Queen's Blade: Sword of the Unicorn, chapter 3-h

Whew, crazy day today!

First of all, Queen's Blade White Triangle is out~!

You can access it here, (again, you'll need a Bandai Namco account setting your country to "Japan"), and we'll talk more about the game soon, but go hurry up if you wanna see your gals kicking ass~
Oh and one more thing, in my Chrome it hangs after every fight and has visual errors, better go with Firefox.

For the poll about Naruto, Shizuka beat Izumi 27v-58% vs 19v-41%.
Guess Shizuka had the lead from the beginning, but Izumi didn't take "no" for an answer indeed, no sirree~

Next poll is way more serious, so I'll be making a post in a moment about it :(

As for the story, here's us ending chapter 3! One more pic too.

Enjoy!




“Thank you for waiting.”
Now fully equipped and with her priestess attire properly fastened, Tomoe returned to find Leina waiting for her. The latter was apparently faster when it came to getting changed.
“What is that?”
Tomoe looked to the Sword of the Unicorn held within Leina’s hands.
“It’s Fio’s precious item. I can’t just leave it here.”
“Was it always that small?”
“Hm, now that you mention it…”
When they’d last toyed with it back at the inn, it was about the size of a small sword. But since they’d left the bath, it felt as if it’d gotten even smaller somehow.

“We’d better hurry.”
The Vance girl clutched the weapon tightly, staring at Tomoe.
[He told us this sword and his body were one and the same. The fact that it’s shrunk so much can only mean he’s in danger.]
“Miss Leina, Fifi told us that sword was connected to him, right?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to comfort him through it? Maybe by grabbing or stroking it?”
“You might just be a genius, Tomoe.”
“Not at all, that said, let us try right away.”
“Uh…”

Despite Tomoe’s prompting, Leina involuntarily hesitated as she remembered what the thing was shaped like.
[It never bothered me back when I thought he was a girl, but looking down at it now that I know he’s a boy… It really is similar. A part that symbolizes manhood. Grabbing or stroking it, uh…]
Her cheeks flushed right before Tomoe’s eyes.
“Miss Leina, you’re thinking much too hard on this.”
“But… I mean… it looks like a…”
“I can understand your hesitation, its shape resembling *that* so much would cause just about anyone to pause.”
Tomoe spoke as if reading Leina’s mind.
“But, embarrassing or not, this is an emergency. Fifi’s life could be at stake.”

If what Fio had told them was to be believed. Airi needed him as a sacrifice for some sort of ritual, she wouldn’t risk letting him escape again.
“If you can’t do it, then I will. Kindly hand it to me.”
Tomoe extended her hand.
“Should I blow on it like before, it may react again or even make a sound.”
The moment Tomoe put it to her lips back at Logan’s Inn, it twitched and grew larger. The priestess was sure they’d see another reaction if they tried again.
“...I’ll do it.”

[I can’t keep relying on Tomoe. I’m more than just the Earl of Vance’s daughter now, I’m a fighter participating in the Queen’s Blade.
I wear this outfit that exposes everything a nobleman’s daughter shouldn’t for all to see, but… I suppose when it comes to the moment of truth, the decorum of a nobleman’s daughter can’t help but rear its ugly head.
However, there’s no way I’d allow decorum to stop me from saving the life of someone whom I’m sworn to protect; if I let that happen, then this journey would have been truly pointless.]
Her mind made up, Leina pressed her lips against the sword’s rear end.

“Ah.”
Her body twitched as she felt something warm flow through her from the weapon.
She remembered the feeling well: it was the same thing she’d experienced when Fio had kissed her.
The warmth coursed through her entire body, and soon, the trembling legs and withered arms Airi had left her with were flowing with vitality again.
That was all that happened however, as the sword refused to change.
But that was all Leina needed, because now she knew: Fio was okay.

“How was it?”
“Well, it didn’t get any bigger, but that’s fine. Fio is still alive.”
Leina told Tomoe, before nestling the item within her cleavage.
“What are you…?”
“I’m hoping the sword will hear my heartbeat. Maybe some of it will make it through to him.”
She tried pressing the sword even closer, fully sandwiching it between her breasts.
“Auh…”
The blonde let out a small moan as something unexpected happened: the sword began to pulse the moment it was put into direct contact with her skin.
A truly unusual weapon, it really did almost feel as if it were alive.

“Let’s go, Tomoe.”
“Do you know where our destination is?”
Fio rough indications would only get them so far.
“We’ll have to count on this for the rest.”
The blonde pointed to the item tightly squeezed within her mounds.
“Then let us depart, to the underground ruins where our otherworldly opponents await.”

Tomoe activated a couple of her will-o-wisp like amulets and the pair began their journey back to the city bathed in night life.
