Original subtitles

Where is this place?

The school rooftop?

It was just night time though...

Katagiri Yuichi

Good morning everyone!

Let's get started shall we?

The second game!

Kageguchi Sugoroku! *Sugoroku is a traditional Japanese boardgame and Kageguchi means speaking ill behind someone's back*

Kageguchi Sugoroku?

Hello viewers!

Welcome to the Friend Game!

I'm the C team leader Mizuse Maria!

I know this is sudden but the second game has started!

For the sake of the viewers I'll tell you all about the C team members okay?

This guy's name is Katagiri Yuichi. He is a poor student without parents

This girl's name is Sawaragi Shiho She's the student council vice president with a strong sense of justice

This guy's name is Mikasa Tenji. He is a genius at the top of his class

This guy is the rich son of a congressman. Makoto Shibe

This girl is Kokorogi Yutori. She was bullied and loves anime

The five of them are good friends

But one day, someone among the 5 stole 20 million from the class funds

Then the Friend Game started up

20 Million!?

In the first game Kokkuri-san was played *Japanese version of the Ouija board*

Thanks to Katagiri's wit the first question was barely cleared but...

A new atmosphere was born when someone was accused of being a traitor among the five of them

Although they decided to patch things up and work together

Their friendship was on the verge of collapse

There you have it! Now it is time for the second game Kakeguchi Sugoroku to start!

Kakeguchi Sugoroku?

Is this a board game?

Is it different than your standard Sugoroku game?

In your standard Sugoroku game everyone rolls the dice

and the first person to reach the end is the winner right?

In other words it is ideal for the person to roll the numbers they want

The player with the best luck wins

But this Kageguchi Sugoroku is different!

The way to win this game is

To expose one of your friend's secrets! You're going to expose all of their juicy secrets!

Expose it! Expose it all! Throw your friend in the pits of hell and become the winner!

That's what this Kageguchi Sugoroku is!

Expose your friend's secrets and throw them in the pits of hell?

Now it is time to go over the rules!

Firstly you are going to use this Kageguchi paper!

On this paper you are going to write one hidden secret of your friends

We will then present the paper to the viewers and they will take a questionnaire on who they cannot forgive the most

And the winners and losers will be decided by those results!

Who are the viewers? We're the only people here

They're God!

There's text in the air!

Your fate in this Friend Game will be decided by the viewers!

The viewers are customers

And the customers are God right?

Are we some kind of exhibition?

The Friend Game is a business, you see?

Did you just say business?

Did you think we were some kind of charity that would help you with your debt?

Well anyway. Why don't we try it out?

For example it would go like this

Makoto Shibe is wearing a wig!

Sawagiri Shiho has athlete's foot!

Katagiri Yuichi is rich!

Kokorogi Yutori's boobies are G cups!

Mikasa Tenji

Ummm...

Wears glasses just for show!

It's now time for the first questionnaire to be taken!

Who is the most unforgivable person among them?

Answer us God!

1st place moves 5 spaces

2nd place moves 4spaces

5th place moves 1 space

In other words, the person that the viewers favor the most get to the finish line first?

Put simply, yes that is true

But with these rules, isn't the person who says the most horrible things the one who gets to the finish line first?

That's right! But there's something in store for the people who reach the goal

What?

When one person finishes the goal the prize money is 6 million yen, or 1.2 million yen per person

But the people who don't reach the goal are exempt from the final game

They are exempt from it?

In other words the people that don't reach the goal get their debts erased and are released from this game

On the flip side the people who reach the goal get the debt and proceed to the final game

We're released?

By the way, the final game is pretty difficult!

In this game it is better if you make your friends get to the goal

Expose your friend's secrets! Who will be the ones who get to the goal?

How does that sound? Isn't it a funny game?

That doesn't sound funny at all

There's no way we can throw our friends in hell!

In that case, it is okay to leave the Kageguchi paper blank

It's fine if it's blank?

What will happen then?

If everyone leaves the paper blank then the questionnaire won't be done by God and everyone only moves forward one space

Then it's fine if nobody writes anything?

Yes. It will make this last longer but everyone would be able to get to the goal together

But! If everyone gets to the goal then everyone will have to participate in the final game!

I'm fine with that!

You might be fine with that Shiho-chan but what about everyone else?

If there's a traitor among you, it would be very disadvantageous for them to leave the paper blank

It's okay!

Nobody among us would betray a friend

Manabu!

Even though this game is different than the first one, it's okay to talk to each other right?

Of course!

You can talk as much as you want!

In that case, if we have good communication with each other then there's no way we can mess up

Yep! That's true!

Yeah!

Whether or not you write on the Kageguchi paper, you have to enter into this booth one at a time

Also once you go in, you can't leave for 3 minutes okay?

Is that so nobody will know if the person did or did not write something?

Other than that, it's pretty similar to your standard Sugoroku but

There's one last thing!

It's okay if you write a lie!

As long as you don't get caught!

If we get caught what happens?

The person who gets caught will receive divine punishment!

Divine punishment?

When someone gets divine punishment they get moved to the top!

In other words, during that time the person closest to the goal will be forced to move 1 space closer to the goal

Remember that it is a big risk!

Alright! Let's get this game started shall we?

God can't wait after all!

Hurry up and start the game!

Everyone understands right?

No matter how much this guy provokes us

We need to reach the goal together!

