Original subtitles

Give me your cards.

I told you to GIVE ME your cards!!

This...

isn't like you at all, Mr. Akiyama.

This is the real me!!

Nao Kanzaki.

I wonder how many times

I've watched her cry.

Oh, she's crying.

Is it that hard for you to watch this?

I came to report the halfway results to you.

After Cain had murdered his brother Abel,

God asked him about the whereabouts of his brother, and he answered:

"I know not."

"Am I my brother's keeper?"

This is said to be the first lie of mankind.

Several thousand years since then,

the nature of man hasn't changed at all.

Wouldn't you agree?

I'm surprised.

I didn't think you believed in God.

It's just a comparison.

Report.

Yes.

Third round, the current amount for the standing results of the 15th stage is,

The Fire County, 2,825,000,000 yen.

The Water County, 2,175,000,000 yen.

The Fire County is in lead at 650,000,000 yen.

That's quite a gap.

Well.

I guess that just shows the natural flow of things.

And...

What about that girl?

That... girl?

Do you mean Nao Kanzaki?

She's such a mysterious girl.

That face she had when I first saw her,

I can still remember it vividly.

I wonder

How many more times I'll be able to walk with you like this.

Dad, quit saying weird things like that.

We'll be able to do this forever.

Because you look much better than last week.

Eventually you'll become healthy.

Yes.

Are you ok?

I'm sorry!

Careful!

Forget it.

No, wait.

I almost have it.

Besides, a penny saved

is a dollar earned, you know?

Got it!

Here!

Bye bye!

At that moment...

Why did she capture my attention...

At first, I didn't understand the reason.

However,

After seeing her many times since then,

I have finally found the answer.

Which is?

She looked so

dangerously pure.

It's impossible for someone living in this world

to remain as pure as her.

Do you mean

that it's all an act by Nao Kanzaki?

Everybody....

reveals their weaknesses to a weak person.

No matter how they try to disguise themselves as good people,

they are all the same.

Just like that painting, right?

Yes.

What kind of faces are hidden under those masks...

You're the same, aren't you?

That's why you suggested to have her participate

in this entertaining game.

Yes.

In the beginning, that had been my intention.

But...

You can't be serious!

Have her participate in the game?

I'm not asking for your opinion.

But you read these documents, right?!

This girl Nao Kanzaki, she's truly stupidly honest you know.

When she receives too much change she goes all the way back to return it,

and she still raises her hand when she crosses the streets.

If you put a girl like her into the game, the result is already clear.

This is his order.

Really?

What the...

What in the world is he thinking...

Three years ago when you were banished from the central office, it was by his grace

that you were brought into this association.

If you were to refuse his orders...

I know.

I know.

This is where it all began.

Nao Kanzaki?

LGT Office?

What could it be?

Allow me to introduce myself,

Miss Kanzaki Nao.

I am the dealer, Leronira.

I am now going to explain the rules of the first round of the "Liar Game".

The rules are very simple.

In this game, both opponents must try to rob each other's money.

It does not matter how you accomplish this.

As this game is based on mutual consent,

taking your opponent's money

is not considered a criminal act.

After the game has ended, the LGT Office

will send someone to retrieve the money.

We will retrieve the complete sum handed out in the beginning,

that is, 100 million yen.

If you succeed in obtaining any money from your opponent,

This sum will become your prize money.

This means, you can earn a maximum of 100 million yen.

If you have lost any money to your opponent,

you are to compensate for the missing sum - even if you have to make a loan.

Compensate?

That is to say,

if you happen to lose,

the highest possible amount of compensation

is 100 million yen.

I wish you a successful fight.

A loan...

100 million yen?

My opponent...

It was a fortunate coincidence.

My opponent was Mr. Fujisawa,

my teacher from middle school, whom I adored back then.

Oh, I'm relieved to hear that it was you who got chosen.

I was relieved, too.

If somebody else were to be my opponent...

Your opponent?

You... all that stuff those guys were saying,

about taking away the other's money, and being opponents, those rules,

did you actually believe that?

So it's not like that?

Not at all!

You know, this is nothing but a cleverly-designed fraud.

That's... terrible...

I probably would have fallen for that...

Now...

We must hurry and hide the money where it is safe!

There's no way to tell when they'll come to steal the money.

I... I brought the money with me!

I was too scared to leave it at home...

That's right...

It's too dangerous to leave it unattended for even a second.

But... what should I do with this money from now on?

Ah, I know...

How about renting a deposit box at the bank?

Then they won't be able to get at the money

for the whole 30 days.

Then it's safe, right?

Yeah...

But...

I see... you're worried about the paperwork, aren't you?

It's going to be alright!

I'll take care of your share as well, alright?

In a situation like this, we need to help each other.

Right?

Right... thank you very much!!!

Please take care of it, will you?

What's this... about?

About the money you lent me...

You'll have it back in a month from now...

Yeah...

Well, you know,

there's that former pupil of mine,

a little smile and some sweet talking,

That's all it took from me to deceive her.

No worries,

she would fall for anything I tell her.

Yeah, indeed,

too honest for her own good.

Well, I don't think that this is enough to make an incident...

At least it's not something where the police could take action.

But I... I was deceived.

Doesn't this count as fraud?

I don't know...

It's difficult to put up such a case for prosecution at court,

there are different opinions even amongst law experts.

Maybe it's best to ask a swindler for his opinion, you know?

Ask... a swindler?

Huh?

That's right!

Listen...

I shouldn't really be telling you this, but...

You know, tomorrow...

a swindler will be...

released from prison.

He got caught 3 years ago... and he's said to be a genius.

A genius...

...swindler?

Found him!

Just like you told me to, I found some bait to attract Akiyama's attention.

She's no doubt a bait he'll bite.

However, that's about all I can do for the Office.

You know I can't make sure he gets through the game alive.

With his skills,

he will.

As you wish.

More importantly, Mr. Yokoya,

Don't forget to pay me please.

I mean, I'm taking a huge risk

hiding behind the boss' back just for you.

No need to worry.

I'll keep my promise.

So, what's the name of this girl?

Kanzaki Nao...

I trusted that teacher...

and he puts a 100 million debt on me...

100 million...

Who says you'll have to bear that debt?

I don't need that kind of false comfort...

I lost.

The money rests in a safe at the bank.

I can't get it back from there...

That's nonsense.

There's a flaw.

A flaw?

I'll take half of the money as my reward.

50 million yen.

If you are ready...

to take away all of the money from Fujisawa,

I'll help you.

Mr. Fujisawa, I came to tell you...

I'm participating in the "Liar Game" for real!

And...

as for the 200 million yen you have...

I'm going to take all of it!

Wh... what?

You only need to do two things:

First, you need to clearly tell him of your intent to play.

And second,

keep him under observation all the time.

Damn!

15 days left...

