[20:42] Koshitan     Antler bombs! [20:43] Nokotan     Take this. [20:44] Yoshiharu     Wait, what?! [20:46] Nokotan     Take that and that. [20:52] Koshitan     Hey, stop that, Shikanoko! [20:54] Koshitan     You're definitely going too fa— [20:57] Announcer     N-No one could've predicted     this turn of events! [21:02] Nokotan     Notsu! [21:04] Nokotan     Notsu! [21:07] Nokotan     Notsu! [21:34] Nokotan     Ow. [21:37] Announcer     And the match has ended! [21:39] Announcer     The winner is Sento-kun! [21:44] Koshitan     You're just so... [21:47] Koshitan     Well, I guess you did your best. [21:49] Nokotan     Koshitan... [21:51] Announcer     All right, it's time to interview the winner. [21:53] Miura     Ah, but Sento-kun is a local     mascot that doesn't talk. [21:56] Announcer     Welp, I guess we're     interviewing the loser instead. [21:59] Koshitan     Seriously? [22:02] Nokotan     Everyone... When I got here today,     the only thought on my mind was to win. [22:08] Nokotan     All I could think about was     escaping from Deer's Den. [22:13] Nokotan     But as I was fighting Sento-kun,     I felt a tremendous change in my heart. [22:19] Nokotan     I realized that winning     or losing doesn't matter! [22:21] Nokotan     What's important is to give     one's all during the match! [22:26] Nokotan     Which means that Sento-kun     and I are both winners! [22:30] Koshitan     Now hold on a sec! [22:31] Koshitan     You've got some nerve     after all the cheating— [22:35] Miura     I'm so moved! You're both winners! [22:37] Koshitan     Miura-san, you're not right in the head! [22:41] Koshitan     And Sento-kun, you're way too accepting! [22:50] Tsunoda     Notsu! [22:52] Koshitan     What?! Why are you all     so moved by that speech?! [22:56] Anko     Well, whatever. Now the Deer Club     doesn't have to be disbanded. [23:00] Bashame     Bashame is glad that she     can continue making her rice. [23:03] Nokotan     Koshitan! [23:05] Nokotan     I won, just like I promised! [23:07] Koshitan     Oh, whatever already. [23:09] Nokotan     I hope you'll keep taking care of me. [23:12] Koshitan     W-Well, I guess I gotta, right? [23:19] Crowd     Nokotan! Koshitan! Nokotan! Koshitan!
