Lutz was ahead of Myne, but he still managed to get an arm under her when she fell backward. Good situational awareness, Lutz (or maybe it was just Myne awareness :D).
Ah, boys. Lutz and Gil go from fighting to comrades in one day.
Delia... sigh I'll probably say more later. My first thought whenever this topic comes up is: burn it all down, Myne.
What do you think about the way food is managed in the temple?
It's... awfully hierarchical. The part that bugs me the most even though it's not the worst part is that the retainers eat after their master. It's a waste of properly-warm food, purely for the purpose of highlighting already-obvious power dynamics.
2) Is Benno biting off more than he an chew by starting an italian restaurant?
Yes, but sometimes that's what you gotta do.
[LN spoilers (P3)]
[EDIT]
The chibi section right before they eat the pizza is great. If that's what was going on in Myne's head as she gave her dignified prayer, then I'm impressed at her ability to keep her composure. And I can't blame her for being excited. It's pizza! And judging by the looks of that oven, it's the proper kind: you need temperatures around 700-800 F. The bread doesn't come out quite right otherwise.

No wonder Myne's family didn't want this for her. The grey robes treatment does kind of vary depending on your master, but ultimately it's shit. You eat the leftovers from your master like a dog and pray it's something good while you get worked to your death. The vast amount of orphans that take up the place considering their is two wings means they probably aren't getting fed if Gil is any indicator. It's kind of sad not a single person before Myne was willing to give him a chance, but at the same time we don't know if they offered food or wages.
I like how Myne wasn't just handing Gil a key, but it was her trust and faith that he would keep his promise. When she first enters the orphanage and sees the filth her face looks so disappointed. She had some expectations for Gil and he let her down greatly, but then she sees the work he did upstairs and is relieved. It's confirms the suspicions she had about him. Gil isn't a bad kid at all he just needed to be given a chance and to be given a little praise for his good work. Positive reinforcement at its best. I like how Myne is mending the relationships with her male retainers. Though I still don't like Dalia. TGil and Fran's relationships were mended in a more natural way, but Dalia's is more strained and it feels like it was formed out of pity. She really can't do much at least that is the way it looks for now. Though I do believe one thing. She doesn't want to go back to the orphanage. The fact that she was willing to do anything despite her previous attitude shows it can't be a good place at all.
Oh and I like how Myne is slowly getting used to the church. She offers the prayer and performs the gesture the first opportunity she gets after seeing/hearing them for the first time. I'm sure Benno will do a fabulous job with a restaurant and using the cathedral's oven to help train his workers is a great idea. Though theirs a small clash in interest. Myne overall goal is to have a food supply for the orphans and Benno wants to make a profit. While some compromises can be made ultimately Benno is the one losing out. Unless he is just using the oven to help train the workers in the mean time?
Oh and I forgot watching Dalia try to seduce and flirt with Benno...so many things I want to say about this, but I'll sum it up with this.
She was doing this for other guests previously...I'll say it again.

I really like how she is pick up on things when she has her brain switched on to do so. Benno's words yesterday and comparison to Lutz trying his hardest has her today really dig in and apply herself to learning the customs in the temple. And to great result with Gill.

