01

Yuka: Ahh...!!
Yuka: Hghhh!!!!
Text: Tragedy has struck "Team Shirasagi"! A comedic situation approaches Tsukiyono!! The outlaw's trap has caught Tomu!!!
Title: Fight 34: Strip Showdown

02

Right margin: An angelic smile and demonic ingenuity!! Nana the Lolita Computer has arrived!!

Crowd: Hiruko Nana!? She isn't Akino from the craft club!?
Crowd: That cute girl is the leading member of the Abidani Seminar!?
Crowd: I can't believe she was a completely different person!!

Abidani: Heh heh heh...It looks like even her classmates didn't see through your disguise.
Nana: Tee hee. Of course they didn't!!
Nana: Not counting how I look, it's my job to match my personality and speech style to my customers' orders.

03

Tomu: ...Your customers' orders?
Mizuhara: Your job?

Abidani: Heh heh heh...
Abidani: How about I introduce you to her history of being a "Bad Kid".

Abidani: Hiruko Nana!!
Abidani: When she entered Shishidou Academy, she also began working in compensated dating!!
Abidani: She used her technique of change her personality to whatever a certain man wants...
Abidani: to make a huge amount of money from customers that included VIPs of the political and financial world and other celebrities!!

04

Mizuhara: C-compensated dating...you mean...prostitution!?
Nana: Tee hee hee. It was just a bit of adult socialization.
Mizuhara: But I've never heard of a student named Hiruko!!

Abidani: Ha ha ha!! It's only natural no one's heard of her!!
Abidani: She never really attended classes because she was working hard at her compensated dating job!!
Abidani: The "Shishidou Academy" brand name was a good sales point for getting customers.
Abidani: She only entered the school so she could use it.

Abidani: But her business reached an important member of the government and the leader of a crime syndicate...
Abidani: Since the situation looked serious, she was sent to my seminar on the "guidance" of the Shishidou board of directors.
Nana: Eh heh!! Maybe I went too far.

SFX: Roll roll

05

Tomu: Hiruko Nana...
Tomu: It doesn't matter to me that you sold your body.
Tomu: But I won't forgive you for bringing suffering to Tsukiyono by giving her this cow laxative.

Nana: Hee hee hee...I was promised I could graduate from the seminar if I defeated you.
Nana: It's a pity what I had to do to that magician, but I have to win no matter what!!

Abidani: Wa ha ha ha!! Tsukiyono must be covered in shit right now!!
Abidani: If she doesn't come back, you'll have forfeited the first match!

Mizuhara: Wh-what are you going to do, Tomu!?

06

Natsumi: I won't let you do that!!!

Mizuhara: Na...!?
Tomu: Na...

Crowd: Na-chan!!!
Crowd: It's Na-chaaaaan!!!

07

Natsumi: I'm the president of the Shirasagi Tomu Fan Club!!!
Natsumi: Class 1-A's Kimura Natsumi!!!
On her headband: Sure Victory

08

Natsumi: Here I a...wah!!!?

Nana: Oh, it's just Kimura-san who "Team Shirasagi" left behind.
Nana: What are you doing here now?

Natsumi: Shut up!!
Natsumi: I'll be your opponent in Tsukiyono's place!!

Mizuhara: But...it's hopeless...you don't have any kind of ability.
Natsumi: I don't want to hear that from you!!

09

Mizuhara: What's going on?
Mizuhara: She was just mad because you didn't put her on your team...

Abidani: Ha ha ha!! What a reliable supporter, Shirasagi!!
Abidani: This is much more exciting than a forfeit!!
Abidani: I'll let you change out your team members!!

Abidani: Okay, Hiruko!! Announce the game for the first round.
Nana: Yes, Abidani-sensei!!

Nana: The game for the first round is called...
Nana: "Prime Number Dice".

Crowd: Wh-what's that? I've never heard of it.
Crowd: Prime numbers are those numbers like 3 and 11 that can't be divided by other numbers, right?

10

Nana: Simply put, it's a game of making prime numbers from dice numbers.
Nana: First, 5 dice will be rolled at once.
Nana: The players have to make a prime number of their choosing out of the numbers.

Nana: They have to use every dice once.
Nana: So 7 works with (6+6)/(2-1)-5=7.
Nana: The operations they can use are + - * / and raising a number to a power!!

Crowd: Ohh. So it's like the game where you get "10" from a license plate number.
Crowd: I've done that as a bit of brain training.

Natsumi: Thank goodness...Even I can do calculations like that...
Text above Natsumi: Hoo...
Nana: This is where things get fun!!
Nana: The person who answers first, wins!! And as a penalty, the loser has to...

11

Nana: take off one piece of clothing!!