That's the only way we can protect our friendship!

Of course!

All the teams start off this way

They act like such good friends!

Yet, there's no body who will run to the goal together!

Humans are living creatures that like to group up

When they're not together I wonder if they will follow their moral codes?

In this den of malicious gossip, I wonder how many will reach the goal together?

Second game. Kageguchi Sugoroku. 1st round

I'll go first

Let's end this game quickly okay?

Alright! I'll go next!

I'll go next

The last person will be Yuichi

I wonder if you'll have too much pressure being last?

I understand!

Yutori

It's going to be okay

Yeah!

The first round is done!

After looking at the contents, the written Kageguchi are...

Zero!

Everyone left it blank!

Alright! (Alright!)

Thank goodness!

Alright! Everyone gets to move one space forward together!

Those who stop at this space will leave their wallets at home during school

Minus 100,000 yen

What the hell is this?

You didn't tell us about this!

I did! I said that it is pretty similar to your standard Sugoroku

This is normally how you play Sugoroku right?

By the way, you guys are going to go one space at a time right?

You can stop on all 60 spaces but if you do that.

How much will your debt become?

6 million...

Now then... what will you do?

Alright! Time to announce the results for round 2!

This time the written Kageguchi are...

Zero!

Everyone's paper was blank! Everyone moves together one space!

If you stop at this space then a beautiful woman in the city buys a dolphin picture

Minus 500,000 yen

500,000 yen...

It just increased by 400,000 yen didn't it?

What's wrong everyone? You look pale!

Well.. you guys decided to do this from the start after all!

Don't be fooled by him everyone!

That's his intention after all!

I know that Shiho!

No matter what happens, I'll always do what you say

Thanks Shibe!

I believe in you after all

That's too bad!

We won't do what you guys want us to do!

I'm so happy for you!

Alright! Time to announce the results for the third round!

This time the written Kageguchi are

Somebody wrote one!

No way...

The person Sawaragi Shiho likes is Katagiri Yuichi

Why?

For real?

Sawaragi Shiho used to date Mikasa Tenji

First we will have God do the questionnaire!

That being said the only option this time is Sawaragi Shiho

Answer us God!

Of course the results would turn out this way

Only Shiho-chan will move 5 spaces

Everyone else will just move one space

Landing on this space makes you lose your wallet

Minus 500,000 yen

You thought you won the lottery but it turns out it was from last year

Minus 0 yen

Have things taken a turn for the worst?

Shiho

Was that Kageguchi just now true?

Shibe!

Now's not the time for that kind of thing

That kind of thing?

This is something important to me!

Did you know that Shiho liked you?

What the hell?

Why did you guys hide your feelings from me?

Do you guys just see me as a joke!?

Shibe!

It's disgraceful for a man to act like this! Shut up! This has nothing to do with you!

It does!

I used to be Sawaragi's boyfriend right?

I know a lot more about her than you

You little...

Stop it!

Don't speak in a way that could easily be misunderstood!

Misunderstood?

I've never told you guys this but

Me and Mikasa-kun are childhood friends!

My Dad is a police officer

and Mikasa-kun's Dad is a prosecutor

They used to be university classmates and are really good friends but

They kept in touch in the workplace as well

Well.. there's nobody else for Shiho except for Tenji-kun

Hey Dad! What are you saying?

You've been drinking too much!

Shiho-chan being my daughter... how nice!

Why are you playing along with him Dad?

My father is the type of person who doesn't listen to anybody once he makes his decision

That's why we pretended to be dating in front of our parents

3 years ago... Mikasa-kun's Dad passed away

Then Mikasa-kun changed schools

This year we met each other again in school

The reason why I kept quiet about it was because I couldn't talk about his Dad

That would cause Mikasa-kun to remember some painful memories

Besides... rather than dating we were just forced together by our Dads after all!

So that basically means that nothing happened right?

What's up with that man? Why'd you go on a rant like that?

There wasn't any kind of love involved at all Tenji!

Right, Manabu?

Isn't this a lie Kageguchi?

There's no way that they dated!

This is tricky!

If there wasn't any feelings of love between them at all, then it would have to be a lie

There wasn't any feelings of love!

We just kept up an image in front of our parents to keep them happy after all

You heard that?

I really liked you

Even now... I still love you

Tenji

I'm sorry for saying this at a time like this Shiho-chan...

But I can't stay silent any longer!

I've always held these feelings in!

Shibe!

You've always pissed me off

You were always so rash and thoughtless around her!

When I heard that you tried to forcibly kiss her...

You were hit?

By who?

It was Sawaragi-san!

He tried to kiss her!

But she stopped him dead in his tracks though

I really thought you got hit!

What the hell?

In that case you should've said it loud and clear!

I like Shiho-chan after all. There's no way I would do something like that to her!

That's why you piss me off, idiot!

What did you say? (There's no way I could've said anything!)

I knew that she liked Yuichi after all!

If I told her my feelings, it would just make her suffer!

Yet, you just go around mindless...

That's why! You wrote those things on the Kageguchi paper so you could confess to her right?

Weren't you the one who wrote that?

Don't be stupid!

There's no way I knew about you and Shiho! Don't you get it!?

How sly! You chose something that the others don't know about! That way I would seem like the most suspicious person since I was involved!

