"The game you are going to play now, is called" "The "Contraband Game"." "That is a team game, where "Water Country"" "and "Fire Country" would contend against each other." "Both Mr. Akiyama and me were put together in "Water Country", but..." "You know..." "I'm a psychic." "Due to Mr. Yokoya's X-ray vision, our team was unable to smuggle money any more." "And then," "Mr. Ono somehow managed to change the tide of the game, but..." "As of now, the ruler of this country is ME!" "From now on, my word is law!" "Mr. Ono..." "But that..." "What the hell are you talking about, Mini-mushroom!" "?" "You don't want your share?" "My share?" "If the team loses, how much you manage to earn becomes crucial." "If you obey me," "I'll share the spoils with you." "Don't overrate yourself like that!" "You'll soon realized that it's best to just do as I say." "Doubt." "100 million." "The inspector has successfully stopped this smuggling attempt." "The 40 million is confiscated." "He stopped them again!" "Right now," "The 10th game has ended." "Each of you started this game with 100 million yen." "500 million in each country, and each player has 400 million in the enemy country," "that is, 2 billion in each country." "In other words, the sum of the enemy's contraband money and a country's acquired money equals to 2.5 billion yen." "We will now announce the current results for both countries." "The total amount of money held inside the countries is, 2.775 billion yen for the "Fire Country", and 2.225 billion yen for the "Water Country"." "We really are trailing behind after all." "I will now announce the individual results of each player." "Hey!" "What about Tsuchida's portion?" "Mr. Tsuchida's 300 million are split equally between the other players of "Fire Country"." "See that?" "The one who earned the most money in Water Country " "Who is it?" "Your humble servant Fukunaga," "I faithfully pledge my allegiance to you, my Lord." "Me too." "And how about you?" "If you want to pledge your loyalty to me, you better start calling me "Master Ono" from now on." "I'll pass." "Ono." "Mr. Ono." "Let's... all work together in this." "Shut up!" "Don't come crying to me later!" "Well, well, Master Ono, let's just ignore those fools!" "Aaah... it's getting to his head." "Scary, isn't it?" "When someone who isn't used to power gets power." "What a pathetic man." "Hoho~ Hoho~ The fellowship of higher beings..." "How SEXY!" "Doubt, 100 million." "I did it!" "The inspector," "Mr. Ono has successfully stopped this smuggling attempt." "Yes!" "Another one down!" "50 million is confiscated." "Keep -- keep -- keep earning!" "Keep -- keep " "You're so stupid." "What would you lose for fawning over that guy a bit?" "In the 11th game," "Mr. Ono managed to foil yet another smuggling attempt, but our team was falling apart." "Really, I respect you so much!" "Domination, huh..." "Domination?" "You know, the Liar Game is really a game of domination." "Seeing Mr. Ono like this," "I remembered what he told me." "Pass." "So in the end... smuggling is impossible, right?" "Oh, here comes the useless pawn." "Well then." "Gotta do inspection and make some money again." "Good luck, Master Ono!" "O-ouch..." "What's up?" "Master Ono?" "Mr. Ono, are you alright?" "My ... stomach started to hurt, all of a sudden." "But what about the inspection?" "I can't." "Huh?" "What?" "I'm sorry... but would you go for me, little Hiromi?" "Eh?" "I need to go to the toilet!" "What the..." "What now?" "How should I know?" "You go, bitch." "Oh, what the hell!" "In the last game, Ono got 50 million from that smuggler, right?" "Yes... and?" "Is there anything special about that?" "I've been thinking about Yokoya's X-ray vision." "I get it now." "Eh?" "You know, Ono's sure win strategy..." "RAW Provider: gryzze" "Timer:" "SacredCultivator" "Translators:" "LanBreak, orichan" "Editor:" "SacredCultivator" "Typesetter/Encoder:" "SacredCultivator" "Special Thanks To: furransu, zeldAIS" "What do you mean?" "How can thinking about Mr. Yokoya's X-ray vision lead you to Mr. Ono's winning strategy?" "It's the same." "Their method to stop everyone from smuggling." "But how exactly?" "Mr. Ono can't see through things, can he?" "Yeah, well..." "Pass." "Pass!" "?" "The