1
00:00:12,889 --> 00:00:15,099
Hyakkao Private Academy.

2
00:00:15,183 --> 00:00:17,852
About to celebrate its 121st anniversary,

3
00:00:17,935 --> 00:00:21,355
this school prides itself
on tradition and prestige.

4
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:24,108
A hierarchy exists
at this prestigious school.

5
00:00:24,192 --> 00:00:26,194
STUDENTS WITH UNCOOPERATIVE TENDENCIES

6
00:00:26,277 --> 00:00:29,489
It's not grades or athletic prowess
that gets you to the top.

7
00:00:31,282 --> 00:00:32,617
It's…

8
00:00:36,204 --> 00:00:38,706
gambling! Gambling is everything!

9
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:41,751
The world's your oyster
if you're a skilled gambler!

10
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:45,671
And you can cheat as long
as your opponent doesn't notice!

11
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:47,131
That's super important!

12
00:00:47,215 --> 00:00:50,635
If your gambling drives you into debt…

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,516
and you can't make the required donation
to the Student Council,

14
00:00:56,599 --> 00:00:58,601
your ranking will fall.

15
00:00:59,977 --> 00:01:03,898
A student who falls to the bottom
is treated as a "house pet."

16
00:01:03,981 --> 00:01:05,775
Male pets are called "Fido,"

17
00:01:05,858 --> 00:01:07,777
female pets are called "Mittens,"

18
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:11,030
and they get bullied every day!

19
00:01:11,114 --> 00:01:14,283
House pets can't disobey humans.

20
00:01:17,203 --> 00:01:19,997
That's me, Tsuzura Hanatemari.

21
00:01:20,081 --> 00:01:22,834
I'm the one getting drenched,
of course. I'm a Mittens.

22
00:01:23,543 --> 00:01:26,170
And Kokoro Aiura is
the one pouring the water.

23
00:01:26,254 --> 00:01:28,214
She's top of the class in gambling.

24
00:01:28,297 --> 00:01:31,217
Hello, miss honor student!

25
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:36,514
The honor student in question
is Mary Saotome.

26
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:40,601
We were elementary school classmates.
She just transferred to the Academy.

27
00:01:40,685 --> 00:01:44,355
I was destined to be reunited with her!

28
00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:48,401
Be careful, Mary.

29
00:01:48,484 --> 00:01:51,487
They say transfer students
are prime targets each year.

30
00:01:52,113 --> 00:01:54,490
SPEED PRESIDENT CARD GAME

31
00:01:54,574 --> 00:01:57,660
And so, she gambles
the first chance she has.

32
00:01:57,743 --> 00:01:59,954
Mary is a complete amateur,

33
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:02,123
so Aiura cheats and, bam!

34
00:02:02,206 --> 00:02:05,042
Mary falls 200,000 yen into debt!

35
00:02:06,169 --> 00:02:10,756
Still, Mary tries again
with some money I gave her.

36
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:13,384
REMATCH

37
00:02:16,596 --> 00:02:20,266
As expected, Aiura cheats again and, bam!

38
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:24,103
But Mary sees it coming and, boom!

39
00:02:24,187 --> 00:02:25,855
What?!

40
00:02:25,938 --> 00:02:29,066
Mary pulls off a stunning victory!

41
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,652
She wins 200,000 yen on her first day

42
00:02:31,736 --> 00:02:34,405
and makes it to the top of our class!

43
00:02:34,906 --> 00:02:39,368
And so begins Mary's story,
or should I say, our story.

44
00:02:40,119 --> 00:02:41,746
That's when it dawned on me.

45
00:02:42,246 --> 00:02:46,876
Mary isn't some rando rich kid
who transferred to our school.

46
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,629
She is lending me a helping hand.

47
00:02:51,964 --> 00:02:54,926
She's my Prince Charming!

48
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:01,265
A WEEK LATER

49
00:03:05,353 --> 00:03:08,022
I can't make any friends.

50
00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:10,691
Why?

51
00:03:10,775 --> 00:03:13,694
Everyone watched me playing against Aiura!

52
00:03:13,778 --> 00:03:18,282
I study hard and nail questions,
so no one can look down on me in class.

53
00:03:18,783 --> 00:03:20,785
My make-up is perfect yet natural.

