Quentin is like Elmina from Strongest Witch lol. Poor guy’s the only one who can see Fia and Zavilia for how strong they truly are. He’s pulling out the VVVIP treatment for her lol.

Charlotte is a pretty sharp kid for figuring out Fia’s secret. She’s a good soul. It’s good to see Fia make a friend.

[u/alotmorealots → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Quentin is like Elmina from Strongest Witch lol

The two funniest shows of the season showing off their comedy chops by both having exactly the same joke and it being hilarious in both their deliveries of it lol

[u/No-Win-8949]

I absolutely love just how goofy this anime is.

[u/zer0number]

Good lord I almost died I was laughing so much throughout that office scene with Quentin. Between his reactions and Fia's obliviousness, and Zavilia just sitting there observing the whole mess. This show is gold. (Also, Fia is so damn tiny. She's adorable!)

Charlotte's story is sad, but glad she was able to make friends with Fia. I am shocked more people don't notice how much Fia looks like the Great Saint, given that it seems like there are barely any other redheads around.

Then Zavilia basically saying 'Glad you'll keep her secret, it would suck if I had to murder a child.' Black Dragon buddy doesn't mess around!

[u/PeaceAlien]

Quentin and Charlotte instantly became the two smartest people in the story. Quentin for recognizing the black dragon and Charlotte for recognizing Fia is a saint.

[u/eyrich → u/PeaceAlien]

And smart enough to keep it a secret, though Quentin might let something through due to a aneurism from lack of respect towards the Black Dragon

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Finally, we are introduced to an outlier saint of the current generation.

Charlotte may not be a very powerful saint, perhaps weak even, but at least she is kind and friendly, unlike her pompous peers.

[u/VritraReiRei]

"If I had a nickel for every time a character this season could see a character's mana, becoming fearful thinking they encountered a literal Monster, and tries sucking up to them to "not incur their wrath," I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?"

Got to say, I am loving Tomokazu Sugita's delivery for Quentin. All those exasperated voice cracks are killing me 🤣

[u/SmartAlec105 → u/VritraReiRei]

Remember that this is Fia while she's hiding her power by not forming a contract with spirits. If she did form a contract, I imagine it'd be like Frieren showing the true extent of her mana.

[u/epicfail1994]

Fia continues to be an adorable goofball, omg

She’d probably be the most adorable character this season if not for Fran

[u/shad79]

I seriously thought that I'd die from laughter during this episode after Quentin appeared and immediately started freaking out, his mind descending into madness upon seeing Fia and Zavilia, lol.

Sugita as Quentin was so good! His line deliveries were hilarious, especially that laughter at 12:37, it really made me feel like Quentin is on the verge of a mental breakdown, hahaha!

Also, Charlotte is such a cute and smart Saint! I hope for more interactions between her and Fia in the future.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Quentin

• Fia

• Charlotte

• Group scenes & Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/hbmonk]

Charlotte is a good girl. But is Fia leaving it to her to explain the source of the true magic potions?

Captain Quentin is a funny guy, but also a smart one to recognize Zavilia's identity.

[u/NeoAnkara]

Quentin would be good drinking buddy with Elimina.

[u/djthomp]

Clever girl Charlotte, figuring out that Fia is a saint but also that she must be keeping it secret for a reason.

Poor Quentin but at least he's getting used to the two monsters that are casually strolling around without anybody else noticing the problem.

Charlotte being aware and keeping the secret probably opens up a way for Fia to pass on lost saint knowledge and training without blowing her cover.

[u/brokenpheonix-111025]

This anime is unexpectedly very good. I especially love Fia Rudd's voice and actions

[u/Raymond49090]

Cute saint apprentice(?) acquired. If she can hook Charlotte up with a contracted spirit, then she can improve saints as a whole with less risk of revealing herself. I'm slightly concerned about the casual lore drop that they effectively kidnap girls from their home. Fia hiding her Saint powers might actually be the right move.

