Why would I give advice to the opposite team, you ask?
Well...
It's because I just want all of us to have fun together this Happy Beans Day.

I see. Is that the reason, then.

You really are a great guy, Rook!

S-Seeing how easily the two of you believe him makes me worry...!!
Both of you are on the same team as my brother.
So, considering Rook Hunt is our opponent, I'd like to find out if we can really trust him...
I know! If I use the medical tools I've been equipped with, I can verify if he's telling the truth!
By measuring the changes in someone's heart rate, perspiration level, or pulse, you can determine whether or not they're lying.

 Rook
Rook

Well, well. That's some marvelous technology indeed.

That's because lies don't work on machines. Will you let me test you, Rook Hunt-san?
|
 Rook
Rook

Oui. Of course, Monsieur Doll. Do whatever you wish.

In that case, I'll put my hand on the back of your neck like so...
Your heart rate, perspiration level, and pulse... Your vital signs are normal. When it comes to your breathing and the dilation of your pupils... there's no change at all.
...Which means I can confirm that Rook Hunt-san isn't lying!

If Ortho said it, it must be true.

I'm sorry I doubted you, Rook Hunt-san.

Non non! It's enough if it means you understand how I truly feel now.
Although this may be a tournament, it's also a form of recreation. Since we're all participating, we might as well have some fun.

 Kalim

Yeah, that's right! I can't wait to go up against ya, Rook!

I've been looking forward to seeing Lilia-senpai and Lord Malleus face off.

 Kalim
Kalim

Hmm. But ya know, I don't think I wanna face off against Jamil~
Sure who wins or loses is important, but I guess I'd rather do something that brings everyone a little closer together, ya know?

My brother had fun designing a big beans shooter! He's especially excited about its fantastic firing range.

Très bien! I'm glad to see how enthusiastic you all are. It seems like it's going to be a wonderful Happy Beans Day!

- On the day of Happy Beans Day -

Well then. Before we go looking for any allies... I guess we should survey the situation first.
The one we've really got to watch out for on the farmer team is... Malleus, of course.
On top of that, with him being royalty there's also a good chance that one of his guards, Silver, is also with him.
What do you think we should do, Rook?
|
 Rook
Rook

I have no doubt that Malleus-kun and Lilia-kun are busy battling it out right about now.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Eh, are you sure? Are you basing that on anything substantial?
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Oui. Of course, Rose Chevalier.
If we can catch Silver-kun during one of his usual naps, we should have no trouble taking him out.
Kalim-kun is more interested in having fun than winning, so there's no need for us to go after him.
Even if we don't, it's only a matter of time before he'll be eliminated.
Idia-kun seems to have invented some new kind of beans shooter.
Because it's the long-range type, we'll have to watch out for him shooting at us from a distance.
As truly magnificent as Leona-kun is, he's not the type to actively participate in Happy Beans Day. Last year was an exception.
I doubt he's moving with the main group. Unless he begins stirring up trouble, it would be better not to approach him.
The ones we really have to watch out for are Roi des Roses, Riddle-kun... and Vil, Roi du Poison.
Both of them are leaders. They're used to leading others, and as far as I can see, shouldn't have any problems getting along with one another.
We should go after them before they have a chance to team up.

...I sure am surprised. I could barely get a word in during all of that. But how'd you manage to obtain all this info?
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Hehe... They told me. All about themselves, the students in their dorm, and their other club mates.
Even though I warned them about just how valuable information can be.
The real enemy is never the one that terrifies you with their intimidating appearance. One should be more cautious of a smiling neighbor.
|
 Trey
Trey

...So what you mean to say that you were able to get all of that out of them by being a good liar?
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Oh là là! Do you think I'd ever do something like that?
I never uttered a single lie. I only spoke the truth- Ortho even verified it.

Hehehe... Let's all have a fun Happy Beans Day together!
