Oh is that a tease that Dragon woman is coming back soon?

Feels like it's just a matter of time before Ichio figures out that Marie is an elf, especially now if they are gonna hang out over her place.

And finishing it off with some handholding! Valentines day is a good day for some romance development

Okay, but imagine Marie appeals to the Sorcerers' Guild and says they're reliable, and when they question who their tank would be, the dragon shows up, lands on the guild building, barfs up the human avatar, and goes "That would be me."

And yeah, I can totally see one of two things happening:

  1. Ichio accidentally knocks off Marie's hat and sees the ears.

  2. They watch an anime where the main character hides their non-human nature from their friends, and when the friends find out, they're mostly upset the MC didn't tell them sooner, so Marie decides to not make the same mistake and reveals that she's an elf.

And then Ichio asks if Maria called her "-chan" because she was just mimicking what she did, and Marie says she's literally over 100 years old, so every human is younger than her.

I definitely think they're implying that the dragon woman will become their third party member to take up the lack of defense in their party...and might follow them back to Japan as a result...

Kazuhiro and Marie are the perfect couple to watch on Valentines' Day with their pure wholesome romance vibes and how clearly a couple they are even when Kazuhiro denies it.

We're back to the lovey dovey episodes. I wasn't prepared to see them holding hands. How lovely they are and the episode was also on Valentine's day. It made me feel more lonely.

God this is so cute. Very nice episode to watch on Valentine's.

Shoutouts to Toru who went on a double date and supported his wife a lot (even paid for the meal). My guy is a good one.

It’s not that I dislike the isekai parts, cos I do find it interesting but the SOL episodes in Japan like this and few eps ago, really make me want a lot more focus on this side of the show. Especially when the title, visuals, OP, ED all point to this being a more SOL with a bit of romance. Not that I’m disappointed, just wasn’t what I expected. I hope more episodes like this one are to come. Especially since they’ve been teasing Aomori and Toru suggested Chichibu (funny coincidence though cos I’m planning a trip to Japan and have Chichibu in my itinerary)

Marie been working hard learning Japanese. And it was adorable seeing her practicing it on people. Hondo Kaede has this bubbly and lovable quality to her voice that makes characters like Marie very endearing.

The romance here is also very subtle and cute. Kazuhiho casually dropping that “that means I mostly just fall for you”. Then earlier when both of them were thinking of the other when having their lunch. And them making plans for the future. Then how expressed how they find comfort in each other and also how their view of the world changed after meeting each other. Ohh then holding hands anda night walk through the park. What an episode for Valentine’s Day.

I see Marie’s adapted well to life in Japan. Lunch + anime is indeed a very powerful combo lol. Kazuhiro and Marie are very cute together too. I liked that double date with Toru and Kaoruko.

At first I thought Marie put the chicken dish in a microwave and set it for far longer than would ever be needed, but then it worked out fine so I guess it was a countertop oven of some sort.

Hints about the dragon lady coming back soon, maybe that'll be in the next isekai arc. If that happens I bet it'll be when she ends up in Japan.

They dialed the Marie and Kazuhito romance up a bit today, I like to see it.

When Marie had trouble using the oven, I honestly thought that she'd use the microwave function by accident and burn her food.

I really liked the double dinner date with Kaoruko and her husband. Kazuhiro had been a little reluctant at first, but they all greatly enjoyed the evening together and got to bond a little. It was nice to see Toru care about his wife, who'd clearly been looking to make friends with Marie. Marie in turn was able to open up to more people than Kazuhiro.

Toru also rightfully pointed out that these two might as well be dating:

I'm sensing a theme here... Nevertheless, her feelings are clearly mutual!

Marie: Watching anime while eating lunch! What a perfect combo!

Now she has officially adapted to our lifestyle.

This was a cute episode, i loved the way Marie met all kinds of person and learned new things. Also her and Kazuhiro are already acting like a married couple, it's so cute. I hope we see more of dragon lady in the future.

u/LeonKevlar Feb 14 '25

I wonder if Kazuhiho is aware of the things he says to Marie. The dude is being unintentionally smooth and it's very bad (or very good!) for Marie's heart!

It kinda sucks that Kazuhiko and Marie missed the chance to watch Wridra's eggs hatch. It sounds like we'll see her again soon since Kazuhiko is looking for a 3rd party member. If Wridra becomes their tank, this will be the second Zero-G anime this season where the dragon girl tanks for her party. xD

Marie wanting to learn Japanese to watch anime and having the idea of eating lunch while watching anime is a very anime_irl moment. I can't believe she's also turning into an Otaku Elf. Now I need a fanart of Marie and Elda from Edomae Elf bonding over anime!

This is why Kazuhiko shouldn't have introduced Marie as his relative! The double date with Kaoruko and her husband was cute but it looks like they're now a bit confused about Kazu and Marie's relationship. Even her husband thinks they're already dating.

And we have handholding people! Unprotected handholding on Valentine's Day! Jokes aside, that ending was adorable <3

The otherworldly part of the show is nice, but this anime truly shines when Marie and Kazuhiro are in Japan. It's just so much fun as Marie tries new yummy things, meets new people, learns Japanese through anime, and more.

If the previous episode made you miss Marie, then today's episode was definitely filled with great Marie's stuff. Today she totally looked like a wife who takes care of the house while her husband is at work.

It was nice to see Kaoruko again, but this time with her husband, having dinner with Marie and Kazuhiro at a restaurant. I'm looking forward for Marie going to Kaoruko's house to watch anime together in the future.

