Kamito Kazehaya!
Sorry for making you wait.
It's fine.
Were you in the academic city not too long ago?
You saw me?
I was doing some shopping.
Guess it doesn't matter.
Anyway, let's head to the library if you want to study.
Wait!
Hm?
My room.
Room?
I... want to study in my room.
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Episode 10
Sylphid
This is my room.
It's my first time letting a guy in here, of course.
That kind of makes me nervous.
Have a seat.
I'm going to get ready.
Ready?
Ready.
R-Right.
She's got pretty girly tastes, surprisingly.
Hm?
I can't let Ellis find out about this...
I'd feel bad for destroying her dream.
I've seen her before...
Sorry for the wait.
What are you...?
I'm your maid now.
Understand?
Don't stare so much, it's embarrassing!
I guess this doesn't suit me after all.
No...
That's not it!
But, why are you wearing a maid outfit?
This is my way of making it up to you.
I was thinking this whole week about
how Sylphid could repay you for everything you've done.
According to what I've heard from my friends in the Order,
men get excited over maid outfits.
Why did they have to...
Ellis, don't get me wrong, but
I'm not one of those men who obsess over maid outfits.
What?!
You're saying you want me to wear something even more perverted?!
Y-You lewd beast!
Everyone's using that now, aren't they?
I'm not going to let you make me do something so dirty!
I love maid outfits!
Maid outfits are awesome!
That's right.
Now tell me what you want me to do.
Then... What are you good at?
Just one thing.
I use a sword, but my specialty is the lance.
What kind of maid are you?
Can you do anything that's not as dangerous?
I'm decent at cooking, I suppose.
Now eat up, Master.
Don't call me that, please.
I heard that's what I'm supposed to call you, though.
They're messing with you, you know.
This is good.
There's nothing wrong with it.
That's it?
I'm giving you a compliment.
It's hard to to make something normal like this well.
You'd make a good wife.
Wh-What are you saying?!
What are you trying to do?
Open your mouth!
Hey...
Don't dodge!
I'm going to feed you!
Why?!
Because I heard that's what a maid does!
Now open up!
How is it?
Good.
That's good.
Here's one more.
You like it?
Yeah, it's good.
I'm glad I was able to repay you.
It's probably the last time I'll be able to invite you to my room, too.
What do you mean?
My roommate will be coming back from her school mission.
I'm sure she wouldn't let you live if she saw you there.
Is she that scary?
Velsaria Eva Fahrengart.
She's my older sister by two years.
She's also the former leader of Sylphid.
Velsaria...
A knight of the Fahrengart Dukery,
the strongest elementaler at the school,
who goes by the alias of "The Silent Fortress."
So, she's your sister...
We're not actually related, though.
She was being trained as a Numbers candidate,
but when she entered the Blade Dance three years ago,
she lost to Ren Ashbell in the first match,
so that didn't happen.
That was when...
She embodied what I thought it meant to be a knight,
but now, she...
Would you join Sylphid?
We lost seven members in the last incident.
It can just be until they recover.
Of course, I wouldn't be asking you to do it for nothing.
We'd compensate you appropriately.
Why me?
Aren't there girls who'd join if you advertised the position?
I don't know.
A lot of people don't trust the knights anymore.
Many people were injured and we weren't even able to capture the assailant.
I'm scared, honestly.
I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing as a knight.
Am I just using my authority as a shield and forcefully holding things into place?
She's still only a sixteen-year-old girl...
Sure.
Are you sure?
Really?
Yeah.
I thank you, Kamito Kazehaya.
Raise your head, Ellis.
How about...
Let's see. I'd like to ask one thing of you.
What is it?
You said you'd compensate me.
Could you do that in advance?
You making chocolate again?
What the hell?!
Where were you?
I'll make food now.
That's not the problem!
Hm?
You're my slave spirit,
so you can't go wandering around without my permission!
Am I a dog?
I was at Ellis'.
She treated me to some food.
She wanted to thank me for saving her the other day.
She's pretty thoughtful.
O-Oh... Food...
I helped save her, too, and she only invited you?
You got those macarons from Sylphid, didn't you?
You ate them all, too.
That's not the problem here!
Why were you at Ellis' place?
Did you go into her room?!
Yeah. It wasn't messy at all.
You should learn from her.
I-I can't believe you!
Claire?
I bet Ellis drew you in with her boobs or something,
and you're some grunt for Sylphid now.
Boobs...
Well, she did invite me to join Sylphid.
What?
Sounds like they're short-handed.
She wanted me to help out.
You turned her down, of course?
You turned her down, right?
I owe Ellis a lot...
I'm sorry I made up my mind without asking you,
but I don't think there's really a problem here.
I know you're not on the best of terms with Sylphid,
but that's because you're always causing trouble.
I see...
You're going to take Ellis' side again...
No, that's not really what I'm doing.
You promised me...
You said you'd be my contracted spirit.
You promised...
I...
I don't care.
I don't need you.
Get out.
Claire...
Get out!
I hate you!
I hate him... I hate him...
I hate him so much.
I'm so stupid.
Scarlet...
I'm a horrible girl.
I'm her contracted spirit.
Kamito said he'd be my contracted spirit.
We kissed, too.
Maybe he just felt bad for me because I'm the sister of the Calamity Queen.
Kamito?!
Hm?
Did you have a fight with Kamito-kun again?
Go away.
You're such a kid, you know?
I told you to leave me alone!
How about you be more honest with yourself?
Well, sorry. I know my boobs are small, too.
Onii-chan, wake up. Onii-chan.
You're finally awake, Onii-chan?
Est?!
You weren't sleeping in Claire's room?
I slept by you and kept you warm to make sure you didn't freeze to death.
You're kidding, right?
