Holy Mahjong War 聖雀戦争 Act.3 聖雀戦争 Act.3 [-] That concludes today's performance. I look forward to seeing you all again next time.
[-] An animal-taming performance, magic show, and dance performance... All of them are so amazing.
[-] This is the first time I've watched performances like these. They really are great.
[-] If you like them, Miyu, let's find a chance to watch these performances again after we go back.
[-] As brilliant as they are, let's not forget why we're here.
[-] On this day, the three of them have come to the theater to watch the performances of Soul, a famous troupe here in One Han City. As Kuro said, they came here for a purpose other than to relax.
[-] According to information received from a Jyanshi that Ayane Kisaragi is familiar with, one of Soul's members is a contestant in the Holy Mahjong War. After the other audience members leave, Illya and the others get on the stage and stop the dancers who are about to go backstage.
[-] Oh, is there something you want from us?
[-] Hi, we want to have a Holy Mahjong War game.
[-] Hehe, I see. Ryan, some customers have come to challenge us to a game.
[-] There are two contestants here? That saves us a lot of effort.
[-] In response to Sara's call, a boy dressed up as a magician walks over from the backstage. After waving to Illya and the others, he snaps his fingers lightly, causing the colored balls above his head to explode and scatter smoke and ribbons everywhere.
[-] After everyone can see clearly again, there is a mahjong table in the center of the stage.
[-] Is this also magic?
[-] Compared with having a mahjong table appear from the ground, this is much more normal.
[-] This is just a little trick. I'm glad that you three onee-sama like it.
[-] Jyanshi, I'm Dancer Sara. I welcome you.
[-] I'm Caster Ryan. Let's have a good game, onee-sama.
[-] Miyu, we'll play this time.
[-] Okay. Let's have a good game, you two.
[-] The second battle of the Holy Mahjong War starts now.
[-] Unlike the game played against A-37, the atmosphere of this game is very harmonious as both Sara and Ryan are very nice people.
[-] Is it true that it hasn't been long since you learned how to play mahjong? You are very skillful.
[-] We're doing okay, hehe...
[-] This is especially true in the case of Ryan, who is not only kind but has a sweet tongue, and has made Illya feel a little euphoric after calling her onee-sama almost every time he speaks. And when one lowers their guard for even a moment in a game...
[-] I'll take your tile, Illya-onee-sama. Ron.
[-] O-Oh no! I shouldn't have played a fresh tile in this turn...
[-] Why did you deal into his hand? You shouldn't be so happy when someone calls you onee-sama that you deliberately give up!
[-] Don't say that, Miss Kuro. I think Illya-onee-sama took that risk because she has a great hand. A reasonable attack isn't a mistake.
[-] Yes, it is quite good...
[-] Illya awkwardly covers her hand that is actually two tiles away from Tenpai and secretly warns herself to not make any more mistakes. In contrast, Miyu has been focused on the game since the beginning, performing steadily, but has also encountered some difficulties.
[-] ...Thank you, Ron.
[-] You've been observing us since the very beginning.
[-] I wouldn't be a qualified performer if I couldn't observe the audience's reaction and make timely adjustments.
[-] After dealing in twice, Miyu is convinced that Sara is a strong opponent who is good at observing her opponent's movements. She doesn't simply observe hand movements, but also facial expressions, opponents' eyes... She observes anything that will reveal one's intentions to her.
[-] But Sara's strength also reminds Miyu of something. Until now, based on what she knew about the game, mahjong is a game in which the players fight separately. However, reading other people's thoughts allows one to defend against opponents and cooperate with others.
[-] Since it is Illya's turn to be the dealer, Miyu decides to take advantage of her position as the player who moves before her to launch a counterattack...
[-] This tile... Chii!
[-] (Judging from Illya's discarded tiles, she should still be in the ""one tile away from Tenpai"" phase. I can feed her another tile.)
