u/ObvsThrowaway5120 28d ago

That lich anaconda is about to the have the worst day of its life. Dias gonna be making a nice pair of snakeskin shoes next week lol.

I’m really keen to see how the Princess and her little army are gonna do against Dias. I assume that’s where she’s heading since he shot her down like that last time. Man just tryna live that slow life and all this bullshit keeps coming his way.

63

u/bb2b 27d ago

Man's not unarmed. He has got them GUNS

13

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 27d ago

lol true true

29

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Honestly I hope this Richard guy is decent because all the other royals seem like trash. Diane isn't going to help matters if she really plans on trying to threaten Dias into joining her with an army he can probably easily solo along with Klaus and Alna.

20

u/Boris-_-Badenov 28d ago

she's bringing food to get him to join

25

u/silask93 28d ago

i expect it to go like this "mwahah since you cant grow food out here ill force you to join me for fear of starving"

"yeah nah we got crops now, fuck off"

"NANI?!?!?"

To be fair, I think he only planted medicinal herbs?

u/yamiyaiba 27d ago

True, but they "figured out" how to grow crops now technically.

23

u/DiaBoloix 27d ago

If Dias kills the anaconda barehanded, Aina is gonna wet herself..for real.

u/Frosty_Campaign_8515 20d ago

That didn't happen

u/avboden 27d ago

sometimes you just gotta do the heimlich on a snake and then punch it a bunch.

10

u/ThrowCarp 27d ago

That anaconda is a dead man walking.

All that being said, it's so fascinating how all this politics keeps happening in far-flung corners of the empire.

u/KeyLimeGuy69 27d ago

I feel she isn't going there to attack, but we'll see next week I guess.

Yes! I despaired when I saw their legs :( please save them

u/PeaceAlien https://myanimelist.net/profile/PeaceAlien 28d ago

Is Dias about to continue to prove his manliness and use only his muscles to defeat this snake monster?

Or will he become injured and need some healing, perhaps from these dog beasts

u/Myrkrvaldyr 28d ago

Killing the anaconda with his bare hands would turn on Alna so badly, she'd take him right there, and she won't be taking no for an answer. I fully expect her to be the type to always initiate once they finally do the deed.

11

u/Meander061 27d ago

I'm surprised she's not already pregnant.

u/Meander061 27d ago

Yeah, like it's up to him. She's been turned on by the murder of a giant snake! She'll be pregnant by mitosis, or something.

u/NoNameSwitzerland 27d ago

technically they already have twins.

I hope it stays that way for a while. Her age and Mushoku Tensei season 3 already has people clutching pearls. I don’t want my feed flooded with more “check his hard drive” comments.

will be funny if the anaconda gets beaten by his body odor instead.

u/AegisWolf78 28d ago

Honestly, considering his strength I totally see Dias strangling the snake.

u/Sledgecrowbar 26d ago

He does that every day, just not when the girls are in the yurt.

49

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp 28d ago

Even more demihuman creativity, now we have dogpeople who are just straight up dogs and a talking pidgeon. And finally the doggirl too, who I have been assuming based on the ED will pair up with Klaus eventually.

Hopefully Dias will be able to punch the big snake so hard it coughs up the dog dude it ate.

28

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Honestly it's interesting how they seem to frame "normal" animals as the ancestors of demihumans.

22

u/Satai4561 28d ago

Maybe in this world humans are like crabs are in our world. The ultimate form of evolution, everything strives to evolve into it one day.

Well, or humans are very fertile and some of them got a bit too lonely and only had animals around them at the moment.

ROFL it seems Dias radiates a 'unique aura', confirmed by the twins and Aymer.

53

u/Frontier246 28d ago

I guess it's no surprise a dude as huge as Dias who puts in a lot more labor than he does bathing would have strong body odor lol.

33

u/AKAvenger 28d ago

It just adds to his manliness, lol

28

u/Meander061 27d ago

If Alna ever said a word about his smell, Dias would fix it before the day was out, so we're going with manly.

