Wanted posters, huh...
Let's see...
"If you see these people,
report to the castle immediately."
That's what it says.
Ruffians challenging the Queen, eh?
I don't wanna say this out loud,
but I bet tons of people are secretly supporting them.
There are people for and against the Queen.
It's not too big in Gainos yet,
but in the outskirts, unrest is growing.
Jeez, are we ever going to have peace in our time?
We've put up the notices all across the continent.
They shouldn't be able to move around very freely much longer.
What are you talking about?
It's your fault that everything turned out this way.
Iron Strategist? Yeah, right.
I've received word that beautiful warriors
have begun to make their moves all across the continent.
There seems to be an annoying ape moving around in the east.
What are you going to do about that?
You do something about it.
Huh?
That's a job for the Fang Assassins.
Make sure you take care of it.
Who'd listen to you?!
Onee-sama...
The Strategist's will is my will.
Take out the beautiful warriors, Elina.
Y-Yes ma'am!
Her eyes...
The way she said that...
Ever since Onee-sama became the Queen...
I'm getting chills!
We first need to get her back...
In order to fight the Kreutz girl,
we need the best warrior for the job.
Queen's Blade
Episode 8 「The Tempted Young Wife」
Oh... I'll hang these up in my room.
I did it again.
There we go.
Oh, yeah!
I need to go shopping for dinner
before my husband comes back.
Hi there!
Hey, take a look over here!
We've got low prices.
Good afternoon, mister.
Oh, welcome.
What would you like today?
Let's see... I'd like some fish.
Oh, I've got some nice stuff in.
Take a look.
Wow! It's fresh!
I'm going to dry it, so could you open it for me!
Huh?
And then she...
Oh, there she is.
She looks like she's doing well.
I wasn't sure what was going to happen to her
when she wandered in here after losing her memories.
But then she met someone nice,
and now she looks really happy.
I'm glad for her.
Oh, these are cute!
I wonder if my husband would like these.
"It's the duty of a young wife
to pay attention to her husband's health and, at times,
tend to him like a mother would."
I see.
I pray my husband will stay healthy.
You're quite dedicated.
Oh, Inquisitor!
How is your memory?
I... still don't really remember anything.
But my husband always
tells me I should take my time remembering.
God doesn't always give trials.
That smile of yours is
something precious that God has given you.
I actually did remember one thing, Inquisitor.
What was it?
I was searching for my sister,
but I can't remember her name...
The only thing I remember is that I was looking for her.
That doesn't really help...
No.
Those who believe in God will never be abandoned.
I'm sure you'll see your sister again.
After all, you have a wonderful husband there to help you.
You're right.
Dinner will be fish, salad, and pot-baked bread.
Also...
It's been a while.
Um... Who might you be?
An old friend.
You look like you're doing well, Aldra.
That's enough.
It's just not possible.
As long as that armor isn't functioning,
it doesn't make sense for you to fight.
But...
It's true that you have a good sword...
I know, right?!
I can help you, right Onee-sama?
That doesn't matter.
That's right. Mirim can't handle it.
Lunaluna-san!
Without your vibrating sword and armor,
you're just a normal country girl.
You told me you were from the countryside, too!
Not the country, the middle of nowhere.
Call it unexplored!
Basically, I'm the only one who can help her.
Lunaluna!
I won't let go, Nee-nee.
I guess I can't do anything unless this works...
Well, I can refer to the records from the copies I made
and try to make it usable again, but...
Really, Yuit-chan?!
But...
I wouldn't count on it work—
Thank you, Yuit-chan!
Um...
I'm sitting next to Onii-chan today no matter what!
I want to sit next to Onee-sama, too!
Well, hurry up and pick, you two.
I obviously always have a seat next to her.
Why just you?! I gave up my seat yesterday!
That was yesterday.
We're talking about today here.
You piss me off! You piss me off so much!
Wait a second!
We made the food,
so we should have the right to sit next to Aneja!
No!
They all said no...
It's the same no matter where we eat...
The food's going to get cold.
No, Onii-chan.
This is actually quite a serious problem.
If I can sit next to you, I'll be able to work harder tomorrow!
It's not that big of a deal...
Yes, it is!
They're all agreeing again.
Come to think of it,
they finally posted notices about you, Onee-sama...
Yeah, rather late at that.
It just means that the Queen couldn't ignore you any longer.
You're one step closer.
I think she would have preferred that the Queen ignored her.
Those notices are a double-edged sword.
If they succeed, they can once again demonstrate
the power of the Queen to everyone across the continent.
They can quell all of the minor rebellions
happening across the land at once.
I see...
And if they fail...
That's why I think Ymir must have some sort of plan.
We have to stay vigilant.
The Queen's kind of annoying.
Everyone would be happy if you became Queen, Nee-nee.
M-Me?
Yeah!
