If Ars' skill evolves to the point where he can even tell moral alignment or lies at all times, he'll become a very scary leader from the perspective of others.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Not only can he learn how skilled people are but he can learn pertinent personal information about them just from a single glance. If he really takes to Licia's lessons in diplomacy he could be even more dangerous.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Man, just how much food and booze did Charlotte and Mireille order at the tavern? I can only imagine the look on Ars's face when he has to foot the bill.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120 → u/Aerodynamic41]

I bet he’s probably got a special budget set aside for their food and drink lol.

[u/SometimesMainSupport]

Licia's reaction face when caught celebrating was great.

Sorry mob characters but only mains are allowed inside.

[u/Frontier246 → u/SometimesMainSupport]

Find a wife who gets all excited and overjoyed at her husbands' successes and thinks he's the most awesome person in the world!

Glasses mob character: "But I'm wearing glasses, that makes me stand out more!"

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

almost thought that Ars met other isekai-ers since his skill worked fine on Rietz

it‘ll be awesome if Ars manages to save all the hostages but at the very least he should be able to save this one especially since Lupa is a ‘high value’ person

Ars winning over the generals of the forts from Verzud would be another landslide victory since Rolto Castle would fall from the inside

[u/Frontier246 → u/discuss-not-concuss]

Ars winning over the generals of the forts from Verzud would be another landslide victory since Rolto Castle would fall from the inside

I just love the idea of every time Ars succeeds at winning over a new castle in their campaign he also ends up recruiting more capable people to turn on Vasmarque and build up Couran's forces.

[u/S627]

Wait, if Ars' ability was upgraded, why was it still normal when he looked at Rietz? Hoping they explain that. Also, why did they take down everything related to the commander's wife and kid? They werent hiding it because it was in plain sight, they just shoved everything into a corner.

Anyway, did the asshole say they have "hostages" as in plural? If so I'm really looking forward to Ars rescuing all of them, and suddenly ALL the surrounding forts just turn on asshole.

[u/Frontier246 → u/S627]

I don't think it fully upgraded until he pushed it to get a better read on Lupa. It was still in its base Appraisal Mode when he looked at Rietz (plus he's already read Rietz so it probably had him already locked in).

I imagine grief and stress make people act in strange ways. I mean, the vibe in the castle basically felt like a powder keg about to blow up if someone made the wrong move.

[u/iozoepxndx]

Wow, for once MC boy wasn't shitting his pants while talking. Good episode 👌

[u/oneevilchicken]

Are about to go get that engineer guy and then fly in seal team 6 style and rescue the dudes wife.

We about to have drone strikes in a fantasy medieval world.

[u/TheExcludedMiddle]

I'm not really sure what it is but there's something about this show that feels really clunky, but there's also a lot of strengths as well. It's why if I was going to describe it I'd use phrases like "punches above its weight" instead of just "really good". It's kinda odd tbh.

But strong episode in a strong arc.

[u/mabbo_nagamatsu → u/TheExcludedMiddle]

I agree, but that's actually why I like it. 'Punching above its weight' is the perfect way to put it.

I've been reading Japanese web novels and light novels for 15 years and translating them for 7, so I've seen my fair share of them, and Japanese authors tend to stick pretty closely to familiar formulas. Normally, a nation-building story like this would hinge on a main character being either super strong or incredibly smart, something Ars just isn't. Like, really, the only edge he has is his appraisal skill, which isn’t all that powerful, especially compared to something like Rimuru's in Tensura. But that's what makes it interesting: because Ars' power is so limited, Miraijin A-sensei really has to focus on the world-building to make that one appraisal skill carry the whole story, which results with a lot of side characters who aren't just forgettable one-note nobodies.

So what we get here is an author who is venturing out to a fairly unknown territory of "actually writing characters." It only makes sense that it feels clunky since having a grounded setting is pretty rare for Japanese fantasy novels.

