## Summary

The crowd of students and Ruri are getting impatient. Aoi thinks to himself that Mary is amazing. Ruri tries to force the players to showdown. Mary reveals her ace. Aoi is too afraid to admit defeat, so he doesn’t flip his card. Ruri sees this as a violation of the rules and declares the Literary Club winners of Conquer the Land.

Mary, perplexed, wants Aoi to flip his card. Sachiko explains that the card’s value doesn’t matter, as Mary already won the game. Sachiko spitefully asks Aoi how he is feeling. Aoi admits that he couldn’t flip his card over. He wasn’t capable of just losing. Aoi cries and declares that from the start, he never had it in him to become president.

Aoi envied, feared, and raged at those above him. He also looked up to them. He still could never reach Kirari. Aoi says that it was stupid. Sakura slaps Aoi in the face. She’s angry at him because a lot of people trusted him, and he used and betrayed them, but he still couldn’t flip his last card. Aoi tells Sakura that this is his weakness.

Sakura explains that Aoi is too weak to carry that weakness by himself. She wants him to show her his weaker side. Sakura cries. Aoi believes that he shooed away a good woman who was by his side. He realizes that if he had shown Sakura his weakness, then he might have been able to win this game, which would have permitted him to live his life with her.

Aoi apologizes to Sakura and leaves the room. Meanwhile, Mary wants the Literary Club to keep growing from here. Sachiko leaves the room and admits to herself that Mary did something brilliant. She really wants to see how it’ll end for Mary.
