After a series of casual exges, including Sora's 'underwear exge game' joke, the versation finally moved to the main topic.

  Haruya sat o Izuna, while Ino stood by Izuna's side.

  inally, Haruya had nht to sit down, but as the versatioed up, he casually took a seat without anyone objeg...

  Ino: " we stop wasting time? If you're here to joke around, please leave now. We don't want to waste time with a bunch of hairless monkeys."

  Sora: "Holy old geezer, you're so harsh... Look, there's someotio Izuna! Haruya, how did you even end up here?"

  Faced with Sora's question, Shiro's puzzled gaze, and the stares from Jibril and Steph behind them, Haruya calmly took a sip of tea before replying:

  "How should I put it? I just want to be on the advantageous side."

  "I see, that's uandable. But I hope you won't regret your choice ter." Said Sora.

  "Don't worry, I won't regret it."

  Haruya spoke with firm determination, causing the siblings to exge gnces and whisper a few words to each other.

  Behind them, Steph looked at Haruya with fusion. As the former princess of Elkia, she must find Haruya's as as an Immanity quite strange.

  No, perhaps she already knows that his identity is simir to that of Sora and Shiro...

  "To think there really is someone else besides my masters. This Immanity staying with these lowly creatures that have no self-esteem isn't a good idea."

  Jibril spoke to Haruya while mog Ino and the others, whily fueled Ino's dissatisfa.

  Ino: "If you have nothing else to say, then leave..."

  Sora finally got serious, "Wait, wait, let's not talk about underwear for noer the old man's request, let's get to the main topic. It's quite simple... " He cleared his throat, then tinued, "Uhe name of the representatives of the Immanity Kingdom of Elkia, ranked 16th in the Ixseed, Sora and Shiro,"

  Sora took Shiro's hand and raised it high, beginning his decration.

  "gratutions to the Werebeast nation of the Eastern Federation, ranked 14th in the Ixseed, for being honored as the first sacrifi rand quest of the world. In this national-level game, our demand to your nation is—"

  Sora's smile was full of hostility as he decred:

  "—Everything you have on this ti."

  Werebeasts, Immanity, and Flügel... Basically everyone in the Embassy except Haruya and the Kuuhaku(Bnk) siblings were stunned.

  When Steph was about to ask if the siblings had gone mad, Jibril pinned her to the ground. The former princess looked quite pitiful...

  "Such a lowly race dares to challenge us?" growled the elderly Werebeast.

  "Old man, are you bag down? Uhe previous King of Elkia, or Elven Gard, we won't lose everything in your traps."

  Sora then posed five 'questions', f Ino to make a decision...

  "[Question 1] Why erase memories of the 'uable' game?

  —Because without erasure... it wouldn't be uable."

  "[Question 2] Why did Elven Gard challenge four times?

  —To... use the losses... to crack the uable game..."

  "[Question 3] Why lie about being able to read minds?

  —Because they 't..."

  "[Question 4] What is a game that should be winnable in principle but isn't?

  —A game where cheating is allowed... 'video games'..."

  "[Question 5] Why did the previous Immanity king lose eight times in a row?

  —To gather the necessary information to pass on to the representatives of the Immanity race after his death..."

  Sora tinued, "This is an all-or-nothing game. Of course, you have time to sult your representatives. Just notify us once you've decided. It would have been easier if we had just traded Izuna's underwear from the start. Sorry about that, Izuna-."

  "This is so fusing, desu..." Izuna looked dazedly at the ceiling, not fully uanding Sora's words.

  Ino, however, uood the situation clearly. The Immanity kings, Sora and Shiro, koo much...

  "Without me saying it, you should know that in a game wagering the race piece, all members of the Immanity race have the right to spectate. So, you'll o prepare the venue and equipment. Also, we will be pying with four people, and you have nht to refuse. So, please take care of that." Said Sora.

  "Before that," Haruya interrupted Sora at this point, "Are helpers allowed? I'd like to join this game as well."

  "Well, my sister and I have no problem with that. After all, we 't lose in games. The issue is with the old mahere..." gestured Sora.

  "Ino-san..." Haruya stood up and approached Ino, whispering something in his ear.

  Ino's eyes widened, "You damn hairless monkey, why..."

  Haruya pressed on, "So I join too? Of course, I'll team up with the adorable Izuna-."

  Ino sighed, "You're just as unpleasant as they are..."

  "Not really, just average."

  Sora raised his hand, "I'd like to team up with Izuna and py games too. After we wi's py together, Izuna."

  Shiro: "Me too... with Izuna-tan..."

  As the siblings spoke, and Izuna gred at them, "You're here to pick a fight, right? desu."

  "Not really, it's just a game." replied Sora.

  "Then you're my enemies, desu..." The beast-eared loli spoke with hostility in her eyes, "I will never lose to you, desu."

  Shiro: "That's impossible... 　　 never loses..."

  Both sides were fident in their ces of winning.

  However, Haruya was the one who uood the situation the most.

  That's why he wouldn't let the plot unfold as it was supposed to. He wouldn't let Sora and Shiro achieve their desired oute.

  Because the representative of the Werebeast race should be him. He would never let aake the beast-eared girls away.

  Iemosphere, Haruya broke the mood with an out-of-pce request, "Excuse me everyone, I get another cup of tea?"

  The Kuuhaku(Bnk) siblings chimed in:

  "I'll have ooo."

  "Thirsty..."

  After saying that, Sora leaned forward slightly, resting his hands oable as he looked at Haruya:

  "Haruya, you're quite quick to act. Is it because as a gamer, you also 't hold back?"

  Haruya denied, "I'm not some pro gamer."

  Sora: "What did you say to that old geezer earlier? Did you trade underwear for a spot in the game?"

  "Not at all," Haruya immediately refuted it, "If anything, the old man is still mad at me for teasing those beast-eared girls earlier..."

  "Wow! I'm so jealous!"

  "Well, beast-eared girls are the best."

  Sora nodded in agreement, which is why they targeted this pce from the start...

  Haruya took another sip of tea. Since he was going to bee the beast-eared loli's ally, he had t out his true skills.

  After all, ba his world, Nangou Haruya was known as the 'Non-gamer Gaming Genius'.
