Rokujouma no Shinryakusha - ep03

Now as the big game is getting started everyone one has to get their club to participate. It seems that for the relay only two member per club can participate which is convent for Koutarou since he and Sakuraba are the only members. Although how he tried to convince her to help him out sound a bit too much like a love confession, but it clear how she feels about Koutarou if her disappointment is a sign of her true feeling once she realized what he was truly asking. The others join the relay with no problem it just that Sanae can't join because she is a ghost but instead she has to decide who to support and she will get the same place as them.

The race itself was kind of interesting with the various challenges to over come at each station. The other issue is that Theia and Kiriha set up traps to back stab the other competitors. The first was how Kiriha set up a massive pile up at the school gate. Which force Koutarou to take drastic action to allow him and Sakuraba to continue the race. The other big act of sabotage was done by Theia where she place a landmines beneath the last obstacle, which ultimately changes the results of the race. Although the most interesting point is the development of Sakuraba relationship with Yurika.

That this friendship is first formed when Yurika is have trouble to find to will to continue on and it is Sakuraba that is there to help pick her up. That from this moment on they progress together side by side not really caring what place they come in at. This turns out to be a fortunate out come for Sakuraba when she has an attack and the only one that can help her is Yurika. Although normal she would just give up but because she done so much or her she doesn't give in. this shows us that Sakuraba isn't quite normal since something help Yurika's magic along. Then there is the fact is her willingness to accept that Yurika used magic to heal her and not reject the fact like everyone else has done. That it is through their bond that allows them to come in first place when normally they would have came in last and the minefield did help them out. It seem that the nature of the game is going to make sure that no-one wins and no-one lose either. The other point that seems to exist is the exploration of the truth behind Sakuraba.
