## Summary

Tenji wonders how Yuuichi plans on destroying the relationship in Group K. When Manabu confirmed that the third member is a girl, Yuuichi decided to use her as "honey trap". Maria thanks Chisato for saving her life, but he states she should be thanking Hyakutarou. However, looking at him, Maria states she hates him as he was peeking on her while she was naked. Hyakutarou tries to explain it was an accident and that that she was in her underwear, confirming he saw her. He states he didn't remember it, but as Maria questions him, he apologizes, stating he do remembers it and its branded in his memory. Maria then smiles and states she lied, and thanks Hyakutarou for saving her. Her charming smiles, moves Hyakutarou. Chisato wonders what would have happened if Hyakutarou didn't save her and states that Yuuichi is an asshole, but terrified, Maria doesn't want to bad mouth him, fearing what he may do if he learns of it. The three decide to return to the food station, but Maria feels pain in her leg. Seeing that, Hyakutarou offers to carry her on his back and she agrees, telling him that he is really kind person and regrets that she ended up in Group C.

Back at the food station, Hyakutarou and Chisato tell Kei and Banri what happened. Kei realizes that if Yuuichi managed to get food, then the game could be prolonged even more. Yuuichi returns and starts ordering Maria, stating she belongs to him. Hyakutarou gets angry and tries to stand up for her, but Maria stops him, saying that's what Yuuichi wants. Angry, Yuuichi starts pulling Maria's hair for getting in his way. Kei tells Manabu that this is violence, and Manabu confirms, but states its against a own teammember and only violence against opponents is forbidden. Yuuichi then provokes them even more, stating he can do whatever he wants to Maria and that won't break any rules. Hyakutarou suggests that Maria joins their team, but Chisato stops him, stating that something feels off and wonders if they are being tricked. As Chisato have experience with women, he feels she may be acting. He and Hyakutarou then end up in an argument, getting ready to even fight, but Kei stops them and reminds them that their captain should decide if she can join or not. Yuuichi finds them pathetic for being unable to decide on their own if they should protect a girl. That angers Hyakutarou again and he wants to be the one who will talk to their captain. Kei accepts, but suggest they both go directly talking to him as that would be better.

Yuuichi thinks that since Juuzou haven't been here to solve the conflicts, the relationship between Chisato and Hyakutarou had worsen. He thinks Juuzou would likely allow Maria to join them, but according to their plan, Maria will decline, stating that Yuuichi is holding something against her. Hyakutarou then would lose control and hit Yuuichi. However, its quite possible that his teammates to hold him, but that will still increase the friction in their group relationship. Eventually, Yuuichi plans to influence Hyakutarou to switch to their side and if he do that, he is sure they will win, as has a few ways to make him spill their captain's location.

Several hours later, Kei and Hyakutarou return, and disappointed, Hyakutarou tells Maria that Juuzou didn't allow for her to switch sides. However, Juuzou told him that there is one more way to protect the girl. Chisato realizes it and tries to convince Hyakutarou to not do it, but he goes to Manabu and tells him he wishes to switch sides to Group C. Yuuichi immediately approves and Manabu announces that Hyakutarou is now part of Group C. Hyakutarou explains that he still plans to play for Group K and is ready to take the double debt when they win. Hyakutarou then attempts to punch Yuuichi, but he easily avoids and pins him to the ground. He tells him, he won't allow him to be violent in either group and he will tie him up. Yuuichi tells Group K that its a good time to go and talk with their captain.

Yuuichi calls Tenji and tells him that he managed to get one of their members in their group and now he only need to make him tell him where Juuzou is. Hyakutarou apologizes that he won't be able to protect Maria, but she is happy that he tried, however, she feels that Yuuichi may do horrible things to him to make him spill where their captain is. Hyakutarou states he is tough, but Maria tells him that Yuuichi will do anything and has even killed people. Hyakutarou is surprised and wishes to tell her where their captain is, but in reality, he doesn't really know. Yuuichi, who secretly listens to their conversation is shocked to hear that. Elsewhere, Juuzou tells Kei that Hyakutarou switched just like he suggested. Kei tell him its fine and part of his plan, but reminds Juuzou to talk politely to him when they are alone. Reiko is happy to see Yuuichi's surprised face. As Kei is now exposed to be the genius in her group, she states that a true genius is someone who controls and manipulates everything from the shadows.