I'm not an idiot like you

I'm begging you Shibe!

Think about this a little bit and talk to me!

Alright then, smarty pants!

I'll tell you why I wrote that stuff on the Kageguchi paper!

It was jealousy right?

I want to eat that!

Me too!

Did you guys know?

It seems like Shiho likes Yuichi!

You heard a rumor that Shiho liked Yuichi

You knew that she used to date me

In order to see if it was true or not you wrote it on the Kageguchi paper!

Basically you were jealous of me and Yuichi for being special to her

All you are is a friend after all!

You bastard!

Shibe! Let it go!

For crying out loud!

Listen up! We don't know if this is all true!

The only thing that is clear is the fact that you guys like Sawaragi right?

In that case don't make her sad!

Let's put this conversation aside for right now

Until this game is over

Sorry

Are you okay Shiho-chan?

Yeah. Thanks

You like Yuichi don't you?

Yeah

Moreover, it's not just Shibe-kun but Mikasa-kun also likes you too

You're pretty incredible!

You're beautiful

You have a good body too

Men would easily fall in love with you right?

Even Yuichi too...

Yutori?

Sawaragi! Kokorogi!

There's something I want to tell you guys!

Come here please!

Okay!

It's become quite interesting huh?

Who do you think wrote that Kageguchi, Maria?

I think

That Shibe-kun is sketchy!

Just like Tenji said, he might want to know what Shiho's true feelings are!

He's from a rich family. So it would make sense if he's the one who cares about love rather than money

But...

Tenji-kun is also sketchy!

Because the two facts that were revealed are things that he knew about

If you say that then the same goes for Sawaragi

Oh.. I see...

But... well... I think that Yuichi and Yutori are in the clear though

There is a chance that they schemed this entire thing

If you say that then they all seem sketchy!

Well, no matter what the case may be

This group's most interesting part is the fact that there is a huge liar among them

They will pretend that they don't know what really happened

In other words they will be acting

How splendid

Even though someone wrote on the Kageguchi, if we just start accusing and blaming it will just tear us apart. So let's stop that

Also, I figured out a way that we can work together and beat this

A way to work together?

Is there any way we can work together in a game like this?

Yeah

Firstly, there's something that's always been on my mind since the start of the game

That is

The fact this game is not fair

It's not fair?

Compared to the first game, there is an unfair way to win this game together

We all decided to go across the board together but we ended up getting a debt of 600,000 yen

Even if we got the 6 million yen when we cleared the game it would still be unfair

Isn't that right Manabu?

Of course you are the gamemaster and we owe you a debt

There's nothing we can do but accept that

The problem is that if we try to work together in a fair way

It would be boring for the viewers to watch

The Friend Game is a business

The Friend Game has an audience

In other words, the main purpose is for them to be entertained right?

The fun part of games, whether it's sports, gambling or whatever isn't the fact that they're fair

In the end, a game where you don't know what's going to happen is the most entertaining

That's true

This time when we stopped, we landed on a neutral space

From that point we can infer that it's just like your standard Sugoroku

In that case if there is minus spaces and neutral spaces

Then that means that there has to be plus spaces as well

In order to make this game interesting, if we all decide to be fair

And trust our friends to the end and move together one space at a time then...

We'll be able to rest our debt back to zero

Not too shabby Yuichi-kun!

You noticed something like that after moving only 3 spaces

That's why

Let's trust each other and leave our Kageguchi's blank again

In the next rounds let's adjust it so we can catch up to Sawaragi

In this game if we don't work together then we can't get to the goal together

I'm all for that!

Me too!

I don't have any complaints with that

I understand!

Round 4

Alright!

I'll go first!

I left it blank

The next one is Sawaragi!

I'll leave it to you

Yeah! I understand

I left it blank!

Alright! With this, we'll definitely be okay!

Time to announce the results for round 4!

This time the written Kageguchi are

2!

Too bad!

This time there are two Kageguchi!

There are two?

Katagiri Yuichi has gone a week without bathing before!

Sawaragi! Did you.

You're wrong! It wasn't me!

Time for the second one!

Sawaragi Shiho has had plastic surgery!

Now then!

Time for God to do the questionnaire!

Answer us God!

These are the results!

In 1st place Shiho-chan moves 5 spaces

In 2nd place Katagiri moves 4 spaces

Everyone else moves one space, okay?

So you had plastic surgery Shiho-chan?

Shiho!

The plastic surgery thing is a lie right?

If it's true what would you do?

Hold on a second! Shiho-chan!

You had plastic surgery in middle school

Be quiet Mikasa-kun!

Hey Shibe!

If I really got plastic surgery what would you do?

You wouldn't love me anymore?

No! That's...

You would stop being my friend on top of that too?

Shiho-chan!

Even if you got plastic surgery, that doesn't matter

I will always be your friend

Yutori

Thanks!

But... That's how it is huh?

You had plastic surgery!

Yutori?

Huh?

Everyone is silent!

Alright! Let's continue the game!

Round 5

This time the written Kageguchi are.

What a bummer!

Somebody wrote one again

In middle school Kokorogi Yutori

Yutori did compensated dating?

That has to be a lie!

Then that means you sold your body right?

With that adult-like face of yours you can't be a virgin

Shibe!

What are you doing out of nowhere!?

Shut up!

Don't say anything!

Why Shiho-chan?

