Ep 9. E 9

Sora and Shiro are on a roll, and their latest victory has earned them another chance to challenge the High Priest in a game that will decide the future of Elkia. However, their celebrations are cut short when they learn that a certain person they left behind in another world has made an appearance in their world. This person is none other than Jibril, the powerful Flügel who helped them defeat the Eastern Federation.

Jibril has come to Elkia with a request for Sora and Shiro. She wants them to help her win a game against the leader of the Flügel, the formidable Izuna. Jibril has tried to win against Izuna multiple times but has never succeeded, and this time she is determined to emerge victorious. If Sora and Shiro agree to help Jibril, she promises to return the favor by providing them with valuable information.

Sora and Shiro accept Jibril's proposal and start preparing for the game. They learn that Izuna is a master of a game called "Materialization Shiritori," where players must create an object starting with the last syllable of the previously created object's name. Jibril reveals that Izuna is unbeatable at this game and has accumulated a winning streak of almost 200 games.

Sora and Shiro realize that they need to come up with a strategy that can break Izuna's unbeatable record. They decide to use their knowledge of Elkia's history to create a game that encompasses all of Elkia's past and present. The game involves multiple rounds, and each round is a different game where players can use their knowledge of Elkia's history, culture and technology to win. They enlist the help of Stephanie Dola, the granddaughter of Elkia's former king who has vast knowledge of Elkia's history.

In the first round, Sora and Shiro play a game of chess against Jibril and Izuna. Sora and Shiro win by using a modified version of chess where each player can control 10 pawns instead of the usual two. In the second round, Sora and Shiro compete in a game called "Words Within Words," where players have to use existing words to create new words that are worth more points. They win again by creating words that reflect Elkia's history.

The final round is the most challenging, and it involves creating a new game from scratch. Sora and Shiro collaborate with Stephanie to create a game where players must collect resources and build structures to protect their own base while attacking another player's base. The game uses Elkia's resources, technology, and culture to create a unique experience.

The game is intense, and both teams are evenly matched. However, Sora and Shiro manage to emerge victorious by creating a surprise attack that takes Izuna off guard. Izuna concedes defeat, and Jibril is overjoyed. She thanks Sora and Shiro for their help and offers them the information she promised.

In the end, Sora and Shiro's victory secures Elkia's future. Stephanie is grateful to Sora and Shiro for their help, and Jibril promises to be a valuable ally. The episode ends with Sora and Shiro discussing their next move and looking forward to their future adventures.