How's he going to do it?

By force...?

Or is he going to take the safe away...?

If you think you can do it, then come and get it!

I'll meet you face to face!

How's that!?

Do you think I'm just gonna let you take it away?

Just so you know, the money is mine!

As if I'd let you have the money.

The 100 million belongs to me.

Alright!

What's he doing now?

No matter what he tries, it's useless.

Tomorrow...

at 5:00 p.m...

We're going to lose like this!

We're losing!

Mr. Akiyama!

I'm begging you!

Please open the door!

Mr. Fujisawa!

I beg you!

I knew it!

Open my safe?

It just had to be a bluff!

Mr. Fujisawa...

I'm asking you!

Please return my 100 million yen!

I beg you!

Please help me!

I don't care!

Mr. Fujisawa!

I beg you!!

5..

4..

3..

2..

1..

It's time!

5 o'clock! It's 5!

5 o'clock!!

The game's over!

Mr. Fujisawa...

LGT Office

No...

5 o'clock!

I did it!

Here's 200 million...

How's that?

It's all of it, the whole amount.

Please allow me to verify this.

Ah, of course.

Umm... how long is it going to take you to verify the sum?

Ah, I'm sorry...

I don't mean to rush you...

Please take all the time you need.

Please do your work.

Who's that now?

At a time like this...

Who are you?

We belong to the Liar Game Office.

The game has ended,

so we came to retrieve the money.

Ah, you too?

Oh, of course, I see.

It's too hard to do it all alone, isn't it?

Huh?

There's already one of you in there...

What are you talking about?

The three of us...

are the only ones taking charge of this game.

Huh? Now you're kidding me.

He's already inside...

Y... you...

You win.

Wa, wait a moment!

This is...

You lost, Fujisawa.

You did quite a good job,

but you messed up at the very last moment.

I messed up?

The man who just left was working for me. He's a fake.

Those three over there are the real dealers.

Miss Nao Kanzaki.

Congratulations on your victory.

Please let us verify the amount of money in your hands.

No!

This is invalid!

It's got to be!

That guy...

He stole my 200 million after the game had ended!

And about you...

It's got to be your fault

if you're too late to retrieve the money.

If you had appeared in time, none of this would have happened.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean?

We arrived here just as it was announced to you.

What are you talking about?

Idiots!

Look at this!

You see this?

It says "5 o'clock" right here!

You messed up the time, that's it!

Idiots!

Fujisawa.

What do you want? Shut up!

Is this...

what you were looking at?

Huh?

Of course.

Here,

Look at this!

It's all in here.

"We will send somebody to retrieve the money...

...at 6 o'clock."

6 o'clock...

This... why...

6 o'clock...

The one with 6 o'clock on it is the original.

How did you...

It had been in your mailbox...

from a week ago.

A week?

I never intended to use violence to get the money.

I only had one goal in mind.

The moment of retrieval.

What interested me from the start was but one thing.

The method the Secretariat gets in touch with the players.

They don't use phone or fax,

only letters and video messages.

With this, it was easy to set you up.

By constantly putting you under pressure,

you needed to stay in front of the safe

and couldn't check for any new cards to arrive.

I took out the real card sent to you.

There was more than enough time to create a fake one.

You believed...

that the card in your mailbox was real.

You believed that fake card,

which had the game end an hour early.

Put under so much pressure from the constant observation,

you misjudged your final step.

When you were released from having to protect the money,

that moment of relief,

left you completely unguarded.

Without verifying whether the card or the collector was real.

Finally...

you lost at the very last moment.

I see.

She won, huh?

Yes.

However, a third party helped her.

A third party?

Who's that?

Shin'ichi Akiyama.

Akiyama?

Him...

He was the one that destroyed the MLM I had Yokoya manage...

Him, huh...

But that is rather disappointing.

Eh?

That she'd ask a swindler to help her win the game...

In the end,

she's just like the others

once there is 100 million dangling in front of her eyes.

About this...

What is it?

Nao Kanzaki and

Shin'ichi Akiyama...

They gave all of their prize money

to the loser, Kazuo Fujisawa.

This is all of my share from the game.

Please take this.

You...

But I ask you to...

promise me one thing.

"People are not to be trusted"...

I ask you...

please don't ever say such a sad thing again.

How interesting.

That's really interesting.

However,

just how long will she be able to keep wearing her mask?

What do you have in mind?

A tiny present.

I've prepared just the right stalking horse for her.

So sorry for keeping you waiting, Tsukahara!!

Long-long time no see!!

Mr. Fukunaga...

Huh?

What's up?

You don't look very well.

Something's troubling you?

100 million!?

Ah, sorry, sorry!

You're kidding, right?

It's the truth!

All of a sudden I got involved in this strange game...

"Liar Game"?

I somehow managed to win the first round, but...

but then this letter arrived,

and now I'm scared...

I told the police, but they told me it was a prank and didn't do anything,

I don't know what I should do...

Uh... eh... what's wrong?

Are you ok, Tsukahara?

What's wrong?

You'd really do this?

Yeah. Don't worry!

But... if something happens to you...

I'll be fine!

I'll go to their place

and talk some sense into them for you.

I promise I won't put you in a bad position.

Thank you!

Yeah.

Bye then!

See you again!

See you!

"Liar Game", huh?

It's done.

Good work.

Drive.

Well then,

with the 22 of you assembled here,

we will conduct the second round of the Liar Game.

The game all of you are going to play.

It's...

"Minority Voting"

Minority voting?

The rules of "Minority Rule".

First, one player will be chosen.

This player must pose a question

that can be answered with either "Yes" or "No".

Each of you must then vote

on either "Yes" or "No".

The time limit will be 6 hours.

After this, we will count your votes, and the people who vote with the minority

will be winners.

If there are an equal number of "yes" and "no" votes,

the round will be repeated with another question.

If you lose, you must return your 100 million yen nameplate

and leave the room at once.

This process will be repeated,

until only one or two winners remain.

If you lose,

you must repay a debt of 100 million yen each.

Akiyama quickly found out the winning strategy for the game.

8 out of 22 participants will form a team in secrecy.

And...

they will sign a contract stating they won't betray one another.

The group will split in two and continue to vote.

If they do so, then even if there will no longer be any winnings for an individual,

The award money that the last standing member receives

will be able to split the 2.1 billion within the team.

It was thought that the winnings were decided according to this,

however...

If...

the next round ends in 4-6,

there's a high possibility

that this game will turn

into what I imagine as the worst-case scenario.

No. 11.

Between S and M,

of course,

it's S.

The worst scenario according to Akiyama

is whether there's a traitor amongst them

or...

The results:

"Yes", 4 votes.

"No", 6 votes.

Those who voted "Yes" are the minority and shall remain.

4-6...

Those of you,

who voted "No" shall return home at once.

Time's up.

