Yuit and
Vante
“So you’re
really leaving.”
Yuit nodded
greatly when Annelotte spoke.
“I finished
all I could. After this, big bro only has to do her best.”
Fate had
made them both lead the Rebel Army, she as a strategist. Yuit had also lent a
hand with the method towards recovery. Yuit’s wit and Vante’s strength played a
big role in getting the dispersed citizens to return, restoring the buildings,
securing drinking water by means of establishing a water supply, maintaining
the highway and recultivating the farmland.
From there,
it was the turn of the lawful owner of the Margraviate, Annelotte, to move.
“Where are
you going after this?”
“I think I
told you before, I’m going to look for Rana and the others.”
Rana was
the son of the Weapon Merchant Cattleya, an old friend of Yuit’s mother, who
was still missing.
“He’ll be
growing up in no time, if I don’t look for him soon, I probably won’t find
him...”
Unlike the
Little Elves, that always looked young, Rana was a normal human, who could have
already grown into a fine young man.
After all,
from a father like Owen, known as the Dragon Smiter, and a mother like
the Weapon Merchant Cattleya, it wasn’t likely that their son Rana would stay a
pretty child forever.
“...Will
you be okay on your own?”
Yuit smiled
wrily at Annelotte asking anxiously. Undoubtedly, regarding Yuit, she still
considered her a child.
“I’ll be
fine. I’m not a child anymore.”
Yuit wrote
runes on her control device as she smiled bitterly at Annelotte.
“Big bro,
do your best. Because I think this will be harder than the war.”
As
Annelotte saw Vante kneeling and her climbing onto the doll’s shoulders, she
realized once again that this girl had grown much more than herself.
Yuit had
already decided her goal and was acting of her own volition. In that case, what
Annelotte shouldn’t do was worrying about her.
“That’s
right... I’ll do my best to make this Yuit’s new hometown.”
That was
the best action she could take to repay the favor to her.
“Yeah, I’ll
look forward to it. Big bro.”
Waving her
hand at Annelotte, Yuit and Vante departed.
Whether or
not she can meet Rana, that’s another story...
Captain
Liliana & Izumi
Several men
crossed the dim alley of the port city.
“Dammit,
she’s quick on her feet.”
“Did you
look in the other alley?”
After holding
her breath watching this situation, Izumi calmly let out a big sigh.
“What annoying
fellows... I was one of the members of the Rebel Army who defeated the
Marshland Witch, I’m a heroine, something like food, wouldn’t you usually offer
me some?”
Izumi
pouted as she rubbed her belly. Grumble,
her stomach rumbled while she bore the hunger.
“Even a
heroine can’t win while hungry... good grief, I wonder if Queen’s Blade will
start soon.”
The Rebel
Army had broken up, and the beautiful fighters had spread here and there
through the Continent, in order to go back to their hometown or carry out their
goals.
Izumi too
was polishing her skills before the start of Queen’s Blade, but her travels
through the Continent to gain experience in combat had taken a turn for the
worse…
“If I don’t
have gold, I can’t get any food, this is quite hard.”
Izumi listened
around her, and slowly came out of her hiding place.
“Found
you.”
Her body
stiffened when someone suddenly called out to her.
“If it’s
about the food bill, put it in my tab. I’ll achieve the victory at Queen’s
Blade, and become Queen.”
Izumi
turned her face slowly, and saw the annoyed expression of the one who had
called out to her.
“It’s
you...”
“I’ll take
you up on your offer. Even though you addressed Captain Liliana like that.”
“W, what
for?”
“I’m
gathering a crew to restart my pirate activities. And warriors with exceptional
strength.”
“Warriors?
By any chance, do you mean me?”
Izumi’s
voice pitched nervously. She was aware that she had no match among the beautiful
fighters of the Rebel Army that fought Liliana. But actually, she couldn’t
defeat Liliana...
“That’s
right. You’re who I want... a samurai still with room to grow, as free as a
bird.”
Izumi
involuntarily clutched her fist at Liliana’s honest words.
“Ho,
hohou-, that was the correct answer. But I have one condition.”
With her
face revealing the joy at her abilities being recognized, Izumi declared,
throwing out her chest:
“This Izumi
of the War God Style, doesn’t intend to follow any evil principles and steal
from the weak.”
“Do not
worry about that. Since the witch who ordered me to do evil deeds was
destroyed, I’m a free woman now. I swear by my name of Great Pirate, my days of
indiscriminate pillaging are over.”
“Well
said... Don’t you forget those words.”
Izumi grasped
Liliana’s hand.
“Do we have
a deal, then?”
“Why don’t
we eat something first? Can’t lend ya my strength on an empty stomach.”
“Let’s go
to a bar after this and have a toast, for the rebirth of Liliana’s pirate
team’s activities.”
“Since you
say it’s a toast, you mean it’s your treat?”
“The 6th
Pirate Aesthetics says: “Give generously to your comrade, steal generously from
your enemy”... Are you my comrade? Or...”
“Probably a
comrade? Feed me generously.”
Captain
Liliana who regained her freedom, and the master fencer Izumi who came from
Hinomoto. Their adventures would enliven the Continent for a little longer.
So Cattleya & Rana are still missing from when they headed to the witch's castle as per her original ending, now that the witch is no longer there, they shouldn't be that hard to find...?
And it's quite fitting that Liliana and Izumi end up together, both basically no longer have a home to go back to (Liliana's death happened before Annelotte was born, and Izumi's lie was found out in Hinomoto), so a live of adventure is perfect for them.
Next: goblins, dwarves and angels!
