Somebody is eating holy guts in the holy city of Rabona, but city law forbids illegal aliens (e.g. Claymores) from entering the city. However, the clergy is like screw that, and call on Clare for a covert operation. Under orders from Elder Rimuto in Sutafu, Clare meets with Father Vincent and scopes the place out.
Of course the Po-Po try and pull her over with some shady racial profiling during curfew hours, but she is able to school them first with her Yoma-suppression pills (brown eyes at the cost of Yoma-spider-sense) and then later with 1337 haxxor dual-wielding skills. Clare’s suspicions about the voracious eater turn out to be right, and the Yoma turns out to be a Voracious Eater (supposedly veteran Yoma, but later on we find out what they really are). Unfortunately for Clare, the scrubs from before get in her way and she ends up getting skewered in the b00bs.
This was a pretty good episode with something for everyone. Naturally it was a nice change of pace to see Clare forgo the silver contact lenses for beautiful brown eyes while offering to show Lucky her amazing prostitution training. Then we get to see her go from Arms spec to Fury spec as she drops the heavy armor and 2H namesake for two long daggers. What a disguise!
I don’t really remember this part in the manga, so I’m going to guess that the Voracious Eater was hiding as the shriveled old corpse that Lucky was grossed out by. Voracious Eaters become a lot more important later on, once their true nature is revealed. There was also some nice character development as Clare showed off her tsundere training by asking Father Vincent for a favor, and Lucky ate for two as if he was a pregnant woman.

This eppisode was good i think it had a good amount of action in it but it wasnt just sencless fight it actually had meaning to it. I espieially liked the way Clare protected thoese two guards I think its good their showing her soft side developing her character. looking forward to the next eppisode!
What we need now is either a deus ex machina or a cross-dressing Lucky willing to avenge onesama.
Wow, those little pills sure pack some serious fibre against the evil Yoma constipation!
