The 5 dice tumblers began to move as Keita was watching, hoping to get a good opening hand. Keita hits his remote button and the tumblers shown 2-2-4-5-6.
"A Large Straight would do," Keita thought, "but the odds are impossible. I'll play it safe for now."
Keita hits two buttons on the tumblers carrying 2s and the tumblers start again. Keita hits the remote again and the remaining tumblers show 2-4-6.
"Another 2!" Keita shouted in his head. "Two more of those and I get a Yahtzee!"
Keita hits a third tumbler button showing a 2 as the last remaining tumblers restarted.
Keita hits his remote and the tumblers show 1-5.
"Keita's score is 3 of a Kind!" Tsukasa said. She writes "3K +5" on her whiteboard. "Mikazuki is up!"
The tumblers that Keita locked are now unlocked as Mikazuki watches them, hoping to beat Keita's 3 of a Kind. Mikazuki hits her remote and the tumblers stop at 2-3-4-4-6.
"Love is worth taking a risk," Mikazuki said. "I'm going for it, Keita-sempai!"
Mikazuki hits the buttons containing a 2, a 3, a 4 and a 6, planning to get a 5 for a Large Straight. After restarting, Mikazuki stops her tumbler on a 6.
"Almost…" Mikazuki thought. "I have to risk it one more time…"
Mikazuki motions to restart her tumbler. After it activated, she stops it on a 5 as she jumps up and down, her skirt blowing in the breeze.
"Mikazuki's score is a Large Straight!" Tsukasa said, writing "LG 2-6" down. "First Frame goes to Mikazuki Kiryuu!"
"Two more frames, then you're all mine, Keita-sempai!" Mikazuki chimed. Keita just moaned with agony.
Tsukasa cues the second frame as the tumblers reactivate again. Keita stops on 1-2-2-4-4.
"Two pair's good," Keita thought, "but I'll try something bigger." Keita hits the buttons locking in the 2s and 4s as the lone tumbler reactivates. Keita stops it on a 4 and he raises his hands in victory.
"Alright! A Full House!" Keita shouted. "I'm stopping now, Tsukasa."
"OK, then, Keita." Tsukasa nodded, and writes "FH 4^2" on her whiteboard. "Mikazuki, you're up."
"I have to beat a Full House somehow," thought Mikazuki as the tumblers began to move. Mikazuki stops them and it strangely lands on 1-2-3-4-5. When Keita saw the results, he felt dizzy while Mikazuki was bouncing around so much that her skirt fell off.
"I'm done, Tsukasa!" Mikazuki called out.
"Mikazuki's score is a Large Straight. That makes it back-to-back," Tsukasa noted as she puts down "LG 1-5" on the whiteboard. "Second Frame goes to Mikazuki Kiryuu!"
Mikazuki stood in front of Keita looking at him closely and then turns around and bends down with her butt in the air. Her panties are in full bloom in front of Keita.
"Soon, I'll have the ride of my life, Keita-sempai," Mikazuki said, blushing. All Keita could do was try not to get pulled in and win this battle.
"I gotta win this, or I'm done for!" Keita thought. The third frame began and Keita stopped on 1-4-6-6-6.
"666 is the sign of the Devil," Keita said, "but right now I'm already in Hell."
Keita saves his 6s and restarts the tumblers. His next stop had 1-3. Keita signaled to restart the machines one more time. On his last stop, he hit 2-6.
"WOW! 4 of a Kind!" Keita shouted. "I'm so awesome!"
Tsukasa puts "4K +2" on her whiteboard and signals for Mikazuki to start. Her tumblers began to activate, and then she stops on 1-4-4-5-5.
"Two Pair is too small," Mikazuki whined. "I need something bigger."
Mikazuki saves the 5s and restarts the machines. Her next stop had 3-3-5.
"I got a Full House, but it's still short!" she grumbled. "I need a Yahtzee to win!"
Mikazuki saces her third 5 and the machines restart again. Her final stop got her a 4-5. The result caused Mikazuki to break down in tears.
"Mikazuki has 4 of Kind!" Tsukasa said as she writes "4K +4" down, "but Keita has four 6s which beat Mikazuki's four 5s. Third Frame goes to Keita Suminoe!"
Mikazuki walks back to her part of the field and pulls her skirt back on in shame and anguish. Keita began his fourth frame stopping on a 1-1-4-4-6.