You're wrong! It wasn't me!

I didn't write that!

Believe me Yutori! (That's a lie!)

The only one who knew about that was you Shiho-chan!

Yuichi!

Can you take care of Kokorogi-san?

But...

Idiot! You just have to be by her side is all!

Yuichi

You are a really sinful man

Let's get out of here and leave her alone

Kokorogi! Are you okay?

Yuichi

Yeah?

Needed money no matter what!

You're going to get bullied if you read this disgusting shit!

During middle school

I was being bullied way more than I am now

The foundation of economics is.

My teacher didn't help me!

There was only one way to stop the bullying

It was to give them money!

Hey guys!

Don't bully her anymore!

She's our precious friend after all!

Whenever I gave money to them they would laugh at me

They became nice to me!

Money was the only thing that protected me

But... my money ran out fast

Kokorogi Yutori-chan?

Yes!

At first it was just dates

Are you interested in cosplay?

I just want to take a picture of you is all!

I'll give you the money after all

Next I was asked to cosplay

That's good!

Look over here!

He told me that he would only take pictures!

And then... and then...

He told me he wanted to touch me!

I want to touch you!

And then you...

No it's okay!

I got scared and ran away!

It's the truth!

We can't believe that Yutori-chan!

It's the truth!

I'm

I'm still a virgin Yuichi!

Believe me!

If even you left me...

I'd be all alone!

Kokorogi

It's not about believing or not believing

No matter what state you are in, I'll never let you go

Yuichi

I'm sorry for saying something weird like that

But by doing that, will you believe I'll never let you go a little more?

Yeah!

Are you going to do it?

Yeah!

If you're together with me

Okay. I understand

But... Even if it's only for a short time.

I don't want to be anywhere near Shiho-chan!

I told you it's not me didn't I!? (Shiho!)

That might be the case! I want it to be but.

It's impossible right now!

Even if it's just for a little bit.

I don't want to be near Shiho-chan!

I really

It can't be helped

But it wasn't me...

Let's go for now

Did you know that she was a victim?

Yeah

But that's not the full story though.

You're my friend who gives me money right?

Hey!

What are you doing?

What's up with you?

I'm this girl's friend

Shiho-chan!

Her friend?

Don't make me laugh!

You have no clue about the things she's done!

This girl will do anything for money!

But more importantly... You're pretty cute aren't you?

Yutori! Let's go!

And so... In middle school...

I did compensated dating...

I see

Thanks for telling me

It's okay

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone

The person who exposed her secret wasn't me

I might be the only person she has told directly though

I believe you

Mikasa-kun...

Thanks for believing me

That's a given!

I'm the person who knows you the most after all. I'm your childhood friend

Umm...

This is going to sound pretty evil but

I think Kokorogi-san wrote her secret down because she has no confidence in herself

No way...

Why do you say that?

I don't want to believe it!

Something is very strange around here

You may not have noticed but.

Kokorogi-san likes Yuichi

But she found out that you like Yuichi in this game

Because she has no confidence in herself she wants to make everyone else look bad, so she can win over Yuichi

She exposed her secret so she could gain sympathy from Yuichi

And so she made it seem like you wrote it, so that way Yuichi would think poorly of you

No

Aren't you over-thinking it?

That might be the case

I might be over-thinking it

But Yuichi is a nice guy with a pure heart right?

If a girl is suffering like that... I don't think he could ignore her

Hey, hey

It's fine to chat but... how about we continue the game?

Round 6

Who's going to go in first?

Tenji!

Sorry, but can you go in first?

Okay

I understand

You can see all kinds of lies everywhere

There's someone there

Someone there?

In this group there's someone who is trying to destroy people's friendship on purpose

I'm done!

Enough is enough Sawaragi!

Yuichi

I'm sorry. But right now you are in the wrong!

There's no way Kokorogi-san would write something like that because she has no confidence!

Firstly, there's no reason to do something like that!

You don't get it Yuichi!

In order to get what they want, women will do anything! No matter how unfair it is!

Isn't that right Yutori?

That's true!

Like a certain someone, there's people who get plastic surgery to make themselves beautiful!

I see how it is... Well, I got something to say about that!

I didn't want to remember it, so I didn't talk about it

I didn't get plastic surgery to make myself beautiful!

Back then a lot of things happened

I did it to get rid of a horrible injury on my face

Is that what happened?

Yutori

If you're not going to believe me then do what you want!

But you know what?

But if you are going to attack me like this then...

I'm not going to be your friend anymore okay?

I'm fine with that!

If I'm accepted by Yuichi

Hey Yuichi

You promised me that if anything happens you'll believe me right?

Yeah

Yuichi

Sorry Shiho-chan! It's my fault for going out of my bounds!

No, you're wrong

I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding at first but

Yutori wouldn't listen to a word I said and just cut me off

I brought all of this upon myself

Shiho-chan

Just like Yuichi believes in Kokorogi with all his heart

No matter what happens I'll always believe in you

Yeah

I might not be able to be a replacement for Yuichi though

That's not true!

Thanks a lot

So?

Who's going to be next?

Ill go

Everyone submitted their answers right? So, let's announce the results right away!

This time the written Kageguchi are

2!

This time, there's two of them!

The first one is.

Sawaragi Shiho normally wears men's boxers underwear!

Yutori

Shiho-chan!

