Episode Title:
This Nonsensical Peace.
Episode Description:
As Hitoe brings Ruko to the library for a battle, Yuzuki and Akira begin their battle as well, with Akira using the same tactics she used against Hitoe to learn of Yuzuki's wish, that she is in love with Kazuki, enraging her. As Ruko ponders if she should just let Hitoe win and grow further towards her wish, Tama states her desire to win, with Hitoe adding that she would not feel happy if Ruko lost on purpose. Hearing this, Ruko decides to give the battle all she has and wins the match, causing Tama to evolve into a stronger form. After the battle, Ruko asks Hitoe to become her friend, to which she responds that she'll think it over. Later that night, Ruko hears from Kazuki that Yuzuki hasn't returned home, with the two eventually finding her in a sorry state following a crushing defeat from Akira. Kazuki explains that he had met up with Momoka earlier to acquire a card for Yuzuki's deck, though Kazuki's kindness only serves to make Yuzuki feel more burdened inside. Meanwhile, as Akira vents her frustration over exactly when she will be able to have her wish granted, another model and Selector named Iona Urazoe is seen with an LRIG.
