[00:09] Kugasaki
    Greetings, my goddess.
    I am honored to be in your presence.
[00:13] Kugasaki
    Pleasure to meet you, Seven Star.
[00:16] Kugasaki
    I am Kugasaki Seiran, the first man
    who shall make you kneel down.
[00:20] Hiroto
    Huh. So what do you want?
[00:23] Kugasaki
    Your powers defeated my goddess.
[00:25] Kugasaki
    If they aren't a sham,
    I'd like to see them one more time!
[00:27] Hiroto
    Hah. So you're here to
    request a game against me?
[00:31] Kugasaki
    More specifically, I simply wish
    to prove how far above you I am.
[00:36] Hiroto
    If that's your idea of a joke,
    you need better material.
[00:39] Hiroto
    I'll take you on under one condition.
[00:41] Sarasa
    Shinohara?
[00:43] Hiroto
    Whoever loses the game can never again
    challenge the Empress, Saionji Sarasa.
[00:49] Kugasaki
    How dare you use my virtuous
    goddess as fodder for your bet!
[00:54] Hiroto
    Don't like it? Challenge someone else.
[00:57] Hiroto
    Nobody would blame you for chickening out.
[00:59] Kugasaki
    Chicken out?
[01:01] Kugasaki
    I am no mere Five Star.
[01:02] Kugasaki
    I am the leader of the Self-Made
    Holy Knight Brigade, Kugasaki Seiran!
[01:06] Kugasaki
    Shinohara Hiroto! Accept my challenge
    for a game in two days' time, on Sunday!
[01:11] Hiroto
    Hah. Fine by me. I'll teach you
    exactly what level you're at, flunky.
SIGN    A Dead Heat
    and Determination
[03:01] Sarasa
    Oh, good.
[03:02] Sarasa
    It is you, Shinohara.
[03:04] Sarasa
    I was worried you might be someone else.
[03:07] Hiroto
    You say that, but you're the one
    who looks totally different.
[03:10] Sarasa
    Oh? Really?
[03:12] Hiroto
    You look like a suspicious person.
[03:17] Sarasa
    About that thing yesterday...
    Did you do that for me?
[03:22] Hiroto
    No, that's not why.
    It was only to protect my lie.
[03:25] Sarasa
    Well, that's a letdown.
    You really are a thoughtless dummy.
[03:30] Sarasa
    But thank you.
[03:32] Hiroto
    Huh?
[03:33] Sarasa
    Anyway, you know the situation.
    Our lies are inextricably linked now.
[03:38] Sarasa
    That's why we're having
    this strategy meeting, right?
[03:45] Shirayuki
    Welcome home, Master.
[03:47] Shirayuki
    Welcome, Miss.
[03:49] Hiroto
    I'm home.
[03:50] Hiroto
    Wh-Whoa!
[03:52] Sarasa
    Why is that girl here?
[03:54] Hiroto
    Himeji, do you know who this really is?
[03:57] Shirayuki
    Yes. I served the Saionji family previously.
[04:01] Hiroto
    Huh? Does that mean...
[04:03] Shirayuki
    I am one of the very few people
    who knows Miss Rina's secret.
[04:09] Sarasa
    Uh, well... Good to see you, Yuki.
[04:12] Shirayuki
    Indeed.
[04:13] Shirayuki
    It has been a year since
    we last met in person.
[04:16] Sarasa
    A year? Guess it has. You been good?
[04:19] Shirayuki
    I suppose. Although I did endure
    a period of psychological distress.
[04:24] Shirayuki
    Please, come into this room.
[04:26] Hiroto
    Oh, that's right. The real Sarasa
    was kidnapped a year ago.
[04:32] Shirayuki
    This is the game
    Kugasaki-sama has requested.

