The Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament.

The first round of the finals has started.

All Japan Mahjong Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

The first match.

The gallery is too chatty!

Seven Pairs Prince, so what?

I have more serious issues than that.

To think that I would meet him here.

The only man who managed to look down on me-

Today, I'll surpass his eyes for sure!

F R O Z E N T I L E

Welcome!

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!

He looked at it.

To me, it's clear.

During my childhood full of sexual abuse by my father,

I had always lived while watching my parents' expressions.

With that, I eventually found out -

Intentions are reflected in the eyes!

Moreover, I noticed -

For competitions like this, this power is supreme!

Other than my recently discarded Green,

The Seven Pairs Prince also looked at K-kun's 2s discard.

At the very least, he has pairs of the Green and 2s.

If so-

It's better to give up on Sanshoku.

It's a shame about the dora,

But let's grow into Pin tiles instead.

He looked at 3s too!

Now I see.

So he does consider options other than Chiitoitsu.

If I just look at the discards, K-kun seems to have a fast hand.

The wait seems to be 1-4p, but-

He didn't look at 4p that Seven Pairs Prince discarded.

In other words,

Even if he does have tenpai,

His wait is something else.

I can do it!

RIICHI!

He didn't look at it!

It's just as I thought!

He probably still doesn't have tenpai.

The fact that you considered calling 3s-

Means that the Sou tiles in your hand are most likely-

A 122 shape.

Repeat

You thought about calling Chi on the dora and then calling the second Green.

If so-

The play he will go for is-

RON!

Riichi Ippatsu and one Ura.

5,200.

Note: He is in pinfu tenpai with 1-4p wait for 1,000.

With this, I'm one step ahead.

And next is my dealer turn that I reached by winning.

Repeat

1st Dealer

Pon.

It's a Pon.

He peeked at it!

A 3-6-9p wait!

I got it!

Riichi!

Ron!

Eh?

Your eyes are scary as usual.

Ai-san,

Chinitsu Toitoi.

12,000.

He doesn't have the East!

K-kun definitely looked at the East!

Then why?

That East..

Perhaps K-kun just didn't expect it to come out and was surprised?

I guess so.

I just misread it!

My eyes are absolute.

Nobody can deceive them!

He looked at it!

This time he didn't.

He looked again.

Loo-

-ooked?

Riichi!

So after all-

It wasn't my misunderstanding.

That was K pretending to look and deceiving me!

I see.

So I-

Can't see his eyes anymore!

Again!

I got tricked by a man again!

C-can't see.

Can't see it!

HA!

What happened to this guy in the last few months?

Amazing!

Can't see!

So scary!

My trauma? How cute!

Amazing!

Excuse me..

I'm alright.

I will discard now.

No idea what's good to discard anymore though.

So amazing..

You really are amazing.

Thanks to you I made up my mind.

This is exactly why-

I must surpass you!

And when I do, for the first time,

I'll be able to cast away all of my past and fears.

I challenge you!

Do-

Dora?!

It-

Passed?

I-

I'm getting wet!

Now, Prince-

Call it!

I cut this dora here specifically-

To not let you fold!

CHI!

Watch this, K-kun.

I too made some progress since then.

Kan!

The mahjong where I don't only watch-

I'll show it to you!

An open kan?

There is a Riichi, so what is she thinking?

The 2m that K-kun called Riichi on-

The Prince definitely looked at it.

Then, right here!

CHI!

How's that, K-kun?

Even if I can't see your eyes,

I still have my means of fighting!

RON!

Dealer Baiman!

24,000!

By using my eyes, manipulating the Prince is easy!

Yes.

After all, I'm..

The queen!

Have a good look at it, K-kun.

Exchanging points is not only done with direct hits.

There is this way of stealing the points too!

Prince,

I definitely saw it.

The relief reflected in your eyes.

You were relieved that the North passed just now, right?

Which means..

You have a North in your hand.

Riichi.

Good boy.

RON!

Riichi, Ippatsu, North and one dora.

Mangan!

No way!

Did she read that Suzuki-pro had North in his hand,

And target him?!

Tsumo!

2,000/4,000.

That's good.

Keep earning points like that, Prince-sama.

However!

Ron.

Thank, you, Prince-sama.

Riichi, Ittsuu and one dora!

12,000!

Do you get it, K-kun?

Even if you can deceive my eyes,

You still can't run away from me!

