The New Gate - Episode 9: The Princess of Bayrelicht

In Episode 9 of "The New Gate," Shin questions Schnee and Tiera about their animal disguises, which help them remain inconspicuous despite their elven features. They set out to meet Schweid, a former support character and the first emperor of the dragon kingdom Kilmont, who now leads a relaxed life. Representatives from various nations, including Schweid, attend the funeral of the former emperor of Farnid.

During the meeting, Schweid reaffirms his loyalty to Shin and expresses his willingness to serve him once more. They discuss plans, with Shin intending to explore a sacred site. Schweid plans to join Shin later after returning to Kilmont. Shin gifts Schweid his personal weapon, Nagizuki, which Shin has maintained and enhanced, making it five times stronger.

Cuore requests to accompany Shin on a day trip for goblin hunting, during which they investigate the regrowth of the Raluah forest following Shin's duel. They complete the mission and receive a message from Barlux, the guild master of Bayrelicht, summoning Shin to the palace.

At the palace, Shin meets Wolfgang, and they discuss Girart's Death Moon weapons, which Shin has repaired and now hands over to Wolfgang. Shin prepares to teleport to Bayrelicht when he senses someone watching them.

Upon arrival, Shin encounters Celica and Cilica, who explain the purpose of the summons. Barlux introduces Shin to Arahd, a mage who appraises gemstones. Arahd explains that a massive white sword, enchanted and comparable to the kingdom's royal sword, flew into the second princess's bedroom. The sword's mana traces matched the gemstone Shin had submitted, leading to his summons.

Shin meets Princess Rionne, who bypasses formalities and directly asks Shin to fight her, recognizing his unusual abilities and the letter of introduction from the Moon Sanctuary. The episode ends with anticipation for their duel.
