The thing in the mining town is a surprisingly difficult problem.
It has layers of top-class seals placed on it.
It'll take months to awaken using the unbinding ceremony alone.
Can't you just take the sealed documents from the academy library?
Honestly, I have basically no interest in what you're trying to do here.
I just want to prove one thing...
that I'm the true successor to the Demon Lord.
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Episode 6
The Demon Lord's Successor
Why would an imperial princess come to our school?
Please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness.
You don't have to do that.
We're both students here.
Besides, even though I am a princess,
I'm the Lost Queen.
I no longer officially exist.
The Lost Queen...
Four years ago, when the Fire Spirit Princess, Rubia Elstein, vanished...
Four years ago.
The Divine Parliament tried to push a second Spirit Princess to take
Rubia's place to help calm the spirit king's rage.
The second crown princess, Princess Fianna, was picked to be her successor,
but she chose to step down from the candidacy.
My existence was then erased from the royal family,
and I took my leave from politics.
Everyone knows the story.
But, the reason why she turned down the candidacy
still hasn't been made public.
The Lost Queen...
is this girl?
Anyway, I'm not a princess anymore, but nice to meet you,
Kamito Kazehaya-kun.
Hm?
What's wrong?
W-Well...
I wasn't thinking, and...
S-Sorry...
Kamito-kun, you pervert...
Don't start flirting in front of me. It pisses me off.
So, what's this special mission?
You want me to stay by Fianna's side, or something?
That's right.
I want you to guard the princess.
This is an S-rank mission.
S-rank?!
It's dangerous, but it'll pay a lot if you succeed.
It's a good chance for you to raise your team ranking.
Not a bad deal for you.
Tell me the details.
Do you know the mining town, Gad?
It's a place where they mined spirit ore, correct?
It became a ghost town a few decades ago, right?
There's been strange earthquakes happening at that town as of late.
I want you to go investigate.
Why is it S-rank if we're just checking out some earthquakes?
Well, it seems there's something that could cause some
potential problems there...
Potential problems?
A strategic military spirit.
A strategic one?!
That's right.
A weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying a city on its own.
As you're aware, these weapons are considered extremely inhumane,
and at the end of the last great war, all of them were sealed off
and disposed of.
You can't mean that spirit's causing these earthquakes?
It's only a possibility.
If for some reason
your investigation determines that the seal is coming undone...
I am to use a spirit dancing ritual to repair the seal, correct?
That's correct.
The princess is an expert at using spirit dancing to calm spirits.
She's the best for this job.
What will you do?
I can't decide this on my own.
I need return to my room and ask Claire, as well.
Claire Elstein...
The Calamity Queen's little sister...
That princess is pretty bold, herself.
You knew about the fraud in the transfer exams, Headmaster?
Of course I noticed.
Then, you just let her get away with it?
At the mere age of thirteen, Princess Fianna was chosen
to be the second spirit princess after Rubia Elstein.
How fortunate for us if she reawakens as an elementer.
Yeah, but if she goes
about her normal life here, anyone's going to notice what she's up to...
I know. I just knocked on wood, myself.
If she doesn't awaken, that's that,
but if she does, lucky us.
That's exactly why I paired her with that kid.
What are you trying to...
It seems we have another uninvited guest in the academic city.
What?
Are you okay with me being your guard?
Of course! I'll be depending on you.
You're not being threatened by Greyworth to team up with me?
No. I requested you.
You did?
It would be just wonderful
to take a trip with the world's only male elementaler.
Look at that.
Kamito Kazehaya has already gotten his hands on the transfer student.
The lewd beast's showing his true colors.
No, he's a demon lord, a womanizing demon lord!
The demon lord of the bedroom!
Yeah, a demon lord.
Totally a demon lord!
The demon lord of the bedroom? Give me a break.
Hey!
What's the matter?
Your chest is pressing against me...
I don't mind.
Or do you...
not like dirty princesses?
If I said I came to this school just to see you, would you believe me?
Came to see me? We just met a second ago!
Dummy.
Ren Ashbell.
Why do you...
I guess you really don't remember.
Jeez, that Kamito!
He's always—
This slave of mine
really can't keep his hands to himself, can he?!
W-Wait! Don't get the wrong idea, Claire!
This girl is, uh...
Claire?
I'm going to teach you a les—
You're Claire Rouge?
Huh?
Y-Yeah, what about it?
Huh?
Totally not happening!
I don't like it, but I understand us temporarily forming a team together,
but why does she have to be in our room?!
This place is small.
I wouldn't think a noble lived here.
Send your complaints to the headmaster!
I was talking about how much of a mess this place is.
Don't you agree, Kamito-kun?
Well, I guess...
Oh, speaking of, did you know that Ren Ashbell is really—
Ah, you know what?! It is messy in here.
You should clean up, Claire.
You're on her side, too?!
I'm sorry, Claire.
I can't disobey our princess over here.
But why does she know my secret...
Anyway, why are you in my room?!
We already have three people in here if you include Est.
According to the dorm rules,
spirits don't count towards individuals housed in a room.
I'm supposed to be your slave spirit, right?
Yeah, but...
It's true things will start to get a little cramped, though.
I'll leave.
Huh?
Where are you going to go if you leave?
You planning on camping outside, or something?
I'm sure it'll work out.
No.
Why?
You can't!
If you're not here with me...
Who's going to do the cooking and cleaning?
You do it.
No!
Your food is really good.
Also, if you leave, you'll be all alone with Est, right?
And if Rinslet, or Ellis tried to approach you like she just did...
You're mine.
I won't let anyone have you.
Yeah, but...
Claire Rouge, just what type of relationship do you have with Kamito-kun?
Kamito is my slave spirit.
Slave spirit?
I-I mean, I did the spirit contract ritual with him...