We are now going to count the votes.

No. 11,

Eto Koichi

"No".

No. 15,

Ishida Rie

The casting that Akiyama had planned

was to have Tsukahara, who was on the same team, to be the only one to submit "Yes".

With this, Akiyama's team's victory was just a few steps in front of them.

We did it!

Hey, wait!

Mr. Akiyama!

Mr. Tsukahara!

Who allowed you to enter?

Hey, what're you doing here?

It doesn't matter.

Allow them...

to watch the game from there.

Hey...

Why do you make such a happy face?

Eh?

Uh, that's...

That's because we formed a team, right?

Oh, that kind of plan is not against the rules.

Isn't that right, dealer?

Of course.

See?

Mr. Tsukahara!

We will win, right?

Nao...

You are such an...

IDIOT, aren't you?

You deceived us...

Since when?

Right from the start.

Right from the start, I planned to take all the money for myself!

This was this man's true colors.

He secretly formed another team

and controlled the game of the teams crushing each other.

Because he had signed the contract under another name,

his contract

was not binding.

May we resume with vote counting?

Oh, go ahead, go ahead!

Though the result is already clear.

Well then.

No. 3,

"Yes"

YES! YES! YES!!!

We lost...

And finally,

No. 22,

Fukunaga seemed the only one to have voted "YES"

With this, the 2,1 billion yen

were bound to become all his.

"Yes".

With his cool-headed intellect, Akiyama was able

to see through Fukunaga's betrayal.

And...

then his counterattack began.

The most important thing in life

is money.

The question has been posed.

Please vote within 6 hours.

I don't need 6 hours.

I already know my answer.

"No".

Mr. Akiyama!

What're you doing? The 6 hours haven't even...

You see, I don't need the time.

Hey, Fukunaga.

The victory is

MINE.

You're just bluffing!

Am I?

As you've all witnessed,

I voted "No".

In other words,

"No" already has one vote,

if you want a minority,

you have to vote "Yes".

But then,

if you only think about yourselves

and you all vote "Yes",

"No" will become the minority,

and I will win for certain.

You've got to be kidding!

I'm dead serious.

If you don't want me to win,

then someone needs to sacrifice themselves and vote "No".

But the person who does that,

will lose any chance of winning.

I assure you.

None of you three

will choose to sacrifice yourselves.

And therefore,

in this game,

I will definitely win.

Let's just settle this round with a draw,

and talk more about the prize money in the next game.

The three players couldn't agree on their share of the money,

and to buy themselves time,

they planned to go for a draw in this round.

Well,

then it's "No" for me.

We are now going to count the votes.

No. 3.

"Yes".

No. 11.

"Yes".

No. 22.

"No".

Wait!

Listen.

He'll try to confuse us in the next game as well.

Don't let him get to you!

It's cause you're such an idiot.

What the hell is up with you?

Stop giving me all that crap!

No. 15.

I called you an idiot because you ARE an idiot!

"Yes".

Wait!!!

What did you just say!?

No. 15.

"Yes".

"Yes". 3 votes.

"No". 1 vote.

"No" becomes the minority,

and No. 22...

is the winner.

He won...

Mr. Akiyama won...

Wha... wait a sec!

What's happening?

Told you, didn't I?

You walked right into my trap.

You are both idiots.

We were working together, No. 15 and I.

This can't be...

But when did you...?

When did you start working together?

If you want a precise answer, it was just a little while ago.

Right after you happily talked about your trick.

But he first proposed the plan yesterday night.

No. 3 is deceiving you.

As things are now,

he will betray you in the end, and you will lose

And in exchange for my information,

he gave me this.

That's...

This nameplate will be exchanged for the price money.

Takada Michiko

In exchange for the winner's nameplate,

We will hand out the money in cash.

That is,

even if he win, he can't get the money without this.

And that's why I was willing to sell my information.

And then,

when you told us about your betrayal yourself,

No. 15 agreed to participate in a plan I had proposed to her.

Fukunaga.

You lost.

I...

I lost?

That is all.

By the way,

how much did you pay No. 15?

1 billion and 1062.5 million.

That's the amount she promised to her team,

And I gave her...

another 100 million as a tip.

1.1 billion...

But you can't afford that!

You forfeited the third game,

so you would only have 1050 million cash prize left.

The cash prize was 2.1 billion.

Therefore there's enough for everybody.

But that's...

I am going to proceed to the third game.

But you can't...

You...

You shouldn't...

sacrifice yourself for us like that.

Sacrifice?

I am not that noble.

But...

The person who is responsible for this "Liar Game".

who enjoys watching the weak deceiving each other,

and burdens them with huge debts if they lose the game.

I want to find out who he is.

I'm entering.

I came to report the results of the second round.

Akiyama won, am I correct?

Yes.

Is it going as you expected?

There's a blind spot in that game,

it was impossible for him not to see it.

However,

Fukunaga also did his best to stir up the game, right?

Just as you said.

As a result

Shin'ichi Akiyama moves on to the third round,

and the other players who he teamed up with

earned their parts of his prize money,

and quit the game.

So this means

this ends everything for Nao Kanzaki too...

What does this look like to you?

I'd say...

like hell?

I see... that's how it appears to you.

But what I am painting here

is something even uglier than hell.

That is to say..?

Man...

itself.

I have a request.

What's that?

I would like to give

Nao Kanzaki one more chance.

Why do you insist on her?

It couldn't be that her pureness or something like that

has touched your heart, right?

All I want to do is to

make the next round of the game a bit more interesting.

Fine.

Do as you wish.

You heard it.

Begin the arrangements right away.

But...

I am sorry to say, but there's no previous instances of this.

It is the rule of the "Liar Game",

that only winners proceed to the next round.

If it's about money, I'll pay.

There shouldn't be a problem, right?

However...

Up till now,

I believe I have given you a great deal of contribution.

Understood.

To merit your kindness, we'll make an exception just once.

However, if you make any further attempts to make this your personal game,

Mr. Hasegawa,

there's a risk that you may face great misfortune.

Do not forget it.

Hey, what's going on?

I wasn't told of a "Resurrection Round"

It was his wish.

His wish!?

Are you sure it's not your own judgment?

What do you mean?

Nao Kanzaki,

right?

who you're after...

I know what you have in mind.

You want to use that girl

to lull him in.

What's so funny?

If he is such an easy person to lull in,

you'd have caught him long ago, wouldn't you.

Ex-assistant inspector

Officer Tanimura.

Don't address me with such a title!!

Three years ago,

when you were a detective in the 2nd investigation department,

you found out about the truth behind the MLM case.

However...

Chief!

What do you mean we stop investigating?

The main offender committed suicide,

Your theory about

some bigger fish pulling the strings behind the scene doesn't hold ground.

That's the opinion of headquarters.

They put you under pressure, didn't they?

