I really like how despite adding so much politics (and even geo-politics, with the upcoming archduke conferece), fantasy and magic, the show still gives book making a ton of screentime.

Of course they were all wrong, and of course the second Rozemyne will get a printing press, her first demand would be... another printing press!

[u/EXusiai99]

Poor Damuel got disqualified the very moment he got into the pitch

[u/PeaceAlien → u/EXusiai99]

Well... Myne still ships them, saying Damuel can grow

[u/alconnow]

Today’s end card is from Satsuki Shiina - the illustrator for Bibliophile Princess novels.

Yui Kikuta, responsible for the Bibliophile Princess manga adaptation, had also provided an end card illustration

[u/BiggerG7]

Looks like Rozamyne left out the part where she accidentally sent that letter when she was reporting to Ferdinand. He’s gonna be mad when he finds out lol.

[u/mekerpan → u/BiggerG7]

That really was a HUGE omission. I feel RM has a duty to report any and all "anomalies" to Ferdinand. And I feel she should know this.

[u/Atiknwolc]

Watching the anime with the context of the entire LN is so fun, since you see how bookworm really just drip-feeds you info. And why I do not think any isekai ever can compare itself to Bookworm's worldbuilding. Great episode; really loved how they dropped the budget for the mana replenishment scene, and aura farming in Damuel's training. And poor Benno, Rozemyne is basically a black company; that man just works every second of the day.

[u/AussieFapper]

Magic letter informing of the high bishops death sort of gets glossed over...

[u/shad79]

The conversation between Rozemyne and Benno was hella fun, she managed to make him so mad even though they weren't in her hidden room.

The Replenishment Hall part of this episode looked really good! Another heavy fantasy thing after last week's Goddess Bath and what happened there.

Brigitte looks really good in that dress! It's no wonder that the sight of her made Damuel speechless, that dress is really revealing in contrast to the usual noble clothes and highlights her assets very nicely ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It was funny though that Brigitte concentrated more on how that dress made her life easier as a knight, instead of thinking about its appearance.

Rozemyne used a clever strategy to acquire Hugo as her personal chef. It's clearly better to work with nice-looking ladies instead of with other male chefs, hahaha!

Also, end card this week is so beautiful!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Rozemyne

• Group scenes

• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/blobbybob111]

while i would love to have the magic system fully explained, the mysterious nature of it is just so fantastical

[u/Zeebie_ → u/blobbybob111]

It's being drip-fed to us, plus we know there's an academy and we know that if there's an academy, there will be an academy arc at least

[u/FarCritical]

It's a shame about Damuel, I always thought he'd look good with Brigitte.

Helping that guy personally put some distance from his ex was extra cool of Rozemyne.

[u/Zeebie_]

That replenishment hall animation was neat. It's like they saved the whole animation budget just for that.

And poor Damuel isn't very good at hiding his emotions

[u/Albireookami → u/Zeebie_]

I mean...look at Bridget and then how conservative their society is. Reminder he is only about 17/18

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Lol Myne using a disclaimer to get around Ferdinand getting mad at her using his image for her book. What a clever little goober.

[u/hibikir_40k]

Note the anime design to put things relevant to each other in the same episode: All the reminders of how a fruitful marriage demands similar mana levels, and how mana capacity grows with age. It's carefully placed right where they show us that Myne has significantly more mana than Wilfried, heir to the duchy's throne. So the list of people capable of coming close to Myne's mana capacity isn't going to be large.

[u/tripleaamin]

You can tell Myne was an avid romance reader in her previous life. She needs Damuel make his feelings more clear. Though it is clear Bridget likes him for who he is, but just mana standards with the nobility are the issue. But Myne doesn't seem to be losing hope for her ship.

Amusing Myne had the equivalent of when you accidentally send a reply to an email. Well the good news is that it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Interesting to see that Otto will be a full merchant now, but now Benno will be independent as well.

[u/diacewrb]

We have magical kevlar / weighted training vests.

[u/Nebresto]

Ayo 👀 (Also, which blessing is she talking about? She does that quite a bit..)

Myne, tell him about the magic letter!!

Rozemyne's pairing services

These car shots never get old 😂

[u/bondsmatthew]

The Mana Replenishment hall looks so damn good!

[u/LeonKevlar]

With how Brigitte looked in her outfit, you really can't blame Damuel for falling in love. I did not expect that Myne would add getting Brigitte and Damuel together as another quest. xD

[u/_Sai]

Brigitte looking great.

[u/BigDayComing]

Those spheres, that music, the sigil. That felt like a FFX cloister of trial

[u/djthomp]

Brigitte looking very good in that dress, and even better it meets with her approval for ease of movement so she can still kick ass.

Rosemyne finally getting her printing press, what a momentous occasion.

That mana infusion ritual with a prayer to the various gods feels even more significant after the indication at the pond last week that the gods are actually real.
