[suspenseful electronic music playing]

2
00:00:16,476 --> 00:00:17,435
Sakura.

3
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:20,271
[Sakura] You gave both of our groups
different maps.

4
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:23,483
And you had us searching for different
treasure boxes from the beginning.

5
00:00:24,275 --> 00:00:27,737
The hunt you created
was just a childish warm-up.

6
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:30,364
The real game begins right now.

7
00:00:30,948 --> 00:00:33,201
We'll be fighting for these boxes!

8
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:35,453
Prepare, Saotome!

9
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:36,829
We end this!

10
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:39,123
Careful, Mary!

11
00:00:39,207 --> 00:00:40,249
[Mary grunting]

12
00:00:43,461 --> 00:00:44,545
Very well.

13
00:00:45,213 --> 00:00:46,839
[Sachiko cackling]

14
00:00:46,923 --> 00:00:48,216
Well done, all.

15
00:00:48,299 --> 00:00:51,511
Let's play your final match
in a setting that's more appropriate.

16
00:00:52,095 --> 00:00:54,514
Of course, you will gamble.

17
00:00:55,598 --> 00:00:57,016

00:01:42,061 --> 00:01:43,771
[both gasping]

21
00:01:44,605 --> 00:01:46,732
Hey! Good to see you.

22
00:01:46,816 --> 00:01:48,985
Aoi? Why are you here?

23
00:01:49,569 --> 00:01:52,113
Well, Juraku told me what you were up to.

24
00:01:52,196 --> 00:01:54,740
Once I heard, I couldn't resist, you know?

25
00:01:54,824 --> 00:01:56,242
[tense music playing]

26
00:01:56,325 --> 00:01:58,202
[Aoi] A Council member of Full-Bloom

27
00:01:58,286 --> 00:02:01,080
and a talented newbie
are playing against each other?

28
00:02:01,164 --> 00:02:02,790
There's no way I'd miss this.

29
00:02:04,375 --> 00:02:07,628
Happy to be here.
I'll be your dealer for this game.

30
00:02:08,212 --> 00:02:10,173
I'm excited to see this play out.

31
00:02:10,256 --> 00:02:12,633
I'll be rooting for each of you,
so you can focus on playing.

32
00:02:12,717 --> 00:02:14,260
[all] Uh…

33
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:18,222
[Sakura] Now that he's here,
I definitely can't lose this match.

34
00:02:18,306 --> 00:02:19,432
Fine, then.

35
00:02:19,515 --> 00:02:21,601
This game was supposed
to be an opportunity for me

36
00:02:21,684 --> 00:02:24,020
to show-off to him in the first place.

37
00:02:24,103 --> 00:02:26,147
It won't change what I'm going to do.

38
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:30,693
Play as hard as I can
and beat Saotome once and for all.

39
00:02:30,776 --> 00:02:34,280
So this is the game the two of you
will be playing this afternoon.

40
00:02:34,906 --> 00:02:36,532
It's called the "Dice Nim" game.

41
00:02:36,616 --> 00:02:38,409
"Dice Nim"? Really?

42
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:40,453
Yeah. You sound surprised.

43
00:02:40,536 --> 00:02:41,787
You know how to play it, right?

44
00:02:42,371 --> 00:02:44,081
[Sakura] I'm familiar with the idea.

45
00:02:44,165 --> 00:02:47,919
You have two players removing one
to three stones from a twenty-stone pile,

46
00:02:48,002 --> 00:02:50,963
Trying to leave the last one
for the loser to claim.

47
00:02:51,047 --> 00:02:52,590
Is that about right?

48
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:56,802
Right. But with those rules,
whoever starts the match off is gonna win.

49
00:02:57,386 --> 00:03:00,348
So, you'll be using dice today
to spice things up a little.

50
00:03:00,431 --> 00:03:04,227
As for the pieces, we'll be removing
these handy "Go" stones I found.

51
00:03:04,894 --> 00:03:06,479
The first player will roll this die,

52
00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:08,856
then I'll remove
the amount of stones from the bowl

53
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:10,608
equal to the number that they rolled,

54
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:12,860
and then the next player
will do the same, and so on.

55
00:03:12,944 --> 00:03:15,196
That's the rules of the game.

56
00:03:15,279 --> 00:03:16,364
Pretty easy, right?

57
00:03:16,447 --> 00:03:19,158
No fancy technology
that anyone can tamper with.

58
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:21,452
Just a totally equal playing field.

59
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:22,954
Nice and straightforward.

60
00:03:23,454 --> 00:03:24,830
Seriously?

61
00:03:24,914 --> 00:03:27,792
So everything we did before
doesn't count for anything?

62
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:31,003
After making us do all that legwork,
the rest is left up to fate?

63
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:35,007
[Mary] No.
This isn't entirely out of our control.

64
00:03:35,091 --> 00:03:36,509
There is a way to win this.

65
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:40,012
If I can pull this off,
we can definitely win.

66
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:42,640
I just hope it'll work.