What kind of immature talk is that?

It's time for you to grow up.

Don't give me that shit!!

Tanimura, what are you doing!?

Your superior officer was afraid

of the political influence he was wielding,

and decided to silence you.

As a result, you were transferred from the central office,

and you lost your chance of getting promoted.

And then,

the inspector who once brimmed with a sense of justice,

I can't see even a speck of that anymore.

Oh no...

It's just...

that I finally came to my senses.

Money is everything in this world.

Money is the absolute power.

I want to possess that power right now!

What's wrong with living true to your own desires!?

But,

too much greed might just spell your doom.

Do you really think

that he doesn't know about you and Yokoya?

Wait a sec...

I'm just...

I'll say it once more.

Bring Nao Kanzaki back into the game.

That's his order.

Mr. Akiyama!

OUCH!!

You're from the LGT Office, aren't you!?

Yeah, I am, but...

Can I just talk to you? Huh?

No!

So you are going to abandon Akiyama?

You were the one who got him into this.

But now he has to move on into the next round all by himself.

Don't you feel guilty?

You want to do something about it right?

About this situation.

Akiyama wasn't always a swindler.

He was just your average psychology university student.

Huh?

You know, Shin'ichi Akiyama.

He lost his father when he was still young,

and his mother brought him up all on her own.

You know, people should be honest and sincere.

If so, they will surely find happiness.

Okay!

Akiyama believed in his mother's words, and studied hard.

But then,

about that time

his mother fell ill, and was repeatedly hospitalized and discharged.

Well, it must have been the strain from all those years, you know?

To make things worse, there was no longer

much money left in the Akiyama family.

The only thing they had were enormous debts.

That's when

an old friend showed up and offered a helping hand.

She was told that just by working on days she felt good,

she would be able to receive tons of income.

That wasn't...

Yeah.

It was a multi-level marketing organization.

Akiyama's mother who didn't know how to doubt other people.

too easily signed that contract,

unaware...

that this would make her life a living hell.

With her body and her mind literally torn to pieces, she once more was hospitalized

Prompting Notice

Contract Violation Fine Request

she must have been distressed.

Because of her debts,

her son wouldn't be able to finish university.

Maybe she thought she would be a burden to him...

That's why...

That's why?

She...

She decided to take the ultimate measure.

She probably

intended to use her insurance to pay off her debts.

Because she was so honest,

and because she trusted people,

she had to die.

The death of his mother

ensured that Akiyama could graduate from university.

But Akiyama...

decided to use the knowledge he had gained in university

for revenge.

That's why he became a swindler himself,

and brought down the multi-level marketing organization that killed his mother.

He deceived them back.

When he saw

how idiotically honest you were,

he must have seen his own mother in you.

Sacrificing himself to save you, maybe he did that,

so he wouldn't have to repeat the past,

where he couldn't save his mother.

So that's why he...

Do you want to save him?

Well...

of course.

You can.

There's only one way.

What's that?

You must enter the resurrection round of the "Liar Game".

Can I talk to you?

Who are you?

I see.

I heard that a young kid was looking for me,

was that you?

I want to ask you something.

Leave me alone!

I have nothing to say.

Liar Game.

Don't tell you you've forgotten about it.

And? What do you want to ask about?

You

advanced all the way to the last stage before, right?

Then you should know something about it.

But because of that, this is what's left of me now.

I lost my family. Then my assets.

And also hope.

What's their objective?

What's it to you?

Don't tell me

you're going to go against them, are you?

You shouldn't.

They cannot be easily beaten by you alone.

They are

able to do whatever they please if they wish.

Why do they drag innocent people into it?

I don't know.

The only obvious thing is

that they're enjoying it.

Enjoying?

That's right.

They're enjoying

watching us struggle.

How far

have you gotten so far?

The next is the third round.

Then you still have time.

You should just leave that shit-of-a-game immediately.

If you leave now, even if you're at the bottom

you won't be burdened to pay off anything.

But if you continue to move ahead...

What's at the end?

Hell.

Nothing but Hell.

If

you want to die a decent person

then don't get involved with the game any further.

Hey Eto.

Yes?

You have a visitor.

For me? Who is it?

Something about it being important.

They're here...

The collectors...

They finally sent the collectors.

What am I going to do?

Thank you for waiting.

Yo!

Fukunaga!

Why you!

STOP!!!

Hey Leopard Skin

I haven't seen you for a long time, what's with your attitude?

Cut the shit.

Because you betrayed me

I...

I know, I know. Just calm down.

I've brought you good news after all.

What's this "good news"?

Are you going to deceive me again?

No I'm not. Listen up.

That game from the other day,

unlike Akiyama's winning team,

each of us losers have a 100 billion debt.

I know that.

That's why I'm sweating my butt off working like this.

It's no use.

There's no way you can ever pay them back.

Then, what do you suggest?

100 billion yen?

Borrow it from someone else to pay it off.

Huh?

Hey, Mushroom.

Huh?

Are you stupid?

Where the hell can we get such money?

And

there's no way anyone would lend me such an amount of money when I'm a free lance worker.

That's why,

you're a complete idiot as usual.

Banks and loan companies

aren't the only place to borrow money.

What do you mean?

In this world

there are thousands of people who can't use their money.

What do you think people like that are afraid of the most?

Time out.

Huh? Hold on...

I know! Thief!

What the hell's that?

National Tax Administration Agency

The tax office, you know? The tax office.

Oh...

They want to increase their money.

But they can't keep it in a bank or put it in bonds.

Because,

if they do that, the tax office will take a good chunk.

So then what do you do?

You lend it out, by word-of-mouth.

Lend?

Of course the interest rate isn't as great as a bank

but it's way cheaper than borrowing it from a loan company.

and

because it's a word-of-mouth from someone you trust, you don't have to go through any interviews.

It's not all that bad is it?

Well, yeah...

Even though it was a serious battle, I...

feel bad that I deceived everyone.

So...

I thought if I could pay back my sins, even if it's only a bit.

What do you think?

But borrowing money again is...

Oh really? Then why don't you do as you please.

But

remember that Mini Mushroom from the second round?

It won't be

my problem if you get sold and sent off to Hong Kong like him.

Ehhh... are you serious?!

HELP ME!!

To Hongu Kongu?

Of course.

He wasn't able to pay off his debt.

Those people in the Office aren't normal people.

Take care of yourself.

Hey, wait a minute...

That's a true story right?

Yeah, it's true.

Then, let me in on it too.

Okay. But, it can't be for free.

You're taking money?

Of course. It's for the gratitude towards the middleman.

I already paid.

How much do you have right now?

Hand all of it over.

Hand it over.

You're so lame.

Well, I'll take it as a partial payment.

SHE'S! SHE'S HERE!!!

Whoa!

Whoa!

I'm sorry!

I'll try my best to pay it back!

