    It's been 30 minutes since
    I accepted the game request.
[00:05] Hiroto
    In that time, I was able
    to call someone over,
[00:09] Hiroto
    and check that my connection
    with Kagaya-san was live.

    The game Akizuki has challenged me
    to is Tabletop Treasure Hunt.
[00:24] Noa
    It's your super cute friend, Noa-chan!
[00:27] Hiroto
    I can't win or lose, and this time,

    I've been backed into a corner.
[00:35] Hiroto
    And I don't even understand
    the basic rules yet.
[00:37] Noa
    Hmph. So you're gonna ignore me?
    All right, let's get started.
[00:41] Noa
    First, a question: is your partner
    hiding on the third floor or below?
[00:45] Hiroto
    A question?
SIGN    Treasures in 
    the Darkness
[00:47] Noa
    Yeah, you know... A question.
[00:50] Noa
    It's a command you can use once per turn.
SIGN    Question
SIGN    Is your partner hiding on
     the third floor or below?
[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
    you can use once per turn.

    Three spaces?
[01:14] Hiroto
    Oh, I see. So each room counts as a space.
SIGN    Shinohara
SIGN    Akizuki
[01:18] Noa
    You can change floors by
    taking the stairs on either side.
SIGN    Home Ec. Room
[01:22] Hiroto
    So Akizuki and I are in the hall
    by the Home Economics room,
[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
    so they won't open unless
    you use some kind of command.
[01:35] Noa
    Maybe I'll go a little
    easy on you this time.

[01:44] Noa
    Actually, that was a lie!
[01:46] Hiroto
    Huh?
[01:47] Noa
    I'll let you in on a secret, Hiroto-kun.
[01:50] Noa
    The first ability I'm using is Double Action.
     It lets me have two turns in a row.
[01:55] Noa
    So, another question.
SIGN    Question
SIGN    Is your partner hiding on 
    the fifth floor or above?
[01:56] Noa
    Is your partner hiding on
    the fifth floor or above?
[02:00] Hiroto
    What kind of ass-pull ability is that?
[02:02] Noa
    Hm? It's actually totally normal.
    I just tweaked the conditions a little.
[02:07] Hiroto
    Jeez. That's a "no."

    That's a great look for you, Saionji.
[02:39] Sarasa
    It's the perfect disguise, right?
[02:41] Hiroto
    Thanks a lot.
[02:42] Hiroto
    If you hadn't come, the game
    would've been over before it started.
[02:47] Sarasa
    It's no biggie. After all,
     if you lose, I'll be in trouble, too.
[02:51] Hiroto
    I think we're gonna be
    locked in here for a while.
[02:54] Sarasa
    Totally fine with me.
[02:56] Sarasa
    But it sure is annoying that I can't
    move around. And it's a little cold.
[03:01] Hiroto
    Yeah, even in April, it gets cold at night.
[03:03] Hiroto
    Sorry. Try to hang in there.
[03:04] Sarasa
    Then, hurry up and win
    so we can get Yuki out.
[03:09] Hiroto
    Okay. First, I need to know the rules.
SIGN    Tabletop Treasure Hunt
[03:11] Hiroto
    To win, you have to find the
    "treasure" hidden by your opponent.
[03:15] Sarasa
    That treasure is your partner.
    So for you, it's me.
[03:19] Sarasa
    And for the Devil Girl, it's Yuki.
[03:21] Hiroto
    The field of play is the biggest
    building in Eimei, Building A.
[03:25] Sarasa
    And the spaces are shown on
    this simple six-by-eight map.

SIGN    Move
SIGN    Answer
[03:33] Sarasa
    The first two are the ones the Devil Girl
    just used: "Question" and "Move."
[03:37] Hiroto
    The third is "Answer," which you use when you
     know where the opponent's partner is hiding.
SIGN    Answer
[03:41] Sarasa
    If you're right, the game ends there and then.

[03:54] Sarasa
    But the fourth button,
    "Retreat," is the tricky one.
SIGN    Retreat
[03:57] Sarasa
    It's a command that lets you move
    your partner around freely.
[04:00] Hiroto
    Yeah. It resets the data and
    lets them actually move away.

[04:14] Hiroto
    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.
[05:18] Hiroto
    She's trying to beat us at cheating.
     I'll make her regret that.