"Two Pair and a Full House didn't do good for me before," Keita thought. "I'll save the 4s and hope for a bigger hand."
Keita's next stop was a 1-2-4. He immediately hit the button on his third tumbler showing a 4. The machines began to roll again and Keita stopped on 3-6.
"Keita's score is 3 of a Kind!" said Tsukasa, writing down "3K +6".
Mikazuki pulled herself out of the slump and began her turn. Her first stop had 2-4-4-5-6.
"It worked before, it'll work again!" Mikazuki blushed. "Here I come, Keita-sempai!"
Mikazuki hit the buttons like crazy saving all the machines except the tumbler showing the 4. After the machine restarted, her second stop landed on a 2.
"You're killing me, Smalls!" Mikazuki shouted at the tumbler. "Don't screw with me!"
Tsukasa took it as Mikazuki's cue to restart the last tumbler again. Mikazuki stopped as the die was spinning. It was about to land on a 3, but instead it landed on 2. This caused Mikazuki to cry in a rage.
"Mikazuki Kiryuu has One Pair!" Tsukasa noted, writing down "1P +6" on the whiteboard. "Fourth Frame goes to Keita Suminoe! It's a tie at 2 a piece!"
Tsukasa called Keita and Mikazuki over to her. Mikazuki calmed down slightly as she went to Tsukasa.
"This is the deciding frame," Tsukasa told Keita and Mikazuki. "Whoever wins this last frame is the winner."
Keita and Mikazuki nod as they go back to their respective areas. The tumblers began to move faster than ever before. Keita hopes of trying to time his stops right so he can be victorious. His first stop shown a 1-4-5-5-6.
"It's now or never," Keita thought. He hit his buttons on the machines with 5s. The second stop was a 1-1-2.
"Two Pair didn't do it for me then," Keita sighed, "and it won't do it for me now."
Keita let the untouched machines run for his final turn. His final stop was a 2-3-6.
"I'm finshed," Keita sighed, as he sat down beside Tsukasa awaiting Mikazuki's results.
"Keita's score is One Pair!" Tsukasa noted and writes down "1P +6" on the whiteboard. Mikazuki stands up and walks to Tsukasa bowing down.
"Mikazuki, you must defeat a Pair of 5s to win," Tsukasa continued.
Mikazuki focused on eyeballing the tumblers in order to defeat Keita. She stops on 1-2-4-5-6. Mikazuki jumps up and down again as Keita rolls his eyes back.
"Keita-sempai, I've caught you at last!" she chimed. She leaves the tumbler with the 6 untouched as it begins again. Mikazuki hits her remote again, but the tumbler landed on a 1.
"So close, yet so far away…" Mikazuki whined. "I need a 3! Come on, 3!"
The tumbler's speed went into overdrive as this was the final roll for this game. Mikazuki's stop had the last die spinning, leaving her, Keita and Tsukasa in suspense. Finally, the die landed on a 5. Mikazuki lowered her head in sorrow and pain.
"A 5…" Mikazuki sobbed. "I blew it…"
"Mikazuki scores One Pair!" Tsukasa said, as she writes down "1P +4" on the whiteboard. "Both have a Pair of 5s, but Keita has a kicker of 6 which beats Mikazuki's kicker of 4! Game…Set…Match: Keita Suminoe!"
Tsukasa hands Keita a Sonic Stunner and ushers him out of Nishi Guchi Park and back into Ikebukuro. Meanwhile, Mikazuki sits on the bench crying furiously, knowing she has to wait 5 whole minutes before she can chase Keita through Ikebukuro with the other girls. Tsukasa sat down beside her.
"Cheer up, Mikazuki," Tsukasa said to her. "You did great. That was exceptional playing."
"You think so, Tsukasa?" Mikazuki asked.
"I could never win against Sis and Kona-chan," Tsukasa said with a smile. "Still, it's good to have fun."
"What'll I do for the next 5 minutes?" Mikazuki asked. "I hate waiting…"
"Well, for starters, why don't you tell me why you love Keita so much?" Tsukasa suggested. "That'll make the time fly by."
"Thanks, Tsukasa," Mikazuki said, hugging her. "You're really nice."
"You're welcome, Mikazuki-chan," blushed Tsukasa, as she and Mikazuki talked about Keita. Meanwhile, Keita is completely out of the park and back on the streets of Ikebukuro, looking for any sign of Ako, Riko and Miharu nearby.
