Kamito-kun!
Fianna...
Are you okay?
That's your weakness.
I don't know if it's been subconscious or not,
but worrying about your friends behind you is distracting you from fighting.
Fianna, get back.
Kamito-kun!
Time for you to die.
Thanatos... One of the strongest spirits that I have.
I got it from your contracted spirit...
It couldn't be...
Restia!
Get out of here, you loser!
What?
You go crazy or something, little miss?
Watch your mouth.
Do you know who I am?
Fianna...
I declare in the name of the second crown princess to the Ordesia Empire,
Fianna Ray Ordesia, that I am an impartial enforcer and prosecutor.
I pronounce holy judgment in the name of the king!
No way...
Is that...
a blood stone?!
Come forth, for you are the sword of justice that extinguishes the darkness,
the Holy King of Destruction.
Damn you!
Magna Carta!
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Episode 8
Team Scarlet
Are you okay, everyone?
Jio Inzaghi? Where is he?
He was engulfed in that pillar of light and disappeared.
I don't think he's dead, though...
Fianna, what was that?
The blood of the spirit god, a blood stone.
It's a treasure passed down through the Ordesia family.
It's a special spirit stone, capable of temporarily sealing off the
power of high-level spirits.
It's a national treasure.
I saw that, Fianna.
Those aren't your real boobs!
The princess has fake boobs!
Is that true?
That's right!
They're pads! You got a problem?!
No...
I really don't care at all, but why would you do that?
To protect the blood stone.
If it's in my cleavage, no one will try to take it, plus...
I heard all guys like girls with large breasts.
You know there's guys that like girls with small boobs, right?
What?
Really?
Yeah.
Everyone has their own tastes.
Though personally, I do think it's better to have some than none.
That blood stone...
I was planning on using it as my trump card in the Blade Dance.
But, why are you carrying around a spirit stone like that?
Well, you guys would find out about this sooner or later, so...
I'll tell you.
After a certain incident, I lost my contracted spirit.
That was four years ago.
Four years ago...
Is that...
I lost my right to become a spirit princess, and was erased from the royal family.
I used spirit stones during the school entrance exam.
I released the power of the
stones hidden up my sleeves to make it look like I was controlling a spirit.
You used precious gems to help sneak you into the school?
What do you want badly enough to go that far?
Well... Kamito-kun...
I wanted to kiss him.
That's not right.
Hey, Claire.
Put your whip away.
I was just kidding.
My goal is to win the Blade Dance and have my wish granted.
I wanted to get back the power of my last contracted spirit.
Why did you want to team up with us?
I know I shouldn't be saying this, but our team sucks.
Well... I suppose I thought you guys would accept me.
What does that mean?
I mean...
You have a male elementaler, and you're the sister of the Calamity Queen.
No one would really mind if the Lost Queen, the girl who lost the right to
be the spirit princess, joined you.
Anyway, I told you all my secret.
What do you want to do?
I imagine you wouldn't really want a girl who can't use a contracted spirit in your team.
That doesn't matter.
You put your life on the line to protect us.
You're part of the team.
Yeah, Fianna. You're my comrade in arms.
You don't have any boobs, just like me!
You didn't have to go that far. I have more than you.
What was that?!
Another earthquake?
You think... has Jormungand almost awakened?
It looks that way.
But, as long as Jio Inzaghi hasn't found the true shrine,
he shouldn't be able to undo the seal.
The sealed documents stolen from the school...
The location of the true shrine might be recorded in those!
No, all military documents are in code.
Ellis, can you move now?
I can't walk yet.
Unfortunately, my legs are still paralyzed from the poison.
I haven't recovered enough to be able to fight again, either.
So, the four of us are the only ones that can move for now.
Fianna, can you do a spirit dance without being able to use a contracted spirit?
Don't worry.
I came here to reinforce the seal.
But, where is it?
Kamito, I know the position of the true altar.
You do, Est?
