I hope we finish the day
in a good position again.
[00:08] Joya student A
Oh, welcome back.
[00:09] Joya student B
The base over there is takeable.
[00:12] Joya student B
Should we divide up the
spells that just dropped?
[00:15] Joya student C
Sounds good.
[00:16] Joya student D
I'll take Swordflash, then.
[00:18] Joya student C

SIGN Facing Off
and Flushing Out
[02:21] Shirayuki
This happened at the end of the second day.
For some reason, it isn't archived on Libra.
[02:26] Shirayuki
A regular student saved the video.
[02:29] Noa
Really? Well, that explains
the weird mood today.
[02:33] Hiroto
Guess this means Saionji isn't the only
person the doppelgänger can impersonate.
[02:37] Suzuran
S-Something totally unprecedented
is happening, meow!

SIGN The Hotly Anticipated New Superstar Appears !
[02:42] Hiroto
Wait. This looks a little different
from that other image.
[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?
[03:28] Shinji
Sounds reasonable.
[03:29] Shinji
As long as no one goes off alone and
disappears, it shouldn't be a problem.
[03:39] Tsumugi
Aha! Wicked Inferno Strike!
[03:43] Tsumugi
Aw, I lost.
[03:46] Hiroto
It's two in the morning, you know.
[03:48] Tsumugi
I was having so much fun, I couldn't help it.
[03:50] Tsumugi
I got to play all day and night.
[03:53] Tsumugi
I was bored before,
but today was as fun as it gets!
[03:57] Hiroto
All day, too?
[03:59] Hiroto
What do you usually do about school?
[04:01] Tsumugi
Huh? I don't go. If I went outside,
I'd have to talk to all sorts of people.
[04:06] Tsumugi
I just wanna do things that are fun!
[04:09] Hiroto
But you're okay talking to me?
[04:11] Tsumugi
Yeah, of course!
I think you're great, mister!
[04:22] Hiroto
You're falling asleep there?
[04:25] Hiroto
It's time I got going.
[04:35] Sarasa
Who is it?
[04:36] Hiroto
Your accomplice.
[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.

Where did that come from?

Looks like Magic Blast worked.
Was she your spy?
[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?
[13:53] Hiroto
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
Himeji!
SIGN Medusa's
Magic Eye
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!
[16:58] Hiroto
Black Wings.
[17:00] Hiroto
It's an ability that lets me control visual
effects. I just changed the way they looked.

[17:20] Kururugi
For Tsuyuri's honor as well as my own,
I cannot allow myself to be defeated here.
[17:25] Hiroto
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.