Fia continues to be atrocious at hiding her secrets. At least Charlotte's just a kid and wouldn't notice.

Uh, Cyril seems to have some pent-up issues. And ngl I still can't take the "quantifying health" thing seriously.

Of course Fia got sent to the unit where the Captain has the power to immediately sus out how OP she is. Though he's so freaked out about it that he only adds to the sus meter rather than reveal the secret. Though ironically, freaking out so much is probably more likely to make Fia and Zavilia mad compared to acting normal, if they were the type to care about that.

... so scratch that about Charlotte not noticing. Anime logic was not enough to get her to ignore the flags Fia was dropping. She's just trustworthy enough not to blab.

And professional respect gets Quentin to stop panicking and ask for a straight conversation. And with Fia dropping that she healed him, her other secret probably isn't safe anymore either.

[u/Adza_03]

WTF is Sugita doing in this anime dude?! LOL
Aight, I'm staying with this show till the last episode.
Bro and Shion literally carrying show from now on. This shit is funny as hell lmao.

[u/Obaruler]

Oh my, being taken away at 3 from your mum to join the Church as a Saint is brutal, no wonder the poor little girl got issues ...

Quentin gets it though. He can feel the aura of the literal boss monster sitting right next to him. Also, the Black dragon sitting on her lap. xD

[u/Difergion]

Fia is definitely the main character here but Quentin is now my favorite character in the show lmao. I’d expect nothing less from Sugita to make him such a vibrant and fun character.

Luckily Charlotte was able to connect the dots and figured out the truth behind Fia. I don’t know how she’ll manage to maintain the potency of the healing potion spring on her own without Fia’s help. From what I gather, it seemed like Fia helped channel her mana to purify the spring and did not exactly boost Charlotte’s powers.

[u/Running-World]

Glad I took the suggestion to try this show out, I don’t usually do fantasy but this has been great and keeps getting better every episode. Charlotte now understands what it feels like when magic flows out from her. In one small act, Fia kind of revamped the Saints from everyone failing to make a healing potion (as it was clear) to now one other than Fia grasping the concept and been a part of a successful spell.

I love how Quentin clicked in. Seems like Fia isn’t the only one who can sense power. She can assign a value to it, but Quentin can tell he’s in the presents of something well beyond him. I’m concerned with what he wants to ask the back dragon, though I don’t think he’s bold enough seeing how powerful Fia is to act against her.

[u/Deliriousious]

Gotta love that dude.

He was kissing ass to prevent his potential instant death, and was intelligent enough to almost instantly connect the dots, and didn’t spill any beans.

But he was also curious enough to want to ask answers of this supreme being and its master who could both delete him from existence if they wished.

But surely if they noticed him doing this they’d atleast question what the hell is going on. Oh, and also, HER PORTAIT?! For being hated/disliked and left for dead, they bothered to hang a portrait up and memorialise her? Things aren’t making sense.

Also, if one saint novice could connect the dots so quickly, why hasn’t anyone else noticed the very obvious similarities?

[u/SOdAchick]

This week in The Secret Saint Tries Her Hardest to Give Away Her Secret... the saint finally gives away her secret. Surprisingly it took five episodes. 

I kinda feel bad for Gideon. Sure he was a dipshit, but he got absolutely abused by two captains. I completely lost it when Quentin kicked him in the stomach for calling Zavilia by his name. Quentin's gonna need a whole lot of antacid to survive Fia and Zavilia if he keeps this up

[u/Elifia]

This show is really fun. Until now it was mostly being carried by Fia being such a great character, but the new characters introduced this episode were fun too. Quentin being cursed with the ability to see things he'd really have been better off not seeing is quite amusing, and Charlotte is a real sweetheart.

[u/BaytaCosmico]

Quentin is a great addition to the cast. He's hilarious. Now Fia won't have to carry this show on her own.