Please forgive us.

What are you talking about?

Huh?

You're not the collector?

Today, Mr. Fukunaga and Mr. Eto,

I came to inform you about the Resurrection Round Battle.

Ressurection Round Report

Ressurection Round Battle?

The time and place is as printed there.

I await your participation.

And about what Mr. Fukunaga was talking about,

the collection of your loses will be done after all of the rounds are completed,

and the winner decided.

Please keep that in mind.

After the winner is decided means...

Then...the story about being sent off to Hongu Kongu is...?

What's this Hongu Kongu? It's Hong Kong, right?

You're an idiot.

You tricked me again didn't you, you bastard!

Well then, with the 9 of you gathered here,

let's begin the Resurrection Round Battle.

The game all of you are going to play,

is called...

"Restructuring Game".

"Restructuring Game"?

Restructuring game.

It's a game where the person with the lowest point is kicked out of the game.

Nao Kanzaki, who had received money in the second round,

was surrounded by hostility by the other players from the start

and was singled out

Fukunaga used that situation to his advantage,

manipulating the other players' votes

9th Place Kanzaki Nao

0 Votes

setting it us so she wouldn't be able to get any votes.

0 Votes

On top of that, Fukunaga outplayed Nao Kanzaki to a phony game

and tricked Nao Kanzaki out of 30 million yen.

Thank you very much~!!!

However, Akiyama who was informed of her crisis,

immediately agreed to enter the game

Akiyama saw through Fukunaga's game

and made Nao Kanzaki to set Fukunaga up for a taste of his own medicine.

Yay!

Yay!

9th Place Kanzaki Nao

As a result, she was able to gain 10 votes from Fukunaga

10 Votes

And with the game money, 70 million yen

she bought 10 votes from each of the other members

Remaining money

in the end, she stood as the sole winner of the game

80 Votes

Now, the one who controls the game is Nao Kanzaki.

Whether you live or die,

is all in her hands.

Anyway, if you want to win,

come and buy votes here.

Not one of them are able to withdraw from the game with a debt

by using their crisis, Akiyama was able to take control

and sold Nao Kanzaki's votes at a high price

as a result, Nao Kanzaki was able to gain everyone's money

and be able to control their votes at will

And the last vote...

By her own will, Nao Kanzaki

chose one to eliminate

The lowest vote is 49...

Well then, let me start the announcement

In the battle of being chosen to move on to the third battle,

there is only one slot.

Mr. Yuuji Fukunaga.

Against what they predicted

Nao Kanzaki didn't eliminate Fukunaga who had continuously betrayed her

the person she chose to eliminate was...

Me?

I got through?!

I DID IT!!!

I'M IN!!!!!

I'M A SUPER HAPPY MUSHROOM!!!!!

Mr. Koichi Eto.

49 votes.

Thus, the one who ended up with the lowest number of votes,

Mr. Eto, will be restructured.

Why?...

Fukunaga!

Hey, why didn't you kick Fukunaga out?

Yes, why?!

Wasn't it Fukunaga who tried to set you up in the first place?

I decided to have Mr. Eto restructured

for a good reason.

After the "ice-breaker" round,

all of you avoided me,

because I had won money in the second round.

Then, you decided to work together with Fukunaga,

and none of you even considered talking to me.

Here, take this.

Back then, Mr. Eto...

he was the only one who talked to me.

He told me about Mr. Fukunaga's plan,

and that you had betrayed me.

He was the only one who apologized.

I...

I was really happy.

But then... why?

That's right!

Why did you do this to him?

I found it.

A method...

for everyone in this Liar Game to be happy.

What if neither of you try to get the other's money,

just keep your 100 million from the start,

and wait for the game to end?

In that case...

you return your 100 million to the Office.

Huh?

That's right.

Both of you

end up with no debts,

and neither have to proceed to the second round.

It's true.

You could make it end there.

And it's the same for the second round.

If all of the participants work together,

and the final player to remain

gives 100 million to each other.

The losers would give the money back to the Office,

Eh? And then it's over again.

But that player has to proceed to the third round that way, right?

No need to worry.

No matter how far you'll get,

if everyone works together, you'll be alright.

As long as there aren't any selfish players,

the Office won't even get a dime.

It's when the winner thinks like this

and forfeits the game,

then the Office makes a profit.

And this Resurrection Round is the same too.

In this game, one out of nine players gets resurrected.

The 100 million from the restructured player

is split amongst the remaining players,

and the top player gets a special prize money of 100 million.

In other words, the remaining 8 players

obtain a total sum of 200 million yen.

But you can also think of it like this:

In this game, you have 200 million yen

to save one person.

And therefore,

I save you, Mr. Eto.

With this, you'll be free

to get out of the Liar Game.

Even...

though I betrayed you...

even though I couldn't do anything for you...

When you talked to me...

I was really happy.

Thank you...

for this...

Thank you, Nao...

I am going to return

the 100 million I got from each of you.

Without Mr. Eto, we have 8 people.

There is 800 million remaining.

With this money, all of us can return

the 100 million we were given in this game.

If we don't deceive and hurt each other,

we will not make a profit,

but there won't be any losses either.

A way where everyone is happy?

Are you okay?

What has...

happen to her since then?

She's currently heading to where the third battle is to be held.

The next opponent is very difficult.

She'll learn this time around

how ugly humans really are.

But what if she wins?

Impossible.

Unless a miracle happens.

Why do you

deny a person like her can exist so strongly?

I was abandoned by my mother when I was young.

It was when this country was still poor.

and I'm not about to talk about what kind of life I've walked.

But

there's one thing I can say

Humans are willing to betray others in order to survive.

Therefore, what's wrong with deceiving other from the start

or living faithfully for your desires?

I have lived on thinking like this.

So that's your life...?

No.

That's being "human".

Human...

Like your painting?

That's right.

Stepping over others,

and pushing others into despair

that's my existence now.

But...

it will only be for a bit longer.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the third stage of the Liar Game.

I will lead you towards the site.

Please follow me.

There's one too many players at the fourth game site.

We would like to ask if you would allow him to participate in this game...

Understood.

I'm Yokoya.

So pleased... to meet you.

Water Country?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

the third round of the Liar Game will now commence.

Unlike the previous games, this time

you will not be playing individually

but playing as a group.

As a group?

The game you are going to play now,

is called...

The "Contraband Game".

With this game, they will split into the Fire Country and Water Country

and try to smuggle the other country's money into their own.

Deceiving the opponent's inspector,

if they are able to get a "pass", then they success in the smuggle.

But, if they are found with money on them

and get a "doubt",

then the money they were carrying becomes the other country's.

So, you all need to do is

make your opponent believe the suitcase is empty,

or that you're smuggling less than the actual amount.

Your destinies have been divided by this border.

Water Country.

And Fire Country.

This decides the players for both sides.

