Arisu and his team have survived several games, but there’s little time to rest. Chota and Shibuki only have one day left on their visas for Borderland, so they must play another game soon and extend their time. Shibuki reveals that the cards corresponding to the games not only reveal the difficulty level but also tell of the type of game they’ll be playing, and that hearts are the worst of all because they prey on people’s emotions. With little time to find another arena, the four enter the only game arena they found and are crushed to discover the game is a Seven of Hearts. Towards the end of the game, Harube tells Arisu to find “The Beach”, a clue he was given in the previous game. Arisu reunites with Usagi, also from the previous game, to figure out what kind of help may lie at The Beach.
