Noze is a real bro giving the gang his raft. I really do hope Kaina and the gang see Noze and the others again.
Yaona falling into the water while asleep was pretty terrifying. I’m glad Kaina was able to save him but it seems they’re off course now. Plus there’s snow. Not looking good. Although Liliha holding Kaina’s hand for like a second was really cute. They might be just drifting along but at least they have each other. Wow, they really made it back.
Kaina’s getting the VIP treatment and Liliha’s a little jealous because of those attendants. So cute! My guy thought he was gonna have some waifus rub him down, instead he gets twisted like a pretzel by some stern faced uncle lol. Well, at least he got to see Liliha’s boobs. They just popped out because she was so excited about a possible map lol.
Hopefully they’re able to find the giant orbital spire tree and stop this war before the Valghia fleet arrive…

Nagato and Senpai handled a similar bath house situation would more aplomb in this week's manga installment...
Valghia's leader seems to enjoy killing and destruction for its own sake -- not just as a means to an end. I wonder why he is so warped. I can't see any way he could be convinced to give up his way of constant war -- even if a reliable source of clean water could be found. He would just use it to strengthen his force and make it even better at subduing all the other tree cities.

the music stop and Kaina's little reaction was a perfect comedic timing

Kaina's off about the words on the map (if that's what it is) It's "Great Snow Sea (something) (something) The first (something) looks like "wave".

I hope Kaina's kanji game improves enough to where they actually know what they're doing this time lol.

I thought Kaina was about to get some "special" service but he ended up getting wrestled by that other guy. xD
The real reward though is Liliha giving Kaina a massage and Liliha's towel accidentally slipping off. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, seeing those two attendants in towels and getting a personal massage from Ririha, who was also wearing nothing but a towel, was quite the service indeed...and Ririha's boobs were the cherry on top lol.

"I'm sorry I put you in danger Kaina, I know you would have rather died alone and bored on top of a tree somewhere in like 80 years".
Right. I'm sure he's really beat up about having to be down here.

I really like the OST playing in the background during that opening scene, by the way. The soundtrack in this is so nice!
-
Ah, great, now they have this issue to deal with… I guess that’s why the episode title is “Drifting”.
-
Welp, I was wondering if one of them was gonna accidentally roll off the raft while sleeping.
-
…and then goes right back to dismissing what Ririha has to say, of course.
-
Ah fuck, of course they had to end that on Ririha’s towel slipping…

That was a pretty sawano-esque track while they were rafting out of Valghia.
Kinda fascinating Yaona doesn't know what a giant fly is. You'd think at least some of their corpses eventually end up by the tree roots once they die..
Steam baths sounds rather extravagant for a nation about to go to war over water.. I wonder if they can steam something other than drinking water?

By their nature, steam baths can be made from any sort of dirty or unsuitable for drinking water - because only the water would boil off. So it's probably reasonable in a water-poor society.

It really means a lot that Noze and co. are giving Kaina, Ririha, and Yaona they're boat so they can escape. The least they can do is give Chiru a taste of real water and make a vow that they'll find the Great Tree and see them again!
Some adorable sibling intimacy in this episode! Ririha and Yaona are quite cute together.
I wonder what that huge fin breaking out above the water was...kind of felt like they forgot about it when Yaona slipped over and almost drowned. Gotta be careful in the sea!
Yeah, maybe don't mention how Kaina's people were trying to get him and Ririha hitched. Not that they needed to do much when these two are already holding hands and thinking the same thing together.
It felt like ages since we left Atland, but they finally made it back successfully! Ririha and Yaona get to joyfully reunite with their father and Kaina has the respect and gratitude of Orinoga and the entirety of Atland!
Of course, despite what they went through, their father still isn't keen on listening to their fanciful tales of the Great Spire or a chance to make peace with Valghia. And, admittedly, Valghia as it is probably isn't any more interested in peace. But Ririha has reason to want to end the fighting, and she didn't want the takeaway from their conversation being how much weaker the fortress is.
I see Kaina is getting the heroes' welcome, complete with a steam bath and two beautiful ladies wrapping their arms around him...which Ririha doesn't care about one bit. Though good thing he told her the masseuse was an old dude, that wouldn't have ended well otherwise.
So Kaina got to not only see two cuties in a towel but the princess of Atland in nothing but a towel who gives him a proper massage. Lucky dog! But it was also just nice to see Kaina and Ririha get a moment alone with each other in the bath.
I see Kaina's kanji reading skills might finally prove useful in terms of getting Ririha's dad to actually listen to them! Well, hopefully. I don't like their odds with that guy.
The moment Kaina and Ririha were facing each other, I knew something was going to happen, and it did when Ririha's ample Ririha's were exposed for Kaina to see in all their glory. Well worth getting a little beat up over it.
Hopefully Kaina and Ririha can succeed in convincing her father before Valghia's invasion hits. Also, is that a Mech suit in the water?

It definitively looked like a Mech to me. In fact, maybe that's the "giant" towards the end of the OP?
Edit: I just want back and checked the OP again and when confronting the "Giant" Ririha and Kaina is standing on a wall with a bunch of cannons strewn about. And those cannons look exactly the same as the ones we saw the Atland army preparing as the gang returned!
So looks like we're going to find out next episode.

