Anime Episode 09

"The Capital in Chaos and a Maiden's Oath" (揺れ動く王都と乙女の誓い) is the 9th episode of the "Skeleton Knight in Another World" Anime adaptation.

Arc, Ariane, Chiyome, and Goemon launch an attack on the Etzat Market, the single largest slave market in the kingdom of Rhoden.

Summary
During the night of the attack on the Etzat Market, Dakares in Cetrion's safe haven learns from the said person that the market is under attack as well as four other slave markets as well. Dakares demands that reinforcements be sent to the places under attack and notes his frustration about his situation.



At the Etzat Market, Chiyome, Ariane, and Ponta infiltrate the place, and a couple of guards soon accosts them. The guards are quickly dealt with by Chiyome's Ninjutsu, Liquid Wolf Fang. A quartet of guards is alerted, and Ariane uses her fire magic to deal with them. They then reach the cells where the slaves are held, and Chiyome announces herself as part of the Jinshin Clan who's there to rescue them all. As Chiyome opens some of the cells, more guards arrive and are swiftly dealt with by Ariane.



Outside in the market compound, Arc and Goemon arise from the rubble and are soon joined by Chiyome's group who informs them of the Beastpeople's whereabouts. Goemon decides to stay alone and defend the area if reinforcements arrive, leaving Arc and the others to return to the market and free more of the slave held captive. Once they do, Chiyome finds a pile of dead bodies, and a slave informs them that slaves who were sick or injured were disposed of. Arc pulls Chiyome together, and they all regroup with the slave in the hall, who are then teleported out by Arc's magic in large groups. Once that was settled, Arc returned to the market compound to assist the injured and belabored Goemon. With Arc using his Rock Fang and Goemon using his Rock Spear Strike, they manage to decimate the reinforcements without a hassle. After this, the two reconvene with Ariane and Chiyome and bring along the deceased slave's bodies. Once the bodies are properly and respectively laid out on the ground, Ariane cremates them, and as Chiyome watches this, she vows to become stronger.



Meanwhile, Dakares is assassinated by Cetrion, who is in cahoots with Prince Sekt who learns from Cetrion about the freed slaves and Yuriarna's supposed demise. Pleased by the news, Sekt asks Cetrion to spread the news of Yuriarna's death and relishes that he now is the sole heir to the throne. Returning to Arc's group, both Arc and Goemon have another manly bonding moment with each other and Chiyome restates her vow to Ariane that she hopes to become stronger.

Time passes and Arc's group returns to Olav. They ride on a boat steered by Goemon and learn from Chiyome that Goemon and her will head to a hidden village in the Calcut Mountains. She then claims that she'll give them the important information she had promised them.



In the Grand Duchy of Limbult, Yuriarna reaches her sister Seriarna's castle and she learns from her sister about her supposed demise. Inside the castle, Seriarna informs Yuriarna and her attendee Ferna how news of Dakares killed her and was sequentially slain by Cetrion. Evidence of her death was inferred solely from the fact that the necklace that she always wore from their mother was found. Ferna then notes that the same necklace went missing. After contemplating the situation over, Yuriarna tells her sister not to inform her father about her survival and instead hopes to continue her duty by speaking to the Elves.

Back to Arc's group, Ariane relays a message through a Whisper Bird so Danka can be brought up to date with the current events. A flashback of the information given by Chiyome that the location of the remaining Elven slaves are at the Holy Revlon Empire. As they head to the east toward the empire, Arc wonders why Ariane's attitude changed so much, but wonders more about what new adventures lie ahead of them in the said empire.

Meanwhile, in the imperial capital of the Holy Revlon Empire, Emperor Domitianus learns of the death of Dakares from his Chancellor Velmoas. Although pleased by the news that Yuriarna is dead, Velmoas informs Domitianus that the rings they provided to Dakares were broken and that a 3rd person is involved in killing the princess. Domitianus speculates that Sekt was the likely one to do it and asks about Fumba's progress in bringing Olav to ruin. Velmoas happily announces that his progress is coming along smoothly.

Elsewhere, a worm-like monster with a ring attached to it, kills a flying creature as Fumba himself observes from a safe location.
