"I knew it all along that you chose number 4!" "Number 3." "3..." "W-wait a minute..." "You said...3?" "Correct." "There's no way it's" "3?" "3?" "3?" "3?" "3!" "?" "3!" "?" "!" "?" "!" "All misplaced bets are awarded to the Kingdom of Sun." "That makes the score once again in favor of the Kingdom of Sun." "Noooooooooo!" "Why?" "Why'd you go into pocket 3?"

"No...this... this isn't over yet!" "Just you wait!" "I'll make a comeback!" "Nope." "It's over." "You only have 94 chips." "It's physically impossible to make a comeback." "The most you can hope for is to bet all the chips in your possession." "then you'd have 188 total." "But...you're only up as the dealer one more time." "That limits what you can do." "you can't catch up." "The end is clear." "have won." "I can't believe I was so stupid!" "How could I have trusted Fukunaga's words!" "YOU!" "Spreading that sweet talk about saving us when all you're looking out for is yourself!" "There isn't anyone alive who'd sacrifice themselves in order to save someone else's hide." "That's not true." "Didn't I say it before?" "I plan to pay off all the debt for you and your teammates." "Why?" "Why would you?" "Because I hate it." "I hate the thought of throwing others aside just to save yourself." "That's why I truly want to save everyone." "our real enemy isn't you or your teammates." "none of the players..." "It's this game." "This game that forces people to give into their greed..." "And the organization behind it--the LGT Office." "That's why I will continue to fight!" "Even if it's just to save one more player..." "Ms. Kosaka..." "Please never again say that you won't trust people." "while 94 chips were in possession of the Kingdom of Moon." "Our team won the entire Round." "Reckless." "Too reckless." "I'm sorry for not telling you..." "Forget it." "Nao-chan!" "I'll be chweering!" "I knew you two were up to something before the game began." "Really?" "but how come you didn't even ask my advice?" "Because..." "I wanted to fight for once." "Without your help." "I know I can't always be relying on you for answers." "Whatever." "You can handle yourself." "I had to follow the General's orders. me and Nao can hold the fort!" "Shroom-top." "Shroom-top?" "!"
