An urban legend states that those exceptionally gifted at gaming will be sent a special game invitation, and the winners of the challenge will be whisked away to another world. When Sora and Shiro, two hikikomori NEETs who happen to be both siblings and notorious gamers, receive this invitation, they defeat it with ease. And like the legends tell, they're transported to another world where conflicts, peoples' lives and even country borders are decided by competitions and games. Always up for a challenge, the pair quickly take on the obstacles that come their way, whether it be restoring lowly humanity's good name compared with the other races or helping influence who will become the next king.

00:00Your attention, everyone!
00:04Having won all our games thus far in the tournament,
00:07Courta Mizzelle awaits our next opponent.
00:09Is there anyone left who is up to the challenge?
00:12Sora, wait! You can't be serious!
00:14You're gonna crash the coronation?
00:16Hey, I just scored a new life in this world.
00:18I can't lose my place to live that quickly.
00:21Yeah, but...
00:22Now then, I think it's time for me to become king
00:26and take back our lost territory!
00:30If there are no other challengers,
00:33I shall proceed with the former king's final wish and crown,
00:37Courta Mizzelle, as our new ruler.
00:40Should anyone wish to protest, speak now for...
00:43Objection!
00:44You heard me. Objection!
00:49So, are you saying that you request to be her next challenger?
00:53Yep.
00:56Despite your loss, you're still desperate enough to win
00:58that you're sending your butler after me?
01:00In case you hadn't noticed, little princess,
01:02this isn't a playground.
01:04Yeah, and it's not the place to hand over the throne
01:06to some con artist, either.
01:08Especially one who's getting help from another country.
01:13Well, Shira?
01:14There's one.
01:15Anyone else hiding their ears?
01:18Nope.
01:19That strange device.
01:21They used it before.
01:23And just what do you mean by that?
01:25Oh, come on now.
01:27Let's say, for example,
01:28if the crown was given to someone in cahoots with the elves,
01:31Elkia would be pretty much screwed, right, guys?
01:34Elf?
01:34What exactly is the meaning of this?
01:38So, what?
01:39Is this your pathetic attempt at accusing me of cheating?
01:41Calm down.
01:42I clearly said, for example.
01:45Or maybe it actually rings a bell for you, huh?
01:48Fine, then.
01:50Since you've made your objection,
01:51I suppose I'll have to humor you with a game.
01:53Is that what you want?
01:54Yay!
01:55Thanks, madam.
01:56I'd really appreciate that.
01:57But, but, miss...
01:57One thing.
01:59If we're playing poker again,
02:00maybe this time,
02:01you should ask your friend to leave.
02:03I'm sorry to have to do this, but...
02:06There's no...
02:07What the hell's going on?
02:08So these two witches,
02:10we're working together?
02:11Nothing to say?
02:13The pretty swindler's gonna abandon her partner in crime?
02:16How cruel.
02:18I get it.
02:19So you've teamed up with some random elf
02:21to try to make me out to be an enemy of humanity?
02:23Is that it?
02:24Pretty good deflection, I must admit.
02:27Perhaps it's best you left.
02:29Elves have no place here.
02:31There.
02:34You satisfied?
02:35Ready to play now?
02:36Sure am.
02:37As you're likely aware,
02:39as stated by the pledges,
02:40I get to decide the game.
02:42But no need to worry.
02:43I'll choose a game where cheating is impossible.
02:46Pledge number five?
02:47The challenged party has the right
02:48to decide the content of the game, huh?
02:51Dang.
02:52No poker this time?
02:53Well, sits up such a nice guy,
02:54I won't bother asking about your reasons.
02:56Say cheese!
02:58Hmm.
02:59Wow, you're not really photogenic.
03:01If you smiled once in a while,
03:03you'd be a lot cuter.
03:04We'll hold the game in another venue.
03:07I'll call for you once it's prepared.
03:11Wait!
03:11You're telling me she used magic to beat me?
03:14Hey, will you keep it down a little bit?
03:16That's right.
03:17Shiro and I both noticed
03:18when we saw your game at the tavern.
03:19Don't you mean I noticed?
03:21Don't sweat the small stuff, sis.
