The third game, Friendly Hide-and-Seek, then reaches its conclusion.

## Summary

Juuzou stands over Yuuichi after punching him. Manabu announces the winner of the third game, Friendly Hide-and-Seek, to be Group C. Kei is surprised and notes that they found the enemy hider first. Manabu confirms, but states that isn't the only way to win. Kei then turns and see Juuzou apologizing to everyone for pushing the give-up button.

A bit earlier, Yuuichi is shocked of how things turned. He asks Hyakutarou if everyone left and as he confirms, Yuuichi stops being depressed and wants to continue, stating that the moment Hyakutarou switched teams, Group C win became certain. Yuuichi states that he didn't want this to turn to this. He calls Juuzou and asks him to press the give-up button. Juuzou naturally declines. Yuuichi states he will be punching Hyakutarou until he presses the button and starts punching him. Juuzou thinks this is a bluff and wonders why Hyakutarou isn't making a noise. Yuuichi is surprised too as he didn't expect Hyakutarou to be tough. He gives the phone to Hyakutarou, who has difficulty speaking, but states Juuzou is correct and Yuuichi is bluffing. Hearing the waver in his speech, Juuzou starts thinking he is indeed being punched. Reiko who watches Yuuichi punching Hyakutarou, notes that he isn't a monster, but a devil. Juuzou asks Hyakutarou to hold on as Kei will soon find the hider. Yuuichi then states he will break something that can't be fixed. Yuuichi knows they are a basketball team and Hyakutarou practised a lot to score his shots, due to missing and causing an injury to Juuzou. Yuuichi intends to break Hyakutarou's finger, stating that even after it heals, it won't be the same and won't have the same precision as before. Yuuichi gives Juuzou ten seconds and gags Hyakutarou's mouth to not bite his tongue. After ten seconds, he breaks his finger. Juuzou hears it and as he had heard same sound when he got injured, he believes its true and apologizes to Hyakutarou. Yuuichi states he will proceed breaking his fingers. Juuzou call his a scum, but Yuuichi states the scum is Juuzou as he started it all, as Group K is playing the Tomodachi Game due to Juuzou's debt.

Back at after the game, Yuuichi explains that no one knew about the debt and they didn't want to talk about it. Initially he was thinking the debt belonged to Kei and Juuzou was protecting him, but as he realizes Kei is commanding Juuzou, it meant that Juuzou is the one with the debt. Juuzou explains that his family business was sinking in debt and it got so bad that he was going to quit school and start working. However, he wanted to play one last tournament with everyone, and Kei states he would help him pay it, on the condition Juuzou obeys Kei. Juuzou apologizes and states its all his fault. However, he can't forgive Yuuichi and continues punching him. Hyakutarou stops him, but Juuzou wonders why as he broke his finger. Hyakutarou shows his fingers are find, that surprises Juzou as he was sure he heard a bone breaking. He then realizes and checks Yuuichi's hand and see he broke his own finger. Yuuichi states they had reasons why they can't lose and he couldn't think of a better way, guessing he really is a cowardly piece of shit. Juuzou wonders why Hyakutarou didn't tell him and Hyakutarou reveals that Yuuichi promised to let Juuzou hit him as much as he hit Hyakutarou. Juuzou states they indeed lost.

Kei, however, can't accept that. and its Juuzou who lost. Kei's plan was perfect, but the rest held him back. Banri then picks up Kei and spanks him, making Kei wonder why his big brother is doing that. Banri states he isn't his real brother, but they grew up together and he is like his big brother. Banri tells Kei to give up as his strategy didn't account for this situation, thus he lost. Juuzou also made the right decision to press the button, because if he had let down Hyakutarou, he would have lost everyone's respect. Juuzou states he will try making them transfer all their debt to him and hopes the other four won't split up. Maria wonders if Yuuichi knew who she is. Yuuichi states she is from the management. She was seemingly weak and insecure, but managed to follow his difficult instructions too perfect. As he knew she was from the management, he pushed her off the cliff without any guilt. Yuuichi's reaction when she betrayed him was part of the plan on making them think they will win and leave Yuuichi behind. Yuuichi asks Maria to tell her bosses that he will absolutely crush them. Tenji doesn't think that Yuuichi is a cowardly piece of shit. He may not have the nicest ideas, but he didn't break Group K's friendship. Tenji is sure that Yuuichi is a good person. Yuuichi thinks to himself that if Juuzou didn't push the button, he may have broken Hyakutarou's finger, as his old him would have done it without flinching. Yuuichi wonders if Tenji knew that part of him, would he think he is still a good person.