67
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:45,017
Do I really stand a chance against her?

68
00:03:45,101 --> 00:03:48,020
Wasn't I just some amateur
a couple days ago?

69
00:03:48,104 --> 00:03:49,021
[Tsuzura gasping]

70
00:03:49,105 --> 00:03:50,481
Are you okay?

71
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:53,025
-Mary, your face looks a little down.
-[Mary] Hmm?

72
00:03:53,109 --> 00:03:53,985
[Mary giggling]

73
00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:55,027
I'm fine.

74
00:03:56,112 --> 00:03:59,782
Are you though? I always feel
like I'm such a burden to you.

75
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:02,368
I may not be very smart,

76
00:04:02,451 --> 00:04:04,287
but I'm pretty confident
I can play this game.

77
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:07,832
We're here for you!
Let us know if it starts getting too hard.

78
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,126
What? You said "we."

79
00:04:10,209 --> 00:04:12,086
Am I supposed to be included in that?

80
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:13,129
Of course!

81
00:04:13,212 --> 00:04:14,880
I do not have that kinda confidence.

82
00:04:14,964 --> 00:04:17,008
[Tsuzura] Don't say that.
Be kind to yourself.

83
00:04:17,091 --> 00:04:17,925
[Mary grunting]

84
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:21,053
[Mary] That's right. I have friends now.

85
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:24,432
I don't need
to keep doing this all by myself.

86
00:04:25,558 --> 00:04:27,977
Hey. Listen up, you two.

87
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:29,186
[both] Huh?

88
00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:32,440
[upbeat electronic music playing]

89
00:04:40,781 --> 00:04:42,700
[Aoi] We're all set to play.

90
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:45,536
I'll be watching your throws
to see what number you roll,

91
00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:47,455
then I'll remove the stones from the bowl.

92
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:50,124
Can I inspect everything before we start?

93
00:04:50,207 --> 00:04:51,083
[Aoi] Of course.

94
00:04:53,878 --> 00:04:56,005
We haven't manipulated them in any way.

95
00:04:56,088 --> 00:04:58,090
-[door opening, closing]
-[Sakura] Huh?

96
00:04:58,174 --> 00:04:59,091
[Aoi] Huh?

97
00:04:59,175 --> 00:05:01,469
[Aoi] Did Mary's friend just leave?

98
00:05:01,552 --> 00:05:03,971
She probably went
to the bathroom, or something.

99
00:05:06,057 --> 00:05:09,852
Anyways, we'll only be using the black
Go stones for this game, correct?

100
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:12,396
-That's right.
-[Mary] Okay, then.

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,522
They look fine.

102
00:05:14,315 --> 00:05:16,192
I want to review them as well.

103
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:18,986
What?
You're gonna start questioning me too?

104
00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:21,489
I'd expect nothing less from my fiancée.

105
00:05:21,572 --> 00:05:23,491
"Treat even a shallow river
like a deep one."

106
00:05:25,618 --> 00:05:27,703
[Sakura] I don't see an issue with these.

107
00:05:28,704 --> 00:05:30,122
[Aoi] Great. Who's gonna start?

108
00:05:30,956 --> 00:05:32,500
[Sakura] Saotome can go first.

109
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:34,001
[Aoi] Cool.

110
00:05:34,085 --> 00:05:37,505
Right. Let the Dice Nim game commence.

111
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,757
[Mary] My strategy is perfect.

112
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,842
If I were only able to play by myself,

113
00:05:41,926 --> 00:05:45,096
I'd probably have a 50-50 chance
to win, at best.

114
00:05:45,179 --> 00:05:46,514
But with three of us,

115
00:05:47,223 --> 00:05:50,017
we are totally going
to dominate this game.

116
00:05:50,935 --> 00:05:53,020
[footsteps approaching]

117
00:05:53,104 --> 00:05:55,523
[Mary] Hey. Listen up, you two.

118
00:05:55,606 --> 00:05:58,526
Tsuzura, when I start
checking the equipment,

119
00:05:58,609 --> 00:05:59,777
I need you to leave.

120
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,946
And make a bunch of noise
on your way out.

121
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,656
[Tsuzura] Huh? Why?

122
00:06:03,739 --> 00:06:05,741
I don't have time to explain right now.

123
00:06:06,242 --> 00:06:07,952
Just make
a lot of noise when you're leaving.

124
00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:10,371
When you're out,
I need you to go somewhere.

125
00:06:11,831 --> 00:06:15,000
[Tsuzura] I can't say
I understand her reasons behind this,

126
00:06:15,501 --> 00:06:18,587
but I know
I believe in Mary no matter what happens.

127
00:06:18,671 --> 00:06:21,549
If it's for her,
I would do anything for her.

128
00:06:25,261 --> 00:06:26,429
[Mary] It's two.

129
00:06:26,512 --> 00:06:29,557
Okay.
So that means I'm removing two stones.

130
00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:34,186
Next up is Sakura.

131
00:06:37,481 --> 00:06:38,315
[Sakura] Five.