54
00:03:21,369 --> 00:03:23,788
My nails are a conservative pastel pink,

55
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:26,540
and I always remember
to wear a friendly face.

56
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:28,542
Damn it!

57
00:03:29,126 --> 00:03:31,712
At this rate, my life plan is…

58
00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:36,676
People are born into a hierarchy.

59
00:03:37,593 --> 00:03:40,179
Endurance, intelligence,

60
00:03:40,263 --> 00:03:44,684
appearance, sensibility, and money.

61
00:03:45,309 --> 00:03:48,854
Society divides us into winners
and losers by no fault of our own.

62
00:03:48,938 --> 00:03:50,940
And I can't stand that.

63
00:03:51,691 --> 00:03:55,111
That's why I transferred
to this school as an honor student.

64
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:58,656
I'm going to leave here a champion!

65
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:02,410
I just transferred, but at this rate…

66
00:04:02,493 --> 00:04:04,912
Mary, I was wondering.

67
00:04:05,997 --> 00:04:09,917
Have you gotten used to our school?

68
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:14,630
I guess. Did you want something?

69
00:04:14,714 --> 00:04:18,843
This may seem out of the blue, but…

70
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:22,305
Please, will you…

71
00:04:22,388 --> 00:04:24,181
Please be my friend!

72
00:04:27,935 --> 00:04:29,228
I'm fine with--

73
00:04:29,312 --> 00:04:30,688
Of course you're fine!

74
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,065
You don't need any friends, do you?!

75
00:04:33,858 --> 00:04:35,860
Especially not someone like me.

76
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:39,697
I'm worthless and forever a Mittens.

77
00:04:40,281 --> 00:04:43,075
You wouldn't want me as a friend.

78
00:04:43,159 --> 00:04:44,577
Stop acting so pathetic!

79
00:04:46,037 --> 00:04:48,331
It's just like
when I gambled against Aiura.

80
00:04:50,416 --> 00:04:51,292
What's this?!

81
00:04:51,876 --> 00:04:53,711
You're a house pet, right?

82
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:55,921
If you have so much money,
use it yourself.

83
00:04:56,756 --> 00:05:00,551
Even if I could escape pet status,
even for a moment,

84
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,762
I wouldn't know what to do.

85
00:05:03,888 --> 00:05:05,431
Why do you always…

86
00:05:06,015 --> 00:05:08,684
Forgive me.

87
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:15,441
Hanatemari, I wanted to ask you something.

88
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:17,026
Huh?

89
00:05:19,236 --> 00:05:22,156
I think it's because the sum is so low.

90
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:23,074
What?

91
00:05:23,157 --> 00:05:28,245
At this school,
200,000 yen is considered play money.

92
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:31,665
I think you need to play
games with much higher stakes

93
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:34,335
to prove you're a good gambler.

94
00:05:34,877 --> 00:05:38,255
This really is one messed-up school.

95
00:05:38,756 --> 00:05:40,883
So, what are you drinking, Mary?

96
00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:42,635
Oh, me?

97
00:05:43,636 --> 00:05:44,762
I have this.

98
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:46,764
That's so cute!

99
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,517
It's my favorite.
Been using it since middle school.

100
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,144
I haven't seen a thermos in ages.

101
00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:55,648
Is this why they look down on me?

102
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,945
They set up the gambling dens
after school, right?

103
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,530
Can you show me the ropes?

104
00:06:03,572 --> 00:06:06,534
Of course!
What kind are you interested in?

105
00:06:07,284 --> 00:06:08,786
Well…

106
00:06:08,869 --> 00:06:09,787
LIBRARY PREP ROOM NO. 2

107
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,289
How about the least popular one on campus?

108
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:17,795
-Are you sure this is okay?
-This is just fine.

109
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:22,675
An unpopular gambling den
will be easier to take over.

110
00:06:22,758 --> 00:06:23,843
Huh?

111
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:26,303
I'll make it mine
and become its financier.

112
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:28,556
That's the secret
behind a winning gambler.

113
00:06:29,140 --> 00:06:33,185
In short, it's the fastest way
to become this school's champion!

114
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:22,985
Excuse me.

115
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:26,113
Excuse me!

116
00:07:28,032 --> 00:07:29,742
Welcome! I'm sorry.

117
00:07:30,326 --> 00:07:31,702
I didn't know anyone was--

118
00:07:32,453 --> 00:07:33,996
Are you all right?