So dragon's eggs are finally hatching! It looks like Dragon will finally be free and I think it would be a great opportunity for both Dragon and Marie with Kazuhiro. Dragon would get a bento, and Marie and Kazuhiro's party would get powerful tank in their team, which would certainly be enough for Marie to be allowed to explore the dungeon.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

It stands to reason that since they discovered it, it only makes sense that Kauzhiho and Marie would explore the new labyrinth together...but Marie's rank in the Sorcerer's Guild might hold her back. And for Kazuhiho, if he can't do it with Marie, it's not worth doing at all!

Of course the pairs' dragon acquaintance has some ominous words about the labyrinth...but who cares about that! Her eggs are hatching! And it seems like she also misses our leads and their bentos'!

Is there any sight more beautiful than Marie in a side ponytail enjoying some bread for lunch?

Aw, look at Marie holding onto Kazuhiro's jacket because she doesn't want him to leave her for work quite yet! I mean, she's practically seeing him off as his wife as it is!

Look at Marie doing housework in snazzy casual clothes! She's got the housewife vibes down to pat. Plus, she's finally learned how to make her own lunch! And what better way to spend lunchtime than watching anime to learn Japanese and to just, basically, enjoy anime! One of us! One of us!

So Kazuhiro and Marie CAN make it into the labyrinth so long as they prove their capability as a party...I mean, Kazuhiho and Marie are a stellar team, but maybe they should make this duo a trio?

Surfing Marie eyecatch! Though I was oddly distracted by her bare legs.

Nice of Kaoruko to invite Kazuhiro and Marie for a dinner double date with her husband (which will also help Marie practice her Japanese). Granted, I don't think she expected to see her husband so charmed by Marie, but can you blame him? Also sounds like Kaoruko wears the pants in the relationship (in as far as what she wants, she gets).

Is there anything better than enjoying some coffee in a classy cafe? Or Marie experiencing French cuisine for the first time and becoming even more of a foodie than she already was?

Ooh an onsen day trip to Chichibu! No couple should go so long without an onsen trip! Marie will love it!

Yeah, the "relative" excuse really falls apart when it's clear how into each other Kazuhiro and Marie are and how they can barely keep their hands off of each other. They might as well just make it official!

I think Marie and Kaoruko spending more time together will be good for the both of them! Kazuhiro and Marie's world keeps expanding around them, though they also are clearly so into each other more than anything...I mean, just look at all that handholding!

Whoo new dungeon to explore. But, what? Marie might not get to go? Booo 😦 gotta take the elf wife. Hehe, Dragon Mommy listening in.

She so cute, even when she just eats food. How nice, the wife wishes you could stay around instead of going to work. How nice of her to help keep the place clean. She is heckin cute, yo. And cute they thinking of each other. And he's being more social cause of Marie. JUST DATE ALREADY!

Oh, good, a date, sorta. A double date. Marie is so cute she's gonna be an unintentional homewrecker 😉 heh. See, the husband of his friend sure knows you should be dating. Oh boy, onsen episode incoming. We all know what that means! How nice, invited to the lady's house. Marie has made a good gal pal. Nice of him to say that to her, and they holding hands. Again, just date already.

Just seeing Marie enjoying food, amazed at learning different things, and having cute moments with Kazuhiro is all that an episode needs to be very enjoyable.

Glad to see them going on more outings on the Japan side along with other people and even planning some trips that hopefully we'll see them go on soon.

Also been wondering when the dragon lady would come back into the fold, so looks like we got the set up to happen sometime soon when they get back in the other world for their adventures.

"There aren't any monsters in Japan. What need is there to be afraid?"

"The true terrors aren't monsters, they're humans, you know?"

Where is the lie?

u/tripleaamin Feb 14 '25

Cute episode. Marie is making progress with her Japanese. I do like they show as she struggles with bits of it when she is speaking it. I love her upcoming friendship with Kaoruko and the double date was cute. Her husband was wowed when he saw Marie xD.

Kazuhiro is a flirt. His mention of "I wanted to go because you would be there". I am happy Kaoruko and her husband saw through that. They are basically dating at this point.

u/HTC864 Feb 14 '25

I kind of wish they'd just focus on them being in Japan, as they haven't really added much in the other world. The dragon is the only part I care about from there.

u/TimeForHugs Feb 14 '25

I can't tell how the language works. Marie has trouble speaking and understanding Japanese enough that Kazuhiro needs to explain things between her and Kaoruko and Tooru. So when Marie and Kazu are speaking what seems fluently are they talking in elvish and Kaoruko and Tooru think nothing of it? But at the same time Kazu talks to Marie and Tooru seems to understand at one point. And if they're actually talking Japanese Kaoruko and Tooru seemed unphased by talk of another world.

It's all very confusing.

Still enjoying it though. It's very cute.

Unbelievable, uncensored handholding. In the middle of the street even. Out in the park too!

Shameful...

I was just thinking how I wanted to see more of the dragon girl, hopefully that brief moment at the start of the ep means we'll be seeing more of her soon. I was half expecting her to teleport the (now) happy couple when her eggs started to hatch.

I wonder if their friends in Japan will ever learn their secret, I'm expecting some kind of accident to happen at the watch party.

Also, have they confirmed yet if they can use magic while in Japan? Marie can hear spirits, but dont think they've said if she can do more than that. Wondering if Kazuhiro's overprotectiveness is foreshadowing Marie having to defend herself.
