"If it had been possible I wonder... would things have turned out any differently?" "WELCOME TO ROUND 4" "I had been ignorant all along..." "I had failed to see the true meaning behind that awful game seeped in lies and greed." "it was back then that the wheel of fate began to turn once more..." "NAO-CHAN!" "Surprise!" "isn't it?" "Don't tell me you actually believed there was a Round 4!" "Nao-chan!" "Times slipped on a banana peel: 18" "You're getting close!" "I'll never split another watermelon for the rest of my life."

"A package was delivered to my door one day" "I found 1 hundred million yen" "I found myself caught inside a terrible game that focused on stealing that money from your opponents." "My opponent for the 1st Round..." "No way...!" "Fujisawa." "We've got to look out for each other!" "I believed my teacher because of his kindness... did I pull a fast one on her!" "I lost the entire hundred million." "I was scared out of my senses." "I came to hear about a certain person... and decided to seek his help." "And that person was..." "Shinichi Akiyama. was able to take back the money I lost to my teacher." "But the game didn't end there..." "You are invited to Round 2" "The game we shall have you play... is--!" "Minority Rule you really are..." "A COMPLETE IDIOT!" "That's where I first met the conniving Mr. Fukunaga." "Fukunaga you lose." "I lost that 2nd round entitled the Downsizing Game." "this game is in the hands of one person- -Nao Kanzaki." "Whether you people live or die is all up to her! I somehow managed to win." "that's how I ended up in Round 3." "it was the "Contraband Game." "I'm psychic." "a pyramid scheme.]" "Mr. Yokoya was the person in charge of a large MLM the same company that cornered Mr. Akiyama's mother into committing suicide." "YOKOYA!" "Mr. Akiyama gave way to anger and lost himself during the round." "Me?" "LOSE?" "This isn't happening!" "Mr. Akiyama forgave Yokoya" "And secured our victory." "Mr. Akiyama was introduced to the person who had organized the game." "I am responsible for organizing the LIAR GAME. such as why this game existed in the first place." "Shortly thereafter... without saying a single word." "That was fun!" "'kay?" "and I haven't received any other notices about the LIAR GAME." "I will!" "Thank you so much for today!" "Yes...that nightmare was over." "I'm back to living the peaceful life I once had before that awful game ever began." "Not again!" "I won't fall for that trick twice!" "N-no..." "Yes!" "You can't get away from this game." "Nothing had ended." "In reality a game where you deceive your opponents." "how can this be?" "I want to get out!" "You're out of luck." "Stupid!" "You..."

"I take it that even you can't contact him at all." "he's probably not coming back and plans to stay out of the game." "But how about you?" "Are you really okay with leaving things like this?" "Eh?" "Things are only going to get rougher from here out and that means more innocent players will pay the price." "Are you willing to leave them behind?"

"That's right-- we only collect 100 million back... this game awards each of you with a bonus 50 million yen." "You serious!" "?" "please keep in mind that this money is the property of your Kingdom let's say the Kingdom of Moon's Vanguard wins 100 million yen." "their center-field and general lose despite their best efforts."

"WELCOME TO ROUND 4" "I get it." "You pushed his buttons to get him back on." "But the bigger mystery is why those two care about this game so much." "I know you're looking forward to it." "To what?" "When the "red apples" gather together..." "You don't mean--!" "Cut the shit!" "Why do I have to be on the same team as this moron!" "?" "now the other's a chick?" "You picked the wrong" "Calm down."

