Well one case solved but a cliffhanger at the end of the episode i guess things are heating up in his original world now.
Anyway the episode itself was a bit to much negotiation in my opinion so it could have been better.
And i wanted to see more of the girls, hopefully we get that next time.

Maybe there's no time dilation anymore, which would make it harder for Sasaki to keep two jobs on two worlds.

I'm surprised by the fact that no one talk about how Marc shouldn't be in a jail in the first place since the justice system must not judge a person by simply based on accuser. Well, it's undeveloped absolute monarchism nation after all.

Finally, a peaceful resolution through careful planning and brilliant maneuvering.

Now hopefully the story get back to the actual interesting stuff, the magical girl.

With Marc's execution drawing near, the final negotiation between all parties to save the former's life, there is but one twist: Prince Adonis.

The reason why: Sasaki's meals, and the price of Marc's release and the reason of his imprisonment. Still though, Dietrich lays out the price of Marc's pardon: 1000 large gold coins as proof, and every one of them accounted for, which Sasaki has already prepared for: half the amount current and the other half in a week. Marc at this point is invaluable to Sasaki and the Kingdom of Herz, and everything will still go back to Peeps either way as the Star Sage, and he managed to strike a chord out of both values and interest for kingdom relations between nobility. Eliminating the entire ransom immediately is his result, and Hermann might've raged into a counteroffer, though Joseph coming in unannounced as a big figure is not something they would've expected to meet.

Unexpectedly, Joseph was taking care of Sasaki's issues behind the scenes whilst making his business in Lunge, and with all of the truth out, even the Marc Trading Company is no longer a secret. In the end, what goes around, comes around, with Dietrich's huge loans from the war, which against all odds it was done.

What's the deal with Shizuka then thereafter?

A good end to this storyline thanks to a very well crafted plan by Sasaki and the help of his powerful allies.

We also got a nice little cliffhanger at the end, let's see what happens next week :)

Ahhh, breaking out the big guns in order to successfully steer the situation in a better and more fair direction- smart. It’s like bringing parents into a sibling squabble 😂
Still, bold of Dietrich to try to swindle them out of that much money in front of the Prince. He really underestimated Sasaki though! I don’t know how I expected this to pan out, but this awesome!

Glad that in the end that Marc was saved. But the true MVP this time was the Kepler trading company. Amusing seeing Dietrich and his toad be left speechless by Sasaki's skill at forward planning. And man his plans truly were impressive.

Man, what the... did I watched?! 😂😅
Sasaki really outdid himself but we didn't get to see how he did it, unfortunately.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Really enjoying this series, and liked the solution to free Marc in the end (and it's also kind of funny that building the Marc Trading Company was a complete shock to everyone else 😂).

Nice episode, and also nice to have an episode focused on progressing the fantasy setting side of things more 🕴️🐥

Thankfully this fantasy world political negotiation arc is finally over. Marc is cool and all, but never really cared for him enough to want multiple episodes dedicated to his release.

Sasaki did a great job of using the count’s logic against him and beating him at his own game. Dietrich was an annoying asshole, but at least still had some attachment to the ideals nobles supposedly strive towards. When we find out about his debt situation it makes everything make more sense, still don’t like the guy though and using Marc as collateral is scummy. Also think how brazen he was in front of Adonis is wild.

Joseph came in clutch. It is interesting to see the various political systems in this world. There’s feudal monarchies and capitalist societies like Joseph’s nation.. even Adonis started speaking formally and bowing to him. Guess cash rules everything even in this world.

Wild cliffhanger to leave off on, wonder what’s going on back home on earth?? Looking forward to more Japan stuff

Finally, all Sasaki's maneuvers are revealed and it paid off. Nice to see that he had multiple contingencies in place if one or two plans failed.

Now that I think about it, I'm guessing that truckload of stock products that Futarishizuka prepared in exchange for the gold bars was the stock we saw Sasaki bringing over to the Kepler Trading Company's warehouse where he met the Joseph's banking friend.

Looks like next week will be the start of a new arc.

I get that problems can't be solved instantly but that took WAY to long to save Marc. 4 episodes is a ridiculous amount of time considering this season is 12 episodes I really hope that the story picks up significantly in the next episode but that being said we only have 2 left so I'm concerned honestly.

Can anyone explain what Mr. Joseph did? I get that Count Dietrich borrowed tons of money and handed out promissory notes, but what's that got to do with Mr. Joseph? on what authority did he confiscate the notes?

So far the show seems to be way too much divided.

On one hand you have the psychic, magical girls and plot of secret agents trying to control the psychic population.
On the other hand you have a medieval world where nobles fight each other and a confusing plot, plus our hero that sells WAY TOO ADVANCED technology to these people and they just accept it without questioning anything.

Apart from the Amazon girl, there is no link between those two worlds really, it just feels like a slice of life but average, where it could be a very good plot ...

While I didn't fully understand the conversation that took place among the nobles, Sasaki, and the prince I know that Dietrich got played and Hermann was not pleased, plus Joseph showing up sealed the deal.

With only 2 episodes remaining and Shizuka in some type of trouble I hope that it doesn't end in a cliffhanger but having said that I doubt these last 2 episodes will tie up the loose ends.

In the end, business politics won in this battle of wits. Kind confusing what Kepler did but I guess TL;DR, they are actually now indebted to the company Sasaki founded (something like that). Anyway, this series season probably will end with resolving Futari's current trouble.
Sad it is about to end - not sure if this warrants a 2nd season (unless they already planned to make one) but lots of characters are left in the background that it will be unfortunate for the anime to just end and be forgotten. (I also cannot find an extensive manga adaptation for this light novel so this anime is the best we got).

Alright episode tbh Sasaki finally got Marc to be set free and I’ll be honest that was such a hassle for someone who didn’t even do anything wrong, the count just had it out for bro😭

Shizuka’s in trouble? I hope nothing happens to her she’s my favourite loli in this show😩🙏🏽

Ughhhhhh bro ikr 4 episodes is fucking WILD to save someone that nobody cares about and could’ve been saved in max 2 episodes😭🤦🏽‍♂️😭 I want to see the loli girls and see more psychic battles not some medieval shit (not saying it’s bad but compared to the psychic aspect of the show, it blows it out of the water💀💀💀)

I was expecting a good payoff but sadly that was not I had in mind. The Count did a 180, I thought he will stick through his plans until the end.

The animation in some parts did suffer badly.

Phew so much trouble for just one mob character. But damn to think that Dietrich have such an honor to retreat his ridiculous demand of one thousand large coins, even though at the end of negotiation, its needed a foreign country representative to seal the deal. It's all exhausting ngl, should just use the power of chubby starsage birb magic power to show the dominance. But, this is the story of Sasaki tho, so this is all just understandable we need Sasaki roundabout pacifist way to solve thing out...

Now since the fairy world trouble has been done. Our middle-aged magical man needs to return to Futari issue that start way sooner than i imagine. Not to mention there's still a mystery about Otonari-chan and Magical Girl Pink-chan as well. No time for celebration. Just work, work, and work, Sasaki-san!

So the conflict was averted but not in the way that Sasaki planned. The Prince pretty much saved the negotiations and with Sasaki being open about supporting the kingdom of Herz as a foreigner it made Count Dietrich have a change of heart. Kepler came in as a safety measure to attack Dietrich for his outstanding debt as a result of the draft for war. Episode was good to see unfold but wasn’t as I expected.

So they're just not going to address the attempted assault and then extortion? That's pretty disappointing