And

The second one is

Mikasa Tenji lies about his age!

Is this true?

Lying is a bad way of putting it but.

But it's true. I'm a year older than you guys

After I finished middle school

I went into a different high school

But a lot happened

I had to drop out of school for a year

And that's why I'm in this high school right now

Sorry!

I didn't mean to keep it a secret but I had no reason to mention it

No

It's not something you have to apologize for

But I'm a little surprised

I thought that the only person who knew about this was my childhood friend Shiho-chan after all

It was Shiho-chan again huh?

It wasn't me Tenji!

Sorry

I didn't have any intention to distrust you

I said it didn't I?

I believe in you

Tenji-san...

Now then! It's time for God to do the questionnaire!

Answer us God!

Special chance

In the space that Shiho-chan stopped in, she has a special chance!

Special chance?

The people who are stopped in this space can nominate anybody in the group including themselves

The nominated people

We of the Friend Game will investigate them and expose one of their big secrets!

Then God will take a questionnaire on whether or not they can forgive the person

The results will determine how many spaces the person has to move

In other words, this is a special chance to really screw someone over!

So... Who will you choose Shiho-chan? What about the cheeky Yutori-chan?

Or is it the one who was appalled by the plastic surgery, Shibe-kun?

Aren't you curious about Yuichi's secret too? He's the one you love!

Of course you are free to choose yourself too

Don't forget you can also choose the person you trust the most Tenji-kun

He's a trustworthy person, therefore there is a big chance that there's nothing sketchy about him

There's no way we'd find a big secret right?

Tenji-san

That's true

Please choose me Shiho!

Why?

This entire time I've been silent, I've been thinking about things

I've been reflecting about why I've done such terrible things to you guys

This might not at one for my sins but.

I still want to be friends with you guys

Shibe...

Besides I have confidence!

I don't have anything to hide or worry about

Is this really okay?

Of course!

Don't hold back!

Thanks!

Then I'll

Choose Shibe!

Okay!

Now then! Is there really nothing sketchy about Shibe-kun?

Like I said! There's nothing!

Too bad!

There was!

Dad!?

That's right!

This guy is Shoichi Shibe! Your congressman father!

We found all kinds of scandals with women!

He misuses his power and sexually harasses them

He takes all kinds of bribes

He demands money from his coworkers

By the way, he's paying a lot of money to hide a big scandal right now

Well... in other words.

Shibe-kun's father is basically human scum!

No way...

I'm sorry Shibe!

But, it's okay!

You don't have to take responsibility for your parents actions and apologize for them!

Shiho...

Get away from Shibe!

Tenji-san?

Hey Shibe

Is your father being evil all there is to it?

What do you mean?

I mean exactly what Is aid!

I mean, it's strange!

Would anyone normally volunteer for this kind of thing?

No matter how respectable a person is, there is always the feeling of doing something bad but having no recollection of it

That's why me and Yuichi wouldn't want to enter it!

Yet, you volunteered for it!

Are you using your father's money to erase all the evil things you have done?

What are you saying?

That's why you volunteered with such confidence!

There's no way that's true!

Tenji-san! Isn't that going too far?

Shiho-chan...

He just wants to feel self satisfaction in front of everyone

He's probably only okay with you because he found out that your face wasn't changed by plastic surgery

That's...

Besides...

I've always questioned him

How can ordinary students like us have a debt of 20 million yen?

Manabu said this right?

Right now, his father is using a lot of money to hide a big scandal right?

So in other words, doesn't that have something to do with you?

In that case, we could have been thrown into this game because of you!

You're wrong!

Shibe-kun did that?

Shibe...

Hold on a second! Yuichi, Yutori!

Shiho-chan! Let's stay away from him and think about this for a little but okay?

Shibe...

Shiho!

Please wait a second everyone!

Listen... listen to what I have to say!

Why?

Why did it turn out like this?

Round 7

Time to announce the results for round 7!

This time the written Kageguchi are.

There was only 1 this time?

What a bummer!

Sawaragi Shiho has rejected over 20 men in the past

It wasn't me!

No way... Don't tell me that guy wrote that so he wouldn't be at the top

This is...

No way!

A traitor's motive is...

In the second game even though everyone is moving forward and trying to make the debt zero

There is the chance to expose dark secrets There is a high possibility their motive isn't money

The traitor's true purpose is

To throw Sawaragi Shiho in hell!

When I think about that, the things that have happened in the Kokkuri-san game and this game can all be explained

Round 19

There's still a chance

Don't throw away your hopes

Okay

Just as I thought

It turned out the way I thought it would. There's only 5 spaces until Sawaragi reaches the goal

In other words

At this rate Sawaragi will reach the goal first

And everyone is exempt from the final game expect for Shiho

It seems like C team is hopeless

This time the written Kageguchi are.

2!

This time there were 2 Kageguchi

The first one is

Sawaragi Shi housed to financially support a man in the past

I didn't do that!

I didn't do that kind of thing!

Calm down Shiho-chan

And the other one is.

Makoto Shibe has killed someone in the past

Are you for real Shibe-kun?

If this is true then you're in trouble!

The big scandal that your father was covering up was

No way.

There's no way that's true!

This has to be a lie! Right Manabu?

This Kageguchi is a lie!

Give divine punishment to the one who wrote it please!

Was it a lie?

