki C
Huh? Sh-Shinohara?
[12:35] Kagurazuki C
You're kidding me. You're already
challenging me? But you just got here!
[12:39] Electronic voice

[13:03] Hiroto

[13:13] Electronic voice

I'll use Level Up to change my numbers, too.

[13:56] Suzuran
Over there is an Adjuster. He can
exchange your cards and coins, meow.
[14:03] Hiroto
I want to make an exchange.
[14:05] Hiroto
I'll give you a one card.
[14:08] Hiroto
In exchange, give me a Reward Up card.
[14:11] Adjuster
Huh?
[14:12] Mob student A
He's getting rid of a number card?
[14:14] Mob student B
How can he clear the game if he
doesn't have enough number cards?
[14:19] Adjuster
Are you in your right mind?
[14:22] Hiroto
Yeah. Do it.
[14:25] Adjuster
Very well.
[14:27] Adjuster
The exchange rate between the
one card and the Reward Up card...
[14:31] Adjuster
i-is 99,000 coins.
[14:34] Mob student
Wait, 99,000?
[14:36] Mob student
That's a huge amount!
[14:38] Mob student
Is he serious?
[14:39] Hiroto
Sounds good. I accept the trade.
[14:41] Suzuran
Meow-sands!
[14:46] Hiroto
Good.
[14:46] Mob student A
He got dozens of hours'
worth of coins in a snap?
[14:49] Mob student B
What's he planning?
[14:52] Suzuran
Th-That was amazing, Shinohara-kun!
Nobody else would've thought of that, meow!
[14:57] Suzuran
Now you can exchange as
many cards as you want, meow!
[15:02] Hiroto
After that...
[15:06] Hiroto
I progressed through the quests.
[15:10] Hiroto
And with Libra's help, I soon
had three number cards again.
[15:15] Hiroto
I have to hurry and get them all up to nine.
[15:19] Tatara
Shi-no-ha-ra-kun!
[15:26] Tatara
We thought you might be
wanting these about now.
[15:30] Tsuji
We've been increasing our
numbers since this morning.
[15:32] Tsuji
Between me and Tatara-san,
we now have two nine cards.
[15:36] Hiroto
Wow, guys. Are you gonna
trade them with me?
[15:39] Tatara
Of course!
[15:41] Tatara
And forget exchange rates.
We're Eimei buddies, after all.
[15:45] Tsuji
If you can win here, Shinohara-kun,
Eimei might be able to turn things around.
[15:50] Tsuji
I want to see that happen.
So, please take them.
[15:54] Tatara
Eimei's future is riding on it.
Do your best in ASTRAL, Shinohara-kun!
[15:58] Hiroto
Yeah, I will.
[16:01] Hiroto
I'll keep that dream of yours
alive from here on out.
[16:07] Hiroto
Thanks a lot, Tatara and Tsuji.
[16:10] Tatara
It's cool. Good luck.
[16:14] Tatara

[16:20] Kagaya

[16:21] Kagaya
I was able to access
Tsumu-Tsumu's personal data,
[16:25] Kagaya
but security's tight and
I'm stuck on the last password.
[16:28] Kagaya
It should be the level she's set at,
but that's gonna take a while to decipher.
[16:34] Kagaya
Hiro-kyun, can you
squeeze it out of her sooner?
[16:38] Hiroto
Understood.
[16:40] Hiroto
Shiina's level, huh?
[16:49] Yuikawa
Ah, Shinohara. You got pretty close.
[16:54] Yuikawa
But now you get to stand and watch in shame!
[17:08] Tsumugi
So you were in the MTCG, huh, mister?
[17:12] Hiroto

I'm totally, totally gonna win this game!
[18:42] Hiroto
"Totally"?
[18:45] Hiroto
Are you really that sure?
[18:48] Hiroto
This game is just about matching numbers.
[18:51] Hiroto
If you only try to get a
higher number, you'll lose.
[18:55] Hiroto
Which means...
[18:56] Hiroto
It's negative, isn't it?
[18:59] Hiroto
Your level is below zero.
[19:04] Tsumugi
Oh, wow.
[19:06] Tsumugi
You're totally right.
[19:09] Tsumugi
My level is -99.
[19:12] Tsumugi
Lloyd's a guard dog from hell,
so my level got inverted.
[19:16] Hiroto
Huh. That sounds like
something you'd think of.
[19:19] Hiroto

Huh?
[20:05] Tsumugi
Why is Lloyd at Level 30 now?!
[20:09] Lloyd
Bow-gwow?
[20:10] Hiroto
Because Kagaya-san hacked

Is he making a comeback?
[22:05] Hiroto
I won the Wild Card in MTCG.
[22:10] Hiroto
So now I can play in ASTRAL again.
[22:14] Hiroto
I also learned something interesting.
[22:18] Hiroto
Miss Hundred Faces isn't even a player.
[22:21] Hiroto
She's just an enemy character
the admins threw in.
[22:25] Hiroto
She's a gimmick to make
the game more exciting.
[22:29] Hiroto
All of you are the top players
from your academies.
[22:33] Hiroto
I know you have some stars, too.
[22:37] Hiroto
Are you gonna let some enemy
character make fools of you?
[22:40] Hiroto
Do you want to be humiliated?
[22:42] Hiroto
I realize the situation is desperate.
[22:46] Hiroto
It might seem impossible
to turn things around now.
[22:49] Hiroto
But if you don't want to
lose to a cheating villain,
[22:53] Hiroto
what do you say to
combining all our forces?
[22:57] Hiroto
If we form an alliance, we might
get ahead of Miss Hundred Faces.
[23:02] Hiroto
And your leader will be
the resurrected Seven Star.
[23:06] Hiroto
The strongest on Academy Island. Me.

If your team wants to join the alliance,
make a Truce Agreement with Eimei Academy.

