Original subtitles

Are you the one who's been attacking travelers?

So what if I am?

I will defeat you!

Hmm?

You're going to defeat me?

How interesting.

I'll take you on!

Even if you hide your face, I know who you are.

You have the smell of the Bansu family.

Huh? You're not Claudette?

I am Leina!

The noble warrior, Leina!

That's strange... I could have sworn I picked up Claudette's scent.

Oh well. Lightning General Claudette wouldn't be at such a low level.

All I did was tear your clothes a bit, and you went like 'Kya!'

She completely recovered from that attack...

This demon is strong.

What is your goal?

Me? I only want to have fights with strong warriors.

I'm a participant in Queen's Blade.

Queen's Blade?

It's beginning.

The battle that occurs every four years to determine the new Queen.

Queen's Blade.

This is a ritual of the gods, used to decide the strongest and most beautiful queen.

The one who is worthy to be Queen...

This is something that won't be determined until they fight.

Oh no! I'm going to be late!

Well then, I'll have you answer my question.

Why do you, a Queen candidate, have the same smell as Claudette?

Claudette and Leina, huh?

Leina, Leina... Where have I heard that name?

Ah!

The Bansu family's daughter, Leina Bansu.

She's Claudette's little sister?

Things are getting interesting!

I will cut you down here!

Futile!

It's going to gradually melt away!

'Kya!' Hehehe... Yelling 'kya' like that... how cute!

You really are a weakling, aren't you?

What should I do?

At this rate, I'm done for.

You monster!

Huh?

What did you just say?

You just called me a monster, didn't you?

A monster...

You know, not a single person has lived after calling me that.

I'm going to kill you.

I'm not the type of woman who cares about things like morals.

Bye bye, Leina.

Just who are you?

I am Risty,

the chivalrous thief of the wilderness.

I'll remember this, Risty.

I'll deal with that weakling over there later.

Late! Late! I'm late!

I am the Angel of Glory, Nanael, here to introduce the participants of Queen's Blade.

I will explain everything you need to know!

Open the door that leads to the ordeals!

Huh?

That vulgar monster is a subordinate of the Witch of the Swamplands, a demon known as Marona.

She's an opponent a young girl like yourself can't handle.

Witch of the Swamplands?

People who don't know their own strength compared to others are nothing but fools.

Remember that.

That's mine! Give it back!

You've got it wrong.

You are my spoil of war.

In other words, these are mine now.

You thief.

I'm going to say it now, so listen to me carefully, young lady.

The victorious will obtain everything. That is the continental law.

I am the chivalrous thief of the wasteland, Risty.

Remember this well...

Leina, fugitive daughter of count Bansu.

Eh?

We finally made it.

After this, we're off to the castle of the great family, count Bansu.

In order words, your home.

Let me go.

I have no intention of returning there.

Can I ask you something?

Why did they put a 300 gold coin bounty on your head?

I don't know, and I don't want to know.

Well, it isn't normal for parents to put a bounty on their children.

You have my sympathy.

Then let me go!

That's something I can't do.

What an extravagant bridge. Even though the people are starving...

Truly a good example of misgovernment.

You should tell the count about this.

Well then, how about you give me a nice reward?

I've brought the fugitive wanted by the Bansu family.

She's just a little rattled.

Leina, where did you go?

You usually go to places where I can find you quickly...

Elina doesn't like this at all.

Oh, I see!

Leina doesn't like parties, right?

Elina hates it when Leina has those perverted mens' eyes on her!

Leina is for Elina alone!

What is it?

Leina-sama has returned.

What? Is that true?

Leina!

Elina!

I'm sorry, Elina couldn't find you anywhere.

I had no intention of re-

Even so, you're all messed up, Leina.

Just look at you...

Even though Elina is the only one fit to touch you...

Look at how battered you are!

I am not battered at all!

You know, Elina... Elina did nothing but worry about what might happen to you...

Save it for later, and give me my reward already!

Silence, monkey.

What was that?

Learn your place in society.

Hurray! It looks like the battle hasn't started yet!

Since observing the Queen's Blade is a job only an angel can do,

it would be a great shame if I failed.

Umm, over there is the chivalrous thief of the wasteland, Risty.

And the other is... youngest daughter and Chief of Bansu family's Imperial Guard, Elina.

It's a good thing I arrived before the battle. This is going to be good!

I don't hand money over to monkeys.

I don't tolerate bad manners.

Get out of here.

Oh? So this is how it's going to be?

How about we make a wager on your life, then? How does 3,000 gold coins sound?

You dare threaten the Bansu family?

It seems you don't value your life!

Yes! Now!

Elina, pay her.

Do you want to hurt the count's reputation?

Please forgive me, Claudette.

Oh... So this is the Lightning General, Claudette.

That makes things simple.

What is it? Let me go.

I keep my promises, but you are a wanted thief.

What was that?

What a horrible turn of events...

I could use some improvement.

You don't need to feed her.

Tomorrow, I'll investigate you and what happened to my sister thoroughly.

I'll make sure you regret this.

How about giving me some food?

Silence, monkey!

This has been fun.

You fool. Consider your position.

