Tamiya: Don't be such a wimp !
Bell-chan: Urd, you didn't do anything to the game, right ?
Urd: Of course not.
Urd: I don't know anything about it.
( But in fact, Urd did do something to the game, )
( She's inserted a magic stone that senses the momentum and position of the wheel. )

Page 41

( and with the stone, Urd can calculate the momentum and poistion, )
( and control the wheel in advance. )
Urd(think): That magic stone is called Laplacian Demon's Stone.
Ootaki: Alright, my turn !

Bell-chan(think): of course, I'm not doing too badly myself..
Megumi: How come I always get " Skip one turn " ?
Tamiya: You are better than me.. I always back to the start..
Bellchan: Is there anything in the spinner ?
Stone Demon: What do you want ? I am very busy !
Bell-chan(think): Just as I thought.. the Laplacian Demon !
Bell-chan: I need to ask you for a favor, sir.
Stone Demon: Who cares !
Stone Demon: What.. What are you doing ?

Page 46

Bell-chan: Pretty please ?
Stone Demon: Okay.. I'll do it for you, but just don't tell your sister.
( If you are here, you can go straight to the Goal ! )
