In the midst of your sadness...
You made Mama die.
What does that mean?
Dammit!
Kaito...
Are you okay, Kaito?
First Cubik, now Kaito.
Two losses in a row.
We're up against the wall.
N..Now's not the time to talk like that!
We can't lose any of the next three games.
Even if I don't lose,
I'm worried about...
The next game with Ana,
and the guy who fights again in the last battle:
Kaito.
The way he is now, Kaito ain't much use.
What'd you say?!
Kaito!
Normally, there's no way you'd lose to a punk like that.
Am I wrong?
Kaito!
Wait, Kaito!
Here's a charm for you, Kaito:
Happy-smiley.
Lost
Tesaguri de sagashiteta I've searched, groping

I Want to Give You Happy-Smiley
Hey!
Wait, Kaito!
Kaito, come on!
Kaito...
Why were you so cruel to Kaito?
You think he would have lost if he'd shown
the same strength as always?
Well...
Still, for him to get so flustered...
The wounds in Kaito's heart 'cuz of his parents
ain't healed yet, is that it?
Damn, these Orpheus Order guys use some dirty tricks.
This food they've prepared for us is awesome though.
And? Where's Kaito?
He hasn't come back yet.
Nonoha either.
I see.
Dude, you can eat, huh?
I can't provide good support on an empty stomach.
Yoshio, you should charge your
batteries while you can too.
In any case, where did Ana run off to?
Kaito and Nonoha ain't back yet either.
To think that Kaito still has suffering I didn't know about...
And his face shows that suffering.
But there's nothing I can do for him.
That's just so sad...
I, Ana, think you get a charm too.
Fluffy-smiley!
Ana...
Still, other people's intentions put their eyes firmly on Kaito.
But their gazes aren't just round,
or gentle.
They're grating, thorny, sometimes piercing.
Yet, Kaito doesn't avoid their eyes.
So, I want Kaito to have some soft and fluffy too.
The soft and fluffy that I, Ana, got from that person.
"That person"?
The person who got rid of the spell that was cast on me.
The person who freed me, Ana,
from inside that heavy shell.
My precious Eve.
Eve?
Eve is my older sister.
I, Ana, had long forgotten how to smile,
but she gave me a fluffy painting as a present.
When I, Ana, got that fluffy painting from Eve,
it made my heart soft.
And thanks to that softness, I found happy-smiley.
That's why...
So this is where you've been.
It's almost time for the next game to start, yes?
Come on, let's go to the rink, Pinochle.
Uh, yeah.
Where's Mizerka?
Big Sis went to go see her opponent.
What for?
She said she had something to confirm.
Something to confirm?
Just what do you want to confirm?
Have you been well, Miss Stuffed Animal?
Where do you get off?!
Sorry, I don't have time for you right now.
H..Hey!
What do you want to confirm?
Hey, are you listening?
I thought it might be, but...
Yes, sure enough, it's you.
Finished!
What? What is it?
You seem rather confident to be drawing pictures.
You've completely forgotten that you lost to me
in the last game, have you?
Huh?
The third game shall now begin.
The opponents are Mr. Ana Gram and Miss Mizerka.
We're countin' on ya, Ana!
Leave it to me!
I, Ana, will do my best!
I, Ana, will try my utmost!
I said we're up against the wall.
Is that guy gonna be okay?
If it were my turn...
Even if you won, Ana's turn would still come around.
Sooner if not later.
Anyway, where's Kaito?
It's not like if he were here,
he could give Ana help from the bench.
It's against the rules.
More to the point,
I don't think he's capable of that right now.
Huh? He's not here?
I guess he's no big deal after all, Kaito Daimon.
It's starting.
The first move goes to Mr. Ana Gram, player from
the team with fewer victories.
Now then, third game...
Play.
Well, I'm very sorry for keeping you so late,
but please continue analyzing the data, Maze.
Still, in our
2,000-year history, the POG hasn't been able to collect
many Armlets of Orpheus.
How did they acquire all theirs?
Maybe there are many
Armlets out there that still haven't been discovered.
Or...
It couldn't be, right?
All right, make your next move.
This time, I'll probably...
go here!
This is a good move!
Why?
It doesn't seem a particularly effective move to my eyes.
Well, I feel like a little bird is calling me.
Look, we're up against the wall!
Make it happen, Ana!