Yuuichi asks Hyakutarou why he didn't see their captain, and Hyakutarou explains that on their way there, Kei received a call, telling them to get back to the food station as Group C was up to something. Having no choice, Kei then decided to call their captain and not visit him. Yuuichi realizes that Kei is the true leader and calls him. Kei realizes that he finally figured it out. Yuuichi tells him that he underestimated them and he didn't notice he was controlling their every move. Yuuichi has no intention on making another mistake, but Kei states they secured their win when they got the "time bomb" Hyakutarou. Kei states that while Yuuichi isn't as smart as him, he should be able to figure out what he means. Yuuichi is shocked and tells Maria that they will definitely lose. Juuzou comments that Kei looks happy and Kei confirms that thanks to Yuuichi he wasn't bored in the last few days. Juuzou asks if they are truly going to win and knowing he is a blockhead, Kei explains that there are two main points. Hyakutarou switching sides, but having no intention to betray them. And if a player uses violence against an opponent. And with those two things, they will eventually win. Kei then decides to find Tenji and get a clear win. Tsukino asks Reiko what is Kei's backstory and she explains he is a genius, but because of that gets bored of everything fast. She believes he joined Tomodachi Game just to kill some time. Tsukino wonders why Juuzou obeys him. Reiko guesses that Kei found his weak point.

As Yuuichi panics, Maria wonders what is happening. Yuuichi states its due to the violence rule and if Hyakutarou attacks someone from Group K, they will lose immediately. This is why Yuuichi tied up Hyakutarou, but he also expected they to win right away. As that isn't happening, Hyakutarou turns into a time bomb, which he needs to watch 24/7, making them unable to move. Yuuichi then figures they can hide Hyakutarou, but Chisato and Banri show up, saying he is too late. In the morning, Maria goes away. She is starting to feel bored and doesn't notice Kei, who comments he hoped to get her alone. He is sure that she is from the management, which surprises her that he figured it out. Kei explains that they received food rations based on how big their group is. Group C were only two people and they were given only water, however, when Maria showed up, she didn't look hungry at all. That makes her no ordinary player and its only logical she to be from the management. Kei states he could also ask her about her previous team, but feels its pointless. Maria also finds it pointless and asks him what he wants. Kei wants Maria to betray Yuuichi. As Group K is surely going to win, and as a player, it would be weird for her to not betray him. Maria comments she tried to play cute and innocent, and wonders if betraying him would make her feel like different character. Kei states he feels like a kind of person who likes fun over reason and logic, which surprises Maria that he figured her out. Kei tells her she will have more fun with him and he could make the sadistic Yuuichi crumble into pathetic failure. Maria gets excited as she finds that quite fun.

Maria calls Yuuichi, asking him if there is anyone nearby. Yuuichi tells her they are watching him, but are not close. She asks Yuuichi if he could tell her where Tenji is. As she is right now alone, she could bring him food. Yuuichi then sees Kei joining Chisato and Banri. If they are able to buy more time, Maria thinks that Yuuichi may be able to figure out something. Yuuichi then agrees and tells her. Maria then returns and goes to Kei, making him realizes she betrayed them. Yuuichi falls on his knees and yells in anger. Kei is confident that Yuuichi told her the actual location and as there is nothing he can do now, he suggest they should start searching before it gets dark.

As its getting dark, Kei calls Tenji. He tells him that Yuuichi is awful and is ready to let Tenji die as long as he wins. Kei states that Yuuichi is planning something terrible and Tenji should cut ties with him as soon as possible. Tenji states he doesn't know anything. However, Kei states he couldn't hear him and wants him to repeat it louder. Tenji gets angry and yells to keep his mouth shut as he doesn't know anything and that he is betting on Yuuichi. Kei state he heard him loud and clear and then appears in front of Tenji, stating he found him. Manabu announces that the game is over and all, including the hider, should come to the food station. Tenji is surprised that they lost, but Kei states they got the wrong opponents as he is genius.