Hey, is that true?
Uh, well...
I see, so you kissed him...
She's mad. I know she's mad.
I don't understand why, though.
A duel, Claire Rouge!
Duel?
A duel? Hey!
If you win, I'll leave this room.
You can have all the sex with Kamito you want.
I-I wouldn't do that!
Oh, you like doing it by yourself, too? That's fine.
D-Doing what?!
Or do you not have any confidence?
Are you scared of me taking Kamito-kun for myself?
As you wish!
Scarlet!
I'll fight you.
I didn't say we'd be doing a blade dance.
Huh?!
I'm not sure how good a noble you make
when you try to solve everything with violence.
What?!
Is everything you eat going to your boobs instead of your brain?
Well, that's obviously impossible.
I'm turning you to cinders!
Wait, Claire!
How are we supposed to fight, then?!
Hm... Let's see.
How about cooking?
Offering good food to a spirit is another form of spirit dancing,
just like the blade dance.
It's an important skill for an elementaler.
Or do you lack confidence you can win?
Just like you seem to lack any boobs.
What?!
Fine. You're on.
Let's cook.
I guess I'll ask...
what's this black mass supposed to be?
It seems I cooked it for a bit too long.
It's not about how it looks,
it's about how it tastes.
Chomp, chomp.
It's very bitter.
You've turned against me?
Scarlet is eating up like she's enjoying it!
She's a fire spirit, so I don't think she has a sense of taste...
Looks like this match is over.
Uh... What's this?
A Ordesia royal family special, white chowder.
White?
We can't eat this!
You're going to complain without trying it?
That's not fair.
Fine.
I'm good with spicy foods.
Don't overdo it.
The princess didn't eat your black mess either.
Hey! Are you okay, Claire?!
I win.
Was that the game?
Was it not?
This has been a long day.
Hey, Kamito-kun.
I'm coming in.
Right.
Hey, wait!
What are you doing?!
Doing? This is really...
embarrassing for me, too!
Then why don't you—
Um...
How is it?
A swimsuit?
You're the first guy I've shown any skin to...
Wh-Why?
The princess is going to wash your back.
You should be honored.
Wait. Hold on.
Why are you—
Stop squirming.
Are you trying to embarrass me?
Does that feel good?
N-No, this is just weird.
Hold on!
Why are you so difficult?
Just fall for me already.
Fall for you?
W-Wait, where are you trying to touch me?
If you don't give in, I'm going to tell Claire everything.
C-Claire?
Wh-What are you guys doing?!
I'm washing Kamito's back, as you can see.
What?
Could I ask you to leave?
I'm going to...
I'm going to wash your back, too.
What?!
I'm saying I'm getting in the bath, too!
Who's there?!
Scrub, scrub, scrub.
How is it, Kamito?
Does it feel good?
I make you feel better, don't I?
Hey! Where do you think you're touching, jerk?!
If you move so much, I'm going to rub up against him...
Just give me a break...
No, I make you feel better, don't I?!
Say I'm better!
Ouch!
You're going to scrape off my skin!
Huh? No way...
You've got scars all over your back...
They're scars from a long time ago.
Why are you trying to act all cool?!
Are you dumb, or something?
I'm going to wash you off.
That's hot!
Come on, suck it up.
What are you looking at?
It's nothing...
Is there something wrong with my spirit seal?
I said, it's nothing!
Your spirit seal has a beautiful design.
What's with you?
Hey.
You wouldn't understand, Claire Rouge.
Huh?
What was that about?
Fianna Ray Ordesia, what are...
Kamito, there's someone not good outside...
Not even worth killing.
Appear before me, Wolf Fang!
Appear before me, Blast Gear!
You owe me one, Ellis Fahrengart.
Are you okay?!
I'll be fine.
Who is he?!
He has nothing to do with you.
Leave this to Sylphid and fall back!
That's not happening.
We're elementalers.
We have a duty to fight and protect the school.
That's right.
Also, I can't just sit here knowing my friend got hurt.
Friend...
Right?
Kamito...
Kamito Kazehaya...
I didn't think you'd show up.
He knows my name...
Be careful.
He's contracted with two spirits.
A double conductor?
He's also a male elementaler.
You think you can cut me some slack today?
There's no point in me taking you out when you're so weak.
What was that?
All I need is this, for now.
They're sealed documents, taken from the school library.
Why did you...
Stop talking. Let's do this.
Kamito!
Right!.
He's got Wolf Fang, a close-range type,
and a long-range type, Blast Gear!
Right!
I'm not letting you get away!
Crap.
Kamito!
Not a problem.
I feel his presence!
Hm? Even if you've fallen,
you're still Ren Ashbell, huh?
What?
Appear before me, Falchion!
A third contracted spirit?!
That's not really that impressive!
The demon lord, Sulaiman, commanded 72 Spirits!
That's enough!
That was just a legend!
And if the realization of that legend was right before your eyes?
What?
I am Jio Inzaghi, the successor to the demon king.
Kamito, dodge!
Appear before me, Aerial!
A fourth?!
Claire!
You know, this isn't going to prove anything.
It's not going to prove that I'm the true successor to the demon lord.
Kamito...
I-I won't let you touch Kamito-kun.
I can't...
My legs are...
Appear before me, Shining Ray...
Fianna, run!
I can't move...
It's that day all over again!
Die!
Kamito!
Kamito-kun...
You've really fallen, you know that?
You tried to save that loser?
Fianna's our friend.
Over there!
Hurry!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Who was he?
I don't know.
Fianna!
Preview
You've changed quite a bit too, Kamito-kun.
No, wait—
What were you two doing here?!
Rinslet... I'm going to swallow my pride and ask...
Battle of the Mining City
Why are my boobs so small?!