132
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:39,900
I'll take out five.

133
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,319
[Yukimi] It'll be okay.

134
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:44,822
Mary must have a plan.

135
00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:48,826
There's no way she would've taken the time
to prep us like that, if she didn't.

136
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:52,955
But what if she ends up
being wrong about this?

137
00:06:54,206 --> 00:06:56,459
[Yukimi groaning, gasping]

138
00:06:59,503 --> 00:07:02,965
Calm down.
I can't keep overthinking things.

139
00:07:03,048 --> 00:07:04,467
I have to believe in her.

140
00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:08,971
[Sakura] Three.

141
00:07:11,056 --> 00:07:13,893
Whoa. Doesn't look
like there's a lot of stones left.

142
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:15,978
Mary, better not roll too high.

143
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:17,021
[Mary grunting]

144
00:07:17,104 --> 00:07:18,981
-[Sakura] This is pathetic.
-[Mary gasping]

145
00:07:19,064 --> 00:07:20,649
I don't like this game.

146
00:07:20,733 --> 00:07:23,861
There's no technique or trick
that the players need to know to win.

147
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,614
It's simpler than roulette,
but also much more boring.

148
00:07:26,697 --> 00:07:28,741
-[door opening, closing]
-And if that weren't enough…

149
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:29,867
Huh?

150
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:31,619
The other one left?

151
00:07:31,702 --> 00:07:34,371
I wish they would do that
a little more quietly.

152
00:07:34,455 --> 00:07:36,624
Makes it easier to set up a distraction.

153
00:07:36,707 --> 00:07:37,875
[Mary gasping]

154
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:40,044
[Sakura] Stop staring at me like that.

155
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:41,378
Go! It's your turn.

156
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:44,006
[Mary] Did I hear her right?

157
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:47,134
Is she accusing me of trying
to distract them from something?

158
00:07:47,718 --> 00:07:49,386
Does she know my plan?

159
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:51,639
Soon there won't be stones left to pull.

160
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:53,307
Go ahead and roll.

161
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:54,767
Quick. End it.

162
00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:56,685
-[suspenseful music playing]
-[Mary] No.

163
00:07:56,769 --> 00:07:58,020
It's gonna be all right.

164
00:07:58,854 --> 00:08:01,106
I'm positive I'll be able to win!

165
00:08:08,614 --> 00:08:10,282
Looks like a six.

166
00:08:13,035 --> 00:08:13,869
One.

167
00:08:14,370 --> 00:08:17,039
[Mary] If I'm right,
there should only be seven stones left.

168
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:19,583
-[Aoi] Two.
-[Mary] Then it'll be her turn, and…

169
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,669
-[Aoi] Three.
-[Mary] …that'll be the end.

170
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:24,171
-[Aoi] Four.
-[Mary] I know there were six stones.

171
00:08:24,255 --> 00:08:26,298
[Aoi] Five and six.

172
00:08:26,382 --> 00:08:27,299
[Mary exclaiming]

173
00:08:29,385 --> 00:08:30,803
Looks like we're done.

174
00:08:32,888 --> 00:08:35,015
You took the last stone that was left.

175
00:08:35,099 --> 00:08:37,184
No pieces remain for Sakura to take.

176
00:08:37,268 --> 00:08:39,562
-So, that means Mary loses.
-[Mary] What?

177
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:43,148
I don't… But how?

178
00:08:43,649 --> 00:08:44,692
[Sakura scoffing]

179
00:08:46,235 --> 00:08:48,237
[footsteps receding]

180
00:08:49,488 --> 00:08:50,698
Pardon my reach.

181
00:08:50,781 --> 00:08:52,199
[Mary gasping]

182
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:56,036
-Wait. Stop! [gasping]
-[dice clattering]

183
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:59,039
I see. Now I understand.

184
00:08:59,665 --> 00:09:00,541
You asked how?

185
00:09:02,126 --> 00:09:05,421
It must have been confusing for you
to lose, even after cheating.

186
00:09:05,504 --> 00:09:07,047
I saw through you.

187
00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:08,966
[ominous music playing]

188
00:09:09,717 --> 00:09:12,469
She was pocketing loaded dice
and switching them?

189
00:09:12,553 --> 00:09:13,846
That is correct.

190
00:09:13,929 --> 00:09:17,766
I'm confused. I thought Mibuomi
was the one who prepared the dice.

191
00:09:18,309 --> 00:09:21,520
Wouldn't it have been obvious
if something was off between each roll?

192
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:24,857
He noticed what she did to the dice
and didn't say anything out loud.

193
00:09:24,940 --> 00:09:26,275
That's just who he is.

194
00:09:26,358 --> 00:09:28,861
Come on.
You're making me sound like a jerk.

195
00:09:28,944 --> 00:09:31,947
The rules didn't say anywhere
that players couldn't cheat.

196
00:09:32,031 --> 00:09:34,950
I think it's pretty impressive
if you can get away with it.

197
00:09:35,034 --> 00:09:36,952
It shows what someone can really do.

