Sky blue ceiling above you

The rates keep piling up

Let's start dancing above

Those shivering thrills!

Let's look for a way out

As you squirm through the discard pile

What will you freeze up next time, hell itself?

What will you freeze up next time, hell itself?

YEAH!

Come, place your bets!

Come on, so close to tenpai!

How much yen does your life cost?

Everywhere people gamble!

Life itself is a gamble!

Have no hard feelings when you join the gambling hall!

Welcome to the gambling hall!

Welcome to the gambling hall!

Welcome to the gambling hall!

Life only shines when it's at stake!

Life only shines when it's at stake!

Life only shines when it's at stake!

All or nothing, every gambler's greatest dream!

All or nothing, every gambler's greatest dream!

The rooms are next to each other, just as K wanted.

The rent and such for them should be about 1.5 million.

What should we do about our commission?

Ten million is fine.

That's a fatherly attitude!

But is it fine?

Amina now has a visa and is free.

Won't K just retire now?

K won't go anywhere.

Ma-

Matsumoto!

Another Ichigun from Takatsu's place!

They really came to crush us!

What should we do, Boss?

We can't lay hands on them.

If they just came to play mahjong, they are clients.

Let him play.

Matsumoto-san, thank you for coming.

How is our captain doing, Ike?

In last two days, he was playing non-stop and won more than 8 million.

Still, he has to be tired by now.

Right now he is in third place and 20,000 points behind first in All Last.

His eyes don't look dead yet.

Going for Sanshoku?

Or Ittsuu?

That's clearly a bad tile efficiency choice.

Riichi.

There are already three of key tile 7m on the table.

All he can do is minimize the damage by folding.

He is contesting it?

And not with 9m that looks like it would pass, but with lower man tiles?

Is this really the Ice K?

Kan.

His style is clearly different from before.

K was definitely the type to silently and safely hunt from afar.

But this is-

Riichi.

In-fighting!

Even knowing the dangers, he is going sharper and deeper-

And more intense!

Tsumo.

Riichi, Ippatsu, Tsumo, one dora-

And ura-

Seven!

12,000 points and 210,000 yen all.

Right now K-

Is trying to evolve!

The raid on Sasayama-gumi's mahjong gambling halls by Takatsu-gumi's Ichigun-

Has entered its fourth day.

The reason why this place held out longer than Takatsu expected-

Was because Sasayama-gumi put all of its financial and human resources to defend it to the death.

As a result-

It became a battlefield.

He ignored the last tile for his double South.

K, would you call that one?

Well, just watch.

Eh, what?

Dropping 6m there?

Tsumo.

It's Chiitoi.

800/1,600.

Nice, we got it!

This is good, keep it up!

Now they are getting heated!

Is Matsumoto-jii-sama alright?

Jii-sama - old man / gramps. A familial and respectful way to refer to an older person.

He is 26,000 behind first place in South 3!

No need to panic.

I'm the dealer next round.

Youngsters are too impatient, it's no good.

Sometimes you gotta take your time waiting.

Right, K?

Good, he drew the key tile.

Now cut the dora and Riichi right away!

Hey, you aren't even taking the tenpai?!

What happened to the old man?

At this point, North should have passed.

Is he thinking of calling 6p and waiting on the dora?

Riichi.

Heavy!

What heavy and slow-moving mahjong!

He got the best possible hand you could think of!

Could it be-

Oh, here we go.

8,000 all.

So cool!

Mahjong is something you play leisurely.

There is no mistake.

In this hanchan-

Matsumoto-san is playing to show me this.

"Don't rush it"

"Be more patient", huh?

K!

Yes?

Come again tomorrow after school.

I'll play until then.

Alright then.

I'll take you up on your offer.

Matsumoto-san.

Thank you very much.

It has been a while.

Learning something from somebody.

Katsuragi is absent today as well.

Be careful to not catch the flu, everyone.

Alright, starting the class.

Hey, done with the school?

That's right.

It's good to go to school properly.

M-matsumoto-sama!

They say that high school friends are friends for life.

You gotta treasure the time you have.

I.. tried to call you, K.

But..

He said you had classes-

That we shouldn't bother you.

Stop nagging.

I promised to play until this time.

But it's pathetic.

I lost all our winnings until now.

It took my all just to persevere until now.

All I can do now is-

To wash my hands of it.

After an old man, it's a boy?

Are all yakuza reps like this?

Well, it's fine.

Sit down quickly.

Old man, we'll take you to the hospital right away.

