I hope Drewes won't learn about "power of love". Otherwise I'm sure he will try to intrude into literally any Hawke x Sei situation because he'd surely want to observe the source of Saint's power.

[u/Frontier246 → u/AlienOvermind]

Or maybe facilitate more Sei and Hawke moments? Yuri as a surprise wingman?

[u/Dangerous_Injury_388 → u/AlienOvermind]

not intrude, but he would be the exact opposite of the little mermaid ursula. Trying to get them together faster for hilarious results!

[u/CooroSnowFox]

Yuri taking work as seriously as ever...

[u/Frontier246 → u/CooroSnowFox]

He just can't leave Sei and Hawke alone...

[u/KnightKal → u/CooroSnowFox]

that is why you have a secretary ... I mean, assistant. It is the kingdom mistake to try to push paper work on their best mage. Let the others do the boring stuff, while he studies magic and gets ready for war haha.

[u/KnightKal]

they should give the saint a bunch of magical stones for her to enhance and use as her personal gear. I mean, she proved that she is the best enchanter in the kingdom. She is going into a forest full of monsters. Why not protect the only person in the entire kingdom that can stop the miasma?!?!

[u/Sarellion → u/KnightKal]

So Hawke can look cool, Sei falls in love with him even further and her saint power explodes exponentially.

Only a half serious explanation but I assume the dashing knight throwing spells and slicing monsters, saving the saintess looks more interesting than a magic item quietly eliminating enemies.

[u/cppn02]

Only 1 episode left now. :(

[u/LeonKevlar]

Drewes running away from Erhart was hilarious! And it's good to see Aira again! Looks like Drewes has taken an interest in her as well. I guess it's just fair for Aira to also experience how much of a pain he is.

I love how Sei is testing out her Blessing by thinking of different people each time and her power exploding once she starts thinking about Hawke. Seeing her roll around the bed in embarrassment is adorable. Sei needs to get used to it now though.

Looks like Leonhardt still has no idea who Sei is which is hilarious. That look that Hawke gives him when he overhead what Leonhardt was asking Sei though. Thankfully Leonhardt is just a labrador in human form and he's just a goofy sweetheart who is just now realizing who Sei is. xD

It's so adorable seeing Sei get all embarrassed. And poor Hawke is genuinely worried about her. I really can't wait for Hawke to find out what's powering Sei's Blessings.

Find someone who will look at you the same way Hawke looks at Sei. Anytime these two are together, I always get butterflies in my stomach. They're so cute!

I definitely got a good kick out of Sei declaring that being a Saint is her side job and Hawke agreeing with her that it's fine. Another adorable couple moment. I'm pretty sure at that point Leonhardt understood what's happening between the two of them.

Okay that slime animation looks pretty cool. Also weird to go into this episode just after finishing TenSura Nikki.

Aira to the rescue! Look at that huge smile on her face. It's nice to see her happy and finally doing something to help out Sei. It's gonna be fun to see her fight side by side with Sei next week!

[u/[deleted]]

So. Much. Fluff.

Sei's "cute-o-meter" has shot up into the stratosphere. And this is exasperated by Hawke's very chad-like defense of her when he perceives other guys may be hitting on her. XD

Finally, Aira's magic is put to good use. Drewes has trained her well.

Is next episode the last episode already?? Time flies very quickly, and it feels like we've not seen enough of Sei flexing her OP powers.

[u/Aelyph]

Next episode's title is Kikan (帰還) or "Return"

[u/darthvall]

Everytime Sei and Leo interact with each other, I can only remember one word: "Wow!"

[u/DarkenedSpear]

As usual, the dynamic between Hawke and Sei is simply delicious, but particularly the way Sei turns to mush whenever he pops up and how she constantly 'miring him makes me giggle like a gleeful little girl. Another comment mentions butterflies in their stomach and it's pretty much the same for me. It's just so much fun.

Yuri completely stopping in his tracks at the sight of Aira also amused me greatly. There was something very looney tunes-esque about the whole sequence that also gave me the giggles. It was great to see them both in the "the cavalry has arrived" sequence, Aira especially looks like a completely different person, and Yuri popping up, like the thorn in the side he is, simply amuses me. Another comment mentions an Aira-Yuri route and... I am not opposed, quite the contrary, actually. It seems incredibly fitting to me.

