﻿Ah! Oh, no!
﻿Saki...
﻿No! I'm scared!
﻿Look at that, Saki.
﻿How did you find my skiing technique?
﻿We get it, we get it.
﻿We know you're perfect at everything.
﻿By the way, Saki, how are you faring?
﻿I'm from the south.
﻿This is my first time skiing.
﻿Don't worry. It's just ﻿sliding down. Nothing to it.
﻿Noooo!
﻿Oh, no...watch out!
Are you okay?
﻿Ah, that scared me.
﻿I'm fine. I'm not hurt.
﻿How much longer will ﻿you be holding Saki's hand?
﻿Eh? S-Sorry.
﻿I should be the one apologizing.
﻿Sorry I almost crashed into you.
﻿No worries!
﻿SUKEBAN DEKA II ﻿Legend of the Iron Masked Girl
﻿Oh! So you're also here ﻿for the chess tournament.
﻿I'm Yukino, from Ryozan High, ﻿the representative from the Tokyo Block.
﻿I'm Hiroshi from the Kinki Block.
﻿Nice to meet you.
﻿And...who are you ladies?
﻿We're Yukino-san's cheerleaders.
﻿Though that's really just in name only. ﻿We have no idea how chess works.
﻿We just came here to have fun in the snow.
﻿Hiroshi-san!
﻿That's my sister.
﻿Oh, so they're your new friends.
﻿And lovely ones at that.
﻿So, are you all staying here ﻿at the Shirakaba Kogen Hotel?
﻿Yes.
﻿I sure am glad.
﻿You see, last year, ﻿I became paralyzed in a car accident.
﻿I'm the only person that was ﻿free to come here with Hiroshi...
﻿And I was worried that ﻿I'd bring down his mood.
﻿Oh, don't say that, Sis.
﻿I promised I'd be your legs ﻿for you. It's no trouble.
﻿But I do think when one ﻿is in an exciting place like this, ﻿it's important to have a great time. Right?
﻿A Battle of Silvery White! ﻿Panic at the Ski Slopes
﻿A national high school chess tournament?
﻿What's that about?
﻿Yajima Yukino was ﻿elected to represent our area.
﻿The final meet will ﻿be held at Shirakaba Kogen.
﻿We received intelligence that the Seiro Clan ﻿would probably try to do something there.
﻿So, The Leader of Shadows might ﻿also make an appearance?
﻿Of that I can't be certain.
﻿But...uncovering conspiracy, and stopping ﻿any little skirmishes will be your assignment.
﻿Do you accept?
Just what is this, Asamiya-kun?
﻿Sorry, sir.
Shirakaba Kogen Hotel
24th Annual National High School Chess Meet Final Tournament
Very festive place! ﻿Everyone looks like superstars.
﻿That's the favorite for first place. ﻿He's Nishikawa, from the Kansai Block.
﻿May I have this dance, Miss?
﻿Yes, I'd love to!
﻿He's also a favorite to ﻿win. He's from Hokkaido.
﻿Tomita Junichi.
﻿Would you like to dance?
Just be patient, okay?
﻿Nothing looks at all unusual here.
﻿What is the Seiro Clan ﻿planning to do? I can't see it.
﻿You look really nice tonight.
﻿Wanna dance, miss?
﻿I only have experience in ﻿the martial arts, not dancing...
It'll be fine.
﻿At Shirakaba Kogen Hotel, we have the ﻿24th Annual National Chess Tournament.
24th Annual National High School Chess Meet Final Tournament
﻿We are about to begin the final ﻿round of this prestigious tournament.
﻿We drew names randomly to ﻿determine the lineups for the first round.
﻿Representatives should meet up with ﻿their partners and get ready for round 1.
Yajima Yukino
Sano Hiroshi
﻿Eh? I have to face off ﻿against Yukino-san first thing?
﻿Looks like fate to me!
﻿Good luck, both of you.
﻿Kick his butt, Yukino.
﻿Checkmate.
Wow!
﻿That's one of the favorites. ﻿He won his match in just thirty minutes.
﻿Checkmate.
﻿What's a mirror doing there?
﻿Well, Leader...the academic ﻿level is high just as we'd anticipated.
﻿The victor of this tournament...
﻿...will make an excellent addition ﻿to the Seiro Clan, just as you suggested.
﻿Thank you, sir.
﻿By the way, Leader...there is ﻿just one thing that concerns me.
﻿Asamiya Saki...
﻿What should we do about her?
﻿Teach her a lesson.
﻿Checkmate.
﻿Saki!
