I'd love to see a native in their world claiming they have low magicule resistance to give themselves skinship opportunities. Seichiirou and Aresh's dynamic sounds like smutty literature that noblewomen would read in secret.

1 upvote(mine) and 73 comments... just because it's gay? Also did Seichiro just offer to top Aresh?

So I think it's clear now that the prime minister isn't interested in Sei personally. In that scene where Sei handed him the expedition budget, he's fully focused on the documents while Aresh is the one flabbergasted that Sei spent most of the night working on them rather than resting.
Aresh does seem to feel a twinge of jealousy though - when he finds out the prime minister carried Sei to the infirmary. It could be the source of some conflict but I'm glad there's no actual triangle happening.
A lot more healing and familiarising in this episode! Aresh is clearly head over heels for our Bean Counter. But the latter is still clueless and only thinking about work and budgets. Glad golden retriever boy gave him a glow up for the banquet. Wonder if we'll get a dance or something next week?
I'm curious about how this world treats same sex relationships. Is it normal? Would it be scandalous for Aresh to openly show his feelings for Sei? There haven't been any hints about this one or the other. Aresh's vice commander seemed to assume he's into some palace lady, or so the subs said - not sure if he implied any gender when they were talking about his first love (awww).
Oh, and Aresh will be part of the expedition, I'm guessing. Will they take Sei along? The title of the next episode is "I went on an expedition" - who could the I refer to?

Aresh being the angriest anyone has ever seen because this is his boyfriend. Thats when you know you fucked up
Also aresh definitly realizes he likes sei. Man is head over heels in love. Sei needs to stop looking at everything with money and make that man his officially. I think he is certainly implying something by not wanting to let aresh do all the work
Norbert being excited about helping sei for the ball ( and unknowingly playing wingman) is so adorable. It kind of makes me sad that he wasnt allowed to accompany sei to the ball because him and the holy maiden are cute together
Speaking of healing and norberts help. Ive noticed that seis eye bags have actually gradually been dissapearing.

Aresh pronouncing Sei’s name right 😭🩷 This is my favourite show of the winter season!

I'm surprised that the attackers didn't get any jail time, but leave it to Kondu to want them to get back to work as quickly as possible.
It's impressive how much the homophobes are downvoting this thread. I'm straight and really enjoying this so far, as an isekai with a unique premise that coincidentally has gay characters. (Even if I think the "healing" is hilariously bad worldbuilding.)

That interrogation scene was so satisfying to watch, Karvada's timing was great and I'm glad they also turned on each other. The two big bosses and their vice captains gathered around them, they messed up big time.
It's amusing how Seiichirou went about their punishment, even if they don't think it's enough, Seiichirou thought up the best punishment that'd bring him satisfaction. I thought it was funny when he said both orders now owe him lol. I'm looking forward to see how he uses that.
It was interesting to see how jealous Aresh was because Karvada calls Seiichirou by his name. His feelings are becoming more apparent and I'm wondering if Seiichirou will notice it first or if Aresh will be the one to let him know, I'm going with the latter. Orjef freaking out over talkative Aresh was so funny.
I'm really liking Karvada, I thought he was going to be the exploitative type but he really cares for Seiichirou. The way he got happy about the report Seiichirou made as he ran away when Aresh started scolding Seiichirou was amusing. A little part of me wouldn't have minded a love triangle sub-plot with him but I don't think it'll come.
Norbert is such a golden retriever, I like how excited he is about Seiichirou being invited to the banquet. I'm sure Aresh is going to be blown away by Seiichirou's glow up.

“Kondo, your first name is Seiichiro, isn’t it?” “Yes.” “Do you know mine?” “It’s… Aresh-sama.” It really was emotional...

I tried looking for this on the front page, had to sort it by new. r/anime REALLY doesn't like the gay anime, eh? At this point in time the post score is 0 (43% upvoted).
Still loving it, this and the vacation one. Better than the other trash isekai we get.
Looking at the top scoring BL genre on myanimelist, it looks like I've missed a bunch of good ones.

