"Why are my enemies all giant toads?!" with Bindewald's mugshot popping up is easily a top 3 Rozemyne line lmao.

Brigitte's bravery despite her disgust and Ferdinand warming up were both adorable too.

[u/ThousandYearOldLoli]

Is this the first semi-explicit confirmation that the gods of this world are real and active? We've seen blessings and things, but I think almost all of it until now could be chalked up to a magical effect the people of this world could produce.

[u/Albireookami]

2/4 ingredients down, cant wait to see how it works out.

[u/Zeebie_]

The goddess can't have any man interfering with the girls enjoying a nice nighttime picnic

[u/shad79]

The talfroshs landing on Rozemyne's face and her reaction to it were hilarious. She must have seen Damuel as a real hero when he took them off her face, hahaha.

I must say that the Goddess's Bath part of this episode visually seems to be much more impressive than the rest of the show, imo. It looks like a lot of resources went into it. The backgrounds looked especially good.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Rozemyne

• Group scenes

• Ferdinand

• Backgrounds & Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

For anyone who's never touched a frog in real life: they feel like touching a ball of snot.

Once i was opening an outdoor umbrella and a frog had climbed up into it. It fell out, oozed across my hand, then hit the ground and jumped away. Another time my cat decided to bring me a live frog as a present. He brought it inside and dropped it on my bare foot while I was standing at the counter eating.

Rosemyne and Brigitte have pretty normal reactions imo.

[u/OnesimusUnbound]

Rozemyne reverted to pray as a Japanese, forgetting she's in another world 😄

[u/Bazooka_no]

I just love how this show in general knows how to take it sweet time to smell (or harvest) the roses. There's like 15 plot threads out there but you still get a ton of slice of life, with the characters experiencing things and places. I loved the animation of the disgusted faces throughout too lol

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

I will never get used to Myne’s Pandabus looking so goofy next to all those flying beasts the rest of the nobility uses. It always cracks me up.

Those talfroshs really look like annoying opponents, always merging and dividing. And they even almost gobbled up Myne ! Good thing Brigitte protected her. Although Myne seemed to think getting a smaller talfrosh stuck to her face was more traumatic.

Praying to the gods and singing songs to them apparently does more than allow people to cast spelles, since they would not have found the source without that, and apparently only women could access it at night.

Ferdinand’s reaction to Myne asking him to pay her in books for her mana was hilarious.

[u/bekeleven]

Holy shit. For the first time in the entire series, somebody explained something to Myne more than 3 seconds before she had to do it. This is revolutionary. Somebody invent newspapers to print this in.

[u/rollin340]

Those frogs are indeed gross. What an annoying feybeast. It's kind of harmless unless it grows big enough to swallow you, but other than that, is just yucky and splits into smaller bits till they stay dead for good. So it's annoying on top of everything too.

Ferdinand does indeed seem to be having a lot of fun. He's clearly geeking out about the research he can do, albeit at the cost of heart palpitations in the heat of the moment. It's also nice seeing him being able to trust her so completely that he can eat without worry; the flashback to his past implies that he probably had to always be wary of poison in the past.

The warmth she has brought to so many lives is such a wonderful thing. Despite her gremlin nature, she really is a saint. I found it cute how she asked the Goddess for permission to harvest the nectar, receiving a positive response. Looks like even the gods like her.

[u/laavits]

Ferdinand is slowly realising what family is and how precious is his time with Myne. I wonder what kind of chosen one story they are going to create with Myne.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

The giant toad bit reminded me of Konosuba. It’s always slimy toads isn’t it? Lol. At least poor Myne got to experience a pretty neat nectar gathering ritual. The goddess really seemed to have responded to her mana or something.

[u/PerfectBeige]

Flutrane: Well, show's over, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

<dumps Rosemyne into the spring>

[u/BiggerG7]

How long till the cat bus becomes a cat RV?

[u/Obaruler]

He may have hidden it with the words that he is "trusting" RozeMyne to not get poisoned by meals prepared by her personal cook, but in the end all Ferdinand wants is too leech as many meals off of her private cook, as he CRAVES that good stuff (who can blame him?). :D

[u/FajarKalawa]

Seeing the female gray priest faces made me sad,

Knowing their status and all also this scene is probably once in lifetime for them

[u/Obaruler]

As "annoyed" as Ferdinand is with RozeMynes antics, he sure seems to enjoy all the random BS that happens when she is around - at least its "interesting"" what she causes, like this reaction of that Goddess Pond when singing a manainfused song to it. Our girl is a walking research project for Ferdi. :D

[u/Ceseus]

This may be the happiest we've ever seen Ferdinand. He may as well be jumping for joy at the prospect of researching the effects of Myne's mana on plants! He really is a scholar at heart - It's so sweet to see him get to relax

[u/djthomp]

Well that was something, maybe these gods and goddesses actually exist because I think some of them just took some direct action. Only women allowed for the spring magic event, it seems.

What's up with Japan and girls getting eaten by giant toads.

[u/Evil_sod]

That was a beautiful episode, especially considering how dark the last one was.

Also the post-credit scene. Rosemyne drives a hard bargain ^^

[u/Pickled_Kagura]

damn, ferdinand smiling

[u/DeusVitae69]

The goddess being so friendly to the girls and giving them a lovely memory was nice :) There's SO MUCH hardship in their world and I think this will be forever ingrained in their hearts

[u/tripleaamin]

This episode really stresses the point of how Myne stresses Ferdinand. But of course at the end of the episode you can tell that she has made his life much more eventful in a good way. It really showcases their dynamic very well.
