With "true genius" Kei controlling things from the shadows, Group K succeeds in finding Tenji. Facing the "worst thing that could have happened," Tenji makes a phone call to a certain individual. The third game, Friendly Hide-and-Seek, then reaches its conclusion.
While the two groups struggled to outwit each other, Shiho, Shibe, and Yutori, who had been temporarily released for the third game, returned to school only to be met with cold stares from their classmates.
It was all an act to make Group K think they

كان كل ذلك تمثيل لأجعل المجموعة ك 
.تظن أنها ستفوز، كي يتركوني في الخلف
… gespielt, um alle von der K-Gruppe

Era una actuación para que el grupo K
se confiara y se fueran todos de allí.

J’ai joué la comédie
pour que tout le groupe K s’éloigne.
... era una recita per cercare di far credere al gruppo K
che stavano vincendo, così da lasciarmi da solo.
Foi tudo uma encenação para fazer o Grupo K
pensar que já ganhou, para que fossem embora.
Я разыграл её, чтобы группа K
поверила в свою победу и ушла подальше.