03:22So that's what it does then?
03:24That special secret tool of yours
03:25is for detecting magic, isn't it?
03:27So how'd they do it?
03:28What kind of magic did that elf use?
03:30No idea, Sugar Pants.
03:33Magic's amazing, isn't it?
03:35If she could change cards when they're face down,
03:37we could never prove it.
03:38Under normal circumstances,
03:40there's essentially no way to beat her.
03:42Why do you think we didn't challenge her before?
03:45Look, Steph,
03:46I'll break it down as simply as I can for you.
03:50First of all,
03:50this round-robin-style tournament
03:52to become king is pretty jacked up to begin with.
03:55Let's say a country partners up with an humanity
03:57with the promise of becoming king.
03:59From there on,
04:00they can manipulate the games.
04:01They'll play against other humanities
04:03who also can't detect magic,
04:05so it's a guaranteed win.
04:06Now that they've got a puppet king,
04:08they can pretty much do whatever the heck
04:09they want with Elkia.
04:10The plan's so simple,
04:12even a baby could have dreamt it up.
04:15But then,
04:16guess what the other countries start thinking?
04:18So, what do you think we should do now?
04:21There's nothing to worry about.
04:23He's just another humanity.
04:24Even if he's probably getting help from another race,
04:27so am I.
04:28It's not like I didn't expect this.
04:31Kurumi,
04:31do you really think you'll be able to handle
04:33playing the games without me?
04:36I'll be fine.
04:39So you really think it's possible
04:40that Kurumi has convinced herself
04:42that we're getting help from another race?
04:44Yeah.
04:45By now,
04:46she probably realizes
04:47that Elkia's caught in a diplomatic war
04:49between other nations.
04:50Then we're in luck.
04:51She can't use magic again,
04:52since she'll think other races will be watching.
04:54Aha!
04:55So she'll have to play fair and square,
04:57and it'll be impossible
04:58for her to cheat using magic.
04:59It's all sunshine and flowers in your head.
05:02You just crushed my optimism,
05:03why don't you?
05:04I'm sure they expected it.
05:06Another country was bound to intervene.
05:08But I'll bet this time
05:08they'll use some spell or mind trick
05:10we can't detect.
05:11If we can't even spot the regular tricks,
05:13then we're totally doomed.
05:14They'll lay out a game
05:15that looks fair on the surface,
05:16so it doesn't seem completely hopeless.
05:18But they won't use their magic directly on us,
05:21like screwing with our vision or memories,
05:23because it'll be too obvious.
05:24In other words,
05:25it won't be completely impossible to win.
05:27So is that supposed to make me feel better?
05:30As long as there's some path to victory,
05:32no matter how small.
05:33Then you can bet your sweet fanny
05:34that Blank won't lose.
05:36There you go.
05:37Ah!
05:38Hmm?
05:42Let me be honest with you guys.
05:44The only reason I struck a deal with the elves
05:46was to secure a place for humanity to live,
05:49after I've won the tournament.
05:51Once we've acquired a fair amount of territory,
05:53I'll cut ties with the elves for good.
05:55Oh, jeez.
05:56Oh, jeez.
05:56I know she's dumb,
05:58but you didn't have to say it out loud, sis.
06:00So, you know, we might be spies,
06:02and yet you're still telling us your plan.
06:03Cuckoo!
06:04Think about it.
06:05The only way for us to survive
06:07is to win the right to live
06:08under the protection of a powerful nation,
06:10give up on games,
06:11and close off our borders.
06:13There's no other choice.
06:15Right, little princess?
06:17You of all people should understand that.
06:19Well, I...
06:20What's more,
06:21Elven Guard currently comprises
06:23the largest nation in the world,
06:24and not a single race
06:26has been able to defeat their magic?
06:28It's impossible for you to beat me,
06:30so it's in your best interest
06:31just to withdraw from the game.
06:33I swear to all humanity
06:34that I won't let the elves
06:35make me their puppet.
06:37Sora!
06:37Okay, not a bad plan.
06:40We live quietly under another nation's wing.
06:43Sounds pretty promising.
06:44Doesn't it?
