Yandere Dark Elf episode 11 recap

The episode kicked off with Mariabelle, Sakura, and Hinata returning from school under the scorching heat of Summer. Bell noticed that Hinata still avoided her for some reason. Sakura observed the duo's strained relationship and suggested to Bell that they should head to the beach. She thought Hinata might love to see Bell wearing a swimsuit.
Mariabelle liked the suggestion and chose the cutest swimsuit she could think of. Yet, Hinata wasn't showing the same enthusiasm he had before. Meanwhile, Cecile and Mey had also tagged along with Bell, Hinata, and Sakura. The episode featured moments where Bell tried to tempt Hinata with bold gestures. Yet, she couldn't go beyond the limit as Cecile kept an eye on her actions.

The beach trip was fun for everyone, as they enjoyed sumptuous meals, played beach volleyball, and did other stuff. Yet, Bell felt Hinata was worried about something. She took him to the washroom and asked him what was wrong. Mariabelle knew that Hinata was troubled, and she had something to do with it.
Yet, she promised the boy that she would always be by his side. Mariabelle's words somewhat relieved Hinata of his worries, though he still had some doubts lingering. At any rate, the party decided to go and swim. At that moment, Bell said something unusual. The episode ended with the dark elf confessing that she couldn't swim.
