01x07 - I'll Take 20 Million Yen Worth of Your Life

[bunniefuu]

Are you counting money again?

I gotta. We need to live

on this for two weeks.

Money certainly is important.

But you know, Yuichi

There is something more important

than money in the world—

your friends.

What do you mean by "friends," ma'am?

Hey! I'm your mother now.

Come on, come on.

M-Mother

General Hospital

How's she doing?

Oh, Sensei.

Yuichi-kun, do you know what the most

important thing in the world is?

Yeah, I know.

It's money, right?

Yuichi!

Are you okay, Yuichi?

T-Tenji?

Friendship

parent and child crooks

Where are we?

Episode 7: I'll Take 20 Million Yen Worth of Your Life

Episode 7: I'll Take 20 Million Yen Worth of Your Life

I don't know.

Hey, guys! Good morning!

Is that Manabu?

To prepare for the start of the third game,

you both have to stay

in this cave for three days.

So have fun for the next 72 hours, you two!

Water?

Only this much for three days?

Yuichi.

What?

Well about what just happened,

I only did it so I could follow you.

I thought that, with you,

I could talk about why I betrayed

everyone and explain everything.

Tomodachi Game

You know, Yuichi,

this is my second Tomodachi Game.

S-Second? What is going on?

It's all Shiho-chan

Sawaragi Shiho's fault.

Sawaragi?

She stole from me She stole

the most precious thing I had in this world.

It began in junior high.

Back then, I had two

very close best friends.

Mikasa Tenji

Do you want to go into business together?

I've saved up a million yen.

We can use this and raise more,

so I can start a business before I'm 18.

That does sound like a great idea, but

Are you sure you wanna share

all this money with us?

Don't be stupid. You're the

only ones I'd do this with.

We had the strongest friendship on campus.

As long as we were together,

nothing could stop us.

Or so we thought.

Tenji-san, good morning!

Shiho-chan?

Oh, that's right, you're in junior high now.

H-Hey, Tenji, who's that girl?

Sawaragi Shiho-san. She's—Well, we've

been friends since we were kids.

Nice to meet you!

Oh

Nice to meet you.

After that day, we began to have trouble

managing our funds, for some reason.

Hey, Tenji.

Are you dating Sawaragi-san?

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Right now, our investments need—

No, this is more important.

W-Well, our parents are trying

to arrange our marriage,

but we don't want that.

We aren't dating.

I'd had my suspicions for a while,

Is that the truth?

Can we trust you?

but it seems like they

both liked Shiho-chan.

Of course you can.

Regular Savings

Date | Transaction | Payment Amount | Deposit Amount | Balance | Number

We were able to start managing

our funds together again,

and we still had that money when

we entered high school together.

Hey, wanna play a game?

We could split the three million

yen we have now three ways

and invest it separately.

Once the total reaches 20 million,

whoever made the most profit

gets to be the CEO of our new company.

Yeah, that could be interesting.

He'll also get the right

to propose to Sawaragi!

Sounds good! I'm all for it!

I honestly had no idea what he was thinking,

but I didn't want to ruin our friendship,

so I played it off as a joke.

That was the day we were kidnapped,

taken to the Tomodachi Game site,

and learned the truth that one of us

was 10 million yen in debt.

Too bad! It's game over in

the third game for Group B.

Tenji-kun is confirmed as the sole loser.

You get everyone's combined debt

of 20 million yen all to yourself.

Since you're still a minor, I'll take

20 million yen worth of your life.

Two days later, I was set free

Alcohol

Cigarettes

under the condition that I would

never tell anyone what happened.

Hey! Why'd you betray us?!

Where the hell is our money?!

I-I used all of it for S-Sawaragi-san.

For Shiho-chan?

Gimme a break, Tenji! If I say any

more, they'll erase me, too!

Tenji-san, wanna walk home together?

You seem down these days, Tenji-san.

Is it because your friends transferred?

Hey, Tenji-san, have you seen them recently?

No.

You sure? Someone said they saw

you talking to one of them.

I d-don't think so

Hey. What did you talk about?

