"the outcome of this battle 264)}The side who gets these players wins?" "!" "was to be decided by who won over the remaining 4." "stand here." "I want to join Akiyama's group." "but we managed to get Mr. Makizono to stay." "your status?" "Angel!" "He sounds like a real Demon to me!" "Are you calling him a liar!" "?" "Come on." "Akiyama...!" "?" "Okay." "The problem was whether or not Mr. Makizono was a Demon." "264)}Angel?" "Or Demon?" "Going to check my status." "we would lose for sure." "The time for judgment was at hand." "Which is he!" "?" "Demon~" "Four-eyes' an Angel." "Mr. Makizono!" "So he really was an Angel?" "None of our business." "None of our business." "Huh?" "Knock on wood~!" "390)}PERIOD 433)}20 Minutes {\cHFFFFFF}Elapsed" "Hurry up an connect with four-eyes." "Okay!" "Would you do the honor?" "Alright...me too." "Mr. Fukunaga!" "?" "A-are you sure...?" "O~f~cou~rse~!"

"now I have 3 Crosses!" "Mr. Fukunaga!" "I'm so happy you wanted to save him." "Save him?" "As if." "This was for insurance." "Nao-chan!" "No way..." "M-mr." "Fukunaga!" "Yo." "Huh?" "Go double-check your status." "Okay!" "I'm very glad how you agreed to connect to Mr. Makizono." "It wasn't all goodwill... so I connected." "Huh? He would need a minimum of 4 players to make 4 Crosses." "he'd clearly have gone to Katsuragi's side." "he decided to stay." "That alone was a virtual guarantee he was an Angel." "Something wrong?" "You really are kind after all..." "I have a hard time understanding all those complicated details." "right?" "you connected to him." "Wasn't the reason because his words touched your heart?" "I can tell... but you're different from Ms. Katsuragi." "She's cold-hearted... but you're warm." "Warm...? you'd have abandoned me a long time ago." "I refuse to accept that people can't come together without giving into fear or greed!" "I'll win this fight through trust!" "Looks like four-eyes really was an Angel." "So..." "little missy here and four-eyes are the only ones left with 3 Crosses!" "No matter." "We'll just leave them alone to be eliminated here." "Angels with 4 or more Crosses are declared winner."

"We'll take a look at the score report..." "and see how many there really are." "We have plenty of time." "I'll go try to persuade Ms. Momoka and Mr. Kawai to help us." "They're both Angels." "Mr. Makizono will be saved." "but I don't think it'll work." "Eh?" "There's no merit for them to help me..." "I don't think they'll bother connecting any more." "surely they'll help?" "Even if you save four eyes here..." "Nao-chan?" "You already connected to both of them!" "you're up the creek!" "All the more reason to ask." "This strategy has no merit for me." "Won't that give them reason to believe in me?" "I think it's worth a shot." "Mr. Akiyama...!" "At least it's better than doing nothing." "Go for it." "Roger!" "I went to beg those two." "I'm...not...connecting!" "Why?" "Yes!" "I'm only asking for one of you!" "connect with Mr. Makizono!" "There's nothing in it for us!" "We've already disowned you." "So shoo!" "Shoo!" "come on...!" "No!" "No way!" "Mr. Kawai!" "This is YOUR fault!" "anyway!" "?" "why?" "That's because I want to prevent as many of this game's victims as possible." "even if I lose... please!" "You mean you're willing to let yourself go to save him?" "Yes." "You want to save four-eyes that badly?" "Yes!" "I see. you'll help...?" "...that's too good to be true!" "Say all the fancy things you want... but YOU'RE the biggest liar here!" "Liar!" "You're a liar!" "wait!" "Don't touch me!" "Are you okay?" "Give it up!" "You're making yourself look pathetic." "Nao~chan." "I'm sorry..." "I'm no use to you." "N-no... was it?" "That's why you try to save these other players in distress." "But is that really for their sake?" "I'll tell you." "All of your actions are self-serving." "...hence why you don't doubt anyone." "you're just a hypocrite." "Period 2 has come to a close!" "Don't let what she said bother you." "twist people with her words." "She's trying to break you down." "We will now announce the current standings." "Angels: 11 Demons: 1 something's on screen." "So what?" "Ah!" "Only 1 Demon!" "Now about how we'll proceed from here... 430)}Rest Interval and connect with one another." "we'll go check our status in the Rooms of Judgment." "right?" "most likely." "this is what happens." "we go check our statuses. we'll use a Cross to revert to Angel." "like the other group." "yeah?" "Hm?" "Wait a minute... one of us will be stuck with 3 Crosses!" "No problem there." "Why's that?" "The answer's written there." "...huh?" "I see..." "Huh!" "?" "They're in the same boat... both of those two need more Crosses." "Yes this game is ours." "However--I will only permit connecting to Makizono." "Eh?" "How come?" "Because I want Nao Kanzaki to be the only one to lose." "huh?" "She wants a perfect victory." "That's her artistic touch:" "To thoroughly decimate the opponent." "How long you gonna sulk around?" "But...you saw how useless I was." "Listen to me." "Your efforts were far from vain." "Eh?" "This game... is definitely ours!" "I've got just the plan." "Plan?" "Katsuragi made a fatal mistake." "Mistake?" "Mm-hm." "Their victory was assured...or supposed to be." "there's 1 Demon." "What that means is up until that announcement they didn't lift a finger." "So...they waited to make sure there was a Demon first?" "she's given us a golden opportunity." "Um..." "I don't really understand how exactly can we win?" "I want you to continue nagging Momoka and Kawai." "nothing else." "B-but...we'll never be able to convince them..." "The key to victory here... Nao Kanzaki." "Isn't that what you said?" "I'll win this fight through trust!" "Go." "you can still talk to them." "Okay." "What's Akiyama up to now?" "Please!" "Save Mr. Makizono!" "Geez!" "Give up already!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Please!" "Save Mr. Makizono!" "I said NO!" "You're the only ones who can!" "Please connect to him!" "Don't follow me!" "Liar!" "Liar!" "Liar!" "I'm not lying!"