[00:26] Nanase
Like usual.
[00:32] Kurahashi
Why, you sneaky little...
[00:35] Kurahashi
Never mind. I'll use my pieces on the board...
[00:41] Kurahashi
to crush you as many times as it takes.
[00:49] Hiroto
Let's review the
situation one more time.
SIGN Soldiers
and Friends
[00:53] Hiroto
Just before the first period
of the fourth day ended,
[00:55] Hiroto
I got all the teams not under
Miss Hundred Faces' control...
SIGN District 2
SIGN Suisei Academy
[00:58] Hiroto
Suisei,
SIGN District 3
SIGN Ouka Academy
[00:59] Hiroto
Ouka,
SIGN District 10
SIGN Oumi Academy
[01:00] Hiroto
Oumi,
SIGN District 13
SIGN Murakamo Academy
[01:01] Hiroto
Murakumo,
SIGN District 19
SIGN Souken Academy
[01:02] Hiroto
and Souken to form an alliance with us.
[01:04] Shirayuki
Including Eimei, there are 20 players
still active in our Allied Army.
[01:09] Shirayuki
Miss Hundred Faces' United Army
has a total of 14 players.
SIGN Seijo Academy
SIGN Shinra
SIGN Otowa
SIGN Tsuyuri
SIGN Saint Rosalia
[01:13] Shirayuki
In terms of academies, that means Seijo,
Shinra, Otowa, Saint Rosalia, and Tsuyuri.
[01:20] Nanase
So we have more people.
[01:23] Noa
But they have a lot more
in the way of firepower.
[01:26] Shinji
Even united, the strongest teams don't stand
a chance against Kugasaki and Kururugi.
[01:30] Hiroto
Miss Hundred Faces is
an unauthorized player,
[01:34] Hiroto
propped up by the former
Seijo headmaster, Kurahashi.
[01:37] Hiroto
She's been using illegal methods
to change any setting she wants.
[01:41] Hiroto
Movement Value set to max.
Unlimited spells.
[01:44] Hiroto
She combined the benefits of the various roles,
and had full map access from the start.
[01:49] Hiroto
And the cherry on top is
she has 999 life points.
[01:53] Noa
Wait, 999?!
[01:55] Nanase
She's, like, invincible.
[01:57] Hiroto
No, there's still one way to beat her.
[02:01] Hiroto
The Demon Maiden.
[02:04] Hiroto
Even with 999 life points, Kururugi Senri's
One-Shot Kill might be able to take her down.
[02:11] Noa
So that's the only way to
beat Miss Hundred Faces?
[02:15] Hiroto
If we can defeat Kururugi
and make her listen,
[02:18] Hiroto
we might be able to
convince her to help us.
[02:20] Shirayuki
But if we wish to fight Kururugi-sama,
we shall need some sort of plan.
[02:25] Hiroto
Yeah. We'll supplement our captured area.
[02:28] Hiroto
If we cut straight through here,
we'll reach the area of our ally, Oumi.
[02:34] Hiroto
If we can just get them
to give us one base...
[02:37] Nanase
Oh, right! Then we can overwrite
all of this as Eimei's area.
[02:40] Shinji
If we can claim this as ours,
it'll give us an advantage.
[02:44] Hiroto
I'll act as a decoy to draw the enemy away.
[02:47] Hiroto
Enomoto and Akizuki, you two
go meet up with Oumi Academy,
[02:50] Hiroto
and negotiate for one of their bases.
[02:53] Noa
I'll do my bestest!
[02:55] Shinji
Can't you at least ask
politely, Shinohara?
[02:58] Nanase
Oh, quit grumbling and get to work.
[03:00] Shirayuki
It is crucial we work together.
[03:02] Hiroto
All right. You know what to do, guys.
[03:05] Hiroto
We can't hold back at all.
[03:07] Hiroto
This is all-out war.
[03:09] Suzuran
S-S-Something wild is
about to happen, meow!
SIGN Allied Army
SIGN United Army
SIGN United Army
SIGN Attack
[03:13] Suzuran
The Allied Army Eimei has put together
[03:17] Suzuran
is taking the fight to Miss Hundred
Faces' United Army, meow!
[03:20] Suzuran
The United Army holds
the center of the map,
SIGN Allied Army
SIGN United Army
SIGN Attack
[03:23] Suzuran
and the Allied Army plans to squeeze
them from above and below, meow!
[03:27] Suzuran
The first engagement is on the right.
SIGN Allied Army
SIGN United Army
[03:29] Suzuran
The main unit of Miss
Hundred Faces' United Army
[03:31] Suzuran
clashes with the Empress,
Saionji Sarasa, of the Allied Army!
[03:35] Suzuran
In the center, Kirigaya Touya and
Kugasaki Seiran's Absolute Monarchy team
SIGN Allied Army
SIGN United Army
[03:40] Suzuran
will battle the Allied Army's combined
Suisei Academy and Souken Academy team.
[03:45] Suzuran
And then next, we have Kururugi
Senri's Demon Maiden team,
SIGN Allied Army
SIGN United Army
[03:51] Suzuran
facing off against the Allied Army's combined
Eimei Academy and Oumi Academy team!
[03:55] Suzuran
There's only one person who can
fight his way through this mess, meow.
SIGN Eimei Academy's Shinohara Hiroto
[03:59] Suzuran
Back from the brink of death,
Mr. "Strongest" himself: the Seven Star!
[04:03] Suzuran
Shinohara Hiroto's preparing to unleash
Armageddon all over the map, meow!
SIGN Support Rating
[04:10] Suzuran
Shinohara-kun, the rest is up to you, meow.
[04:15] Shinra A
So you came.
[04:19] Hiroto
Doesn't look like she wants to fight.
[04:21] Hiroto
Or maybe she can't?
[04:23] Shinra B
Unfortunately for you, Seven Star,
[04:26] Shinra B
this is a specialist team
that excels in interception.
[04:29] Shinra B
So make it easy for yourself
and go down quietly!
[04:35] Shinra A; B
Huh?
[04:36] Shinra C
No way!
[04:41] Hiroto
Nice one, student council prez.
[04:43] Oumi A
Here I go!
[04:45] Shinra C
Incoming!
[04:46] Shinra B
