Yes!
Licky-Licky Licky-
Good, good! Good, good!
I used up the rest of my allowance for this month!
I'm no good at anything I do.
Here.
For you.

Licky-Licky's Trap
I, Ana, think there are different types of Orpheus Rings, aren't there?
Yes, I'm surprised as well.
I'm examining what's left of the earring for specifics.
More to the point,
makin' an amateur use somethin' like that...
Who are these "Orpheus Order" fools?
Well, they said they "embrace the great Orpheus,"
"and seek to free man from the yoke of the lesser gods," right?
Gods...
Yoke...
That's right.
"The clarity of the human mind was shunned by the gods,"
"and its fundamental abilities sealed."
That is the ideology that has continued, unbroken, within that society.
Such is the Orpheus Order.
So, their objective is to free those sealed abilities?
Yes,
and to restore man's "almighty power."
That's why they've reached out to Kaito?
To accomplish that?
I don't know the details myself.
But it's safe to say that whatever their reason, it's no cause for celebration.
The Orpheus Order appears to be
an even more radical organization than the POG when it had lost its way.
So, for the sake of your own greed,
those guys are using puzzles to bring about sorrow?!
Oh, no! I spilled it!
I told you, didn't I?
It's dangerous to try to carry that much at once.
I'm sorry.
All right, we're gonna clean this up, so move.
I really am sorry, I'll help.
Those guys!
Puzzle
What do you think you're doing?!
You've got it wrong!
What's wrong about it?!
It's true!
I was the one who said I'd carry everyone's!
Huh? Really?
Right now, the Puzzle Club is training fiercely
to try to win the Junior Puzzle World Cup.
They're even working through their lunch hours.
That's why I tried to at least get their food.
What are you saying?
Airi, you're a member of the Puzzle Club too, right?
I'm no good at either making or solving puzzles.
I really can't do anything at all, can I?
Oh! I have to go buy everyone's drinks.
Well, Uppperclassman Nonoha, if you'll excuse me!
Let me know if you get in trouble.
I'll help you!
Thank you very much.
Ow...
Are you okay?!
I'm used to it.
I fell again...
At this rate, maybe you won't even be able to remember.
Me, that is.
So, I've met him before?
When? Where?
All-Japan Elementary School Puzzle Tournament, Division Series 2nd Place
I'm no good the way I am now.
Is that so?
If you ask me, you're a little too kind, that's all.
It's not that you lack skill.
It's just tucked away inside your heart.
This ring is a charm.
It can bring out your true power.
Power tucked away inside my heart, huh?
The cross sum too?!
Cross Sum: Takeda's Puzzle Airi Cleared
Not possible!
The number area too?!
Number Area: Takeda's Puzzle Airi Cleared
Not the number area!
The block split too?!
Block Split: Takeda's Puzzle Airi Cleared
What, the block split?!
I..I don't believe it!
The puzzles that Mr. Naoki himself made
for the Junior Puzzle Word Cup,
Aizawa solved in no time flat!
So sorry.
I've shown you what I'm really capable of!
Airi, that's so...
...incredible.
You're incredible, Airi!
Yeah, yeah, Airi, Airi!
Oh, Mr. Takeda!
Yes?!
I'm thirsty.
Ma'am!
Here's your favorite, Miss Airi:
canned sweet bean soup.
Hey! Why is this strained?
Sweet bean soup should have the beans still in it!
Ah! I'll buy another one right away!
Jeez, he's just useless..
Airi?
Upperclassman Nonoha!
What's going on?
That's what I want to ask.
What's going on with you, Airi?
Nothing at all.
I've simply stopped hiding who I really am.
Who you really are?
Oh, it's perfect timing!
Upperclassman, can I ask you a favor?
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
Huh?
I mean, that's what you said, right?
To let you know if I get in trouble.
Unbelievable...
It's like it was a bad dream or something.
Still, friggin' Nonoha sure is late!
She's the one who asked to meet so I could try her new sweets.
That Airi...
I wondered what she meant by "in trouble," but...
That girl...
Up?
Jeez, how long are you gonna make me wait, Nonoha?!
Kaito Daimon, Miss Airi seems to want something from you!
Huh?
To Upperclassman Kaito Airi
What the heck is Airi up to, inviting me to a place like this?
Upperclassman Kaito!
Airi?