Yuuichi and Tenji are released for a while until the fourth game starts. They go to school and find Yutori trying to clean the bad messages left, calling them thieves and wishing their death. Yutori starts crying and reveals that Shiho and Makoto had disappeared. Yutori explains that a week ago, Manabu informs Yutori, Shiho and Makoto that since they won't participate in the third game, they can go home temporarily. However, they can't talk about the game or should not run away. Manabu reveals that the Group C's total debt is 10.8 million yen, which surprises Shiho, who states they shouldn't listen to Manabu as it may poison their friendship. Manabu states they are free to believe him or not, but Yuuichi and Tenji also already know the total debt. Tenji believes that Shiho's secret it out and that's why she ran away. Yutori isn't sure about what secret he means, but states there is a reason Shiho disappeared. Yutori explains that when they returned to school, the vice president Hanamiya questioned Shiho if its her who stole the trip funds. Normally the other classes stored the money into accounts, but their teacher said that Shiho insisted on collecting them in cash. Makoto tries to protect her, but Shiho stops him from revealing who stole it as its related to the game. Hanamiya states they also believe that Makoto is an accomplice. However, Makoto states thats ridiculous as he is rich and two million are nothing for him and will lend them the money. Yuuichi guesses that something bad happened after that. Yutori confirms and states two days later, Yutori's father was arrested as the police found about all that was revealed in the game. Yuuichi then realizes that Makoto talked to his father about the Tomodachi Game while asking him for two million yen. Makoto came back the next day, stating he couldn't get the money and everyone started bullying him. Shiho tried to stand up for him, but she also stopped coming to school. Other students come and wonder why Yuuichi and the rest are there and not with Makoto.

Heading to Makoto's house, Yuuichi and the rest learn that Makoto's father have been killed. The police then take out Makoto, who is covered in blood. Makoto tries to explains something to Yuuichi, but Shiho's father stops him. Seeing him Tenji gets angry, but Yuuichi stops him. Shiho's father explains its better to not get involved or they could lose someone important to them. Yuuichi states he doesn't have such person and threats don't work on him.

Yuuichi and Tenji wonder what to do. Yutori asks them what happened and it looks like they are now trusting each other again. Yuuichi states he is done with Yutori as after the second game, she didn't even say anything to him and looked at him as a monster. Yutori states she got scared when they said he was a murderer, but waited to find out the truth. Yuuichi yells at her that she is doing only what she is being told and he hates such people the most. He states she is useless in the Tomodachi Game as well and is a burden. Yutori knows that, which is why she always done what they want her to do to not get in their way. Yuuichi tells her she is a burden now and a stranger to them.

Later, Tenji wonders if this was the right decision, but Yuuichi explains that since lives are on the line, they should leave Yutori out of it, and can take Yutori's debt on them. Manbu calls Tenji, telling him they will be starting a special Tomodachi Game. He guesses that Yuuichi is there as well and questions him if threats don't really work on him. He then sends them a picture of tied up Yutori, stating the rules are simple: they either show up or not. If they show up, they will have a terrible time, if not, then Yutori will have a terrible time. Yuuchi will be playing the Weak Win Game. Manabu explains that if two people suffer the exact same pain, the one with self control won't scream, but the weak one will. People will feel sad for the weak one and go easy on him. If self control is a disadvantage, then its like the weak wins. Manabu asks Yuuichi to come to a specific location, alone. If he comes with someone else, he will never see Yutori again. Yuuichi states that if they do anything to Yutori, he will kill them. Yuuichi feels he needs to go as they involved Yutori in this and that this game will be different than the rest.
