Summary[]
Sakura is shocked about Soutarou rolling six first. Soutarou kept the gamble going with the same expression the whole time. Mary believes that Soutarou has gotten stronger. The match restarts. After roll 1, Soutarou asks Sakura why she is trying to stop Aoi. She has no connection to Full-Bloom anymore. Sakura questions why she wants to stop Aoi. It’s clear why Soutarou is siding with Aoi. He wants to help the man he deeply respects.
Sakura remembers meeting Aoi in their first year of middle school. It was decided that Sakura would be Aoi’s fiancée. Sakura didn’t take him seriously. Aoi was a boy with more aspirations than anyone. A guy older in the middle school council beat Aoi up and told him to pull out of the election. Sakura wanted to report this immediately. Aoi tells her to keep quiet about this, as he got recorded evidence of what they did. Aoi planned on threatening the guys so they can become allies that would never betray him. Sakura realized that Aoi accepted any sacrifice that would take him to the top, including himself.
After roll 5, Mary is questioning whether Soutarou is bluffing or not. Sakura tells Soutarou that she wants to stop Aoi because he’s weak. Soutarou is furious. He responds that Aoi is on the council, he’s popular, and he’s trying to take down the council. Sakura informs Soutarou that Aoi was supposed to become council president. The 104th president wanted Aoi as a successor. Then, Kirari came along. She crushed the former president, so she took her position. Aoi couldn’t become president. Sakura implied that Aoi only created Full-Bloom to become president himself. Soutarou yells that she’s wrong. He adds that Aoi bet his own position to rescue a helpless housepet. Sakura says that Aoi couldn’t forgive anyone above him and will do anything to topple them, even bet himself away. Sakura believes that this makes Aoi weak. They keep rolling until roll 7. Sakura gives Soutarou advice. She tells him that he doesn’t have the strength to help Aoi.
Sakura explains that she selected a special die. She asks Soutarou why Sachiko went through the trouble of making them select a die among six dice. Sakura declares that the dice is loaded, and unlikely to roll six, shocking Soutarou. Sakura reminds him that she hadn’t rolled a six until roll 9 the last round. In a game like this, little differences lead to huge results. She tells Soutarou that she knows he hadn’t picked up on that and repeats that Soutarou is too weak to help Aoi. Soutarou, still shocked, turns to Sachiko. He reminds her that she banned cheating, and that would violate the rule. Sachiko answers that she only banned the players from cheating, she can do whatever she wants. Yukimi is confident that Sakura can win this time, while Mary still has doubts.
Nagi tells Soutarou to not let Sakura trick him. He thinks that she’s lying. Nagi tells Soutarou not to think about whether Sakura has a loaded die or not. He tells him to think about what Sakura is after. Nagi is surprised about Soutarou taking Sakura this far. He tells Soutarou that he has got to win if he has made it this far. Soutarou believes that Sakura has rolled six and wants him to keep going until they make a draw again. Soutarou concludes that Sachiko was joking about the loaded die to cause confusion. He’s convinced that he’ll win if he stops now. Soutarou respects how dignified Sakura has acted in all of this. He is certain that he cares more about Aoi than Sakura does. Soutarou stops.

She wanted to report this immediately. Aoi told her to keep quiet about this. He has got recorded evidence of what they did. Aoi planned on threatening the guys so they could become allies that would never betray him. Sakura realized that Aoi accepted any sacrifice that would take him to the top, including himself.

Sakura explains that she selected a special die. She asks Soutarou why Sachiko went through the trouble of making them select a die among six dice. She explains that there were male and female dice. If the side with one is face up and two is facing someone, they can determine whether it’s a male or a female dice by checking the die’s right side. Male dice have four on the right side, while female dice have three. Sakura declares that she has selected the only male die among the six. She says that it’s loaded, and unlikely to roll six, shocking Soutarou.
Sakura tells him that it’s no guarantee she won’t roll six, but she points out that Soutarou rolled six twice in nine rounds last game. Sakura hadn’t rolled a six until roll 9. In a game like this, little differences lead to huge results. She tells Soutarou that she knows he hadn’t picked up on that and repeats that Soutarou is too weak to help Aoi.
