She believes that Mary abandoned Tsuzura. Chitose is frightened by Kanade, but she’s fine with that since she doesn’t have to be with him. Chitose confesses to Nobuya.

Chitose sent signals to the boys. Mary says that never really doubted Kurumi, Yukimi, and Tsuzura. She figured Kurumi would change her answer, as she had no reason to trust her. Mary signaled her plan in writing to Yukimi. She trusted her. Mary had handed a paper to Yukimi to give her the den’s ownership. The name of the den was a fake one. Yukimi understood that Mary tried to send her a message, and that she was putting on an act.

Yukimi figured she had to confess to someone else. In the beginning of the game, Mary said that this game would be theirs to take, and that they were destined to become winners. This made Tsuzura realize that Mary was still on her side. Tsuzura knew that choosing Kanade posed the greatest risk to her, but she still made this gamble. Mary thanks Chitose and the boys.

Mary tells them that they only won today because she knew Tsuzura and Yukimi would have her back. The three girls make a promise: To never let anyone get between the three of them again.

## Plot

Mary considers the possibility of Tsuzura being the traitor. Sachiko announces that for the second round, all 10 of them will play again at the same table. They’re confused, as five couples were formed. Sachiko explains that all of this amuses her. Mary tells Tsuzura and Yukimi that she’s dropping out. Mary has accumulated debt. She plans on borrowing money to her parents to get through this. Tsuzura and Yukimi try to convince Mary to play again. Mary tells them to stop depending on her. She says that the two of them got along fine without her before.

Yukimi was able to pay for her room on her own, and Tsuzura’s family is wealthy. Mary tells Tsuzura that she can’t help her anymore, but Kanade can. Tsuzura says that the Mary she thought she knew would never give up because of this situation. She cries and convinces Mary to play again. Mary thinks of a possibility other than Tsuzura betraying them. Mary gets the other girls to play again. She says that she will explain her plan for them to win. She wants Tsuzura to not listen.

Mary explains her plan. They’ll all pick a different boy to confess to again. She tells them that this time is going to be different because Tsuzura betrayed them by informing the boys about their picks. Mary believes they’d probably only end up with one couple. She adds that they have an advantage with the benefits they’ll pick. Yukimi firmly doesn’t want to sleep with someone she doesn’t know. Yukimi wants to leave the team. Mary reminds Yukimi that if she gives up now, she gives up on her gambling den.

Mary gives Yukimi the ownership of the gambling den. Yukimi, Kurumi, and Chitose all accept to play again. Mary asks Chitose for a lineup card. She says she’ll take care of that. Mary picks couples for the girls. Yukimi asks why she has to be with Kanade again. Mary refuses to explain to them her picks. Kurumi finds this situation amusing. Mary trusts nobody here. She realizes that Mary put herself last. It’s the safest position. Mary is sure to not pick the same boy as someone.

Meanwhile, the boys are having a conversation. Kanade wants to leave the game. He believes that Tsuzura and Yukimi both don’t like him. Kanade figured out that a dinner date won’t change anything. Kanade adds that they can’t do the “same thing” again. Ren points out that even if they lose, the patsy is going to cover their debts. Nobuya comes back and says that he found out who the girls are confessing to. Kanade reminds the boys that he isn’t playing this game for money. Nobuya informs Kanade that Yukimi picked him and offered a sleepover. Kanade accepts to play again.

Mary, Yukimi, and Tsuzura pick sleepover. Mary says that this game will be theirs to take and that they were destined to become winners. Chitose, the traitor, is surprised by Mary playing again. She believes that Mary abandoned Tsuzura, so it makes sense for Mary to do the same plan as in round one, but without telling Tsuzura. Chitose thinks that Mary’s plan is already a failure, as she’s the traitor, not Tsuzura. Kanade is the heir of a rich corporate CEO. The five boys begged Chitose to help them get girls in return for money. Chitose knows that Kanade is obsessed with women who present themselves with stereotypical ideas of femininity. Kanade is only playing this game to take advantage of the benefits.

Chitose admits to herself that Kanade frightens her. She’s fine with that since she doesn’t have to be with him. Chitose confesses to Nobuya despite liking Mamoru. Chitose feels as if she would get suspected if she didn’t pair up with someone. She predicts that at least four couples will be formed since she doesn’t know who Tsuzura will pick. Kurumi confesses to Mamoru, shocking Chitose and the boys. Chitose reminds Kurumi of the plan. Kurumi responds that Mary told them there was a traitor among them, so it wouldn’t make sense to follow the plan.

As Yukimi makes her pick, Kanade looks back on his life. His 17 years of life have been filled with rejection from girls. He creeps girls out. He believes that it’s all coming to an end, as he should have a sleepover with Yukimi. Yukimi confesses to Haruto. The boys and Chitose are shocked again. Chitose wonders if Yukimi betrayed Mary too. Tsuzura confesses to Kanade. Ren is angry about Tsuzura risking to pick Kanade, as he made it clear he liked her in the first round. Mary picks Kanade too. Round two ends and there has only been one successful pairing: Chitose and Nobuya.

Mary goes to see Chitose and tells her that her attempt to betray them didn’t work. Chitose denies Mary’s accusations. Mary informs Chitose that she has kept a close eye on everything she has done. Mary points out that the dealer didn’t say their names during the game, Mikura kept saying: next person, next lady, next player, or other ways to not say the players’ names. Mary remembers the lineup cards. All the girls sat at the table in the order they’d written down on that card. This corresponded to when they needed to make their confessions. They assumed their names were in the order they’d all agreed on.

Mary considered the possibility of the person writing the order of their names on the lineup card sliding them one position forward. Yukimi understands that even if they were confessing in their seated order, the number assigned to the confessor on the chart belonged to someone else. Before they got to say who they were picking, the boys would have already seen the card and know who the girls were confessing to. Only Chitose, who had volunteered to submit the lineup card, would have this opportunity. So, Mary wrote everything down herself during the second round.

Sachiko explains the different trick Chitose used in the second round. Chitose sent signals to the boys. Sachiko asks Mary how she overcame this. Mary says that she never really doubted Kurumi, Yukimi, and Tsuzura. She gambled that Kurumi wasn’t the traitor. Mary figured Kurumi would change her answer, as she had no reason to trust her. Mary signaled her plan in writing to Yukimi. She trusted her. Mary had handed a paper to Yukimi to give her the den’s ownership. The name of the den was a fake one. Yukimi understood that Mary tried to send her a message, and that she was putting on an act.

Yukimi figured she had to confess to someone else. In the beginning of the game, Mary said that this game would be theirs to take, and that they were destined to become winners. This made Tsuzura realize that Mary was still on her side. Tsuzura knew that choosing Kanade posed the greatest risk to her, but she still made this gamble. Chitose doesn’t understand what kind of relationship Mary and Tsuzura have that made this possible. Mary thanks Chitose and the boys. She says that they were easy to beat, and they owe her a lot of money.

Aoi learns that Mary made a two million yen comeback in the second round. He now wants to keep Mary close. Aoi believes that Mary is necessary for his plan to work.

As Mary, Tsuzura, and Yukimi head back to their den, Mary apologizes to them because she actually doubted them. Yukimi tries to comfort Mary. Tsuzura hugs Mary. She thought that Mary really wanted to get rid of her. Mary tells them that they only won today because she knew Tsuzura and Yukimi would have her back. The three girls make a promise: To never let anyone get between the three of them again.