The smuggling game starts

Opposed the Water Country, the Fire Country challenged them

with an attack stance, marching forward in the confusion.

The one who controlled the Fire Country

was a man who released a majestic vibe,

it was Yokoya.

You know...

I'm a psychic.

Huh?

X-ray vision.

That is...

I have the power to see hidden things.

X-ray vision...

X-ray vision...

Doubt.

50 million...

and 10,000 yen.

Yokoya's ability to see through everything and be precise about the amount down to the last 10,000 yen

but there was a trick behind it.

Yokoya conspired with Ono of the Water Country

and was leaking each other's monetary information

Without letting Ono find out, Akiyama

changed the smuggle money

and set a trap for Yokoya.

100 million?

To Akiyama's strike back

Yokoya finally came forward with his true self

He was the one who controlled the MLM association

that Akiyama had destroyed.

MLM?

You already heard the story from Tanimura, didn't you?

About what happened to... Akiyama's Mother.

Why do you think I am here in this place?

This is my punishment.

Becasue he crashed that MLM,

the organization I belong to, ordered me to play.

If I lose here, this will be my end, Akiyama.

Don't you think that's unfair?

That I'd be the only one playing such an entertaining game.

And that's why I invited you here.

Using Nao Kanzaki...

as a lure.

You know,

Akiyama would never abandon a person like you.

Someone who believes in people,

someone who doesn't doubt people.

Yes,

someone who resembles his mother so much --

You.

When I was managing the MLM,

I saw that over and over again.

When people who were gentle at heart

failed to deceive others,

You know, people should be honest and sincere.

Regrettable, isn't it?

Because this way, you will surely find happiness.

YOKOYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yokoya!!

YOKOYA!!!

Are you resorting to violence now?

It seems, I might have overestimated you.

Shut up!!

In this state, you won't be able to win the game.

Throw away your hopes.

Just like your mother did.

Shut up!

Shut up!! SHUT UP!!!!

Mr. Akiyama...

SHUT UP!!!

Shut up...

What is he doing?!

Give me your cards.

Eh?

I'll smuggle your money for you.

Are you deaf?

I told you to GIVE ME your cards!!!

But...

Are you serious?

If we all work together...

It's hopeless.

We can't win, even if we worked together.

This...

isn't like you at all, Mr. Akiyama.

You are always

totally calm,

you always have a plan,

and...

This is the real me!!!

What would you know about me?

And now...

give me your FUCKING cards!!!

What's wrong?

Suddenly going silent...

Nothing.

This is the end of her.

Should I praise her for doing so well up till now?

Akiyama full of rage

and now with her in the depth of sadness

the winner is crystal clear.

Do you know why?

Sadness, rage and hate

all negative emotions are the opposite of desire.

If you can't get rid of your desire,

humans aren't able to trust in others.

Is that how you really feel?

What do you mean?

Truthfully...aren't you scared?

That she...Nao Kanzaki would win.

Impossible.

Why would I?

Because, Nao Kanzaki's victory,

will deny everything

in your life up until now.

What?

You are a person who doesn't believe in humans.

To prove it, you hosted this game.

But she's different.

She accepts everything.

By believing in everything,

she's striving to win this game.

That's why you're scared.

Of the being of Nao Kanzaki, and everything about her.

SHUT UP!!

What would you know!?

That girl is going to win?

She won't!

There's no way she can.

Are you sure?

I on the other hand,

don't think the game will end like this.

Fine.

If she wins,

then I'll give you anything you wish for.

Would it be money?

Liberty?

There's no need for those.

But if she does win,

even if it's just a bit,

can you believe in it?

Believe what?

Believe you?

Humans...

That is my...

a person who served you for many years

No...

your daughter's wish.

When I found out about how little time that man has left,

I decided to use Nao Kanzaki,

to teach him

how ugly and dirty he was.

That was...my revenge.

But...now...

I only want to observe

her growth.

PASS!!

100 million yen, successfully smuggled.

Watching this makes my eyes hurt!!!

Doubt, 100 million.

This smuggling attempt failed.

He lost money to them again...

Pass.

The smuggling attempt was successful.

We can't win anymore...

Doubt, one hundred million yen.

Attempt failed.

It was painful,

to watch Akiyama struggle in his anger and hatred,

to find that after all, I couldn't do anything for him.

Akiyama seems to have realized this as well.

His own defeat...

What the...

We will now announce the current standings for both countries.

How can this be?

Why are the results like this?

That guy... how did he...

The battle...hasn't ended yet.

How unfortunate.

All of that was part of my scheme.

You believed I had snapped after responding to your provocations,

and went on to observe me from behind the monitor,

In the meantime,

I joined hands with the other 3 members of your team.

I want to destroy you.

That's why I allowed those three to obtain that much money.

In exchange for offering them a way to escape from this game debt-free,

they had to promise to work together with me.

And what's the point of that now?

They have already reached their goal of gaining money,

so they don't have any reason

to stick to that promise now, do they?

Without these cards, they can't use their money.

In other words... They have to work together with me until the bitter end.

So... who's the controller of the game now?

You or me?

Want to try your X-ray vision on this one?

So try to judge

whether I'm smuggling anything or not.

Oh, let me tell you.

Inside this trunk, there's

nothing.

Doubt,

100 million yen.

The smuggler... has managed to make the inspector unjustly suspect him.

The inspector will have to pay Mr. Akiyama a consolation fee of 50 million yen.

Unlike you, I don't need to make stupid lies like that.

Yokoya.

This time,

I'll destroy you.

Was all of that

all an act?

Yeah.

I needed to make Yokoya believe that I was having a mental breakdown

and continuously lose money.

Make him believe?

But you really lost our money.

The three on the other team are able to leave the game without owing, yet

we're...

Hey, why don't you say something too?

Sorry, but I'll be able to leave the game.

Because I'll be getting the money in Akiyama's account.

Like I would easily give up my card without some kind of exchange

Then what about us?

You guys will leave the game too.

The money they aren't able to smuggle

will be split among us

I don't need it, so you guys can split it even among yourselves.

But then Mr. Akiyama, you'll be the only one left with a debt.

If the team wins, regardless of a debt, I'll still be able to move on to the fourth round.

No way...

Don't you think that's okay?

It seems like that's what he wants.

Yeah-yeah.

It's all his own fault.

Mr. Akiyama.

They will say "pass" on all of our smuggles attempt.

As long as I have these,

they won't be able to betray us.

Hurry and go smuggle your money.

I heard you told Ono about our smuggles.

We're not going to listen to you anymore.

If we listen to Akiyama, we'll be able to leave the game without a debt.

Yes. As long as we have this, you can't betray us.

Don't think

you'll get off this easily.

Stop being a sour loser.

Mr. Fukunaga and Ms. Hiromi's smuggles ended,

and the game carried out as Mr. Akiyama had planned.