06:45That's why you should withdraw.
06:46We can always have you our next...
06:47But I refuse!
06:49You know, one of the things
06:50Blank loves best?
06:51Telling people no and shutting them down
06:53when they think they've already won the game.
06:55Then telling them they can go screw themselves!
07:00Number four on our list of things
07:02we always wanted to say someday!
07:03Sweet, we did it!
07:04Yeah, we're so awesome!
07:05It appears that reasoning with you
07:08is a waste of time.
07:10Then just as you wish,
07:11I will make you yield by force.
07:15It's your funeral.
07:18But Sora, why not?
07:20Why what?
07:21That plan she was just talking about.
07:23It kind of makes sense
07:24given the desperate situation we're in.
07:26Steph, look.
07:27Don't you think it's about time
07:28you learned to stop being
07:29so trusting of people?
07:30For one,
07:32what proof do we have
07:32that anything she said is even true?
07:34Second,
07:35if she's so confident
07:36that she can win,
07:37then why did she ask us to withdraw?
07:40And third,
07:41even if anything she said was true,
07:43I could be a spy from another country
07:44and anyone dumb enough
07:45to spill their plans
07:46shouldn't be ruling.
07:47Okay, fourth,
07:48if we play along
07:49and she does any digging on us,
07:50we're totally screwed!
07:52Compride?
07:53Wow,
07:54you really put a lot of thought
07:55into that speech,
07:56didn't you?
07:56Look,
07:58those are just details.
08:01Don't sell humanity short.
08:03We're better than that.
08:15Chess?
08:16That's right.
08:17But this isn't your normal game of chess.
08:20Each piece has a will of its own.
08:22Give them orders
08:23and they'll move.
08:24Think of them
08:25as your own personal army.
08:29So that's how this works.
08:31Shira,
08:31what's the plan?
08:33Chess is no different
08:34than a game of tic-tac-toe.
08:37So, like,
08:38it's cool if we rotate mid-game, right?
08:40Oh,
08:40Zora?
08:41I'm not trying to be difficult,
08:42but the two of us
08:43count as a single player.
08:45Plus,
08:45you seem to be pretty familiar
08:46with this game already,
08:47whereas,
08:47we don't have a clue.
08:48Cheese!
08:50They'll never figure this out.
08:52You may do whatever you wish.
08:54But why?
08:55Do you think I'm going to lose?
08:57Hey,
08:57don't take it personally.
08:59Hell would freeze over
09:00before you ever
09:01lost a game of chess.
09:02But this isn't the game
09:04you're used to.
09:05And don't forget,
09:07combined,
09:08we're a single player.
09:09Blank is both of us.
09:11You're right, I know.
09:13I'll be careful.
09:15Let's go.
09:16Right.
09:16Finished with your little chat?
09:19I'll let you make the first move.
09:23And the game is officially underway.
09:28Ashente!
09:34Kurumi.
09:38D2 to D4.
09:40Chess favors the first player.
09:47If both players
09:48always pick their best moves,
09:49then the first player
09:50has a higher chance of winning.
09:53What the?
09:54There's no way
09:54she's not aware of that fact.
09:56G7.
09:58Advance.
09:58But it moved three spaces.
10:07That isn't fair.
10:08Weren't you listening?
10:10In this game,
10:11the pieces have wills
10:12entirely of their own.
10:14Now I get it.
10:15The player's traits
10:16affect their moves.
10:17Stuff like charisma
10:19and one's potential
10:20leadership skills.
10:21You're a quick learner.
10:23It's the perfect game
10:24to decide the next king,
10:25don't you think?
10:27Knight, please move to C3.
10:31Now, F7.
10:32Forward.
10:36Just forward?
10:37That's kind of vague.
10:38What kind of move
10:38is that supposed to be?
10:39Just shut up and watch.
10:41E2 to E4.
10:46F5.
10:47Forward to take her piece.
10:47Let's not forget.
10:48Once Shiro's deep into a game,
10:51her concentration is unbreakable.
10:53That's how.
10:54Even my little sister
10:56has the power
10:56to defeat a god.
10:58Queen to H5.
11:02Check.
11:04Wow, Shiro's amazing!
