Title: Fight 36: The God of Gambling

02

Crowd: "125311" is prime!!
Crowd: Kimura got it right!!
Crowd: Ohh!! Na-chan's coming back with a single win!!
Crowd: I never thought Hiruko would lose with these rules!!
Text: Where will this strip game of making prime numbers from adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing the numbers on 5 dice end up!?

Mizuhara: Yes!! It may have been a lucky guess, but she got one!!
Tomu: Well done, Na-chan...Keep it up!!

Natsumi: I will, Tomu-senpai!!
Nana: Gh...

03

Nana: Don't get so excited about a lucky guess!!
Nana: I still have an overwhelming advantage!!

Text above crowd: Ohhh!!

Crowd: Hiruko's down to her underwear in one go!!
Crowd: And she has such a wonderful way of stripping!!

04

Tomu: You have an overwhelming advantage? I don't know about that.
Nana: What!?

Tomu: Not only do we now know that the human computer can't do everything...
Tomu: but, from here on out, that power is going to work against you.

Nana: Silence!! That kind of bluff won't work on me...
Tomu: Na-chan!!
Natsumi: Y-yes!?

Tomu: You don't need to rush this!!
Tomu: You can use the 30 second time limit to see if you can create the necessary number of digits or not.
Natsumi: B-but I won't make it in time!

05

Tomu: Don't hesitate!! The god of gambling resides in your instinct!!
Tomu: Go on without fear of losing!!

Natsumi: Yes, Tomu-senpai!!
Natsumi: I'll do my best!!

Abidani: ...This is an unexpected turn of events, Hiruko.
Abidani: You aren't going to betray my expectations are you?
Nana: Uh...

Abidani: Whatever...let's get the game started again.

06

Abidani: Begin!!

Natsumi: Ah...

Nana: Kh...

Crowd: The numbers are 1, 1, 3, 3, and 6.
Crowd: It has to be a prime number larger than last time's number, "125311"...

Natsumi: Okay!!!
Natsumi: First I'll cube 6 for "216" and stick "311" on the end...
SFX: Ding dinnng
Natsumi: That's "216311"!!

07

Abidani: ...Correct!!!
Natsumi: Yes!!!

Mizuhara: R-right again!! But, with this many digits, the odds of getting a prime number are less than 10 percent!
Mizuhara: Does Na-chan really have the god of gambling on her side like you said!?

Tomu: No...I only said that to give Na-chan courage.
Tomu: I guess you could say that her instinct has outdone itself...

Tomu: And, on the other hand, Hiruko's ability gets in her way so she can't take the plunge into a battle of intuition.
Tomu: She can't tell if numbers these big are prime in 30 seconds...
Tomu: but she also knows how to tell if numbers that aren't prime are divisible.

08

Tomu: If she even finds one number that works, she can't press the button.
Tomu: Unexpectedly, she's chosen the passive strategy of waiting for Na-chan to make a mistake.

Tomu: And Na-chan is going up against her in a risky battle of intuition.
Tomu: Continuing to attack while knowing the risks but still opening up a means of escape...That's what gambling is!!

Natsumi: Please, god of gambling!!
Natsumi: Give me the luck needed to win this!!

Natsumi: Six cubed with 421 on the end, "216421"!!
Abidani: ...Correct!!

09

Natsumi: I want to win no matter what it takes...
Natsumi: I don't need to look back.

Natsumi: Even if it stays an unrequited love...

Natsumi: I don't need to look back!!

Natsumi: This is for the sake of the person I love....
Natsumi: As long as I can help Tomu-senpai, that's all that matters!!!

10

Nana: ...Ridiculous!!
Nana: I lost 5 times in a row!! Statistically this shouldn't be happening!!
Crowd: Na-chan's making a comeback!!!
Crowd: Ohh!! Hiruko only has one piece of clothing left!!
Crowd: She must wish she had worn more clothes!!

Abidani: I'm shocked...You're almost naked while up against an amateur.
Abidani: You would have won for sure if you hadn't added a time limit.
Nana: Uhh!!

