Ep 11. An Invitation from Eastal

Shiroe, Akatsuki, and Naotsugu venture towards the city of Eastal after receiving a formal invitation from the Henrietta, the princess of the Eastal League of Free Cities. The trio is unsure what to expect but they know that the conference will have major implications on their future decisions and actions in this strange new world.

Upon arrival, they are greeted with the grandeur of Eastal's architecture and bustling streets. The city is a melting pot of cultures, races, and ideals, and the meeting is held in a cathedral filled with representatives from various factions.

As Shiroe, Akatsuki, and Naotsugu take their seats, they soon discover that this conference is not merely a diplomatic meeting but also a political game. The leaders of the different factions are vying for power and influence, each trying to convince Henrietta that their vision for the future of this world is the right one.

The three protagonists find themselves caught in the middle of this game, slowly realizing that their presence here is not just to observe but also to make decisions that will affect not only their own guild, but the entire world.

In the midst of all this political maneuvering, Shiroe glimpses a possible solution to the biggest problem facing their world. He quietly observes the factions bickering over resources and territories, and realizes that if they can bring everyone together in a united effort to find a way out of this world, they may have a chance at returning to their normal lives.

Meanwhile, Akatsuki finds herself struggling to fit into the social norms of this world. As a ninja, she is used to working alone and completing missions without anyone noticing her. However, in this city, everyone is required to follow protocol, and her skills as a ninja are almost useless. She must adapt quickly or risk sticking out like a sore thumb.

Naotsugu, on the other hand, uses this opportunity to explore the city and its many attractions, but quickly realizes that he is an outsider in this world. The differences in cultural norms are apparent, and he is forced to confront his own biases and preconceptions.

As the conference progresses, tension rises as more factions join in the discussion and disagreements become more pronounced. Henrietta struggles to keep the peace and seeks advice from Shiroe, who offers a solution that may be the key to de-escalating the situation.

The episode ends with the group returning to Akihabara, having made important decisions about their goals and plans for the future. They know that the road ahead will not be easy, but they are more determined than ever to find a way home.