11:05Even with Kurumi
11:06sidestepping the rules,
11:08Shiro's totally destroying her!
11:09It's not that amazing
11:10when you think about it.
11:12Take a game of Shogi,
11:13for example.
11:14It's entirely possible
11:15for a top player
11:16to defeat their opponent
11:17using nothing
11:17but their king and pawns.
11:19Simply bypassing a few rules
11:21isn't enough
11:21to defeat a true master.
11:23F2.
11:24Move to F4.
11:26However.
11:28F2.
11:29Move to F4.
11:31Wait, why isn't it moving?
11:33I knew this would happen.
11:35Mind filling me in?
11:36What's different
11:37about this chess game
11:38is that sometimes
11:40the pieces won't move.
11:41What?
11:42No soldier
11:43would willingly
11:44put themselves
11:44in a situation
11:45that would result
11:46in their death.
11:47They either need
11:47a fantastic leader
11:48or extraordinarily
11:49high morale.
11:51But that means...
11:52Correct.
11:53She's incapable
11:54of sacrificing
11:55any of her pieces.
12:00Better make your move.
12:02Otherwise,
12:02you're going to run
12:03out of time.
12:04Now, Knight,
12:06take H7.
12:07D4 to D5.
12:28D4 to D5.
12:32D5.
12:34D5.
12:36A3.
12:42Bishop.
12:45I'm...
12:46Oh, sorry.
12:47Shiro.
12:49Sora.
12:50I can't do it.
12:51I'm really, really sorry.
12:59I'm really, really sorry.
13:07Sora.
13:08Shiro.
13:10I'm...
13:11Sora?
13:14Attention, all forces!
13:23As your king, I hereby declare,
13:25those who fight bravely will be heroes
13:29and win the right to get it on with any woman they like.
13:32Also, all you soldiers fighting on the front lines,
13:35if we win, you will be relieved of any further military duties.
13:38I'll make sure that you're exempt from paying taxes
13:40and you'll be handsomely compensated by your country.
13:43Therefore, fellow virgins, you must not die!
13:48And to all of you who have family and other loved ones back home,
13:52I promise you will all come back alive!
14:00But what? You can't really promise them that!
14:04Thanks to you, I realized this game wasn't real chess.
14:08Oh?
14:08We got to think of it as a strategy game.
14:11I'll take it from here.
14:12But if I start losing it, feel free to jump in, okay?
14:15Now watch, because games like this are totally my specialty.
14:21Attention! Pawn Squad 6!
14:23The enemy's moving from the front line!
14:24Strike first and cut them off!
14:28He can't do that!
14:30Now, Cavalry Squad 2!
14:31The pawn's made an opening, so move in!
14:33King and queen, listen up!
14:35Hurry and move your asses to the front line!
14:36Hey, wait a minute! It's supposed to be my turn!
14:39Sorry, but in a real war, what fool waits for their enemy's turn?
14:43Pawn Squad!
14:45Advance the torment defensive wall!
14:47Ha! See that?
14:48Just a couple of cowardly monarchs hiding themselves behind their own soldiers!
14:51What kind of ruler lets their men die on the front line while they sit behind and watch?
14:56Ignore him!
14:57Listen, soldiers. Listen, friends. This battle decides the outcome of Elkia.
15:02Of humanity!
15:03This city represents the final bastion for our people, and the fate of everyone now rests in your hands.
15:09Open your eyes!
15:10Do you honestly want to risk your lives and your people's future by handing over the crown to some shifty charlatan like her?
15:16But if we come together and win, then she will be your queen.
15:20This girl who mere moments ago gathered all of her courage in her little heart to march you towards victory.
15:25This girl who is crying on the inside because you wrongly accused her of being a merciless tyrant.
15:31And you bastards call yourselves men!
15:35What is this? Where'd this power come from?
15:38Proud knights, bishops, and rooks! Now is your chance!
15:41Prove to me that you live up to your ranks!
15:43Give the pawn support!
15:44And cross the enemy's defenses!
15:47This can't be happening. It's impossible!
15:49Should be, right?
15:51I figured you're using Elk magic to force the morale of your troops higher.
