It's here!
It's finally here!
It's the second to last battle, the Love Simulation Ge-
-mu!
"Tales of Confession"!
Biba!
Ge!
These two are going to become the heroines...
...and act out a confession of love-ge!
And the one who will decide which makes his heart skip a beat is this person!
Hi. I'm from Saitama. My name is Tadokoro.
My hobby is reading. I'm good at solving shogi problems.
When I have time off, I spend them lying around at home.
He's abnormally normal!
Doesn't seem like much of a match for Roman.
Now, without further ado, start acting!
Up first is Unyuu Mimori from the Student Council Team-ge!
Tadokoro-san...
I truly thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule.
Too stiff, way too stiff! You're being too formal, Mimorin!
Well, actually...
Tadokoro-san, you see... I wrote this for you.
I-Is this...
Will you... accept it?
*shock*
She's a frightful one...
*seething anger*
But I shall never let her steal away Tadokoro-san!
Episode 13: Pixie's Garden
With a bombshell of tender, straightforward prose,
this love letter attack has laid near total waste in its wake!
Ah... Thank... you.
I am expecting your reply to be in the affirmative!
My chest...
'Tis hard to take...
M-Melting...
W-What's wrong?
Hey Switch, what's wrong with your glasses?
What's with this aura? Shoo! Shoo!
A love letter isn't going to wipe me out, though.
I mean, I get a ton of them.
And I think you're going about this a little old-fashioned, Mimorin...
Agata, Tsubaki-chan!
Is this what they call... the springtime of youth?
Y-You don't know the half of it...
Losing yourself from something this level? That's just...
Says you when you're red as a cherry.
I have never written something like this to a gentleman before,
so I fretted over the proper contents to write.
Well, whatever the contents are, I'm not really...
I can't even fathom it.
For now, let's make it 10 million yen.
Sure...
See, figures.
A check.
Hey, Unyuu! Of all things, trying to buy love with money!
There's a limit to how far you can push the innocent rich girl angle.
Mimorin, you have to be sincere first! Show him your feelings!
Feelings?
I see. I understand now!
What's this? Unyuu is taking it back for a moment, and writing something extra!
T-This is...
10 million... plus an extra 5000 yen!
Ge! The lump sum has...
...risen due to her feelings.
Not that! That's not what I meant by feelings!
Ah! That's the signal from Tadokoro to end it!
They sure borked this one good.
Would that actually win?
Welcome back.
I was nervous!
Go take a part-time job somewhere and learn the value of the yen.
Continuing on!
The second half-biba!
Saotome Roman, for the Sket-dan Team!
Y-Yes!
Um... I could have sworn it was around here somewhere...
My new school...
Oh? Silly me!
Now that I look at it, I brought a weather map instead of a map!
Hold it, hold it, hold it!
What the heck, hell, and highwater ya doin'?
The target's that guy!
Act 1 of Love: "Encounter"!
Act? It's a series?
And wait... Encounter?
Whatever, just mix it up with Tadokoro-san!
We're counting on you, Roman!
If you win here, we're the champs with 3 victories in a row!
Prince...
Yeah.
Okay! I won't interrupt any more!
This is where you keep up the attack!
Yeah!
Resume performance!
*sweat* *sweat*
I'm such a clumsy klutz!
Just before, my mom told me to go buy some mayonnaise,
and I bought a Maltese instead!
Mustn't respond... Gotta hold it in...
I know! I'll ask that person for directions!
*thump*
It's no use... The flame isn't burning hot enough yet...
Otome Dial
What a wonderful man!
A new town! A new school!
An encounter amidst the warm summer breeze that would make even the gods tremble...
Just engage already!
Talk to Tadokoro-san!
Himeko, calm down!
Then, I'll continue with Act 2!
Who cares about 2? Skip to the confession!
How long are you gonna keep Tadokoro-san waitin'?
Act 2 of Love: Just Your Gaze...
Understood. Then, nice and speedy...