[-] I'll also call Chii on this tile!
[-] After several turns, Illya finally wins her first game as the dealer in a South round. After that, Miyu does the same thing again, relying on her tacit cooperation to feed tiles to Illya to slowly raise her score from a dangerously low level. At the same time, she limits Sara and Ryan's hand-building progress with speed.
[-] (Sara is able to sense danger keenly like Kuro, but all I need is to force them to defend with quick attacks.)
[-] We seem to be in danger, Sara-onee-sama.
[-] Haha, it does look a little tricky. We can only hope that luck is on our side.
[-] By nature, mahjong is a game of probability, so I'll calculate the best moves to help Illya win games.
[-] A game of probability... While that's true, you must not ignore the possibilities created by intuition.
[-] ...It looks like I chose right earlier. Riichi.
[-] Is this the end...? But it's already the fourth South round. With this point difference, we just need to concentrate on defending and waiting for the game to become a draw, Illya.
[-] Yes, we've almost won. We can't make a mistake now.
[-] The reason Miyu reminds Illya to play the Last Discard Safe Tile tactic is because she guesses that there's a high chance Sara is currently in Tenpai for Seven Pairs based on her discarded tiles, and they can only single-wait for the White Dora to reverse the situation.
[-] (I already have a concealed White Triplet in my hand, and I can see 2 Red Fives, so she shouldn't be able to reverse the situation.)
[-] The game continues steadily, but Sara manages to successfully Tsumo in her last tile draw.
[-] She drew the last Green? She really is lucky to be able to draw it. But... what's that?!
[-] It looks like my intuition is quite accurate today. It's true that anything can happen when playing mahjong.
[-] The indicator of the Ura Dora is the last White. Sara's bold choice made it possible for her to turn the situation around.
[-] I'm sorry, Miyu. If I didn't lose too many points in the beginning...
[-] It's my mistake. If I played the Green in my hand earlier and forfeited... No, Miss Sara, you wouldn't have chosen to Ron even if I played that. You would have continued to believe in the possibility of getting the tile you need at the end, right?
[-] Haha, I don't really know. Please don't look so depressed. I had a lot of fun today, so I'll give you this Dancer card.
[-] You can take my card too. You won't look cute if you look sad like that, so smile.
[-] You're giving us the cards just like that? Aren't you also participating in this Holy Mahjong War because you have wishes or desires you want fulfilled?
[-] Soul is going through some difficulties right now, which is why Ciri suggested that we try to win this competition and ask the omnipotent wish-granting device to help us.
[-] However, Soul's troubles have been haunting us for a while already, so we don't need to deal with them urgently. Instead, you seem to have something more urgent to do, so give it your all.
[-] Let's play mahjong again after you finish what you need to do.
[-] I... thank you so much!
[-] I learned a lot from this game. Thank you. Mahjong... really is a game that is filled with possibilities.
[-] Haha, I can finally see a smile on your face. Is it because that other child is happy now?
[-] ...Yes. Illya is really important to me, and I'll do my best to make her smile.
[-] Hehe, it's really helpful to meet kind-hearted people. I'll give you a good review on the review website. There are only two more cards left now. I thought it would take a while, but we're making surprisingly good progress.
[-] Let me correct you. There's only one card left.
[-] Oh, another cute customer has arrived.
[-] Gil, are you saying that you've gotten another card?
[-] I met a talkative fortune teller when I was wandering around just now and bought the Diviner card from her directly. We just need to get the last Sister card now.
[-] You bought it with money... Isn't this war a bit of a joke? Whatever... It's fine as long as things are going smoothly. Do you have any clues about where the last card is?
[-] I wonder if the Sister card is held by someone's sister? This one is just as hard to guess as Brother...
[-] ...That might not be true. Maybe we've already met this person before.
[-] So you're thinking of the same thing as me? A Sister doesn't just have to be a female sibling. This word can be used to refer to a specific profession...
