Ep. 8: Glasses-wearing Villain Negotiates Trade Deal and Guild Investments
Marielle and Henrietta meet Karashin, master of the Shopping Street 8 guild, to discuss a trade agreement for the second stage of Shiroe's plan. Karashin attempts to secure an exclusive deal with the Crescent Moon Alliance's food business, but Shiroe anticipated this. He has Marielle and Henrietta introduce Michitaka and Roderic, masters of the Marine Agency and Roderic Merchant Guild, forcing Karashin to accept the proposition at a reduced price. Meanwhile, Minori laments her struggles with Touya in Elder Tales, feeling they ignored Shiroe's advice and are unworthy of rescue. Shiroe then has Henrietta bait the guild masters into investing remaining gold for a profitable quest led by the "Villain in Glasses." Touya shares similar feelings with Minori, after which the Crescent Moon Alliance and Log Horizon invite Akiba's largest guilds to a conference about the city's future.