119
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,874
Welcome to the literary club!

120
00:07:38,125 --> 00:07:40,002
I'm the president, Yukimi Togakushi!

121
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:43,547
-Are you interested in joining?
-No, we're not.

122
00:07:43,631 --> 00:07:45,132
Of course you're not.

123
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:47,134
Well…

124
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,638
I'm embarrassed to say
it's always like this.

125
00:07:50,721 --> 00:07:52,640
No one ever visits. It's just me.

126
00:07:52,723 --> 00:07:54,892
A few others signed up
but never came back.

127
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:57,770
Now, how should I do this?

128
00:07:58,270 --> 00:07:59,897
Well, this is something new.

129
00:08:00,397 --> 00:08:02,024
Visitors?

130
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:04,735
We're a bit busy right now.

131
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,028
Get rid of them.

132
00:08:18,123 --> 00:08:19,792
MITTENS

133
00:08:20,376 --> 00:08:21,835
-Mikura.
-Yes, ma'am.

134
00:08:22,753 --> 00:08:26,757
The literary club's permission to use
Library Prep Room Number Two

135
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,592
is hereby revoked.

136
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:30,970
Please leave immediately.

137
00:08:32,096 --> 00:08:33,847
I can't just leave like that!

138
00:08:34,431 --> 00:08:37,226
When was the last time
you paid the room fee?

139
00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:38,978
How many notices did you receive?

140
00:08:40,729 --> 00:08:43,274
Who's that bossy bitch?

141
00:08:43,357 --> 00:08:46,944
She's a Student Council member
and Chair of the Public Morals Committee.

142
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:48,487
Her name's Sachiko Juraku.

143
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:51,782
Student Council also oversees
the gambling dens.

144
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,246
What's wrong, Yukimi?

145
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,251
-Would you mind if I used the place?
-What?

146
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:05,879
What's this?

147
00:09:06,463 --> 00:09:08,799
Leave this gambling den to me.

148
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:12,636
I'll improve its revenue
and pay a higher room fee.

149
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:16,265
And who might you be?

150
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:19,602
First year, Hana class. Mary Saotome.

151
00:09:19,685 --> 00:09:21,437
Not so fast!

152
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,231
I'll pay you next month,
including the amount overdue!

153
00:09:24,315 --> 00:09:27,776
I think you'd be better off
choosing someone new

154
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:30,112
rather than someone who's failed.

155
00:09:31,614 --> 00:09:33,741
Interesting. Let's do this.

156
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:37,995
I want you two to gamble
against each other.

157
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:40,331
Whoever wins gains control of this den.

158
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:42,875
Seriously?!

159
00:09:42,958 --> 00:09:44,126
Bring it on.

160
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,006
I didn't think this
would proceed so smoothly.

161
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:52,134
Let's start with a million-yen buy-in.

162
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:53,594
What?!

163
00:09:53,677 --> 00:09:56,347
It's the same amount
as this gambling den's setup fee.

164
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:58,932
Don't worry.
I won't collect it if you win.

165
00:09:59,016 --> 00:10:00,893
Only the loser will pay up.

166
00:10:00,976 --> 00:10:02,478
That's way too much money!

167
00:10:02,561 --> 00:10:04,980
Fine. I have to play, right?

168
00:10:05,064 --> 00:10:05,898
Oh no!

169
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:09,652
Something wrong, Mary?
How much can you put down?

170
00:10:11,487 --> 00:10:14,031
About 200,000 yen.

171
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:17,034
All right. I'll front you the rest.

172
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:19,536
If you lose, you'll owe me 800,000.

173
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,915
Mary! Going into debt
to the Student Council is--

174
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:24,750
You want a gambling den, right?

175
00:10:24,833 --> 00:10:27,169
Then you should be able to
handle such a risk.

176
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:32,675
Hanatemari, this is what
separates winners from losers.

177
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,180
Five hundred thousand yen.

178
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:43,060
-I'm in, too, for 500,000 yen.
-What are you doing?!

179
00:10:47,648 --> 00:10:51,360
Then it's settled. Mikura, let's begin.

180
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:52,444
Yes, ma'am.

181
00:10:56,824 --> 00:11:00,494
We will be playing three hit dice.

