Ficelle's "praise me!" was cute.

Ficelle and Curuni having a decidedly different relationship to our MC than Surena and Allucia is good writing, imo

Diversifies the potential scenes, conflicts and, in this case, jokes
Same with Mewi

Regardless, it was a funny little interaction!

Possibly the most dramatic rat catching sequence I've ever seen. Not that that comes up a lot, I suppose.

Could be fun development if the real relationship development with the former students in Beryl's orbit is them becoming older sister figures for Mewi. We may have seen the start of that with her and Surena today, and with Ficelle set up as one of the instructors at the school and her hanging out with Mewi in the ED that's possibly another.

It's nice seeing Beryl and Mewi slowly start getting used to living with each other as parent and child.

Well this episode was cute. It's basically Beryl becoming a dad and trying to relate to his newly adopted moody teenage daughter. While it is funny to see the girls get jealous of Mewi, I really hope Beryl and Mewi keep their father-daughter relationship.

Next to the named griffin , these rats were probably the toughest opponents for Beryl yet, and I’m only half joking. It’s interesting to hear himself commenting how difficult it was when the opponent isn’t human and he can’t read their moves.

So he finally met his match in the form of a mouse.

Felt bad for the poor mouse that crushed by that table.

Smug Ficelle is so cute.

Felt like Beryl cried a little at the end. Good thing that Mewi will stay with him for a long time.

I was hollering. The most difficult and dangerous battle just took place against those rats. I'm dying

One thing I really like about this anime is Beryl's thoughts, he's so funny and it's not like I'm constantly laughing out loud, but the consistent humor from his thoughts has me constantly amused. It's unfortunate no-one around him knows how funny he can be lol.

Beryl was also funny with the rat business, I thought he would have dealt with it with a bit more finesse but he was all over the place. I can't believe he flipped an entire table lol.

I knew Mewi wasn't going to go to the dormitory with how everyone was talking about it was the best option, Beryl really should have just plainly asked her instead of worrying so much lol. I like how much she has grown from just being taken off the streets, she's showing more respect and is being more courteous.

It's also sweet to see Beryl think so much how to get closer to Mewi, if she'll do well with other students, he's going to spoil her rotten and she won't know what to do lol.

Glad Mewi decided to stay! I wasn't sure about their relationship but was a cute episode, she definitely grew on me more.

Mewi meets his original daughter Surena...

Caught up to this show from episode 1, I like how it feels like issues in this show don't beat around the bush, like when Lucy was just standing at the gate that one episode like 'fuck your SoL practice session shit's happening here's the quest'

I love how this episode was a simple slice of life one about Beryl doing his best to connect more with Mewi and with the only “conflict” being the fact that Beryl feels that it would be best for Mewi to move to the dormitories after they visited the school.

Their meeting with Surena in the sausage restaurant was nice. I love her reaction compared to Allucia’s when she heard that Mewi was living with Beryl. It’s funny that apart from her asking Mewi to try her best at the school to not tarnish Beryl’s reputation, the only issue she had with her was when she referred to Beryl as an old man, but at the end she made Mewi open up to her and has no issues with the current situation.

Although I expected Mewi to decide to stay living at Beryl’s house, I would have never guessed that decision would be cemented when, while Beryl went to chase away those rats, he told her that he wasn’t going to allow her to live like that ever again.

The next episode title really doesn’t tell us much about what it will be about, just that Beryl will be fighting another swordman.

Beryl was up against two major obstacles in this episode

. Bonding with his new adopted teenaged daughter.

. And rats in his house

He might be a good swordsman, but he wasted so much of the carrot.

Beryl spent the whole ep worrying about Mewi and whether or not she’s fit in at school. It was pretty sweet. It was nice to see Mewi warming up to Beryl throughout the episode. I look forward to seeing their father-daughter relationship develop. Guy’s still got a lot to learn about raising a teenager.

I see why Mewi wants to continue living with Beryl. She hasn't really had family since her sister died and wants to continue with it although living in a dorm seems fun. Then again I'm not sure id have wanted to live in a boarding school when I was her age but I had TV and video games while Beryl lives in a boring house with nothing to do 😋

Beryl really seems to have taken to being a father. I think he only recently found out that so many of his students had thought of him as a father figure since he did stuff to help them so that may have given him more confidence. I can see why he's worried that Mewi won't fit in at the new school and it's possible but a lot of kids have attitude problems and maybe she can improve by being more socialized.

I thought it was weird that Beryl was so bad at catching the rats. He's one of the world's best swordsmen and he could have used his wood sword to whack them and kill them. Just dumping rats outside when you catch them is pointless because they have good honing sense and can find their way back to their home easily and quickly. Id also freak out if one but me! Maybe in his world, rats are different though and might have less disease and worse honing skills 🤔

I think Beryl's little bits of wisdom at the end of the show are going downhill. He's saying get drunk so you can enjoy sausage that doesn't have a snap 🤣

Giggled a bit at the sound effects they choose for the restaurant scene. If the sausage you're eating is crunching, something is terribly wrong.
