This is it!
I win!
Now leave my little brother alone!
I'll get you! Dang it!
Let me know any time you want a rematch!
Brother!
It's okay now, Kaguya.
Thanks, Brother.
Don't worry about it.
I'm your big brother, Kaguya.
I'll always be there to stand in front of you!
What an amazing play!
Lyrial, Celestial Archer destroyed Armed Kit.
Expelled, huh?
A mysterious, beautiful Shadowcraft player has arrived here in Nekome.
That turned into a big deal quick, huh?
They're having a lot of fun, huh?
Episode 16
I'll Show You Real Shadowverse!
Sorry, I don't want to fight.
It would be better if you did.
Big Sis, you jerk.
Sorry, I don't want to fight.
I'll be waiting at the usual place.
It would be better if you did.
Big Sis, you jerk.
I'll be waiting at the usual place.
Sorry
Here, take one.
Abandon your physical body and join the digital world
Um...
You seemed like you felt lost.
No, I...
You'll never feel lost in the digital world!
Enigma can be a bridge between the digital and physical worlds!
It's an experience unlike any you've ever imagined.
Now come with us to a new world! Right now!
Sounds real interesting.
To someone else, but not you.
Yes... that's right.
So, if we ever get interested, we'll come see you.
Oh, uh... We'll be waiting.
Um, thank you.
Not at all.
There are a lot of those Enigma guys around lately.
Always talking about the digital world and stuff.
Yeah...
Weren't you heading to the stadium?
Yeah... my friend is waiting.
But we got into a fight.
You don't want to see your friend, so you were wandering around,
when weird guy came up to you.
That's right.
I'm no good, am I?
I don't think that's true.
Want to sit down instead of just walking all over the place?
Sure.
What do you want?
I'll buy. You saved me, after all.
And besides, I'm older than you.
Really?
I thought you were younger, or at least my age!
I'm in my first year of high school!
Push whatever you want.
Sure thing, then.
And...
It's okay to relax a little.
Yeah, okay!
Oh, Alice Kurobane's really popular.
Yeah.
Are you a fan, too?
I listen to her a good bit.
A fan?
I don't know that I'm a fan.
You don't like her?
No. I really love her.
But... no.
That's why...
So why'd you get into a fight with your friend?
I don't know. It's probably my fault.
Your affair was discovered?
N-No!
You're not the type, huh?
Which means...
A-And they're not a lover!
A friend! Just a friend!
Oh, you were telling the truth.
That's right!
I told you that from the start.
You seemed so upset that it didn't seem like just friend.
Maybe not.
Maybe more than just a friend.
What do I say?
A really important friend?
Yeah.
That may be the closest to right.
It's someone I look up to so much.
Not like me at all.
I see.
It's a little different, but I've got somebody like that, too.
My friend's the type you can't take your eyes off for even a minute, I guess.
You're a good kid. Um...
Subaru.
Subaru! I'm Mimori Amamiya.
Mimori, huh?
Do you like that person?
"Like"?
It feels like there have hopes I need to live up to.
But I'm bad at that stuff.
I see.
I may be the same.
My friend has so many hopes for me,
but even when I reach out my hand, they still seem so far away.
I'm...
pathetic, aren't I?
And I worry too much about things.
And that makes things more difficult.
I know it's wrong, but I can't fix it.
So I start hating myself...
Well, I guess that's just how people are.
I keep telling myself I have to get serious.
But I never have, so it's hard to get my engine going.
Are you a delinquent, Subaru?
Would you be scared if I was?
Not scared, maybe.
Some delinquents are good people.
You think so?
Yeah.
One saved the world with me!
That's a weird joke.
Anyway, I'm gonna head out and play some Shadowverse.
You play Shadowverse, too?
A little, yeah.
Then would you battle me?
That's sudden...
I think it's the best way to get over what's bothering me.
Or... do you need a reason?
I don't know.
But, well, I'll play you.
Subaru... You are a good person, after all.
I guess so.
Go easy on me.
Pure white fangs, dance!
It's all up to you now! Cosmos Fang!
Then I play and evolve Blossom Wolf Slade!
Its on-evolve effect triggers!
During my turn, if I've played three or more effects that return cards to my hand,
it lowers all enemy followers' attack and defense to 1!
My followers!
My turn isn't over!
I play Daisy Bear!
Its first effect adds a Flower Breeze to my hand.
Daisy Bear's second effect activates!
If I've played three or more Flower Breezes this game, my leader's EP becomes 1!
Lastly, I play Flower Breeze!
I bring the Daisy Bear back to my hand
and regain 1 defense!
Now I end my turn!
And at the end of my turn, Cosmo Fang's effect activates!
A randomly selected follower of mine is returned to my hand,
and I gain an amount of defense equal to its cost!
So I can't end it this turn now?
I've got an amazing card of my own!
That legendary card...
Rose Queen's effect activates!
All Fairies in my hand are transformed into Thorn Burst!
That's the card Mommy Fuwari recommended us!
Hey, can he beat Seventh Flame's club president?
I attack your leader with all my followers!
This is my revenge!
Now I end my turn.
Even if you regain your defense next turn,
you can't escape the Thorn Bursts in my hand!
You're strong. I can see Hahajima's been teaching you.
But I won't lose, either.
I play Crystalia Lily with Enhance 6!
Crystalia Lily's Enhance effect activates
and transforms one enemy follower into a Snowman!
My Rose Queen?
I play Daisy Bear!
And then I play Thorn Burst!