182
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:02,538
I'll be the dealer and roll the dice.

183
00:11:02,621 --> 00:11:04,581
You'll try to guess the numbers rolled.

184
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:07,334
It's a very simple gambling game.

185
00:11:08,085 --> 00:11:09,712
Here's what the numbers mean.

186
00:11:09,795 --> 00:11:12,214
One, two, and three are "down."

187
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:15,718
Four, five, and six are "up."

188
00:11:15,801 --> 00:11:20,347
You two will try to guess
three consecutive rolls of the dice.

189
00:11:20,431 --> 00:11:24,476
Whoever's combination appears first wins.

190
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:27,771
For example, player A versus player B.

191
00:11:27,855 --> 00:11:29,732
Player A guesses "UDD."

192
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:32,484
and player B guesses "DUD."

193
00:11:32,568 --> 00:11:34,153
In this case…

194
00:11:35,654 --> 00:11:38,615
Player A's "UDD" appears first,

195
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:40,617
which means A wins.

196
00:11:40,701 --> 00:11:42,870
Write your guesses on a card,

197
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:45,748
and give them to me
before I roll the dice.

198
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:49,960
Sorry, but I gotta protect
this gambling den.

199
00:11:50,586 --> 00:11:51,920
I'm gonna win.

200
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:56,258
This gambling den's mine if I win.
If I lose, I'm out a ton of money.

201
00:11:57,009 --> 00:11:59,428
If I go into debt,
it'll be hard to get out,

202
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:01,764
and I'll probably become a house pet.

203
00:12:01,847 --> 00:12:03,265
I have to win.

204
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:06,518
I will win and become school champion!

205
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:13,901
All right, let us begin.

206
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:16,987
First roll.

207
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:20,282
The first roll is down.

208
00:12:22,868 --> 00:12:27,039
If she wrote down the same guess
as Togakushi, then it would be a draw.

209
00:12:28,332 --> 00:12:29,792
Second roll, down.

210
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:32,294
Other than that…

211
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:38,300
The probability of a roll being "up"
or "down" is a one-in-two chance each.

212
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:42,888
With the three consecutive rolls,
the probability is cubed,

213
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:45,057
so it's a one-in-eight chance.

214
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:46,058
Third roll.

215
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:49,061
Up.

216
00:12:49,144 --> 00:12:52,940
As I thought. Whatever you write,
the probability of winning is the same.

217
00:12:53,023 --> 00:12:56,318
That's the normal way of thinking.

218
00:12:56,401 --> 00:12:58,070
But that's a big mistake.

219
00:12:58,153 --> 00:13:01,156
If the dice were rolled infinitely,

220
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,576
then the probability
of any combination would be the same.

221
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:09,206
However, guessing the combination
that'll come up first is another story.

222
00:13:09,915 --> 00:13:14,711
Some combinations are
more probable than others.

223
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:17,714
This is a typical gambler's fallacy.

224
00:13:17,798 --> 00:13:21,593
One can expect "up" or "down"
to appear twice in a row,

225
00:13:21,677 --> 00:13:27,099
such as "UUD," "UDD," "DDU" or "DUU,"
once in eight rolls of the dice.

226
00:13:27,182 --> 00:13:28,725
On the other hand,

227
00:13:28,809 --> 00:13:31,603
for "up" or "down" to appear
three times in a row,

228
00:13:31,687 --> 00:13:34,439
as in "DDD" and "UUU,"

229
00:13:34,523 --> 00:13:36,483
it would be one in fourteen rolls.

230
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:40,445
At the core of dice games are
slight fluctuations in probability.

231
00:13:40,529 --> 00:13:43,782
A slight difference leads to big results.

232
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:45,784
Fifth roll, down.

233
00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:47,786
So, my guess is…

234
00:13:48,579 --> 00:13:51,790
"UUD." It's the most probable pattern.

235
00:13:52,666 --> 00:13:55,627
But I'm sure my opponent knows that too.

236
00:13:57,004 --> 00:13:59,172
Sixth roll. Up.

237
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:03,135
So, this is but a countermeasure
so that I'm not at a disadvantage.

238
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:05,888
I've done what I can.

239
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:08,932
Now, I must leave the rest to fate.

240
00:14:09,016 --> 00:14:11,643
Seventh roll. Up.