Then, I...
Oh, my, a delicious scent is coming from over there.
I shall strike right back.
A nice wind is blowing from over here.
Is that person for real?
He's just going around the rink's circumference.
It can't be.
Going 'round in circles is fun!
Indeed.
As I'd heard, you're quite interesting.
Free-spirited people like you...
I can't stand.
In the midst of your sadness...
You made Mama die.
That's right, it was a rainy day.
I saw him...
them!
I never dreamed that was Freecell's mother.
His mom really died?
I finally found you.
I'm still gonna go 'round and round!
Do what you want.
So, even though the game has begun,
Kaito Daimon fails to appear?
Whether he's here or not doesn't matter, does it?
It's still an interesting game.
True enough.
Mizerka, who fights the most orthodox of us all,
versus her polar opposite, Ana Gram.
How will things turn out?
Thrilling, isn't it?
Y..Yes, that's right.
Why not keep screwing around like that?
I'm going to get ready to finish this.
This is fun too!
Say, don't you think Mizerka is "off" somehow?
People like you...
People who live their lives however they want...
I really hate them!
Instinctively...
From the bottom of my heart, I can't accept you!
I, Ana, will get one too!
You're selfish, self-centered, conceited...
You care nothing for the trouble you cause!
Sometimes, being right in the middle feels good, huh?
You've confused freedom with selfishness.
Your life is frivolous, nothing more!
As proof of that, even now, you're defending Kaito Daimon.
This is bad!
At this rate, Ana will...
Victory will be celebrated in three moves,
but...
Big Sis is always so collected.
Why is she...
I can't understand it at all.
He drove Freecell's mother to the grave,
yet he paid it no mind,
went on living his own life as if nothing had happened.
You're allies with the lowest form of scum!
She called Kaito "scum"?!
Probably, those words just now...
That person... Mizerka's turn...
He stopped it!
Those words just now...
I, Ana, won't allow them.
Hey, where are we going?
Just come on!
Won't allow them?
That's my line.
Or do you have some explanation that can sway my mind?
Why do you cover for that scum?
The way Kaito is now, it's just like...
I'm gonna teach you a great charm, Ana.
No matter how cold your heart may get,
it will make it nice and warm.
It's that kind of charm.
Happy-smiley, fluffy-smiley.
And now, it's my turn.
Look, what the hell?!
Come on!
Look!
You're not alone, Kaito.
Ana... The others... Me... We're all with you.
No matter what happens, we're together.
So...
I, Ana, want to cherish the happy-smiley Eve gave me.
Acting incomprehensibly again...
So, Da Vinci is back to normal?
Big Sis...
Yes...
You keep mocking people relentlessly, don't you?
No, Ana, that's just the same as before!
Gammon?
I want to cherish that happy-smiley.
Then, you should all softly, gently...
commit suicide together!
This is the end.
It really is.
You made a good run of it, but...
Too bad, Mizerka.
I, Ana, think...
You were close, but the answer is...
Happy-smiley, fluffy-smiley.
Two turns left, and Ana wins!
No way!
It can't be!
He read her moves?
It's settled.
Third game, winner:
Mr. Ana!
Yoohoo!
That was great, Ana!
By bein' persistent and circling the outside
of the lanes, your totally distracted her.
Great job!
Oh, so it was a strategy.
Huh?
How unsightly.
Not like you, is it?
To get that worked up?
Big Sister, your punishment will follow.
We've only suffered one loss.
Souji Jikukawa's guess may have been accurate.
The Orpheus Order is attempting to enter forbidden territory,
places even we POG feared to tread.
Thank you, Ana.
I get happy just looking at it.
But I...
Kaito, make it warm.
That young man's smile is frozen.
So, Kaito, warm it up.
I'm sure you're the one who can
give him happy-smiley.
That's why...
I want to know the truth.
He really is just as Eve said.
Him, and his friends...
I hate them all!

It's been so boring, huh?
What suddenly happened to you, Airi?
Your friends have had lots of air time recently,
so I thought maybe now I'm needed.
O..Oh, really?
The foil and straight man,
telling punch line after punch line, after punch line!
I'm needed!
Hey there! We're Nonoha and Airi!
Next time, "The Truth Behind the Smile"
The Truth Behind the Smile
You're not appearing next week, are you?
But, why not?!
