Sky blue ceiling above you

The rates keep piling up

Let's start dancing above

Those shivering thrills!

Those shivering thrills!

Let's look for a way out

As you squirm through the discard pile

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!

Life only shines when it's at stake!

All or nothing, every gambler's greatest dream!

Amina still sleeps in the closet.

It seems she has always slept in cramped places.

And that is why -

I made sure to never peek inside the closet.

I considered it her personal space.

But-

If only I found it earlier!

TL Note - aka Wilms' tumor, a cancer of the kidneys.

The disease is called nephroblastoma.

A genetic malignant tumor in the kidneys that develops at birth.

It has already progressed to the final stage.

A kidney transplant is the only way to save her.

Of course, she has no blood relation to her fake documented parents.

We'll have to search for another donor.

But-

There is no time to stay on the waiting list.

If Amina doesn't get a transplant right away,

She will die in one month.

K-

Please-

I beg you!

Don't throw me away!

I definitely won't abandon Amina.

I'll definitely save her.

I've had the resolve to drop to hell for a long time now.

I don't care how many people have to die for this.

I want Amina to get the best kidneys with highest priority and the best surgeons.

Can I ask you for this?

It's impossible.

It's not a question of money.

Sorry, but this matter-

There is no "impossible" for yakuza, right?

Takatsu-san.

Maybe we can do something if we get the "roster".

TL note: "roster" as in "names list".

The "roster"?

The one Ootsuji mentioned?

If my read is correct-

That "roster" is a magic item that makes the impossible possible.

If we get our hands on it-

Amina will be saved!

For that, you need to win the Ryuu-Ou-I tournament.

Against that Ootsuji.

It doesn't matter who my opponent is-

I'll definitely win!

No-

I'll get it even if I have to kill for it!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

The second round of Ryuu-Ou-I tournament.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

On this day, four hanchan will be played.

The points from the first round and this round will be added up.

And the top four players-

And the top four players-

Will advance to the true finals - the Ryuu-Ou-I decider match.

Psychogenic visual impairment?

TL Note: Punished Doujima

To put it simple, it was stress.

I got so angry that I lost sight.

So it's not an injury,

but a disease?

But a cure for it-

Is simple and clear!

It's revenge!

I'll kill whoever stands in my way!

On this day, Doujima was the one to greatly improve his placement in two hanchan.

From rank 15 that he got in the first round, he rose to rank 7.

Tsumo!

After Ai held on to second place in the game against Doujima,

In the second hanchan-

Suuankou!

Her total rank

Her total rank

Her total rank

Her total rank

Her total rank

Went from 6th to 4th.

I somehow made it

into the top four.

But the match isn't over yet.

I'll be the true queen and get the last laugh!

Speaking of it-

How is my emperor doing?

What now?

His opponent is Maekawa-pro?

Rank 1 and rank 2 from the first round ended up at the same table.

His points are 25,400.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

You.

Explain the situation.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

Quickly.

It's All Last right now.

Yamamura-pro is the last dealer in fourth place.

How is K-kun?

He is in second right now.

He was first until just now,

But he got hit by Chiitoitsu.

K-kun did?

So a Mangan is enough to overtake,

And he has dora 4m as a closed triplet.

Chi.

With this he has Iishanten for Tanyao and three dora.

TL Note: One tile away from Tenpai.

This might go smoothly.

Riichi.

Maekawa-pro calls Riichi in All last!

Making a spectacle, as expected!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

If he calls Pon and cuts 4p or 7p,

He has 2-5m tenpai.

But what will he do?

Tournament

So he didn't Pon?

Well, it's hard to cut 4p and 7p here.

This one is hard to discard too,

He is working around it.

It can't be helped.

Tournament

All he can do is cut safe tiles and change his hand.

Ron.

Riichi Ippatsu Tanyao Iipeiko

Mangan.

Mangan.

Mangan.

Wh- What the hell!

Wh- What the hell!

Wh- What the hell!

From a 334 shape-

He cut the dora 4m?!

He broke down the sequence shape with a dora-

To get this shape specifically?

Because K-kun-

Had the 3444 shape.

He read that K would drop 3m from that and targeted it.

So he got it by 400 points?

K

Yamamura

Sakashita

Maekawa

Wow!

That was a splendid comeback in All Last!

That's Maekawa-pro for you!

As a result of this hanchan,

Maekawa rose to Rank 1.

K dropped to Rank 3.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

It's pretty rough for the youngest one.

He got last place in the end.

I guess his momentum ends here.

No-no, look at his face!

His soul isn't broken yet.

I see.

Looking forward to the next game.