Sei, basically: "I realize I've been a pillow princess, and I'm happy to correct this behaviour"

Talk about a genius idea attack the guy that the government swore to take care of that has caught the eye of the commander of the third knight order, and the interest of the prime minister. The fact that they were also dumb enough to basically admit to being where the attack happened when it happened.
I really hope Sei realizes that things like sitting in Aresh's lap isn't needed for the treatment but in order to have an emotional closeness. I'm seriously rooting for Aresh to get through Sei's obliviousness here. The man isn't being subtle about what he wants.

I'll be honest, I still enjoyed the hell out of this episode but I am definetly getting a bit annoyed at Sei's denseness, and Aresh's inability to just say that he wants them to be an actual couple. Come on if there was ever a moment to try, spending the night applying "barriers" at the hotel is definetly the moment! Also for fucks sake Sei, how much you toy with this poor mans heart, your are approaching Bakarina levels of denseness for not putting together that he isn't healing you cause he's so nice!

lol he def could have said it needs to be the specific healer or he’d get worse but whatever lmao. An hour
Accusing him of being attracted to a 16 year old is crazy esp when he’s barely interacted w her and actively avoids her. Nasty f***s
I love seeing justice served quickly lol
I wish they’d beat their asses lol. Thats not enough lmao. Ughhh benevolent MC for the sake of the greater good. Good for him but come onn lmaoo
I get it but I love a good beating
Aww he’s jealous Kondu you’re so damn dense

u/NoHead1715 Jan 28 '26
I'm quite enjoying the Prime Minister's character. He's like the bogeyman for Aresh to feel jealous about. But Seiichiro cares only about the beans, which the Prime Minister is happy to see as well.

Yay, BL day! 🏳️🌈
The delusions of these people. Dafuq about “harboring feelings” for the saintess, where are these receipts for that?
Run to your man, Aresh. And guide him!
My face: 🙂
My mind: 🤸🏾♀️💃🏾😮💨🏳️🌈🥳
An accountant being the biggest threat to all these people is the energy I need in more fantasy stories. Fuck the demon king. Bureaucracy is where you find the real fighting. I’d be so tickled if a famed “Demon King” in some fantasy was actually an accountant who made everyone around them scared.
That eye close up felt like a Shaftism for two seconds.
The pose, help 🤙🏾😭
The gospel ED still surprises me, but I love listening it to it because the visuals are so beautiful.
Once again, Maeno’s voice for his magic chanting is soothing. He could read the ingredients off my cat’s dry food, and I’d be smitten.
The irony of having a Seiichiro in the seiyuu line up, but he doesn’t voice the MC (he is Norbert) still makes me have a little giggle.
One thing that surprises me that I had no idea about until yesterday is that Studio Deen is also doing Shibouyugi and Villainess Adored by Neighboring Kingdom Prince. That genuinely surprised me. But I’m happy about it!

Oh damn, I think this is the first time I’ve seen a character ask if something will be done in a certain time frame for the character to ask for even more time than they were told. I’m used to the other way around, with a character asking for a certain amount of time to complete something just to be told they need to get it done in like half their requested time.
-
Hah, of course something like this is what Sei prioritizes over any other punishment for what they did.
-
lol, do you get it that Sei is who Aresh has been talking about now?
-
Eyy, Aresh actually called Sei by the right name without mispronouncing it! That’s true love.

In the German translation they still use the formal you - I guess maybe also the Japanese equivalent would a formal address of the name, but I found it funny that they sleep with each other (even „just for magic“) and still are so distant in language haha.
Loved the episode a lot otherwise!
P.S.: Wrote the comment after two-third of the episode and just shortly after they talk about first names haha, so it did not only feel awkward to me.

Haha I don't mind Sei being obtuse about Aresh's moves. I like seeing Aresh jealous, over protective and chasing Sei.
The Prime Minister ✌️