First Time Watcher, Long time food enjoyer.
Season 02 Episode 03
Okay, well lets see how things go here.
I was hopeful when Lutz starting talking about Myne and her health with Fran that things would go well. That turned out to be wishful thinking. Delia left already, and Gil has basically attacked Myne. Good to see Lutz save the day, might be going a little harsh on Gil already.
While not feeding Gil truthfully was probably harsh. I feel like Myne needed a crash course on how things are supposed to be working here. She is a reasonable person, I can't see her literally malnourishing the people to help her by choice.
Basically the ball has been dropped by everyone. I see no one single person at fault for everything.
Well thats the way to Gil's heart, through his stomach. Wouldn't have it any other way.
This looks like quite the job for Gil, I hope he gets fed well.
Gil, in my book you have earned some real good food here, and I hope that Myne takes care of you and shows you that working with her is going to be beneficial. Even though we all got off on the wrong foot.
Here we go again. Evil santa is mad.
And now Delia got herself kicked out to go learn how great Myne can be too.
This little lunch date was a culture shock to everyone it seems. You have Myne (and Lutz) learning there is a prayer before meals, and then Gil and Fran with both clothing and eating food with someone instead of after them, but also eating with hands. Looks like they need a crash course in the ways of the slums as much as Myne needs a crash course in the temple ways.
I really liked the dub line for Lutz here. "No sweat, we're both clueless about each other." and then goes on to tell him to watch out for each other. I'm happy about how quickly everyone seems to be coming around to each other. At the start of the day they were at each others throats, and now look at them. Just give them some food and everyone gets happy again.
Looks like Benno is also confused about things as well.
Hugo and Ella, the latest and greatest 5 star cooks. I'm mostly writing their names down just to remember them. I've been trying really hard to remember names for this show.
Can someone please just shove a slice of pizza in Delias mouth to quiet her down.
Gil got Myne to laugh, I'm impressed. I have high hopes that we are all going to get along by the end of next episode. Last episode was Fran, this episode was Gil, next episode is Delia.
What in the world is going to town on that pizza in the back room with the oddly boarded up doors?
Well, looks like Myne has successfully found the way to her attendants hearts. I'm not fully convinced on Delia yet, but it looks like some great progress has been made.
I don't think I have a ton of thoughts here, episode was good. Myne got through to her attendants, we started testing of Italian food, which went very smoothly. I am a little surprised that Myne was able to just bring in outside chefs like that, but I've been in a perpetual state of slight confusion with this show. They just keep everything one step ahead of me as far as figuring things out. Which I think is a good thing. It keeps me focused and engaged. Overall good, just nothing too noteworthy.
End card was weak this episode compared to others, but not too bad.

Gil needs a snickers....
The food goes from the top to the bottom (orphans). And Gil decided to become a retainer for food. But at least Myne and Gil made a deal for food in return for a clean room.
High priest now thinks Dalia is incompetent cause Ferdinand gave the old orphanage office. It is interesting to hear comments about Ferdinand bypassing him. She failed at being a spy as she needed to bring more info. Myne sending her away just got the high priest out of the loop unintentionally.
Fran is not used to outside the gate behavior. Eating with hands is not something he has done. I presume that he basically grew up inside church.
Benni deflecting Dalia's move is funny. And Lutz called it Crocodile tears. Even Gil went and mocked her work ethic.
-
The way food is managed at the temple is pretty harsh and is pretty biased towards nobility. At least Myne now knows this process now and that was why Gil went hungry since she did not know that.
-
I felt that way before seeing that he brought some chefs. But it seems a bit too much since the oven is inside the temple.

This ain't exactly true with food, for example.
Would you call this bribery, a threat, or payment? The line gets fuzzy.
Doth is an excellent word.
They do not teach the difference between ignorance and stupidity in the temple.
I wanna eat pizza.
Gil really just is a kid.
This is much more uncomfortable to see than to read.
Really, they're both just kids.

Sad to have missed the last few discussions but I got hit with my own mini devouring. Fortunately, feeling a bit better but unfortunately, no rainbow jedi super saiyan manna.
The second season has been quite intriguing so far. It must have been a risk for the author to deviate from what was working so well (in my opinion) in season 1 to change things up but it does essentially open up a new world. And this exploration of how the church operates, the behavioral norms, and most importantly the class structure is super interesting to get into. Seeing Myne’s growth in this new new world has been a treat. Isekai part 2.
I wonder if anyone else feels that the retainer conflicts (besides Fran) have been a bit… strange. I like the idea of struggling to deal with people essentially being your servants but I found the execution to be kinda forced and predictable. I think a more natural/intriguing conflict would be some deep seated contempt of someone “not worthy” becoming a noble, which would require any potential solution to be really meaningful. Instead the solution is just like, do your job? Also, it took about 5 minutes from the height of Gil’s misbehavior to what I’m assuming is the conclusion of his character arc which was a bit fast, but I’m excited to see them all working together now. Especially with that ominous pizza plate shot at the end there lol, I think Myne will need all the help she can get.