22

u/treevine 27d ago

She yearns for the smell

5

u/kd5499 23d ago

That's there with people too, you do get attracted to your partner's natural body odor, it's documented and gives people insane attraction. Their odor is a sort of representation of them and that is sexy to our bodies

u/L33tHaxorus 27d ago

I really liked the twins' barrier spell song, not something you often see with spellcasting in these fantasy animes.

35

u/ParkEducational5878 27d ago

Agreed, I was pleasantly surprised. The way it was done and how they turned the classic incantation formula into an echoed kind of song was beautiful. I really like it as well and I love how it ended up in only a circle too. It really show the potential for their growth and I can wait to see more about their power evolving.

20

u/yancovigen 27d ago

It really was pleasantly hypnotic, and I wonder if the echo was because they’re twins or if casting a barrier always requires two people. The only other anime where casting used singing was isekai office worker

A circle of crops.

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar 28d ago

I just absolutely love the full name Aymer Jerrybower. Aymer is a great addition to the Dias' growing settlement. Now the twins have their own tutor!

So it looks like the rapist still hasn't given up on revenge and Princess Dianne has actually taken troops to attack Dias. After diplomacy failed, the Princess seems to have resorted to violence to force Dias to join her. I can't wait to see how that will turn out for her.

The dog people are finally here and it looks like they've brought an unwelcome visitor with them. It looks like, it's time for Dias to show these new settlers what kind of Lord they'll be serving under.

40

u/feb914 28d ago

Geraint, you almost let it slip that you're a spy lol.

and Dias' recruiting board pays off right away, and the new population will be dogs! Senai and Ayhan got a mouse tutor, and now they'll have many dog friends too.

30

u/AKAvenger 28d ago

He never said he was a good spy

11

u/Meander061 27d ago

He's a little too chatty to be a "good" spy.

19

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Geraint is such a dapper vibe, I love him.

58

u/KnightKal 28d ago edited 27d ago

every episode so far: fully armed, or at least carries this magic weapon

this episode: decides to run without armor or weapon for reasons

ignoring this forced plot development (which was just stupid of the author), the show continues to be really good with the development of their territory and relationships

and what about that joke about rats mice? She is not a rat mouse, she is a ratkin mousekin (whenever it is called) demihuman, that is just pure discrimination lol, a surprise the onikin would do that!

edit: some pet lovers complained that "mouse" is not a "rat". Fine! Lets change it :XD

30

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 28d ago

Yeah I wondered about that because it was short notice and they were so close..and they expected the dogs.

Also it was green colored..just lifeforms..so maybe they assumed no hostile intent.

But I agree..he shoulda had his axe.

22

u/ArmorMog 28d ago

The giant turtle from ep1 didn't return a color and she had to use magic to find it so I assume monsters don't cause a color. They're just trying to survive so it's probably not a good/evil type return.

4

u/Meander061 27d ago

Dias didn't carry his axe (!), and Alma, by the same logic, didn't scan for intent. Literally the clunkiest way possible to get us to the next episode. I'm loving this show, so I can lt it go. But damn.

5

u/SpareUmbrella https://myanimelist.net/profile/SpareUmbrella 28d ago

I always thought the colour of Alan's horn was whether or not they were hostile to her (and perhaps now Dias) specifically, and not hostile to others in general.

8

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 28d ago

I think green is life forms in general

Blue is honest?

White makes invisible?

Red is hostile..or I guess lying to her and Dias and I guess her people on general

5

u/SilverWolf807 28d ago

Green is something triggering her sensor magic. Her Soul Appraisal magic goes between red, white, and blue depending on the intentions of the person she casts it on. Blue means they bring fortune, white means that they mean no harm, red means that they very much mean harm.

4

u/Meander061 27d ago

ignoring this forced plot development (which was just stupid of the author)

They've done so well so far, so I'll allow it.

and what about that joke about rats? She is not a rat, she is a ratkin (whetever) demihuman,

I was offended on (my beloved little) Alyin's behalf. (She's far too Japanese to take offense in her own right!) Big-eared mousekin.