Tch. From behind?
[04:54] Shinra A
The Seven Star is mine!
[04:59] Shirayuki
Too slow.
[05:19] Hiroto
All right.
[05:24] Shinra A
Take this!
[05:35] Hiroto
Looks like our victory
is pretty much assured.
[05:39] Shinra C
I'm releasing the restraints.
[05:46] Kururugi
You punks, sneaking up on us
from behind like that. How pathetic.
[05:51] Kururugi
Judgment!
[05:57] Hiroto
We lost one from Oumi.
[05:59] Hiroto
So she was being held back.
[06:01] Kururugi
My top priority is to bury you,
Shinohara Hiroto, with my own two hands.
[06:07] Kururugi
The rest of you aren't worth my time.
[06:09] Nanase
Grr!
[06:11] Nanase
Shinji, I'm gonna handle this my way,
so back me up however you like.
[06:16] Shinji
Unreasonable like always.
[06:19] Shinji
But I can accept it. Do it your way, Nanase.
[06:23] Nanase
Gotcha!
[06:25] Kururugi
Why don't you just disappear?
[06:28] Nanase
You expect me to dodge? Not my style!
[06:33] Kururugi
What?
[06:36] Kururugi
What was that?
[06:40] Shinji
An assist ability. Lightning Rod.
SIGN Lightning
Rod
[06:43] Shinji
It made me your target instead.
[06:45] Shinji
And since I was out of range,
your attack obviously didn't connect.
[06:50] Hiroto
Sweet!
[06:51] Shirayuki
That was outstanding.
[06:53] Kururugi
It's not over.
[06:54] Nanase
Don't even think about it!
[06:55] Nanase
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
[06:59] Kururugi
Damn.
[07:00] Kururugi
I need to keep my distance.
[07:04] Kururugi
Wha...
[07:09] Kururugi
How did you do that from so far away?
[07:12] Nanase
It's an ability, obviously.
SIGN Cornered
SIGN Cornered
[07:15] Nanase
"Cornered" increases my attack range and
other skills when my partner's in trouble.
[07:20] Kururugi
And you used that to
protect Enomoto Shinji?
[07:23] Kururugi
I hadn't anticipated that.
[07:25] Kururugi
I didn't realize you were in
such an intimate relationship.
[07:28] Nanase
Huh? W-We aren't close at all.
[07:38] Noa
Boop.
[07:43] Hiroto
Kururugi, you've lost this one.
I know you said you were stronger alone,
[07:48] Hiroto
but seems it was just your imagination.
[07:50] Kururugi
What?
[07:52] Hiroto
Over in MTCG, I bumped
into one of the Tsuyuri girls.
[07:57] Hiroto
She was kinda mad.
[07:58] Kururugi
Mad?
[08:00] Hiroto
Yeah. Because you gave in to Miss Hundred
Faces before the battle was even over.
[08:05] Hiroto
Or, well, she said they were all upset you were
forced into it because they were so weak.
[08:11] Hiroto
So instead of just depending on you, they want
to become strong enough to fight together.
[08:16] Kururugi
Together? I see.
[08:20] Kururugi
I guess I never would have become
the Demon Maiden without them.
[08:25] Kururugi
All right, Seven Star,
go ahead and finish me off.
[08:30] Hiroto
Sorry, but I think I'll pass on that.
[08:33] Hiroto
There's still something
I want you to do for me.
SIGN ASTRAL, Rightmost Area
[08:42] Sarasa
My teammates were wiped out instantly.
[08:44] Sarasa
Miss Hundred Faces is too strong.
[08:46] Sarasa
We have to get everyone
together and attack all at once.
[08:50] Sarasa
But it's all right. I know
he'll bring reinforcements soon.
[08:57] Kirigaya
Well, shucks. That wasn't such a big deal.
[09:02] Kugasaki
Kirigaya Touya.
[09:03] Kugasaki
Who would've thought you could repel the
Allied Army's flank attack all by yourself?
[09:08] Kirigaya
Yeah, well, they're all
just a bunch of losers.
[09:12] Kugasaki
But we're down to just the three of us, too.
[09:15] Minami
So lame. I only came to watch, but now,
I'm like one of the main characters.
[09:20] Minami
What a pain in the butt.
[09:22] Kugasaki
Are you serious? You're from Rosalia.
Minami Shizuku, wasn't it?
[09:27] Minami
You throw my name around and
act like a tyrant. It really pisses me off.
[09:32] Kugasaki
Hey!
[09:33] Kirigaya
You were actually
pretty damn good, though.
[09:35] Kirigaya
You didn't stand out, but you
were always one step ahead.
[09:39] Kirigaya
With the right timing,
I might just fall for you.
[09:42] Minami
Ew.
[09:44] Kirigaya
ASTRAL is my big chance
to seriously boost my rep.
[09:50] Kugasaki
As ambitious as ever. All right,
let's think about taking Eimei down next.
[09:55] Kirigaya
Now you're talking. It's about time.
[09:59] Kirigaya
Sounds like you just showed
our guys a real fun time.
[10:02] Hiroto
Did we? I didn't ask them
what they thought of it.
[10:07] Kirigaya
Well, we've got orders to hunt you and the
Empress down and end you for good this time.
[10:12] Shirayuki
Master.
[10:13] Hiroto
Yep, no doubt about it. Kirigaya Touya's
one of them. He's working for Kurahashi.
[10:19] Kirigaya
Cut the chitchat! Let's get this started.
[10:25] Nanase
Man, that's so annoying.
[10:34] Kugasaki
Witness the power of the Phoenix!
[10:48] Hiroto
So those two aren't the main character here.
[10:54] Kirigaya
Compound Upgrade, activate.
[10:57] Hiroto
Compound Upgrade?
[10:59] Kirigaya
This one's gonna be fun.
SIGN Compound Upgrade
SIGN Effect
SIGN Combines identical spells
to increase the number
of attacks, adding 1.
[11:01] Kirigaya
It was originally a general-purpose ability,
but I used the Black Star to upgrade it.

