Well done.
Those toned muscles really help bring out the flavor...
Don't mind if I do!
Here I go!
Rejected!
You never said anything about this!
She smells just like you.
What do you mean?
Just like you, she has underworld blood running through her.
What?
Underworld blood...
Queen's Blade
Episode 11 「Wavering Spirit」
You're looking for the main competitors
in the last Queen's Blade, right?
My superior had me look for them all of a sudden...
Sorry for bugging you so early in the morning.
Not at all.
You're always up early when you work for a newspaper.
Let's see...
Warrior Priestess Tomoe is in the far away Land of the Rising Sun,
There's a rumor that the Bandit of the Wilderness, Risty,
tried to start a rebellion but got captured by the Queen's army,
and the Wandering Warrior Leina continues to wander around.
I see...
The only one we really know about is Queen Claudette!
You might be an angel, but I feel like we're kindred spirits.
Huh?
My superior is pretty selfish, too.
Even though she's a little elf who's younger than me,
she's always like, "Those who control information
have to work four times harder than a normal person!"
Or, "I'm docking your pay if you fall asleep!"
She's always saying stuff like that!
I mean I...
This guy... won't be of any help.
I was thinking of having you meet my cousin,
but she's out at the moment.
She took my prototype along with her, too...
But if what you're saying is true,
then this is all her doing...
What is it?
Are you sleeping?
And here I thought we could spend some time catching up.
Simply amazing.
Ymir-nee, this girl was spying on you.
You...
Why are you wearing my Hyper Vibration Armor?
Huh?
Do it!
Kill her!
It tingles so much...
Come on...
Put some thought into how you're fighting.
How long do you plan on keeping this up?
Let the demon consume you, Annelotte!
Underworld blood...
Why does that run through my veins?
Are you...
...really after my husband?
What are you talking about?
I just wish to ask the Queen of her true intent.
I want to know what type of world she is trying to create,
what she plans to do with its people.
Really?
You're not going to make a harem?
Harem?
Ridiculous. I have no interest in anything of the sort.
If Queen Claudette is in the wrong,
then we must fight!
That's right! Give in to your demonic impulses!
Are you...
It can't be...
I can't hold back this urge...
I'm sorry, my little sisters.
I...
I'll teach you how you can deal with the underworld.
And your body shall obey your heart.
What are you doing?!
Miss!
Um...
Thank you, but...why?!
I'm not sure...
I felt like I was about to remember something important
while I was fighting you.
When that happened, I couldn't hold back my tears.
What are you doing?!
My apologies, Ymir-chan.
But she isn't some demon trying to steal
my husband away from me.
Belphe-san, Dogor-san,
let's go.
We need to go back and start making dinner!
Miss!
How can she control the demon inside her?
Iron Strategist! You're next!
Wait!
Tarnyang...
She's too tough...
Y-You monster...
Something seems to be happening at the castle.
No matter where you hide,
I will drive you out with this holy fire!
Why are you trying so hard to attack me?
Because in addition to being heretics,
you have destroyed and desecrated the holy altar!
That wasn't our fault!
Someone is warping space and...
I suppose this is yet another verdict put forth by God.
Excuse me.
Is the Land of the Rising Sun in this direction?
Huh?
I... just can't believe that.
Give it a rest for a bit, would you?
That's why I said if we wait here in her room,
you'll see what I mean!
But, Ymir-nee,
I just can't fathom there being another one of you around.
Yeah...
Someone took your armor and made it even stronger, though.
Just stay quiet and watch.
You'll understand I'm telling the truth.
The Iron Strategist disappeared into thin air!
This way?
I'll dance atop your strong body.
Come on! Finish this up already!
This feeling...
I think I could get used to this!
I wondered who that was. One of my guinea pigs, huh?
Y-Ymir-san...
You're not really Ymir-san, are you?
What are you talking about?
I don't understand.
How about if the real Ymir-nee shows herself?
Does that make it any easier to follow?
T-There's something I want to know!
I'm all ready now.
The Hyper Vibration Armor!
Give that back!
That's supposed to be for me!
That makes sense. It's kind of tight in the chest.
I won't let you get away!
Why do you keep fighting?
I won't hesitate if it's for Onee-sama.
I'll do whatever I can.
I've heard someone say something like that before.
I'm just repeating what Annelotte-neesama said...
I see...
That Princess-Knight, huh?
All right!
Take her to the queen like the Iron Strategist ordered!
So, you're all cocky now because you've learned
how to use a sword a little.
Why...
Why didn't you send my mom the letters or money you promised?!
You were a guinea pig for the Hyper Vibration Armor.
Nothing more than a frame for the armor.
A doll that has no other purpose than to wear that armor.
It would've been weirder if I'd done what I said.
Even a doll...
...has a heart!
I wonder who that fake Ymir-nee is...
I have an idea,
but that Mirim girl is a pretty strong warrior!
Hmm... I see.
So that's it.
It's not just that you're with the wizard stones.
That's why when I had soldiers wear the armor,
they didn't do as well as you did.
I guess it's about time I get serious.
Here it comes!
Here I go!
I can't enjoy this if you just run away!
I can't get enough of this feeling.
Here's your reward for everything you've done!
My Hyper Vibration Sword is going to make you come!
What the hell?!
Y-You can't be...
The armor and sword have increased their output!
Your equipment's on equal footing now!
Mirim, you can fight fairly now!
The output increased so the vibrations are even stronger...
She's just as strong as I am?
Now it's just a battle of
who can endure the hyper vibrations longer!
That's pretty rough, Ymir-nee...
No... I'm sorry...
It was so fun
and I was able to get away with a lot,
so I was planning on staying in the form of that stupid dwarf, but...
I knew it...
It's the Swamp Witch's minion, Melona.
W-Who are you?
This is wonderful...
Even I can't take it anymore.
I won?
She ran away!
This is great.
Vante, hold on for a little bit longer.
This is our one chance...
If I change the directionality of the force field...
T-That was great.
No matter what I do, we win.
I've already expanded the swamps enough with magic.
Just a little bit longer
until I make this continent a more interesting place!
The reason why things are happening all over the castle is
because of Annelotte?
Thank you...
Sorry about that.
Looks like you finally woke up.
Where are we heading?
We're going to tell the Queen what's been going on.
You're an exceptional warrior.
I'm already out of breath.
I know. Eilin's pretty strong, too.
I guess so.
Although, dwarves may look young,
but I'm actually older than your mother.
Huh?
I passed the half-century mark a long time ago!
What?!
The blood of the underworld has awoken within me.
It's granted me demonic strength, but I still don't understand it.
The only thing I'm sure of is all of my friends that support me.
Next time: "Bonds of the Rebellion."
Episode 12 「Bonds of the Rebellion」
Little sisters, I swear on this sword!
I will defeat the Thundercloud Queen,
and bring peace to the continent!