Lunaluna-san has some good ideas sometimes.
Not sometimes. All the time.
I think I could accept it if Aneja became the Queen.
Like you'd have a choice.
Queen Annelotte, huh?
I like the sound of that!
W-Wait!
Ruling over people isn't in my nature!
I'm only a knight!
What are you talking about?
We're all from different places, raised differently,
but we've all decided to follow you,
and now we're here with you.
But...
I think you're the only one
who could have brought us together like this.
I'm going to get some fresh air.
Give me some time alone to think.
Sure.
But I'm sure there's only one thing you can do.
Nee-nee is so cute when she's worrying about stuff!
Anyway...
I'm the one sleeping next to Aneja tonight!
Surely you must be joking.
Obviously I get to sleep next to her!
Absolutely not! Obviously, it should be me!
How is that obvious at all?
Vante-san uses saunas, too?
I brought everyone together...
I never even thought about that.
I was so focused, not thinking about anything else,
and just did what I saw before me.
I can't stand over people and command them...
I'm glad that Yuit and the others trust me,
but I can't...
I can't become the queen.
It's true that that would be the most certain way
to bring peace to the continent.
Could I really lead everyone?
It's about time to go.
You want me to be a member of the Queen's army?
But why me?
As you can see, I'm just a simple housewife.
You have great potential as a summoner.
I know you don't have any memories,
but all you have to do is follow what's written here.
Could you try it for me?
But...
The head of the rebellion is gathering more members,
and some of my soldiers have been lured to her side.
I wonder if they'll seduce your husband, as well.
My husband?!
I'll tell you the details later.
But first, you need to awaken your power.
I'm sorry, God.
I shall be going against you for a short time
in order to protect my husband.
When the two moons separate, the door will open.
Beautiful, noble, proud demons,
answer my call.
Come forth from the underworld with great power
and enter this world.
Hi there, thanks for summoning me.
My name is Belphe.
It's a pleasure meeting you.
My name is Dogor.
Wow!
I really was able to summon them!
Nice to meet you.
I'm Al.
You're great... really great...
Totally, right?
I'm glad we were summoned by such a great wife here.
And you've got quite the delicious-looking body there.
Do... you think we could...
Let us eat you!
The book was right.
This is the best way to make your summons listen to you.
You're pretty good...
That was great.
Anyway, Belphe-san. Dogor-san.
Help me out for a little while, so I can help my husband.
Roger that...
Understood.
W-Where am I?
Where did Aneja go to get some air?
She never came back, did she?
Sometimes she worries too much...
Who's the one who said she should become Queen?
It wasn't me!
It was the white one.
They're the same.
Anyway, let's split up and search for her.
Right.
Find anything?
I don't see her.
I don't smell her either.
Anyway, why am I stuck with you again?
I'm not into little kids.
They put posters up.
It's dangerous to work alone.
Also...
I like you, Lunaluna-san.
Anyway, we need to get back to searching.
Right!
Lunaluna-san, what do you like about Onee-sama?
What do you mean?
I like a lot of things about her.
I like the way she looks, her body, her face...
That's it?
She was captured in our village.
And when I was sleeping she escaped, and...
And?
And she came back because she learned
that I was going to be punished.
She's really a strange one, isn't she?
Yeah, that's how she is.
She's always straightforward,
and tries her hardest with whatever she has in front of her.
She never overlooks anything.
Being thrice indebted is stronger than parental bonds.
It's important to follow Shai-Fang traditions.
Hey, Tarnyang, if you didn't owe her anything,
what would you have done?
What do you mean?
Do you think we would have decided to follow Nee-san anyway?
Come on, Sainyang!
We need to hurry up and find Aneja before Yuit and Mirim do!
She'll come back.
I'm sure Onii-chan will come back.
It's our destiny, after all.
I'm sorry, dear.
I'll be gone for a little while.
I can't tell you why, but I promise I'll be back.
We'll be leaving soon, Belphe-san, Dogor-san.
Huh?
Oh no...
If they get too far away...
We finally came to this world,
so we need to have some fun!
We don't need that terrible food
when we can eat as many humans as we want.
I want to eat a beautiful warrior.
A strong, beautiful warrior!
That sounds good!
I agree!
And then, when we come back,
we'll take our time with the wife.
That would be great!
It seems like Elina's taking out the beautiful warriors just as planned.
Aldra will be here shortly.
There's only one pawn left that we need.
Bring me Inquisitor Sigui.
I'm just your normal newlywed
that looks good in an apron, that you could find anywhere,
but I've summoned some scary demons!
Now bring it on!
I'll give it my all to protect my husband!
Next time: "A Samurai Arrives!"
Episode 9 「A Samurai Arrives」
Oh no! Belphe-san and Dogor-san have disappeared.
Samurai-san from the Land of the Rising Sun,
have you seen them?