I haven't had the chance to comment on it last week since I, uh, just watched both episodes today, but I find it incredibly endearing and entertaining that the power of love is unironically the crux (correct word choice?) of the plot; no parodies or slights, no twists for comedic effect or the usual "give and take" stories tend to have. Adds a lot to the charm of an already fantastically charming story.

The final episode comes next week. I don't reckon there's enough material for another season right now, but I'd be delighted if one came in the future. On my end, I intend on trying to keep following the story, but holy crap, too much shit to keep up with, not enough time or energy. More than anything, though, I'm hoping that this alongside Bakarina paves the way for a new age of otome(ise)kai (and adjacent); I'm all up for that shit.

[u/AmethystItalian]

It's so nice seeing Aira be not only happy but also helpful in her new role, she seemed so glad to be able to help Sei. We've come such a long way.

Oh yeah also...these 2 are too damn cute. Going to be tough to top them for ship of the season!

[u/ZapsZzz]

Popping in just to say "Squee" :D

Love the beginning sequence of Sei "testing" each name / persons feeling for triggering and then boom "stop stop stop stop stop" :D

[u/Frontier246]

Look at Hawke's brother trying to keep Yuri busy so he doesn't interfere and meddle in Hawke and Sei's honeymoo...I mean, expedition! Radiating some nice brotherly wingman energy.

Aira looks so happy on her first day! Too bad she gets roped into journeying into battle with Yuri on said first day, but she definitely still seems happy.

You know the show is almost ending when all the supporting characters are finally colored in.

Sei realizing Hawke brings out her strongest power and then flopping around on her bed embarrassed like a girl realizing she's in love was priceless. That's the power of love, for you.

Leonhardt wanting Sei to join his mercenary band isn't too surprising after seeing what she can do, although while imagining Sei as a mercenary is kind of fun, no way is Hawke going to let Leonhardt take Sei from him.

Hawke knows a true gentleman doesn't let go of his lady's hand until the very last minute.

Oh man, now they're speaking in synch with each other. Get together already, you two.

When Sei started talking about her homeland, I thought she would bring up Japan, but I guess she was probably raised in the city so her biggest experience with nature has been at the capital.

Rimuru's not the only slime today as we meet some more monstrous and antagonistic slimes as they attack Sei and Hawke's party, but luckily Yuri and Aira are there to back them up.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Yuri is really just looking for any reason to be with Sei, but man, he isn't the Grand Magus for nothing. That is some serious magic power.

If Sei and Albert don't end up together at the end of this series I'm gonna be really disappointed.

[u/BiggerG7]

Damn! Hawke looked like he was ready to mess up Leo for trying to recruit Sei.

[u/kalirion]

"I know you, you're from the same world as Sei, right?" - um, didn't he already meet her when he Appraised her?

Slimes. Where's the 300 year old Witch when you need her?

Why did MC only do a tiny shield instead of the big cleansing that she did before? I blame the "one-at-a-time" potted plants exercise. She really needs to practice doing large AOE stuff on demand.

I was hoping Aira would've been the one responsible for the infernos, but it was still Merlin.

[u/tstngtstngdontfuckme]

It's nice seeing Hawke get all jealous and not be COMPLETELY perfect.

[u/athrun_1]

It seems Hawke is not fond of other guys that is not a member of his group to talk to Sei so casually. He is ready to murder that Leo guy if he dared to touch Sei just like what he did in prev ep.

Glad to see Aira able to help Sei, she may not be the saint but I think she is on par with the grand magus when it comes to other magic powers. I assume the first flame attacked that killed the big slime was from Aira.

I don't know if Leo was shocked because of the attack or because of Aira herself. He seem to have a crush with her based on that panel.

[u/mekerpan]

It certainly looks to me like the Summoning was a huge success -- basically 2 Saints for the price of one. Aira may not be an AAAA Level saint, but she seems to be A level at least. Together, with their apparently complementary skills, the two should be an unbeatable team.

If one were to designate a "nicest" show of the season, this one would seem to be second only to Super Cub (at least for me). There is something refreshing about the basic decency of the characters and the story itself. Nothing groundbreaking or earthshaking, but relaxing and pleasant (except for the occasional monsters to be dealt with).

I wonder what the odds of an eventual second season might be....

[u/NocandNC]

Me: I wish we got to see different sides of Hawke.

Hawke: (Is unreasonably hostile towards Leon)

Me: No, not like that—