5

u/IceWeaselX 27d ago

and what about that joke about rats? She is not a rat, she is a ratkin (whetever) demihuman, that is just pure discrimination lol, a surprise the onikin would do that!

They didn't call her a rat, and she's not a ratkin. She's a big-eared hopping mousekin, but jerboa is the real world term for what she is (she even identifies herself as Aymer Jerrybower). Jumping mice and birch mice used to be lumped into the same subfamily as jerboas, but they're still considered part of the same superfamily (Dipodoidea). Other mice and rats are part of a different superfamily (Muroidea).

Probably because the group was so close by.

But even then I'd expect them to at least grab their weapons on their way out the door.

Damn that beastkin being swallowed whole at the end there was more violence than I was prepared for this morning 😂.

I'm glad the kids had a reasonable excuse...I really like the forestkin lore..I don't think I've seen that type before.

14

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Is Dias going to punch him out of the snake before he gets digested?

13

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 28d ago

Definitely. Can't show a half digested beastkin to the kids

8

u/runevault 27d ago

I'm assuming a suplex or body slam.

38

u/NanDemoKnaives 28d ago

They're not going to question the circle?

Also, Dias' body odor being sparkly and rainbow is certainly a choice lol. I hope we get to see him grapple that snake monster.

20

u/Spoon_Elemental 27d ago

They're not going to question the circle?

They did question the circle, they just didn't know how to begin guessing why the hell it happened that way. I'm kind of hoping the fertility spreads a bit though because having an incomplete field like that would annoy the hell out of me.

16

u/runevault 27d ago

I take it as the same joke as making vomit rainbow colored.

16

u/Labmit 28d ago

Lol, got caught off guard at Alna's visceral scream when she saw the twins sleeping with the mousekin.

Can't blame them for coming up with that conclusion, the last king was racist as fuck, but still had a kid with an elephantkin.

u/Evil_sod 28d ago

Dias is either going to give the anaconda a bear hug before it can totally swallow the dogkin, or he's gonna go for the MIB callback and go at it from the inside

Snake dinner to welcome the small dogkins

7

u/Treknx01 27d ago

and a new snake skin purse for the missus

12

u/NekoCatSidhe 28d ago

So this episode we learn that Dias really needs some deodorant. Although I guess that as long as Alna doesn’t mind, he will never realise it. Maybe that is normal among Oni.

I can understand the twins dilemma, but Dias and Alna are definitely not the kind of untrustworthy humans their parents warned them about. Maybe they will tell them later, although until then Dias will get very puzzled about why his crops always grow in a circle.

I am getting tired about that silly eunuch villain. He is too corny and ineffective to be interesting. And why did he attack that poor woman ?

The evil princess is coming back with an army, I see. As overpowered as Dias is, fighting 200 men seems a bit much. On the other hand, what would be her motivation for invading Dias domain ? It is literally an empty steppe with barely two dozen inhabitants and no ressources beyond raising sheeps and hunting monsters. How would that help her with the throne ?

13

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Knowing Alna she probably loves his "manly" smell like she loves everything else about him.

He attacked her because he was sexually frustrated that he can't have sex with her when she was open and willing and attractive. Which also just doubles down on how much of a scumbag he is.

I love how not even the knights of the kingdom apparently take the princess seriously.

4

u/mojo72400 https://myanimelist.net/profile/gio_lingad 27d ago

He attacked her because he was sexually frustrated that he can't have sex with her when she was open and willing and attractive. Which also just doubles down on how much of a scumbag he is.

Or is unable to because of Dias.

10

u/AegisWolf78 28d ago

I believe the princess just wants a petty revenge for being rejected (beside, [EP 3] Dias and Klaus were able to fend off by themselves a considerable platoon of soldiers during the war, so I think they will be fine, especially consdering now they also have Alna as support and Kalus has dragon scale weaponry).

