## Summary

As the game of Nim Type Zero comes to an end and Yumeko Jabami is nursed back to health.

## Plot

Miyo Inbami realizes something is amiss with the cards her and Miri Yobami were dealt, they both have a 0, 1, 3, 3 and believes Runa Yomozuki did something.

Mary Saotome explains what happened, Runa shuffled using a trick known as a "Gilbreath shuffle" a way to shuffle decks that ensures that with a deck of 4 different suits, each 4 cards will always feature all suits. Since the suits in this game are instead the values 0, 1, 2, 3 in simple terms it means that in every game there were a total of four of each number, redistributed randomly. This is why Mary had Ryota Suzui reveal his hand, as this allowed Mary to know by process of elimination, know what suits the Devouring Families had. Miri inquires that even if this is true she could not tell who had what exactly. Mary mockingly tells them she was sure to win. She asks Ryota if she spots anything in their combined hands, and he notices that him and Mary have all the 2, knowing this Mary says the sisters have one less play available and thus much easier to predict and that no matter what, they were doomed to fail from the very beginning. Mary thanks Ryota for his trust and further mocks that they believed the students of the academy to be spoiled brats, but that interestingly enough they made a bet they in a losing game.

Miyo protests this as claiming the Dealer was rigged. Runa counters this by stating she used this setup since the first round and that nobody was given unfair advantage. She faults Miyo's overconfidence in her poison and her incompetence and noticing her surroundings. Mura prides herself in the fact that even if poison is thrown into mix, no matter the circumstances, the school will make it so everyone, including the dead have a chance to win, being the true essence of a gambler that cannot be swayed by mere violence.

It is Miri's turn next and the poison affects her. She plays a 1 while Ryota, Miyo, and Mary play a 1, 0 and 0 respectively. Miri's turn next, Miyo tells her to play a 3 and sacrifice herself so as to allow Miyo in the election as she is in better shape. Miri obeys but wonders why she looks so threatening. Miri plays a 3 and collapses, which makes the Devouring sisters lose.

As Miri faints and she is unable to prick her finger, Miyo takes Miri's hand and pricks her finger. She then takes her sister away and vows to destroy Mary the next time.

Due to Miri incurring in a huge debt of 10,000 votes, she is officially out of The Election.
Yumeko Jabami receives the serum, her health stabilizes, and looks better. Ryota gives his thanks to Mary for her cooperation, and reveals Yumeko's suggestion to bring Mary to replace her. Mary believes Yumeko had realized the shuffle trick and gambled on the possibility that Mary would realize too, seeing that Yumeko is a true "gambling addict", as she would gamble away even her own life.

Mary looms over Yumeko's face and mutters her intentions to be the Student Council President.