Up till now, I've been a clumsy doofus, no good at all,
but as of today I'm no longer that Airi.
And so, I'll have you help as well.
H..Help?
Kaito Daimon, you will tackle my puzzle!
What?!
Huh?
Kaito Daimon, you will tackle my...
Huh?
Um...
Why have I gotta go up against you?
It's obvious.
If I beat you with my puzzle, no one can
make fun of me anymore, can they?
No one's makin' fun of you.
Upperclassman Kaito,
if you don't accept my challenge,
something dear to you could get hurt.
Something dear?
What do you think is inside that stuffed doll?
You...
That!
It's an Orpheus Ring!
So, they've brainwashed Airi too!
It can't be!
You'll accept the challenge, right?
I'll present the puzzle on this computer.
There's one Licky-Licky block in the middle
of this five-by-five grid area.
I'll put other blocks around it to cover it up,
and you'll have to use the computer to operate the crane
and remove the blocks in the way.
Please rescue Licky-Licky
within the set number of moves.
Simple, right?
However!
Each time you move the crane,
the Licky-Licky stuffed toy will
move closer to the ground.
If you can't solve the puzzle within the set number of moves...
What do you think?
Do you like my puzzle?
Dammit!
All right, fine.
I'll save them, all of them.
Puzzle time...
Let's begin!
You have just three moves.
I may have shown a little too much skill!
But if I hadn't, it wouldn't be much of
a challenge for you, Upperclassman Kai-
I really get three turns, right?
Huh?
Three!
Huh, huh?!
Two!
Stop! Stop!
That puzzle just now was the wrong one.
This is the real one.
Huh?! You can't do that!
Yes, I can.
You get three turns this time.
Where am I?
Three.
Two.
Th..This was the wrong one too.
What, again?!
Hey, where I am I?
Let me out!
This is the next one.
Three.
Two.
Gimme a break!
You seem out of your usual element, Kaito Daimon.
Who are you?
But you may wish to hurry.
The Orpheus Ring places great strain on the human mind.
As you well know.
That woman is speaking the truth, Kaito!
You two!
I realized it after I finished analyzing the earring's remains.
At this rate, Airi will be swallowed up by the ring!
Furthermore, the ring is made such that it cannot
be removed unless you win.
Now then, will you solve this puzzle first?
Or will she be broken?
I want to beat Upperclassman Kaito.
To win, and not have people make fun of me anymore!
I will have my skills acknowledged.
So... So...
Remove that many blocks in just three moves?
That can't be solved!
Airi!
This is bad!
If the Giver loses consciousness,
the puzzle can't be repealed!
At this rate...
What will you do, Kaito?
Kaito!
There's no puzzle I can't solve!
Kaito!
Solved it!
I get it!
He's moving multiple blocks with each turn.
That's Kaito all right!
Look after Airi!
The hell is this?!
It ain't Nonoha...
It's your prized Galactic Puzzle Policeman, Poly Cube.
Hngraaa!
Monster & Hero Show
No..Nonoha, you...
I'm Tebero.
Te..Tebero?
Thanks to you, I've collected some splendid data.
Thank you, Nonoha Itou.
Huh?!
That person did that to you, Upperclassman Nonoha?
I didn't ask for that at all!
I just wanted you to go to class for
something you'd forgotten.
I know.
Don't worry about it.
Everyone's got something they keep inside them.
What I hate is those guys,
who would pull it to the surface and use it for evil.
No matter what they do to me,
I'd never want you to be used like that, Upperclassman Nonoha.
Thank you.
Well, I guess I was a little careless too.
Still, when you heard "something dear"...
Kaito, is that what you think of me?
No way!
When I saw that stuffed toy thing,
I thought of you, that's all.
Huh?
Say, I don't have that eccentric of a face, do I?
I sure do love Licky-Licky!
So you're not denying it?
It's oddly cute...
Huh? Oddly?
You'd say "oddly" about me?
You're just plain odd.
Odd?!
Sweet Bean Soup
A-hem, o-hem!
This is the sweet bean soup we have for you today!
We have not just bean but also chestnut
and pumpkin paste varieties!
Look, I don't need these anymore.
In that case, give us your next order...
Miss Airi!
Airi... Airi... Airi...
Upperclassman!
There now, there now...
Ai..Ai..Ai..Ai..
Miss Airi!
Leave me alone!