241
00:14:13,312 --> 00:14:14,396
The game is over.

242
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:15,397
-What?
-Huh?

243
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:17,649
DUU was rolled.

244
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,152
Togakushi has won.

245
00:14:20,235 --> 00:14:22,654
It can't be! Mary lost?!

246
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:26,033
As promised, Yukimi gets
the rights to this gambling den.

247
00:14:26,116 --> 00:14:29,202
Mary owes me a million.

248
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:35,959
What is it, Yukimi? You won.
You should be delighted.

249
00:14:38,253 --> 00:14:42,299
So, then, can we keep using this place?

250
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:46,094
Of course. Do you have
a problem with that?

251
00:14:46,178 --> 00:14:48,055
No! I'm so glad.

252
00:14:48,138 --> 00:14:49,181
Mary.

253
00:14:51,516 --> 00:14:53,685
May I play one more time?

254
00:14:56,855 --> 00:14:58,857
I don't care if the buy-in is doubled!

255
00:14:58,941 --> 00:15:01,026
I promise to pay it back if I lose!

256
00:15:01,109 --> 00:15:02,569
Wait a second!

257
00:15:03,695 --> 00:15:05,489
I see.

258
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:09,326
All right. I'll grant your request
since you're so determined.

259
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:11,328
But I won!

260
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:12,329
Quiet.

261
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:15,666
Or do you think you have
the right to speak to me like that?

262
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:18,210
No, I don't…

263
00:15:18,961 --> 00:15:21,964
However, this next round
won't be just for money.

264
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:23,966
-Mikura.
-Yes, ma'am.

265
00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:27,052
What's that?

266
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:29,137
A collar for you.

267
00:15:29,221 --> 00:15:30,055
Huh?

268
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:33,684
If you lose, you'll become
my personal house pet.

269
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:37,813
You'll come when you're called.
You'll fetch things.

270
00:15:38,605 --> 00:15:42,943
If you're standing watch,
you won't sleep the entire night. And…

271
00:15:44,111 --> 00:15:46,196
And if I tell you to die, you die.

272
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:04,798
What do you say, Mary?

273
00:16:05,757 --> 00:16:08,427
Are you sure you're ready?

274
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:15,142
-I'll do it.
-What? Mary!

275
00:16:15,225 --> 00:16:17,060
It's a game of chance, nothing more.

276
00:16:17,728 --> 00:16:20,439
I just lost, so I bet I'll win next.

277
00:16:29,072 --> 00:16:34,578
Now, let us begin
the final round of three hit dice.

278
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:37,330
Please write down your guesses.

279
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:55,891
Miss Juraku wants to dominate Saotome.

280
00:16:56,641 --> 00:17:00,020
Therefore, I'll make sure Saotome loses.

281
00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:01,688
Here's mine.

282
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:12,157
Both cards have been submitted.

283
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:17,913
Now, the first roll.

284
00:17:21,333 --> 00:17:22,167
Up.

285
00:17:22,793 --> 00:17:24,252
Second roll.

286
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:27,547
Down.

287
00:17:28,215 --> 00:17:31,760
There's a second kind of mistake
you can make in this game.

288
00:17:31,843 --> 00:17:35,430
It's true there are four combinations
more likely to appear first.

289
00:17:36,014 --> 00:17:40,143
But "higher probability"
doesn't mean "easier to win."

290
00:17:40,227 --> 00:17:41,686
As in rock-paper-scissors,

291
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:44,815
there are ways
to increase your odds of winning.

292
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:50,320
For example,
"UUD" is most easily beaten with "DUU."

293
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:55,367
In this case, "DUU" has
a two-in-three chance of winning.

294
00:17:55,450 --> 00:18:01,665
This is a phenomenon where "DUU" is
more likely to appear right before "UUD."

295
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:05,836
The same applies to all combinations.

296
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:10,090
So then, it's easy to make Saotome lose.

297
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:12,592
As the dealer,

298
00:18:12,676 --> 00:18:14,594
I can look at Saotome's card

299
00:18:14,678 --> 00:18:17,973
and then change Togakushi's.

300
00:18:18,056 --> 00:18:21,852
In this case, Saotome's card was "UUU,"

301
00:18:21,935 --> 00:18:26,857
so I changed Togakushi's card
to "DUU," which is more likely to win.

