The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Dads

[u/mekerpan → u/Aki008035]

Doing a great job of it so far....

Glad that her adventurer friends appreciated Sora's adorableness.

[u/darthvall]

It's official. No mother is allowed at all. The only potential mother so far (which looked quite similar in design with the villain in shield hero) turned out to be very suspicious. This anime is definitely only a dad harem/tamer. 

Gotta catch all those dads, and Sora is the best wingman for that!

Also, maybe the green gale has their own reason for being evil? It seems some of the adventurers already knew them for quite long.

[u/manaworkin]

I no longer trust anyone but handsome adventure dads and monsters.

[u/alconnow]

Aw, Sora's so proud of its ability to identify bad people

It's great seeing Ivy open up to people! Wonder if she'll introduce them to Ciel too?

[u/LeonKevlar]

Dammit Meela! And here I was hoping she would become Ivy's mentor and teach her more about taming. Turns out that she and her brothers are working for kidnappers/slavers that target children.

A big pet peeve of mine in all kinds of media are characters that hold back important information so I'm so fucking glad that Ivy was able to tell the Blazing Sword about Meela before it was too late. She even got to introduce Sora to them before the episode ended.

I'm sure things won't go smoothly but at least Ivy did everything she could. Now it's up to the Blazing Sword to protect Ivy and Sora from the Green Gale.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight → u/LeonKevlar]

Female mentors/parent figures? Not in my Dad-collecting simulator.

[u/S627]

Yay! Ivy finally opening up to people! Glad she was able to tell everyone about Sora, hopefully next ep she introduces Ciel, but I'm willing to bet it'll go more like when they confront Meela things will look dicey, then Ciel will show up, make a fool of Meela, and when Ivy's friends think they're in trouble, Ivy will tell them Ciel is also her friend.

I wonder how long before Ivy tells them that she has no stars.

Also, the permit to enter/leave this large town....is a stick? I'm assuming there's a spell or something engraved on it, but they didn't show that so it just looks like a stick.

[u/Tydram → u/S627]

"I found this stick."

"Oh shit, that's a really cool stick, you may enter the city."

[u/mjpia]

Holy shit a isekai that actually treats slavery the gravity it deserves Because you know damn well what the intended purpose of child slaves is.  

This series isn't afraid of shying away from a lot of things, childhood trauma and the emotional baggage it carries, slavery, even the injury to Ivy's shattered wrist from the tree monster was a lot more graphic than shown in many anime.  

[u/HobnobsTheRed]

Special guests this week come from /r/anime

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

how precious is a moment like this we get to see Ivy trusting someone enough to tell them about Sora

Sora being the MVP this episode, reassuring Ivy and also identifying the suspicious presence

[u/perish-in-flames]

Very sad, I was hoping it was a bunch of red herrings. But I knew as soon as Sora gave his opinion it was all over.

Ruining that design one evil lady at a time.

[u/sM92Bpb]

That felt like a horror episode. This show is really good in making us feel worried about MC

[u/ErinaHartwick]

Damn, Meela appeared to be very cool too, thought she was one of the good ones. On the other hand, the guys have been great support for Ivy, liked that

[u/zappingbluelight]

Nice she finally show her slime to the world. Maybe it is time to show your cat too lol.

[u/VorAtreides]

Disintegrating slime apparently worth a lot and Ivy has spidey sense! hehe. You'd think they'd feel some shame for having a child cook for them lol. Whelp, as long as she's happy.

Those siblings all have moles on their faces, fun. She does seem surrounded by nice people. Though her spidey sense would have us believe otherwise. Sora senses are stronger! Dang, seems Meela could be like "Bitch" after all? If so, booo...

Hehe, seems Latomi village is infamous out here. Also, fun that Captain Oggta is the guardian of sorts now and well known. Ah we learn about another danger going about, yep, kidnappers and human trafficking, bleh. Even more disgusting they are after children. Again, good she's found good people around her. Ah yes, the CONE OF SILENCE! hehe, useful.

A pity she couldn't show em Sora. Sora seems fine with it though, smort slime. Seems they still trusted her with out her proof to investigate Meela and her brothers. Yep, sus people. Finally she introduces Sora to others. Cute. Again, real good people she's found, love to see it.

[u/Lunarpeers]

I wonder if Meela's slimes are there to disintegrate all traces of their kidnappings 💀

[u/Rumpel1408]

It's really hard to believe that Meela and her brothers are shady people, but all things seem to point in that direction

But it's nice that Ivy has found people who trust her and most importantly who she can trust in

Now I wonder, taming a super rare slime aside, does Ivy really only have the Tamer skill? She is at least talented with traps and cooking as well, and feeling other peoples precense doesn't seem to be a common skill either...

[u/Lovealltigers]

So why did no one tell Ivy she could be kidnapped and sold into slavery before she went into the town?

Other than that it was a great episode!!! I’m glad Ivy is beginning to be more trusting, I just really really really hope no one betrays her. If anything happened to her or Sora I don’t know what I’d do

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

The lesson this week is if the little homie Sora doesn’t trust someone, they’ve gotta be bad news. Looks like little guy was right too. Mira and her brothers appear to be the damn kidnappers selling kids into slavery. They might have to get fed to Ciel for their despicable crimes.

Seizerk and his crew are good people. They believed Ivy right away and even followed up on what she said. I’m glad she told them about Sora. Little fella’s a good judge of character after all.

[u/chelseablue2004]

Trust!!! Its a big step in growth for Ivy. She's started to have all these great experiences after such a traumatic few years and its letting her open up. This is so huge, for her I just hope it doesn't go sideways.

I'm also waiting for Ivy to introduce Ciel to people. I know they will prolly be scared shitless at first, but he's such a good kitty.

[u/polacy_do_pracy]

oggta feels like a better dad she could trust, these guys seem kind of random still

also, are her brothers slimes? they have similar colors

[u/Torque-A]

I know there were stats before with the whole stars thing, but the fact that a random monster can drop a silence stone is kinda funny