Before I was sealed inside the sword, I came here many times.
You mean you can lead us to the true altar?
Of course.
Good job, Est.
Right, Kamito.
Pat me on the head, then.
Sure.
Oh, Kamito.
That feels nice.
Wh-What?
You know, I've noticed that you're really sweet to Est.
Yeah.
Go, Kamito Kazehaya.
We failed in our mission.
We leave the rest to you.
It doesn't seem like I can continue in combat.
I'll tend to these girls.
Got it.
We'll be back as soon as we can.
Wasted the second one, you know?
You're too conceited, Jio Inzaghi.
Shut up.
This happened because your spirit didn't help at all.
I can feel it.
They're headed to the true altar that controls Jormungand.
Take me there, dark spirit.
I'm going to make him regret spitting on the name of the demon lord.
I wouldn't, if I were you.
He's the true demon lord.
You won't be able to beat him.
That's enough. I could make you mine, right here.
What a foolish boy.
What's wrong?
Does it hurt?
No, I'm fine.
I see...
I mean... we're partners—
actually, can't you just trust your master more?
Yeah?
Actually,
you've got no friends, so I don't think I should take you seriously.
Shut up!
I have friends!
Just Rinslet, right?
We're not there yet, Est?
We've been walking for a while.
The path seems to be a little different than before.
Also, you're annoying.
Don't get mad. I mean, Est was sealed a thousand years ago.
You're taking Est's side again, aren't you?
Ow!
It's right here, Kamito.
Right here?
An engraving of the Elemental Lord?
This is Ren Ashdoll, whose existence was erased from history.
Est, what did you just say?
The door...
Great work, Est.
Kamito, tell me I did a good job.
You did good, Est.
That feels good, Kamito.
You seriously baby Est!
Yeah.
You just need to do the resealing spirit dance here, right?
Yes, but before that I have to purify myself.
I want to take a bath, too.
I lost a lot of spirit power in that fight.
Um, what should I do?
You stand watch outside!
Hey, Fianna.
There's something I want to ask, but it's kind of embarrassing.
Wh-What is it?
Is it true that if the guy you like rubs your boobs, they get bigger?
Huh?
What?
It's not really that funny.
Yeah, but that question...
Someone asked me the same thing a long time ago.
Huh?
Don't worry.
Your boobs will get bigger as you grow older.
It pisses me off yours are already so big.
Take that.
What are you doing?!
I'm going to see if they really do get bigger if you rub them.
Why don't you use your own?
Take that! And that!
H-Hey, stop!
Stop!
Kamito, are you getting aroused listening to them?
Absolutely not.
Then, what are you...
Jio Inzaghi.
If my thinking's correct,
he's not a demon lord.
Of course.
You're the successor to the demon lord.
Huh? What do you mean?
You're the demon lord of the bedroom.
Est...
That's not right.
Looks like the time for trivialities is over.
You're rough on your spirits.
Sorry.
I'll get you a parfait or something later.
Now I'm excited.
Solemn queen of steel,
holy sword that destroys demons,
become my iron blade,
and give me power!
Hey, let's settle this,
Ren Ashbell.
Fianna, you wait here.
Don't count me out yet.
You don't need to spend all your time protecting me.
I'm an equal part of your team, now.
Right.
I'll protect you.
Dance the best dance you have.
Not even a little warm up first, huh?
How about we have a little chitchat?
Sorry, I'm not exactly a gentleman.
Same as you!
That's Ren Ashbell for you.
You've got some crazy moves.
The first move they teach you at the Institute...
You're the same as me...
That's correct.
The first success by humans conducting experiments to bring back the demon lord
was me.
Their first success?
A male elementaler that controls seventy-two spirits?
If that's your bar for success, then you haven't succeeded at all.
What was that?
You tricked me at first, too,
but no,
your spirits aren't contracted spirits at all.
They're sealed spirits.
The same one-time use ones that Fianna used with spirit stones.
