Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

"This is a chance to erase the memory I have, the memory that completely sees through your game."

"Come and shake hands?"

The rhythm of the scene was completely led by Sora, and Ino just sat there motionless while listening to everything Sora said, and it seemed that he didn't want to hold hands.

"It looks like... he's on guard."

"Did I get it right?"

"Cold reading. Even if you don't have the excellent insensitivity of the Werebeasts, if you have a little skill - a good observation ability, anyone can do this cheap trick."

"What a coincidence, this is my favorite move."

"???"

The audience seemed to understand slowly as they listened to the analysis of the young man named Kong.

The rumored mind-reading ability of the Werebeasts is fake. It is just a way of guessing human actions by relying on their superior insensitivity.

This guy is actually trying to lead the beastmen like this. What exactly is he planning to do?

At the same time, old man Ino is also using his unconventional five senses to observe Sora's heartbeat, but...

There was no abnormality in the accelerated heartbeat, which meant that this guy really thought so.

There was only a fierce smile on Sora's face. He looked at the old man Ino in front of him and said:

"Have you confirmed that it's not just a bluff?"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Sora's sinister smile made Ino feel a chill down his spine, and the audience began to wonder who was the inferior race.

Surprisingly, he was able to lead the beastmen with just a human body.

Is this something that can be done?

"Well, now that the unfounded lies of the God of Thought have been confirmed..."

Sora and Shiro left their seats in tacit understanding and slowly walked to a huge screen projecting a world map.

"Let's do the real work that we have been waiting for."

"In the name of the sixteenth-ranked Imanity, the plenipotentiary representatives of the Kingdom of Elkia - Sora and Shiro."

They slowly turned around and faced Ino and Izuna in the embassy.

"Your country, bless the Eastern Union to be chosen as the first sacrifice in the conquest of the world."

Listening to Bai's words, it seemed too arrogant to the audience no matter what.

"What on earth are they going to do...?"

The pig-headed boy Inosuke didn't know what had happened. He only knew that these guys who looked like beasts had extremely strong five senses.

"It looks like... it's about to begin, the real declaration of war."

Tanjiro explained slowly that Stephen had explained to them at the beginning that there was a gambling agreement in this world. Because of the constraints of the covenant, everything was decided by the game, but the items of the bet must be equal, at least recognized by both parties, in order to constitute a game.

Now, regardless of the game, if it was Elkia who declared war, then what exactly could they bet on?

In the past few days, it seems that humans have nothing precious to offer.

Could it be that you are really betting on underwear?

"Our side, to your country."

"We demand that in the game against the country, we put everything the Eastern Union has on land at stake."

"???"

"National game? Everything on land? Our side challenging the Eastern Union?"

"Did you just say that? Did you just say that?"

Stephen looked at the blank space in front of him. Even Stephen, who had been taking care of them like a servant, was confused.

She had never heard of someone betting against others right away to block the country's blockade.

Just like Stephen’s reaction, the audience didn’t react at all.

In a gambling game, the stakes are everything to the country, which means that if the country loses, then humanity will lose everything, and humans will be a wandering race. On the contrary, if the beastmen lose, it will be the same, and in this world, there will suddenly be a surge in countless homeless creatures.

This is the national game.

Regardless of who wins or loses this game, the result will definitely be extremely cruel in the end.

"Yes, the thing we are betting on has not changed. It is still Stephen's underwear."

"Just stop when Izuna's underwear is on the line, I'm so sorry..."

Sora slowly walked in front of Ino, the smile on his face still very sinister, and it seemed as if a huge chessboard appeared between them, and at this moment...

"General..."

Seeing these guys unreasonably using Stephen's underwear to challenge the entire territory of the Eastern Union, even the audience would find it difficult to accept it for a while.

"After all, although running away would partially prove the blank conjecture, you can also shirk responsibility by saying that the stakes were not equal afterwards."

Hikigaya analyzed the situation at hand, because the current situation of the Werebeasts that Sora had predicted was extremely bad, but they just had to choose to avoid the battle.

The excuse that the stakes are not equal can even fool most people.

By then, if anyone asks about it, they will just think that the human race is a race with no real talent, a poor race, who actually wants to bet an entire country with a pair of underwear. The beastmen will still be in a good position, at least there will be no suspicion.

but...

"They shouldn't just think about this... Is there anything else that humans can add to the bet..."