It does 3 damage to the enemy leader!
Evolve!
Fangs beautiful but sharp...
Cosmos Fang!
Cosmos Fang's on-evolve effect activates!
All followers with 3 defense or less are returned to their owners' hands!
He turned it around so quickly!
Is this bad?
I-Is the power of Seventh Flame's club president?
I attack your leader with Cosmos Fang!
Her on-attack effect activates!
For each card returned to its owner's hand this turn, it gains 1 attack!
Seven cards were returned to their owners' hands this turn!
Which means a bonus attack of 7!
Wh-What?!
This is the end!
Bloom with pride, Cosmos Fang!
You okay?
Yuuki-cchi!
That's four wins and three losses...
Keep at it, Light.

The only one I haven't battled yet is a Bloodcraft...
Hello! Hello!
You need something?
Um...
I'm your front-desk girl, Mai!
Nice ta meetcha!
O-Oh, hi...
I'm Itsuki Mitsutagawa.
I could see you were having trouble!
What's wrong? What's wrong?
I want to battle a Bloodcraft player.
I was trying to figure out how.
Bloodcraft, huh?
It's a tough class, so there aren't a lot of players.
The one player I know hasn't been here in a while.
Yeah?
Yeah, after becoming a really huge deal!
That's right! I remember!
There's a rumor of a super-strong Bloodcraft player at the Nekome River.
Really?
Thanks!
But that player's supposedly really strong!
And equally—
H-He's gone!
I-Is he going to be okay?
Mimori Amamiya
Class: Forestcraft Birthday: 6/10 Likes: The Person She Cares For
Elven Princess Mage
I play Dark Conjurer, and I guess I end my turn.
Go ahead.
Okay, my turn!
Spell Card: Fairy Circle!
It adds two Fairies to my hand!
I play the Fairies that were added to my hand.
You're more aggressive than I thought.
Forestcraft cards aren't just cute.
Yeah, that's true.
I attack your leader with Water Fairy and Liza!
And now I end my turn!
Well, this is a problem...
You, I guess.
Trick Dullahan.
It has Storm, right?
You know your stuff.
I attack your Liza with Dark Conjurer, and your Fairy with my Ghost!
I couldn't do more than stall, huh?
It'd be scary if you just overwhelmed me.
But Shadowcraft gets really strong after its graveyard gets full.
You do know your stuff, miss.
Did you use Shadowcraft before?
No, that's not it.
My turn! Draw!
First, I attack your leader with my Fairy!
Water Fairy attacks your Trick Dullahan!
And then I play a Goblin Mage and a Fairy!
Okay! This is looking good.
Seems like it.
You don't seem worried, Subaru.
Not worrying's all I can do.
I'd love to be panicking and freaking out, actually.
The effect I gained from Trick Dullahan's Last Words activates!
At the start of this turn, I can create a Trick Dullahan without Last Words!
And since a Trick Dullahan was played, that means there's a Ghost, too!
It has that power?
I attack your Fairy with my Ghost, which has Storm!
And then I play the spell card Necrocarnival!
It creates a Zombie, a Skeleton, and two Ghosts!
I evolve the Zombie and attack your Goblin Mage!
And I attack your Fairy with my Ghost!
And the other Ghost attacks your leader!
I end my turn.
You're strong, Subaru.
I'm okay. That's all.
Do you not enjoy the battles, Subaru?
I don't know.
I'd love to get more excited, but I guess the brakes always kick in.
I know how it feels.
You know you should do something,
but your body takes a step back on its own.
We're both cowards, aren't we?
Yeah.
But playing Shadowverse gives me courage.
Even a person like me can get stronger. Can be special!
That feeling fills my whole body...
which is why I love Shadowverse!
I play Flower Fox and Elven Princess Mage!
I evolve Elven Princess Mage!
Its on-evolve effect activates and adds two 0-cost Fairies to my hand!
Not bad.
That's not all!
Flower Fox's effect activates, too!
It doubles the number of Fairies that are added to my hand!
So four Fairies at once?
I attack your Zombie with my evolved Elven Princess Mage!
I guess I'll end my turn.
You seem to enjoy playing.
Yes, beause I love Shadowverse.
It's what made me strong.
And what brought me to the person I care about.
That sure sounds like a lover.
But I like that.
I'm jealous. Really.
If only I could relate to Shadowverse the way you do.
I'm jealous of you, too.
I don't know if I could go and talk to somebody who looked like they were in trouble.
It's like a habit of mine.
I used to look out for my little brother all the time.
It's like a leftover from that.
I still think it's amazing!
So basically, we're cowards.
You have what I want.
And you have what I want.
Is that it?
It's one heck of a coincidence, isn't it?
I play Lesser Mummy!
Its effect activates. Necromancy 4 gives it Storm.
And then I evolve Lesser Mummy!
I'm not done yet. Dark Conjurer!
That's the one from before.
Yes. I played it on my second turn.
But it's a little different now.
Dark Conjurer's effect activates!
If I have an evolved follower in play, it creates a Ghost!
I attack your Elven Princess Mage with my Skeleton,
and your Flower Fox with my Ghost!
And then I attack your leader with my Trick Dullahan and Lesser Mummy!
I end my turn.
Well, I guess that's good enough.
What will you do, miss?
Of course, I'll keep playing!
I want to get you excited!
You're not just cute. You're cool, too.
You're making me blush.
Here I go, Subaru.
I'll show you real Shadowverse!

Th-That's awkward.
You really seem to be enjoying battling, miss.
