With this power, which I have received from Mr. Klondike,
that miserable Kaito Daimon is...
Mr. Herbert...
Enter.
My apologies.
We've only just received word.
Kaito Daimon and his associates
are headed here to the castle.
What?
Why?
Why do they know this place?
Just what are they up to?
What shall we do?
Well, fine.
If they're doing us the favor of coming here,
we must give them a proper greeting.
This is acceptable?
Of course it's acceptable.
This is a chance given me by God,
for me to reclaim my worth.
Kaito Daimon...
Lost
Tesaguri de sagashiteta I've searched, groping
Tozasareta mirai no kotae nante doko nimo nai The answer to a future that's been closed off

Found

Regarding That Man, Herbert
Look, let's not do this.
We still don't know how dangerous a group
the Orpheus Order is.
Going to the hideout Pinochle
mentioned is the only way to see Freecell.
I want you to help Freecell too!
Save him from the Orpheus Order,
and from Klondike.
Klondike?
I have to come through for Pinochle.
No, I want to.
But...
You don't gotta worry!
Kaito...
Once he's made up his mind, he won't budge an inch.
You know that, right?
But, sure enough, not knowing a thing about
this "Klondike" guy really bugs me.
This is it.
We thank you for your visit.
Mr. Herbert awaits you.
Herbert?
He's waiting for us?
It opened!
Please, come in.
They're watchin' us from somewhere, huh?
Fine by me!
Let's go.
Yeah! Let's go.
He's late!
Just what does Herbert think he's doing, calling for us like this?
What's more, I can't forgive him ridiculing the dead!
Is that really true?
Did Pinochle die in an accident?
What makes you think that?
Well...
It doesn't even matter.
All he did was talk.
He wasn't any use at all!
You would ridicule the dead too?
What does this mean?
Why are they here?
Please, this way.
I shall be your guide.
But first, all of you please put these on.
Six of them?
There's one too many.
Please put one on Mr. Yoshio as well.
Kaito...
A thank-you party for us?
Yes, that is what Mr. Herbert seeks.
That is super suspicious.
This is the location.
What is this?
This area is below the castle?
I, Ana, think this doesn't seem like a thank-you party.
Well, these things happen.
Please enjoy yourselves.
Welcome, all of you.
This party is to thank you for being icing on my cake,
waltzing in here on the eve of my victory.
First, I would like to properly gauge the ability
of he who has continually thwarted me...
Kaito Daimon.
Bastard, you're Herbert?
Still, by having you use your abilities in earnest,
I was instead made aware of my own inadequacies.
It's rather ironic.
He has two Orpheus Rings!
What?!
What's going on?
And those of you watching this on the monitor,
I give you a chance for reflection.
I am the only one to whom Mr. Klondike has
given permission for double Rings.
The difference between my power and yours will be made clear,
and just how little you have known your place
shall be driven home to you!
What are you doing, idiot?!
Just one Ring puts incredible strain on your mind!
And now, I will have you challenge a puzzle
made by the truly unique individual that is me!
You should be grateful.
Within this castle, puzzles are built into every nook and cranny.
Today, I have personally rebuilt one of these.
Just for you, yes?
Look, just hurry and take those Rings off.
It's not like more is better!
Is this the jealousy of one who does not own them?
Or have you started to grow afraid?
That ain't it!
Your only way to escape here is to solve the puzzle.
Why not just accept the challenge?
Fine, I get it.
I've gotta escape from here, right?
That is correct.
I will explain the rules.
The exit is at the opposite shore.
You may use that canoe.
However, it only seats two.
And now, I shall command you
on precepts that you absolutely must obey.
Cubik Galois, you will become God.
Huh? God?
Ana Gram, you're a devil.
Huh?
Nonoha Itou, an angel.
Gammon Sakanoue, an archdevil.
Kaito Daimon, you, bastard, are an archangel.
Wait a minute!
I'm the angel, right?
What's this with Daimoron?!