are meant to be used separately as you want.
[11:12] Kirigaya
All right, let's test it out.
[11:16] Kirigaya
With Magic Blast and Swordflash.
[11:17] Hiroto
Huh?
[11:18] Kirigaya
Mixed together, they make a new kind
of combined spell. And I call it...
[11:23] Kirigaya
Magic Blade!
[11:30] Shirayuki
Master!
[11:34] Hiroto
Himeji!
[11:35] Hiroto
A combined spell? What the hell?
That's so awesome—
[11:38] Hiroto
No, wait, I mean awful.
[11:41] Hiroto
Damn. If we only had more time,
we could come up with a plan.
[11:47] Hiroto
Enomoto?
[11:48] Shinji
Shinohara.
[11:49] Shinji
We need to buy time to
get through this, right?
[11:52] Hiroto
Y-Yeah, I guess.
[11:54] Kirigaya
Huh?
[11:56] Shinji
Understood.
[11:58] Shinji
In that case, I'll buy some time for you.
Use it and work your magic.
[12:02] Kirigaya
You're Eimei's student
council president, right?
[12:05] Hiroto
Okay. Take care of it, Senpai.
[12:08] Shinji
I think you forgot to say
"please," commander.
[12:31] Hiroto
I need to think up a strategy now.
[12:34] Hiroto
Oh! Himeji, do your thing.
[12:37] Shirayuki
Um... R-Right!
SIGN Replacement
[12:43] Kirigaya
The final blow.
[12:46] Kirigaya
What the...
[12:49] Hiroto
Worked like a charm.
[12:51] Kirigaya
Damn you. What did you do to me?
[12:55] Hiroto
I just used the Replacement ability.
[12:59] Hiroto
Your Magic Blade, if you don't mind.
[13:03] Kirigaya
Jeez...
[13:03] Kugasaki
Oh.
[13:03] Minami
Um...
[13:11] Minami
Totally pointless.
I've already seen that attack.
[13:14] Nanase
You're wide open!
[13:19] Minami
There's no way you can beat me.
[13:22] Nanase
You've never fought me before.
[13:26] Minami
Well, you are annoyingly fast.
[13:29] Minami
And you have such sexy thighs.
That's 120 points.
[13:32] Nanase
That's embarrassing! Cut it out!
[13:34] Hiroto
You said it was pointless using Compound
Upgrade because you've seen it, right?
[13:39] Minami
Yeah. I can dodge attacks I know.
[13:42] Hiroto
You're forgetting something
important, though.
[13:46] Hiroto
Even if it's the same ability, the power's
totally different between a Seven and Six Star.
[13:52] Kirigaya
Huh?
[13:52] Kugasaki
Ah.
[13:52] Minami
Hm?
[13:53] Hiroto
Invisible Magic Blade!
[14:03] Kirigaya
Dude!
[14:03] Kugasaki
Oh my.
[14:04] Hiroto
My starting point was that Compound Upgrade
had the power to combine any spells.
[14:09] Hiroto
So I tried combining Magic Blast
and Swordflash, then added in Conceal.
[14:14] Hiroto
That gave me a Magic Blade more powerful
than anything anyone had ever seen.
[14:20] Kirigaya
You got me there, punk.
[14:24] Shirayuki
Brilliant as usual, Master.
[14:27] Hiroto
Of course that's a lie.
[14:30] Hiroto
The Company modified the effect.
[14:33] Kirigaya
Never thought I'd get to pull this one out.
[14:38] Kirigaya
I'm gonna enjoy myself with this one!
[14:46] Hiroto
What?
[14:47] Kirigaya
Dual Wield!
[14:56] Kirigaya
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
[14:58] Kirigaya
You losers!
[15:00] Kirigaya
Time to say good night!
[15:04] Shinji
I guess this is it.
[15:10] Hiroto
Asamiya! Enomoto!
[15:10] Noa
Mya-chan!
[15:10] Shirayuki
Enomoto-sama!
[15:12] Kirigaya
Tch. Finally got rid of two.
[15:15] Kirigaya
What a waste of calories, man.
[15:18] Kirigaya
Shinohara, you can't use
Compound Upgrade anymore.
[15:22] Kirigaya
You got carried away and wasted it.
[15:24] Kirigaya
You've completely run out
of spells, haven't you?
[15:35] Hiroto
Akizuki!
[15:36] Shirayuki
Akizuki-sama, what are you doing?
[15:38] Kirigaya
Huh?
[15:40] Noa
Don't be like that, Shirayuki-chan.
[15:42] Noa
You can't have Hiroto-kun all to yourself.
[15:50] Kirigaya
Then I guess you're next! Die!
[15:56] Hiroto
Akizuki!
[15:56] Shirayuki
Akizuki-sama!
[16:03] Hiroto
Akizuki!
[16:07] Noa
Hiroto-kun, did I help at least a little?
[16:12] Hiroto
Of course you did!
[16:14] Noa
Oh, good. I hope I became your number one.
[16:22] Hiroto
A-Akizuki.
[16:29] Kirigaya
Oh, c'mon now. I had higher
hopes for Eimei's Little Devil,
[16:33] Kirigaya
but I guess a loser's still a loser—
[16:38] Kirigaya
Wh-What?
[16:41] Kagaya
Action Unavailable! It's the same thing
Shirayuki-chan got stuck with!
[16:45] Hiroto
Oh, this must be Akizuki's doing!
[16:47] Kagaya
Yeah, Noa-chan did it!
[16:49] Kagaya
She set up a powerful revenge ability
that'd activate when she got eliminated!
[16:54] Kirigaya
Tch. C'mon, now.
I'm sure you're not that stupid,
[16:58] Kirigaya
but did you really think
this would stop me?
[17:01] Hiroto
What?
[17:07] Kirigaya
Inability Barrier Upgrade.
[17:09] Kirigaya
It's an invincible wall that automatically
shuts out any attack I wasn't able to block.
[17:17] Hiroto
That's your third one, Kirigaya.
[17:20] Hiroto
Compound Upgrade, Dual Wield,
and now, Inability Barrier Upgrade.
[17:24] Hiroto
You've run out of options.
[17:26] Kirigaya
Huh? So what?
[17:28] Kirigaya
As long as this wall is up,
you can't even scratch me.
[17:33] Kirigaya
But I can attack as much
as I want from inside it.
[17:37] Hiroto
Attack from inside it? Right.
[17:41] Kirigaya
Huh?
[17:48] Kirigaya
What?
[17:49] Kugasaki
Essentially, since I am able to cast spells
remotely, I could indeed attack you.
[17:55] Kirigaya
Damn it. Y-You betrayed me, you asshole.
[18:00] Kugasaki
Nonsense!
[18:03] Kugasaki
Did you forget how I got my nickname?
[18:06] Kugasaki
Not only do I adore Saionji
Sarasa with all my heart,
[18:09] Kugasaki
but I am the Phoenix who will rise
to challenge her time and time again.
[18:13] Kugasaki
How could I of all people
tolerate a filthy fake Empress?
[18:17] Kugasaki
I would never accept that!
[18:19] Kirigaya
You mean you planned this from the start—
[18:22] Hiroto
Yup, that's it exactly.
[18:24] Hiroto
It's only for this game...
[18:27] Hiroto
Hello?
[18:29] Kugasaki
Shinohara Hiroto?
[18:31] Hiroto
...but Kugasaki and I teamed up.
[18:33] Kirigaya
Tch. Oh well.