198
00:09:37,578 --> 00:09:38,746
Or it can.

199
00:09:38,829 --> 00:09:41,999
Doesn't mean much if you get caught
doing it before the game is over.

200
00:09:43,167 --> 00:09:44,293
Right, Mary?

201
00:09:46,295 --> 00:09:48,505
It was easy to spot your deception.

202
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:51,675
Your first attempt
was before the game even started.

203
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:54,261
While the both of us
were examining the pieces,

204
00:09:54,345 --> 00:09:56,513
you put in one of your own dice
at that time.

205
00:09:57,097 --> 00:10:00,976
However, this initial die is not loaded
to favor any particular rolls,

206
00:10:01,060 --> 00:10:04,647
so we were able to continue the game
without any noticeable issue.

207
00:10:05,731 --> 00:10:07,399
Now, as for the Go stones.

208
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:09,860
The ones we requested for this challenge

209
00:10:09,943 --> 00:10:12,905
were delivered to this room
straight from the Go club.

210
00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:16,408
Per the game's rules,
there are 181 black stones

211
00:10:16,492 --> 00:10:19,411
and 180 white stones.

212
00:10:19,495 --> 00:10:22,539
If a player knows how many pieces
there are in the bowl,

213
00:10:22,623 --> 00:10:24,917
it's easy to keep track
of how many remain.

214
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,253
We'll only be using the black Go stones
for this game, correct?

215
00:10:28,337 --> 00:10:32,424
[Sakura] As we rolled, Saotome counted
the number of stones pulled.

216
00:10:32,508 --> 00:10:36,929
She bided her time, and waited until
there were seven stones left in play.

217
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:43,310
Saotome saw her opportunity and switched
a weighted die with the one on the table.

218
00:10:43,894 --> 00:10:46,438
This is the last game dice tossed.

219
00:10:46,522 --> 00:10:48,107
And this dice…

220
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:52,444
only rolls a six.

221
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,865
Which would have guaranteed
that I was left to take the final stone.

222
00:10:58,033 --> 00:10:59,660
She must have gone to great lengths

223
00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:01,870
to prepare as many loaded dice
as she could

224
00:11:01,954 --> 00:11:03,956
before playing against me today.

225
00:11:04,707 --> 00:11:08,460
But there was no way for us to know
what game we would be playing.

226
00:11:08,544 --> 00:11:11,380
Which means it wasn't possible
to use all of the dice

227
00:11:11,463 --> 00:11:13,215
she brought along in her pocket.

228
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,844
That's the reason behind
swapping out the die more than once.

229
00:11:16,927 --> 00:11:20,681
As long as the dealer didn't notice,
there was still a chance she could win.

230
00:11:22,433 --> 00:11:25,728
Additionally, she told her friends
to make loud noises when they were leaving

231
00:11:25,811 --> 00:11:27,479
so we'd be distracted.

232
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:34,403
I admit I admire your ability
to pivot in any given situation.

233
00:11:34,486 --> 00:11:37,740
Under normal circumstances,
there's no question I would have lost.

234
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:39,533
What happened?

235
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:42,619
How did I lose the game to you?

236
00:11:42,703 --> 00:11:43,620
[Sakura grunting]

237
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:46,749
I was supposed to be the winner. So, why?

238
00:11:46,832 --> 00:11:48,000
[Sakura sighing]

239
00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:51,170
It's so simple
I didn't think I needed to explain.

240
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:53,714
I pulled out one of the stones
before we started.

241
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:55,507
It's not complicated.

242
00:11:56,592 --> 00:11:57,509
[Mary gasping]

243
00:11:57,593 --> 00:11:59,511
Your trick of swapping out dice

244
00:11:59,595 --> 00:12:01,388
was something
I was able to easily predict.

245
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:05,142
I had a run-in with someone
that did the same thing the other day.

246
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:08,020
It didn't work then,
and is not working now.

247
00:12:09,104 --> 00:12:10,189
If you're going to cheat,

248
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:13,567
it's natural for me to assume
that you'd do anything to win.

249
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:16,153
You set up the play,

250
00:12:17,362 --> 00:12:19,531
but I made you take the final stone.

251
00:12:19,615 --> 00:12:22,075
I'm capable
of skirting around the rules too.

252
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:23,035
[Mary shuddering]

253
00:12:23,118 --> 00:12:26,038
Today, you prepared
a well-thought-out deception.

254
00:12:26,121 --> 00:12:27,998
But just like Aoi said,

255
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:30,209
it means nothing if you get caught.

256
00:12:30,709 --> 00:12:31,543
Saotome,

257
00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:35,088
you have proven that you're not worthy
to join Full-Bloom Council.

258
00:12:35,923 --> 00:12:37,549
You don't have what it takes.

259
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:43,222
[Mary shuddering]

260
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:47,976
[Mary] I can't believe it.

261
00:12:48,060 --> 00:12:49,353
I lost.

262
00:12:49,895 --> 00:12:51,480
My plan just went up in smoke.

