Anime Episode 21

Using Shrimp As Bait to Catch Sea Bream, but Instead Catching a Shark is the 21st episode of the "Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki" Anime adaptation.

''Roroa's arrival further complicates the situation between Amidonia and the Kingdom of Frieden. It was an outcome not even Souma had anticipated. In response, a conference between Grand Chaos Empire Empress Maria Euphoria and Souma must be convened.''

Summary
Roroa demonstrates knowledge of Kazuya’s political and personal life and admits she organised the rebellion that overthrew Julius. She also points out the dangers posed by the Lunarian Orthodox Papal State. Impressed, and with the agreement of all his fiancés, Kazuya agrees to marry Roroa and let her run her merchants network to generate money for the kingdom. Amidonia is absorbed by Elfrieden and renamed the Kingdom of Friedonia. Via a magic mirror Kazuya meets Empress Maria. Despite her personal feelings on the matter she is forced to object to his ruling of Amidonia as against the Mankind Declaration. However, Kazuya points out under the declaration Maria cannot deny the wishes of the Amidonian citizens who asked to join Elfrieden, so while she cannot condone Kazuya taking over Amidonia, she can’t stop it either. Faced with the paradox, and aware it could potentially happen in any kingdom, Maria decides Kazuya can keep Amidonia without violating the declaration. They also agree on the danger of the church, whose religious believers reside in all kingdoms and can cause untold chaos without ever breaking the declaration, especially if they take advantage of the war with the demons. The next morning Liscia and Aisha are furious to find Roroa snuck into Kazuya’s bed, leading to an awkward conversation about Kazuya delaying having children with Liscia.