302
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:30,485
The odds of winning were 12.5%.

303
00:18:30,569 --> 00:18:34,281
But those odds disappeared
when the second roll was "down."

304
00:18:34,865 --> 00:18:36,283
Third roll.

305
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:39,244
Down.

306
00:18:39,327 --> 00:18:43,623
Saotome's defeat is a done deal.

307
00:18:43,707 --> 00:18:44,749
Fourth roll.

308
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:48,503
Up.

309
00:18:48,587 --> 00:18:50,380
Stupid girl.

310
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:52,465
You have no chance of winning.

311
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:54,885
All you can do is pray for a win.

312
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,262
What do you think, Miss Juraku?

313
00:18:57,345 --> 00:19:02,392
I'm not just some empty-headed,
just-for-show girl like her.

314
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:06,021
I will serve you well!

315
00:19:11,234 --> 00:19:14,154
Hey! You got the card wet!

316
00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:15,864
Sorry.

317
00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:18,575
You useless dimwit.

318
00:19:18,658 --> 00:19:21,870
Miss Juraku will
grow bored with you before long.

319
00:19:24,456 --> 00:19:26,750
Now, back to the fifth roll.

320
00:19:27,334 --> 00:19:29,628
-There's no need for that.
-Huh?

321
00:19:30,212 --> 00:19:32,380
I guessed "DDU."

322
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:34,049
What?

323
00:19:34,132 --> 00:19:39,137
Please pay attention. I wrote "DDU."

324
00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:42,641
What are you talking about? You wrote…

325
00:19:42,724 --> 00:19:44,142
DDU

326
00:19:47,854 --> 00:19:50,774
DDU! Mary wins!

327
00:19:51,483 --> 00:19:52,943
How's that possible?

328
00:19:53,652 --> 00:19:55,278
I know you wrote…

329
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:57,530
You thought I wouldn't figure it out?

330
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,867
This game is basically
rock-paper-scissors.

331
00:20:00,951 --> 00:20:05,789
The first time we played, I noticed
Togakushi's hand was superior to mine,

332
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:07,540
so I started to wonder.

333
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,919
My thoughts were confirmed
after the first round.

334
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:16,549
Togakushi had won,
but she seemed ambivalent.

335
00:20:17,175 --> 00:20:20,303
You switched her card
without her knowing, didn't you?

336
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:25,058
There's no greater advantage
than switching out a player's card.

337
00:20:25,141 --> 00:20:28,311
It's like seeing a throw
beforehand in rock-paper-scissors.

338
00:20:28,395 --> 00:20:29,854
But…

339
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:34,234
You wrote "UUU"! How could this happen?!

340
00:20:34,901 --> 00:20:37,153
I drew a line with this
to change it to "D."

341
00:20:37,237 --> 00:20:40,740
The only way to beat someone who waits
for your hand is to do the same.

342
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:42,242
What's that?

343
00:20:42,325 --> 00:20:45,870
Nail polish remover
containing acetone is usually clear,

344
00:20:45,954 --> 00:20:47,622
but if you add water,

345
00:20:47,706 --> 00:20:51,001
it becomes darker
than its surrounding colors.

346
00:20:52,711 --> 00:20:54,754
That's how the two Ds appeared.

347
00:20:55,714 --> 00:21:00,635
Thanks so much
for making it easier for me to win.

348
00:21:00,719 --> 00:21:03,555
If we played normally,
I would've had a fifty-fifty chance.

349
00:21:03,638 --> 00:21:07,767
I would've been too scared to make a move.

350
00:21:11,396 --> 00:21:12,355
Well done.

351
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:16,443
No one said you had to use
a black pen to write your guess.

352
00:21:16,526 --> 00:21:21,364
You used nail polish remover,
but nonetheless, you did write "DDU."

353
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:23,700
And if the roll was "UUU,"

354
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:26,411
you would've kept quiet
and declared your win, right?

355
00:21:27,078 --> 00:21:31,207
You were supposed to lose
with an 87.5% probability.

356
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:38,256
You completely changed that
into a 71% chance of winning. Well done.

357
00:21:39,299 --> 00:21:43,261
But you still had a 29% chance of losing.

358
00:21:43,345 --> 00:21:46,139
Yet you still bet your life.

359
00:21:46,222 --> 00:21:49,142
Did you think I was kidding?