It seems she only has eyes for this boy.

She is so skilled, so why?

To be honest,

He doesn't seem to be that great of a player.

This starting hand is so bad!

If you go for anything, it's Chiitoitsu?

Now then.

What will you do, the youngest one?

South

Repeat

Ai

Suzuki-pro

Shimocha

K

Pon.

Pon.

He is calling like an idiot -

Just what is he trying to do?

That observer guy's eyes changed.

Damn K-kun!

You are planning something, aren't you?

I guess I'll have the Prince move again.

Pon!

Just like that!

Ron!

Toitoi only.

3,200, so 3,800.

This ended my dealer turn, but it's for the best.

Not letting K gain points is the first priority.

I was surprised when he just kept drawing 5s repeatedly.

But as expected, the yaku-less tenpai was as far as it went.

How did he even make it to the final round?

Pon!

Just two rounds left!

I'll finish it off quickly like this!

R-

Ron!

Ron!

It's a Ron!

Red only.

1,000 points!

This makes the point gap 23,700.

Next is All Last!

I'm cumming!

Ah!

Here.

The 1,000 points.

All Last.

K

Suzuki-pro

Ai

Shimocha

The dealer is K.

The dora is 7m.

K-kun is the dealer.

A Haneman Tsumo is enough to take the first place.

If he gets a direct hit on me, a Mangan is enough.

Should be fine if I don't let him get repeats.

But my opponent is the Ice K.

It won't be easy to escape.

No!

I mustn't think of escaping!

I must go for the win!

K-kun's discards are impossible to read for now.

The old man is trying for a comeback.

Honitsu or Junchan.

Junchan(taiyaochuu) - hand consistign of only terminal sequences and triplets ("Fully Outside")

If I'm going for the win,

A flexible shape that doesn't require Riichi is best.

Then-

For a sequence-type hand-

This woman!

She has no intention of running away.

A strong-willed queen indeed!

But-

Will it really work out that well?

In this round..

My prediction is that Suzuki-pro holds the advantage, but-

Episode 15

「 Queen 」

He got it!

The dora!

W-why?

Could it be-

He is going for a pair-type hand from here?

The tiles-

Almost like-

They come as if they have been promised!

So this is the Seven Pairs Prince!

The Seven Pairs Prince -

That nickname is not just for show.

He can read the table's quirks!

The automated mahjong tables are not all the same.

The operating conditions,

The degree of deterioration-

This does lead to individual differences, even if small.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

Some tables get worse at shuffling the tiles.

On such tables-

On such tables-

On such tables-

What will happen if you keep going for pairs and triplets?

The deviation will create more deviation.

The deviation will create more deviation.

The deviation will create more deviation.

The deviation will create more deviation.

The deviation will create more deviation.

The deviation will create more deviation.

Yes, this is no coincidence!

This is a pre-determined pair-favoring board created by Suzuki-pro!

So he won't Riichi?

Chiitoi and two dora-

He can overtake with a direct hit.

Is that why he went with hidden tenpai?

Suzuki-pro

Ai

But why 5s?

I think 1p would be a better wait-

Why this shape?

Faster-

I need to get tenpai fast too!

Pon!

I caught up.

Tenpai with kanchan wait for 3s.

With this, somehow-

Hm?

The Prince-

He rejoiced a little about my call.

And then he definitely checked the wall.

He didn't just look at it-

He checked it!

Riichi.

Riichi call discarding the dora that he just drew!

Why at this timing?

Just what is there in this wall?

It's the moment when his draw order shifted to the top row.

So the Seven Pairs prince was going for this after all.

However-

If that trick two rounds ago was his set up for this time-

In this tournament,

Open Riichi is allowed, right?

Eh?

No-no, it's not.

It's up to you to open the hand,

But it will be treated as just showing your tiles, so Ron won't be allowed.

I see.

If it's like that, then I can win.

Eh?

Riichi!

Kanchan wait for 5s!

Open?!

Oh?

Thanks for that!

If I know that I can't deal in,

I'll call Chi on that dora!

At that time,

The Prince showed a very disappointed look.

And so, I figured it out-

This Open was to allow a safe Chi.

I see.

The Prince knew this.

I get it.

Now, I get it too.

That dora-

To discard it at that timing for a call-

K held it until then on purpose!

For the time when the silly me would get impatient and make a call.

Yes.

K didn't want to draw from the bottom row.