Act 3 of Love: The Quickness of Your Pace
Act 4 of Love: Love Passing Each Other By
Act 5 of Love: If the Hand Reaches Out, There is
Act 6 of Love: Sleepless Night
Act 7 of Love: If My Dream Is Mistaken
Act 8 of Love: My Dream is Mistaken!?
Act 9 of Love: Unthinkable Coincidence
Act 10 of Love: The Sunday Promise
Act 11 of Love: Touching... Fingertips
Act XX of Love: Instant, Heart, Separate
Act XX of Love: After We Say Goodbye
Act XX of Love: The Heart Throb Lovestruck War
...I'll perform the climax!
Act XXX of Love: The Time We Cannot Meet
Act XXX of Love: Run, Stephanie!
Act XXX of Love: Somewhere in That City
Act 176 of Love: Confession
This story's long!
We're finally here! The town where your mother lives, Bristol!
- Bristol -
Bristol... A port town located in southwestern England, population...
You think Tadokoro-san's mom is English?!
W-What's the matter?
It's nothing, Edward.
E-Edward?!
I think I might be done for...
Why?
I've just been through too much from Act 2 through 175...
Hey, have you guys been seeing...
Yeah... Crazy visions...
Now, go on, Edward.
Finally... Finally! You can meet your mother.
S-Stephanie!!!
Who's that?!
Stay strong, Stephanie!
It's no use... He's completely taken up in Roman's aura.
Don't go there, Tadokoro-san...
Edward, do you remember the day we first met?
You gave me directions when I was lost.
I took you home, didn't I?
How far are those two gonna take this?
I decided then... That this time, I would take you to your mother!
And...
Stephanie...
Let me say it, before it's too late...
I love you... Edward...
Stephanie!
For just a moment, the entire stadium was as one.
However...
Frankly, she's my type.
Student Council
Unyuu Mimori from the Student Council Team wins!
After getting so passionate, you sure judge superficially!
I'm sorry.
Now, now... We're just all tied up now.
True. I'm sure most of the viewers predicted
that we'd lose in the 4th round since we were up 2-1.
*sob* *sob* *sob*
It's okay, really. You really don't have to say stuff like that.
Now, it's finally time-biba!
The final battle-ge!
It's the finals for both teams-nitta!
Yeah, Nitta-san...
You realize how lame that is?
Sorry, my bad.
Right! Get out there!
You have no weakness, Bossun-dono!
Don't go dying for my sake, got it?
This is winner take all, a must-win match! But just relax and do your best.
Sure.
If he's someone you take so much interest in, perhaps he'll be a worthy opponent.
I-It's not like I'm interested in particular...
It's okay. Just kick back, relax, and watch me go to work on the simpleton.
Somehow, the President...
He is definitely in his "serious" mode.
The stage for the final game is here-biba!
Completely soundproof to allow them to concentrate on the match!
Even the player's conversation is shut out-ge!
And the game
they'll be playing
is
this here Pixie Garden!
Pixie Garden?
In Japanese, it's "Yosei no Sono".
Here are the rules!
Read 'em, read 'em, read 'em, read 'em...
How the hell could we?
Any questions?
No... Nothing in particular.
Nope.
Both of them art incredible!
So then, am I the only one who didn't get all that?
Am I?
Do not worry. I assume there will be play-by-play during the game explaining things.
I guarantee it!
Hey. Why did you enter this tournament?
To get that item someone requested? Or is it maybe...
If you know already, don't ask.
You wanted to oppose Tsubaki, is it?
It's true he's a real "get with the progra-man", but you don't have to get that riled up.
S-Shut up. He just pisses me off, he does.
He gets my goat so much, it makes my eyebrows twitch!
I bet that's the same thing Tsubaki would say if I asked him.
Like "I don't really have a reason, I just don't like him."
For complete opposites, you two sure are similar...
I don't like it, though.
Wanna bet, Fujisaki?
If you lose... Yes... How about you quit the Sket-dan?
Of course, if I lose, I'll quit the Presidency of the Student council.
I wonder what 'tis they are talking about?
Isn't it taunting before the match?