[04:35] Shirayuki
    "The Self-Made 27-Form Game."
[04:38] Shirayuki
    In short, a game where you collect
    cards and compete for numbers.
[04:41] Hiroto
    Compete for numbers?
[04:43] Shirayuki
    Yes.
[04:43] Shirayuki
    The game is divided into two phases.
SIGN    Collection Phase

SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

[04:47] Shirayuki
    The first is the collection phase.
SIGN    Collection
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    Collection
[04:50] Shirayuki
    Players must search for cards numbered
    0 to 19 that are scattered around District 4,
[04:54] Shirayuki
    then select a hand of
     five cards maximum.
[04:56] Hiroto
    So we basically walk
    around looking for cards?
[04:59] Shirayuki
    No, you may also use public transport.
SIGN    Collection
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    Collection
[05:03] Shirayuki
    Five cards are placed randomly,
SIGN    Start: 5 Cards
[05:05] Shirayuki
    then every five minutes,
    a new card location is displayed.

SIGN    The Self-Made 27-Form Game
[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?
[05:19] Shirayuki
    The direct confrontation.
    The reveal phase.
SIGN    Reveal Phase
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    Reveal
[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.
SIGN    5 Stars or Above
SIGN    5 Stars or Above
SIGN    Explore
SIGN    Explore
[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.

    Connection established.
[09:40] Hiroto
    Okay.
[09:41] Hiroto
    Display Bug is activated.
[09:43] Hiroto
    And thanks to the Luck ability,
    the higher-numbered cards seem to be nearby.
SIGN    Search Here
[09:47] Shirayuki
    Yes. First, go to the 14
    since it's the closest,
[09:50] Shirayuki
    then compare the 17 to
    the next card to plan your route.
[09:55] Hiroto
    Roger that.
[09:57] Hiroto
    Go!
[09:59] Hiroto
    But the 17 is kinda far away.
[10:02] Shirayuki
    That is not a problem.
    I have prepared a fake public bus route.

[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.
[11:12] Kugasaki
    Let me impart some wisdom on you.
[11:14] Kugasaki
    You are making a fundamental mistake.
[11:16] Hiroto
    Huh?
[11:17] Kugasaki
    At this rate, the game will end
    in absolute victory to me.
[11:22] Kugasaki
    Well then, Shinohara. Two seconds left.
[11:25] Hiroto
    Two seconds?
[11:27] Hiroto
    The game's only been
    going for five minutes.
[11:30] Hiroto
    Wait. Five minutes?
    Something's wrong.

[11:40] Shirayuki
    There has been nothing to indicate

[11:44] Shirayuki
    And why did the other mystery card disappear?
[11:48] Hiroto
    No. It didn't disappear.
    Its info has been revealed.
[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
    Damn it!
[11:56] Hiroto
    It looked like I wasn't getting new info,
    but that was it! That was the reveal!
[12:01] Hiroto
    Kugasaki's planning on looking up all
    the card locations and picking them all up.
[12:05] Hiroto
    At this rate, I'll never get any new info.
[12:09] Shirayuki
    Surely not!
[12:10] Hiroto
    It's true.
[12:11] Hiroto
    He's trying to get 18 out of 20 cards
    in the collection phase to secure victory.
[12:17] Shirayuki
    Master, the bus Kagaya-san is
    driving has apparently been blocked.
[12:21] Hiroto
    What?
[12:22] Shirayuki
    Hotrods with Self-Made Knights markings
    have been racing around District 4,
[12:26] Shirayuki
    and the police have mobilized to stop them.
[12:29] Hiroto
    Must be Emergency Mobilization at work.
[12:32] Shirayuki
    My plan...
[12:34] Shirayuki
    If all of my ploys are blocked,
    I can't do anything.
[12:39] Hiroto
    No, we're not done. It isn't over yet!
[12:42] Shirayuki
    But what are you going to do now?
[12:48] Hiroto
    Okay.
[12:50] Hiroto
    I can't blame Himeji for being worried.
[12:53] Hiroto
    Even if I take the train to grab the 17,
[12:55] Hiroto
    there's a very good chance
    Kugasaki will beat me to it.
[12:58] Hiroto
    In that case...
[13:04] Urasaka
    Oh. Hey there, Shinohara.
[13:06] Hiroto
    Urasaka-senpai?
[13:17] Urasaka

