Episode 2

**You Have a Lot to Say to Me, Don`t You?** (あるでしょ, 話したいことが色々..., *Aru Desho, Hanashitai Koto ga Iroiro...*) is the 2nd episode of Tomodachi Game anime series.

## Synopsis

Yuuichi and friends reach the end of Kokkuri-san, uncovering dimensions of trickery in the Tomodachi Game that they hadn't imagined. When they move on to a second game, a socially destructive version of sugoroku, the group struggles to maintain balance as personal secrets are revealed and trust is stretched to its absolute limit.

## Summary

Yuuichi asks the group if they want him to tell them the color of the underwear and he will do if they ask him. However, he knows they won't talk as otherwise they will double their debt which they worked so hard to halve. Shuuichi figured that someone is trying to dump all the debt to Yutori, but as he now talked, his debt is doubled, making him the one with the most debt. However, if its game over, the traitor will be the big loser, because on Yuuichi's card is said that there is change of rules and the penalty will go to the one with the least debt. Maria is surprised, but Tsukino explains he is bluffing, but there is a chance they will believe him. She tells Maria to imagine that she is the traitor and that she was going to "hunt" down Yutori, but realized she is now "hunted". But you cannot speak, as that will be a confession that you have the least debt. Yuuichi then states he is joking and there is no traitor, and wants to return to the game, where the answer is "yes" to the fifth question. However, as he makes a serious look, Yukino recognizes it as a final threat, asking all to say "yes" or the traitor will be the one to die. The coin then moves to "yes" and they manage to clear the game. Yukino notes that they cleared the game, but Yuuichi is paying a price, however, he managed to plant the seed of doubt that one of them is a traitor.

Yuuichi wonders on how to find the traitor. He asks all what is their current debt and Tenji states it should be the same as everyone else's, 3.6million. They are worried about Yuuichi's debt, but he explains its the same as he managed to cut it in half, before doubling it, so its 3.6million too. Yuuichi states their answers didn't match likely because their are nervous, but wants their to trust each other in the second game. Manabu calls them for the second game, but Yuuichi states he needs to tie his shoelace and stays behind for a moment. He doesn't believe they all have the same debt and decides to check their question cards, but notices that some of the text starts to disappear. Maria and Yukino note that he realized it, but explain they used special ink that will disappear after certain amount of time and cover the condition of each question card. Shiho joins Yuuichi, sharing that she also believes there is a traitor and asks him to tell her who he is considering. Yuuichi reveals he considers her, due to what she said before the game of not needing to look for whose debt it was, as Shiho would never forgive the thief who stole the school trip money. Shiho then apologizes, stating she believed Yuuichi was the one who stole the money. Yuuichi gets angry, thinking she pitied him for being poor, but Shiho reveals its because she likes him. Shiho no longer believes he stole it and confesses that her debt isn't 3.6million, but 7.6million. Shiho believes that in the moment she almost yelled, she made a small noise, which doubled her debt. While he was likely trying to protect Yutori during the fifth question, he ended up actually protecting Shiho. She then states she won't betray Yuuichi and will believe him no matter what. Yukino states that Yuuichi is sharp when money are involved, but that isn't enough to win the game, as there are others willing to destroy that friendship, revealing that Tenji was eavesdropping on Yuuichi and Shiho.

For the second game, they head up to the school's roof. There Manabu comes out as "Manabu-sensei", stating that they are keeping secrets from each other and today they will be revealing them. Manabu reveals they are being watched by "gods" and the second game would be Bad-Mouth Sugoroku, a game where you win by taking your friends to hell. They will be writing secrets on cards. The cards can be empty or contain lies, but if found to lie, they start from the beginning and the number of spaces they move will be determined by the gods survey. Makoto has a hard time understanding the rules and Manabu decides to explain it better. They enter a room, where they have 3 minutes to write bad things about others. Manabu then collects them and reads a bad-mouth for everyone and gives some examples. The gods then vote which one is the most unforgivable, and they vote for Makoto having a "wig" as first place, letting him move 5 spaces, while the last one moves only 1 space. However, the first to reach the goal will suffer a massive loss and when at least one person reaches the goal, they clear the game and each will receive 400k yen. However, anyone remaining in the game will receives an additional 1 million debt. They won't have to play the third game and can go home for a while. If they all turn blank cards, there won't be a gods survey and all move one space. They can do that for each round and finish the game together, but then all will be forced to play the third game.

The first period starts and all cards are blank. They move one space and end on a square stating those who step on it, loose 100k yen. Yuuichi figures that there are 60 spaces and if they step on each, it will be an additional six million yen debt. The second round is again only blanks, but the next square takes 500k from them. Manabu then states that all the debt they collect during this game will be given to the one who first reaches the goal. In the third round, one of the cards isn't blank, saying that Shiho likes Yuuichi, but she used to date Tenji. The gods then vote for Shiho, making her move 5 spaces, while the rest 1 space each. Shiho ends on a square losing another 500k yen, while the rest on a square that doesn't take or give them anything. Makoto wonders why Yuuichi is so calm, as he didn't knew that Shiho likes him. As Makoto likes her, he wonders if they mocked him. Tenji tries to calm Makoto, stating he knows Shiho well. Shiho then states they are childhood friends with Tenji due to their fathers being close friends. One day they decided that Shiho and Tenji should marry and Shiho and Tenji pretended to date in front of them, until Tenji's father died two years ago and Tenji changed schools. Makoto then states that's a lie and Manabu confirms that if they had no feelings it would be a lie. Shiho confirms they didn't had feelings for each other, but Tenji states he had and still loves her, which is why he always gets pissed when Makoto's thoughtless attitude towards Shiho. Makoto states Tenji should have told him and he would have stayed off Shiho, but Tenji explains he couldn't as he knew that Shiho likes Yuuichi. Makoto then wonders why he wrote it as only they knew about their past, but Tenji explains that he didn't as naturally he would be the first suspect and its likely Makoto who wrote it, hearing some rumours and wanting to confirm them. Before things escale more, Yuuichi manages to calm them all down. Yutori approaches Shiho, stating that all the boys fall for her and that eventually Yuuichi too will fall for her.

In the fourth round, there are 3 non-blank cards. Manabu reads that Makoto took baths with his mother until junior high, Yuuichi once didn't bath for a week, and that Shiho had a plastic surgery. The gods then vote Shiho as first, Yuuichi as second and Makoto as third. Makoto doesn't believe the plastic surgery, but Shiho wonders if he would still liked her if it was true.