Of course it is!

Then if this is a lie

Prove it to me!

Prove it?

I can say with confidence that I didn't do it!

Idiot! Anyone can say that!

What did you say?

Then... then what should I do?

My criminal record

See if I have a criminal record!

You'll be able to tell from that right?

But... you might have asked your father to cover up your crimes

I wonder if you having no criminal records would count as proof?

No way...

Alright!

In times of need, we look to God!

We'll have God take a questionnaire to see if they trust Shibe-kun or not

If 50% of them believe you.

We'll investigate you!

Alright it's appeal time! It's time for God to appeal you

I didn't do it!

Please believe me God!

I mean...

I don't have a single reason to kill anyone!

I've lived an honest life and have never done anything like that!

Besides.. I'm from a rich family!

There's no way a rich person like me would kill anyone!

I'm begging!

Too bad!

That was dangerous Shiho-chan!

If it wasn't for Shibe-kun, you would have reached the goal!

Your precious neck has been saved. Although, it's only a matter of time

This is the end for C team

That's true

No matter what Kageguchi is written

Sawaragi Shiho is one space away from the goal. Nobody can catch up to her

Even if they all left it blank, they would all have to move one space

In this second game

It has been decided that Sawagiri Shiho will reach the goal by herself

Katagiri Yuichi...

Is this cost too great for him?

Maria! Rewind this video back to the beginning!

Hurry!

Okay

This kind of thing...

Something actually escaped from my sight

This game is not over yet

We...

Might have let a terrible person enter this game

It's okay Shibe!

There's no way you could kill a person!

I believe in you

Yuichi

Hey!

I have a proposal!

I thought of a way the traitor can protect themselves

Really Yuichi?

Yeah

I can say it with certainty

Do you remember the divine punishment?

The person who writes a lie Kageguchi gets punished and sent to the top, right?

It's okay to write a lie!

As long as you don't get caught!

What will happen if we get caught?

They will receive divine punishment!

At that time the person closest to the goal is forced to move one space

That's right!

If they use that divine punishment rule

Only the person who the traitor chooses has to move a lot of spaces

In the next and last Kageguchi round

Everyone should write the same Kageguchi

The same one?

There's probably only one person in this group who won't be affected

And that one person is the traitor!

Does that kind of Kageguchi exist?

Something that wouldn't affect the traitor only?

There is!

If everyone writes the same thing

Write your own name down along with something that may or may not affect yourself

In the first place

The only thing the traitor can think about in this game is destroying our friendship

In other words

We would have to write something that would only apply to the traitor

That's true

That's why if everyone wrote down their own name

Everyone should write "I'm the traitor"

If the statement is true then they won't receive the divine punishment

But everyone else who wrote a lie would get the divine punishment

In the end, every member but the traitor will move one space in front of Sawaragi. They will get to the goal

I see...

That's why you chose this moment when Sawaragi is almost at the goal

But... how are we going to prove it's a lie?

We might end up just like Shibe and not get the divine punishment

It's okay

There's no need to prove if it's a lie with this method

I mean.. there's a person who caused us to enter the game

They are hiding that fact from us

Isn't that right Manabu?

Might be.

See?

That's why if everyone just writes this Kageguchi, their fate will be decided automatically

I see

Well.

I wanted to get to the goal together with everyone though

But I thought it would be-better to expose the traitor and clear the second game

And then...

The people remaining will be our true friends. We can fight together in the third game with them

Alright! It's decided then

We'll start with Tenji, the person that Sawaragi trusts the most

Go first!

Yeah. I understand

I'll be the first one to write it

Alright!

I'll go last

Alright! It's time to announce the results for the last round!

This time the written Kageguchi are

Everyone but...

Everyone else left it blank!

What's written inside is

I volunteered myself for the Friend Game

Mikasa Tenji

Why?

Why didn't anyone else write a Kageguchi!?

What?

Why are you guys looking at me like that?

Tenji

I said it didn't I?

I thought of a way for the traitor to protect themselves

Yet I...

No that's...

You're wrong!

Hey everyone!

Please

Listen to what I have to say!

Don't cry Tenji

Yuichi

If you have a reason for doing this then you can tell us afterwards

That's why...

Right now just answer yes and no to this simple question. If it's false then you will get divine punishment!

Tenji

Were you the one who got us into the Friend Game?

Yes

I volunteered myself for the Friend Game

Hey everyone! Did everyone give me the funds for the trip?

Hey everyone! Right now I'm trying to solve this math problem with all of my mind!

Nobody asked you!

That has nothing to do with anyone, idiot!

Hey shut up! Let me say what I want!

How did you open the locker?

I made sure to lock it!

I've...

Always been watching you in order to know everything about you

I've been monitoring you

My Dad told me to give this to you

Thanks

He told me you should put it on your bag

Okay!

And so... In middle school...

I did compensated dating

It's okay

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone

That's why I knew where you kept the spare key

I knew all about Kokorogi's secret

The first and second Kageguchi and the one after that.

All of them except for Shibe being a murderer, were all written by me

Senpai... how did he do it?

Did Katagiri Yuichi realize that Mikasa Tenji was a traitor?

Well.. just take a look

Seems like he's about to reveal how he did it

Hey Yuichi

What the hell did you do?

How did you know it was me?

