| The Round Table conference is informed that their investigation on the Fairy Rings was fruitless, which hinders their plans to create a way back and forth to the real world. Rayneshia is visited by her mother and is informed that her engagement with another noble was arranged, which leaves Rayneshia in distress due to her feelings for Crusty, who is still missing. Meanwhile, Shiroe receives a report of an investigation on several adventurers who were teleported away from the Yamato server like Crusty, but discovers that unlike him, they were not found in any other Elder Tale server and suspects that they have returned to the real world. Some time later, Ein, the leader of the guild Honesty, loses faith on the Round Table's capacity to manage the city's affairs and accepts the offer of the Holy Westlande Empire to become a duke. Shiroe fears that Ein's move is the beginning of the end for the Round Table. | ||||||
| 52 | 2 | "The Duke of Akiba" Transcription: "Akiba Kōshaku" (Japanese: アキバ公爵) | Akira Koremoto | Toshizō Nemoto | January 20, 2021 | |
| Ein's new title as Duke of Akiba gives hope to the People of the Land living in the city, who believe that their situation will improve, but Shiroe and his friends are worried about how it would affect the Round Table and the relations between Akiba and Eastal. Meanwhile, Intics is informed about the situation in Akiba and intends to oppose Nureha's effort to have Minami join forces with the Round Table, as Intics' main objective to take over the entire Yamato server for herself. Rayneshia is informed by Lord Malves that her marriage with Utena Saiguu Touri, heir of the Saiguu Family will be held within one week. At the Round Table Conference, Ein reveals his motives for accepting his new title, affirming that the incapacity of the conference to enforce authority in the city is a liability and announces that Honesty is seceding from the Round Table. After the meeting, Shiroe is called by Ein for a meeting in private, with Malves and Touri also participating. | ||||||

| Shiroe and Naotsugu attend a meeting with Ein, Malves and Touri. In the occasion, Ein reveals his motives for seceding from the Round Table, affirming that the People of the Land's lack of representativity on the conference's decisions is unaccepted and that four other main guilds are also withdrawing from it. Shiroe also learns from Touri that both the Westlande Senate and Intics are conspiring to begin a war against Eastal and Akiba. Recognizing Shiroe's merits, both Ein and Touri asks for his cooperation, but their conversation is interrupted by Rayneshia, who openly refuses to marry Touri and thanks to Crusty's words of encouragement left to her, asks Shiroe to prevent the Round Table from being dissolved. To deal with the impasse, Shiroe suggests that a general election must be held in Akiba, including all its citizens, adventurers or not, to decide its future. | ||||||

| The city of Akiba prepares for an election to choose between the Akiba Government, represented by Ein, or a reformed Round Table, represented by Reyneshia as their new form of government. Before the campaign begins, Reyneshia meets her mother and grandfather, convincing them to allow her to follow her own path. As the campaign progresses, the polls show that Ein leads by a huge margin due to his endorsement from the Saiguu Family and Reyneshia's refusal to marry Touri, which damaged her reputation as a noble. On the election's eve, Ein recognizes that he has the advantage, but is wary about what Shiroe is planning to do in order to reverse the situation. | ||||||
