**I Won't Yield!** (この場所は譲らないつ！*Kono Basho Wa Yuzuranai!)*is the twefth episode. It aired on September 17, 2015.

## Synopsis

On knowing the truth from Yukimura concerning the previous Toy Gun Gun members, Hotaru's resilence leads her to challenge Masamune to a duel, on the condition that she'd join the Team if she won even once against him.

## Plot

Hotaru Tachibana, Masamune Matsuoka and Tooru Yukimura head to a battlefield which Yukimura reserved. Tachibana challenges Matsuoka to a duel and if she wins, there is something she wants Matsuoka to say. Matsuoka doesn't feel obligated to accept, however Tachibana states he can't get away for dragging her into this world and trying to just leave. In the end, Matsuoka agrees and states that if he wins, Tachibana will never be associated with Toy Gun Gun again.

Tachibana enters first the field and Matsuoka follows later, only to find that Tachibana waits for him in the beginning. He manages to avoid her and figures she wants revenge for being kicked out and eventually manages to hit her, however she refuses to stop and requests another game. Matsuoka agrees, figuring he will need to play until Tachibana is satisfied and plans on telling Yukimura that he is quitting participating in TGC as he is tired of losing. They keep playing and Tachibana keeps losing, but requesting another game. Matsuoka tells her its their last game as even playing hundred more, she won't beat him, however Tachibana states she will continue to challenge him as the 101st may be the one she gets a chance to win. Tachibana wants to win against Midori with Toy Gun Gun, making Matsuoka wonder that she isn't here for revenge. Matsuoka wonders why Tachibana won't leave him, even after the things he told her, but Tachibana states she won't let a friend in pain. Tachibana comments that she was hurt when he kicked her out, but its natural as Toy Gun Gun goal was to win and getting rid of the weak teammate is logical, however the enemy team made her realize she is selfish and won't let anyone else take the third spot and help them win as she wants to help her friends, not someone else. Tachibana ends up charging forward at Matsuoka, who comments that way she can't win at TGC, but as she is the only person that keeps returning to him after being left, he starts to cry and can't see and Tachibana ends up winning.

After the game, Tachibana tells Matsuoka to say the same thing he told her when she lost her first survival game to him. Matsuoka is surprised that's the only thing she wants and tells her to join his survival game team and they will become the strongest team in Japan and Tachibana agrees, making Matsuoka blush. Yukimura states he won't apologize as Matsuoka only thinks of those that left and never about him. Matsuoka then thanks him for getting mad at him, making Yukimura soft and starts apologizing to Matsuoka. They leave, while deciding to start training to defeat Midori. The next day, Tachibana isn't afraid anymore and feels she can tell them, she is a girl.