[18:39] Kirigaya
I've lost this one.
[18:43] Kirigaya
I guess I could go down peacefully.
[18:46] Kirigaya
But why the hell would I do that?
[18:55] Hiroto
Himeji!
[19:05] Shirayuki
I am very sorry, Master.
[19:08] Shirayuki
Please forgive me for not being able
to tend to you until the very end.
[19:11] Hiroto
What are you talking about?
[19:13] Hiroto
Why did you go and do that?
[19:15] Shirayuki
This plan only worked because
you were a part of it, Master.
[19:20] Shirayuki
Also, even if I lose a game...
[19:24] Shirayuki
there are still things...
[19:27] Shirayuki
I can do...
[19:31] Shirayuki
for you.
[19:42] Kugasaki
So you're the only one on your team left.
[19:47] Hiroto
Yeah.
[19:48] Hiroto
I just hope Saionji can hold out
until Kururugi gets there to help her.
[19:51] Kugasaki
Hm, I see. So your ace
is the Demon Maiden.
[19:58] Kugasaki
Kirigaya figured Seijo's
indiscretion would be exposed,
[20:01] Kugasaki
so he withdrew from the
United Army at the last second.
[20:04] Kugasaki
If he hadn't withdrawn, his complicity
may have earned him a disqualification.
[20:08] Hiroto
Yeah, he sure is a sneaky one.
[20:10] Kugasaki
Since my betrayal has been exposed,
I've also withdrawn from the United Army.
[20:14] Kugasaki
Maybe I'll follow Kirigaya's lead
and secure my own rank.
[20:19] Kugasaki
It's a little frustrating since
it feels like you read me my eulogy,
[20:22] Kugasaki
but I'll be seeing you, rival.
[20:25] Kugasaki
Now you must protect the
Empress's honor in my place.
[20:33] Hiroto
I just hope Kururugi can
defeat Miss Hundred Faces.
[20:48] Miss Hundred Faces
Guess I'll finish you off.
[20:52] Sarasa
Now!
[20:54] Kururugi
This is...
[20:55] Kururugi
the end for you!
[20:57] Kururugi
One-Shot Kill!
[21:02] Sarasa
Did you get her?
[21:06] Sarasa
You did!
[21:11] Sarasa
Huh?
[21:12] Kururugi
I-I'm sorry.
[21:17] Miss Hundred Faces
What a cheap trick, betraying me like that.
[21:20] Sarasa
This... This can't be.
[21:23] Sarasa
We all did everything we could
to create that opening...
[21:26] Miss Hundred Faces
Well, I guess I expected as much.
[21:28] Sarasa
If One-Shot Kill doesn't
kill you, what's left?
[21:33] Miss Hundred Faces
This means we finally have a winner.
[21:44] Miss Hundred Faces
Oh, what a shame.
[21:46] Miss Hundred Faces
I'll let you hang on to the title
of "Empress" until the final day.
[21:58] Sarasa
How did I survive?