I'll be able to get 500 million soon.

I won't be in debt.

You're the one cornered, Akiyama.

Your revenge...will end in a failure again.

Doubt, 100 million.

Smuggler, Mr. Akiyama

you were able to deceive the inspector to call a doubt.

the consolation money of 50 million will be paid to you.

This is your second doubt miss.

In other words, you now are carrying 100 million in debt.

Realize it.

That you are the one being cornered...

Yokoya.

The only one left with money is you.

If you smuggle it, then our team will turn the tables and win.

Mr. Akiyama, are you really sure?

That having your revenge, is all that matters?

If you don't feel up to it, then I'll go smuggle it.

Hand over your card.

Those in the Water Country,

please chose your inspector for the 24th round

We already know the results, so

let's hurry and end this game.

Mr. Akiyama...

if I

make a doubt miss on purpose, what would you do?

without smuggling,

and staying here until the game ends

our team will lose, right?

What are you talking about, Nao?

I'm sorry if I'm threatening you

but I...

have something I really want you to hear me out on

could you...

make this game a draw?

If it's a draw, there won't be any losers.

In other words, it means there'll be a chance for both teams, right?

That would be correct.

If there is a draw,

whether or not you have a debt,

you would still be able to move on to the fourth round.

Mr. Akiyama is trying to take revenge against Mr. Yokoya.

But, I don't want Mr. Akiyama to do that.

No one would agree to such a proposal.

No one is willing to betray Akiyama and not get our share.

So, stop saying weird things.

Hurry up and pass me.

Doubt, 100 million.

The smuggler was able to trick the inspector into calling "doubt."

Ms. Kanzaki will pay the consolation fee of 50 million to Mr. Okabe.

What the hell are you thinking?

I'm serious.

If you won't make it a draw

then

I'll make our team lose.

Next,

I'd like Mr. Yokoya to please come forward.

That idiot!!

How stubborn is that girl?

Could you turn on

the PA system in this inspection room?

I want Mr. Akiyama to hear our conversation.

What do you think?

I don't care.

Understood.

Mr. Yokoya.

please apologize

to Mr. Akiyama.

I've been thinking about it for a while

of what you told me.

People

naturally betray, hate, and deceive each other.

Honestly

I don't understand that much

But...I want to believe

that there's no one in this world

who is truly bad to the bone.

I don't think there's a reason

for people to hate each other.

Even if you take your revenge,

neither of your pains would ever disappear.

So...

So I want to save

Mr. Akiyama.

And...

you too, Mr. Yokoya.

Me...too?

Please apologize

to Mr. Akiyama

for your own sake.

It's as...

you say.

I...

did an irrevocable thing.

I don't believe I will be forgiven,

but I don't have

any other way to say it.

Akiyama,

I'm sorry.

I'm really,

Really sorry.

Mr. Yokoya.

Please take this.

It's something I don't need any more.

I'll leave the rest up to you.

I'll make sure this ends in a draw.

Uhm...

Ms. Kanzaki.

Would you allow me to take care of this?

If you lend me your card

I'll arrange it so that we end in a draw.

I...

Don't worry.

You have my card.

And, this is

for my own sake.

Okay.

I'll trust you.

Thank you...

for believing in me.

Mr. Yokoya?

With this...

I'll be able to win the game now.

My objective was just one thing

to get a hold of your card

What do you mean?

To tell you the truth, that card is empty.

In other words, even if I don't have that card, I'm able to get the prize money.

Because...

I switched my money

over to this card

Why? Why do you have Mr. Tsuchida's card?

It's me

who made him leave.

I told him that as long as he handed me his card, I'd take up his debt for him,

so it'd be okay for him to leave.

He easily fell for this plan

without knowing that he was being deceived.

And right before we got here

I moved my money over to Mr. Tsuchida's card.

You only need to tell the game officials.

The procedure is rather easy.

It's the same as the bank, Ms. Kanzaki.

As long as you have two accounts,

it's easy to transfer money, right?

No way...

I have your card.

In other words, at this rate...

you won't be able to get your money.

Mr. Akiyama, what are you going to do?

Both you and Ms. Kanzaki will lose

and have a debt.

But! Let me give you a chance.

If you want to save at least Ms. Kanzaki,

then I don't mind trading you the three cards you have

with this card, Nao Kanzaki's.

The three cards are more profitable

than Nao Kanzaki's one card.

Of course, if you hand over the three cards,

the remaining three in the Fire Country will be in debt

Well then Akiyama, please make your choice.

Between Ms. Kanzaki,

or the other three.

Mr. Yokoya...

Ms. Kanzaki,

you said you wanted to believe, right?

That there's no such thing as

a person who's bad to the bone.

Unfortunately, one existed...

right in front of you.

I'm sorry...

because of me...

I...

I...

It's okay.

Water Country,

please chose the inspector for your 25th round.

What will happen to us?

We'll be okay!

We have a contract.

But!

What if he gives up the cards?

Why?

Have you decided?

That's what I thought you'd do.

You can't just ignore her, can you?

Put that card down.

Too bad.

You were so close to getting your revenge.

You sacrifice yourself so that she would not be in debt,

doesn't that line of thought remind you of someone?

Someone who committed suicide so her son wouldn't be in debt,

Your dear mother.

Mother and son, both of you are so dumb.

Truly...

Ms. Kanzaki.

I thank you.

It's all because of you.

What's so funny?

You said that

it was easy to transfer money if you had two accounts, right?

That it was just like a bank.

So?

It was really

just like a bank.

What would you do if a card doesn't work

or got damaged?

What are you talking about?

Don't tell me...

That's right.

I had them reissued

all three of the cards here.

It was quite difficult

making scratches on these three so they wouldn't work

When I told the officials that they weren't working,

they brought me new ones

without a question.

They said I could just toss those old ones.

You bastard!!

Don't be full of yourself!

Do you think you've won!?

The battle hasn't ended yet.

Because I have this.

I have 490 million.

If I keep this up, I'll be able to get 500 million with ease.

Mr. Yokoya.

That Mr. Tsuchida's card you are holding

is now unusable.

WHAT!?

Mr. Tsuchiya has re-entered the game.

So,

we are reissuing Mr. Tsuchida a new card.

Why? He ran away!

But why!?

As you said before,

you were the one who forced Mr. Tsuchiya to leave!

Mr. Yokoya, you were under the contract to play in his stead,

so you were temporarily holding his card.

However, as long as Mr. Tsuchiya wants to go back into the game

we will disregard the contract.

As a result, the amount transferred between Mr. Tsuchida and Mr. Yokoya's card

is set back to what it was before the contract.

No...way...

You betrayed Nao Kanzaki who was trying to save you.

This is your punishment.

Having given up your card

you now can't smuggle money.

And, with this card being unusable,

you can't receive the prize money either.

