Anime Episode 07

"A Miracle for the High-Minded Princess" (理想に燃ゆる王女に奇跡が舞い降りた) is the 7th episode of the "Skeleton Knight in Another World" Anime adaptation.

With Arc and Ariane's newly minted partnership having been made official, they set out together for the royal capital of Olav, in pursuit of the slave-trading ring that has kidnapped so many elves.

Summary


Arc and group set out for Olav, the capital of the Rhoden Kingdom, and Arc reflects on how his skeleton body is in fact due to a curse. Although he can cast an Un-curse spell on himself to cure his condition, the effects are sadly temporary. Soon the group makes it out of the forest they tracked through and reaches a small pond where Giant Dragonfiles inhabited. The Giant Dragonflies immediately attack Arc and chase him as he tries to flee from them.

In a village pub, Arc admits to Ariane that he's afraid of insects and while they enjoy dinner, discuss their plans forward through the next forest. Their waitress admonishes them from cutting through the forest due to its infestation of monsters called Haunted Wolves. Understanding that Ariane wants to go through the forest so they can rescue the Elves faster, Arc and Ponta both agree to follow her through the forest.

The following day, at Olav, Yuriarna accompanied by her attendee Ferna settle in their horse-driven carriage. It's planned to regroup with their guards midway in the nearby forest to keep up a fast pace and reach the Grand Duchy of Limbult with all possible haste. Unbeknownst to them, they were being closely watched from the shadows by an elusive figure.



Back to Arc's group, they close in on where the Haunted Wolves are said to be. Ariane then talks about how the monsters' tail fur is used to make veils which are wonderful gifts for brides to be. She then says that her sister is soon to be wed and Arc surmises that she'd like the tail fur to create a present for her sister's wedding. At that moment, they're attacked by Haunted Wolves, which most are illusions cast by the wolves. They both handle themselves against the Haunted Wolves and soon Arc locates the leader of the pack. Confronting the pack leader, Arc sees that it has a similar ring attached to its leg that he once found on a Giant Basilisk. Arc manages to cut the ring off of the pack leader which allows it to regain control of itself and call its pack members to regroup with it and leave. Soon, Ariane regroups with Arc and learns from him about the rings he found on the Haunted Wolf and Giant Basilisk that attacked them in the past. After that explanation, they take a brief rest, allowing Ariane to harvest a dead Haunted Wolf's tail fur.

Meanwhile, Yuriarna's carriage progresses through the forest and Yuriarna confesses her thoughts on the mission her father imposed on her. She is fully aware that her brother Dakares is the ring leader responsible for the Elven slaves and that her other brother Sekt would allow things to play out without getting involved. Just then the carriage starts to shake and a couple of the guards outside shout that they're under attack.



Returning to Arc's group, Ariane prepares to skin the tail fur from the wolves and Ponta hears a disturbance in the distance and heads for it. Arc follows him and Ariane stays behind to prepare the wolf's tail fur. At Yuriarna's carriage, both Yuriana and Ferna are slain by one of six hooded assailants and one of Yuriana's guards was an accomplice. Just then, Ponta followed by Arc arrive at the scene. As Arc examines Yuriarna and Ferna, the assailants launch multiple Fire Berretta and Rock Shot at Arc, who is invulnerable to the attacks. Assessing whether or not he should cast a spell to revive both Ferna and Yuriarna, Arc is shocked to see that the Haunted Wolves from before attacked the assailants. Arc joins the attack and they manage to take out a few of them while the rest escape from the scene. Once that was all settled, the wolves take their leave and Arc decides to cast Regeneration on Yuriarna, Ferna, and as many of her guards as he so can. While Arc does this, Yuriarna briefly regains consciousness and thinks Arc is an angel.

Awakening from her unconscious state thanks to Ferna, Yuriarna learns from her that they were healed somehow and so were most of their guards. Considering their revival as an act of god, she proclaims this to the remaining guard troops of hers. Arc witnesses Yuriarna give the proclamation from afar and then regroups with Ariane who had finished her personal task and they continue forward.

Finally at Olav, they nearly get involved in a fight between a young lady and three angry men who are easily deal with by the young lady who turns out to be the ninja girl.
