Yandere Dark Elf episode 3: Mariabelle and Hinata's special moment

Yandere Dark Elf episode 3 begins with Mariabelle playing volleyball with Sakura Mochida and others during gym class at school. Although Bell quickly learns the rules, she struggles to make a good impression with her game. Sakura cheers her up, saying that gym classes aren't her strong suit either.
At this moment, Bell hugs Hinata and asks him why she has to play volleyball when she only wanted to spend time with him. Hinata replies that while he is glad Bell is trying her best to adjust to her new life in his realm, he had hoped she would impress him a bit more. Just then, Mariabelle returns to the field with renewed vigor.

Yandere Dark Elf episode 3 focuses on Mariabelle showcasing her impressive volleyball skills, even though she's using magic to track the ball's trajectories. However, since she's not very athletic, Bell twists her ankle. Hinata then takes Mariabelle to the nurse's office and asks Sakura to inform the gym teacher about their sudden absence.
Meanwhile, in the nurse's office, Mariabelle tells Hinata not to worry about her, as she can do anything with him by her side. At that moment, her yandere instincts take over as she keenly observes Hinata and mentions that nothing fazes her when he's around. That's why she wants him to stay with her forever.

After that, in Yandere Dark Elf episode 3, Bell asks Hinata to cast a spell that will relieve her pain. Hinata agrees to Mariabelle's wishes and kisses her feet. However, the intensity overwhelms him, as he gets slightly intimate with the dark elf. Yet, Sakura's arrival ensures they don't cross their limits. She also apologizes for barging into the room without knocking.

The episode then shows Mariabelle and Sakura Mochida trying on different undergarments in the trial room. Bell even tries on a bikini and models it for Hinata, who becomes embarrassed. After stocking up on necessary clothing, the trio heads to a café. Sakura asks Bell whether she had fun. Bell responds that she did indeed, but she looks somewhat absent-minded.

Meanwhile, Hinata heads to the bathroom, leaving Bell and Sakura alone together. Sensing it as an opportunity, Sakura asks the dark elf if she and Hinata are partners. Sakura is impressed by how easily Bell confesses her love for Hinata. Sakura realizes that she needs to step up her game.

After finishing their snacks, the party decides to head home. Once Sakura leaves, Hinata asks Bell if they can take a detour. He takes the dark elf to a serene lake, which soothes her spirits. Hinata realized that Mariabelle may have wanted to spend time alone with him. He kisses Bell on the cheek, which touches her heart.