That's wrong.

For some reason, I can see now.

K-kun's eyes show fear.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

Yagi-san.

Are we getting a clear picture yet?

Yea.

Omori-kun.

Including the first round, six hanchan were played.

Three players got first place five times.

Oishi

Suzuki

Goto

Kubo

Hayashi

Murayama

John Madden

Five times?!

Who are those?

Maekawa-pro, Ootsuji and K.

So those three are making it?

That's not certain.

In the past, players who got fourth place twice never made it to top four.

What's up, K-chan?

You are stronger at 31 than mahjong, aren't ya?

I don't feel any resistance!

After South 3, Ootsuji is in first place.

K is in second.

Damn tanuki!

He is trying to throw me off.

But it's useless.

My first priority is to stay in the top four.

South 4

Ootsuji

K

Hasegawa

Miyazaki

Dealer

For that purpose, it doesn't matter if I lose to Ootsuji here.

The necessary condition is to not get fourth here.

Riichi!

The third place 8,900 points behind me called Riichi in All Last.

White pair in his discards.

I can expect it to be a Haneman.

Tournament

Pon ya!

I could cut a Green pair to fold, but-

I need to avoid him dropping me to third place with Tsumo.

What should I do?

A sign?

No way, to me?!

Two..

Five.

A 2-5 wait can be Pin tiles.

Is he telling me to deal in?

Dora is 4p.

Ootsuji has already dropped one.

In other words-

Tournament

Ootsuji's hand is at most Tanyao Sanshoku with one dora, for 5,800.

Tournament

Ootsuji wants the first place,

And I'm okay with second-

And I'm okay with second-

Our interests are aligned!

Ron.

5,800.

Tournament

This is fine.

Holding on to second place-

Is pretty big!

Japan Tournament

Alright, let's go for Repeat 1.

Huh?

Who said I was ending it here?

I get a repeat on my last dealer.

We still have time left, right?

It's okay to continue the game, right?

Yes,

That won't be a problem.

You are in first place, but won't end it?

I really love beating a drowning dog down with a stick.

K-chan.

I'll crush you here!

Episode 17

「 Miscalculation 」

All Last.

Repeat 1.

Dealer

Ootsuji

K

Hasegawa

Miyazaki

The dealer is Ootsuji.

So he went for the repeat.

But I had to do it for us to survive.

This is fine.

I'll ignore the emotions unrelated to the game.

The wait is bad and I have no yaku.

I'll end it here with 7p Tsumo!

Here.

Riichi.

I'll Pon that dora!

7p is completely dead!

That's a good one!

Everyone is tenpai!

That's real fun!

And I drew a safe tile.

This one will pass.

So I keep my tenpai.

This time, at least.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

TL Note: Shonpai - A tile that has not been discarded this round.

And here, a shonpai Red?!

What do I do?

How do I keep my second place?

Shimocha with the dora Pon has at least a Haneman.

The probability of Red dealing in is high!

I can't discard it!

The kanchan wait for 7p is dead.

My winning chance is 0 %.

If I have no shot at winning,

I can only go full fold!

Again?!

So I keep my tenpai.

This time, at least.

Japan Ryuu

So that's what it is!

That statement was-

No good.

I won't be allowed to fold.

He won't allow it!

Deal in to me with 2-5s.

If you don't-

I'll deal in to that Haneman.

You'll end up in third place, K-chan.

If you don't want that,

Deal in to my hand!

If I do that, I won't drop to third or lower.

For us to survive-

I'll lick his boots again!

Ron!

Riichi, Red, and one dora!

Kamicha?

But this tile-

Ootsuji can headbump it!

He doesn't Ron?!

Didn't he have a 2-5s wait?

I messed up!

Ootsuji saw the points and ignored it!

With this, I am locked to third place.

No!

If Red or 1s are the uradora,

It's a Haneman!

If that's the case-

It's the end for me here!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

Now, it's time for the exciting uradora!

Indeed.

Stop it!

10 million..

No!

I'll pay you 50 million!

Just don't check that uradora!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

This brat really got the devil's luck.

I couldn't quite kill you here.

But still, Ice K,

Surely this pressure took a toll on you!

Looks like you started melting.

Sweating?

I am?

I am..

Afraid?

"See you in the finals" - is what I'd like to say, but this might be the end for you.

And so,

Farewell!

Ron!

2,600.

It's decided!

Defeating Maekawa-pro-

All the third games have ended.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

The top two players are almost guaranteed to advance to the finals.

The competition is very high level and close this year.

To enter top four-

Will be difficult without having at least +230 total score-

Is what I think.

