Chapter 35: The Curtain Falls!!
[insert text: The end is nigh!!]
Bossun: I've Found the Pixie.
Announcer: Now! Fujisaki has made a life-or-death gamble, identifying this card as the Pixie!!
Bossun: (I win!!)
[TN: Oh, come on. You never think that before the card is turned over. That's just asking for trouble.]
Announcer: And now... he reveals that fateful card!! // Could it possibly be... // ...that this is the one and only Pixie?!!

2
Bossun: !!! // A... // A Star?!!

3
Bossun: (It's not the Pixie!!!) // But why?!!!
Soujirou: My condolences, Fujisaki... // But that's not the Pixie.
Bossun: No way... / That one had to be the Pixie...!!
Soujirou: Draw three cards. / It's your penalty.
Bossun: (That can't be right... // Why...?)

4
Bossun: The... // The Pixie!! // The Pixie was in the deck?! // What's going on?! // (It had already been played...) // When?!!! // When did you play the Pixie?!! // I remember every single move you played before that deck was shuffled!! / I know where every card in this game should be!! // And you never played that Pixie!!!

5
Soujirou: I admit... / It certainly did appear you had identified every single card. // I was extremely impressed. // But... did you identify everything? // Wasn't there any card... / ...where you jumped to conclusions, only thinking you had identified it?
Bossun: (Was there a card like that?! / ...No... there can't be... / The only thing that worried me was the shuffle itself... // But the rest of the second half went exactly according to plan... / I'd got it all right... // ...So... how did he...?! // Earlier than that? // ...Earlier... // Earl - ) // !!! // D... / Don't tell me...!!!

6
Bossun: (THE VERY FIRST CARD...!!!) // The first card?!!!
Flashback!Soujirou: well, I guess I can't get too worked up over the first card.
Bossun: Back then...!
Flashback!Soujirou: Let's just pick one.
Bossun: You played the Pixie all the way back then...?!!
Soujirou: That's right. // I played the Pixie right after the game started, on my very first turn.
Bossun: .........

7
Bossun: But why?!!! // There's no point in lying about the very first card!! // Least of all in playing the Pixie, of all things!!!
Soujirou: You're right. // That's why I played it. // That... "Concentration Mode" of yours... / I've heard rumours about it. // With that power behind you, I suspected you would end up identifying every card I played. // That's why I laid a ticking time-bomb in the one place you would never suspect it; the very first card.
Bossun: Then... // When you were shuffling, you...
Soujirou: That's right. // I made sure you could see what I was doing.
Bossun: ...............
Soujirou: Hahahah... I must say, I was still a little unsure whether or not you would really identify them all. // But when you played those Stars, right at the beginning of your counter-attack, my suspicions were confirmed.

8
Soujirou: When you played three Stars in that turn, it proved that you had made the mistake of assuming... // ...that this Blue Star, the card I had used as the Pixie, / ...was not present in my hand.
Bossun: You're right...
Flashback!Bossun: (If you have the cards to play, then play them! // Though of course I know... that you have no Yellows or Stars!)
Soujirou: Well, then... / You failed to find the Pixie, so that makes it my turn. // Blue Flower. // I win.

9
Announcer: Game over!! // The winner is... / Agata Soujirou!!! // The Student Council wins the tournament!!!

10
Bossun: So you predicted that I'd identify all of the cards... / ...and tricked me into identifying the "Pixie", so you could win... // Why did you do a crazy thing like that?
Soujirou: I told you, didn't I? / I'm really not the nicest of guys.
Bossun: What about you IQ being 200?! Was that...?!
Soujirou: Hahahah... // Oh, come now, that's impossible. // That really was a lie. // (I think it's more like 160...)

11
Bossun: You know... // I always thought that when it comes down to it, I'm a pretty damn smart guy. // (I'm pissed off, of course... // But then, if I'm honest...) // So there really are guys like that, huh... // (I kind of admire him, too...) // That's the first time I've ever seen... // ...a real genius at work. // Dammitall...

12
Bossun: (What am I gonna tell everyone...?)
[Text: And so... // Some have found the opportunity to show their talents to the world... // Some have found the opportunity to mature their skills a little further... // And some have sustained new wounds to bear...]
Himeko: Wha...?!!
[Text: Thus, the curtain finally falls upon the Gachinko Vivage Battle.]
Himeko: You quit?!! // The hell kind of promise is that?!!!
[Text: ............]