You're a future countess, after all.

I have no desire to become the countess.

Isn't my sister more suited for the position?

Besides that...

The future countess has already been decided.

I will decide for myself what I want to be.

Give it up!

You are going to attend the party tonight.

Make sure to prepare for it properly.

I can see you over there, Elina.

Everyone just does what they want...

No one understands my feelings.

Leina!

Don't be so sulky!

That's right.

We were both scolded.

Found you, Leina.

You're tired, right?

I'll give you a massage.

I'm fine without one.

Then let me comb your hair.

You have to do that regularly, right?

Leina, running away won't change anything, you know.

We'll just bring you back again.

You have a responsibility to your title.

You should get married. Putting your family at ease is the best solution.

Those are all things I don't wish for.

Of course, I don't want to see all those men flirting with you either.

The man that marries you will be my opponent, and I will make it his biggest regret.

He won't lay one finger on you.

That's why I want you to be by Elina's side forever.

Elina...

Ah! Your hair is burned!

This must be that monkey's doing!

Are you talking about Risty?

You're wrong, that came from a fight with a demon.

A demon, you say? Eh?

If she hadn't been there, the situation would have been much worse.

I'm sure of it...

You shouldn't worry about things like that, because I'll protect you, Leina.

Ah~, I wanted to sleep with her...

Guards, don't let a single person in.

I've returned here once again.

If I had managed to get past those mountains, I would have been free.

I wanted to go....

Daddy! Leina... Leina wants to be strong, like Mommy!

A dream?

That monster was strong.

If Risty hadn't come when she did...

People who don't know their own strength compared to others are nothing but fools.

Remember that.

How did Risty defeat Melona?

Where was her weak point?

If she had not interfered at that time...

No. I can't just avoid this...

Just what should I do?

Well then, how about we start our own party?

What a catch!

This is...

Ehh?

The thief!

That monkey! To think that she managed to escape...

I'll teach her a lesson!

Inform all the troops!

Yes, ma'am!

Eh? This is a bit dangerous!

It's the thief!

Capture her!

Risty?

Shh!

Risty, you...

Sh!

Sorry for my intrusion.

Claudette.

What is it?

The thief has escaped, and is somewhere in the castle.

The army will be guarding you instead of Chief Elina.

That isn't necessary.

There isn't any danger to me here.

I don't need any of the count's troops.

This is an order from the count himself.

From Father?

Leina, are you alright?

Claudette, why are you here?

I've been ordered to fulfill your duty.

We will have this situation taken care of very soon.

I'm returning to my post.

She must have noticed me.

Everything is fine as long as you're safe, Leina.

Be careful not to wander out of here, okay?

Incredible!

In that moment, when I felt my sister's blood lust,

I was unable to move.

I'll give this to you.

What is this?

A reward for saving me just now.

You weren't wearing any armor while you were fighting that demon.

This is... our house's heirloom.

You really are a thief!

You're mistaken. I'm not a thief.

I'm Risty, the chivalrous thief of the wasteland.

Strengthen your guard. Don't let her escape!

It seems I won't be getting out of here that easily!

Why won't you just let me go?

Don't fool yourself, thief.

I will crush you.

I'm a chivalrous thief, and yet...

Well, if that's the way you want it, let's settle this!

A thief like you is not even worthy to be my opponent.

I'll show you your place.

We'll see about that! You never know until you try.

Those who are strong can obtain everything! This is continental law!

Try this on for size!

The harbor... Shit!

Mother, please give me this longsword and armor.

From this point onwards, I will become strong!

The strong will obtain everything.

Where do you think you're going, Leina?

I wouldn't want you to leave me behind!

You will pay for insulting the count's family. Let's settle this.

Isn't this going too far, Lightning General?

I told you, didn't I?

Not a single person has called me a monster and lived.

So, as promised, I've come here to kill you.

Leina!

What is this?

You have nowhere left to run. Are you ready to fight yet?

You're not even on your feet.

Look, "No~, it's embarrassing!"

Ah, you've wet yourself!

Eh?

Too bad. You can't run anymore.

Damn. I have no choice but to abandon all my loot...

They're going to be disappointed.

Prepare yourself!

Oh shi-

Wait, thief!

As if I'd do that!

Elina? No, Leina?

You'll die if you fall, Leina!

Make this fun for me!

Just five more steps.

Four steps.

Monster! I will defeat you, and move forward!

You dare call me a monster again?

Three steps.

Two steps.

One step.

Come, monster!

Unforgivable!

I will completely dissolve you!

Now!

What? You figured it out?

You won't know what happens until you fight, right?

It's painful!

It burns like the sun!

Leina!

Not bad, Leina.

Yo! You alright?

Risty...

Probably.

I see. Thanks to the armor I gave you.

I guess so.

Well then, what do you intend to do?

I intend to continue my journey.

Then this is my reward.

I'll be taking it.

Ah. That's my...

While fighting Claudette I had to abandon almost all my loot.

This much is fine, right?

No way! Wait!

Give that back!

Thief!

Like I said...

What? How could this have happened?

Even though I was supposed to begin the first round of Queen's Blade!