You're a fake demon lord, Jio Inzaghi.
No, you're not even an elementaler.
What about it?
I'm the demon lord!
I'm going to kill you and prove it!
Appear before me, Barghest.
Claire's flame is much hotter.
Damn it...
Est?!
I told you that was your weakness!
You can't treat your spirits like tools...
That's why you're weak.
That princess was carrying something similar, wasn't she?
A blood stone...
This is the source of my power.
The power of Nebuchadnezzar that allows you to control many spirits.
A stone with a high level spirit sealed within it, huh?
You're nothing but a fake.
Some demon lord.
Shut it.
I'm going to make your sword spirit mine.
Did you know that sound in this mine echos quite a bit?
What?
Why do you think I went out of my way to explain what's going on?
What?
I think you're mistaken.
You're not fighting me.
You're fighting Team Scarlet!
Well done, Kamito.
I wouldn't expect any less from my slave spirit.
You know...
I have to thank you for opening the door to the true altar for me.
Yes,
it was so we could defeat you.
You will now witness the second imperial princess',
Fianna Ray Ordesia's ceremonial spirit dancing.
I shall perform Ceremonial Spirit Dance Number Seven, Feast of Madness.
Damn you...
What are you...
Your body is like a shrine to many different spirits.
And those spirits are reacting to Fianna's spirit dancing, and going out of control.
Take this!
Sorry, but out-of-control spirits aren't even a threat to me.
You're going to tell us everything you know about Jormungand.
Restia!
You're the dark spirit from before!
It's been a while, fire-cat girl.
Restia...
Was it you...
Was it you trying to release Jormungand?
That's right.
It's my mission to release the spirit resting here.
Why would you...
Because it is what she wishes.
"She"?
Kamito, you will meet her eventually,
but not right now.
You still haven't awakened.
Restia, I...
I still haven't lost...
Give up.
You can't win against him right now.
Shut up!
I'm going to be the successor to the demon lord.
I'm not going to lose here...
You're not the demon lord.
You're just a failure.
The successor to the demon lord is—
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Give me power!
I'll use you!
Just how foolish are you?
But, it might be fun to let you try.
If I can awaken you...
Restia...
Jio Inzaghi!
Die!
That's not going to hit anyone...
Oh, it will.
Kamito-kun!
Kamito!
No, Kamito-kun!
I don't want to lose someone twice...
I have to protect him this time...
I need to protect him... I love him...
Thou, the master swordsman knight which serves the King of Man,
I compel thee to follow our contract of blood,
become the sword that protects me,
and appear before me now!
Come forth, holy knight spirit, Georgios!
Become the sword that protects me!
In the name of the second crown princess of the Ordesia Empire, I command you.
Protect Kamito-kun.
Let's go, Est!
Appear before me, fire spirit!
I won't let you!
We're...
a team!
That's why we're going to keep getting stronger!
Stronger than when I was called Ren Ashbell...
Restia...
What are you...
Est, you again?
Fianna?
What are you doing?
Princess shrine maidens of the Divine Parliament know many ways to please spirits.
What are you...
It was a joke.
A special technique of the Parliament to give you some of my spirit power,
but in order to use it, we must be close to each other.
Don't think I was doing anything indecent.
I'm embarrassed doing this, myself.
Sorry. Thanks.
You don't have to push yourself, though.
We handed Jio over to the military,
and managed to reseal Jormungand.
Are you sure you don't have to head back to the Divine Parliament?
I can't head back now.
Also...
There's one more wish I want to come true.
What's that?
It's a secret.
Kamito!
What are you two doing?!
Wait!
You've got this wrong!
Got what wrong?
Scarlet!
Burn them up!
Georgios, kick her out. She's annoying.
Stop!

If you have a problem, it's only proper to settle it in a duel.
I'm not sure. This pear tart sounds pretty good.
An aphrodisiac?
What are you doing?!
Covenant of the Wind
I tried to make some chocolate, too.
