Chapter 43

01

Text: Death is her lover... He is always with her and he captivates her. She is his eternal servant.
Title: Fight 43: Almighty Magic Power

02

Text: Will he live or die!? He's bet his life on this death game!!
SFX around Tomu's pot: Grind grind
SFX: Rumble
Abidani: Hanasaki wins the first round with 5-5!!
Abidani: As per the rules, Shirasagi's iron pot will be lowered 10 points worth!!

Mizuhara: Uuuh...There's coke burning at 1200 degrees in there!!
Yuka: That looks pretty close for only 10 points...

03

Abidani: Heh heh heh...The pots started out 10 meters above the table!!
Abidani: Dividing that by 100 points gives you 10 cm per point.
Mayo: Heh heh heh...
Abidani: I just lowered it 10 points leaving 90 left.
Abidani: In other words, another 9 meters and Shirasagi loses!!

Mayo: Those 2 pots are connected by a single chain.
Mayo: The worse it gets for you, the safer it gets for me.

Abidani: Now then. Show us how you fight back against this as a gambler.

SFX: Place place

Abidani: Choose your dice!!
SFX: Push together!!

04

Crowd: I see. Just like when playing cards, the dice are shuffled each round.
Crowd: Regardless of what was rolled last time, the lineup is different each time.
Crowd: It doesn't look like there's any way to cheat.

Mayo: Well?

Tomu: ...Numbers 1 and 3.

SFX: Slide slide

Mayo: Heh. So you chose the same numbers as I did.
Mayo: Don't tell me you're hoping you'll get a 5-5 too because of that.
SFX: Grip...
Tomu: Oh, I'm hoping. But not for that.

05

Tomu: Most likely, with this roll...
Tomu: I'll be able to tell just how much "magic power" you have.

Mayo: Oh? What can a single roll tell you?

Tomu: That depends on what I get!!
SFX: Toss

SFX: Clang
SFX: Roll
SFX: Roll

Mizuhara: H-here it comes!!
Natsumi: Please!! I beg you, god of doubles!!

06

SFX: Stop

Mizuhara: No good!! 3-5 doesn't get him anything!!
Yuka: If you don't get doubles, nothing changes but who the leader is!!

Mayo: Too bad. And what did that tell you?

Tomu: Tsukiyono. What do you think looking at this with the eyes of a magician?
Yuka: Eh!?

07

Yuka: Well. There weren't any suspicious movements that would indicate the dice being switched out, or the use of strings or magnets.
Yuka: And the first numbers were completely unrelated to these ones.
Yuka: It doesn't look like these are the simple type of magic dice that manipulate the output using gravity.

Yuka: But the one thing we know...
Yuka: is that Hanasaki can only control her own dice!!

Mizuhara: Wh-what!? How do you know that!?
Tomu: That's Tsukiyono for you.

08

Tomu: If Hanasaki could control all of the dice...
Tomu: it would have been to her advantage to make my role be 6-6.

Tomu: Then she could choose to be "Judged" and roll a 6.
Tomu: That way she would complete the 6-6-6!!

Mizuhara: N-now that you mention it...!!!
Mizuhara: If her magic was almighty, she would have defeated Tomu this round!!
Natsumi: So there's only one reason she didn't...

Natsumi: That she couldn't!!?

09

Mayo: Hmph. Sorry, but that's wrong.
Mayo: I just thought ending this in one roll would be too boring.

Tomu: Oh, really?
Tomu: Luckily, I have a good way you can prove it.

Tomu: On your next roll as leader...
Tomu: roll a 6-6!!

10

Tomu: This game is just a variety of Sugoroku.
Tomu: So getting 6-6 is the best roll you could get.
Tomu: But there's the special "Judging" rule.

Tomu: If I choose to be "Judged" and get a 6, I would have completed the devil's number of 6-6-6.
Tomu: In other words, you're afraid to roll 6-6 because I would have a 1/6 chance of turning it around and setting you ablaze.

Tomu: But if you can control my dice, you wouldn't have to worry about that.
Tomu: If your magic powers are truly almighty, then roll 6-6!!

Mayo: Heh heh heh...

11

Mayo: Very well...
Mayo: I shall roll 6-6!!

Mizuhara: N-no way!
Mizuhara: If she does that and Tomu happens to roll a 6, she'll burn to death...
Yuka: It's gotta be a bluff!! She doesn't have the guts to roll 6-6!!

12

Abidani: Heh heh heh!! Things are finally getting exciting.
Abidani: Now then, Hanasaki!! Choose your dice!!
SFX: Push together

Mayo: Number 2...and number 5.

SFX: Slide
SFX: Slide

Mayo: Shirasagi. You're wrong about two things.

Mayo: First, you're underestimating my power.

13

Mayo: And second...
Mayo: I am not afraid of "death".

SFX: Clang
SFX: Roll
SFX: Roll

Mizuhara: Uuuh. What's going to happen!!?
Yuka: Don't worry!! She won't roll 6-6!!
Yuka: She's going to show her true colors!!

SFX: Roll roll roll

14

SFX: Stop

Yuka: N-no way!!
Yuka: She really rolled 6-6!?

Crowd: Hanasaki got 6-6 just as she predicted!!
Text: Ohhhh!
Crowd: She accepted Shirasagi's challenge!!

15

Abidani: Heh heh heh!! That's what you should expect from the leader of the Abidani Seminar Team!!
Abidani: Now then, Shirasagi!! Will you be "Judged"?

Abidani: And just to remind you, if you fail in your "Judgment"...
Abidani: your pot will be lowered triple the sum of the dice's worth.
Abidani: And, of course, if you get a 6, you turn this around and win!!

Yuka: I don't believe it. Is she really not afraid of death!?
Yuka: Or...is her magic really almighty!!?

16

Yuka: No!! Neither of those could be true!!
Yuka: I'm sure Tomu knows that.

Yuka: This is Hanasaki's strategy.
Yuka: She's determined that Tomu won't choose to be "Judged" because the risk is too high!!

SFX: Heartbeat...
SFX: Heartbeat...

Tomu: Fine.
Tomu: "Judge" me!!!

17

Crowd: Ohh! Shirasagi isn't backing down!!
Text: Ohhhh!
Crowd: Which one of them is right!!?

Abidani: Then choose one of the remaining dice!!

Mayo: Heh. It doesn't matter which one you choose.

Tomu: ...Number 3.

Mizuhara: Goooo, Tomu!! Get a 6!!
Natsumi: Show us your true powers as a gambler, senpai!!!

18

SFX: Gulp...

Mayo: Heh heh. As I told you before, I have no intention of ending this anytime soon.
SFX: Lean forward...
Mayo: I'm not just here to win.

Mayo: You're a man so conceited he has people call him an "Extreme Gambler".
Mayo: I want the satisfaction of seeing you squirm as fear and despair close in on you.

19

Tomu: Oh, you're quite the sadist. She really is your student, Abidani.
Abidani: Indeed!!
Abidani: I'm quite proud of her.

Tomu: Sorry, but that kind of threat doesn't work on me.
SFX: Toss!!
Tomu: I will expose what your magic truly is!!

SFX: Hit
SFX: Roll roll

Natsumi: Nyaaaah!! C'mon 6!!!
Mizuhara: Can he turn this around and win!!?

SFX: Whisper...
Mayo: ...5.

20

SFX: Stop

Margin: Tomu is already cornered!!

Crowd: 5!! Her prediction was right!!
Crowd: Shirasagi failed his "Judgment"!!
Yuka: Uuuh...
Crowd: Hanasaki really is a witch!!!

Crowd: What's Shirasagi going to do!!!?