Firstly, from the start of the game I had a feeling that there was a traitor I decided I would expose them in this game by setting traps for them

Set traps for them?

And in the third round some big secrets popped up in the Kageguchi

When I was telling everyone about working together

I gave Sawaragi special instructions so she wouldn't be caught by everyone

Special instructions so she wouldn't be caught?

At that time everyone was together!

There wasn't any time for you two to have a long conversation!

That's true

That's why... I used this Kageguchi paper

This was Katagiri Yuichi's first trap

Take a good look at the video

He's holding a pen!

There's only one reason why he was holding the pen yet he submitted his Kageguchi as blank

That's because he used the Kageguchi paper for a different purpose

I left it blank

Next is Sawaragi

I'll leave it to you

Okay

I understand

I see

You used the Kageguchi paper huh?

But you did pretty good to get even Shiho-chan to trust you

Although she was the first person to write the Kageguchi

There was the possibility that she could have been the traitor

Of course

I didn't believe her right away

That's why I tested her

Tested her?

The special instructions that I wrote on the first Kageguchi

Was when her and I had a private conversation on the school rooftop we told our secrets

What do you want?

I thought about being friends with you

Are you okay with this?

I'm a guy who hasn't taken a bath in 1 week

Is that true?

If she wrote down that secret

Then the traitor would write a different one in the same round

The one who wrote about her having plastic surgery wasn't her

That's why there was another big secret that time?

And that's when I finally decided to be allies with Sawaragil

And after Sawaragi, I was going to see if Kokorogi was the traitor or not

Hold on a second

Don't tell me... that's how you checked to see who was the traitor? By testing each person?

That's right

This was the best way I could find the traitor

Kokorogi

It's not about believing or not believing

Yuichi

In order for us to not get caught, pretend to hug me and read this paper

Whether or not she wrote what was on the paper would determine if she was Sawaragi's ally

That's why in order to trick the traitor she would pretend to be on bad terms with Sawaragi

And then

"I want you to write down one of Sawaragi's big secrets that nobody knows about in the next round" is what I wrote on the paper

When she was hugging you, she read it?

The big secret that she wrote down was about Sawaragi's underwear

Yutori

It wasn't me!

This was proof that Kokorogi was in the clear

There was also the secret that you lied about your age too right?

That's true. I'm a year older than you

The person who wrote that was Shibe

Why was that? It's because I left the paper blank again and I gave Sawaragi another Kageguchi with special instructions for us not to get caught

That's absurd!

At that time I was always close to Shiho-chan after all!

There shouldn't have been any time to give her the Kageguchi paper!

There was! We only had 3 minutes to make this work

No way...

But at that time Shibe was far away and silent so you weren't paying much attention to him anyways

I'm done!

Enough is enough Sawaragi!

This was the second trap he set

In this game it shouldn't matter what order people go in the box

But Katagiri Yuichi prepared everything, taking full advantage of the order people would go in the box

The only people left were Shibe and you. But it was pretty simple

I used the Special chance!

Impossible to keep any secrets during the special chance right? It would be impossible for the traitor to enter that

Such as his father covering up crimes

In the end, the only person left is you Tenji

You figured it out so fast though

Why didn't you declare that I was the traitor?

If I exposed you as the traitor then you would fly into a rage and expose some really bad secrets. It would be troublesome!

That's why I intentionally waited until the very last second

In the last round, I would make you write down a Kageguchi and everyone else would leave it blank

I want you to answer me one last thing

How did you get everyone else to believe you?

He didn't really have any reason for you guys to trust him. No matter how much you like him it would be impossible to just believe him like that!

You didn't notice something strange about me?

Something strange?

This was his final trap

Your name plate...

That's right

There's something right?

There's something that you can trade as a sign of friendship

If they wrote the Kagaeguchi with me then I would give them my nameplate

I'll give them something important of mine and in return they would believe me

I left it blank. Next is Sawaragi

I'll leave it to you!

Will you believe me?

I'll give you my name plate

I'm sorry for saying something weird. But with this, won't you believe that I'll never let you go a little bit more?

Yeah

Maria

What is the first thing a swindler needs in order to trick the other party?

That's...

The first thing they need to do is make the other person believe them

In order to do that what is the easiest method?

It's to give them something valuable like money

He didn't just give them his name plate so they would believe him

He gave them his name plate so they would listen to him and do what he said

He's good with women after all

He knew that they wouldn't turn him down

He totally gained their trust and made it so they couldn't refuse him

If they refused to partner up with him then that would make them the traitor

He even calculated that part as well

That's right

This guy used very backhanded methods in order to mess with the psychology of normal people

This is very comparable to the mindset of an evil swindler

The way that he manipulates and swindles people is the embodiment of evil

Well... to be honest this was a huge gamble for me but

If they just took my name plate it wouldn't increase our debt

I told them to not look at the amount of money behind the name tag

The way to work together in the Friend Game is to not doubt your friends

No way...

Was the fight between Shiho-chan and Kokorogian an act?

Shiho-chan!

Tenji-san...

Why?

Why did you do this kind of thing?

That's because

I wanted to completely destroy your relationships with other people!

Why?

Hey hey

I'm sorry for interrupting you guys at a good part but could we continue the game?

Hey guys...

It's fine that you found the traitor but

The fact that God will take a questionnaire and Shiho-chan will get to the goal by herself won't change

I see

There's something that still needs to be done huh?

