Mama...
He caused Freecell such sadness.
He has broken Freecell.
You want to play a game with Kaito Daimon?
Huh, well, well...
To have a man like you, with such motivation,
gives me pride as your director.
However!
Remember this well.
You are a whelp, unfit to speak your opinions to me!
How did it go, Mr. Pinochle?
Lost

Pinochle's Resolve
So, you're tellin' me the truth?
Yes, if you win this game,
I'll tell you everything.
About what happened with you and Freecell.
A Replica?!
Yes, without a doubt, Eve's Ring was a Replica.
Impossible!
A chosen one of the Orpheus Order wouldn't get a Replica Ring!
But I'm certain it was.
Jeez, Sis!
What's the big idea, leaving me out of the loop?
This has nothing to do with you.
Go away.
The Orpheus Order may have something we're unaware of.
If so, that, too, is by Mr. Klondike's will.
Please wait a little longer, Mr. Freecell.
I know, Whist.
I'm the only one who can begin puzzle time with Kaito.
The true puzzle time, that is.
I'm relieved to hear that.
What do you say?
Shall we do this together?
Let's have a look at something interesting.
What do you think?
This is the game that I've made.
I call it, "Inferno Tower."
There are thirteen levels up this tower.
Each level has a color-matching puzzle.
To clear the puzzle, match all the colors of all areas on the dials.
When on the same level at once,
you and I will be given the same problem.
Of course, whoever solves it first wins.
The loser goes up to the next level via a lift.
With each successive level, the problems' difficulty increases.
In the end, whoever reaches the top level first wins.
So, Pinochle this time, huh?
Yes, it's the will of Mr. Klondike himself.
He said that?
I thought Pinochle couldn't do anything on his own.
According to our latest data,
Mr. Pinochle's Ring has been upgraded to an Orpheus Ring Gamma.
So, he will be completely absorbed by the Ring, eh?
Too bad...
for the Replica.
Now then, shall we begin?
Yeah.
Inferno Tower...
Play!
Be careful, Kaito!
He might try babblin' a bunch of weird crap again,
tryin' to get you off guard!
Don't you worry about that.
I will say no lies or trickery.
Today, I am in earnest.
What is that?
A blast furnace?!
When the winner reaches the top and wins again,
the loser's lift will be turned upside-down.
Bastard!
I told you, didn't I?
I will defeat you for real,
erase you from this world...
Kaito Daimon!
You can't!
This puzzle is too dangerous!
That's right!
Even if Kaito wins, the other guy will be...
It can't be stopped!
Just what are you after?
Why would you do this?!
Kaito Daimon has hurt others, walked all over them...
It's only right he be erased.
You're talking about that Freecell person?
Kaito broke his promise with Freecell,
and Freecell's mother died.
Kaito's hand paused!
That idiot!
Freecell cared for his mother.
He loved her!
And yet...
It may be true that Kaito broke his promise,
and that Freecell's mom died,
but still!
That's right!
Just how are those two things connected?
I will tell you that if Kaito Daimon wins.
Just before I die, yes?
When you know the truth,
you will bear the weight of your sin!
The sin of having killed me!
Kaito!
Stick it to him, Kaito!
What's more, Kaito Daimon is a liar.
A liar?
That's right, Kaito Daimon is a liar.
His lies wounded Freecell!
After breaking his promise,
he spread vicious rumors about Freecell to make himself look good.
He got in good with everyone else so that they'd believe his lies.
Such lies, such impudence!
Kaito wouldn't do something like that!
That bastard, talkin' crap again!
No...
It's a lie, but it's not a lie.
It's a lie, but it's the truth.
A lie, but the truth?
That's just how you are, Kaito Daimon.
You break promises, tell lies, betray others,
have wounded so many people!
Now, here, you'll pay for your sins!
Kaito!
Begone!
Begone already, Kaito Daimon!
You may be right.
When I was at Crossfield Academy,
I may have been a terrible person.
I didn't open my heart up to anyone.
But that...
Circumstances don't matter.
Bad is bad.
Whether I remember it or not doesn't matter either.
I probably can't do anything to change the fact I've hurt you all.
But that's exactly why I wanna know.
Just what did I do?
So I can apologize to you all!
A..Apologize, you say?
Enough bullshit!
The only way you can pay for your sins
is to disappear from this world!
I ain't gonna lose.
To know the truth...
I'm gonna win for sure!
You're saying Kaito really did hurt them?
I, Ana, think there's more than one truth.
Everything has two sides.
What's visible isn't the only truth.
All right, he's caught up.
I won't lose...