[14:34] Hiroto
    Ow!
[14:35] Hiroto
    But it's too soon to give up. I'm the
    only one using Numerical Adjustment.
[14:40] Hiroto
    With a third card,
    I might have the advantage...
[14:42] Sarasa
    It's not gonna happen, dummy.
[14:45] Sarasa
    The only place you need to go
    right now is the emergency room.
[14:52] Hiroto
    You really think I can do that?
[14:56] Hiroto
    I still have to find her.
[14:59] Hiroto
    She always found ways of sneaking me out
    and taking me new places to play.
[15:04] Hiroto
    Until I see her again,
    there's no way I'm gonna lose.
[15:09] Hiroto
    Plus, if I lose, there'll be
    consequences for you, too.
[15:14] Hiroto
    Don't you need to keep playing
    the kidnapped heiress's double?
[15:18] Hiroto
    You and I are in the same position,
    Saionji. We're accomplices.
[15:23] Hiroto
    Let me protect your lie, too.
[15:33] Sarasa
    It was a lie.
[15:35] Hiroto
    Huh?
[15:35] Sarasa
    That stuff about Sarasa
    getting kidnapped. It's all a lie!

    Wait. What do you mean?
[15:43] Sarasa
    "I want to go to a normal school."
[15:45] Sarasa
    That was Sarasa's wish.
[15:49] Sarasa
    I made it look like she was kidnapped
    and took her to the mainland.
[15:53] Hiroto
    You defied the Saionji family all by yourself?
[15:55] Sarasa
    Yeah, that's right. I am a genius, you know.
[15:59] Hiroto
    Shouldn't you have
    at least brought Himeji in—
[16:01] Sarasa
    How could I, idiot?!
[16:03] Sarasa
    The lie is set to be revealed
    when Sarasa graduates in two years.
[16:07] Sarasa
    How could I drag Yuki
    into something like that?
[16:11] Sarasa
    So you should just give up!
[16:13] Sarasa
    We can still tell them
    it was all my fault.
[16:17] Sarasa
    I fooled you with my lies.
    You're just a victim.
[16:21] Hiroto
    Yeah, now it finally makes sense.
[16:25] Sarasa
    Huh?
[16:26] Hiroto
    To make your friend's dream come true,
[16:28] Hiroto
    you fooled both Academy Island
    and the Saionji family.
[16:31] Hiroto
    That's insane, but I can relate.
    I think it's pretty awesome.
[16:36] Hiroto
    Totally my type.
[16:38] Sarasa
    Huh? What?
[16:40] Sarasa
    What do you mean?
[16:45] Hiroto
    I'm saying, let's keep this act up
     for a little while longer.
[16:50] Sarasa
    Shinohara...
[16:51] Shirayuki
    Master!
[16:54] Shirayuki
    Are you injured?
[16:56] Hiroto
    Himeji, bring me up to speed.
[16:58] Shirayuki
    R-Right. Kugasaki-sama has
    collected a total of 16 cards.
[17:03] Shirayuki
    The location data for the
    remaining two has yet to be revealed.

[17:07] Hiroto
    In that case, it's pretty certain
    I'll end up with two. All right...
[17:12] Sarasa
    We need a way to turn this around.
[17:15] Shirayuki
    Please hold on a second.
    You are not giving up?
[17:18] Shirayuki
    The Company's ploys
    have all been blocked,
[17:21] Shirayuki
    but you think you can win
    in this hopeless situation?
[17:25] Hiroto; Sarasa
    Of course.
[17:29] Shirayuki
    Master, thank you so much
     for listening to my wish.
[17:34] Sarasa
    What do you mean "your wish," Yuki?
[17:37] Shirayuki
    Don't worry about it, Rina.
[17:40] Shirayuki
    Well, then. I will start
    brainstorming as well.
[17:43] Shirayuki
    If I backed out while my master
    and best friend were still trying,
[17:47] Shirayuki
    I would be a failure as a maid.
[17:48] Sarasa
    B-Best friend? Shucks, Yuki.

