No Game No Life - ep07

Now with the defeat of Jibril, things proceed onto a transitional episode to define Kuuhaku's next target as well as integrating Jibril into their little group. Initially there was a expectation that they would play around with Jibril like they did with Steph but this time around it was more business. They get down to learning about their next target the beast-people the Juujin. However as thing turn out Flugels nor the elfs have ever won against them and anyone that lose get their memory erased so there is no information on them. What is worse is that the only one to play a game with them in the last decade was the foolish king. That result in him losing half his lands to them over the course of eight games. Then in Sora frustration he takes out his irritation on Steph by insulting her grandfather for his stupidity.

Although once Sora regret what he has done and has had some time to cool down. He starts to think on why did Steph's grandfather keep challenging them when most everyone else gave up after their first loss. This leads to Sora going over what the king bet, it turns out most of the lands wagered were useless to Inmanity because they didn't have the resources to mine the materials. Although the only one that had value what the last one, this leads Sora to believe that they didn't erase the kings memories because they wanted him to keep challenge them because he had what they wanted. Then in overhearing this Steph gives Sora the key that the king entrusted to her.

This leads them to the secret room where he put down his encounters with the Juujin in a dairy. That he may have been prevent of speaking their secrets while he was living but once he is dead the pledge would no-longer have any hold over him. That now Sora has the information that he needs to challenging the Juujin, because it is not just the key to beat them but also the perfect bait. The reason being is that after all this time hiding the nature of their game, they wouldn't want it to be public. Then for this reason their secret is the best bait. Then as this is going on Kurami believes that Sora's backer is the Juujin, that with his interest in them as well as his defeat of both the Elfs and Flugels who have both lost to them before. The question is what will she think when Kuuhaku challenges them, and is this the prelude to a rematch between Kuuhaku and Kurami where the next target being the Elfs once the Juujins are defeated.