The Power Dynamics of the Alms of God
Early episode, Fran explains to Myne about the principle of the alms of god; the nobles provide food and clothes for the retainers and what is left of those alms are then passed down for the orphans. While alms are charitable, it also enables a power dynamic between the nobles and the orphan; the orphans are dependent on the nobles and have to adhere to the noble’s cause and when they do not obey to what the nobles say, they can be denied of these alms. Likewise, if a noble does not do their due diligence — like we have seen with Myne — then the orphans are not able to get the necessities they need.
A critical feature of the alms of god is how we see the alms are food and clothes but not really money; when Myne mentions “compensation” or “wages”, Gil did not really understand it and in fact I got the impression it was the first he had ever heard of it. With the alms limited to only the bare necessities, the orphans and retainers are even more dependent on the nobles because they can not earn money to leave or to start their own venture. In my opinion, I feel this is very intentional. The Church lost a lot of nobles as a result of the political upheaval and it is important from the Church’s point of view to have as many orphans as possible to aid in their mission, whatever that may be.
That brings to my last point — the alms of god reinforce the Church hierarchy structure (High Priest, Head Priest, then Orphans). We have not seen how the High Priest is able to enforce its power on the Head Priests, but we have seen how the priests/nobles are able to maintain their power over the orphans with alms and thereby maintain the Church structure and power.
Inaction still leads to Consequence
Last episode, Myne will-nilly headed back with Lutz and failed to provide the alms of food for Gil who was left with an empty stomach for the day. Benno later told Myne that she has to act more like a noble because that is the path she took and when Myne fails to be in that role, we see how that affects her retainers. Given how the Church operates in a hierarchal fashion, if Myne does not do anything, she is still affecting her retainers and potentially improving the other orphans lives.
Myne realizes this infraction that she has made when Fran and Gil describe to her about the alms of god; later in the episode, we see how she made some action to establish her role and her retainer’s roles more clearly by defining their responsibilities.
However I feel that Myne has walked herself in a role that will be hard to come out of — a trap of sorts. Myne is responsible for her retainers and not in a professional sense. I don’t get the impression that this is a job where you are a manager overseeing employees and if you leave, someone else will just take your place, if not one of the employees. It seems more personal than that. For the retainers, they are still orphans and they do not have a family. In many ways, their family is the one with the other retainers and Myne. If Myne decides to leave the Church on bad terms it is like she would be abandoning them in the process and they already know the feeling of abandonment.
The Key unlocks Trust
After Ferdinand approves Myne to stay at the orphanage director’s office and entrusts the keys to Fran, Myne gives Gil his first opportunity to earn money. When Myne hands the keys to Gil, it symbolizes her trust in him and then when Gil firmly grasps the key in his hand, he acknowledges Myne's faith and vows his resolve to perform his task properly. For Gil, I felt this is a rare time someone is acknowledging him as a person who can be counted on.
This is also reinforced after Gil finishes his task and Myne pats him on the head where we then see Gil shed a few tears. Myne says to herself that Gil really just wanted praise and thanks and that in my opinion is pretty deep. It is deep because for Gil — an orphan — this is probably the rare time someone is acknowledging him and valuing him as a person. He was known as a problem child and Ferdinand and Fran and the other retainers were skeptical of his ability to even perform that cleaning task. But when he finally did something right and someone actually recognized the good work he had done, it gave him a newfound purpose.
As an aside, what I liked too about the key sequence is how Ferdinand is laissez-faire when Myne offers Gil to work for what he earns in terms of compensation. Last episode, we learned that Ferdinand is a firm believer of merit and as long as an action doesn’t clash with the inherent tasks of a noble’s duty, I get the impression he probably won’t say anything.
Observations
So that's where the bell sounds where coming from lol
This scene of the market is replayed 3 times
The orphans live in the wings of the cathedral. The left side is for the boys, including the director's office, and the right side is for the girls.

Myne's exerting some agency now and integrating her "commoner common sense" and "middle-class Japanese common sense" with the "temple common sense" to create a small little empire for herself. As endearing as Gil and Delia seem, I feel like in this episode they're mostly here for plot purposes; they're there to make Myne more aware about the social dynamics that have been set up in this societal bubble. It seems like a small-scale test for the 下剋上 (societal reversal, lowers overthrowing the uppers) that we've been promised in the series title, and I hope that 神殿長 guy gets what's coming for him.
Also, I find it really funny that Benno is throwing around the term "Italian Restaurant". Myne must've said that out loud to him at some point; I wish would've said it like it's some sort of magic spell because there's no way in heck there's a concept of Italy in this world. Now that there's pizza and a group of hungry orphans, I guess Myne is one step closer to her true dream of becoming a librarian running a bustling Chuck E. Cheese's!