Where did that weasel run off to?
﻿It's wet...
What are you two doing?
﻿I could ask you the same thing.
Me? This is my room.
﻿I see, sorry about that. Let's go.
﻿Who the hell are you?!
﻿Don't worry.
﻿He is on our side.
﻿Oh, I see.
﻿Then you should have told us sooner!
﻿Saki is always like that. She loves to ﻿play the tragic heroine all by herself.
﻿That's unfair! I just didn't want to ﻿worry you, that's why I kept quiet
﻿Never mind.
﻿What's more important now is figuring ﻿out what's the Seiro Clan goal here.
﻿Did you find any clues?
Only that the man who attacked me ﻿might have disappeared into Hiroshi's room.
﻿What the, Hiroshi's room?
﻿You don't say!
﻿So you're saying Hiroshi might be a suspect?
﻿You want me to kill Saki?! I can't!
﻿Orders from Leader. Failure to comply will not be tolerated.
﻿But, sis!
﻿Hiroshi, have you forgotten?
﻿Just how tough it was ﻿for us to live without parents?
﻿When I was injured last year, everyone else ﻿was uncomfortable and kept their distance.
﻿Leader was the only one ﻿who reached out to me.
﻿So, we must repay him...
No way!
﻿The only person I'll follow is you.
﻿He's just using you. ﻿Because he wants you, Sis!
﻿How can you say that, Hiroshi?
﻿If you're successful, ﻿you will be able to join the Seiro Clan.
I'm not interested in that!
﻿I get it, Sis...
﻿But I just can't betray Saki-san!
﻿Hiroshi...
﻿Her or me. Which of us ﻿is more important to you?
﻿Saki-san!
﻿Hiroshi-san, congratulations.
﻿I hear you made it to the final round.
﻿Thanks.
﻿Ah, Yukino-san and Kyoko-san just said that they were going...
To hang out at the Gosensui Forest ﻿and wondered if you'll come.
﻿The "Gosensui Forest?"
﻿How far away are they?
﻿I thought they would be about here...
﻿You've fallen for our trap, Saki!
﻿Did you find her?
﻿I couldn't.
﻿I'll climb up there to look. ﻿You stay down here.
﻿Understood.
﻿Hiroshi-san, you deceived me, didn't you?
﻿Just forget about it, Hiroshi-san.
﻿You're too nice.
﻿But know this, Hiroshi-san. You may be able ﻿to fool others, but you can never fool yourself.
﻿Saki-san...
Don't!
﻿Don't do it!
﻿Hiroshi-san!
﻿Those who interfere will die!
﻿Saki-san!
﻿Saki-san! Saki-san!
﻿Saki-san...
﻿Hiroshi! Hurry back to the hotel!
﻿The final round is waiting for you!
﻿Saki-san! Saki-san!
﻿Saki!
﻿Saki-san?
﻿Sis...
﻿Saki-san...
﻿Saki!
﻿Saki! Wake up, Saki!
﻿Saki! Saki!
﻿You've won, Hiroshi.
﻿Move your queen there.
﻿Yes! There's your checkmate.
﻿What's wrong, Hiroshi?
﻿Come! Move it!
﻿Move it!
﻿Sis...
﻿Hiroshi!
﻿Hiroshi-san, you may be able to fool ﻿others, but you can never fool yourself.
﻿Checkmate.
﻿All right! Our winner!
﻿Thank you.
﻿Hiroshi!
﻿Come back here, Hiroshi!
﻿Hiroshi!
﻿Why did you lose on purpose, Hiroshi?
﻿Answer me, Hiroshi!
﻿You were so stupid.
﻿Do you really think that ﻿Leader will let this one slide?
﻿Sis...you still don't get it?!
﻿I want, I wanted you to go ﻿back to the way you used to be!
﻿So I...lost..
﻿Hiroshi...
﻿Sis...
﻿Sis!
﻿This way!
﻿Hey, Sis!
﻿Traitors of Leader get what's coming to them.
﻿Hiroshi, you too will die.
﻿Damn it!
Get em!
Damn!
﻿Ryozan High School, ﻿Class 2-B. Asamiya Saki.
﻿Also known as Sukeban Deka!
﻿Scum like you who deceive and ﻿betray their own kind will pay!
Silence!
﻿Sis...
Stay with me!
﻿I'm glad you lost.
﻿Sis!
﻿Saki-san...
﻿Hiroshi...
﻿Sis!
Hold on, Sis!
﻿Sis!
﻿The Leader of Shadows...
You'll pay. I'll definitely make you pay for this!