360
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:51,144
No.

361
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,898
Isn't that what gambling is all about?

362
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:57,901
I had a 71% chance of winning.

363
00:21:57,984 --> 00:22:00,111
In that case, of course I'd play.

364
00:22:00,195 --> 00:22:04,783
Anyone too afraid of taking such a risk
will be a loser their entire life.

365
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:09,913
I'd lose by not playing,
so the only choice was to try and win.

366
00:22:12,332 --> 00:22:13,792
I see.

367
00:22:14,626 --> 00:22:19,172
Congratulations. Henceforth,
this gambling den is yours, Mary!

368
00:22:20,590 --> 00:22:22,509
Mary! You did it!

369
00:22:22,592 --> 00:22:25,470
Wait. What about the literary club?!

370
00:22:25,553 --> 00:22:26,513
Forget it.

371
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:33,186
You accepted your win in the first round
even though your card was switched.

372
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:35,939
You have no right to protest.

373
00:22:52,122 --> 00:22:54,999
Miss Juraku! I'm so sorry.

374
00:22:55,083 --> 00:22:58,461
This happened because
I'm worthless and weak!

375
00:22:58,545 --> 00:23:01,423
Punish me as you see fit! Please!

376
00:23:02,215 --> 00:23:07,679
Mary Saotome beat a classmate
on her first day at our school.

377
00:23:07,762 --> 00:23:08,721
Huh?

378
00:23:08,805 --> 00:23:10,432
Isn't that interesting?

379
00:23:11,057 --> 00:23:13,852
I wanted to know what she's like.

380
00:23:13,935 --> 00:23:15,645
So you made me…

381
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:19,065
The whole thing with Togakushi
was just an excuse.

382
00:23:19,149 --> 00:23:21,151
I didn't care about the outcome.

383
00:23:21,234 --> 00:23:26,448
But the results
were beyond my expectations.

384
00:23:27,824 --> 00:23:31,661
My, my, how brazen and impertinent she is.

385
00:23:31,744 --> 00:23:33,580
But she's also bold.

386
00:23:33,663 --> 00:23:37,167
She never doubts that she will win.

387
00:23:38,251 --> 00:23:43,715
I want to know what she sounds like
when she cries her eyes out.

388
00:23:46,426 --> 00:23:47,969
You're amazing, Mary!

389
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:51,473
I didn't think you'd pull off
such a brilliant win.

390
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:53,099
That was so cool!

391
00:23:53,766 --> 00:23:57,687
Well, I only won a gambling den.

392
00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:00,982
I have to make money now,
or we won't get anywhere.

393
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:03,026
Still…

394
00:24:03,526 --> 00:24:07,280
I do like having a place to call my own.

395
00:24:11,534 --> 00:24:15,622
I always wanted to be like you, Mary.

396
00:24:20,752 --> 00:24:22,378
-Fine.
-Huh?

397
00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:25,381
I'll be your friend.

398
00:24:25,965 --> 00:24:27,467
You did ask, remember?

399
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:30,136
But I have one condition.

400
00:24:30,929 --> 00:24:33,014
You're going to
get rid of that "Mittens" tag.

401
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,769
Don't you hate being called a house pet?
I can't stand it.

402
00:24:37,852 --> 00:24:40,772
And I hate hearing people
call my friend that.

403
00:24:41,481 --> 00:24:42,732
But that's not all.

404
00:24:43,274 --> 00:24:44,776
We're gonna come out on top.

405
00:24:45,485 --> 00:24:47,737
That way, no one
will look down on us again.

406
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:51,282
If gambling is the only way to win,
that's what we'll do!

407
00:24:52,325 --> 00:24:54,327
We're going to be champions!

408
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:04,671
Why are you crying?!
Did I say something wrong?

409
00:25:04,754 --> 00:25:05,838
No.

410
00:25:06,589 --> 00:25:08,800
Me? A champion?

411
00:25:08,883 --> 00:25:11,177
I never dared to imagine that.

412
00:25:11,261 --> 00:25:15,181
She's just like I thought.
And it's really true.

413
00:25:17,642 --> 00:25:21,688
Mary has gallantly appeared
to lend me a helping hand.

414
00:25:22,522 --> 00:25:24,023
My Prince Charming!

415
00:25:24,107 --> 00:25:25,942