Go to Hell...

with a debt of 500 million.

Yay!

That'll be the end of Yokoya!

Yay!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Why did you come back?

The officials informed me.

That I was tricked by Yokoya

and that I would still be in debt.

Is this your doing again?

But, I'm...

still in debt.

I wonder if this will turn out well...

She...

Nao Kanzaki...

was trying to save someone like Yokoya, yet...

I have your card,

so don't you consider ending it with a draw.

Akiyama!

Sorry, but we're going to follow Nao's plan.

We're going to make this game a draw.

We'll play to the end too...Right?

Yeah.

Everybody...

Thank you very much.

Okay, let's all do this together.

And so what are we going to do?

I'll be the next inspector...

Doubt, 29,680,000 yen.

Everyone moved forward with my plan on making it a draw.

In order for all of us to move on to the fourth battle.

Are you okay? Aren't you tired?

I'm okay.

And thanks to everyone, we should already have a draw.

I'm glad for you.

Thanks.

By the way, what do you intend of doing with Yokoya's card?

I'm thinking of giving it back to him later.

Though everyone objected about it.

I see.

But, do you think it's real?

Eh?

You know, they're able to reissue them, so...

Continuing on, we will begin the 29th round.

Please chose an inspector from the Water Country.

I'll go and check to see if that card is valid.

Huh?

Well, you look tired, so...

Hey.

Fukunaga!

Do your best.

Are you okay?

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

You let your guard down, didn't you...

Nao!!

Mr. Fukunaga and I were working together

before Mr. Ono's betrayal went out in the open.

And just a moment ago,

we made up another plan

while you were all too busy trying to make this game a draw.

No way...

They were waiting

for both teams to be a draw.

Once both teams are a draw,

we can turn the tables with one betrayal.

I'll be expecting a portion later.

Of course.

Nao...

you never learn, do you?

Being deceived the same way

over and over again.

Aren't you stupid?

It's so funny.

My bad.

I let my guard down...

Totally.

This game...

we lose.

First up is 100 million.

Ms. Kanzaki,

thanks to you suggesting a draw

I'm able to turn the tables.

You were wrong in thinking of saving everyone by making it a draw.

Ms. Kanzaki?

There's no way of making everyone in the world happy!

There's no way of making everyone in the world happy.

With the Liar Game, there's a way to make everyone happy...

If we don't deceive or hurt each other,

then no one would end up at a loss.

I'll precede to the third battle with everyone.

Here, Mr. Fukunaga.

In order to get tons of money,

humans tell lies without scruple.

Right, Mr. Fukunaga?

Yeah, just sit back and observe from there Ms. Kanzaki.

This is reality.

Come on Mr. Fukunaga.

Go ahead with your pass!

I've won...

I've won to Akiyama!!

Doubt, 100 million.

Doubt, 100 million!!

Mr. Fukunaga has successfully caught the smuggle.

The 100 million will be taken away by Mr. Fukunaga.

What's going on?

I saw through

what was in the trunk.

Cut the shit!

Why? Why me?

This is the Liar Game you know.

What's wrong with deceiving you?

Me? Lost?

No way...

There's no way!!

Yay!

Hooray! Hooray!

Way to go.

I was nervous.

Stupid, it's not like that.

It's totally not like that.

You're so great.

We now are entering the last game.

Please chose a smuggler from the Water Country,

and an inspector from the Fire Country.

I'd like to ask you, Mr. Akiyama,

to be the last smuggler.

Hey, why are you letting Akiyama?

He's against a draw right?

With both teams helping each other

we already have a draw of 2 billion 500 million yen each.

But...

at this rate, only Mr. Yokoya

will have a debt of a 100 million yen.

Mr. Akiyama, you have my card right?

On that card

there's still 100 million yen.

Whether you forgive Mr. Yokoya or not,

Or whether you make this game a draw, I leave it up to you.

But, please understand just this

If we don't deceive or hurt each other

I'm sure everyone will be happy.

I...

believe in you.

I was waiting for this moment.

Yokoya,

go to Hell.

Help me...

Forgive me...

I beg you.

Didn't you say,

one lies without scruple

in order to receive tons of money.

Then...

those words were lies too right?

There's 100 million yen in here.

I don't believe a word you say.

Whether you believe my words or not

is up to you.

Doubt...

100 million.

Inspector, Mr. Yokoya

you have successfully stopped a smuggle

the 100 million will be given to Mr. Yokoya.

This is ridiculous.

The reason why you're irritated

is because you remember it when you see her, right?

The old you,

who used to believe in something.

She'll soon learn

that the world isn't that forgiving.

Mr. Akiyama.

Thank you very much.

And then, the smuggle game had ended.

Everyone received 500 million,

and were advanced to the fourth battle.

A month since then.

I went back to my peaceful everyday life.

The fourth battle invitation hasn't been delivered yet.

And since that day,

I haven't had any contact with Mr. Akiyama either.

Even if you get your revenge,

neither of your pains would disappear.

Excuse me.

So you're...

Yes.

I'm the one behind the Liar Game.

I'm the one behind the Liar Game.

The MLM that you destroyed

was also a part of my organization.

Did you get over...

the hate?

What's the objective of this game?

I have a troublesome illness

from bad karma I acquired because of the bad things I did till now.

The moment I began to look and accept my own fate,

I found her.

That's when I began to wonder,

whether a pure soul like her would be able to keep her pureness

if she were involved in a unforgiving battle,

and whether

such beauty really exists in this world.

With death laid in front of me,

I may be able to find the answer

of what was lacking in my life.

Just for that?

She's pure.

She believes in others, and doesn't know how to doubt them.

Many may think that a person like her is stupid,

But they would eventually realize

that they who thought she was stupid,

have been too used to

doubting and hurting others.

I too realized that...

And...

was saved.

You were saved by her too, right?

Shin'ichi Akiyama?

That's the end of my talk.

When will the fourth round begins?

The fourth round?

It might have started already.

This world

is the same as the Liar Game right?

Mr. Akiyama.

Take a look at the painting.

It's still incomplete,

but I've decided to repaint it a bit.

I think...it's a great painting.

You were...trying to use Nao Kanzaki

to show me hope, weren't you?

That's... it's a bit different.

I too

wanted to try and believe in humans.

I see.

Huh?

Kouta,

what's wrong?

I have to be hospitalized again.

Huh?

Just joking!

Today's a check up! I was cured!

Hey, don't tell such lie!

Well, you're always easy to fool.

You're tricked by children too?

Geez...

You're so stupid honest, that's why you're so easily tricked.

Is it bad to be

stupidly honest?

I think...

it's okay.

We hope you have enjoyed this series as much as we did.

Thank you for supporting us!

I'm Liar Game's dealer,

Leronira.

it means you have chosen to enter the Liar Game, right?