Like, did you talk about me?

I broke my promise to the

management and spilled everything

to the most precious thing

the most important person

to me in the world.

What's up, Tenji?

My father, who raised me on his own.

Fun Vehicle

Picture Book

For me, he was like a living textbook.

I'm really glad you told me, Tenji.

Dad

I'm sure it was hard

keeping that to yourself.

Let me take care of everything from here.

Uncle! Why Why is Dad

We don't know the details yet,

but it's safe to say it was a suicide.

A suicide? That can't be right.

My dad was

Tenji, this might be a big deal.

I'm going to Sawaragi's house to

ask Shiho-chan about it directly.

B-But

Hey, don't worry.

If anything happens, Wataru will be there.

He's my best friend in the world.

I know he'll have my back.

I couldn't trust anyone.

But Sawaragi Shiho was clearly at the center

of everything that was happening.

After that, I decided to investigate

Shiho-chan thoroughly.

But that didn't go well, either.

What do you mean?

I got an email from an unknown sender.

Quit sticking your nose into

Sawaragi Shiho's business.

If you don't, you'll disappear too.

Just like Mikasa Yutaka.

So I decided to gamble.

It was all or nothing.

I'd play the Tomodachi Game

to corner her and make her

show her true colors.

And that's the real reason you applied?

That's right.

But then I screwed up your plan, huh?

No, not really.

Shiho-chan told one really big lie.

A lie?

Yeah. And once you hear about it,

you should believe that Sawaragi Shiho

was the real traitor, too.

The key is the fact that our total combined

debt right now is 10.8 million yen.

Shibe Makoto

Sawaragi Shiho

Kokorogi Yutori

Mikasa Tenji

Katagiri Yuichi

10.8 million?

That doesn't add up.

Yeah. To be exact—

Wait a second! How would you

know the total debt amount?

It's the same as when I played before.

Once you clear the second game,

the management will tell you the total debt.

Manabu-kun! Tell us the total

debt amount again.

Fine, whatever.

The current total debt amount

for Group C is 10.8 million yen.

Tomodachi Game

If we take everyone

at their word, it looks like this.

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -4.1 million yen

Shibe -2.2 million yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -18.8 million yen

That's 8 million off from 10.8 million yen.

Which means someone's

lying about their debt.

Yeah, it does

By the way, I also told a lie

at the end of the first game.

If the 10 yen coin goes to "yes," you clear the game.

If the 10 yen coin goes to "no," only the reader's debt will be halved.

My question card actually said

I could cut my debt in half.

So at the end of the first game,

I was at minus 1.6 million yen,

and my real debt right now

is 2.1 million yen.

Tenji -2.1 million yen

Then it's likely Shibe got the same thing.

Shibe Makoto

Debt: 3.6 million yen

(self-reported)

Shibe's current debt amount

is probably 200,000 yen.

Shibe -200,000 yen

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -4.1 million yen

Shibe -2.2 million yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -18.8 million yen

But even if we correct

both of your amounts

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -4.1 million yen

Shibe -2.2 million yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -18.8 million yen

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -2.1 million yen

Shibe -200,000 yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -14.8 million yen

We're still off by 4 million.

Shibe

Yutori

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -14.8 million yen

Right. Sawaragi's 6.2 million

debt is too high.

If we assume she didn't get a penalty,

she'd have 2.2 million yen in debt.

Sawaragi Shiho

Debt: 3.6 million yen

(self-reported)

Shiho -2.2 million yen

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -2.1 million yen

Shibe -200,000 yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -14.8 million yen

You're right.

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -2.1 million yen

Shibe -200,000 yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -6.2 million yen

Total -14.8 million yen

Yuichi -4.1 million yen

Tenji -2.1 million yen

Shibe -200,000 yen

Yutori -2.2 million yen

Shiho -2.2 million yen

Total -10.8 million yen

That way, everything adds up.

I feel bad, but I eavesdropped on you two.

Yuichi, what if everything

she said was a lie?

What would you think of

Sawaragi Shiho then?

That she's quite the scam artist.

