Shangri-La Frontier season 2 episode 9: Sunraku gets new weapons and heads up to Fifthticia
Shangri-La Frontier season 2 episode 9 starts with Sunraku meeting up with Emul and the latter telling him about the new member of the Rabituza scenario, Akitsua Akane. This frustrates Sunraku as he realizes that this girl could leak the information about this Unique Scenario to the rest of the game and even make his own journey even harder.
The protagonist also tells Emul that he is heading to Fifthticia since he wants to meet two people for a quest, who happen to be Rust and Mold from Nephilim Hollow. He decides to manipulate the little Vorpal bunny by giving her a carrot and asking her to wait in Rabituza. If Akitsua Akane appears again, she can stall her because Sunraku wants to speak with that player.
Shangri-La Frontier season 2 episode 9 then has Bilac talking with Emul and Sunraku about the fact she has already prepared the weapons for the latter. She made them with the material of the Golden Scorpion and Crystal Scorpions, which are two giant weapons created for brawling combat named Gilta Brille.