263
00:12:52,356 --> 00:12:55,108
Nothing I did was enough
to beat this woman.

264
00:12:56,735 --> 00:12:57,611
[clearing throat]

265
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,988
Okay. Let's make this official.

266
00:13:00,572 --> 00:13:03,992
Sakura Miharutaki is the winner
of our Dice Nim challenge.

267
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:08,080
The treasure box she wagered
will be transferred from Mary to Sakura.

268
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:12,876
[Sakura] Mary Saotome,
was this all you had?

269
00:13:14,086 --> 00:13:16,880
I'm sure Aoi's thinking twice
about his obsession now.

270
00:13:16,964 --> 00:13:20,300
No. Don't tell me
you're jealous of Mary Saotome?

271
00:13:20,384 --> 00:13:22,386
[Sakura scoffing] Idiotic!

272
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:23,804
[Sachiko clapping]

273
00:13:24,388 --> 00:13:26,056
Very good, Sakura.

274
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:28,559
I was surprised
to see such a well-fought battle

275
00:13:28,642 --> 00:13:30,811
from a game
I threw together so last-minute.

276
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,729
Keep it to yourself.

277
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:35,315
I don't get anything
out of being praised by you.

278
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:36,441
[Sachiko chuckling]

279
00:13:36,525 --> 00:13:37,568
Is that right?

280
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:39,236
This is Miharutaki's.

281
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,822
It's the treasure box Saotome wagered.

282
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:46,159
-[ominous music playing]
-[Mikura cackling]

283
00:13:48,412 --> 00:13:50,831
[Mary] I cheated, got caught, and lost

284
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:53,333
after she took advantage
of what I was trying to do.

285
00:13:54,918 --> 00:13:57,462
I have no right to object to this.

286
00:13:57,921 --> 00:13:58,797
[box creaking]

287
00:13:58,881 --> 00:13:59,840
[Mary] That's fine.

288
00:14:00,424 --> 00:14:03,844
I'm still gambling. This isn't over yet.

289
00:14:03,927 --> 00:14:06,722
Uh, I don't understand.

290
00:14:06,805 --> 00:14:09,224
[tense electronic music playing]

291
00:14:09,892 --> 00:14:12,227
[Sakura] This is the map
Saotome was given.

292
00:14:12,311 --> 00:14:16,023
Why is this placed
inside my treasure chest?

293
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:17,733
-[door slamming]
-[Tsuzura] Mary!

294
00:14:17,816 --> 00:14:19,818
[both panting]

295
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:22,738
Yes! You're back!

296
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:24,531
Found it!

297
00:14:24,615 --> 00:14:25,532
[Sakura gasping]

298
00:14:25,616 --> 00:14:26,533
[Mikura] Huh?

299
00:14:26,617 --> 00:14:29,202
They were right where you told us
they'd be, Mary.

300
00:14:29,286 --> 00:14:33,332
[Sakura] What? There was another
treasure box we're supposed to find?

301
00:14:33,415 --> 00:14:35,000
What are they doing with that?

302
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:36,501
What is going on here?

303
00:14:37,628 --> 00:14:40,297
[Mary] What's wrong?
You're messing with me, right?

304
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,549
Oh. You look pale.

305
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:45,802
You know, you don't have to tell me,
but if I were to guess,

306
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:49,306
you haven't figured out
what's going on yet?

307
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:50,599
[Mary giggling]

308
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:53,644
[Mary] I guess a Council member
isn't that big of a threat.

309
00:14:54,645 --> 00:14:56,855
Mind explaining for the rest of us?

310
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:59,316
What's with the new treasure boxes
your friends brought in?

311
00:15:00,067 --> 00:15:01,234
I'd be happy to.

312
00:15:01,318 --> 00:15:03,695
We were operating
from a false understanding of the game

313
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:04,947
right from the start.

314
00:15:05,656 --> 00:15:08,533
We solved the puzzle of the map
using the clues we found.

315
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:11,954
And understanding the map
led us to the first of the treasure boxes.

316
00:15:12,037 --> 00:15:14,915
We thought we could access
the treasure inside them

317
00:15:14,998 --> 00:15:17,292
by using the key
on the other player's lock.

318
00:15:18,043 --> 00:15:20,587
But all of that was based
off an assumption.

319
00:15:21,296 --> 00:15:22,547
Maybe I'm wrong,

320
00:15:22,631 --> 00:15:25,968
but when you were looking at your map,
you assumed it was for this building.

321
00:15:26,051 --> 00:15:27,928
That's what we were told off the bat.

322
00:15:28,011 --> 00:15:30,222
Which of the floors did you search first?

323
00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:33,141
First floor. Where else would I start?

324
00:15:33,225 --> 00:15:35,268
[Mary] We did the same thing ourselves.

325
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:38,605
We searched the first floor
and found those titles from kid songs.

326
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:43,318
However, the setting
for this entrance exam,

327
00:15:43,402 --> 00:15:44,820
the student club building,

328
00:15:44,903 --> 00:15:46,738
is actually four-stories tall.