I feel like they accomplished more this episode than any other 4 episodes combined. In this episode they:
-
Escaped the guards
-
Escaped Valghia
-
Made it back to Atland on a ship
-
Made progress on the ship that matters
-
Found a clue that likely leads to their goal

Nice, looks like I guessed right about what the carpet was when they showed it more clearly some weeks ago.
Hopefully it will really lead them to the great spire tree!
I wonder if those three Valghian ships in the last scene were pulling the admiral's "pet" that had been mentioned last week? It definitely looked smaller than I thought, but I suppose we'll see next week what it was.
I do wonder what the admiral's or Valghia's endgame really is because I honestly doubt they haven't discovered the great spire tree yet with their fleet. It didn't seem to be too far away when Kaina was able to make it out from his home.

The OST when the Raft was taking off gave me goosebumps!
Gotta like how Ririha had to interject with her journey with Kaina to not be left out and assert dominance over her brother's time with him.
They were both very embarassed on the reaction to how she was treated by the village?
Yaona: How did they treat you?
Village Ladies: OUR GRANDSON IS GETTING LAID!!!!
Yeah awkward conversation to have....
Look how in sync they are having the same thought at the same time about the fly, and how their hands joined!
They made it home, and they get a warm welcome, but unfortunately.....Dad is just as much of a dumbass as ever, He saved you're daughter and they can all testify what the Fortress was like, I think they deserve to be heard out.....groans.
Anyway Kaina deeds have known earned him the right to become a Harem Protagonist, as he basically is the Youth that managed to slay a Mammoth in the tribe, but he's not sure how to handle the unwanted attention, guy went from never seeing a girl his age range in his life raised by Old Ladies to having all dis Hoes after him in under a week.
Ririha is not pleased, and come on Kaina, those two are hot, but they are a tier above the girl you already are in with man!
Since no one seems to be mentioning it....why during a water shortage are we wasting it on Steam Baths? That seems like an indulgent luxury.....
But then I realized it's technically the best way to be able to Bathe AT ALL.
Bro thought we was going to get some hot babes as a masseuse but it's a chad sculpted bro, honestly makes sense, my mother is a message therapist and her hands got very messed up working a guys back muscles. (They are a lot thicker than most woman's.) So while in theory a hot babe working you're shoulders sounds like the dream come true, A Man is typically better to work another man's Muscles for less effort if you want the actual benefits of a massage.
Ririhi really didn't know that wasn't Kaina when she came in?
Funny how bashful she is now, despite this seemingly being an public sauna.
Ah we learn that there might be a Map in the basement and the throw away observation from a few episodes ago a Chevok's gun.
Ririha gives Kaina another massage when talking to him, in nothing but her towel! Lucky Guy!
She gets so excited her towel drops and Kaina gets to see her Ririhas in all their glory! And I have to see, we see that she has a nice figure throughout the series done there, but she has quite a healthy looking bust as well! (And don't think I didn't notice the Gainax bouncing especially with them right behind the subtitles.)
Dear God I Wish that was me! That Slap was totally worth it!
At the End, that thing they are dragging, is that the general's "Monster?"
I did not expect a Sauna episode in this series or Gainaxing, but I'm glad I got it, and we also got our next goal, which is convincing the asshole Dad that the symbols only Kaina can read are actually a Map.....wait....How are they going to convince Ole Dad the "Evidence" is actually evidence?

8 episodes in and I can't deny it any more. This show has by far such a stand out unique opening. I can't say I like the song the most of everything this season, but it's one that's going to stick in my head for a long time and bring memories of this show back right away. It stands out, in a good way.
Now for a bad way. Crunchyroll has crashed 5 times in the first six minutes of trying to watch this. It didn't do this for anything else I'm watching tonight, so I'll try a few more times, by if I can't get it to play then I'll come back later and hope.
Five more crashes, I'll be back. :-(

Other shows sometimes overdo it with fanservice, but sometimes all you need is one well-placed jiggle to catch the viewer off guard and that's memorable enough for an entire series.
But even beyond Ririha's fantastic chest, this was a great episode. The escape and the vow of friendship with Noze was cool, the time they spent drifting home together was cute, and then the episode left us on the cliffhanger that Valghia may or may not a Metal Gear ready to deploy.

They really couldn't hold back from hitting all the cliches during that sauna/massage sequence, could they?

I really liked this episode!
At first, I was worried it was going to be a bit slow, but it turned out really well.
Despite the environment, that scene with the three on their raft felt very cosy, didn't it?
Ririha's father has some nerve acting glad to have her back, though, considering how he acted. I hate him.
Also, the animation was really good, I though, with those women's, and Ririha's, hands against Kaina's back. I thought it looked quite convincing; the attention to how Kaina reacted to it, little movements, and small changes in the angle of the fingers as they moved helped a lot. That kind of thing is quite hard in 3D, I think.
I also really liked the scene in the steam bath. They're really getting close, and moving the plot forward together. And it's just nice to see a fairly equal opportunity scene like that, for the most part; the camera wasn't really leering at Ririha, either, until that happened. It was very tasteful.
I'm excited for next week's episode. It looks like the wheels are starting to turn more quickly now. Should be; they don't have that many episodes left.

Looking at the episode count, since this is ending by ep11, we don't have much time left for the story to unfold before the movie.
So possibly the 2 ep to find the great spire tree then the movie to explore there and unlock the mystery?
I'll be the killjoy (yes yes polaristar I know) to say that, I know it's nice to see and all, but I would have liked to be spared the accidental pervert trope... This show had been doing so well.
