But small loss is big on a 9x9

But black is far behind whatever happens*, probably even loses with no komi.

Edit *if both players play good moves. E7 is best chance to win because maybe a weak white player will be silly and take the bait and play d4, allowing black to encroach further at g7 and then it’s close.
