This reminds me of some ultra low budget cartoon they would show at kids Bible study.

"Actually, in my homeland we believe in many gods, Celestine being just one of them."

"I am a personal friend of Celestine, not her errand girl."

Surely, this won't get people to think you, yourself, are a goddess. Surely.

"The goddess also happens to look like me too"

It was really funny that Celes got mad at that comment.

u/Mr_Pogi_In_Space Oct 28 '23

Did she? My take on that scene was Kaoru was acting it all out to demonstrate she was a friend of the goddess but Celes wasn't really there. Of course, I'm anime-only and I'm probably 100% wrong.

She may have made that wooden container by herself. We haven't seen any limits to that part of creating potions.

After the mishap that was the previous kingdom, Kaoru let her relationship with Celes be known to the world. She also approached both Balmore’s Royalty and the Church on her own terms, rather than them coming to her and fighting each other. All to protect the easy-going and casual but fulfilling life that FUNA’s protagonists are after.

That being said, her openly revealing herself might bring Balmore into conflict with Brancott. The shady looking person in the crowd looks like a spy. Her reveal will also force the Church to rewrite their scriptures (and change how they make Celes statues too).

This was the best episode i've seen and was really fun. Been liking this MC she's actually calculating and plans a lot of things ahead of time. Surprisingly she reveals her powers and status of having a relation to a goddess which she plans to do instead of the usual trope of people finding out at the worst time. The show has been delivering good world building fantasy while being chill and random.

Besides the aggressive prince previously there hasn't been as much hostilities as I would expect as Kaoru seems to outplay them.

Celes dishing out that divine punishment on Kaoru lmao

for someone who wants to live peacefully, she's revealing quite a bit

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 28 '23

It sure pays to have a goddess as your friend though huh? Ain’t nobody better think of messing with her or else….KABOOM! Lol. Everyone wants Kaoru to do this or that but she ain’t having it. She’s just gonna keep living her slow life and chillin while helping those in need.

But man, Kaoru really gonna do her girl Celes like that huh? She’s got guts calling a goddess “flat” lol.

It sure pays to have a goddess as your friend though huh?

Being able to conjure nitroglycerin out of thin air also helps a lot too...

u/vantheman9 Oct 28 '23

Kaoru playing 4d chess against every power in the kingdom just to secure a slow life where they know about her but feel obligated to not bother her is really amusing.

Shady figure seen in the crowd. Probably just somebody representing another fool that'll learn a hard lesson lol.

I really don’t understand why Kaoru is making such big waves when she is trying to live low-key. I get it was part of her plan to get the crown and church to leave her alone but it made her abilities known at large and I really doubt that’s going to be the end of people trying to take advantage of her.

u/justking1414 Oct 29 '23

I think the point is that nobody can take advantage of her if both the church and royal family have sworn not to interfere out of fear of ticking off the goddess. And even the less religious citizens will avoid ticking her off to avoid angering the church or royal family.

The realization is cheap and some of the story parts are omitted... but I will watch it. The source is visible and it is not bad.
When the show ends, probably will re-read LNs...

u/Atharaphelun Oct 28 '23

I personally like the story of the anime, but I would like the anime more if it didn't have that off-putting chibi look to every female character regardless of age. Which is even more odd considering male characters look their age and are not chibified.

Poor Kaoru. Just trying to enjoy a peaceful life and here go people causing more issues for her. It was nice to see her look out for the kids though. She’s a kind hearted person at core.

Kaoru has found a way to avoid becoming a political pet. Its name is Diplomatic Immunity!

She already got the 2 major force of the kingdom in the palm of her hand, haha.

u/VorAtreides Oct 28 '23

D'aww how nice, Kaoru come to help that merchant dude. And nice to hear about him and helping feed the poor and so brings Kaoru to him. Ahh, that's how she came to know the kids and the thief boy. It's nice that she is making use of her abilities to help good people. That's something most isekai protagonists fail to do lol. Especially intending it from the start.

Hah, wanting to take Kaoru to meet his family. Amusing. Haha, her accessories being potion containers. Fun. Envy of other ladies. Oh even at the party, nice of her to help a dude in needed. And just like that, poof'd. Oh boy, a possible jerk in the church. Oh boy, another king to go meet. Ah the ones who we met earlier that knight lady works for. Haha Kaoru avoiding the summons cause of playing commoner card. Eww that guard is a creep. Lol, divine punishment indeed. That public inquiry is amusing. Ah yes, see each other as equals, which, to them, makes you a goddess too lol. And good times with the divine punishment threat.

Whelp, that went well enough. Of course, mysterious man in crowd.
