## Summary

Soutarou stopped. Sachiko asks him why he stopped. He answers that there is no loaded die helping Sakura out. Soutarou believes that even if Sachiko added a male die, it makes no difference. He believes that Sachiko just added one to confuse the players. Sachiko confirms that there are no loaded dice, and the game is fair. Mikura announces that the winner is Sakura, shocking both Soutarou and Nagi. Since Mary and Sakura won, Nagi and Soutarou must not join the call to action and must stay away from the Literary Club. Sachiko will not tolerate any violations of this bet.

Sachiko tells Nagi that right now, he’s useless to Aoi. Soutarou asks Sakura why she lied about having a loaded die. Sachiko says that Sakura already told him: Soutarou doesn’t have the strength. She explains that limit dice is a test of willpower. Soutarou didn’t realize that Sakura’s words were meaningless. He tried to find a meaning from them. Soutarou was at his limit. Sachiko finds that it’s a good thing Soutarou won’t join the call to action, as he’s weak. She doubts Aoi even needs him.

Soutarou is about to break down. Sakura says that she tricked him with a lie, and that it shows how much stronger his feelings are for Aoi than hers are. She tells Soutarou that he would have never stopped if they'd have played normally, and that he would have played a major role in the call to action. That’s why she wanted to stop him no matter what. Sakura tries to get Soutarou to help her stop Aoi unsuccessfully. Nagi is surprised about Soutarou not being angry. Nagi thought that Soutarou would think he betrayed him. Soutarou says that he’s just surprised that Nagi can misread people. He tells Nagi they just need to improve together from now on. Everyone leaves the room.

Kurumi came back to Sachiko’s room. She challenges her to a gamble. Sachiko finds that Sakura was such a pity. Sakura bet herself to win the match, but she didn’t even realize that the call to action had already begun. Naoko and Houko challenge Yuriko to a public match. Eneru and Shimizu went on the stage during Yumemi’s concert. Eneru congratulates her for her new student council seat and wants a public match with her.

Sayaka informs Kirari that multiple public matches are taking place around the school. She thinks this was clearly planned. Kirari answers that it explains why a girl is standing behind her. Sayaka didn’t even notice her. It’s Ouri. She requests a public match against Kirari. Mary, Sakura, Yukimi, and Tsuzura enter the Literary Club’s room. They’re all shocked, as they find Aoi and Runa. Aoi wants a match with Mary.

## Plot

### Limit Dice

Soutarou stopped. Mary supposes that Soutarou thus never rolled a six. Sachiko asks him why he stopped. He answers that there is no loaded die helping Sakura out. Soutarou believes that even if Sachiko added a male die, it makes no difference. He believes that Sachiko just added one to confuse the players. Sachiko confirms that there are no loaded dice and the game is fair. Mikura announces that the winner is Sakura, shocking both Soutarou and Nagi. Since Mary and Sakura won, Nagi and Soutarou must not join the call to action and must stay away from the Literary Club. Sachiko will not tolerate any violations of this bet.

Sachiko tells Nagi that right now, he’s useless to Aoi. Yukimi and Tsuzura are happy, as their club is safe from Nagi and Soutarou. Soutarou asks Sakura why she lied about having a loaded die. Sachiko says that Sakura already told him: Soutarou doesn’t have the strength. She explains that limit dice is a test of willpower. Soutarou realized that male and female die made no difference. He didn’t realize that Sakura’s words were also meaningless. He tried to find a meaning from them. Soutarou was at his limit. Sachiko finds that it’s a good thing Soutarou won’t join the call to action, as he’s weak. She doubts Aoi even needs him.

Soutarou is about to break down. Sakura says that she tricked him with a lie, and that it shows how much stronger his feelings are for Aoi than hers are. She tells Soutarou that he would have never stopped if they'd have played normally, and that he would have played a major role in the call to action. That’s why she wanted to stop him no matter what. Sakura says that the call to action will fail and asks Soutarou to help her stop Aoi. Soutarou can’t accept. He thinks that Aoi is a great man who thinks and acts on behalf of housepets. That’s what his will tells him. Even if he can’t join the call to action, Soutarou wants to be able to express his will sometime.

Nagi is surprised about Soutarou not being angry. Nagi thought that Soutarou would think he betrayed him. Soutarou says that he’s just surprised that Nagi can misread people. He tells Nagi they just need to improve together from now on. Mikura thanks the four players and asks everyone to leave the room.

Yukimi, who was worried for the Literary Club, thanks Sakura. Sakura thanks Mary. Sakura feels that taking out two councilors of Full-Bloom will make the call to action hard to pull off. Tsuzura asks her what Full-Bloom's goal is with the call to action. Sakura doesn’t know exactly. She knows that it’s meant to wipe out the student council.

### Call to Action

Kurumi came back to Sachiko’s room. She challenges her to a gamble. Mikura is shocked, and Sachiko stays unfazed. Sachiko wants Kurumi to explain why she participates in the call to action. Kurumi answers that Aoi will be angry if she backs off at this point and she’s got no friends on the student council. Sachiko finds that Sakura was such a pity. Sakura bet herself to win the match, but she didn’t even realize that the call to action had already begun.

A member of the Traditional Culture Club informs Yuriko that girls have been occupying their den. They’re demanding to see Yuriko. It’s Naoko and Houko. They challenged her to a public match.

Eneru and Shimizu went on the stage during Yumemi’s concert. Eneru congratulates her for her new student council seat. She wants a public match with Yumemi.

Sayaka rushes into the student council room. She finds Kirari and informs her that multiple public matches are taking place around the school. Sayaka thinks this was clearly planned. Kirari answers that it explains why a girl is standing behind her. Sayaka didn’t even notice her. It’s Ouri. Ouri requests a public match against Kirari.
