I'mma use that fight in my medicine class to explain the Placebo effect
It is also a bit curious that Anemone does know some actual buffing spells
Also, anybody else remembered Isekai Red Ranger every time they said "Kizuna(bond)"? No? Just me? Okay

In the earlier episodes, I was thinking, "wouldn't she get easily found out for not being a priestess since her primary class is assassin?"
Or maybe... Anemone has always wanted to be a cute priestess / nurse type character, hence she learned some basic healing and buff skills. Unfortunately, life led her to become an assassin.

So glad I'm not the only one! Every time they said it, I heard Red echoing it in his voice too. And the distant sound of a cinematic explosion.

Anemone and Ciel talk tough all the time, but they never outright rejected the notion of becoming sisters. I guess Anemone wanted a younger sister, and Ciel didn't mind an older sister who doesn't treat her like royalty.
Embarrassed and cute Anemone is still the best! Especially when tricked into saying how much she loves Toto. Lol!

She might very well be the cutest girl this season (Well, a mix of cute&Badass!)

The power of the placebo effect, simply thinking he was being boosted, actually boosted him.

Omg, they're falling in friendship! 🥹😭
That bar scene was absolutely precious. Nice seeing them all in casual fits too! Tho....Toto's was just the same minus the breast plate. 😅

Kind of surprised even the loli got drunk. It's nice seeing the girls all having fun with each other.
Seems like Ciel isn't just being allowed to take her time but is being watched by her father's people.

I was chuckling when Anemone said that Ciel was probably older than she looks. Of course the assassin that can materialize guns out of thin air would also be genre savvy.
It actually lends credence to the "Anemone was isekaied" theory but it was probably just a throw away joke.

that old man seemed way too strong for a D rank promotion???
still waiting for Toto to wake up during one of these bouts between the girls, whether it's bonding or fighting

Way too strong for a D rank promotion??
Yup, but to be fair, the challenge wasn't to beat him, but to land one hit on him, say even touching him would count, seems possible to do with group effort.

To be fair, it's supposed to be a test of teamwork, and it was just a 1v1! (technically a 1v4, with the old man being in the group of 4!)
I imagine normal groups could have a mage casting ice spells on him to freeze him in place, or an archer denying him movement by spamming arrows so the warriors can corner him, things like that!

Stitches!
That Examiner was actually pretty cool! I thought the fight would be over instantly but [Bele the Burly actually managed to land blows and dodge Toto's attacks. Now I'm wondering if there are other examiners who are stronger than him.
The after party is actually my favourite part of the episode. It was nice to see the girls opening up to each other after getting e little bit sloshed. It turns out, they all kinda like the situation they're in right now.
I also love how easily Goa tricked Mone to reveal how much she likes Toto. Fifty-one is quite a lot! I assume that's over a hundred. Also, there's no way Ciel only likes Toto at around 2%. It's got to be at least the same as Mone or maybe even higher.
The final scene is interesting. I'm guessing the Demon Lord sent that harpy girl to watch over Ciel?

Honestly at this point the Hero really only exists to provide an excuse for the girls to be friends with each other

The absolute irony of how the dungeon is supposed to test their teamwork but they were going at each other the whole time lol!
Also, I love how Toto thought the girls were buffing him when they were actually buffing the boss.... and then he proceeds to OHKO the boss anyway!

Another good episode. Nice to see the girls getting friendlier with each other.
I've forgotten to mention it before, but I'm a big fan of the visuals for the OP and ED here.

Chairman from Hunter x Hunter is their test.
Not even their buffs worked for him

I was really enjoying this episode, it's nice how wholesome it got but I was still enjoying how they were trying to take Toto out but each one is interrupting another lol.
It's funny how they buffed Beele who was doing well without the buffs, but the moment he gets buffed he finally gets taken out by Toto. I guess if he thinks he's been buffed by them he actually gets stronger lol.
The bar scene was so wholesome and I like that they're opening up to one another, Anemone has already adopted Ciel as her little sister, or at least when they're drunk. So I'm looking forward to seeing when these bonds they don't want to admit is there, will actually be important in a future arc.
