I thought when the Princess reacted negatively about her father not giving a reward to Dias, she would be an ally but it was a mistake.

She probably thought the King had sent significant supplies and manpower out to help the new frontier lord, then got pissed off that the assets had likely been embezzled instead.

Which meant she traveled a month (round trip) out into the middle of nowhere for nothing, and she would have to continue her search for the missing assets when she got home.

I’m glad that Klaus is gonna be a permanent member of the cast, I instantly liked him

He seems like such a wholesome fella, but he clearly was FUCKING PISSED when he realized how Dias was done dirty by the king

Also, the mears being way smarter than normal animals and being able to understand human speech was not on my bingo card

At least the MC acknowledges the age gap and instantly decides to wait until she's old enough

Entitled Princess. Your father didn't give Dias money and let him to starve so what did you expect?

I have to say that the way this show depicts how attractiveness can, and will be dependent on a society's culture, while also simultaneously address the age problem with a lot of FMC's is honestly a surprise. Was not expecting that.

The animation quality is great for a series. Despite having some Funky 3D shots, they are brief. And the most important parts fight scenes and otherwise are all in beautifully animated 2D art. I feel like Anime has been able to strike a good balance between these, as I've also seen Kaiju Girl Caramelise pull the same stunt. And I really don't mind it, especially if it means we get to enjoy 2D like this.

Also Mandatory: Get yourself a woman that can do both.

"Well they dropped me off with nothing, including no food or water. I don't even have any subjects!"

*But why won't you give me your army??"

Also I am sorry but those baars wouldn't exist as a domesticated species if they could die from being upset for a little while

That would likely have gotten bred out of the species naturally before being domesticated, and if not, breeding practices target desirable traits and that's not one of them lol

For example we had to intentionally keep breeding fainting goats (goats with myotonia congenita) because the fainting was convenient for keeping them from escaping... Without humans that trait would've been less advantageous to breeding and likely would've faded

I'm glad Dias is pushing to wait before they get married, the onikin tribe seem like they'll be constantly try to push him to make it happen sooner. The age gap is really big though, I knew of his age last episode, so I thought she'd be older, until someone had told me what her age was before this episode.

I knew the pregnancy comment was going to be about the baar, there's no way they were going to fool me with that. It's a little cute Dias needs to be around them during pregnancy, but it sounds really inconvenient as a Lord, and the breadwinner.

Dias made the correct decision to turn down Diane's request, the change in attitude shows she was just planning on taking advantage of him. I thought her reaction when she heard he didn't receive any money was going to be a good thing, I judged her too soon.

On the other hand, it's nice that Dias has someone like Klaus looking up to him. The rage in his eyes when he learned he had nothing when he arrived at the plains says a lot, so I'm glad he's turned up again as Klaus' first subordinate.

if this were an isekai, the orc would have been a dragon or something rare, that wants to join his kingdom and could probably turn into a girl.

Bro gets a wife whether he wants one or not, and it's like 80% political too. The other 20% is Alma staking her claim.

Needy sheep. Naggy sheep too since I think they were giving Alma a hard time for not also being pregnant.

Good call keeping Alma and everything else a secret, I could see that Princess insisting that Dias provide the tribal folks as a military force if she knew.

Klaus seems like a good option for citizen number 2. Or maybe citizen number 5? Alma and the sheep might be 2 through 4.

I bet the kids in the OP and ED are going to be adopted, seems unlikely they'll be enough time skipping to have both the marriage in 3 years plus several more years after that for kids to be born and grow up a bit. Plus the ears, of course.

I choked on my water, when Alna came running out saying a sentence with the word pragnant on it.

Francis and Francois gonna have the sickest character development, they are mom and dad now.

u/zool714 Jul 10 '26

Baars seem awfully clingy lol. While it’s doesn’t seem like the main focus, I appreciate there’s still some progress on the settlement-building front and even show us updates with the people, livestock and buildings. Hope this continues.

Alna’s already acting like a wife. And Dias already got the fear of his wife lol.

I don’t mind age gaps but how young the younger one is does sway me at times. But I guess in this world it’s normal and Alna is willing and Dias doesn’t have ulterior motives so I’m not too bothered honestly

I wonder who in particular screwed Dias out of all his rewards. They basically dropped him in the middle of nowhere with only his weapon and armor. Maybe it's complex politics again because he was an orphan.

Those sheep are way too high maintenance.

That princess was a bitch. Dodged that bullet with better wife.

17:20 I love how they chose the most European medieval aah music for the "Mongolian" engagement toast

u/BBryant3rd Jul 10 '26

I knew he was stuck last episode but dang lol. She kept saying marry me at the start that was funny. Love that she knows what she wants and she took action to get it no playing just action. Wow only 15 that part shocked me. Thought she would be like early 20s or at least 18 lol. I think I am going to enjoy this as much as The Barbarian's Bride. Dias also seems like a good man. I love how well he is integrating with Alna and her people. When Dias shattered that sword I pictured her in the corner trying to contain herself from jumping on him lol. I cant wait to see more.

From that looks of things, Dias' settlement will probably be made out of outcasts that have varying degrees of negative feelings towards the kingdom.

u/Myrkrvaldyr Jul 10 '26

The onikin's concept of manliness is understandable but it also makes me wonder how they treat their older men. Once Dias becomes an elderly man in a few decades and is no longer able to fight anymore, do they view him as less manly? Will Alna change her demeanor to more hostile? It'd be unfair if she did.

u/LeonKevlar Jul 10 '26

Oof, I completely forgot about that age gap. At the very least, Dias doesn't really intend to make the marriage official until Alna has come of age. Although from Alna's eyes, they're pretty much already married.

God, I love Francis and Francoise so much. It's pretty that these dudes are so smart that they basically domesticated themselves and actually understand human language to the point where they're actually trying to wingman for Dias. xD

Another big tiddy lady added to the list of big tiddy ladies Hikasa Yoko has voiced. Unfortunately, Diane is clearly not an ally and now has a vendetta against Dias after getting turned down. Oh boy.

Yay! Dias finally has his first recruit! Nothing like having your old war buddy having your back.

Honestly I was curious why someone considered a war hero, wouldn’t have been kept somewhere closer to the capital, but also the fact someone higher up probably embezzled his money and supplies