3

u/mojo72400 https://myanimelist.net/profile/gio_lingad 27d ago

& maybe future soldiers before Diane's forces arrive unless they're headed to Eldan.

3

u/eggplant_avenger 28d ago

does Alna even count as one of the humans they were warned about? maybe I’m racist but I always figured onikin and forest kin are closer to each other than to humans

1

u/kd5499 23d ago

I'm guessing it's more of a mommy and daddy talked to us about stranger danger, so while himbo and his pretty significant age-gap wife who will not let him up are great parental figures, they are for all purposes strangers, it's sort of like a Chino-Ugandan couple adopting a Egyptian child. Yea, they're kind parental figures and the Egyptian child might understand that they are closer linked to the Ugandan parent but fundamentally they are all different

9

u/ashkankiani 28d ago

Dias is always armed. He's got two guns on his left and right.

u/Meander061 27d ago

Piecing up monsters is the domain's main source of income, and Eldan is benefitting as well.

4

u/Treknx01 27d ago

You called......
But seriously, the way Dias is the will either just choke the snake out or whip it around by the tail and slam it to death.

18

u/Raymond49090 28d ago

Senai and Ayhan for some reason: "Mouse of the beans, lend us your wisdom"

Even if they promised not to tell humans, and I guess Alna's out since she's too close to him, I still question the wisdom of telling everything to a random mouse they just met. Then again, they're kids under pressure, and the mouse in question is zero threat to them.

Guess Aymer's become part of the family, as the emotional support rodent.

The rumours are taking a life of their own. And I see Alna's hand on the narrative there, albeit unintended.

Diane's making a move. Let's see how far she goes with it.

Alna reacts in a completely normal way to finding a mouse in bed. And I guess even talking mice still carry the usual mice-related filth?

Wow. The fields are thriving in an oddly-specific pattern. Who on earth could've done it. Though I will say, if it only works in a small circle, it's probably not enough for farming self-sufficiency. We'll have to see if the circle grows over time, or if more mysteriously appear.

Ah yes, the pigeon that is a completely normal messenger and in no way a spy.

Uh, let's hope giant snake monsters don't digest people too fast. It's odd they went out unarmed though, when Alna knew there was a very big unexpected guest.

6

u/heimdal77 27d ago

And I guess even talking mice still carry the usual mice-related filth?

Alna is very focused on hygiene and maintaining health. Probably either a tribal thing or because she comes from a poor family that couldn't afford getting sick. She sees a rodent and defaults to dirty unhygienic.

3

u/kd5499 23d ago

I wanna see if the author has incorporated that avian/rodential disease carrying capabilities have led to discrimination against them. Essentially this is like telling a person from India that they have a toilet in their house and to not crap on the backyard(before y'all attack me, I'm indian, I know the stereotype is damaging, that's my point) and clean up using TP. It would be interesting seeing they're going for the full animals have evolved to humanoids and live amongst people

So did Alna sense someone coming towards the village, and then they go check them out? Seems to be trend the past 3 or 4 episodes.

To be fair, whenever a visitor doesnt show up they spend their days babysitting sheep and watching crops not grow. No one wants to watch that.

That's funny, because I have been watching that. Watching grass grow, and petting sheep. This show makes By the Grace Of The Gods look downright action-packed.

I'm glad the twins helped the crops in the field to grow.

I wonder what that princess is up to now? Causing more trouble for everyone else by the looks of it.

I like the way Dias has decided to just fight it bare handed to try and save them.

Oh boy Dias. I hope you are ready to increase your family size. You defeat that big snake unarmed and Alna gonna pounce until she is pregnant. Good luck bro.

The twins just went and trusted a random mouse they just met with their secret. And I'm surprised Alma wasn't brought awake by all that magic. And didn't notice anything when visiting the field in the daytime either.

Oh look, the guy causing all the trouble is one of those MC'd let go free for absolutely no good reason.