Shut up!
And as the most pure, most inept of humans...
Yoshio!
I shall now explain the divine providence that governs this puzzle.
Listen closely.
If the archdevil does not have
the archangel at its side, the angel is devoured.
And if the archangel is not at the archdevil's side,
the devil is devoured.
If the human does not receive God's protection,
he is devoured by all angels and devils.
A logic puzzle, huh?
Without the archangel, the archdevil eats the angel.
Without the archdevil, the archangel eats the devil.
And without God, all the angels and devils eat the human?
That's kind of a weird setting.
And the canoe is rigged such that
only the archangel and archdevil can pilot it.
It can take be used eight times, round-trip.
If you break the rules,
this underground cavern will instantly collapse
and you fools will all be swallowed up.
Understood.
But I have a condition of my own.
If I solve this puzzle, let me talk to Freecell one on one.
Very well.
While you're at it, perhaps you should be told
all the secrets of the Orpheus Order.
If you can make it out alive, that is.
The weight of my hatred for you,
my resolve to exact revenge...
Know full well I shall take your life for this,
Kaito Daimon.
The red eye...
If I don't finish this fast, his life could be in danger.
You're right.
Well, at least the puzzle is on the level.
Can't say much for the casting though.
S..Say, can't we just cross in order?
First, Gammon takes Ana,
then Kaito takes me...
If we do that, when we reach the opposite shore,
the archangel will eat the devil.
Kaito will eat Ana?!
You're reacting to the wrong thing!
Oh, my...
Ana, you cut it out too. Oh, my...
Well, if Kaito takes Yoshio across...
Kaito and Yoshio?!
Gammon, you'd eat me?
No!
The archdevil e..e..eats the angel,
so Nonoha, you eat me,
I mean, I, you and I...
He is our Giver.
Who knows what kind of cheap tricks he'll pull?
We can't let our guard down.
Puzzle time...
Let's begin.
So, first, the archdevil, me, will take
Ana the devil to the other side,
okay?
Yeah.
Oh, it's moving!
Make it go faster!
Yeah, that ain't possible.
There...
Bye-bye, see you again!
Don't eat Nonoha!
I..I won't...
I won't eat her!
I get it.
Right now, no one can get eaten.
Oh, so maybe...
Is it Kaito and me next?
It is, right?
Yeah, I'm getting the hang of this.
I'm pretty good, huh?
Huh?
Everything's gone fine so far, but...
That is good.
At this rate, when you reach the end...
you lose, fools.
Well, sorry for the wait.
You're up next.
Huh? What is it, Kaito?
Kaito?
What is it?
Something doesn't sit right.
Whist!
What's the meaning of this?
Why did Mr. Klondike give him another Ring?
You doubt Mr. Klondike's thinking?
Uh, no...
Then tell us this:
Is that the same Ring we have?
No.
So, Herbert was given a Replica?
Yes.
Just what is Mr. Klondike thinking?
Is the puzzle not going well?
No, everything's fine.
Then-
It's too fine.
Sure enough, at this rate, it won't even take eight trips.
Maybe they're planning some kinda trick.
What are you doing?
Hurry up and make your next move!
Kaito!
There's a strange hole over here!
Here, too!
What?
I'll send you a picture now!
That's it?
What is it?
It's...
Are these related to the puzzle?
If so, what are the holes for?
They...
That shape...
Got it.
Nonoha, is anything different about this area
from when we first arrived?
Anything different?
Come to think of it, something...
That block over there!
I don't think it was there at first.
Okay.
This, right?
I knew it.
Huh? Angel and devil?
That's right, this is probably a key to the exit.
We're movin' it, Gammon!
Yeah!
Congratulations.
You did well, noticing that key.
Excellent work, Kaito Daimon.
No, this ain't just a key.
Look!
Huh? There's more of them!
Another angel and devil each.
That means, this "key" has been given the role of one of us!
So, if we held that thing
and two of us rode the canoe, it'd all be over?