Yeah. Can you imagine how dark

she really is, deep inside?

If you're telling the truth, that is.

Actually, Sawaragi Shiho

has had plastic surgery.

The only thing any of us can be

sure about is our own debt.

Bad-Mouth

Actually, Sawaragi Shiho

has had plastic surgery.

No matter how convincing it sounds,

I can't trust anything one hundred percent.

You must have realized by now.

We thought we knew each other,

but we're basically strangers.

You didn't know what kind of person I was,

like that I was a k*ller, right?

But you still followed me. Why?

That's

because you said you were going to

destroy the Tomodachi Game.

I have only one goal: to avenge

my father's death.

And the key to that is the Sawaragi family

and this Tomodachi Game.

Yuichi, I want you to fight with me.

Do you really mean that?

I think you're probably

a really dangerous person.

I saw the face of true evil in you.

But you do have strength, right?

The strength to truly destroy

the management?

We can't fight fair.

We won't be able to beat them

unless we take some risks!

No way. Like I just said,

talk like that is meaningless now.

You're right.

Mikasa Tenji

My debt right now is 2.1 million.

Yuichi, trust me!

Idiot! Stop it!

Fine, I won't ask you

to join my fight anymore.

But at least let me follow you on yours.

I swear I won't get in your way!

I don't care if you use me like a tool!

So Yuichi, I beg you

You're You're my last and only hope!

We have three days.

Let me think it over in that time.

Now get up and stop begging. Please.

About 60 hours later

Hey, Tenji. What do "friends" mean to you?

I have no idea.

I stopped thinking about it

after my best friends betrayed me.

So regardless of Sawaragi,

Kokorogi and Shibe are just people

you met while planning your revenge.

Like strangers?

I guess so.

I don't believe you.

If they were nothing but strangers,

why did you pick them

for the Tomodachi Game?

You must have thought they

had some feelings for you.

Those two had no idea they were being used

and thought I was their friend.

They're just real idiots.

Tenji, promise me one thing.

Hmm?

When we get back, apologize to them.

Even if I did, there's no way

they'd forgive me.

It doesn't matter. Apologize anyway.

If there's at least some part

of you that feels guilt, do it.

Okay.

All right. If you're going to keep

that promise, I'll make one, too.

I'm going to clear this third game,

no matter what it takes.

72 hours later

Three days are up! Come on outside.

Let's go, Tenji. We have to

make it back to everyone.

Yeah.

Tomodachi Game

Ah, you've both come out.

Manabu-kun is that you?

Fool! Who are you calling Manabu-kun?!

I'm the one and only Sergeant Manabu!

The third game is starting.

Yes. It looks like they're up

against your group.

That's right!

And how's your Group C?

Huh? There are only two left?

The game's over before it even started.

I wonder about that.

Huh? In the third game, the bigger team

always has the advantage.

Wanna bet?

I'm in.

All right, let's get started, you pigs!

The third game

Friendly Hide-and-Seek!

Just two? That's brutal.

And both dudes, too. What a waste.

It's rude to call them a waste, Senpai.

Your battle power is a mere five,

huh? Piece of trash!

Huh?! You wanna piece of dis?

Who the hell are they?

Let me say, first of all,

that this game is held in

Competitive Battle Format

competitive battle format!

The winners will clear the third game.

For the losers, it's game over.

Wait a minute!

Isn't the Tomodachi Game supposed

to test friendships within the group?

Mm-hmm.

It will test your true friendship

precisely because you have opponents.

For instance, what if

your teammate is a jerk

who betrayed everyone by bad-mouthing them

But the opposing team has five friends

who all cooperated with each other?

Then the grass looks

greener on the other side.

Wait, it actually is greener!

You'll start comparing yourselves

to them, you'll get jealous,

and then, how do you think it'll all end?

It It'll

Trusting your friends will start

to look like a dumb idea.

Yuichi?

Correct! This game will make you

battle against that kind of feeling.

No matter how hard it is,

you have to trust your friends,

and then you wait, and wait,

and wait, and wait, and wait,

wait and wait and wait and wait

and wait, and keep waiting

That's the game!