Idiot!

You think I can let the youngster wipe my ass,

And leave on my own?!

You say that, but!

Until I've seen this match to the end,

I won't move from here even if it kills me!

Jii-sama!

Can K win?

I don't know.

However-

If somebody can beat that-

It can only be K.

Boy,

How much do you have on you?

Ten million.

I see.

Then bet all of it.

I'll play against you.

The rules have changed.

The match is over the two players' difference.

The first place gets to decide the next opponent and the bet.

The other two players also compete over their difference.

It's okay to refuse if you don't want to.

In fact, you can refuse and leave right now!

I accept the ten million.

Is that so?

And then, to add to it-

I will also bet my winnings from the previous game, those 10 fingers.

Boy, you are friends with that old man, right?

Don't you want to get his fingers back?

Perhaps they could still stitch them back at the hospital!

And in return-

Bet one of your fingers.

Ten to one-

Isn't it a great condition?

What a woman!

But if it goes well, we can fix Jii-san's fingers.

I refuse.

I don't need Matsumoto-san's fingers.

But in return-

I'll have your finger!

That's impressive!

What's your name, boy?

K.

I see, it's K-kun.

My name is Ai.

I accept this match.

Shit!

This is just too much!

Even though we had the chance to get the fingers back!

No.

That's the right way.

Jii-sama?

That woman wanted to bet my fingers.

In other words, she wouldn't be bothered even if she lost.

To put pressure on the opponent and fight under even conditions,

This is the only way.

Being fully devoted to the match-

That's what Ice K is.

He seemed unsettled when he saw those fingers.

But now he has fully returned to being calm-

Despite betting his own finger.

It makes sense.

He has what it takes to be a rep player at his young age.

An amusing kid!

A dora?

Riichi.

Don't call it.

Don't be restless.

You're distracting me.

He was going to call that 7m.

And he already dropped the dora before.

He wanted to stop your Ippatsu.

Even if it broke up his own hand.

I-it started again!

That!

Shall I read that Riichi?

Feel free.

First of all, thinking of calling 7s, but not doing that and dropping 9s-

Means you wanted to call a 789 shape.

You were going for Ittsuu on sou tiles, but then changed course.

You have lots of lower sou tiles in your hand.

And then, K-kun-

You tried to call the dora 7m too.

Even having 2 dora, you still cut one of them.

In other words, you got one sequence with a dora in it.

A 567, I suppose?

Calling Riichi after giving up on 4-7m wait-

You were prioritizing Ron win over Tsumo.

A hand that doesn't drop in value even after cutting the dora-

And with a wait that's easier to win.

In other words, the wait is on the sou tiles that remained from the Ittsuu.

A 1-4-7s wait.

A pair wait Ron on 1s-

It's a Riichi targeting a completion of 567 Sanshoku.

How is that?

This is it.

This reading got Jii-sama!

Riichi.

With this, you get Riichi and one dora.

2,600.

Take it if you want.

I'll win by Tsumo.

Is that so?

Ron.

Riichi, Ippatsu, Closed Honitsu, Red, Sanankou.

Oh!

Sorry, it's three ura.

It's 24,000.

Looks like you hit exactly 0 points.

That's no good, K-kun.

You gotta play more thoroughly.

You've bet a finger after all.

Well, even if you do play thoroughly, you will still lose it.

No one can beat these eyes of mine!

Episode 10

「 Keen Insight 」

Z-zero points?!

In East 2!

If he loses he has to give up a finger!

That's a beautiful finger.

I can't wait!

But this sure was a great pick up!

Yes.

There was talk of a woman winning a lot at the third shop.

We tried asking her to rep for us, and she agreed right away.

That was lucky!

We'll make K unable to recover as well!

Even having no tenpai is enough to bust and end!

What is he gonna do?

You still aren't tenpai, are you?

Then this is fine too.

Pressure Riichi.

Also called-

Finger-cutting Riichi!

A safe tile.

He is folding and staying on the lookout.

But K sure is calm!

He seems no different from the usual!

On the surface, yes.

I see!

This kind of carnage

is no issue?

But you see,

to me, it's obvious.

Just now, you bent your hand.

You really didn't want to drop that 8m, did you?

Perhaps you held an East and chickened out?

Ron.

Riichi only.

The finger!

It's almost like he couldn't decide if to push or fold!

He is wavering, or rather-

He is losing to her pressure!

Serves you right, shitty brat!

Got one finger!