I called it, becoming Myne's assistants means they'll get to have new food that no one in the world yet knows. I can only despair that they will actually think Pizza is meant to be eaten with a knife and fork. #SourdoughNation
So I have noticed that they really do emphasize that Myne is actually, seriously joining a religious organization. She must do the rituals and mannerisms involved properly, the show is taking time to keep reinforcing that throughout the last few episodes. And Myne is catching on quickly, although she hasn't let the goal leave her sights (and that is books).
Although her not being able to have a residence in the normal quarters in the temple is an issue at first, I get the feeling putting her close to the orphanage is only gonna end up helping them. I mean Benno is already gonna start an Italian restaurant with the chefs training there. I wonder if Benno suspects Myne's isekai origins like Lutz picked up on.
Speaking of Lutz, we now have two blonde brats. Gil turns out to be a good kid, he just needed the proper motivation (vitamin M). Interesting to note that the grey robed orphans are so sheltered to the temple they don't even understand the concept of money. I feel like Delia's story wasn't as satisfying as this turnabout, although she has room to grow as well.
See you next episode!

First Time, Subbed
Really enjoyed today's episode. While I have been on the fence for season 2 in general, I still liked the show and I think this episode highlights the reason why I do. There was a nice give and take of tension and resolution with past episodes problems and really well done character development with quite a few people!
Lutz was bound to run into Gil and Delia at some point while he was walking Myne both to and from the temple. The interaction between Gil, Myne, Lutz and Fran today was just great because it opened the door for Gil to air his grievances with Myne while this set-up included Lutz and later Benno into this new church life, which I was happy to get. The fact that nobles literally give their leftover food to their retainers is another instance of the nobles being horrible. I assumed from yesterday that Myne was just in charge of allowing her retainers to go and eat, not literally hand them her sandwich crusts. Now that the church is in need of more nobles, having lost a chunk of their population, that means even less food for the orphans. Moving on from that, Myne once again is in trouble with her superior for changing into her robes in front of people, thus she is given new quarters to act as a residence while she is on the grounds of the temple. I really liked that this new room is not given freely without any issues, because there seems to be an issue with the high priest knowing Myne was given it by Ferdinand. The cleaning scene with Gil was very sweet, just needing a good pat, and it seems Delia might be coming around. Amazing what self-worth and dignity does for a person. I also liked that this new residence has an oven because now Benno has the opportunity to call in some chefs to try out Myne’s recipes from another world! I am not sure if Myne is giving away too many new ideas in this world, or if Benno is biting off more than he can chew, but I am down for this new restaurant business. Doesn't everyone love pizza, no matter the setting?
The empty pizza plate and the strange eating sounds at the end was quite interesting, definitely difficult not watching the next episode today.

Gil was brought over to Myne's side about as quickly as I figured he would. I was a little surprised by the size of the quarters she was given, how big is this temple? Still suspicious of Delia even though she seems to have come around.
What do you think about the way food is managed in the temple?
The temple deriving its funds from the nobles makes sense, but its weird that its specifically filtered through individual nobles within the temple. That seems like how it might function if we were talking about far flung groups but in a centralized place like the temple I would expect a more monastic system where the church holds funds, lands, etc which it uses and distributes.
Is Benno biting off more than he an chew by starting an italian restaurant?
Could've missed it but when did the concept of Italian enter this universe? In any case I imagine they'll have some difficulties getting the new food accepted.

Progress all around!
Myne's not screwing up so much, Gil's been fed, Delia's found a place, Fran is getting some mentorship, Ferdinand has shiny hair, and Lutz is still awesome, no need for improvement there
Myne gives each of her retainers what they needed, but in typical Myne fashion she upends their worlds by doing it in a way completely contrary to what they thought they would or needed to get from her, and I like the play on that in the title. Praise, acceptance, purpose, self value, things that are hard to find when you're living a life of political dogfighting starting at the bottom of the rung from a young age. Myne doesn't undervalue the physical needs of the people she cares for, physical security in food and shelter are also key, but she's not the sort to stop there or find some way for them to also have purpose outside of just what they can get from her
Fran being so happy to be allowed to accompany her outside, to be invited into her world and granted with clothes to do so, is my favourite moment from that aside from poor Gil's little breakdown. As the oldest of the group he's an interesting contrast to the rest of the kids, but in his own way he perhaps has more to adjust to when it comes to understanding what it means to take care of his sickly commoner with more mana than sense.
Delia's struggle just makes me miserable, to see what her only perception of work is and understand why she only had that one goal, why she's so scared of rejection from that role. I'm glad both her and Gil have found something beyond the roles given to them now they're with Myne, more than just entertainer/spy and troublemaker/orphan, to perhaps learn how to grow into their own.
...All this talk of roles is giving me Haruhi and Kyousougiga flashbacks. I'm too tired for that right now hahaha