[00:04] Hiroto
So, even with the One-Shot Kill,
we couldn't defeat Miss Hundred Faces.
[00:10] Hiroto
Yeah, I should've expected that.
[00:12] Sarasa
Kind of a bad situation, huh?
[00:14] Hiroto
Oh?
[00:16] Hiroto
Saionji?
[00:23] Sarasa
Huh. And here I was thinking
you'd be kind of down.
[00:27] Hiroto
Speak for yourself.
[00:29] Sarasa
Ahem. Guess you're right. But so what?
[00:34] Hiroto
Saionji, I called you here because
I have something important to say.
[00:39] Sarasa
Huh? To me personally, Shinohara?
[00:41] Hiroto
Saionji...
[00:43] Sarasa
W-Wait, wait! My heart isn't ready for this!
[00:46] Hiroto
Would you hide up there for a bit?
[00:49] Sarasa
Say what?
SIGN Together with You
[00:55] Hiroto
As you know, our attempt
at all-out war was a bust.
[00:58] Hiroto
Basically, we can't beat Miss Hundred Faces...
[01:01] Hiroto
or rather, Shiina Tsumugi
head-on. It's impossible.
[01:05] Nanase
So are we just, like, giving up?
[01:07] Hiroto
Nope, no way. If the enemy's gonna
do whatever it takes, so will we.
[01:12] Shirayuki
We shall fight with all we have.
[01:14] Shinji
You say that, but there's
a huge gulf in firepower.
[01:17] Shinji
It won't be easy to turn it around.
[01:19] Hiroto
So we bring the fight to her by
setting up another game inside ASTRAL.
[01:23] Hiroto
One final game.
[01:26] Shinji
This is something you've been planning, huh?
You sure don't miss a step.
[01:30] Shinji
But how do we convince her to participate?
[01:32] Shirayuki
Good point. Miss Hundred Faces
has already captured the most spaces.
[01:37] Nanase
If she can win by just waiting it out,
why would she bother with another game?
[01:41] Shinji
Also, tomorrow's the final day.
Kurahashi will definitely try to interfere.
[01:45] Hiroto
Yeah. With cheats and disruptions.
[01:48] Hiroto
All things considered, we will have
to beat both Shiina and Kurahashi.
[01:53] Hiroto
Given all of that, do you still trust me?
[01:56] Shirayuki
Yes.
[01:57] Noa
Of course we do!
[01:58] Nanase
Sure.
[01:59] Shinji
Guess I have to.
[02:03] Hiroto
I'm counting on you guys.
[02:05] Hiroto
Let's show them how strong we really are.
[02:09] All four
All right!
[02:14] Hiroto
Now, how do I rope Shiina into another game?
[02:17] Tsumugi
Ah, I was looking for you!
[02:20] Tsumugi
Bro-bro!
[02:21] Hiroto
Is she planning something?
[02:24] Tsumugi
Hey, let's go play some games!
[02:27] Hiroto
Huh?
[02:30] Tsumugi
Aw, I lost again!
[02:32] Hiroto
She's acting like nothing's
changed since yesterday.
[02:35] Hiroto
Hey. You really are Miss
Hundred Faces, aren't you?
[02:39] Tsumugi
Huh? Yeah, I am. I'm participating as
a member of Seijo Academy. That's me!
[02:44] Hiroto
How did you get involved in all this, anyway?
[02:47] Tsumugi
Huh? How?
[02:52] Tsumugi
I don't really like school, so I always just stay
home and play games and do computer stuff.
[02:58] Hiroto
Yeah, you said that before.
[03:00] Tsumugi
I got into middle school and thought
I'd be done with mandatory education soon
[03:05] Tsumugi
and I wouldn't have to
go to school anymore,
[03:08] Tsumugi
but I realized if I don't get into high school,
I can't play the star-catching game!
[03:13] Hiroto
Oh, yeah, I guess you're right.
[03:15] Tsumugi
I didn't want to miss out
on the star-catching game,
[03:19] Tsumugi
so I modded my Device a little
and force-installed a special program!
[03:24] Hiroto
That's all it took to make the first fake
account in Academy Island history?
[03:29] Tsumugi
Impressed?
[03:30] Hiroto
Y-Yeah, super impressed.
[03:35] Tsumugi
And then, one day, I got a message
from this person called Mikado something.
[03:41] Tsumugi
He said, "I want you to join me," and,
"My group could use your talents," and stuff.
[03:46] Tsumugi
It was so fishy! I mean, it sounded like
some evil organization or something.
[03:51] Tsumugi
So that's who invited me to ASTRAL.
[03:54] Tsumugi
And he gave me a star that lets me
make perfect copies of things.
[03:58] Tsumugi
In exchange, he asked me to
send that declaration of war.
[04:02] Tsumugi
The one where I said I was gonna
defeat you and the Empress, you know?
[04:06] Hiroto
Is that right?
[04:07] Hiroto
So that's what happened.
[04:12] Tsumugi
Tomorrow's gonna be
the final battle, right?
[04:15] Tsumugi
The last day I get to play
with you at the event.
[04:19] Tsumugi
I'm so excited, I can't sleep at all...
[04:25] Hiroto
You just fell asleep.
[04:27] Hiroto
I guess Shiina hasn't been told
anything about me and Saionji,
[04:32] Hiroto
and is just playing along.
[04:35] Hiroto
In ASTRAL, she'll be happy if she wins
and sad if she loses. It's just a game to her.
[04:43] Hiroto
But she won't give up. She'll keep
playing the game until somebody wins.
[04:48] Hiroto
So I have to convince her
that she's already lost.
[04:51] Hiroto
I have to make her think the game is over.
SIGN ASTRAL Final Day
[05:05] Hiroto
And so, we finally got the three
surviving ASTRAL players together.
[05:11] Hiroto
Y-You know, Shiina...
[05:15] Miss Hundred Faces
I'm Miss Hundred Faces right now.
[05:18] Hiroto
Could you change back to normal?
[05:21] Hiroto
Wouldn't that make it easier to show off?
[05:24] Miss Hundred Faces
I guess you're right.
[05:25] Miss Hundred Faces
Okay, if you insist.
[05:29] Tsumugi
How's this, bro-bro?
[05:31] Sarasa
"Bro-bro"?
[05:32] Hiroto
Oh, crap!
[05:33] Hiroto
While we're at it, Shiina, this is the first time
we're facing each other on the field,
[05:37] Hiroto
so can we review what's going on?
[05:40] Tsumugi
Huh?
[05:41] Hiroto
There are only three academies
that haven't been eliminated.
[05:45] Hiroto
Ouka, Eimei, and Seijo.
[05:48] Tsumugi
And I have the most area captured, the
most spells, and the highest support rating!
[05:53] Hiroto
You sure do. But aren't you
forgetting something, Shiina?
[05:57] Tsumugi
Huh?
[05:57] Hiroto
Before this event started,
you picked a fight with Saionji, right?
[06:02] Hiroto
You boldly declared war on her on ITube.
[06:07] Tsumugi
Oh, uh, yeah. I guess I did.
[06:10] Hiroto
Remember the main rule of the
game you challenged Saionji to?
[06:14] Hiroto
You haven't forgotten, have you?
[06:15] Tsumugi
I said whoever beats you is the winner.
[06:19] Hiroto
That's right. So, basically, our ranks
in ASTRAL don't really matter.
[06:25] Hiroto
I think you said something else, too.
That if neither of you can beat me,
[06:30] Hiroto
then I'd be considered the
victor of the Empress battle.
[06:34] Hiroto
And I'd get to decide what
happens to you. Remember?
[06:38] Tsumugi
Huh? Did I really say that?
[06:41] Tsumugi
Uh, I guess I might have.
[06:44] Hiroto
That means, in the battle over the title of
"Empress," I could win just by running away.
[06:49] Hiroto
In other words, there's no reason
for me to fight you at all.
[06:53] Hiroto
But if I did that, it would mean
I lose ASTRAL. Same goes for Saionji.
[06:58] Sarasa
I'm not losing the
Empress's throne to you, kid.
[07:02] Sarasa
So I'd be totally fine with
Shinohara running away. But...
[07:07] Sarasa
If you do win ASTRAL, then Ouka drops to
at least sixth place, and I can't accept that.
[07:14] Hiroto
So because of that, Shiina,
why don't we all play a new game instead?
[07:18] Tsumugi
Huh?
[07:20] Hiroto
You understand what I just said, right?
If we play this out, we all lose.
[07:24] Tsumugi
Well, I, um, guess you're right there?
[07:28] Hiroto
So, let's make it more black and white,
and get a real winner instead.
[07:32] Hiroto
We'll play a game called Crossboard.
[07:34] Hiroto
It's a turn-based board game
that works inside ASTRAL.
[07:37] Hiroto
If you can beat me at it, you'll win
the battle for the title of Empress, too.
[07:42] Hiroto
It also gives us a fighting chance.
[07:46] Sarasa
I'm on board with that.
[07:51] Hiroto
Come on, Shiina.
Can you really turn this down?
[07:55] Hiroto
This is an invitation to the exact kind of
star-catching game you always wanted to play.
[07:59] Hiroto
And your opponents are
a Six Star genius princess,
[08:03] Hiroto
and the fastest guy to reach Seven Stars.
[08:06] Hiroto
If you pass this up now, I doubt
you'll get a chance like it again.
[08:10] Tsumugi
Ah, you're right!
[08:11] Tsumugi
Okay, then, bro-bro.
[08:13] Tsumugi
Let's finish this with
a game of Crossboard.
[08:20] Tsumugi
Wow!
[08:23] Tsumugi
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
[08:29] Tsumugi
I can see everything.
[08:31] Sarasa
What a huge production.
[08:34] Hiroto
This is pretty crazy.
SIGN Crossboard
[08:43] Hiroto
In Crossboard, all the ASTRAL spaces
get compressed into just 100 spaces.
[08:47] Hiroto
Positions and abilities
are all carried over.
[08:50] Hiroto
If you lose all of your spaces or
your core base, you lose the game.
[08:56] Hiroto
And this bit's really important.
Crossboard is fully integrated with ASTRAL.
[09:01] Hiroto
Every change on this game board
will be reflected on the ASTRAL field.
[09:06] Hiroto
So whoever destroys all of Eimei's
spaces first will be the real Empress.
[09:11] Tsumugi
Oh, wow. I'll start then, okay?
[09:14] electronic voice
It is Shiina Tsumugi's turn.