smuggler from Fire Country has successfully" "Stu-stu-stu-stu- smuggled 50 million yen." "We really are lost without Mr. Ono, aren't we?" "No." "Ono couldn't have stopped this one either." "Huh?" "You see, he needs some preparation." "Preparation?" "When he gets back, I'm sure he will tell our next smuggler" "to carry some money." "Eh?" "Damnit!" "Just because that idiot didn't go!" "Hey!" "Do you want your share or not?" "Master Ono, Master Ono!" "She made us lose money, you know!" "Master Ono, you're our only hope." "I'll do anything you say!" "Well, Hiromi dear." "Since when did they get so close?" "Then you'll go smuggling next." "What?" "It's your responsibility to take back the money you just gave away." "That's easier said than done..." "This time, you'll be carrying some money." "Don't worry." "This time it's safe to smuggle." "But... how much?" "Well..." "How about 99 million 990,000 yen?" "Huh!" "?" "But that's almost 100 million, Master Ono!" "It'll be okay, don't worry!" "I am never wrong." "Maybe..." "Ono is right." "The Fire Country might have become careless because we quit trying to smuggle anything." "Even if Yokoya were the inspector, think about it, X-ray vision is impossible." "Then what about those stunts of his?" "He's just more observant than ordinary people, that's what I believe." "How about you?" "Eh?" "Uh..." "I think that's very probable." "Then in reverse, it's also probable to deceive him with this." "On this paper I jotted down some techniques to mislead others." "If you follow these instructions closely, you can outwit Yokoya." "But that's impossible." "Anyway." "Read this." "I understand." "Alright!" "99 million 990,000 yen." "Go and smuggle that money!" "You brought some money with you this time huh?" "How stupid of you." "By now you should know that nothing escapes my X-ray vision." "Doubt." "99 million, and 990,000 yen." "Did he... see through it again?" "100 million..." "The inspector failed to guess the right amount." "Water Country has successfully smuggled 100 million yen." "Mr. Yokoya... failed to stop her." "Ms. Hiromi!" "I showed him!" "Well done!" "Beautiful maiden!" "Well done!" "Well done." "But why did you carry 100 million?" "Oh right." "What's with that paper?" "(Smuggle 100 million yen)" "But didn't you say you wrote techniques of deceiving others on this?" "And what's the point of that?" "I already knew Yokoya was going to call doubt for 99 million 990,000 yen." "Huh?" "Right?" "Ono." "It can't be..." "Mr. Ono... you and Mr. Yokoya..." "I..." "I don't know... what you're talking about..." "D-do you have any proof?" "Proof?" "Have a look at the results on the monitor." "Both Yokoya and you got 100 million right at the beginning." "... succeeded in smuggling 100 million yen." "After Yokoya smuggled 100 million past you in the 4th game, he stopped every single one of our attempts to smuggle money past him." "50 million 10,000 yen." "...successfully stopped... 50 million 20,000 yen." "90 million 10,000 yen ...successfully stopped this smuggling attempt." "In total, Yokoya acquired 390 million 40,000 yen." "On the other hand," "Ono also had a winning streak from the 8th round onwards, stopping four smuggling attempts in a row." "In other words..." "He managed to obtain 390 million yen." "It's almost the same..." "Right." "When I realized that, their method of stopping the smuggling attempts became clear to me." "Then..." "Ono's strange behavior told me something." "His... strange behavior?" "Right before the 12th game, his stomach began hurting all of a sudden." "Why did Ono let somebody else do the inspection then?" "Yokoya had offered him a plan that allowed both of them to earn the same amount of money." "Well, obviously," "Yokoya was giving the directions." "But..." "How?" "Most probably, they were sending each other signals from here." "To tell each other how much the next smuggler would carry." "How... how did you find out..." "But then you ran into a problem." "Being cautious of Yokoya's X-ray vision, for a while we kept our trunks empty." "Because of this, in the 10th game, both of you had the same amount of money." "So Yokoya didn't send him a signal!" "And there's more..." "All of a sudden you ordered