"S-sorry..." "Okay...so...the places I chose to have bullets loaded were..." "It's pointless!" "There's no way to tell!" "is something the matter?" "I'll shoot. the odds of me hitting a bullet are 6/23" "It'll be okay." "The odds are really slim of hitting a bullet." "Ms. Kanzaki has just died." "50 chips-- must be payed to Mr. Nishida." "I just lost 50 million." "I have to do something...have to find a way to win... sadly..." "I failed to figure out any sort of trick or strategy to win." "As a result..." "Here are the results of our rehersal. we would have lost somewhere in the ballpark of 200 million yen." "the game ends. the game continues until the final bullet is fired." "Will will begin the actual game shortly." "Would all players aside from each team's Vanguard please leave the game area?" "each team is given one time-out per battle in which to discuss strategy." "Be sure to use it wisely." "I wasn't able to be of any use to Mr. Fukunaga..." "Not true." "This rehearsal was anything but worthless... we gained more than enough knowledge to win." "What...how...?" "isn't this game just a game of luck?" "Not exactly... the LIAR GAME... a game where you cheat to win..." "Cheat?" "!" "Yes...and this game... can definitely be won." "Can definitely be won?" "How can you be so sure about a game of luck?" "why are you assuming this game is purely luck?" "it's shuffled." "right? there may be no way to tell where the first bullet is loaded... see?" "it's shuffled!" "not if you load the bullets in a certain way... load them a special way?" "13... you load them back-to-back." "Eh...? you pass immediately on the next turn. you'll know it's not the bullets you loaded." "you'll know they're yours too." "Wow!" "This is the perfect trick!" "Yep." "you'll be able to avoid getting shot with your 2nd and 3rd bullet." "This alone puts you at a tremendous advantage." "too?" "then..." "Doesn't matter." "Eh?" "that's what we want." "And why's that...?" "this game...has one other trick we can exploit." "another trick...?" "what do you... the game of 24-Shot Russian Roulette..." "Begins now!" "We'll talk later." "There were no overlapping selections." "we will commence the game with your selections." "I will now shuffle the gun." "The shuffle is complete." "Now to see who goes first." "the first turn goes to you." "Uh...o-okay!" "Heh...this guy's shaking in his boots!" "I'll bet he's too chicken to pull the trigger...and this game's as good as mine!" "Ah!" "Pass!" "Huh!" "?" "Mr. Nishida... your move." "What the heck was that "Ah!" about...?" "I pass." "PASS!" "The heck...?" "He passed without stopping to think!" "right?" "just in case..." "I'll pass again." "Mr. Fukunaga. yes?" "I'll shoot." "Huh!" "?" "AAAAAAAAAAAH!" "And Mr. Fukunaga wins the chips on the table for the Kingdom of Sun!" "Mr. Fukunaga's got courage!" "It's not about courage... didn't I?" "this game hides one other trick... it's your turn now." "completely!" "want to hear something neat?" "I can tell..." "EXACTLY WHERE THE BULLETS ARE!" "EH!" "?" "!" "completely!" "want to hear something neat?" "I can tell..." "I KNOW WHERE THE BULLETS ARE!" "EH!" "?" "!" "No way!" "Huh!" "?" "He knows where the bullets are!" "?" "I-impossible!" "I checked this gun over and over you can't identify the bullets!" "There's no way!" "He's full of it!" "Want me to say it one more time?" "I can tell... exactly where the bullets are!" "P-pass!" "Your move." "A-ha!" "I think I'll pass too!" "W-what the hell...was that "a-ha!" "?" "No way...there's no way he can really tell...!" "?" "P-pass!" "Me too!" "wait..." "I think I'll shoot." "NOOOOOO!" "Eh~~~~~~~~~!" "?" "AAAAAAAAAAH!" "Mr. Fukunaga scores once again!" "wait...why..." "HOW!" "?" "!" "It's simple." "I can see the bullets." "You can't." "That's all there is to it." "What's going on!" "?" "It's exactly as he said." "He really knows where the bullets are." "your move." "Paff." "so pass~" "Soon?" "anytime soon?" "What the heck does that mean?" "Hey...why don't you muster up the courage and shoot?" "y'know?" "I'm not falling for that!" "Pass!" "then I'll shoot!" "Huh!" "?" "GAAAH!" "...and the table's chips goes to Mr. Fukunaga." "Amazing...but how?" "Like I said..." "This Russian Roulette isn't pure luck." "What do you mean?" "Is this about that other trick you mentioned before?" "Uh-huh." "The key is...sound." "Sound?" "Didn't you notice?" "it gave off an uneven sound." "Now that you mention it..." "Yeah...it sounded like it was crooked..." "Can you guess