329
00:15:47,322 --> 00:15:50,242
And there are two numbered musical
notations that are slightly different.

330
00:15:50,826 --> 00:15:53,370
So, how do we interpret this information?

331
00:15:53,954 --> 00:15:55,872
This was the conclusion I came to.

332
00:15:57,165 --> 00:16:00,127
The two numbered musical notations
represent a point on the map

333
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:02,379
that has three-dimensional coordinates.

334
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:03,380
[Sakura gasping]

335
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:06,466
That was the real secret
we needed to decode.

336
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:07,384
Just look.

337
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,846
My lovely assistant
found this treasure chest

338
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:13,557
in the room located
at the three-dimensional coordinates.

339
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,642
This is what we were really looking for.

340
00:16:15,726 --> 00:16:17,728
[Sakura gasping, seething]

341
00:16:18,729 --> 00:16:20,772
But still, with the numbered notations

342
00:16:20,856 --> 00:16:24,151
there was no way to know
which axis was vertical or horizontal.

343
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:26,653
That's why I had the two of them split up.

344
00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:29,656
Having them leave the room wasn't just
a trick to distract you

345
00:16:29,740 --> 00:16:31,742
from what I was trying to do at the table.

346
00:16:32,242 --> 00:16:34,286
That's pretty clever of you.

347
00:16:34,369 --> 00:16:35,412
[Sachiko cackling]

348
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:37,164
I'm impressed, Mary.

349
00:16:37,247 --> 00:16:40,167
Congratulations. You are correct.

350
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:41,418
[Mary grunting]

351
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:45,380
So while we played,
that was all a ploy to buy time.

352
00:16:45,464 --> 00:16:47,632
[Mary] No. I don't think I'd say that.

353
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:51,344
My understanding of the coordinates
would only get us one chest.

354
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:54,931
And maybe I was a bit too overeager
to win at this point,

355
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:56,933
but I couldn't give up on the possibility

356
00:16:57,017 --> 00:16:59,686
that our treasure boxes
really had the answers.

357
00:17:00,395 --> 00:17:03,690
That's when I decided I was going
to get all the treasure chests.

358
00:17:04,483 --> 00:17:05,692
When did you know?

359
00:17:06,735 --> 00:17:09,946
It was right after the three of us
figured out how to solve the first riddle.

360
00:17:10,614 --> 00:17:12,699
When I saw you there waiting
before we even finished,

361
00:17:12,783 --> 00:17:15,702
I gotta be honest,
I didn't know what to do.

362
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:18,747
Was there any chance
I could win against you?

363
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:20,749
I couldn't help worrying about it.

364
00:17:21,374 --> 00:17:24,252
Your confidence was enough
to leave me feeling shaken.

365
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:28,256
But it was ultimately
what led to you showing me your map.

366
00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:29,257
[Sakura gasping]

367
00:17:29,341 --> 00:17:30,842
You knew you would win.

368
00:17:30,926 --> 00:17:33,011
You advertised your biggest weakness,

369
00:17:33,095 --> 00:17:34,429
and we exploited it.

370
00:17:35,013 --> 00:17:37,182
You lost because you underestimated us!

371
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:38,767
That pride was your downfall.

372
00:17:38,850 --> 00:17:40,268
[Sakura shuddering]

373
00:17:40,352 --> 00:17:41,520
Am I wrong?

374
00:17:41,603 --> 00:17:44,314
You were the one that said it was okay
for my friends to help.

375
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,857
Oh, man. That was good.

376
00:17:45,941 --> 00:17:48,276
Ooh, you really thought
you were playing on easy mode.

377
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,529
-[Tsuzura] Mary!
-[Mary] Let me have this!

378
00:17:50,612 --> 00:17:52,280
She thought
she was so much better than us.

379
00:17:52,364 --> 00:17:54,032
She's a loser! Loser!

380
00:17:54,116 --> 00:17:56,535
-Big, old idiot loser!
-Yeah. You're right.

381
00:17:56,618 --> 00:17:57,494
Huh?

382
00:17:58,078 --> 00:18:00,038
[Sakura]
I've been very condescending to you

383
00:18:00,997 --> 00:18:04,292
My arrogance allowed me
to be caught off-guard, and I lost.

384
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:05,794
I was wrong.

385
00:18:07,629 --> 00:18:10,048
I think you're extraordinarily talented.

386
00:18:11,133 --> 00:18:13,051
I apologize for my rudeness.

387
00:18:13,635 --> 00:18:16,555
[Mary] Whoa.
She's so much more mature than I am.

388
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:18,807
[upbeat electronic music playing]

389
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,185
-[both] Huh?
-What the hell is this?

390
00:18:22,894 --> 00:18:24,271
[Sachiko cackling]

391
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:26,565
That would be the prize
you were all trying to track down.

392
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:28,316
[all] Uh…

393
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,277
The game is now over.

394
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,821
Mary Saotome is today's winner.