someone to smuggle." "This time, you'll be carrying some money." "I was suprised, too." "Since Mr. Akiyama told me prior that" "Mr. Ono would order someone to smuggle money." "Ono couldn't get more money, so there was only one way for him to resolve his problem." "He wanted to give money to Yokoya again, so he could get money yourself." "Correct." "And that's why it was easy to carry out a successful smuggling attempt." "All you had to do was put in a little more money than the amount Ono instructed." "That was too easy!" "That bastard Yokoya and... his X-ray vision!" "But..." "Isn't that strange?" "Even if he found out the exact amount from Mr. Ono, he'd be safe if he called doubt for 100 million." "This is also part of Yokoya's aim." "He was precise with his guesses down to 10,000 yen." "Ono, on the other hand, could only judge whether the others were smuggling or not." "Using seemingly different methods like that, only Yokoya's X-ray vision attracted our attention, making it harder to see that Ono was using the same trick." "Furthermore, he demonstrated to us." "His power as a ruler." "We... fell for Mr. Yokoya's plan, right?" "Well then." "How about admitting your crimes honestly now?" "Mini-mushroom." "SOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" "BASTARD!" "He was the one who fed me the plan." "During the 4th game," "How about a collective effort?" "Huh?" "We'll exchange signals of how much... the smugglers will be taking along." "But that's..." "There's no need to hesitate." "The ruler of the Water Country is you." "Mr. Ono." "Domination..." "I wanted the money!" "To pay back the debts and become free..." "Shut the FUCK up!" "Cut it out, all of you!" "If we break up like this, we won't have a chance to win the game." "SORRY!" "I'm really sorry!" "Mr. Ono is already apologizing for what he did." "Players of the Water Country, please choose your next inspector." "I'll go." "From now on, let's stick together." "You should be grateful to her." "Akiyama... listen..." "There's something Yokoya told me, but..." "Fun times are over, huh." "What did you guys do to him?" "Did you hang him?" "Of course not." "We..." "Was that... what you aimed for?" "That we'd fall apart..." "Miss Kanzaki." "Do you remember what I told you about domination?" "A ruler can completely control others." "Or drive them into despair." "Can you hear me?" "Shin'ichi Akiyama." "Can you hear me?" "Shin'ichi Akiyama." "Let me introduce myself again." "In former days," "I was the manager of a MLM." "Yes." "That very MLM, which you destroyed 3 years ago." "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." "Because 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." "Tomorrow..." "A swindler will be... released from prison." "I might have lost my standing in the organization, but there were still people I could use." "Please help me!" "And just as expected, you got caught in the web." "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." "Because of you," "Akiyama's mother..." "The one who drove her to a corner was herself." "And this world." "Eh?" "It's the nature of human beings to betray each other, to hate each other, to deceive each other." "For someone like you, that's a difficult world to live in, huh?" "And that's the reason why the "Liar Game" exists." "When I was managing the MLM," "I saw that over and over again." "When people who were gentle at heart failed to deceive others, they head to their ruin." "You know, people should be honest and sincere." "Regrettable, isn't it?" "Because this way you will surely find happiness." "YOKOYAAAAAA!" "Well." "Currently your team is losing." "Please judge whether I'm smuggling or not." "Maybe I should just tell you." "There's nothing inside." "Don't worry." "Trust me." "Pass." "The smuggler from the Fire Country has successfully smuggled 100 million yen." "Well?" "See how easy that was to drive people into despair." "Miss Kanzaki..." "Nao." "Yokoya!" "YOKOYA!" "Are you resorting to violence now?" "As 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!" "Cease your provocations." "You are hindering the progress of the game." "YOKOYA!" "Mr. Akiyama..." "SHUT UP!" "Shut up..." "I'll leave the next couple of rounds to