"Move!" "See?" "See?" "See?" "See?" "See?" "See?" "SHUT UP!" "So this was an option...!" "?" "huh!" "they cannot proceed." "I wonder?" "How...?" "and Four-eyes..." "You're forgetting Mr. Fukunaga."

"She's right!" "Nao and Four-eyes only have 3 Crosses." "they'll have to come out sometime." "huh!" "?" "or you're gonna lose!" "That's not a problem because we're right here!"

"Hmph!" "Twisting the facts again!" "I wouldn't be so sure..." "It may be time for the LGT Offices to finally admit it." "That girl is anything but weak." "she might have the hidden talent it takes to win this entire game..." "You're the kind of person Akiyama can't ignore." "You trust everyone." "You don't even know what it means to doubt."

"we'll both have 4 Crosses... we'll give you the rooms." "let's do it!" "Like hell we can agree to THAT!" "S-scary...!" "let's just do this without the rooms." "LET'S!" "...wait?" "Can we?" "We just need to interrogate them and find out who was the Demon!" "They ain't gonna be honest!" "so none of them are at risk of being hung out to dry!" "Ah!" "I get it...!" "we ALL lose!" "got it!" "?" "I got it!" "I got it!" "we win." "Huh!" "?" "stu~pid?" "Ms. Katsuragi?" "come on!" "Explain what you mean! connect with us right away." "So?"

"Mr. Ikezawa's group will then connect together to make Crosses. while the Angels will both have 3." "they only need 2 more Angel allies to win the game." "or your team." "They'll only choose one... loses." "which side would you choose?" "this is your chance to eliminate players you don't want in the next round... right?" "isn't it?" "Woah-ho!" "The underdog takes a surprise lead!" "Could this be it for Katsuragi!" "?" "You think you've won?" "Hm?" "Let me make this absolutely clear:" "We will never agree to your terms." "We can win without you." "What did you just do?" "Used one of these..." "Checkbook" "shall we?" "that is." "Attention ladies and gentlemen in those rooms:" "What you see before you is a check."

"I knew you'd resort to money if we sealed off the rooms." "I certainly didn't expect that fun "experiment." "Thanks for the winter bonus!" "It's good to be on Akiyama's side!" "Hey!" "What're ya gonna use that cash for? You would've entered them one-by-one." "The other two would've stayed as lookouts to prevent anyone from connecting with Nao or her pal." "you lost your calm."
