[00:01] Shirayuki
    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.

    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.

    So you have to get more
    cards than your opponent.

    Then, the skills on the
    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?
[02:58] 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.

    Well, whatever she's thinking,

[03:52] Hiroto
    What's the Forced Control one about?
[03:54] Sarasa
    It's a tricky ability that lets you take
    control of the opponent's moves.

    Eep.

[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.

    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    Trojan Horse

    and Trojan Horse, which turns the tables.
[05:39] Hiroto
    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:

    Himeji will play the Simple

[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
    or above, there's one called Enchant.

    It lets you give items an additional effect.
[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 never hurts to keep your guard up.
[09:46] Sarasa
    Oh, right, right.

    Yup. Official and non-official ones.

    A good luck charm? Thanks.
[10:12] Sarasa
    Sure. If you see a chance
    to use it, please do.
[10:16] Sarasa
    I'm counting on you to help Yuki.
[10:18] Hiroto
    Right.
[10:19] Sarasa
    I think you can pull it off.
    You cheat better than anyone.
[10:23] Sarasa
    And because you're my accomplice.
[10:26] Sarasa
    Not even Akizuki Noa can

[10:53] Hiroto
    For the next two years, one guy is gonna

[10:58] Hiroto
    And I'm that guy.
[11:02] Noa
    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.
[11:10] Noa
    Never.

    Class is over at Ouka, too. That brat
    said she'd sneak onto Eimei's grounds.

[11:32] Hiroto
    Thank you very much!
[11:34] Noa
    Oh, what's this?
[11:36] Noa
    We meet again.
    What a coincidence, Hiroto-kun.
[11:40] Hiroto
    "Coincidence," my foot. Shameless.
[11:42] Noa
    Aw, you're such a meanie.
[11:46] Noa
    Hey, Hiroto-kun. You're about to play
    a Trial with your "maid-chan," right?
[11:50] Noa
    I'd love to sit in and watch.
[11:52] Hiroto
    Suit yourself.
[11:54] Hiroto
    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

[13:45] Hiroto
    Something's not right.
SIGN    Commoner
SIGN    Commoner
SIGN    Trojan Horse
SIGN    Assassin
SIGN    Knight
SIGN    Prince
SIGN    Queen
[13:47] Hiroto
    I still have the Trojan Horse Commoner,
    the Knight, and the Assassin in my hand.
[13:52] Hiroto
    And from Himeji's hand, the way she wasted
    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.
[14:27] Hiroto
    She said she mustn't lose.
    But she's obviously not trying to win.

    Area
[14:33] Hiroto
    There are 21 cards in total.
    The 10 cards in each hand, plus one bonus.
[14:39] Hiroto
    It's an odd number so that
    the game can't end in a draw.
SIGN    Reveal
    Area
[14:42] Hiroto
    Odd? Oh! That's it!
[14:44] Hiroto
    That's what you were going for!
[14:48] Kagaya
    Huh? Abort the operation? H-Hiro-kyun, why?
[14:53] Hiroto
    Thanks for waiting, Himeji.
    I'll take my fourth turn now.

[14:57] Hiroto
    I'm activating the Afterthought ability.
[15:01] Shirayuki
    Yes, Master.
SIGN    Knight
[15:06] Hiroto
    As expected.
[15:15] Noa
    Huh?
[15:18] Noa
    I just got a little excited,
    wondering why you'd play a card like that.
[15:22] Hiroto
    Then this might be
    exciting until the very end.
SIGN    Assassin
SIGN    Queen
SIGN    King

[15:44] Noa
    Hey, Hiroto-kun. What are you trying
    to pull? You need to take this seriously.
[15:49] Hiroto
    It's fine. Why don't you
    just shut up and watch?
SIGN    Commoner

[16:12] Shirayuki
    This is the last one, correct?
[16:14] Hiroto
    That's right.
SIGN    Queen
SIGN    Assassin
[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.
SIGN    Commoner
SIGN    Trojan Horse
SIGN    Queen
[17:15] Hiroto
    When it's Commoner versus
    Queen, the Queen wins.
[17:20] Hiroto
    But this is where my
    Trojan Horse comes into play.
SIGN    Trojan Horse
[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
    Device to bits. It's a really killer ability.
[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?