Crap, crap! Bossun's terrible in an argument!
His vocabulary is too small!
Just so you know, you don't have the right to refuse. I'm the Student Council President!
It would be child's play to find some rule infraction and force you to quit.
That little...
Why? Why would you...?
It'll be boring unless we do it for real, you know?
Oh, and if you don't, I'll destroy you, Sket-dan.
Remember this: I've got a nasty personality.
Okay, then. I'll do it!
You can do it!
Ye can do it, ye can do it, Bossun-dono!
Be kind and suck it up, Bossun!
Don't pick the Old Maid!
Prince, marry me!
I love you, Prince!
I guess he can't hear us...
And now-biba, the final match!
Start the duel-ge!
Pixie Garden is a game similar to Doubt.
You take turns discarding cards, and whoever uses up their hand first is the winner!
Let me see here...
No point in fretting over things from the start.
Here you go. Blue Star!
The other player can place cards with the same color or mark.
Blue Wind.
It's okay to lie and play a different card than you announce.
However...
Check!
Blue Wind...
Or actually a Yellow Wind.
Calling your bluff means you draw three cards as a penalty.
So he could tell it was a lie?
No... I think he was careful to keep his poker face, however...
Red Wind!
Check!
Red Flower!
Green Flower!
Blue Flower!
How about all three at once?
That one's for real.
I let it through.
Then... Blue Moon!
Check!
Sorry... It's real.
I suppose... this is it.
Yeah. The President isn't going to lose a game of wits.
Playing a guy like you, I'll always be seeing a step ahead.
Why? Because, if I recall, my IQ is around...
...200, you see.
It's a bluff! All those right calls before were just luck!
Blue Sun, Yellow Sun, Green Sun!
Go!
You lied just a little bit, yes?
Check!
He got me...
It's not luck. The bastard's calling check because he's sure of it!
Oh! Looks like the deck's out of cards.
I'll cut the cards, so wait a second.
I can't win! At this rate I can't win!
Crap... What'll I do?
Pixie...
That's right, Bossun! You've got no other choice!
Huh? What're you talking about?
Search for the Pixie!
If he can only find the Pixie, he can draw victory from the clutches of defeat!
Uh, I don't really get it... Can you explain it to me more simply?
The Pixie is like the joker in this game.
It's basically almighty and can be played at any time except for the final card.
And, if you catch your opponent the instant he plays the Pixie...
That's it! Then, in one fell swoop...
Wait... That means...
Yes... It's impossible unless he follows the cards precisely.
And if he guesses wrong, he loses instantly.
It's like a do-or-die battle!
But, Bossun can do it!
Find the Pixie!
You can do it, Prince!
Hey, just a sec.
Will you give me a little time to think?
Sure. Whatever you'd like.
Then I'll take you up on that... They're on!
So this is that "concentration mode" I've heard about...
Hey... I've been curious to ask you about...
Ask me later.
Why did you create the Sket-dan?
I'll ignore him... Gotta concentrate.
You want to save people in trouble, right? Real big of you.
A truly praiseworthy volunteer group.
But I don't know the reason why you want to help people so much.
Have something in your past?
Shut up!
You trying to mess with my mind?!
It's okay if you don't want to answer.
I'll just keep talking.
Don't listen. Gotta concentrate.
What's there in that pile are cards that I discarded.
The Pixie hasn't shown up there yet.
And I don't have it, either.
In other words, the Pixie has got to be in those three!
You have a hidden side... And Hime-chan and Specs both have times they were saved by you.
Those two's trust in you is really something.
When you say to do something, they put themselves into it full bore.
Same goes for this tournament.
It's like they're weak people with nothing better to do
than serve as extensions of you, helping people.
And it's like you've become their pillar...
But in reality, it's you that's saved...
Shut up!
I don't know what they've been talking about,
but it seems like he's just screaming "stupid, stupid!"
If he's in an argument, I wish I was there in his place!
Hey, look at the President's eyes...
They're kind of scary...
Having fun, Agata?
There's never been someone that stood up to you straight on before.