Although Hikigaya was still thinking, he didn't understand the current situation.

What on earth do these two want to do...

Likewise, the clever Jibril did not understand what her masters were trying to do.

"Master, what is going on..."

Seeing the Werebeasts in such an ugly situation, the smile on Jibril's face was extremely bright.

"Jibril, don't you understand?"

"This will put the Eastern Union in a desperate situation."

Sora put his hands in his pockets and said as if everything was in his plan:

"Half a century ago, the island nation where technology developed rapidly - Eastern Union."

"However, it is not easy for a high-level civilization to survive, as it requires land resources at all times."

"So, before we got the mainland territory, we were challenged by Elven Gard. It was a game to lure the enemy into taking the bait."

"But no one would take the bait when faced with an unclear game where the strongest country wins consecutively."

"If we can't get the land, we should be prepared to sacrifice and lose the game. Why didn't we do that?"

Kong's words gradually became low, and he slowly placed his hands on the table, and his expression became very interesting.

"Dear audience members, let's solve the mystery in order."

After hearing what Kong said, the audience, who had just been stunned, opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears.

"Question one, why do you want to erase the memory of the game..."

Bai replied:

"Because if you don't eliminate it, it's not a winnable game."

"correct!"

"It contradicts the idea of ​​luring the enemy into a trap. The reason for using unreasonable amnesia is that it would be more difficult if they were exposed."

"But even if the memory is erased, the result of losing the game will still remain."

"Question two, why did Elven Garde challenge four times?"

Bai replied:

"Speculate on the content of the game in order to lose."

"correct!"

"Elven Gard is different from Elkia. It is a great country."

"You can try it with a little awareness of loss."

"I don't know what the memory is, but after losing once, the elves guessed that it was a game without magic. Based on the reason why the elves could lose, this should be the first thing they suspect."

"Then, the elves devised a countermeasure that didn't require magic, and challenged it, but lost again. This was the third time. I don't know how they did it, but I learned the content of the game."

"Although I envy the official cheats of magic, I made every effort to prepare and challenged for the fourth time, but I still lost..."

To be honest, the audience was shocked after listening to Kong's guess.

You know, the information that the elves lost to the beastmen four times is everywhere, but can we guess this based on this alone? That's too exaggerated.

Or...are these just empty fantasies? Is this a bit of an over-interpretation?

"What a great delusion."

Even old man Ino, who knew the truth, couldn't help but sigh at this.

But before he could continue, Sora continued to speak:

"But the assumption that the elves lose is irrelevant. The most important thing is..."

"Why did you stop after four challenges?"

"Besides that, it doesn't matter if it's seen as delusional."

Sora picked up two pieces of fruit from the table as a treat for the guests, and continued:

"There are only two possible reasons for giving up the challenge."

"The first one..."

He threw one of the fruits to Bai, letting Bai take over his words.

"Now that we know that it is a game that we are bound to lose in principle, if we reveal it, we will definitely win the fifth time."

"Then the second one..."

"I know what game it is, but I still don't know why I lost, so I gave up the challenge."

"But...huh? That's weird?"

Conan, who was investigating a case somewhere, felt a chill on his back. Why does this guy speak so much like me?

“I know what the game is, but I don’t know why I lost the game?”

"Yes, the next one is finally coming..."

Kong started dancing with excitement, his tone was also very excited.

"Question three, this is a sure-win game that is effective against races of completely different natures and can only be won by the highly skilled Eastern Union. The correct answer is—"

Bai replied:

"Yes, it's a video game that allows you to cheat at will."

"Video games? What are those?"

Now not only Stephen and Jibril, but also most of the audience don't know what the so-called video games are? But it doesn't matter, because...

"Jibril, you have challenged the Eastern Union once, right?"

"And the huge electronic screen in the lobby of the embassy is all about video games, so you forget it."

After hearing what Kong said, the audience finally reacted.

Those who have challenged the Eastern Union should have seen it before. If they really haven't seen it, it must be something related to the game.

But... that huge electronic screen, is it actually related to the content of the game? What is hidden in it that even the elves cannot defeat?

Could it be...is it really like what Kong said, a game where one can cheat at will?

“But even if we don’t talk about that, if Jibril, a Flügel, doesn’t know about it, then the only country in this world that owns video games is the Eastern Union.”

"That's why I erased the memory and hid it."