395
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:34,197
-Heck yes!
-We won!

396
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:37,325
I can't believe how far ahead you were.
That's so amazing!

397
00:18:37,409 --> 00:18:41,079
Well, sure. But it's only because
of you two that I won.

398
00:18:41,705 --> 00:18:42,914
Thank you.

399
00:18:42,998 --> 00:18:45,041
[both exclaiming, laughing]

400
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:51,882
[Mikura] Who do you think you are,
Sakura Miharutaki?

401
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:53,592
How dare you lose?

402
00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:55,927
My plan was perfect.

403
00:18:56,011 --> 00:18:59,347
But now everything is falling apart
because of you!

404
00:18:59,431 --> 00:19:01,975
-What do I do with this?
-[Mikura] Saotome has a collar now.

405
00:19:02,684 --> 00:19:03,977
This isn't over.

406
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:06,980
I'll take that collar from her,
whatever it takes!

407
00:19:07,063 --> 00:19:11,067
I'm the only one
who deserves Mistress Juraku's discipline!

408
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:12,485
Only me!

409
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:17,449
Now, then. The wager was for you
to gain entry privileges into Full-Bloom.

410
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:21,953
Mary shall have unlimited right of entry
whenever she's ready to join.

411
00:19:22,579 --> 00:19:24,873
Any objections, Aoi? Now's the time.

412
00:19:25,457 --> 00:19:26,750
No. None from me.

413
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:29,836
So I have time to choose
if I wanna join. Good to know.

414
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,795
[girls giggling]

415
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:34,007
[Aoi] I gotta say. You are every bit
the woman I thought you were!

416
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:35,842
With you, we can do it!

417
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:38,553
Come on, Mary.
Why don't you join Full-Bloom!

418
00:19:38,637 --> 00:19:40,889
Hang on.
You just said I could take my time.

419
00:19:40,972 --> 00:19:43,892
It'd be a waste for us
to let someone so talented get away!

420
00:19:43,975 --> 00:19:45,769
-[Mary] Uh…
-I'm begging you, Mary!

421
00:19:45,852 --> 00:19:48,146
-Think of it as helping a friend out!
-[Mary] Too close!

422
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:51,399
I'm asking too, Saotome. Please join us.

423
00:19:51,483 --> 00:19:54,527
You are more than qualified
to serve on the council for the club.

424
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:56,613
Thanks. I appreciate the enthusiasm.

425
00:19:56,696 --> 00:19:58,865
[Aoi] Hey, hey.
What's going on here, Sakura?

426
00:19:58,949 --> 00:19:59,783
[both] Huh?

427
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:02,160
Why do you think your opinion is relevant?

428
00:20:02,244 --> 00:20:03,203
What?

429
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:06,414
Well, because I'm serving
as a Council member too.

430
00:20:06,998 --> 00:20:10,252
Why would you think that?
After all this, you're definitely fired.

431
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:12,629
[Sakura] Huh?

432
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:13,630
[all gasping]

433
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:15,048
You wouldn't!

434
00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:17,342
You let me go from losing one time?

435
00:20:17,425 --> 00:20:20,762
After everything I've done to prove
that I'm capable before this happened?

436
00:20:20,845 --> 00:20:23,014
[Aoi] This time is the problem, though.

437
00:20:23,098 --> 00:20:24,933
You have the track record,

438
00:20:25,016 --> 00:20:26,351
you could have easily won,

439
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:29,062
but you couldn't follow through
when it mattered.

440
00:20:29,145 --> 00:20:31,147
Fate's abandoned you this time around.

441
00:20:31,648 --> 00:20:33,775
We can't keep you as a member of the club.

442
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:36,528
You'll just end up being a liability
to everyone if we do.

443
00:20:37,237 --> 00:20:39,489
We don't need people who fall behind.

444
00:20:41,116 --> 00:20:42,867
You can stand there scared.

445
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:44,703
Lean on the rest of us to save you.

446
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:46,746
Keep being a damsel in distress.

447
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:49,416
Be pitiful for the rest of your time here.

448
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:51,418
[footsteps receding]

449
00:20:51,501 --> 00:20:53,211
No way. Really?

450
00:20:53,295 --> 00:20:56,298
Wait. You were thinking
about joining up with the Full-Bloom club?

451
00:20:56,381 --> 00:20:58,008
[Sakura] Oh. Of course, I was.

452
00:20:58,091 --> 00:21:01,219
You're worth 100 members.
I'm excited to have you.

453
00:21:01,303 --> 00:21:04,014
I'm a lucky guy. My fiancée's amazing.

454
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:07,017
[Sakura] So what now?

455
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:09,519
What does this mean for the two of us?

456
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:11,521
Are you going to call off our wedding?

457
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:12,605
Huh?

458
00:21:13,481 --> 00:21:15,734
[Sakura] You're disappointed
in me, right?

459
00:21:16,234 --> 00:21:19,529
You can't marry someone
who'd just keep causing problems.

460
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:20,864
[Aoi laughing]

461
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:23,867
That's stupid!
I'd never do something like that.