Natsumi: Eh!!!?

Crowd: S-so this is a strip game!?
Crowd: The lolita bishojo Hiruko and the school's top idol Natsumi-chan..
Crowd: are going to be stripping on stage!!?

Nana: Since this is a festival, we have to make things exciting!!
Nana: The game is over when someone runs out of clothing or gives up!!
Natsumi: Wh-what a shameless rule!!

12

Nana: And now for a small supplement to the rules.
Nana: If a player takes more than 30 seconds to answer or gives an incorrect answer, she will be penalized.
Nana: And the prime number used has to be larger than the previous one used!!

Abidani: So going from your example, the next one would have to be higher than 7. And then, if that was 17, the next would have to be 19 or higher?
Nana: Exactly.

Abidani: In other words, as the rounds go on, the prime numbers will have more and more digits.
Abidani: Ha ha ha ha!! This is a much more difficult game than I had imagined.

Tomu: ...So they've won this round before it even begins.
Mizuhara: Eh!?
Tomu: I can't believe she would make rules that are so plainly in her favor.

13

Tomu: Hiruko has the special ability of calculating the square root of a 5 digit number in a few seconds.
Tomu: With these rules, there's no way an ordinary person can match her!!

Abidani: Exactly!! Anyone can calculate the values on the dice!!
Abidani: But as the number of digits goes up, it suddenly gets harder to know if a number is prime or not!!
Abidani: Even internet security encryption uses this principle!

Tomu: Na-chan...I appreciate your help, but you have no chance in this!!
Tomu: You don't have to pointlessly take on Hiruko and embarrass yourself.

Natsumi: ...It isn't pointless!! Even if I lose, as long as I stick in to the very end, Tsukiyono-san might have time to come back for the 2nd round!!
Natsumi: And...not fighting because you have no way of winning isn't like you, Tomu-senpai!!

14

Natsumi: Bet on me...
Natsumi: in this gamble!!!

Tomu: Na-chan...

Nana: Hee hee hee...It's often said that love is blind.
Nana: But coming back to save the man who abandoned you...
Nana: I'm not sure if that's brave or foolish...Ah ha ha.

15

Natsumi: Laugh while you can!!
Natsumi: I'll show you the power of a girl in love!!

Nana: Hee hee...In deference to your reckless courage, I'll let you choose our dice.
Nana: Choose whichever type you like.

Nana: The 16th-Century Witch's Dice,
Nana: the 18th-Century Venetian Crystal Dice,
Nana: or the Las Vegas Casino Dice.

16

Mizuhara: Ugh...Bugs aren't gonna come flying out of them this time, right?
SFX: Gulp...
SFX above box: Bzzzz

Natsumi: Okay...I choose the Venetian Crystal Dice!!

Seminar students: Hee hee...
Seminar students: Heh heh heh...

Crowd: This is unheard-of!! A game of strip dice is about to begin!
Crowd: Is this okay!? Is this really okay!?

17

Abidani: As the witness, I'll roll the dice.
Abidani: I'll check if your answer is correct with this table of prime numbers.
Abidani: Do you want to check the dice for cheating again?

Natsumi: I don't care!!
Natsumi: With these rules, loaded dice don't really matter!!

Nana: Tee hee. I'm so excited.
Nana: Sometimes it's nice to look down on a woman instead of on men!!

Natsumi: I have a chance!! I have to hit the button the instant he rolls the dice without looking at the result!!
Natsumi: If I can claim the right to answer, I can do this while the prime numbers are still small!!

18

Abidani: Then let's begin!!!

SFX in bottom right panel: Ding diiiing!!

Crowd: Hiruko was faster!!!
Nana: Tee hee hee.
Crowd: She hasn't even looked at the dice yet!!

19

Nana: Too slow, too slow!!
Nana: I knew exactly what you were thinking, Kimura-san.

Natsumi: Gh...

SFX: Stop...

Nana: The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6!!
Nana: My calculation is 6 squared x (5 - 3) + 7 = 73. My answer is "73"!!

Abidani: Correct!!

Crowd: T-two digits already!?
Crowd: This means...Natsumi-chan has to take off a piece of clothing...

20

Mizuhara: Oh, no!! Now the next answer has to be higher than "73"!
Mizuhara: Now it will be hard for Na-chan to know what's prime!!

Nana: Now, time for the penalty!!
Nana: Take off a piece of clothing please!!

Natsumi: This isn't over yet!! It's just beginning!!
Natsumi: I'll fight down to the last piece of clothing!!
Text: She wants to be true to her heart!! This earnest girl won't determination from love won't waver!! Sparks are flying at this strip match of "Love" vs. "Ero"!!
