Your partner can move even if they are located, but in exchange, you lose one offensive move. That’s why the Little Devil activated Double Action. If she feels like it, she can move around twice as fast. She’s trying to put pressure on me so that I’ll use my answers up first.

That Double Action ability Akizuki’s using is way too powerful. I bet it’s an illegal ability she got from the guy behind the curtain. Which means her other two abilities will probably also be a pain. Hey, Shinohara, I think I more or less get the rules, but what are you planning to do now?

If you win, Yuki won’t be able to stay on the island. But if you lose, it’s all over for you. Well, it’s not like I don’t have a plan. Wait, does that mean… But I’m not 100% on it yet. I thought this during your game with Kugasaki,

But when it comes to thinking up sneaky plans at the last minute, you’re a genius. Well, thanks. But if you play fair, there’s no way you’re gonna beat the Devil Girl. In that case, an eye for an eye, and a cheat for a cheat.

She’s trying to beat us at cheating.

Yeah, you could. Except you need to connect to an outside server, so right now, you can’t. Ugh. But Area Barrier’s an external defense ability, so we can still use cheats inside it, right? Yup, yup. Academy Island’s devices are pretty high-spec.

Now, if only there was a genius who isn’t me who could do a quick job of modifying one… So you mean there might be a way for someone as smart as Akizuki? Well, maybe. I’ve got the specs for all the modded programs in my head,

Hey, Shinohara. I’ve lost the signal from Yuki’s Device. Yeah. She probably suspected we were cheating and did something to block it. But if that means Akizuki’s already used up one answer point, that isn’t a bad result. Master? Huh? I must apologize. I had to cut off all access to my Device.

Yeah, I’d noticed. But is it okay for you to be talking to me? Yes, because I am not saying anything disadvantageous to Akizuki-sama. So I guess you have to move around on foot, huh? It would be fun if I could instantly warp anywhere.

But to keep you from getting information, I was given an annoyingly roundabout route. Just walking up and down stairs gets tiring after a while. Be careful not to sweat too much and get cold. It sounds like it’s gonna get real cold after 10 pm tonight.

If you don’t keep the room warm, you might catch cold. Thank you for your consideration. Well then.

Akizuki’s third turn will carry on until Himeji’s done moving, so it looks like this will take some time. The Devil Girl still has two answer points left, but we can’t use the device sensor anymore, and it would take too long to narrow it down one at a time.

In theory, the best idea would normally be to figure out Akizuki’s plan, and guess where she’s hidden Himeji. Is there a problem with doing that?

Nice job, Hiroto-kun. I never thought you’d be such a match for me when I’m really trying. We might be made for each other, after all! It’s been a long time since I received a compliment that insincere. Huh? I’m being serious. I really wish we’d met under different circumstances.

But it looks like you were too weak to defeat that guy, after all. Too weak? I just beat that Seven Star! I made a deal with the devil and used illegal abilities so I could steal Hiroto-kun’s Star and become the new strongest person on Academy Island!

Yeah, you definitely did win the Tabletop Treasure Hunt. But you should double-check who you think you just beat. Yeah, that’s how it is, Akizuki. Unfortunately for you, the loser of this game wasn’t me. Th-There’s no way! Yes, there is. I had an ability that could set it up. {fad(150,0)blur0.3shad0bord0fs13fax-0.04c&H7C7263&frz3.334pos(136,210)}A{c&H847F2D&}bi{c&H854580&}li{c&H5C1973&}ty {c&H39457A&}Ca{c&H644E6F&}rd {fad(150,0)blur0.3shad0bord2fs18fax-0.04c&H2E1B2E&3c&H512C50&pos(192.667,244)frz2.365frx0fry356}Pin{3c&H6D5B4D&c&H402B2B&}ch Hi{3c&H4E4466&c&H2D2839&}tter

I’m not surprised you don’t know it. It’s a special ability that doesn’t get used much. Pinch Hitter can be used from outside an active game. And if it’s approved, someone can take the place of the target player.

And I just used that to trade places with Master. Basically, the player you just beat wasn’t me. It was Himeji. I’ll say it again. You just beat Himeji. Whether you like it or not. Huh? Are you finally catching on?

Which means you can’t hold Himeji hostage anymore. I didn’t lose the game, and your cursed abilities have infected you instead. There couldn’t have been a more perfect result, could there? Well? Are you ready to tell us exactly what’s going on, Akizuki? This was… the most important thing to me.

I haven’t told anyone else until now. But I guess I’ll talk. This might be the last chance I get, anyway. The last chance? I’m kind of smart, you see. I took something called an intellectual development test and got an incredible score. One of the best scores ever.

Then I was headhunted to come to grade school on Academy Island. Yeah, I think that’s a lot more than “kind of smart.” But grade schools on this island really only accept the most elite candidates. Intelligence and talent aren’t enough. You need to be from a good family and lineage.

There’s no way a normal person like me could blend in at a place like that. I couldn’t help feeling like I was worthless. So I thought if I stopped being so normal… If I became someone great, I could fit in here. So I worked really hard.

In my first year, I got into the top class, and last year, I became a Five Star. Everyone said I’d win the All-Campus Elimination Battle and become Eimei’s ace! I wanted something. Just one reward to show for all the effort I’d put in. I wanted to become special.

But you took that all away from me, Hiroto-kun. You destroyed me in an instant. Is that why you made a deal with this “devil” guy? The devil’s name is Kurahashi Mikado. He’s the headmaster of Seijo Academy in District 12.

He told me to cheat and do whatever I could to steal Stars from you, Hiroto-kun. If I did that, he said he’d make all my dreams come true! I was so scared. Everything fell apart just as I was about to be rewarded for my hard work.

Didn’t you ever think of defying him? This Kurahashi guy, I mean. There’s no way! I’m no match for him. But it’s fine. You can all just forget about me. I’m sure this is my last day at school here and the last time I’ll ever see you, Hiroto-kun.

There’s just one more thing. I’m really sorry I tried to hurt your Maid-chan. I’m not okay with this. Gimme a break! Who said you could just give up? B-But there’s nothing else I can do! Where will I ever find anyone who’s able to defeat that devil?

Yeah, that’s the problem. You can’t see it because you’re always looking down. Did you forget? I’m the strongest on Academy Island. I don’t care if this guy’s a District 12 headmaster. A loser like that… is no match for me. Hiroto-kun? Don’t worry. I won this game a long time ago.

So, the thing you should know is, you’ve been saved.