462
00:21:24,534 --> 00:21:28,705
There are benefits that come with powerful
families getting married I want.

463
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:31,041
Couldn't care less
about what kind of human you are.

464
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:32,709
It doesn't matter to me.

465
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:34,210
[all gasping]

466
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:38,423
You… What?

467
00:21:38,506 --> 00:21:40,175
What? Are you surprised?

468
00:21:40,258 --> 00:21:41,926
Now I'm the one you're underestimating.

469
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:45,472
[Sakura] You're right. I see your point.

470
00:21:46,556 --> 00:21:50,435
If the Mibuomi
and Miharutaki families are joined,

471
00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:53,021
we would be
one of the most powerful in Japan.

472
00:21:54,064 --> 00:21:57,192
That would be stupid to call it all off.

473
00:22:00,028 --> 00:22:02,655
Well, back to what actually matters.

474
00:22:02,739 --> 00:22:05,950
I know I'm kinda sounding like
a broken record today, but hear me out.

475
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:09,037
I really want you in Full-Bloom.

476
00:22:09,537 --> 00:22:10,705
[both shuddering]

477
00:22:11,289 --> 00:22:13,166
I promise you won't regret it.

478
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:15,460
And I'll do whatever it takes
to make it worth your while.

479
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:16,544
[hand slapping]

480
00:22:16,628 --> 00:22:18,963
EPISODE SIX: A RESISTING GIRL

481
00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:21,466
Huh?

482
00:22:21,549 --> 00:22:22,467
[both gasping]

483
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:23,968
-[Mikura gasping]
-[Sachiko cackling]

484
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:28,223
[exhaling slowly]

485
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:32,727
Could you please
take your hands away from me?

486
00:22:32,811 --> 00:22:33,978
[Aoi] Hmm?

487
00:22:34,062 --> 00:22:36,481
Why would I ever wanna be tied
to a stupid group

488
00:22:36,564 --> 00:22:38,358
headed by a fricking idiot?

489
00:22:38,441 --> 00:22:40,485
I will never join Full-Bloom!

490
00:22:40,568 --> 00:22:43,363
No matter what! I will never!

491
00:22:43,446 --> 00:22:45,698
-[upbeat music playing]
-[Sachiko giggling]

492
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:50,245
[Tsuzura] And that was it.

493
00:22:50,328 --> 00:22:52,497
Mary's plan to way
to pick a winning horse

494
00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:54,541
between the Full-Bloom club
and Student Council

495
00:22:54,624 --> 00:22:57,544
wrapped up much sooner
than any of us could have imagined.

496
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:05,677
I think that's part of Mary's style.

497
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,514
[inaudible]

498
00:23:10,432 --> 00:23:14,060
[Tsuzura] Togakushi is probably worried
about what might happen to us.

499
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:19,149
But, to be honest,
I'm just really happy we did it.

500
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:22,026
GAMBLING DEN REOPENING
NEW GAME DOUBT POKER

501
00:23:22,694 --> 00:23:25,280
[Tsuzura] And while we may not have
some grand plan to do it,

502
00:23:25,864 --> 00:23:29,451
I still think the three of us
are going to find our own way of winning.

503
00:23:30,368 --> 00:23:32,287
[inaudible]

504
00:23:32,871 --> 00:23:34,789
[Tsuzura] Whenever I see a smile
on Mary's face,

505
00:23:35,457 --> 00:23:38,293
I know part of that wish for me
has already come true.

506
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:47,385
There's no way to really know

507
00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:50,388
what kind of challenges
might be waiting for us down the road,

508
00:23:50,889 --> 00:23:55,268
but whatever might happen,
I know I'll be with Mary.

509
00:23:55,894 --> 00:23:57,854
She's everything.

510
00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,147
Walking into my life

511
00:23:59,230 --> 00:24:02,817
and extending a hand to save me
without asking a thing in return.

512
00:24:04,402 --> 00:24:06,070
Mary is my prince!

513
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:10,200
[music fades]

514
00:24:10,909 --> 00:24:12,911
[ending theme music playing]

515
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:40,832
[music fades]

516
00:25:41,791 --> 00:25:44,961
So you think you'll give up on Saotome
now that she's turned you down?

517
00:25:45,044 --> 00:25:46,963
[Aoi] Absolutely not.

518
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:48,798
I'm totally obsessed with her.

519
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:52,051
I can tell she's gonna end up being
a big player at this school.

520
00:25:52,135 --> 00:25:53,011
[laughing] Oh.

521
00:25:53,094 --> 00:25:56,389
I can't believe you can still say that
after you got burned.

522
00:25:56,472 --> 00:25:57,932
[Aoi] See? That's the thing.

523
00:25:58,016 --> 00:26:02,270
I really need her to join Full-Bloom
regardless of what she might want.

524
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:04,022
Otherwise…

525
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:07,942
I'm gonna have to crush her.

526
00:26:08,568 --> 00:26:10,403
[ominous flourish]