15:54It would be easy to just claim you have more charisma than we do.
15:58Who wouldn't?
15:59It's not like anyone could prove it.
16:01Unfortunately, you made one giant mistake.
16:03And what was that?
16:04Throughout all of history, the wisest of kings know that an army will not obey oppressive or tyrannical rule.
16:10People will only fight for what they believe is truly right.
16:13And in this world, there is only one thing that is absolutely truly right.
16:16What is he talking about?
16:18The one eternal truth.
16:20The one virtue to rule the whole world.
16:22Is cuteness!
16:24Cute is the world!
16:25Our instincts and desires are driven by it!
16:28And for it, we'll give everything!
16:30Sorry, but that's just the way us men are!
16:33But that's...ridiculous!
16:37I still don't know which race is helping them.
16:41So if I do this, they might find me out.
16:43But I have no choice.
16:45Now kings, move forward to E6!
16:48What the heck just happened to that piece?
17:12This is bad.
17:13Everyone retreat!
17:14All forces pull back!
17:15The enemy's using brainwashing magic!
17:17He knows.
17:18Can someone explain this to me, please?
17:21I'm okay for now.
17:22They don't know how I'm doing it.
17:25As long as they can't prove that I'm cheating, then I win.
17:30Now, all forces advance!
17:34Oh, crap!
17:35Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!
17:37I royally screwed this one up!
17:38I thought she had only one cheat up her sleeve and disregarded any other possibilities!
17:42I can't believe I made the same mistake I was just lecturing Steph about!
17:45What, were the stakes not high enough for me or something?
17:47I'm better than this!
17:50Zora!
17:51Off with the enemy king's head!
17:54Finish him, my queen!
17:57And that's...
17:58Checkmate!
18:02Queen, wait!
18:03Oh, my queen, I beg you, put down your sword.
18:15To me, you're beautiful!
18:20Say what?
18:21My queen, my dear love, please search deep within your heart.
18:25Do you truly find any value in that so-called king's service?
18:29She brainwashes her soldiers, abusing and using them like expendable tools.
18:34Then she forces you to lead the assault, unworthy of your sword.
18:38I beg you to reconsider this.
18:40Please, think of your people!
18:42Think of the kingdom that you've swore to protect!
18:44When it comes to dating games, there's nobody, and I mean nobody out there that's better than me.
19:00Way to go!
19:01Looks like we've got their queen!
19:03He figured a way out!
19:04Not yet.
19:05Huh?
19:05The enemy's using some kind of magic that lets them brainwash others just by touching them.
19:11Stealing one piece from their side and adding it to our ranks won't be enough to change anything.
19:15It won't?
19:17Alright, the virgin like you can sweet-talk a chess piece.
19:20Surely you can find a way out of this mess.
19:22We caught her off guard.
19:23Maybe if we wait, she'll make a sloppy mistake.
19:25No, that might even be worse.
19:27Maybe I should hurry and make the next move.
19:30Damn it!
19:30What should I do?
19:31I royally screwed the pooch on this one.
19:33How the hell am I gonna fix this?
19:35Sora?
19:37Shiro?
19:40The two of us are blank.
19:42We'll be fine.
19:48Stay strong.
19:49Don't back down.
19:50Now, knight!
19:51I want you to advance and eliminate that traitor queen!
19:54That's it!
19:56What's wrong?
19:58Come on, move it!
20:05Jackpot!
20:17This is how we're gonna win!
20:19Shiro, you focus on commanding the army.
20:21Keep them moving so we don't get brainwashed!
20:24Piece of cake!
20:26You finally have a plan?
20:29Listen up, Steph.
20:30You don't always have to lift your sword to fight a battle, understand?
20:34Huh?
20:35There's always more than one way...
20:38...to win a game!
20:40You now have to do it again...
20:41What's wrong?
20:42I mean, what's wrong with my aye- 부탁?
20:42I can't do it yet...
20:43It's not fair that we got of time in anything.
20:45It easily becomes faster because we can't difficult done.

20:50I can't do it unless you can't take it.
20:52So you don't always go away from here forever.
20:53It's had to be done enough of the character.
