[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.

[02:28] Kagaya     So you have to get more     cards than your opponent. [02:31] Kagaya     If it's a draw, the cards stay on the board     and whoever wins the next round gets the lot. SIGN    Same SIGN    Same SIGN    Same SIGN    Same [02:35] Kagaya     Each player starts with 10 cards. SIGN    Reveal     Area SIGN    Collection     Area SIGN    Collection     Area [02:37] Kagaya     With the one bonus card on the board,      that's a total of 21 cards. [02:41] Kagaya     Those are all the cards     you can use in this Trial. SIGN    Reveal     Area SIGN    Collection     Area SIGN    Collection     Area [02:44] Kagaya     Basically, you need to get more than half.     If you end up with 11 cards, you win. [02:49] Kagaya     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     I just finished putting that together. [03:01] Kagaya     Here you go! SIGN    Royalty SIGN    Knight SIGN    Assassin SIGN    Commoner SIGN    Royalty SIGN    Knight SIGN    Assassin SIGN    Commoner SIGN    Royalty SIGN    Knight SIGN    Assassin SIGN    Commoner [03:03] Hiroto     Oh, I get it. SIGN    Royalty SIGN    Knight SIGN    Assassin SIGN    Commoner SIGN    Royalty SIGN    Knight SIGN    Assassin SIGN    Commoner SIGN    King SIGN    Prince SIGN    Queen [03:06] Hiroto     Wait, but isn't the Commoner too weak? [03:09] Kagaya     Right, the Commoners. [03:11] Kagaya     They have special skills the others don't     to make up for being so weak. [03:15] Kagaya     Let's see...

[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     abilities I will     use in Scalene     Love Triangle: SIGN    Probability Fluctuation     Lv. 4 SIGN    Forced Control [03:34] Sarasa     The abilities she's using tomorrow?      Why's she showing us what's up her sleeve? [03:39] Sarasa     Well, whatever she's thinking,     this does make our plan easier. SIGN    Probability     Fluctuation [03:42] Sarasa     Yuki will use Probability Fluctuation to     eliminate the randomness and secure Set A.

[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. [03:58] Hiroto     Eep. SIGN    Forced Control SIGN    Collection     Area SIGN    Collection     Area [03:59] Sarasa     In this game, it means you don't control     your own moves for the first three turns. SIGN    Reveal     Area SIGN    Forced Control     Activated SIGN    3 Turns [04:05] Sarasa     The powerful cards in your hand will be     wasted, and she'll take an early lead. SIGN    2 Turns SIGN    1 Turn [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 SIGN    Explosive Growth SIGN    Commoner SIGN    Trojan Horse [05:37] Sarasa     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: SIGN    Reveal     Area SIGN    Collection     Area SIGN    Collection     Area SIGN    Forced Control     Activated SIGN    3 Turns [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     or above, there's one called Enchant. SIGN    Enchant SIGN    Grants an additional effect. SIGN    Installation Requirements:     Six Stars or Above SIGN    Enchant SIGN    Grants an additional effect.

SIGN    Installation Requirements:     Six Stars or Above [06:34] Sarasa     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. [09:50] Sarasa     Shinohara, hold out your hand. Here. SIGN    Ability Card SIGN    Pinch Hitter SIGN    Pinch Hitter [09:54] Hiroto     What's this? [09:56] Sarasa     I'm giving it to you.     It allows you to install a rare ability.

[10:09] Hiroto     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     get the best of you that easily. [10:31] Hiroto     Yeah. It's on me.

[10:47] Hiroto     Hey, guys. I'm the new     Seven Star, Shinohara Hiroto. [10:53] Hiroto     For the next two years, one guy is gonna     stand on your heads and reign over you. [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. [11:22] Hiroto     Class is over at Ouka, too. That brat     said she'd sneak onto Eimei's grounds. [11:27] Kagaya     Hiro-kyun, you know that program?

[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.

[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.

[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 SIGN    tive SIGN    Imp SIGN    ulse SIGN    Destruc SIGN    tive SIGN    Imp SIGN    ulse [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?