Did my thighs feel nice, Onii-chan?
Why do you keep calling me "Onii-chan," anyway?
Well, I tried calling you different things to wake you up,
but they didn't work, so I tried "Onii-chan," instead.
Don't call me that.
Right, Onii-chan.
Are you upset?
I'm your contracted spirit.
Please, promise me, Kamito.
Promise you won't just leave me like that again.
School is out today,
and many students are expected to head into town due to the Festival of Valentia.
I want everyone to perform their duties,
ensuring that duels do not begin among the common public.
Right!
She's so stuck up.
The merchants trying to sell cursed seals to students may also be hiding in the city.
Does she think that everyone's going to just listen to her
if she stands up there and talks like that?
Do you know the guy that works at the florist in the third district?
They may attempt to contact the students.
He's got such cute eyes!
If you see this happening, please act according to your assessment of the situation.
I see.
That's why Ellis is having such a hard time.
Also, I'd like to introduce a new member.
We have Kamito Kazehaya from the Raven class joining us today.
As you can see...
It seems you've lost a lot of pawns while I was gone.
Sister...
Velsaria...
What was that?
I said, you've lost a lot of pawns.
You're going to call members of Sylphid "pawns"?!
Pawns are pawns.
And yours are the useless, disposable type.
You couldn't even stop a single assailant,
and on top of that, you were completely defeated.
I don't care what you say about me,
but I would ask that you refrain from insulting them.
I am a knight of Fahrengart.
I will not take back anything I have said.
You—
Or will you use force to stop me,
Knight Leader?
It was a mistake to leave the knights to you.
Wait.
You're the guy who transferred in on Lady Greyworth's recommendation?
What about it?
I'd like to see just how good you are.
There's surprisingly a lot of you left.
You and you, and you two over there.
You're now on my team.
You can't just do that!
It's an honor.
Please let me be on your team.
Me, too.
M-Me, too!
It'll be an honor to join you.
How about you?
I refuse.
I'm on the fire-cat's team.
That should be fine.
If you won't become my pawn, I'll just destroy you.
We need to get going, too.
Huh?
Our mission.
We have to protect the students.
Now, let's get everyone on their feet.
R-Right.
Getting rid of monsters and stopping disputes.
The knights have a lot of work to do.
Today's kind of special.
Also, it hurts that we have upperclassmen that left us.
That wasn't your fault, Ellis.
I'm sure they were tired of me not having
any actual power to do anything.
Sylphid used to be a strong organization.
Anyone who opposed us, even just a little,
would be punished immediately,
and problem students were corrected without mercy.
We kept it safe,
but my sister's ways caused the proud, noble-born students to rebel.
She was thrown out of the knight leader position.
My sister used to be a great knight.
She was cold and strict,
but she didn't strike down everything with her power.
But now she's no longer the knight I'm trying to be.
I see.
I'm pretty hungry, myself.
Let's get some lunch.
I'll buy you something.
Wait!
I actually made food.
You think of everything.
I'll get something for myself, then.
T-There's some for you.
Hm?
I made some for you, too!
This is great!
They're cut into rabbits!
The wieners are octopuses!
Why are you guys here?
No fair!
You're keeping Kamito-kun all to yourself!
You're misusing your power!
You're such a pervert.
No!
You were afraid of Kamito this morning, why all this now?!
Stare...
You can have some.
I want you to feed me.
Guess I have to.
Here you are.
Est is cute.
You want another one?
Here you go.
I want to give her food, too!
Eat up!
She's so cute.
Let me try!
They're feeding her like an animal.
It's nice,
having humans worship me like this.
This is good.
I thought the flavors might have been a little too strong.
She turned back.
She is cut off from Astral Zero.
She won't wake up for a little while now.
Hm?
Scarlet!
Kamito!
What is she doing?
Where did Scarlet go?
And a certain someone isn't coming back...
Scarlet?
Scarlet, you...
Claire!
Kamito!
What do you want?
What are you doing here?
It's not like I was looking for you.
Yeah, I realize that.
No, you don't!
It's just going to be the same as yesterday...
It's fine. I just happened to have time right now.
You do?
Yeah, I do!
S-So...
Um...
Treat me to some cake at a cafe, or something.
And then I just might forgive you for yesterday...
Sorry, I'm doing security in the academic city with Ellis right now.
Why?
It's part of the job for Sylphid.
I finally got a chance to rest, so we're all eating lunch in the park over there.
Would you like to eat with us?
They're normal girls if you try talking to them.
What are you saying?
Maybe you could get along with them if you have some food with them?
What are you saying?!
I don't want to get along with them!
I don't care if they're elites or not!
They kept insulting my sister!
That was Sylphid a long time ago, right?
Ellis isn't like—
Why do you keep talking about Ellis?!
You're my contracted spirit!
Mine...
Mine alone—
That's enough.
Ellis.
I'm sorry, Kamito.
I was wondering what was going on, so I followed you.
No, I'm sorry for leaving all of a sudden.
Don't worry about it.
Fine!
I don't care anymore! Jerk!
Hey, Claire!
I hate you.
Go have fun with Ellis, or whatever.
Claire...
I don't care...
I was always alone...
I don't care anymore.
Claire Rouge...
She's alone for now, isn't she?
The teachers won't be watching over here, either.
Would you like an even more wonderful power?
Huh?
A power strong enough that fire-cat girl of yours won't even be a problem.
You weren't even looking at me back then...
It aches...
But it should ache.
Otherwise, there'd be no point!
Ren Ashbell...
Preview
Ellis!
You might not say so, but
you really want me to give you a great time, don't you?
You're so dumb.
I'm going to destroy that fortress girl.
The Night of Valentia
I'm going to make you take responsibility for being my first.