[09:38] Hiroto

[09:39] Hiroto

can choose to activate one.
SIGN Disrupt: For one turn, disable all information collection about your team
[09:43] Tsumugi
What will I pick?
SIGN Disrupt
SIGN Collect
SIGN Move
[09:45] Tsumugi

[09:48] Tsumugi

[09:50] Tsumugi

[10:02] Tsumugi
You've only got two spaces left,
and you aren't taking one right away?
[10:05] Tsumugi
Are you trying to let me
win out of brotherly love?
[10:09] Hiroto
Not a chance. I'm not
your brother to begin with.
SIGN Disrupt
[10:13] Hiroto
Then, I'll use Disrupt as my sub-action.
SIGN Disrupt
SIGN Disrupt
[10:16] Sarasa
We're done for.
[10:18] Tsumugi
Huh? What do you mean by that?
[10:21] Sarasa
Can't you see? Neither of us
can attack Eimei anymore.
[10:26] Sarasa
Eimei has two spaces left,
but we don't know which one is the core,
[10:31] Sarasa
and after my turn, Seijo can place a flag.
You know what that means?
[10:36] Tsumugi
Oh!
[10:37] Hiroto
Yup, right.
[10:39] Hiroto
You both want to beat me, of course,
but since Crossboard is turn-based,
[10:44] Hiroto
if you get Eimei down to one space,
the other team will definitely win.
[10:50] Hiroto
In other words, neither of you can attack me.
[10:54] Hiroto
In fact, you have to protect me
from the other person.
[10:57] Tsumugi
D-Did you plan this
from the start, bro-bro?
[11:01] Hiroto
Of course I did.
[11:05] Sarasa
Well, it doesn't really matter for Ouka.

It is Saionji Sarasa's turn.

[11:18] Tsumugi
Um, um, um, um... What should I do?
[11:21] Hiroto
It really looks like Shiina plays to enjoy the
game and isn't the type to cheat just to win.
[11:27] Sarasa
Hey! What's going on? How come
Ouka's spaces are being taken?
[11:32] Tsumugi
Huh? Why's the color changing like that?
[11:35] Sarasa
It isn't one of your abilities?
[11:37] Tsumugi
Huh? Hm, I don't know.
SIGN Encroach
SIGN Conquer
[11:41] Tsumugi
Ah! Maybe my evil powers are so strong,
they've taken the board to the dark side.
[11:46] Sarasa
Uh, sure. That's definitely it.
[11:50] Hiroto
But Shiina hasn't taken an action yet.
[11:52] Hiroto
There's only one explanation I can think of.
SIGN Crossboard
[11:56] Sarasa
Wh-What's going on?
[12:04] Hiroto
They're not the real deal,
just corrupt copies.
[12:07] Hiroto
They're probably like Miss Hundred Faces.
[12:09] Tsumugi
Huh? Just like me?
[12:11] Sarasa
The same tech that copied those
players' likenesses. Is that what you mean?
[12:15] Hiroto
Yeah. He's using them
to expand his area by force.
[12:20] Tsumugi
Oh! Yeah, that's it, bro-bro!
[12:24] Tsumugi
Aren't I a genius?
[12:26] Hiroto
Kurahashi must be the one
making these corrupt copies appear.
[12:30] Hiroto
Damn it. He's just gonna
shamelessly force a win for himself.
[12:33] Tsumugi
Okay. I'm starting to feel like I can win.
[12:40] Hiroto
If I lose one more space, I'm done for.
[12:44] Sarasa
Shinohara?
[12:45] Hiroto
Since the two games are connected,
it wouldn't be hard to manipulate this one, too.
[12:49] Sarasa
But then, why make that kind of rule?
[12:52] Hiroto
That's obvious.
[12:54] Hiroto
The returns are way bigger than the risks.
[12:58] Hiroto
And my teammates are the strongest around.
[13:01] electronic voice
It is Shinohara Hiroto's turn.
[13:10] Shinji
Nanase! On your left and right!
[13:12] Shinji
Jump by kicking off with
your strong leg, then fire right!
[13:15] Shinji
Block left using Barrier, back away,
then spam Magic Blast!
[13:20] Nanase
Too many orders!
[13:26] Nanase
There. Owned.
[13:28] Shinji
See? Told you.
[13:30] Shinji
You need to quit grumbling
and just do what I say.
[13:33] Nanase
H-Huh? Can't you even
give me one compliment?
[13:37] Nanase
Do you think I'm your lapdog or something?
[13:41] Shinji
Of course. That goes without saying.
[13:43] Shinji
Only one person follows my instructions to
the letter, and that's you, Asamiya Nanase.
[13:50] Nanase
Y-You dummy. You make it sound
like I have total faith in you.
[13:56] Shinji
Am I wrong in that?
[13:58] Nanase
D-Don't sound so down about it.
[14:00] Nanase
If I didn't trust you,
I wouldn't let you watch my back.
[14:04] Shinji
Is that right?
[14:06] Shinji
But, Nanase, is it really accurate
to say I'm watching your back
[14:10] Shinji
when I'm barking instructions
from a safe spot far away?
[14:13] Nanase
Jeez. Don't be so literal, Shinji, you idiot!
[14:17] Kurahashi
Asamiya Nanase and Enomoto Shinji?
[14:21] Kurahashi
How are they still alive?
[14:23] Kurahashi
Kirigaya was supposed
to have taken them out.
[14:32] Kurahashi
Lightning Rod?
[14:35] Kurahashi
Damn it! Even the server logs have
been falsified! Libra must be in on it!
[14:41] Kurahashi
This was all part of your plan,
wasn't it, Shinohara Hiroto?
[14:52] Kurahashi
Ah, I guess I always go back to the same plan.
[14:55] Kurahashi
If I send in a different player,
I can take control of ASTRAL again.
[15:01] Kurahashi
I hired this guy exactly for that purpose.
[15:09] Kurahashi
It's time, Kirigaya. Go and show them
just how powerful we are.
[15:14] Kirigaya
Nah, ain't gonna happen.
[15:18] Kurahashi
What?
[15:20] Kirigaya
Kurahashi, Shinohara can already
see through your crappy plan.
[15:24] Kirigaya
I'm not some idiot who's gonna play
a game I know I can't win.
[15:28] Kurahashi
What are you talking about?
[15:30] Kurahashi
You're my pawn! You do what I say—
[15:33] Kirigaya
You're totally worthless to me.
[15:37] Kirigaya
Someone like you could
never take on a Seven Star.
[15:41] Kirigaya
You're finished, Kurahashi Mikado.
[15:49] Kurahashi
Damn it! You damn punks!
[15:54] Hiroto
Turn five. The situation's
changed quite a bit.
[15:58] electronic voice
It is Shiina Tsumugi's turn.
[16:01] Tsumugi
You're too tough on me, bro-bro.
[16:04] Hiroto
That's because I can't afford to lose.
[16:07] Hiroto
But man, Saionji's keeping up without
cheating at all. That blows my mind.
[16:13] Tsumugi
Huh? I feel kinda weird.
[16:16] Hiroto
Weird? What do you mean?
[16:18] Tsumugi
Like my body isn't doing what I tell it.
I can't move right.
[16:27] Tsumugi
What? What? If I touch it,
it becomes my area?
[16:33] Hiroto
It must be Kurahashi.
He's finally taken full control of Shiina.
[16:38] Saionji
Seriously. That guy's
the worst kind of loser.
[16:41] Hiroto
Well, at least this gives us
everything we need.
[16:45] electronic voice
It is Shinohara Hiroto's turn.
[16:47] Hiroto
Ability Tracing, activate.
[16:50] Hiroto
Yo, Kurahashi. You hearing me?
[16:55] Hiroto
I've won it all this time.
Surrender like a good boy.
[17:01] Kurahashi
Damn.
[17:02] Hiroto
Oh. Yeah, yeah. About this
Ability Tracing I'm using right now...
[17:08] Hiroto
It does just what it says and
shows me exactly where you are.
[17:11] Kurahashi
So what? That won't help you
while you're still inside ASTRAL!
[17:16] Hiroto
Sure it will. Eimei has four
other players besides me.
[17:21] Hiroto
You've seen what Asamiya
and Enomoto are doing,
[17:25] Hiroto
but where are the other two?
I wonder what could they be up to.
[17:36] Kurahashi
Y-You are...
[17:37] Shirayuki
Shinohara Hiroto-sama's
personal maid, Himeji Shirayuki.
[17:43] Shirayuki
I've been told you have a new game here
that lets you control Miss Hundred Faces.
[17:49] Kurahashi
You're just one girl.
What can you do about it?
[17:51] Shirayuki
Just one girl? Don't be silly.
[17:54] Shirayuki
I've never been good
with the opposite sex...
[18:02] Noa
So she brought all of us along.
[18:05] Kurahashi
Why the hell are you all here?!
[18:08] Shirayuki
Do you still intend to persist?
[18:14] Hiroto
After Himeji and the others
broke into Kurahashi's base,
[18:18] Hiroto
things wrapped up quickly.
[18:22] Hiroto
Himeji took control of Miss Hundred Faces,
[18:25] Hiroto
and turned the board green.
[18:28] Hiroto
As a result, the Seijo area and all the power
it held disappeared completely.
[18:35] electronic voice
Shiina Tsumugi, you have been eliminated.
[18:40] Tsumugi
Is it over? Is it all over now?
[18:44] Hiroto
Yep. You lost, Shiina.
[18:47] Hiroto
I guess you just picked the
wrong opponents this time.
[18:50] Tsumugi
Hm, I guess. Yeah, you might be right.
[18:54] Tsumugi
Yeah. I lost in ASTRAL.
I'm okay with that part.
[18:59] Tsumugi
But... was I really doing something bad?
[19:05] Hiroto
Shiina...
[19:07] Hiroto
No, I'm not the right person
to answer that question.
[19:16] Hiroto
Kazami?
[19:18] Suzuran
Shinohara-kun. Sarasa-chan.
[19:21] Hiroto
There's one thing I need to ask.
[19:24] Hiroto
How do you and Libra feel
about Shiina Tsumugi right now?
[19:29] Suzuran
Tsumugi-chan.
[19:30] Tsumugi
Huh?
[19:32] Suzuran
Will you tell me something, meow?
[19:36] Suzuran
How was ASTRAL for you, meow?
[19:38] Tsumugi
Huh?
[19:39] Suzuran
Was it really boring, meow?
[19:41] Tsumugi
No, it wasn't. It wasn't boring at all!
[19:45] Tsumugi
It was really, really fun.
[19:48] Tsumugi
ASTRAL and MTCG and even Crossboard...
It was all really fun!
[19:53] Tsumugi
I'm so sad it's over.
[19:55] Tsumugi
I wish I could've kept playing forever
and ever! It was so much fun!
[20:01] Suzuran
I'm relieved to hear that, meow.
[20:03] Suzuran
We really did our best to
make it fun for everyone, meow.
[20:09] Suzuran
And things really did take off when that
super enemy, Miss Hundred Faces, appeared.
[20:14] Suzuran
So if you're saying you had fun,
that makes me super, super happy.
[20:18] Suzuran
It's 10 out of 10 for you, meow!
[20:20] Tsumugi
Wow, 10 out of 10!
[20:22] Tsumugi
Oh, I'm so glad.
[20:30] Hiroto
I guess things are gonna be all right.
[20:33] Hiroto
Eimei takes the win in
both Crossroad and ASTRAL.
[20:38] Hiroto
Wait, what? Why isn't
the ASTRAL field clearing?
[20:43] Hiroto
How come?

