Moe is convinced that Terano cheated, but Yumeko explains that the Fasciation Hall is shaped like a flattened view of a twelve-sided die and that it’s possible to always obtain thirteen points by having two people in opposite rooms. Moe thinks that Terano is looking down on her because she hadn’t told her about this strategy. Moe then stabs Yumi. Sukaru used a stick to stun Moe and asks people watching through the cameras for a health counselor. Yumi tells Terano not to worry. She believes that someday the housepets will know that Terano was just thinking for their happiness.

## Plot

### Turn Four

Moe is panicking. She doesn’t trust Terano anymore. She ends up getting twelve points. Moe tells herself that she’ll defeat Yumeko and fulfill her orders. However, she realizes something.

The showdown of the fourth round is between Moe and Terano. This surprises Yumeko, Ryota, and Nanami. Moe tells Terano that she constantly looked down on the housepets. Yumi says that Terano didn’t. The showdown begins. Terano won with thirteen against twelve. Moe is convinced that Terano cheated. Yumeko explains to Moe that it’s possible to score thirteen points every round.

The Fasciation Hall is made up of twelve connected pentagonal rooms. It’s a flattened view of a twelve-sided die. Two rooms can’t have the same number, so the points are like the results of a dice roll. So, two opposite sides will always give a total of thirteen. If two people are in opposite rooms, their combined score will be thirteen.

Moe thinks that Terano knew that and asks her why she didn’t tell her. Terano responds that NPCs have to continually attack because of their life schedule. If the housepets knew that strategy, they’d all collude and defend themselves. That would go against the conditions they needed to fulfill as NPCs. Thus, Terano believed that not giving them this information would be the best thing for their sake.

Moe believes that this is exactly what looking down on her is. She pulls out the knife Yumi had given to the housepets and attacks her. Sukaru used a stick to stun Moe. She then asks people watching through the cameras for a health counselor. Yumi tells Terano not to worry. She believes that someday the housepets will know that Terano was just thinking for their happiness.

### Flashback

Terano is about to get a servant. She says that she doesn’t need one. Yumi, the servant, was a foundling. The adult tells Terano that Yumi will live and die for her. Yumi smiles at Terano. At this moment, Terano thought that being able to take people like this child in and allow them to live is what a home and what a family is.
