Yandere Dark Elf episode 4 recap

The episode kicks off with Cecile and Mei interrupting Bell and Hinata's date. The priestess reveals that they have come to take Bell back to their original world. Mariabelle is infuriated at Cecile and Mei for meddling in her affairs. Interestingly, the commotion brings many people to the scene.
As such, Hinata invites his former party members to his home. After thanking Hinata for such a warm welcome, Cecile reveals the actual reason behind her arrival. She explains that the existence of the other world is supposed to be kept a secret. However, Mariabelle carelessly left her world and traveled to Earth.
If it becomes widespread knowledge, Cecile doesn't know how the two worlds might influence each other. That's why Cecile and Mei have come to retrieve Mariabelle at the government's orders. Yet, the dark elf doesn't want to listen to Cecile. She thinks it's a ploy to separate her from Hinata.

Thus, a fight erupts between Bell and Cecile. Eventually, Hinata intervenes and settles them down. He explains that while he understands Cecile and Mei's standpoint, he's also happy about the fact that Mariabelle has come to visit him. Hinata promises to take responsibility if anything happens and urges his party members to let Bell stay.
Cecile doesn't say anything beyond this since Hinata has given his assurance. She leaves with Mei and prays the Gods will protect Hinata. Once the duo leaves, Mariabelle's yandere self becomes intense. She recalls Hinata saying that he will take "responsibility." The episode then shows the dark elf tempting Hinata with her bold moves.

Yet, as soon as she tries to submit Hinata forcibly, a magic enchantment gets activated. Mariabelle realizes that it's Cecile's trick. She gets annoyed at the priestess for ruining her mood. The next day, Cecile and Mei stop by Hinata's house to inform him that they are now his next-door neighbors.
Cecile adds that they have now been instructed to watch over Mariabelle to ensure she doesn't do anything. The episode ends with the dark elf angrily shouting at Cecile and Mei to go home.
What to expect in Yandere Dark Elf episode 5? (speculative)