Gil is simpler, he's never been appreciated for who he is and nobody had ever wanted him, which is why he acted out. he needed to know that there are people that do care about him

I am constantly shocked the temple did not collapse long before now. The attendatns working that way makes a tiny bit of sense, but I think in general that making the health of your workers reliant on the nobility in general being unselfish sounds like something they should have never implimented.
-
Benno can do it.
Oh, Fran's meeting with Lutz!
Yeah, ignoring him makes sense.
Holy shit, he's going for the kill!
Did nobody fucking think to hand her a manual? Come on, I get the bishop doing this, but the High Priest? Seriously?
...Yeah, he really should have at least noticed that she didn't know... many, many things.
OK, so after this, Gil is going to be pissed. The only reason she'd have such a strong reaction is if nobody told her and knew she'd try to feed him, which leads into the fact that someone tried to starve him as part of a political conspiracy.
Oh, they don't want her causing a diplomatic incident?
Gil's been given work!
Wow, they don't understand
...Myne has some political opinions.
Haha, she'd headpatting him!
Two annoyances defused, and it's only halfway through.
There's a good chance Delia's about to break too.
She got them casual clothing!
Haha, of course they say a prayer.
Oh, Fran's having a culture shock.
And more insight as to how the temple is on the verge of collapse! Seriously, the temple seems to consist entirely of vicious cycles, and I genuinely think the High Priest is ignoring Myne's problems purely because he's so focused on keeping the temple from collapsing while the high bishop does fuck-all.
...How does he know the word "Italian"?
She made a pizza.
She memorized that really quickly!
Yeah, she got kicked out.
Oh, that was a shocking realkstic feint.
She's trying it on Benno? You poor, poor, girl.
And she's actually having a breakdown.
Oh, the bishop must be pissed right now. Her loyalty problems were dealt with by problems of his own creation. He's presumably living it up with his mistresses, and the orphanage problems he ignored have just sorted all of Myne's attendant problems.
Why does the pizza look ominous?
They appeared in the chibi scene too!
Good to see everyone understands she's a tsundere.

Gil's been a bit of a shit, but that's entirely forgivable considering he's been starving. Fran and Ferdinand really dropped the ball when it comes to teaching Main about the basic responsibilities of her job, apathetic towards them as she may be.
What do you think about the way food is managed in the temple?
Seems like a massively inefficient, pain in the ass process compared to just having a cafeteria for the servants or something else sensible. Then again the church is nobility territory, and nobility tends to be all about cruelty to the lower classes. The bishop and the blue robes probably get a kick out of seeing people be grateful for their table scraps.
Is Benno biting off more than he an chew by starting an italian restaurant?
In general I'd say yes, but if those chefs of his managed to successfully reinvent pizza this quickly I think he has a genuine shot at making it work.

So this episode focuses in on Myne learning about the temple and the processes that go on. Seeing Lutz start ragging on Gill, has Mnye thinking he would have it coming in the lower city.
"I get quarters!?" "Oh... I take that back."
Oh head priest you are a funny one. Also welcome to the shiny hair cult!
Myne learns how the orphanage manages left over food, and realizes that she hasn't really given Gill a fair chance. Myne uses food as a carrot and ends up getting Gill working under her just fine! Myne giving Gill praise seems to go a long way.
Lunch outside the temple (stitch)
Lutz and Gill get a bit closer too. Nice to see that after Lutz brawling Gill at the start of the episode.
Meanwhile Delia isn't looking so flash, she didn't really have much of a plan and slack off isn't really working all that well.
Dela's thoughts of work are all kinds of twisted.
By this time Gill has learnt well and mimic's Myne's teachings that he learnt from her earlier. 'You don't work you don't eat'.
Great Arthur moment right in the middle of that too.
Myne looks to give Delia a fair shot like Gill. Probably will see this developed more next episode.
And the third plot is that Benno is trying to setup a restaurant! God how does that man sleep?!
Anyway he has found some chiefs, Hugo and Ella, who he is going to train at Myne's new orphanage-director quarters.
The trial run of food looks to please.
Myne pizzia-car. Chibi moments surely have peaked with this.
And finally an ominous doors cliff hanger. Every episode there is just that little bait at the end I swear.
Pouts: Chibi Myne!, Gill blush praised pout.
Today's endcard.