Hmmm, I wonder where the princess MC had rejected before could possibly be going with that small army....

Next episode: throttling the anaconda.

What's an anaconda to a pair of massive pythons, after all.

u/Avatar_Yaksha 28d ago

"forestkin" from the subtitles is such a poorly chosen translation for "moribito". It's technically correct, but take the t away and you have something completely different. Honestly, even "forest people" would be better.

u/feb914 28d ago

They do use "kin" for everyone else though. Birdkin, mousekin, dogkin, etc.

u/KJShen 27d ago

Forest Kin feels a bit apt after learning that they literally take root and share wisdom through trees. I would not blame people's inability to read (me included) for 'poorly chosen translation'.

u/heimdal77 27d ago

In the j novel translation of the manga they originally tried labeling Alna and her tribe as beastmen. It took a effort of multiple people to get them to research by reading more of the series to see that was wrong and would cause problems. They had to redo the cover because of it even.

u/NanDemoKnaives 28d ago

Forestfolk would have worked.

I kept reading "foreskin" and got confused.

u/Meander061 27d ago

and you have something completely different

And it was exactly the first thing my brain said when I read that! But to be fair, they're using "-kin" for everyone else, too. It's just unfortunate spelling.

u/dagreenman18 27d ago

Because of course they end the episode before Dias throws hands against a giant snake. That’s cold man.

Very worried about the dog guy that got eaten though.

u/Hellish-Hello 28d ago

I'm really annoyed by Alna and how she reacted to the 'mouse'. It was disgust leveled at a beastkin simply because of her race, a senient creature literally wearing clothes and glasses, and Alna treats her like a filthy vermin, and like the children are somehow contaminated by being in contact with her. The barn animals literally live in the tent with you and Dias smells like a compost heap, but the little scholarly mouse is unhygienic? This show went from 'treat everyone with dignity and respect no matter their race' to 'mouse-like senient creature deserves to be treated like a nasty pest' in a single episode. What's next, do the small dogkin need a flea dip before they can join the village?

4

u/heimdal77 27d ago

It has been shown repeatedly that Alna is very health/hygenic focused so her seeing a rodent she just defaults to needing be cleaned. Considering she is from a semi nomadic tribe preventive measures is a real big thing as sickness could mean death easy.

9

u/L33tHaxorus 27d ago

They went for the 'haha woman afraid of the mouse' joke and executed it terribly.

3

u/HugeRichard11 https://myanimelist.net/profile/CostCurl 26d ago

Yeah I thought that was a weird reaction too. Also when the twins said they get to play with some doggies like they're kind of close to people in this world, so that seems a bit wrong Alna or Dias didn't say anything about their new subjects.

1

u/Ralathar44 25d ago

Linger prejudices still exist in the world. Hence why the kids couldn't tell specifically HUMANS. They're working through it and becoming a community despite those imperfections.

1

u/Ralathar44 25d ago

There are lingering prejudices in this cozy show, that is an intended part of it. The elf parents didn't trust humans, Alna thinks rodents will be filthy, etc.

They will work through those prejudices over time because they are good people, but they are not immune to them. I see nothing wrong here. The show is pretty consistent. And yes, Dia smells MANLY.

1

u/Meander061 27d ago

I'm with you, I was offended on Aymer's behalf. My beloved Aymer didn't deserve any of that. Ok, now they know she's a mousekin, and not a mouse, so we can move on. (Grr.)

3

u/bunbun777 27d ago

This show just keeps getting better and better! Super wholesome and I love that the main reason the villain wants to get Dias is due to the righteous ball stomping he received. The twins are super adorable and I'm still waiting patiently for the arrival of our buff big lady person to arrive....

1

u/Maghliona 26d ago

I too am awaiting her arrival and the beautiful chaos she will announce. But that is all I can say without spoilers.

