The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses episode 5: A brief recap

The previous episode started with a conversation between Ciel and Hapi, with Hapi explaining that she was there to take the former back to the castle as she had been taking too long to assassinate Toto. Hapi subsequently left, giving Ciel an ultimatum to kill Toto the next day, saying that she would be watching.

The very next morning, Ciel made it clear to Anemone and Goa that she was going to attempt to kill Toto, and they both agreed to steer clear of the scene. After the mission for the day was set, Goa and Anemone excused themselves, leaving Ciel and Toto alone to go on the adventure. Ciel and Toto then arrived at a jungle cave dungeon to carry on with the mission.

After entering the dungeon, Ciel used the totem as a trap to decrease Toto's defence by 90% so that it would be easier to kill him. After that, Ciel conjured up a large magical scythe and attacked Toto with her Thanatos Punishment attack. While she landed the first blow, she became reluctant to finish the job and gave up.

After Ciel healed Toto, he defeated a large group of Death Rats in the dungeon and returned to the Inn. As Ciel met with Hapi the same night and was ready to be taken back to the castle, Hapi permitted her to continue the journey. Hapi then stated that Ciel was in love with Toto, before leaving for the castle alone. The episode ended with all of them deciding to go on an expedition next.
