A secret inspection...no wonder Roxy is dressed like that.

This episode felt like one long date between her and Fate. They got to spend a lot of time together even with some of the trouble at the market. That ending gives off an ominous vibe. Feels like they decided this episode would be about Roxy and Fate but I expect the story to move forward more soon.

Roxy is out on a secret inspection, and Fate was supposed to be working in her mansion, which she just called him to be his bodyguard. How convenient.

It's clearly a date of sorts between Roxy and Fate, not to mention Greed along with it, but the presence of holy knights almost hampered their progress. Surely, acting like lovers, this top-secret escort mission is proving to be tough for Fate. But a hearsay about a bag of goblin ears donated to the orphanage, that is definitely Fate in action, that has put people in peril.

The roaming monster (which is defintely Fate), people are speculating about who will it be, and some adventurers almost mocked Roxy to reveal her true self to them, whih they share the joy. With Greed's maintenance done, the Vlerick family is once again back on bad terms, especially with a kid who has lost his way and needs help finding his mother. It's people like this that spurs Roxy to protect the people, and Fate would gladly help her out. That said, Fate needs a disguise to walk around, and bought her the ore that contained bits of the gem she saw in the town.

These good times will not last long...

I hope Fate pay the price of gem instead of ore since it would not be fair to that merchant.

I can't stand this MC; he's as insufferable as any other generic fantasy MC, and he has the social ques of a walnut. He does understand that he's the only one that hears his sword right? Then there's no need to respond to every god damn jab the sword makes. Gave it three episodes and it didn't impress. 5/10 and dropped.

What a trash romance series. If you actually think about protag-kun as a mentally ill person out of his meds talking to himself and his sword it actually starts making some sense. Other than that, it's incredibly generic and boring.

In this episode, Fate is just escorting Roxy into the town. Roxy wants to investigate the unknown monster that kills all the goblins, who is none other than Fate in the last episode.

There is some boring romance and that's all in this episode.

Even without any action I think this episode was the best so far. An entire episode spent with just Fate and Roxy going through town together. These two are very sweet in their moments together with Roxy in disguise making things more casual. The awkward they obviously like each other trope is in full effect and makes every interaction cuter, the episode even through in them pretending to be a couple and people assuming them to be a couple. Both of which made me very happy to see, Fate and Roxy would make a great couple if they figured it out. I love how they stand up for each other, Roxy not letting that holy knight bully Fate for simply making noise as he walked by. Going to the local jewelry merchant was nice, Roxy naturally has an affinity for pretty looking stones. I liked how at the and of the episode while Fate couldn't buy A gem itself he got her some ore with that same color she likes on the inside. Both of them defending that kid from the Holy knight was a great scene. Roxy really got to see how normal citizens see these so called Holy Knights, either fearing or hating them. This isn't at all what her father wanted and Roxy knows she must make this all right. These scumbag knights are plotting something devious at the same time.

So this time we got the date episode.Roxy and Fate visited the town and Roxy saw how Holy knights treat others and how people perceive them.

There are some cute romantic moments between Fate and Roxy in this episode.Good episode.

I wouldn't say that it is bad, it's just bland. The dialogue is also just cringe in general, espically in this episode. And there's nothing much to say about the animation which is just bad in the first two episodes.
What's making me continue this, is the "Greed & Gluttony" part of this serie which is interesting.

I'd give it 4/5 if it didn't rely so heavily on miscommunication as a trope - him audibly telling his sword to shut up so Roxy thinks he's talking to her. Yet at the end he telepathically tells it to be quiet, showing that he doesn't need to vocalize communication and it was done just to mess with the romantic tension dynamic for comedic effect (which was over done within two minutes). So because of that lazy writing, it's only a 3/5.

Stop talking to the sword, boy! At least when people around. And no one recognizes Roxy? She´s a good person, but people fear Holly Knights so much that they probably don´t really dare look at their faces long, and Roxy might not be an exception here. That´s the only reason it comes to mind for people to not know who she is.
It´s been fine so far, I was expecting it to focus more on the violent side, but still fine.

well theres definitely "enough" difference in this one to keep me interseted

for now


at least the MC isnt running around one shotting everything, and he seems like he may actually have to struggle a bit... not to mention the possibility of him eventually attacking Roxy

little things like that will keep me from dropping it








ps: ofc.... ONLY ONE of the Holy Knights other than Roxy is a girl....

Am I tripping or was the holy knight that helped Fate when he got lost also Roxy? Her hair was short and this was five years ago but her younger self looks similar to her current self. There is the possibility that that may have been an older sister but I doubt it. Kind of interesting that the female love interest is just a bit older than the MC.

Oh you mean that scene where she, after fighting off a dude that would've had his way with her if she wasn't as strong, went on a guild trip, completely ignoring that said guy was just about to have his way with any other unlucky girl that might have been there in her stead. And then all had a good time including Mr Recreational Rape.

Yea, that was totally not braindead.

You sound fun....like lots of fun to be around.
You do know that there are multiple ways to correct action and prevent escalation? And this was portrayed as one of them that fits her character. She also literally pushed the guy across the room immediately, I'd say she was aware of the situation and it's insinuation. You the type to probably beat your kid cause anything else would be braindead lol

I thought making the character so black and white in personality is already bad enough, now the MC is dumb enough to keep talking back to his sword when he's with someone.

Im a bit unclear on how that mask will work but i guess we will see. Im assuming it makes the person wearing it look like a different person but not the same person to who looks at them.

What the hell is up with the flashback? Please tell me that was not Roxy, but her mom or something. . . But if it was her mom, why does she look so young?

Also, whoever did the scene of Roxy gazing at the mom and boy walking away. You have my flowers, that was fantasticly beautiful!!

That talking repeatedly to the sword was not necessary. And Roxy's reaction was out of character, she should've been angry or weirded out or maybe suspicious, not sad??? She has a very strong personality and background. It really felt like the author had to make her weak for MC so they can romance.

Also, the "inspection" interaction with Roxy was so bad. The embarrassment between the 2 was painful to watch.

Worst episode so far

well... i agree with all the people saying it is bland.

characters are all generic. they do not have anything that makes me want to know them more. well, greed is a bit different because there is a layer of mystery to it as its history is unknown at the moment. male mc is meh. female mc is cringe (for me).

the character designs and animation are fairly nice though. but that's about it i guess. story ain't much either.

Decent episode although it was a little slow and I was not expecting romance in this but Fate and Roxy definitely had a date. I was also a bit annoyed when Fate kept talking back to his sword and Roxy could only hear Fate so he should've just gone quiet after the first time Roxy thought he was talking to her.

The Vlericks made a cameo and were they trying to kidnap that kid?! Also at the end they talked about an excursion to Galia, curious to see what that's about. I did miss watching action sequences in this episode so hopefully we get some in the next episode.

With Fate constantly talking to his sword after every jab even though he knows that only he can hear it, quite annoying. Definitely a rough episode for this week.