That's because you're just too...
Damn it! What do you know?
I don't know how smart you are...
But don't go talking about us like you know who we are!
Got it! I remember!
I remember the card order!
This is a Blue Sun.
Got it!
I can do it! I can do it!
Let's do this!
Sorry to keep you waiting. But thanks to it, I can see my way to victory!
Let's continue.
Start the counterattack!
Green Star, Red Star, Yellow Star!
That may pass.
Yellow Win...
Check!
All right!
Impossible! Don't tell me Fujisaki remembers all the cards he's seen...
He knows the order?
Red Sun!
Pass!
Yellow Sun, Blue Sun!
Pass.
Blue Moon, Red Moon!
The look in Bossun-dono's eyes hath changed!
Could it be?
Yeah!
Sorry I doubted you from the start!
Finally time for the climax?
Green Flower.
Here it is! That's the card!
Realized it? I'm on my last card.
I'm going to win.
Don't think it's all going to go according to your plan.
I've found the Pixie!
Oh, the tension!
What will happen to Fujisaki?
He's betting everything on finding the Pixie-ge!
If that really...
...actually is...
...the Pixie, then...
...Bossun-dono has...
...won!
Bossun!
Now, is the Pixie really there?!
Agata...
I-It can't be!
P...
It's not the Pixie!
Why? That card should, without doubt...
FYI, the real Pixie is there.
If it's here, then...
You can't mean...
Exactly. It was the very first one I played.
There's no reason to lie for the very first card...
There's no reason to play the Pixie...
You have that concentration mode thing, right?
I figured you could use that power to memorize all the cards.
That's why I played the Pixie first when you absolutely would never have guessed.
I win.
The game is over!
The winner is Agata Soujirou-biba!
Pet-pet...
You did it, President!
President!
N-No way... Bossun...
...lost?
Prince!
Why did you win like that?
I told you, remember? I've got a nasty personality.
Then the thing about your IQ being 200 was...
Just a lie. I mean, seriously, right?
It's more like 160...
The winner of the First Real-Deal Bibage Battle is Kaimei Academy's Student Council Team!
I thought that I was a pretty smart guy, all things told.
Bossun...
But I guess people like that really exist.
That's the first time I've really seen one of them... a genius.
I'm really sorry about this...
I can't believe things turned out so Yabas all because of me...
Thank you Bossun! Fujisaki Yuusuke's Farewell Party
Naw, it's not your fault, Yabasawa-san.
This happened because I lost...
The Sket-dan...
...will live on forever!
Hey. Someone named Yabasawa-san in here?
Agata!
What're you doing here?!
I'm Yabasawa...
The 3 mouth is this, right?
I'll give it to you.
So... incredibly... Yabas...
Yabasawa-san?
Are you done here yet?!
And yeah, what are you doing?
A farewell party?
B-Bossun!
Oh, that bet?
It's fine, I don't really care.
You know, I was just kind of into it, so...
Give me a frickin' break!
So, don't quit. That's an order from the Student Council.
And I can't be vetoed.
Wait!
Don't underestimate the strength of Bossun's will!
Even if I try and stop him, Bossun's gonna be like this!
Oh, in that case...
Crap! You're such a simpleton...
The tears from before were cut out in editing.
'Cause...
3 mouth!
Well, it was originally a promise to get you revved up for the game.
And I got into it myself, for the first time in a while...
It was really fun.
I bet we'll clash again over something...
I'll be looking forward to it.
Yeah, well, you're a pain in the ass!
We ain't losin' next time!
Good for you, Bossun!
Whatever.
Now then, with the Bibage Battle over...
Starting next week it's summer vacation!
I can't wait!
What are you saying, people? We don't have such a thing as summer vacation!
It's already second term?!
You're kiddin' me!
Um, I have a request, actually...
His name is Uchida Takaaki, Second Year Class C, seat number 3.
I want to be popular in my class.
Next time: Producing Uchida!
I see... A #1 contest, right?
Leave that to us!
The #1 group you can rely on:
Sket Dance!