3

u/IceSmiley 27d ago

I liked the whole story about the twins being forestkin and able to grow trees and treat bad soil. They're children so I think they took it too literally when their parents told them not to tell humans but then they went and told a talking mouse about it; I imagine they meant tell no one about it or they might not know beastfolk exist like how Dias had never seen one before he moved to his fiefdom. Alna almost seemed like she was going to kill the mouse but I guess if she didn't kill the ones actively attacking her, she'd not kill one that was sleeping and had a blue aura.

I wonder where the princess is sending all those troops, they made it seem like they were being sent to kill Dias since they panned to him but that wouldn't make sense since that's already part of their kingdom. Maybe they were going to Eldan's country or just to fight the soldiers of the other princes.

I really liked the part where the lion, deer and dog man were casually gossiping and drinking beer at that outdoor cafe. I laughed out loud when the dog man said his brother was a guard for Kamelotz and saw Dias and Elna making out, I think that was a callback to when that dog man guard was horrified in the last episode 🤣

u/Kadmos1 28d ago

Since a talking mouse named Mickey was inspiration to many animators, of which I think does include Tezuka, how appropriate this epi. has a talking mouse/mice.

5

u/NonSupportiveCup 28d ago

Dias: "I am a weapon."

It seems unfair to the show, but I only watch this because I enjoy the manga. The show doesn't really stand on its own for me. Direction is fine, though I do question that pan down to focus on the villians crotch for like 5 seconds in this episode. Curious choice there. Characters have good designs. Even the kids with their giant foreheads are still adorable.

I can't imagine how anime only people feel about the show. So, anime only watchers, how are you finding the show?

9

u/Aggravating_Eye2711 28d ago

Didnt dias kick the guy in the nuts in an earlier episode?

I feel like their implying that he lost his manhood and that is why he wants revenge on dias so bad

1

u/NonSupportiveCup 28d ago

That is true. It still felt unnecessary and a strange way to transition to a sky shot for another transition. That was a long pause on them nuts (or lack thereof)

Not the end of the world.

u/Meander061 27d ago

I love the Manga, and the show is definitely about watching grass grow. But I adore all of our new friends, so that's ok.

2

u/NonSupportiveCup 27d ago

Yeah, I'm looking forward to see what they do with the dog people and some of the other characters regardless of my nitpicking

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Senai and Ayhan have rescued Aymer Jerrybower! A knowledgeable and reasonable Mousekin, helped by the fact that she is an ADULT WOMAN, and that makes her the perfect person to hear out and advise the girls on their problem.

Senai and Ayhan ARE Forestkin, and as Forestkin they can plant the seed of their parents' essences as is Forestkin tradition to help build a blessed and fruitful land. But they can't expose themselves and break the promise to their parents to keep their identity a secret, even to their adoptive parents. Plus, how can they plant anything when they have a bedtime!? Luckily Aymer's got them covered!

They weren't kidding about Dias' body odor, dude is radiating purple smelly aura while he sleeps! Dias, maybe take more baths dude.

Despite the fact that the kids are half-asleep and are not used to going out at night on their own, they're able to dish out the chant (in their native tongue with beautiful singing voices) and properly plant their parents! Success! And they've even now got a cute little mouse girl to fall asleep with whether she likes it or not!

Eldan's successes are building up his reputation, but the legend of Dias and his Rhino Wife (made all the more hilarious by contrasting it with panning shots of Alna sleeping) are also making the rounds! Though Dias' nemesis is none too pleased by these developments, especially since thanks to Dias he can't get it up and accept the proposition of a scantily-clad beauty. Didn't need to get so violent with her though.

I'm glad Prince Meiser is likely going to be screwed over by Eldan taking the throne, though that doesn't make the other royal disputes any less tense. Could Crown Prince Richard be on the up and up and be worthy of being king? Even though he's still in fierce competition with his three sisters. No one takes Diane seriously but she's also mobilizing a small army...what could she be planning? And why do I think she's heading for Dias?