you." "You'll be hoping for him to come out." "He's lost himself to his emotions, so he should prove an easy target." "But..." "That guy..." "If you don't want to be destroyed, then destroy your opponents." "We will now conduct the 13th game." "We ask the Water Country to choose a smuggler, and the Fire Country to decide on an inspector." "Isn't Yokoya coming?" "Hey!" "Mr. Akiyama..." "Eh?" "The door won't open!" "From now on, no players except for the smuggler and the inspector are allowed" "to enter this room." "But..." "Doubt!" "100 million!" "The inspector has stopped this smuggling attempt." "The 100 million is confiscated." "Mr. Akiyama remained in the inspection room, and he began to be both the inspector and the smuggler by himself." "It was as if he was battling all on his own." "Pass." "However," "Maybe his anger was blinding him," "Why did you do that!" "?" "but none of his judgments were accurate." "Doubt." "Pass!" "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." "Huh?" "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!" "Aw... now he snapped..." "Can't stand watching this?" "Doubt, 100 million yen." "PASS!" "100 million yen, succesfully 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." "100 million yen is confiscated." "Successful." "Confiscated." "Confiscated." "Hey, hey, hey!" "What the hell does he think he's doing!" "?" "Confiscated." "It was painful to watch Akiyama struggle in his anger and hatred, to find that after all I couldn't do anything for him." "Game, set, and match." "Everyone, you did a good job out there." "In the last seven games, you managed to stop all of Akiyama's smuggling attempts." "And on the other hand, all of your smuggling attempts were succesful." "With this, we're ahead of the other team by 2 billion 50 million yen." "We can safely assume that our victory is guaranteed." "Akiyama seems to have realized this as well." "His own defeat..." "What the..." "Right now, the 20th game has ended." "We will now announce the current standings for both countries." "This is..." "How can this be?" "Huh!" "?" "Why are the results like this!" "That guy..." "How did he..." "But all of our smuggling attempts were successful..." "We will now begin the 21st game." "Yokoya, come out." "I'll tell you what's going on here." "I'll destroy you." "Did you enjoy it?" "Was it fun to watch me lose grip on myself, running wild in my anger?" "How unfortunate." "All of that was part of my scheme." "You believed that I had snapped after responding to your provocations, and went on" "Hey!" "to observe me from behind the monitor, but..." "I'll tell you a way to safely get out of this game." "Huh?" "In the meantime," "I joined hands with the other 3 members of your team." "When the three members of the Fire Country were trying to smuggle money, they were really using the cards of our country, withdrawing the money from the Fire Country bank." "And I," "I didn't stop their attempts on purpose." "And when I was smuggling," "I withdrew money from the Fire Country bank with the Water Country cards, and had the three players call doubt." "In other words," "They didn't smuggle anything." "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?" "What's so funny?" "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?" "Of course you know, don't you?" "After the 3rd game, you'll have to return 500 million to the Office." "And so far, you've only obtained" "490 million and 40,000 yen." "This means, you can't return the 500 million." "That's nothing." "I won't let you get even that." "I will stop all of your smuggling attempts." "It's over for you." "You'll end up in debts." "Want to try your X-ray vision on this one?" "If you manage to foil this smuggling attempt, you'll have the 500 million you need." "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 consolation fee of 50 million yen." "Told you, didn't I." "I said it was empty." "Unlike you, I don't need to make stupid lies like that." "Yokoya." "This time," "I'll destroy you." "Mr. Akiyama..." "What does this mean?" "I am the organizer of the "Liar Game"." "What's the purpose of this game?" "Revenge against me?" "What do you understand?" "!" "People don't mind telling lies." "I want to believe."