13
Bossun: Guys... // I'b so sorry...!
[banner: "Thank you, Bossun!" / Fujisaki Yuusuke's Leaving Party]
Bossun: Ah - Ahhh... // I was... uh... I was really... stupid, and... // I really... / I can't believe it's come to this... // I'm just so, so sorry, you guys...

14
Bossun: I just hope the Sket-dan lives on forever...!!
Roman: D - Don't say goodbye, my prince...!! ...Goodbye...!!
Shinzou: Sket-dan or no Sket-dan, you're still yourself, Bossun-dono! / Bravo!!!
Himeko: You can come see us any time, okay?!
Switch: You can leave everything to me!
Yabasawa: I... I'm so sorry about all this... // It's all my fault... I didn't think things would turn out so awful...
Bossun: No... it's not your fault, Yabasawa-san. // It's my fault for losing that match. / It's... // It's because I'm a useless, crappy loser...!!
Himeko: Go ahead!! You just get it all out of your system!!

15
Bossun: Hahah... / Ha...hahah... / I guess... I should be... happy...!
Himeko: That's right!!
Bossun: I've finally got an excuse to... disappear...!
Himeko: Yeah!!
Bossun: Not that anyone'll notice if I do, or anything~!☆
Himeko: Oh, stop it already...!!
Bossun: !!! // A...
Soujirou: Hey.
Bossun: AGATA!!! // Wh... What the hell are you doing here?!!!
Soujirou: Ah... and would you be Yabasawa-san?
Yabasawa: Ah... Pass!!
Soujirou: ("Pass"...?) // Ah... the thing is, I won a whole lot of Special Avatar stuff in that contest... // This must be that "mouth like a 3", right? / Well, apparently I can give them to other people if I like... // So, well...

16
Soujirou: You can have it.
Yabasawa: Oh, how awful!!!
Everyone: YABASAWA-SAAAN!!!
Bossun: Wh - What do you think you're playing at?!!!
Soujirou: Hm? I was just trying to give her the...
Himeko: She's a delicate girl, okay?!! / Ya oughta be more careful!!
Agata: Dear me... Mouth like a 3, eyes like hearts... / It's like some kind of emoticon!
Bossun: Is - is that all you came here to do?! Well, thanks, okay?!!!
Soujirou: Yeah... // ...By the way... // What are you guys doing? // A "Leaving Party"? // Is somebody leaving............ // ............
[Label: Just remembered]
Bossun: It - It's all your fault...!! // Dummy!! // Dummy dummy dummy!! / Dummy dummy!!

17
Soujirou: Ah, yes... our little bet. // I don't really care, you know? / You don't have to quit.
Bossun: Stop screwing around!!! Do you have any idea just how hard this...?!!
Soujirou: Incidentally, there's something I should mention. // I think there may have been a little... interference in the penultimate round.
Bossun: Interference...?
Soujirou: Yeah... Without that, I get the feeling you guys might well have won. // Why, even I was taken in by that aura of yours.
Roman: Huh?
[sFX: pang]
[sFX: thump // thump]
Roman: (No... but there can only be one true Prince in my heart - )
Himeko: Oh, stop that already!! / We don't want this gettin' messy!!
Soujirou: Well, that's that, then. / In the end, we were quite likely the real losers. // My apologies, but... how about we just call the whole thing a draw? / I'm asking you nicely.
Bossun: ...............
Himeko: Wait up!! // Don't you think ya can break Bossun's resolve that easy!! / Hell, we all tried to stop him, but it was no good!!

18
Bossun: Ahh... / Well... / If that's how it is.........
Himeko: HUH?!! // Oh, have a freakin' spine!!!
Bossun: But - if there was cheating -
Himeko: What happened to all those tears, huh?!!! / Hell, I freakin' hugged ya, for Godssakes!! That's embarassin' stuff!!
Soujirou: Well, I only made that bet in the first place to get you heated up. // Hahah... / And thanks to that... // I was able to get pretty serious myself for once. / It was a lot of fun.
Bossun: ...............
Soujirou: I doubt this is the last time we'll find ourselves in competition. / I look forward to the next time.
Bossun: Hah... Yeah, whatever. // (I won't lose next time.)

19
Soujirou: Hahahah... // See you, then.
[Text: And so...]
Himeko: All right, Bossun!!
Bossun: Yeah!!
Switch: Welcome back, Bossun.
Bossun: Yeah...!!
Roman: I... always believed in you, my Prince!!
Bossun: Liar!!
Yabasawa: Awf-val!!

Bossun: Huh?!
