Episode Title:
Dejection! Airi's Duplicity.
Episode Description:
Melona is tortured by the Swamp Witch for her failure during the Queen's Blade, and angrily wonders when Airi will be called back by the spell of dominance. Airi is now living as Cattleya and Lana's maid, sneaking out at night to steal essence. Lana tells her to stop and to feed on his essence instead. Reflecting afterwards, Airi decides she must leave and returns to the Swamp Witch. Melona tortures her, while Airi reveals the spell of dominance faded during the Queen's Blade, but her loyalty to the Swamp Witch remains. Nanael instructs Melpha to investigate the swamp. Melpha uses her holy powers to bring life back to a portion of the swamp, prompting Airi to attack her. Airi defeats Melpha, who comments on how conflicted Airi seems, and advises her to be true to herself. Airi tries to consume Melpha's essence, but its holy nature incapacitates her. Melpha reports her findings to Nanael, while Airi discusses Melpha's words with Melona.