What's the idea? That's cheating!
Well, fine.
It's not over yet.
Not yet.
I don't care for this.
What a debacle.
That damn Herbert.
I can't watch this anymore.
Mr. Freecell, you're staying?
Well, Kaito is still battling.
If he wins, he'll come and see me.
Welcome!
As always, that guy makes some vicious puzzles, huh?
No, this isn't just the same old kind of trickery.
It's made so that this can be solved if you
notice it won't take eight trips,
and you assume the number of "players" will increase.
What's more, if you don't notice that by the third trip,
there's no way you'll solve it.
This is an interesting puzzle.
Good work!
Once I bring Yoshio over, we'll be finished, right?
Yeah.
It's totally dark!
At this rate, my ambition of ascending to the
top of the next Orpheus Order echelon,
of standing at the peak of the world will be...
Kaito Daimon,
for interfering with me, before whom even
God Himself would bow,
I issue this divine punishment:
The role of archangel attributed to
Kaito Daimon goes to Cubik Galois.
I give it to Cubik Galois, and instead change
Kaito Daimon's role to False God!
What?
However, as False God, you will later be given divine punishment.
Your appearance may become that of a loathsome frog.
The time limit is three minutes!
Three minutes?!
This is reckless, Kaito!
No, don't!
You're really goin'?!
Yeah, I ain't gonna lose!
There's no way he can make it in three minutes in that boat.
What does he think he's doing?
All we can do is trust him.
I will solve this.
I'll rescue Freecell from the Orpheus Order.
I'll save him!
The key has been delivered into your hands.
Abandon Kaito Daimon and you can save yourselves.
Don't insult us!
Kaito is sure to solve your puzzle, no matter how much you cheat!
"Cheat," you say?
Fools such as yourselves may think as such,
but having received power surpassing God Himself,
I am able to solve it!
All of you should ponder how to solve it
along with Kaito, in the next world!
That will enrich the way in which Kaito Daimon,
lamenting in his misery, shall die.
Above you all, far and wide...
I will reign supreme!
Is this the answer?
What?
You noticed?
I'm countin' on ya, Yoshio!
Here goes!
Go, Yoshio!
Great job!
All right, we can do it.
Damn you, Kaito Daimon!
Kaito!
Kaito?
Are you all right?
Yeah, looks like I made it somehow.
Thank goodness.
That's the double Rings at work.
We have obtained some all-new, extremely interesting data.
Kaito!
So, this goes in the keyhole?
Let's try it!
Herbert...
Kaito, what are you doing?
Back soon.
I've got something left to do.
You go on ahead!
Not yet...
It's not over yet.
I must at least resolve the hatred I hold for Kaito Daimon.
I...
That was a good puzzle.
Enough foolishness!
True, I'm kind of a foolish guy.
But when it comes to puzzles, I'm all business.
It was fun, your puzzle.
What was that?
You have a lot of puzzles still locked up inside you.
You gotta let 'em free.
You're the man who has come closest to the Phi-Brain?
I can't approach you at all.
Should I meet you again,
would you do the honor of battling me?
Of course.
In that case, I shall make a puzzle that will vex you,
make you stamp your feet in frustration.
It will be grand.
Yeah.
Is that what you thought I'd say?
The hatred I have for you won't be so easily tempered!
Hey, wait!
What am I saying, not of my own accord?!
Bastard!
"Good puzzle," my foot!
For me, a good puzzle is one that sends you straight to Hell!
No! What's going on?
That bastard!
Sure enough, it was all a trick, huh?!
Kaito, let's get out of here!
You can't escape.
I'm going to bring down this underground cavern!
What was that?!
Don't!
If it means burying you,
I'll offer myself up over and over again!
Stop it! Stop!
What am I doing?!
Kaito!
This is bad! Right now, we gotta run for it!
Kaito, go!
Farewell, Kaito Daimon!
Help me!
This is...
Kaito...