Manabu! Can I see you for a sec?

Find out if what he said was true!

Yes!

Why do I want to do this?

It's the best way for nobody to get hurt

This is...

What he said was true

This is sudden... but before God takes the questionnaire, how about we play a game?

2nd game Kageguchi Sugoroku game clear

Katagiri Yuichi is going to clear the second game Kageguchi Sogoroku by himself!

Yuichi is going to the goal by himself?

What.

What's the meaning of this?

Yuichi-kun himself said that the Kageguchi he submitted in the third round was a lie

The Kageguchi he submitted in the third round was a lie?

Yuichi

How is this the best method?

No, this is fine

This the best choice

It's going to be only you...

What about Tenji?

This guy betrayed us!

Are you going to forgive him?

That's true

I'm interested in why he did this

But anyways... please hear me out

It's up to you guys whether you forgive me or not

Besides, I have no right to condemn Tenji

What do you mean?

I hid something terrible from you guys

I've always been hiding it from you guys

If you guys found out, you wouldn't be friends with me anymore after all

I'm the worst traitorous bastard What Tenji did is nothing compared to what I've done

What did you do?

What are you hiding from us?

In the third round I wrote a lie Kageguchi

That lie was

In the past Makoto Shibe killed someone

That was a secret I didn't write

Was Yuichi the one who wrote that?

You see

In reality

It was really me

The person who was hiding their murder crime

You did that?

You're a murderer?

That has to be a lie...

No but.

That's something you would get divine punishment for

It has to be some kind of accident!

It wasn't an accident!

Yuichi-kun intentionally murdered them. Moreover, he killed 3 people!

3 people?

You sure are an idiot Yuichi-kun!

Clearing the game and going to the goal by yourself

Is that bad?

I said it didn't I? The final game is hell! It's going to be impossible for you to clear it on your own!

You might just want to be a hero though.

You're definitely going to regret it!

I wonder who will really regret this?

What? What do you mean?

Friends to me were stoppers for my past life

Stopper?

I didn't want them to know the true me and my past after all

But in this second game my stoppers are going to disappear

Basically

The true me would be unleashed

I meant to play along with your little game

Be prepared

So scary! So scary!

If you make such a scary face like that then everyone is going to be terrified of you

The murderer Yuichi-kun!

Well... that's how it is

Is everyone okay with this?

Yuichi-kun is going to disappear!

The final game is hell!

Moreover... If one person goes then they have no chance to clear it!

Don't you have any words to support him as he goes to that scary place?

Huh? It seems like nobody is going to say anything

Nobody can be friends with a murderer after all!

No

This is my purification

You guys forget about me too!

I will also forget about you guys!

Hold on a second!

There's no way I can let Yuichi go by himself!

Manabu

I also said a lie in this game as well

So please give me divine punishment as well

What are you saying all of the sudden?

I wrote a Kageguchi about how I dated Shiho-chan right?

I said that I had feelings of love for her right?

You did say that

That was a lie

I had absolutely no feelings of love for Shiho-chan at all!

What do you mean?

The reason why I wanted to destroy your guy's friendship was.

Because I wanted to win over someone's heart

Someone?

The person I really love is

Yuichi!

I've always liked Yuichi

I wanted to win over his heart and do this and that

Hey! Hey! Don't say such weird crap that makes me cringe!

You just made that up so you can get to the goal right?

I understand. I'll prove it to you then

Hey Yuichi

Is this your first time?

What is?

This is my first time

So I don't really know much about it

Just hold onto my glasses for now

Ok! You proved that it was a lie!

You guys... can go to the final game!

Let's go Yuichi. If it's you and me, we can put up a hell of a fight in the final game

2nd game Kageguchi Sugoroku cleared. Winning prize is 6 million yen

Yuichi!

Are you okay Yuichi?

You're sweating a ton!

Tenji

Hey...

I don't swing that way!

That was something I just had to do in order to go with you!

I'm normal

That's right! It was just an act!

Of course!

Where are we?

I don't know

This is the place I just woke up in too

I see

Hey Yuichi

You probably can't trust me at all but

Can you please hear me out?

Why did I betray everyone?

Why am I a year older than everyone?

What happened this past year?

Yeah

You know what Yuichi?

This is my second Friend Game

Your second one?

Everything was because of Shiho-chan

It is all Sawaragi Shiho's fault

It was Sawaragi's fault?

That girl... took away the most precious thing to me

Are these guys from a different team?

They're men?

I'm not interested!

Did you guys happen to see anything?

We're looking for Manabu-san. Have you seen him?

Hey Manabu! Show yourself!

The basketball team?

Yeah

So our friendship is different than yours

So? Why are you guys in the Friend Game?

Captain! It's better if you don't get into the details with this guy

These two can very well be our opponents in the future

There you have it

Hey! Look!

Go one kilometer this way

Is he trying to kill us before we get there?

Manabu house

You guys finally made it!

Don't bullshit us you bastard!

How was it?

Did you have a good hike?

You saw some good scenery didn't you?

There wasn't any scenery like that

There's a lot of things hidden from the eye here. It's a good place isn't it?

Hidden?

Alright then let's start! The final game is a competition between Team C and Team K!

The name of the game is "Yujou Kakurenbo" *Friendship hide and seek*

Yujou Kakurenbo?
