Queen's Blade: An Angel's Scolding + Backstories: Tarnyang & Sainyang and Yuit & Vante

(10-19 Update: Alicia and Zara's books are now up for preorder, go Grimoire go!)

Guess who found a second-hand copy of a tiny game long sold out everywhere?



Unlike the Tomoe and Risty game from a while ago, this one is fully-voiced, and you even have the translation of all the lines in its QB Wikia page, so feel free to tease the cheeky angel here: Mirrors/Sendspace

As for the backstories, both couples have trouble with invaders, what will they do?

Enjoy!

Tarnyang & Sainyang





Shai-Fang.
 This unexplored region isolated from the exterior by a steep mountain range that parted the clouds was the legendary paradise for the inhabitants of the Continent. A dreamlike Shangri-La that nested in a land of intense cold. There were some special twin sisters there.

“Sainyang, wake up!”

Tarnyang shook awake her younger sister, who would have continued sleeping forever if she left her alone. Unless her younger sister Sainyang woke up, Tarnyang couldn’t walk, either.
Because, the two of them had been connected with a collar as soon as they were born.

“Sainyang, the elders are calling! Get up now!”

When Tarnyang shouted once again in a loud voice, her younger sister finally began to sit up, rubbing her eyes.

“Yaawn~… hi, Tarnyang… what?”

When the couple left their home, the village of Shai-Fang was in an uproar.
The “Sacred Vessel” that protected the village had been taken away by someone.
If they didn’t have the “Sacred Vessel”, that paradise would be swallowed up by a snowstorm in the near future.

“Hey… Tarnyang. Surely the Sacred Vessel is in the outside world. What will we do…?”

What will we do, she was going to ask, but it was easy to predict what her older sister would say next. Sainyang could only sigh deeply.
Meeting people they didn’t know from lands they didn’t know, that was a source of depression for Sainyang.

“Righ~t! The time to leave for the outside world is finally here! Sainyang, pack your lunch! We’ll beat everyone who gets in our way with the Double Dragon Formation!”

When she looked at Tarnyang’s profile innocently pleased as she said so, Sainyang also felt like it could be fun somehow.

Sure enough, can Tarnyang and Sainyang regain the Sacred Vessel?
They won’t know that unless they fight.


Yuit & Vante



“Ga… kaga… gao-n!”

The gears creaked with a strange driving sound.
That was the sound emanating from the doll with a beautiful appearance.
With the size of a large human, it was a mechanical doll with the air of a beautiful elf woman dressed in servant-like clothes.

“Hn? What is it, Vante?”

A Little Elf girl addressed the doll.
Her eyes revealing intelligence, her expression became cuter as she moved them around.
Vante’s eyes shone red.
The doll didn’t have the ability to talk.
Instead, she conveys her will by emitting light from parts of her body and through driving sounds.
Though there’s no telling if that’s strictly her will…

“…Once again, it’s an intruder.”

Vante’s eyes shone. The girl took it as an affirmative light.

“Geez… While Mother is away, if I don’t protect this forest~”

The girl said as if disgusted.

“But, they must be quite skillful to escape without difficulty from the many traps I laid out.”

Her name was Yuit. Though young, she was a genius who had inherited the brain of her mother, the one nicknamed the “Great Alchemist”.
Besides her mother, there was no one who surpassed her in the use of alchemy.
The girl opened an oddly shaped tool attached to her sleeve, and took out a parchment.
Rustle, she wrote something down.

“Vante, can I rely on you?”
“Uo-n!”

Vante screamt to reply to her mistress’ voice.
She was the “Alchemy Steelwoman”.
Fighting with fists of steel, she was the child of the miracle of alchemy.

“I’m giving you an order in the name of Yuit, your mistress! Destroy the intruder!”

By writing an action in the scroll used as an operating device, Vante acts on the operator’s will.
She rushed as a gale.
In order to fulfill her mistress’ orders.

Sure enough, can Yuit and Vante defeat the unknown intruder?
They won’t know that unless they fight.