Doujima-san is third.

This may as well be decided already.

If so, there is only one seat left.

I'll have to compete with Ai-san.

My table is there.

Oh, we meet again, young lady.

I can't imagine Ai-san going negative.

In the last game-

I absolutely need a first place with lots of points.

My next table is-

Of all things, this guy here!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

K.

Yes?

I got tired of explaining it to everyone every time.

Don't ask about my eye.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

He is just like a wounded lion.

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

He looks even more intense!

But if I don't defeat him, I can't advance.

I have to do it!

Please begin the last game!

Riichi.

I got a hand right away!

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

If I can win this,

It will be a big advantage!

In this last game,

If I get first place,

And Doujima-san ends up in second,

We may both be able to advance to the finals.

For Takatsu-gumi,

That would be the best outcome, but-

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

Will Doujima-san meekly let me win?

Or perhaps-

Tsumo.

Tsumo, West, Iipeiko and one dora.

Mangan!

In this hanchan, it's eat or be eaten.

But even if I get eaten, there is a way to survive.

If I get a 5 point gap on Ai-san,

I have a chance to make it into the final four.

How is she doing?

What's that?

What happened?

Ai-san won?

I'm sorry.

Oh, damn!

7p was my key tile for Sanshoku!

What a silly mistake!

I got the Tsumo.

It's 300/500.

Good enough for a round with a mistake.

If I'm going for second, it's good enough.

No, it's no good!

I'm going for the first place here!

Ron.

6,400.

Two stupid mistakes back-to-back!

Looking at his discards, Chiitoitsu was obvious!

Despite that,

I discarded shonpai Green so lightly!

With this discard,

I dropped to last place.

This is bad!

This flow is bad!

If I get negative points in this game, I can't overtake Ai-san no matter what!

Pon!

2s Chi!

Red-

Pon!

I'll change the flow!

Oh, Tsumo.

700/1,300.

With this, East round is over.

With this, East round is over.

Here comes my South dealer turn.

namen

The fight starts here!

If I don't win on this dealer turn,

It will really and truly be over for us.

Tsumo!

4,000/8,000!

After this I only have 4,900 points left.

Two rounds left.

No dealer turn.

Ron!

8,000!

Doujima-san is in first place.

With 57,300 points.

Second place is Shimocha.

With 28,100 points.

What do I do?

Pon.

Screw it!

If I'm discarding it, it gotta be now!

Pon!

He's going for Daisangen?!

This guy!

So 57,300 points is not enough for him?!

He has no intention to help me get into top four!

I'm sorry.

Pon.

With this, Doujima-san can't get Daisangen.

Honroutou - a hand that consists of only terminal and honor tiles.

This time, he is going for Honroutou?

If he gets it with Honitsu, it's a Baiman!

If I want to overtake him,

I can't let Doujima-san win here no matter what!

My interests are aligned with Kamicha.

I can do the same thing as Ootsuji!

Dora?!

No!

I mustn't call it.

In this round,

Stopping Doujima-san's hand is top priority

This is it!

Chi.

From an 899 shape-

He didn't Pon the dora,

And called Chi on 7s?!

If I Pon the dora, it's a Mangan.

If it's 8,000 points,

I can't expect Kamicha-san to help me out.

However-

If it's Red and one dora, 2,000 points hand-

It will come out!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

Don't mock me!

All Japan Ryuu-Ou-I Tournament

What were you doing right there?

Is that your mahjong?

If you are saying it is, then I'll trample you!

Listen now!

You're still alive!

And your little girlfriend is still alive too.

Then you can still make a comeback.

So stop mocking me,

And struggle until the end!

Don't give up on mahjong!

I s-

I see now.

I was only thinking of running away.

I was obsessed with points and tricks.

And wasn't facing the mahjong straight on!

There was no way I could win like that!

If I really want to win,

I have to believe it!

After all, mahjong is my only-

And my greatest weapon!

I must believe it!

I am Ice K.

I won't lose to anyone!

What's up with that?

It's a huge commotion.

What's the reason?

Well, I've no idea!

This guy suddenly kicked him away!

No.

It was skinship.

Skinship?

Yes.

If the man himself says it, it has to be true.

Continue the match.

Huh, that's allowed?

If Doujima gets disqualified, K is the one to gain the most.

And this K is asking to not disqualify him.

It means the man had something to tell him, even risking the disqualification.

They can settle it with mahjong.

That round-

Was settled with Doujima's chombo.

He paid 8,000 points penalty, and the round was replayed.

Doujima-san.

Thank you very much.

Save the gratitude for after you beat me.