Abidani: You're losing because of your own rules? What have I been teaching you?
Abidani: It seems I need to teach you more!

11

Nana: N-no...I don't want to go back to the seminar!!
Nana: My real life begins here...!!

Mizuhara: Go, Na-chan!! Just twice more!!
Mizuhara: The way things are going, you've got this!!

Abidani: Then let's begin!!

Natsumi: Eh!?

Nana: Ah!?

Crowd: Whaaaaat!!?

12

Crowd: "1"!!
Crowd: All five of them are "1"!!?

Natsumi: ...Ah!?

Abidani: Well? The last answer was "625451".
Abidani: Is it too hard to make a prime number bigger than that out of 5 ones?

Nana: ...Ah!!

SFX: Ding diiing

13

Crowd: It's Kimura!!
Nana: Kh!!
Crowd: Hiruko went for it too, but Na-chan was slightly faster!!

Nana: Damn it!! Are you going to do this by intuition again!?
Natsumi: Nope!! That's not all I have this time!!

Crowd: To use 5 ones and make a prime number bigger than 100 thousand you need to take 11 to the 11th power first!!
Crowd: You're right...
Crowd: But no matter what power you take an odd number to it'll still be odd, so, whether you odd or subtract the remaining "1", it'll be even.*
Note at bottom: * (11 to the 11th + 1) and (11 to the 11th - 1) are both even.

Natsumi: So the only possibilities for a prime number...

14

Natsumi: are either sticking a one to the beginning or end of "11 to the 11th power"!!

Nana: Wha-!?
Nana: Don't screw around!! "Either"!?
Nana: You can only give one answer!! I won't let you make two bets!!

Nana: If I'm wrong, I'll take off 2 pieces of clothing!!!
Nana: How about that!!?

Crowd: T-two pieces!? That would be her bra and panties...!!
Crowd: Whoever loses this will be completely nude!!

15

Abidani: Ha ha ha ha!! Interesting!!
Abidani: I'll allow it, Kimura!!
Nana: Ah...Abidani-sensei!! Don't be ridiculous!!

Abidani: Quiet, Hiruko...You're a seminar student, so have some courage and finish this!!
Abidani: If Kimura wins, you'll be back to the seminar no matter what you say!! Okay!!?

Abidani: 11 to the 11th power is..."285311670611"!! Putting a one before or after it makes...
Abidani: "1 trillion 285 billion 311 million 670 thousand 611" or "2 trillion 853 billion 116 million 706 thousand 111"!!
Abidani: Do you really want to bet on these two numbers!?

16

Natsumi: Yes!! This is it, Hiruko!!!
Nana: Ugh...

Mizuhara: Na-chan isn't just lucky, she's strong...
Mizuhara: There's no way she could know when it's at 1 or 2 trillion...

Tomu: No...Her confidence isn't just from her luck.
Mizuhara: Eh?
Tomu: She bet on this after seeing Hiruko's movement.

Tomu: Hiruko hadn't made a move yet, but she moved her hand to the button.
Tomu: They must have both realized there were only 2 possible answers at the same instant.

Mizuhara: ...I see!! If she can rule it down that far, Hiruko can use her calculation ability!!
Mizuhara: So Hiruko might know which one is prime!?
Mizuhara: Na-chan read that in her movement and hit the button ahead of her!!

17

Tomu: Yes...
Tomu: I hope that's what it was, but...

Abidani: Now for the announcement!! Her answer was...
Natsumi: Don't worry, senpai!!
Natsumi: I've got this!!

Abidani: Her answer waaaaaas...!!!

18

Abidani: Too bad!!!!

19

Natsumi: Eh...!?

Tomu: I was right...It was a bluff!!!

Nana: Ahh ha ha ha!! Both of them can easily be divided by "3"!!!
Nana: You bought my bluff wonderfully!!!

Natsumi: N...
Natsumi: Noooooooo!!!

20

Tomu: That's enough!!!
Natsumi: Senpai.
Tomu: "Team Shirasagi" accepts defeat in the first round!!!