[17:58] Sarasa
    Yeah. The most famous one is Rule Breaker.
[18:01] Sarasa
    But it's only for people
    ranked Six Stars or above.
[18:05] Hiroto
    I don't care about that.
    The important thing is it exists.
[18:11] Sarasa
    You've thought of something
    really devious, haven't you?
[18:14] Hiroto
    To pull it off, I'll need to
    update the Display Bug effects.
[18:19] Shirayuki
    If we focus all Company resources,
    it might just be possible.
[18:23] Shirayuki
    No...
[18:24] Shirayuki
    I will make sure it happens in time!
[18:27] Hiroto
    He's just a simple Five Star.
[18:29] Hiroto
    What am I even doing here
    if I can't trick someone like that?
[18:33] crowd
    Wow!
[18:33] crowd
    Good luck, boss!
[18:34] crowd
    Finish him off!

    Do it!

    Hiroto!

    Kugasaki!
[18:40] Kugasaki
    You toppled my goddess before,
[18:42] Kugasaki
    so while I was wary of you,
    I also expected great things.
[18:46] Kugasaki
    But there is no way you can win the
    three rounds you need to defeat me.
[18:51] Kugasaki
    Well, Shinohara? Rather than engage
    in an extremely dull reveal phase,
[18:56] Kugasaki
    I recommend you yield.
[18:58] Hiroto
    Maybe you're right.
[19:06] Kugasaki
    And so, victory is mine!
[19:09] Suzuran
    W-Well, then! I will now
    announce the winner, meow!
[19:12] Suzuran
    So that's that! The winner of
    the Self-Made 27-Form Game is...
[19:18] Shirayuki
    We're running out of time!
[19:19] Suzuran
    Kugasa—
[19:20] Hiroto
    Hold on a minute, referee.
[19:20] Suzuran
    Meow?
[19:22] crowd
    What's going on?
[19:23] crowd
    What happened?
[19:24] Hiroto
    Hey, Kugasaki, do you know what
    condition needs to be met to end the game?
[19:29] Kugasaki
    Are you trying to mock me?
[19:31] Kugasaki
    Obviously, it's to win
    during the reveal phase.
[19:35] Hiroto
    That's the condition to win the game.
    I mean the condition to end the game.
[19:40] Kugasaki
    To merely end the game,
    either both players run out of cards...
[19:45] Hiroto
    This is all I've got.
[19:46] Kugasaki
    ...or one side takes more rounds and wins.
[19:49] Kugasaki
    What's the matter?
    Stalling like this is pathetic.
[19:53] Kagaya
    I got your back, Hiro-kyun!

    You're totally missing the point, dude.

    The rule was supposed to say
    "if both sides run out of cards"!
[20:11] Hiroto
    Maybe it was, but that's what it says now.
[20:14] Hiroto
    Either you were mistaken,
[20:16] Hiroto
    or maybe somebody tweaked things.
[20:18] Kugasaki
    Unbelievable! You scumbag!
[20:20] Kugasaki
    Did you use Rule Breaker?!
[20:24] Hiroto
    According to the current rules, since I ran
    out of cards, the reveal phase is over.
[20:29] Hiroto
    The score's 0-0. We're even.
[20:31] Kugasaki
    Y-You smug piece of trash!
[20:34] Hiroto
    All right, let's start the battle afresh.
[20:37] Kugasaki
    But you must recall that with Emergency
    Mobilization, I can change my team members.
[20:41] Kugasaki
    The advantage remains with me!
[20:44] Hiroto
    Oh boy. You're really making me work for it.
[20:47] Kugasaki
    What are you talking about?
[20:49] Hiroto
    With this, I've just won.
[20:52] Kugasaki
    What?
[20:56] Kugasaki
    So you didn't discard it?
[20:57] Kugasaki
    But since I have zero cards,
    that will have no effect on the score.
[21:02] Kugasaki
    You're the one who used
    Rule Breaker to change the rules!
[21:05] Hiroto
    Change the rules, huh?
[21:07] Hiroto
    That was just your imagination.
[21:09] Kugasaki
    My imagination?
[21:10] Hiroto
    All I did was make it look that way
    by changing the text on the screen.

[21:17] Suzuran
    What's this, meow? Then, the reveal phase...
[21:19] Hiroto
    ...is obviously not over yet.
    So then, once again...
[21:26] Hiroto
    And you? Oh, right.
    You don't have a single card.
[21:32] Hiroto
    That's why, like I just told you...
[21:37] Hiroto
    That means I win, flunky.

    Wow!

    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.
