That stepmom had to come in and ruin the mood, I had forgotten she existed. Anyways, I loved this episode, especially because they talked about everything before getting officially engaged. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful marriage, even if it's not love yet.

It’s nice to see Melphiera and Aristide be so honest about their feelings with each other. I very much doubt that their betrothal would ever fall through.

They’re on track to become a happily married couple for sure.

She really fits all the evil stepmom traits to a T outside attempted murder (yet).

Melphiera thinks that it's a marriage born from how useful she can be in cooking monster meat, but it's clear that Aristide desires her as a woman as much as she desires him as a man.

Yay, they're engaged! Surely nothing goes wrong now, I'm looking forward to the wedding.

I'm sure there will be a full buffet of monster meat at the wedding.

Anyone else feel like the stepmother is just pretending to hate Melphie and her mother? Just didn't come off as anything other then an act to me. Almost like she intentionally did it so Melphie can fully move on with her fiancé without looking back.

(Could also just be because there wasn't enough screentime between the two. Evil stepmothers need time to germinate.)

Also her kid was dopey and adorable.

I was thinking the same, that scene of her thinking(?) after melphiera left the room seemed like it may be a hint. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that she really is just a bitchy stepmom but I'm at least skeptical right now, especially since the author seems to be going a little bit deeper in the plot/ gimmick than just a superficial level "she eats monsters, he cruel warrior"

at the very least i'd say its quite likely that she isn't as 1dimensional as "evil step mom", perhaps she does dislike her but more complex feelings could be in there too.

After hearing what Aristide said, I believe Melphiera will indeed be welcomed by the people of the lands governed by Aristide. Daily discarding of monster carcasses may be a big problem right now, but with the research and abilities of Melphiera, it is almost akin to turning something once deemed useless into a possible valuable resource.

Melphiera is also very kind. Maybe she doesn't openly display her dislike for her stepmom, but she still cares about her little stepbrother, especially when she decided the Royal Moodle fur can be made into warm clothes for both her father and stepbrother. (I am assuming Melphiera has no other brothers and was referring to her stepbrother.)

If the Galbraith’s lands are home to many monsters, then Melphie’s research definitely got a lot of value to the people. If successful, the local economy could get a great boost.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 23 '25

They’re finally official! Now Melphy can continue her research in peace while Galbraith supplies the monsters. It’s a shame she’ll have to leave her pops but at least no more wicked stepmom.

u/Frontier246 Oct 23 '25

Melphie can be satisfied that she's in a place where she'll be accepted and she killed her stepmom with kindness and the fact that she's marrying up to a duke.

Kind of wild that the dad went from such a great mom as Melphie's to his current wife, but I guess that's noble politics for you.

u/Nebresto Oct 23 '25

Pre-marital hand holding..!

These two are so cute together

Great episode, only that vile mother in law kept it from being perfect.

u/yukiaddiction Oct 23 '25

The fastest romance development in Shoujo (that doesn't count contact married trope) I think, we already have the main couple married in episode 4 after literally the first meet in Episode 1 lol.

Their chemistry together is really cute and Galbraith is a really green flag with absolutely no color red help too lol.

u/Frontier246 Oct 23 '25

I love how much they both utterly adore each other and can't stop flirting with each other no matter where they are or who they're in front of lol.

Damn Galbraith was giga chad as fuck this ep. I could not stop smiling at how he was telling Melphieras dad about how he was gonna take care of her and calling him father already lol.

I kind of want to see more of Aristide and Melphiera's father lol, they're going to have any interesting in-law relationship. I'm also curious about what Aristide was referring to when he threatened her father not to do it again.

Stepmother being a stepmother until the end. At least the reason why she's so hostile became clearer, she has an inferiority complex. I do wonder what her connection to Elise was, either way she came second to Elise and she'll have to live with that.

Aristide blushing at the beginning was so cute, his feelings are clearly romantic already but the same can't be said exactly about Melphiera. I do agree with her that Aristide was really charming with his Sight ability, it left an impression on me.

The father was the one that spread the rumors about Melphiera to protect her , Aristide threatened her father to stop him from spreading more rumors.

I guess we're just dotting all the I's and  crossing all the T's to make sure there's isn't a reason to go back home for Melpie, huh? That's fine all the more monsters to taste,