I will not lose!
The Orpheus Ring!
It's runnin' wild?
I won't forgive him.
Freecell...
Kaito Daimon wounded Freecell,
and I won't forgive him!
Is this really for your friend?
Is he really your friend?
Is it really...
Shut up.
Shut up, shut up!
Freecell is my...
my one and only friend!
One more puzzle and Kaito wins!
But if Kaito wins, that guy will...
What is it?
Solve the puzzle!
Solve it!
Let's stop this!
Victory's decided.
I've won.
There's no reason to keep on going.
Just...
shut your mouth!
Kaito!
"Victory's decided," my ass!
We're just getting started!
Fine! If that's how you want it!
I'll...
Why?! Why won't you solve it?
You said this was for Freecell,
your one friend.
Wh..What of it?
If it were me,
I wouldn't want my friend to go hurting someone,
or to get hurt.
It would seem it's concluded.
Parting is always painful.
Kaito moved the lift and made it catch on that pole.
Yoshio, move out!
Here...
You? Why?
The truth is, you wanna be Freecell's friend, right?
You wanna do puzzles with him, right?
Then try it.
Start from there, got it?
Lucky for Pinochle, eh?
We were able to destroy the Ring.
No problems there.
Let's inform Mr. Herbert that Mr. Pinochle lost his life.
What was that?!
Pinochle is dead?
Yes, it was an accident.
I thought he was of little use,
but for him to die before being of any value...
He was even worse than a maggot!
Wh..What are you doing?
Those of the Orpheus Order
were chosen by Mr. Klondike, knights of valor.
If you are even a shadow of a knight,
show respect to the dead!
You're a fool, Pinochle.
The truth is...
I hated Mama.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
Your fault?
Back then, after you broke your promise,
Freecell said he wanted to see you again.
Is that so?
Uh, I never saw him again.
When I heard Freecell's story,
I said that I would tell you for him,
but...
You mean you never told him?!
Why not?
I was scared.
I felt like the two of you
would become friends and I'd be left on my own.
I didn't want the truth to be known,
so I lied to Freecell and said
you had spread rumors about him.
I said bad things about you so that he'd believe me.
I talked a lot of talk and made more friends,
all to spread bad rumors about you.
But that's...
During the puzzle, you said that Kaito did everything!
You were talkin' about yourself?!
I knew you were lyin'!
No!
I..I'm sorry.
But at the time, I'd convinced
myself it was Kaito who had done it.
I don't even know how myself...
A lie, but the truth.
Huh? What's that mean?
He was afraid his lie would be exposed.
That feeling may have been twisted by the Ring.
I guess you could say his memory was rewritten.
Huh? His memory rewritten?
To escape from the fear of his lies, of his sins,
his memory was rewritten...
To make Kaito do what he'd done.
What's more, with Kaito out of the way,
his lie would be forever unknown, would become the truth.
Tell me one more thing.
That thing about me making
Freecell's mom sad and her dying...
Was that true?
I don't know.
You don't know?
That Kaito broke his promise,
and that Freecell's mother died are both true.
But how those two things are related...
Even I don't know that.
Still, he believes it, doesn't he?
For him, it's the truth.
I really am sorry.
Because of me, both Kaito and Freecell...
I'm the one who broke my promise.
Nothing's gonna change that.
Just get some rest for now.
That's right!
Thanks for telling us all that hard stuff.
You're one of us now, Pinochle!
I don't know about that.
The jury's still out.
Gammon!
Yeah, it's like Gammon said.
Kaito, you too?
I ain't done a puzzle with the real you yet.
Once you get better, let's do a puzzle together!
We'll start from there!
Thank you!
Freecell...
I want you to help Freecell too!
Save him from the Orpheus Order,
and from Klondike.
Klondike?
"Civility," my ass!
He's shown no courtesy at all!
A mere child, sullying me with those dirty hands!
You have failed repeatedly, and Pinochle is dead.
Mr. Klondike is doubting your ability to lead.
The idiot died, that's all!
I had nothing to do with it!
As you say.
However, Mr. Klondike is most displeased.
My subordinates don't apologize,
my boss misunderstands me...
What kind of unlucky star was I born under?
There is but one way to appease Mr. Klondike's anger.
What is it?
Tell me already.
It's...

Kaito Daimon!
It seems you have finally made me take this seriously.
God Himself would fall prostrate before this puzzle I've made!
It simply cannot be solved!
All of you, come challenge it together!
Next time, "Regarding That Man, Herbert"
Regarding That Man, Herbert
Well, now I shall show you.
This thank-you party, let's begin!