And the Prince wanted the top row draws as well.

If he could, the Prince wanted to avoid calling Riichi too.

But in the last round,

K-kun dealt in 1,000 to me and widened the point gap.

So he had no choice but to Riichi!

In other words-

That deal-in was on purpose too!

This automated table builds the walls from the bottom.

Two rounds ago,

The tiles that he forcefully collected-

3s,

5s,

and 7s-

and 7s-

He dropped those tiles inside slightly later than everyone else.

Into this table, that doesn't shuffle well.

It's completely obvious.

When I and K were drawing from the top row-

The 3s and 7s kept coming to our hands.

I am just a small queen who was content with manipulating just one prince.

He went far above that-

The emperor who controls and moves everything!

Tsumo.

6,000 all.

It's over.

I see.

So 5s did line up in the top row.

So it is possible to create a pair-favoring board at will.

Is this-

The true nature of Seven Pairs Prince?

I wonder.

What a kid!

The pair road that the Prince worked hard to create-

In the end, he just drove on it in a sports car.

Without a doubt,

It's the game logic from the underworld.

That age,

Those cold eyes -

There is no mistake.

Hmph!

In this case, managing the tournament this year may get very fun too!

The first match has ended.

The battle proceeded into the second and the third matches.

And K is on a three match win streak!

So this is Ootsuji.

Just what kind of mahjong does he play?

South seat

Ootsuji

Maekawa

Dojima

Doujima-san-

Can't get higher than third place even with a Baiman Tsumo.

To get second place,

He needs a direct hit Haneman on Ootsuji.

But anyways, he seems really agitated.

Did something happen?

For Ootsuji to get first place,

He needs a 1,000/2,000 Tsumo.

Or a 5,200 Ron.

Now then.

Which way will the waves face?

Here it comes!

It's Chuuren Poutou if he wins on 1m!

Chuuren Poutou - the yakuman hand that consists of 1112345678999 tiles plus any other tile in the same suit (Nine Gates).

Die!

What's Ootsuji's hand?

A tenpai!

He has to cut 1m or 6m.

If he cuts 1m, it's 32,000.

Even if he cuts 6m, it's 16,000.

Either way, he will get overtaken!

Ootsuji is in checkmate!

5m?

W-why?

Ron.

1,500.

An intentional deal-in?!

Despite having the tenpai to overtake the first place!

Oooh,

What's up,

Is it frustrating?

Did you have a comeback Chuuren ready or something?

Oh?

Ooh?

Frustrating?

Of course it's frustrating!

I wonder what your next draw was, son?

Let's take a look!

I am Doujima.

Of course it was a winning tile.

After his pace was disturbed on that day,

Doujima dropped to last place in the fourth - the last - match.

His ranking is 15th.

Ai.

Rank 6.

Ootsuji.

Rank 3.

Two players with 4 wins.

One of them is Maekawa.

Rank 2.

And the other player with 4 wins -

Tsumo.

The first rank,

K!

And so,

The curtain falls on the first round.

Customers aren't coming.

It's a weekday today,

Just close the shop already.

Right,

K-sama?

You bitch!

Ever since the first round ended, you keep coming every day!

Even after cutting off Matsumoto-jii-sama's fingers!

Do you have no shame?!

That was an even and serious match.

Outsiders have no right to talk.

K-sama~

Let's close the shop quickly,

And go for the afterparty today!

Hey!

K is studying up for the second round now!

If you're such a hindrance, just go away!

Oh my,

But it's the four-wins first-rank K-sama!

He will obviously be fine!

That intentional deal-in.

Ootsuji's aim was-

Not to win.

But to not let win.

I can understand the logic.

However,

That 5m was just overwhelmingly strong!

Can I win?

Can I win against him?

Damn, this is one small parlor!

I'm going to play.

F R O Z E N

T I L E

F R O Z E N

T I L E

The light at the depths of despair.

The eyes that shine within the darkness.

The pain racing with your pulse.

The proof that you are alive.

The clock hand, again and again,

Never going back, again and again,

All these times I had regrets-

Made me stronger, as I now understand.

Surely-

The fate is tumbling dice!

Pull me closer now, at this moment!

Fully resolved, tumbling dice!

To live means to bet everything!

The pride of having lived-

Is the trump card that causes miracles.

No matter how lonely,

Don't look away,

And cast-

The tumbling dice of life!

The tumbling dice of living!