Alright now,

Let's discuss it now.

In the next hanchan,

I will bet the finger I just won.

If you accept this match-

Bet another finger!

If you give up, I will take your finger right away.

But if you accept, I will hold off cutting it off until the end.

Isn't that great, kid?

If you win, your finger won't get cut off.

Nee-san is so nice!

So that's what it is!

I can't step back under these conditions.

Repeating this,

Matsumoto-san lost all his fingers!

I accept.

Is that so?

No mistake about it.

These eyes-

Can read everything!

The tiles, and the soul!

The slightest movements of my fingertips.

The tile draw rythm.

The breathing.

Everything about my existence becomes information.

I should treat everything as a tell.

If so-

I have to become ice!

Even colder and harder!

The 5m just now-

I intended to show no reaction.

But to this person-

If that's the case, I should try Tsumo over Ron.

Riichi.

Oh, you gave up on Sanshoku?

Indeed, she read it.

No good.

I need to get even colder.

It's not wrong.

If I Tsumo, everything is OK.

A chasing Riichi.

It's a Riichi where there is no risk of dealing in.

It sure is easy.

Don't be led astray.

Stay calm.

It's fine.

I can win this round.

Ron.

Riichi, Ippatsu, Tanyao, one dora.

8,000.

This one can't be helped.

It's fine.

Stay calm.

Stay cold.

Ro-on.

2,600.

Tsumo.

2,000/4,000.

Ron.

Ron.

Oy, K!!

Alright now, K-kun.

Let's discuss it now.

For the next hanchan-

I'll bet this finger and the finger from before-

A total of two fingers.

If you also bet two fingers, I'll hold off cutting them off for now,

I accept.

Sorry about that, kid.

300/500.

It's the end.

What's up with that, so anti-climatic!

So it's my win again?

How is this possible?!

K is-

On a 3-loss streak?!

With this I got 4 fingers.

Now, K-kun.

Let's go for the last match.

Bet all six remaining fingers!

I'll bet your four fingers and 20 million!

If you don't want to, we'll cut your four fingers right now.

Now, what will you do?

Hey now!

That finger is already mine!

Don't dirty it!

If I lose the next one, I lose ten fingers.

I won't be able to play mahjong anymore.

My life will be over!

If so-

Should I step back here?

Right now I can get away with only losing four!

If I cover it up as an accident,

then somehow-

No, that's no good!

Even if I can deceive the people around me,

I can't trick Amina!

If she finds out I lost such a dangerous match,

Amina's heart will completely drift away from me!

This time, I will be the one thrown away!

Just like they threw him away on that day!

I have to do it!

I have to win!

I'll do it.

Is that so? Then it's decided.

Do I Riichi right away?

Or do I keep it hidden and wait?

No, she probably read it already.

If I can only Tsumo anyways-

I'll push!

Riichi!

So you think you just need to Tsumo?

You really are panicking, K-kun!

Kan.

Maybe I should have called Riichi too.

12,000.

What, it's the same pattern again?

This brat really doesn't learn!

I'll go make a call to the boss.

Even though I didn't need to push so desperately!

It's over for me too..

Don't run away!

After watching from behind, I'm sure of it now.

The true nature of Ice K!

That is-

Fear!

Your ice is not a sword to stab the opponent, but a shield!

You are just fighting with a shield!

So that's how it is.

I.. was afraid.

Attacking, and being read.

Even when pushed to the brink,

I could stay calm,

Because I was too scared to accept the situation!

I was just hiding behind the shield of ice,

And deceiving myself!

Even when I got Amina on that day-

I thought the thrill that was Amina-

Would make my shield stronger,

Would help me!

But that is-

All of it is-

Running away!

The reason I got read by this person-

Is not something surface-level like having tells.

Riichi.

My everything-

Even the depth of my heart was read!

Don't run!

It's fine to fold.

It's fine to fold!

However!

Don't run away!

A broken thermometer,

A 34 degree fever

Where is the remaining heat?

Where do the peaceful days go?

As we get lost, let's dance

As we dance, let's go crazy

Throwing away the safe tiles,

Choosing the serpent's path

Woo! Woo! Woooo!

Woo! Woo! Woooo!

Knowing love is painful and itchy,

Can't keep up the poker face

A vague sillhouette, what time does the clock show?

That one, that one-

That one I can't know

Grabbing chance by the tail, but it slips through

But I still chase it - Reach my dream

Ah, living in a heartless miniature garden-

There!

It's my win!
