Rumours started to fly around about a nearby game being a club. So it'll be a balanced game. At least it's not a hearts game, Setsuna still gets late-night dreams of her old teammates Hajita and Kamira...

Flashback~

"Oi! Stop spacing out. We have to complete this maze before the clock times out." Destructive arrows with bombs on them would kill them if they don't complete garden maze.

"I understand it. You have to differentiate the odd one out of leads or flower. There are 3 choices, Circle-shape-filled and you have to find the odd one out of the four paths to choose from.

There will be 5 paths

There will be 5 paths. Get every one right through this puzzle before the time runs out.

First path was circle unfilled-leaf, circle coloured flower, circle coloured leaf and non circle uncoloured flower.

"It's uh..." Setsuna couldn't think. What was this pattern?!

"Uncoloured flower—"

"No way I'm trusting you Genza!" Kimara shouted but that was when Hajita runs through the non-circle uncoloured path making it a safe clear.

Four more paths to clear this maze.

Circle uncoloured leaf, non-circle filled leaf, circle coloured leaf, non-circle filled flower.

"I get it... find the odd one out. It's circle filled flower.." Setsuna thought of it and ran through that path followed pursuit of her friends.

Just a few more clears of this hell... and game completion.

Flashback over~

"Hmm... will I survive tonight? I wonder how you three are doing up in space." Setsuna left out a dry laugh.

"Setsuna-san!" Momoka ran towards her with a trailing Asahi right behind.

"I got word from our base that Haruka and Yura are setting up a new game. It'll be a 10 of clubs," Momoka whispered catching Setsuna off guard. Clubs and Spades were her specialty.

"T-The Hatter and a few militants are going to participate." Asahi said lowering her head.

So that scumbag who called me a bitch might participate?

"Are you going to participate?" Asahi asked, although, it seems like a game befitting for her. What's the point? Oh right, citizens still have to play games, but on their own free time.

Setsuna had a long thought. "I'll give it a shot depending on the game-"

"It's being set up by the bridge. There's going to be two teams, but I don't know more than that." Momoka inquired, still not a lot of information to depict what game it will be.