    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.
[06:52] Hiroto
    Because right now, I've got a genius
    even smarter than Akizuki with me.

    Yeah. She probably suspected we were
    cheating and did something to block it.
[08:30] Hiroto
    But if that means Akizuki's already used up

[08:36] Shirayuki

[08:39] Shirayuki

[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
    disadvantageous to Akizuki-sama.
[08:55] Hiroto
    So I guess you have to

[08:58] Shirayuki

    You're right.

    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

[10:42] Hiroto
    If that's the case, we can use

[11:36] Hiroto
    Oh. The first floor, too?
[11:37] Sarasa
    If she was on the first floor,
    you could pinpoint her with one question.
[11:42] Sarasa
    So the Little Devil probably
    wouldn't choose there.
[11:44] Sarasa
    The fourth floor's likely out, too.

[11:46] Hiroto
    Oh, I get it. Because you're there, right?
[11:49] Sarasa
    You've seen how careful she is.
[11:51] Sarasa
    Sounds could give away her hiding spot,
     so she's likely wary of that.
SIGN    Shinohara
SIGN    Akizuki
SIGN    Saionji
[11:57] Hiroto
    In that case, we can probably discount
    the third floor and the left side of the fifth.
[12:01] Sarasa
    Exactly. The right side of the
    third floor is directly above you,
SIGN    Shinohara
SIGN    Akizuki
SIGN    Saionji
[12:05] Sarasa
    and the left side is below me.
[12:07] Sarasa
    And the left side of the

[12:10] Hiroto
    That leaves the right side of the fifth floor,
     plus the whole of the sixth, so twelve spaces.

SIGN    Akizuki
SIGN    Saionji
[12:14] Sarasa
    No, we can narrow it down even further.

[12:23] Sarasa
    Basically, she's likely in a spot that's a

[13:05] Sarasa
    This is the worst-case scenario.
[13:07] Sarasa
    Random, huh? Making it so that
    someone's plan can't affect the result.
[13:11] Hiroto
    Yeah. That was the most
    practical move she could have made.
[13:15] Sarasa
    Hey, Shinohara.
    Is this impossible, even for you?
[13:18] Hiroto
    What do you mean "impossible"?
[13:20] Sarasa
    Well, is there any way
    you can actually find Yuki now?
[13:23] Hiroto
    Oh, that's what you meant.
[13:25] Hiroto
    I've actually already set something up.
[13:28] Sarasa
    Huh? Set something up?
[13:30] Sarasa
    You mean there's still a way to find her?
[13:32] Hiroto
    Yeah. A third option, after the exploits
    and the reverse psychology with the Green Star.
[13:38] Hiroto
    I've already figured out
    a way to end this game.
[13:43] Hiroto
    So I've been thinking
    about what comes after that.
[13:47] Hiroto
    Like, what'd be the
    best way to end the game...
[13:50] Hiroto
    Oh? What's wrong?
[13:51] Sarasa

    Huh? It's 8:52.
[14:11] Sarasa
    But can't you see that on your own Device?
[14:14] Hiroto
    I wanted you to see it, too.
[14:16] Hiroto
    For the next few turns,
    I'll kill as much time as I can
[14:21] Hiroto
    until Akizuki and I use our second

[14:24] Sarasa
    What will happen if you do that?
[14:26] Hiroto

[16:22] Noa
    A message? I didn't hear anything.
[16:25] Hiroto
    Oh, I definitely said something.
[16:26] Hiroto
    I said it was supposed to get cold tonight

[16:31] Noa
    To stay warm... Oh! Air conditioning!
[16:36] Hiroto

    Oh? A girl?
[18:27] Sarasa

[18:46] Sarasa
    No real reason. I just thought it sounded

[18:51] Sarasa
    But it looks like you were too weak
    to defeat that guy, after all.
[18:56] Noa
    Too weak? I just beat that Seven Star!
[19:00] Noa
    I made a deal with the devil
    and used illegal abilities
[19:03] Noa
    so I could steal Hiroto-kun's Star and become
    the new strongest person on Academy Island!
[19:08] Sarasa
    Yeah, you definitely did win

    Unfortunately for you,
    the loser of this game wasn't me.

[19:36] Sarasa
    Pinch Hitter can be used
    from outside an active game.
[19:41] 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.

[20:33] Hiroto
    There couldn't have been a more

[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.