why?" "its center of gravity was shifted." "Did you notice how the dealer shuffles the cylinder by letting it stop on its own? the influence of gravity would lead the cylinder to stop in a position with the heaviest side down." "think back to the during the rehearsal... and 19 before the game began." "But accounting for gravity... the area with the most bullets ended up facing downward." "that may have just been a coincidence." "No...because I confirmed it." "Eh?" "I went over and took the gun to try a shuffle myself." "of course." "And guess what?" "It stopped in exactly the position I expected." "that gun was clearly influenced by the effects of gravity." "so that's why you told me which chambers to pick at the start of the game?" "23..." "Mm-hm." "Fukunaga loaded the gun with 3 consecutive bullets. the center of gravity is guaranteed to be off." "...and that would bring the cylinder to a stop with the bullets' side down." "it would be highly unlikely any bullets are loaded in the first quarter of the game." "so no wonder Mr. Fukunaga could act so tough!" "but that's assuming the enemy team did load the gun that way." "There's no guarantee that they... there is." "How can you be so sure?" "Because I told them to..." "Huh!" "?" "I see...we just need to load 3 bullets back to back..." "Did you hear that!" "?" "and they fell right for it... without a doubt." "you went that far to set up the game...?" "This is the LIAR GAME... what else were you expecting?" "GRAAAH! pal!" "Mr. Fukunaga took overwhelming lead of the game..." "Ka-ching!" "While Mr. Nishida couldn't bring himself to shoot." "Mr. Fukunaga wins for the 6th consecutive time." "Come to papa!" "taking chip after chip..." "Unbelievable..." "Mr. Fukunaga's in complete control..." "Not quite." "The real trouble...starts here." "The first 6 shots were undoubtedly blank... so Fukunaga had nothing to worry about." "But not so anymore..." "The risk that he'll hit a bullet has just shot up exponentially." "neither will Nishida." "Whether he can get him to pull the trigger... is all up to Fukunaga's skills." "the game took an unexpected turn..." "He's lost it!" "I'll shoot!" "Mr. Nishida has just died." "50 million is awarded to the Kingdom of Sun." "Woah... you actually did it." "I can't believe it...you... STUPID IDIOT--!" "please?" "which means isn't it}" "Cre~~~am So~~~ da~~~!" "would you like one?" "Time out!" "The Kingdom of Moon has just called for time." "We will take a 5 minute break." "Mr. Fukunaga!" "What just happened!" "?" "All according to plan!" "How in the world did you get him to shoot!" "?" "I planted a tiny little..." "TRAAAAAP! I got the impression the center of gravity was way off." "the bullets were really close together." "That's why I figured I could take a change and still pull the trigger on shots 7 and 8." "I'll shoot!" "Wah!" "I laid a trap..." "I'm shooting!" "a thought crossed my mind that Fukunaga was really looking at something." "So I took one more hard look at the gun... and I found something unbelievable...!" "what the...!" "?" "there are 2 sets with 3 consecutive markings each...?" "could it!" "?" "No wonder Fukunaga was so confident all this time..." "I'll be safe!" "that's gotta be it!" "I'm safe for a few more shots!" "Finally!" "I finally figured out his trick!" "So that's why he laughed like crazy?" "Bingo!" "And that's why he pulled the trigger with excitement!" "His face was one for the picture-books!" "um...what exactly were those markings?" "This!" "A pencil?" "The same one we were given to mark the page at the start of the game." "When you take it and do like this..." "See?" "Hah!" "It looks like gunpowder!" "right? which is why he jumped to the conclusion that this stood for where the bullets were loaded!" "we will now resume the game." "the Vanguard battle... is guaranteed to be ours!" "All right!" "I'm off!" "Take care!" "Will do!" "Mr. Fukunaga?" "Pass!" "Mr. Nishida?" "we had an amazing lead." "we were guaranteed to win." "But..." "Oh no..." "What's the matter?" "I happened to realize it then." "It might be... that we're about to make a terrible mistake!" "Mistake?" "that is." "No way." "This early in the game?" "Yes." "there's nothing she can do about it." "I was right..." "Mr. Akiyama!" "We're going to be in big trouble!" "What are you talking about?" "This is a trap!" "Pass!" "If Mr. Fukunaga continues the game like this... then all of us... will lose for sure!" "That's right..." "We were walking right into a terrible trap!"
