Episode 11

**Predicament** is the 11th episode of Anime series.

## Synopsis

Yuri is infuriated that Sei is in Klausner's domain without him. Unfortunately he has to stay behind because of his duties until the second order of knights needs assistance. Yuri decides to take Aira and a few mages with him as well.

Back in Klausner's domain, Sei practices with Saint's Conjury. She gets it to work but she gets embarrassed. Marie comes in with some afternoon tea. Sei notes how good Marie is with her job, and she appreciates it since she doesn't think about it too much. Sei takes Marie's words to heart. When Sei goes into work, she asks Corinna for help with her blessing. Corinna has a servant set up several potted plants that haven't sprouted. Sei manages to perform the blessing but notes it'll take a bit to see if it worked. Corinna then asks her to bless several more potted plants and agrees they should check on them the following day.

Leonhart them comes by asking Sei to join his mercenary company. Corinna mocks his rude behavior and Albert is also cross with him. Leonhart realizes that Sei is the saint and is kicked in the shins for his reckless request. Albert decides to discuss with Sei about their recent expeditions and Corinna pulls Leonhart's ear so the pair can have some alone time. Albert sympathetically asks Sei for help since she's the only healer around. She agrees but thinks about her preparations to cast the blessing which gets Albert to ask if she's okay. She doesn't say anything to him yet.

Back in the research lab, Johan has tea with Jude. They talk about what Sei is likely up to. Sei talks with Leonhart about formality around her and about the expedition coming up. Later on, the expedition is ready to begin after Albert talks with the troops. He asks if Sei could speak with them to help him out, but she refuses. She gets into the carriage with Albert giving her a longing look.

After a trek into the woods, Sei gets out of the carriage to stretch. She's hopeful to look at the herbs in Klausner's domain. Leonhart says his greetings to Albert and Sei formally while Sei reminds him that it's okay for him to speak normally to them. As the knights travel through the woods, a slime creeps nearby. Meanwhile Leonhart learns that Sei primarily works in the research institute while her saint duties are a side job to her. After an awkward moment, Sei remarks how beautiful the forest is. Leonhart mentions that it's only a forest, but he spent a lot of time in them. Sei mentions her forests aren't like those here and it was nice.

Their nice moment is cut off when the knights note that they found something, some slime digestive juice at the base of a tree. They note the lack of monsters other than the slime and it's likely due to Sei being there. They continue forward with caution as the slime trails them. After a bit some more come up and surrounded the expedition. The party begins fighting them off but are quickly outnumbered. Eventually Yuri comes in with several fire tornados to kill off a bunch along with Aira and several mages.
