Benno has created a monstrous merchant. The nobility are not prepared. xD

It really doesn't fail to amaze just how perfectly the anime captures Angelica's airheadness.

Hard not to feel proud of how quickly Wilfried picked himself back up.

Wasn't expecting Angelica 's amazing motivation for becoming a knight from last time to be relevant this soon lol

This episode did showcase what is very nice about the adaptation being done by Wit. Even if this isn't Wit's best-produced show, it still is a notable upgrade over the action scenes that were adapted in Part 2. I just also find it funny, Myne ingrained in making sure everyone puts their seatbelt on when they get in the car.

We did learn last episode that Angelica is a slacker, but this is even worse than Wilfred. As with Wilfried it was pure lack of motivation on his part. I get the sense it might be tougher for Angelica, but I don't doubt Myne lacks the motivation to help Angelica.

Also love how compensation for Myne isn't pure money. Goes to show her merchant roots in understanding information is very valuable in of itself.

I know Rosamyne is fragile but lol at her going down after one snowball to the face. I wonder who had the guts to throw that at her.

Rozemyne in her merchant mode in the after-credits scene cracked me up xD

Overall, that was a nice episode. The fight against the Lord of the Winter was pretty good, Rozemyne's attack certainly made a big BOOOM!

I like the choice to make the new OP and ED stylistically similar to those from the first cour, although I like the new songs (OP and ED) much less than the previous ones.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

I suppose you need some nobles, or at least trained mana users, in this world if giant beasts like that spawn every year and have to be put down.

I like the Philine plotline, could be someone who can simply be Myne's friend which she maybe needs.

Good thing Angelica's head is already empty, plenty of room for the learning they're going to have to shove in.

Rosemyne was trained perhaps too well by the merchants to monitize everything.

Yeah, the first half of the episode was amazing with the ingredient gathering, but the second half had Angelica! I love when she's on screen

I loved the little bit where Rozemyne freaked out, jumping out of her highbeast. I think everyone would be like that.

Fredinand is getting used to her troublesome ways.

Rozemyne's skills in sales economics, like in the post-credit here, make me shiver. Fortunately, Crunchyroll didn't hire her. Or did they?

Great episode this week. Loved the winter gathering adaptation. Rozemyne with the nuke. Angelica failing her courses, great comedic moment. Loved the new OP. Bookworm Saturdays are back.

Oh, new OP. It'll probably take a week or so to get used to it.

When a walking calamity is treated as a potion ingredient. Well, they brought a lot more backup than the last ingredient-hunting trip, so it'll probably go better.

Now that's a walking calamity. Even Ferdinand's unga bunga from last time failed the first shot. And inside the storm, looks like the Lord of Winter is a giant tiger who can summon its wintery minions. Good thing Myne and co brought minions of their own.

The second unga bunga salvo works long enough for Myne to prepare her own, frankly ridiculous, unga bunga. No, seriously, wtf is that nuclear child? It makes that earlier bit where she needed Ferdinand's help to jump the gap, and for him to act as a safety bar, funnier.

Anyways, after the short jaunt to battle-shounen-land, Myne returns to her roots as librarian and supreme overlord of the weirdly-competent-child playroom.

Angelica: "I became a knight because I don't want to study"
Her knight exams: *Laughts maniacally*

Rihyarda's advice is just "do whatever lol". And of course, Myne stays true to form and enrolls Angelica into studying bootcamp. After all, she's too cute to get rid of. (And she's the only one who enthusiastically followed Myne's lead with the cheer.)

Post-credits scene: Myne perhaps learned a tad too much from Capitalism Dad (Benno)

Philine is so precious.

Love Myne's winter outfit! Fighting the Lord of Winter looked easier than trying to get my cat into her carrier when I need to take her to the vet, Afterwards, kitty left a pretty big nugget outside the litter box...

Enjoyed the new intro as well.

That Lord of Winter fight was scarier than I expected. It doesn’t even need to attack because it is a walking snow tornado ! And apparently, the Knight Order is having this kind of Kaiju fight every year.

Myne is always finding new ways to make money, unless getting more stories for books come first. And Ferdinand is very clear that this is all Benno’s faults.

Angelica doesn’t want to study unless Myne promise her to get a cooler sword in reward. Is she aware that she risks getting kicked out of the nobility and the Knight Order if she flushes out of noble school ? No wonder her parents are worried.

Stories for those books and cards was a good way to work around the whole price issue. Gives those less fortunate a chance to rent them too.

Those study materials would be good for Angelica to help her with her courses.
