Natsumi: H-he did it!!!!

77

Natsumi: He successfully ran out with that one shot!!!
Natsumi: He's cleared all three requirements for victory!!!

Natsumi: Kyaah!!! Congratulations, Tomu-senpai!!!
Mizuhara: Way to go, Tomu!!!

78

Mika: Rio!!!

Asahina: He got me...!!!
Asahina: If only I'd realized Shirasagi's trick then...

79

Mika: Trick!?
Mika: He ran out using a trick!?

Abidani: Exactly!! The shot he just used to run out...
Abidani: is something not used in Nine-Ball.

Abidani: A "Trick Shot"!!!

Crowd: A trick shot!?
Crowd: What's that?

80

Abidani: A trick shot is a performance where the balls are lined up in a predetermined arrangement...
Abidani: such that, when hit properly, all of them will go in.

Mika: Th-then, in order to run out,
Mika: he rearranged the balls and pretended they moved when he was hit into the table!?

Abidani: Precisely.
Abidani: But he didn't rearrange them on his own.

81

Abidani: Everyone remembers when Shirasagi was hit into the table.

Abidani: But afterwards everyone was watching that fat ass hustler funning away.

Abidani: The technique of moving people's gaze to where you want it...
Abidani: is a magic technique that Shirasagi has used before.

Abidani: It's called "Direction"!!

82

Abidani: In that instant, 3 pairs of hands moved to the table.

Abidani: Bold but cunning.
Abidani: Simple but ingenious.
Abidani: A blitzkrieg tactic carried out in only a few seconds!!

83

Abidani: It sounds like a lot of work, but, with 3 people, it can be done in an instant.
Abidani: But they weren't able to deceive my eyes.

Crowd: R-really!?
Crowd: I didn't notice at all.
Crowd: All these people and only Abidani noticed...?

Yuka: Heh...A top class magician can deceive an audience of ten thousand people.
Yuka: For an amateur, Shirasagi used direction brilliantly. I was almost caught in it myself.

Mika: H-how dare you use a dirty trick like that!!
Mika: Y-you should be ashamed, Shirasagi Tomu!!!

84

Tomu: Is there any proof that what Abidani's saying is the truth?
Tomu: And are you trying to say I'm the only one playing dirty?

Tomu: After the balls got moved, I requested they be moved back to how they were.
Tomu: According to the proper rules, I should have been able to redo it from the break.
Tomu: Aren't you ladies the ones who forced me to continue?

85

Mika: Gh!!

Asahina: I completely misread it.
Asahina: I was afraid he was trying to trick me into letting him put it back to how it was.

Asahina: He used my wariness against me.
Asahina: Aware of the danger, he requested to redo it as the rules say he can.

Tomu: If you hadn't let yourself lose your pride and confidence as the world champ...
Tomu: you would have followed the rules and let me redo it.

Tomu: But in the very end, you were in a hurry to win and did pretty much exactly what I bet you would.

86

Tomu: You didn't lose in billiards.
Tomu: You lost in gambling.

87

Asahina's mother: ...Rio-chan.

Asahina: I'm sorry...

Asahina: Uhh...
Asahina (thought): I'm sorry...
Asahina (thought): I wasn't able get revenge for you, father...
Asahina: Gh...

88

Abidani: Ah hyah hyah hyah hyah!!! I'm so happy it hurts.
Abidani: The world junior champ was defeated by an amateur in front of an audience and now she's crying in agony!!!

Mika: C-cut it out!!
Mika: Rio had more at stake in this match than just money!!!

89

Abidani: Ha ha ha!! You mean Shirasagi's promise to tell her where his father is?
Abidani: He couldn't actually do that in the first place!!

Abidani: He doesn't know where his father is!!!

Mika: Wh...
Mika: What!!?

Tomu: Abidani... How do you know that...!?

90

Abidani: Hya ha ha. Do you want to know, Shirasagi!!?
Abidani: Do you want to know where that swindler is!!?
