Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai - ep08

Things this time are done with jump back and forth between two different groups. However the major focus is on Iria and Lisara, because Iria is being force by Merlot to lead Lisara into a trap. Although while this is going on Kyuuru is trying to seduce Ryousuke so that he can help Lisara, but thing don't go exactly as planned when Kyuuru unintentionally tells Ryousuke about Lisara's plan to save Mina. This doesn't go over too well with Ryousuke, and leads to him convencing Kyuuru to help him go after her.

While this is going on Iria and Lisara reach the Restol base that this trying to take Tuleslay back . They agree to help Lisara, and with this the plan is formed. When the army renews it's attack on Tuleslay, Iria and Lisara will head for the secret passage. However during this attack something unexpected gets revealed, that when Mina was trying to escape on her own. The tower was hit and the shock-wave knock her off the tower, and as she is falling to her death. It seems that her strong thought about Ryousuke cause her to release a large amount of energy, that ends up protecting during her decent. That means that there is either something special about her or that she is the one that Lisara was looking for in the Living world all this time.

After this happens Iria ends up following the plan that leads Lisara into the trap. Although the reason on why they want to have Lisara cancel her connection to Ryousuke, it most like has something to do with Graham. While I find that just torturing Lisara is pointless, because the mindless enemy are unable to convey their leaders goals or demands. Ultimatley Iria can't stand it anymore and jumps into save the Lisara, this determine which side Iria really is stands on. This allows for Lisara to go ahead to do what she came here to do.

While the conflict between Lisara and Iria is going on, the focus is returns to Ryousuke and Kyuuru. That in trying to escape, Kyuuru ends up invoking Arumeiya Restol wraith. That since Ryousuke has Graham he can't be allow to go anywhere near the battle field. That Lisara did what was expect of her as the next head of the Restol clan. Then for the sake of her daughters sacrifice she can't allow Ryousuke to leave. She remains firm on this belief until Ryousuke summons Graham in a display of power, and announcing to her that he is free of his doubt that as long as Lisara is by his side there is nothing that they can't do. In the end she allows him to go with the hope that both of them will be alright. The question is what role will Mina play in the future developmental of the story.