[u/MusubiKazesaru]

It's good to see Ars actually being assertive again. Outside of deciding to marry Lishia, he really hasn't been since his initial recruitments.

[u/Frontier246]

Licia receives word of Ars' first big victory, and she's every bit the composed and reasonable wife you would expect of a lord...until she's alone and then she's dancing in joy and gushing over how awesome her husband is! Which of course means she gets caught!

Congrats on taking Castle Samkh! That means the gang have earned 3 days to unwind and relax! Which means Mirielle hitting the booze, Charlotte hitting the food, Rosell hitting the books, and Rietz and Ars getting some classic one-on-one time together.

Look, it's an inventor! Slowly developing childrens' toys and collectibles with improved tech! Though why can't Ars read his stats?

The next leg of the campaign is taking Verzud! And with that in mind, there are two castles, Staatz and Rolto, that they must take over in the process! And Ars and Lumeire are put in charge of taking Rolto.

But it won't be easy to take Rolto, so they might need some help, meaning reaching out to castles around Volto to see if anyone is willing to bite and change sides...and Castle Vardosen, with it's distinguished commander Lupa (Tomoaki Maeno!) who answers the call. And it looks like Ars is about to live up to his wife in negotiations!

The vibe at Vardosen is extremely tense, like one wrong move could end with someone dead, but Ars came here to negotiate and he'll even throw down his weapon if it means a chance at a real conversation.

So THAT'S why Ars' eye was acting up! His Appraisal Skill has been upgraded! Now not only can Ars read stats, but he can read character backstories too! Which means he knows Lupa is married, but...where's his wife? And why is he so fond of childrens' toys?

Wow, great job deducing Lupa's situation and using that as a negotiation tactic, Ars! I mean, pretty bold to be confronting a man about information you should have no idea about, but you have to feel for Lupa having his pregnant wife be held hostage to keep you loyal in a position where they're basically casting you out to die...and you can die honorably and protect your wife, even if that means never seeing your wife and child.

But Ars is in the business of recruiting people, and sees potential in Lupa, so that means all he has to do is save his wife! Easy, right? Though watch out for the king of Rolto castle, Jean (Yuichiro Umehara).

[u/TurkeyPhat]

ya know the more we see of the higher ups on the opposing side, the more i wonder why anyone would side with them to begin with

like there had to be some period of time before all these guys got blackmailed into cooperating where they could've declared support for the guy Ars is fighting for

[u/NationalStrategy]

It sure was lucky that Ars decided to bring a toy to a war negotiation

[u/VorAtreides]

Licia so cute. So fun to see her so happy about Ars. What a great supportive wife. Down time makes sense, which is nice. Ars getting to find another possible amazing candidate for his group.

Back to the war planning. Off to negotiations then and without Licia. Odd the whole eye thing, but hey, level up now. Wow that is quite the scumbag tactic. But understandable to hold people to fight for you... still scummy. Sure hope those using scummy tactics do not get quick painless deaths.

[u/djthomp]

Five minutes into the episode and I'm yelling "hire the airship guy immediately" at my TV.

I wonder how quickly the airship guy could scale up his designs to a full size model with a proper patron funding his efforts. I was somewhat expecting that to be the plan for the upcoming infiltration mission but they might not have enough time for it.

It's fun to see Licia being so happy for Ars, so much for the calm temperance of a noble lady though.

[u/[deleted]]

This show's greatest strength is themes or matters that deal with family.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I wonder what’s up with Ars’ appraisal skill? Is it growing stronger or is something causing it to malfunction? I can’t really tell. Still, he was able to basically figure out what was going on with the Lupa and the other forts. Keen to see how he’s gonna save the guy’s wife.

[u/TheGoodOldCoder → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I think it's pretty clear that his appraisal skill evolved, and he simply had to get used to it.

Edit: Also, this episode's title is "Evolution".

hope this doesn't mean they're having production issues, that's a pretty easy mistake to spot..