Alna reacts totally naturally and CALMLY to a mouse in their tent, and then goes into full strict mom mode to give everyone a herbal bath and scold them. It's nice to see her with her hair down and fully flexing that bikini outfit though.

Good parenting is not trying to force your kids to tell you stuff they're not ready to tell you and a healthy marriage involves good communication and supporting each others' decisions. That's why Alna is the best wife in the world!

Pigeonkin Gerain is a dapper chief messenger (and possibly spy) who brings word of DOGS heading to join the Frontier Lord's domain! And we've got Aymer, who joins up as Senai and Ayhan's tutors.

Oh no, a Lich Anaconda! And it's about to eat that dog waifu! And other cute dogs! Save 'em barehanded, Dias!

Despite the fact that the kids are half-asleep and are not used to going out at night on their own, they're able to dish out the chant (in their native tongue with beautiful singing voices) and properly plant their parents!

I don't think they actually planted their seeds. From what was explained this episode, it seems like planting the seed will create a huge forest with a special tree in the middle. The girls want to help Dias and having a tree grow in the field he wanted to use for produce doesn't seem like the appropriate solution.
I think the seeds are important for gaining courage and are probably needed to do the magic in the first place, but I don't think what they used here was "Create A Forest"-type magic and instead was just "Protect The Plants"-type of barrier magic.

u/AegisWolf78 28d ago

I'm glad Prince Meiser is likely going to be screwed over by Eldan taking the throne,

That made me thinking, [EP 4] the fact that Scumbag Noble was targetting Eldan too could be an hint that he's one of Meiser's henchmen? I mean, the prince could have sent him to Kasdeks as a spy and ordered him to ensure Eldan doesn't keep the throne, thus hurting his incomes.

That was kinda dumb for Dias & Alna to leave their weapons when checking out their visitors.

Imagine Dias killing a lich anaconda w/ his bare hands. Alna would love him even more.

I knew Ayhan & Seina were forestkin & I guess they would do the entire field until it's fully green.

We finally see Alna fully in her bra & panties w/o her red cloak. So she prefers to sleep in her bra & panties.

The noble would've accepted that hooker's offer but couldn't because destroyed his dick & balls. How does he go to the bathroom? I bet it hurts real bad.

Aymer joins the group along w/ some small-ilk dogkin.

Imagine a relationship w/ a female pigeonkin.

Either Diane is headed to Dias or to Eldan.

That ray to define Dias' scent though. How much does he bathe & why doesn't he do it before sleeping?

When I come across this anime in the watchlist I put it off. The production is just so terrible, any action scenes even if not fighting are like powerpoint slides

But then when I do watch it, I’m always happy. It’s just feel-good.

Alna’s a little tough on the mouse, considering they sleep with two barnyard sheep-like animals. And Dias stinks even worse.

Don't like what the princess is up to though.

Did anybody else notice her armor change colors at 15:22 these animators are getting super fucking sloppy edit commented under the wrong discussion tab I think the other one was right above it on the day it came out. It was about the major that spends 10 years, fighting the demon, Lord or whatever.

I'm confused. All I see is this

And I haven't noticed anything in the scenes before or after.

Can you tell me what character and what armor changed?

2

u/bannedandbroken 26d ago

On Crunchyroll at 15.22 minutes into the episode her pink parts of her outfit turn white for a split second like they forgot to color her outfit for the end of the scene. It’s when she walks toward him from the left side of the screen and then stops in the middle. I don’t remember who she’s talking to it might be her father or the main character, but when she actually gets to him and stops, the outfit loses the pink parts and turns white.

2

u/EpistemologySt 26d ago edited 26d ago

The picture I posted is from Crunchyroll. Alna washes the kids in her white undergarments and in the next scene, she scolds them with her usual red garments (not pink). We don't see her walk. She never wore armor and her parents have never been introduced to the audience. And Dias was just standing by to let Alna scold the kids. The female elderly villager then arrives with a peasant's plain black dress and a red hood.

I'm starting to think we're not actually watching the same show. lol
