**Battles without Moe** (萌えなき戦い, *Moenaki Tatakai*) is the eleventh episode of Akiba Maid War. It broadcasted in Japan on December 16, 2022.

## Synopsis

While the Oinky Doink Café staff are still prospering due to the Omoe-sama effect, they are suddenly cut off from the Creatureland Group. The situation surrounding them is getting worse every day, and the staff finds themselves in a serious predicament.

Meanwhile, Ranko tells everyone about her past with Nagi when she was a maid at the tea house, saying that she was the reason she was cut off.

## Plot

Creatureland sends a message to the Oinky Doink Caféthat they have officially been disowned from the group. Despite the fame from winning the Lady Omoe Festival, other Creatureland maids start harassing the café and even murder one of Nagomi's biggest regulars to drive business away. Ranko decides to tell the other staff about her past with Nagi and Michiyo and resolves to face Nagi alone. However, the next morning, the rest of the Oinky Doink staff decide to join her. The manager joins Shiipon, Yumechi, Zoya, and Okachimachi in taking the head maid of Dazzlion hostage to draw out Creatureland's main force while Nagomi and Ranko slip into their HQ.

However, Nagi already anticipated the attack and forced the two girls to surrender while a large force of maids fires through the windows of Dazzlion at the other Oinky Doink staff. In Nagi's office, Nagi forces Ranko and Nagomi to beg for their lives and the lives of the Oinky Doink Café. After desperate pleas from both maids, Nagi decides to retract her disownment of their café, provided they earn ten times as much "sweets money" for Creatureland. Hostilities are then ended, though not before Zoya shoots another maid on her manager's order. The next day, Ranko and Nagomi are shopping at a street market when another maid quietly stabs Ranko from behind. Nagomi holds Ranko in her arms as the latter dies.