That's Friendly Hide-and-Seek!

Friendly Hide-and-Seek

From here on, you will all play

hide-and-seek in this huge forest.

Each team will choose one hider

who will hide somewhere in the forest.

Hider

Seeker

The remaining team members

will be the seekers.

I see. That's why you said the

third game can't be cleared alone.

Ugh

Seeker

Hider

That's right.

And the team that finds

the other's hider first wins.

Hider

I found Manabu-kun!

Seeker

Wait a minute.

With two people, we have only

one seeker. That's totally

Right! In this game, the smaller team

is at a huge disadvantage.

But that's just the way it goes.

This is the Tomodachi Game.

Your team had a huge argument.

Obviously, a team that gets along

will have an advantage.

I'll explain again later,

but here are the rules.

Third Game Rules

Can't Do

Be Violent

Move the Hider

Can Do

Contact

Eat

Surrender (Give Up)

Change Sides (Switch)

Take a close look.

Change Sides (Switch)

What's this "change sides" one?

If it looks like your team is about to lose,

the seekers can switch sides

to the enemy team.

But even if the team you switch to wins,

you won't go on to the fourth game.

Is there any point to switching, then?

Of course there is.

If you're on the winning team

when the game ends,

Winning

-1 million yen

the personal debt that you would

have gained from failing to clear

can all be passed to the losing team.

Losing

-250,000 yen -250,000 yen -250,000 yen -250,000 yen

0 yen

So even if they fail to clear,

the person who switched

can end the game with no debt.

Money

Friends

Do you choose friends or money?

That's what the Tomodachi Game

is really about.

In particular, when

there's only two on a team,

if one person switches,

the game immediately ends.

So be careful!

Don't worry. I have no

intention of switching.

I really hope not. That would suck.

But even on a five-person team

It's possible for four to switch,

leaving all of their debt on the one hider.

So that is an option.

What happens if you switch but still lose?

In that case, the traitor will

receive an amount of debt

equal to the average debt

of the losing team.

They then return to their original team,

and continue to the fourth game.

If someone betrays their team but

then returns with even more debt

That'd be unforgivable, huh?

Ah!

And just so you know, trading

name tags is prohibited this time.

All right! Now all we have to do

is choose the hiders.

But first, I have some exclusive

information for the two in Group C!

There's a player from another group

who made it to the third game alone.

Do you want to add them to your team?

Only if you say it's okay, of course.

W-Why would we ever accept—

Are they a girl?

Huh? Yeah, she's a cute girl.

In that case, it's okay.

Huh? What? Really? It's okay if it's a girl?

Yuichi! It's too dangerous

to let an outsider in!

You're such a perv, Yuichi-kun!

If she betrays us, we're finished!

I know.

But it would be almost impossible

for the two of us to win.

You're sure? Are you sure, then?

You guys are such a pain. I'll get her.

Please come over!

All right, please introduce yourself!

I'm Mizuse Maria.

Wow!

That's the guy who said

he'd destroy the operation?

When the higher-ups were alerted,

they decided to send Maria

in to keep an eye on him.

I was wondering what he'd be like,

but if he let her in that easily,

he can't be that deep.

Besides trusting your friends,

there is one other way

to clear the Tomodachi Game.

Do you know what that is?

It's

To lead your group

with overwhelming charisma!

And

My Group K has that charisma.

In fact, it has a genius.

I'm sure you'll figure out which one

the genius is eventually.

I wonder about that.

I doubt very much that even

a genius could k*ll a monster.

Listen up.

I'm gonna hide, and you don't

have a snowball's chance in hell,

because I'll never give up.

Even if it kills me.

Yuichi.

I'll be the hider.

Are you sure?

It's got to be me.

I can't make you sit still.

And I hate to say it, but we can't

give her the option to give up.

You're right. Sorry, man.

Tomodachi Game

It seems both teams

have chosen their hider.

I'll give you two hours

to find your hiding spots.

First, proceed in opposite

directions, west or east.

All right. Third game, start!

Friendly Hide-and-Seek