I managed to save Ouka's core base.
[20:51] Sarasa
You wanted to win and take every last space?
I won't let you show off like that.
[20:59] Hiroto
Of course.
[21:06] Noa
Hiroto-kun!
[21:08] Nanase
Shino, good work!
[21:09] Shinji
Very well played.
[21:11] Shirayuki
Welcome back, Master.
[21:13] Hiroto
Yeah. Glad to be back.
[21:15] Noa
You turned it all around right at the end.
[21:18] Noa
I think I've fallen for you even harder!
[21:20] Shirayuki
Not so close, Akizuki-sama.
[21:22] Noa
Huh? I haven't even touched him yet.
[21:28] Shinji
In all honesty, your results this time
wildly exceeded my expectations.
[21:32] Shinji
As student council president,
I owe you my thanks.
[21:35] Nanase
Well, obviously! You haven't
been paying attention, Shinji.
[21:38] Hiroto
Nah. It was all thanks to you guys.
[21:42] Shinji
Oh, was it now? In that case,
I retract my words of gratitude.
[21:46] Hiroto
That retraction sure came quick.
[21:48] Shinji
You still weren't polite enough.
[22:03] Hiroto
Everything began...
[22:06] Hiroto
with a single lie.
[22:11] Hiroto
A single lie...
[22:14] Hiroto
can save someone.
[22:20] Hiroto
A single lie...
[22:22] Hiroto
can gain you many new friends.

Hello, Master.
[22:53] Hiroto
Someday, somewhere on Academy Island,
I'll find the one I'm searching for.
[23:00] Hiroto
And until that day...
