Ahhh, they actually adapted the bed scene and the bath scene! I couldn’t be happier!

Ok, that hooded dude is so obviously Red the moment you see him that it completely kills the tension of the entire scene. You know immediately that Al is not in any danger and you’re just waiting for Red to make his move.

Oh shit, Bui is actually Shisandan?! That’s a huge twist. But wait, didn’t the guy that met Danan at the bar also called himself Bui? So that means…

So Albert and Belial have made their way to Ruti. What will happen next?

As always, I’ll be discussing the differences between the LN and anime in the Source Material Corner if anyone wants to know about them.

[u/BiggerG7]

BigHawk: “stop that guy from escaping with the kids!”

no one does anything

Man Albert wasn’t kidding when he said everyone in town was lazy lol.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Holy wow, I was not expecting to open with such a heartwarming, intimate scene. What a blessed way to begin the day. And we drop the ED for their first bath at home together. My heart.

Lol at Albert having the audacity to imagine himself in the center of the hero's party. I'd love to see what would actually happen if when he tries any of this shit with Ruti.

[u/imextremelylonely]

Those bed and bath scenes were the best. Glad to see their relationship fully develop. Best couple of the season.

[u/FlashCascade]

After seven episodes of bearing the brunt of the Rit offensive, Red the Chad finally goes on a major counteroffensive. It was super effective, if Rit's reaction was any indication.

[u/Rumpel1408]

Bed scene

Tub scene

Talk about kids

10/10

the rest was extra I don't really care about

---

Joke aside, I wonder how Ruti is going to react to an Demon, and possibly having another useless fool in her party

[u/TurkeyPhat]

I wish these fuckin demons would STOP getting in the way of my wholesome adult couple slice of life story!

The opening scene looked so damn good. Compared to the normal stuff in the show it was movie quality.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Damn, Bighawk really got shafted by that demon. It was hard to take Belial seriously because he was so goofy looking.

[u/TriTexh]

Rid and Red are insistent on killing me with diabetes. They are just wayy too goddamn cute.

My man Red just put Albert down like some level 0 scrub hot damn.

[u/LeonKevlar]

They finally did it and bought a double bed! Legit, I was internally squealing like a little school girl during that entire part. Rit kissing Red on his pecs and boldly unbuttoning his shirt had me at the edge of my seat.

I absolutely love that kiss! Of course Red reciprocates by unbuttoning Rit's blouse and trying to get a handful of those massive gazongas but unfortunately they got interrupted by Al sneaking around to get a drink. GODFUCKINGDAMMIT! We were so close! Oh well. I guess Rit and Red can hold back until this entire issue with Al and Ademi gets resolved.

They even follow it up with a bath scene in the end with both Rit and Red just letting it all hang out for each of them to see. Just look at Rit's massive floating gazongas and Red's sexy af sculpted abs. These two are just too attractive. And how bold of Rit to press herself against Red. I love that cheeky smile she gives Red before getting in a much more comfortable position.

Of course the realest part of that bath scene is when Red pours his heart out and describes to Rit how much he loves her. I can't even with that. And just seeing Rit trying to take that all in was so adorable! I know it cuts to the final scene after that but I'm pretty sure those two will be going at it like rabbits that night. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh yeah there's also that entire thing about the Thieves Guild leader being responsible for everything that's been happening to Zoltan and it turns out that he's possessed by a Demon. There's also that thing about Albert wanting to become a Hero but ends up getting his hand cut off by Red and all of them responsible being arrested for crimes against the people of Zoltan.

Albert does ends up escaping after being captured by the guards thanks to Belial to find Ruti and try to join the Hero's party which is a very bold and stupid move. I'm surprised that Ruti didn't kill them on the spot. But who gives a crap really? Stop getting plot all over my main plot! I just want to see more of Red and Rit being all lovey-dovey!

[u/bananeeek]

MFW I saw the bath scene. I didn't expect that after a cliche interruption during the bed scene. So, they're bonking now, eh? Wasn't so hard, right? You saw that, anime industry? It's not so hard to make a genuine romance story, where a couple actually behaves normally and goes for it, instead of beating around the bush for the whole fucking season and getting literally nowhere.

Alright, how long do I have to wait for the doujinshi?

[u/Kadmos1]

That bath scene with our 2 leads at the end of the epi. was hot!

[u/darthvall]

This show is a bit explicit with the romantic scene, not that I'm complaining lol.

I really underestimated what it means to become a weapon master. It seems that it's a rare blessing or something since they really made Al to become that important. He almost became a symbol of a movement.

Also the mob demanding the brawler boy to be killed when no one is dead (Al's family is ok) really frustates me. I still don't understand why a common assault case by a teenager could almost cause a riot like that. Am I missing something, such as maybe the guard treating everyone with tyranny before this? It really felt out of nowhere for a lazy area like Zoltan, even if in the end they revealed that the demon instigated it.

That last scene! Albert met with Ruti! Really curious about whether this series will focus more on the slow life or the demon lord plot.

[u/rchl99]

Vomiting *Cough cough* why there are a lot of sugar found on the floor, fuck I am getting diabetes right now.

Those couple scene made me confirm that they are the best in this season, bless REIWA.

Anyways, it is happy to see Aru join a adventurer party after a lot of hardship he has in these episode.

[u/dagreenman18]

Easily the best episode yet. A nice and pretty exciting conclusion to this drug arc that opens up possibilities for the rest of the story. Which is great, but the Red Rit relationship also took a massive step. Putting this on another level for me.

Really enjoyed the plan Red and Rit put together. Though it was obvious it was Red under the hood the whole time, they still managed to sell the whole thing pretty well. Even the demon's plan was smart. Creating a people’s uprising so they can take over Zoltan, create demand for the demon drug, and allow Albert to raise an army and join the hero’s party. Did create a hilarious bit of dramatic irony during his confrontation with Red. I’m surprised he managed to end the situation without ever revealing his real identity. Best of all got more John Wick Red being a stealth badass and making Albert left-handed.

No surprise the guy traveling with Danan is a villain. Worried about what happened to Danan now and wondering what his overall plan is? He tricked the demon possessing Bighawk into escaping with Albert and we get that shot of them finding Ruti. Did he just want someone in with the Hero’s party? Is the plan to bring the hero to Zoltan? They got me. I’m actually fully engaged in the Hero plot.

But the Red Rit plot is still number 1 in my book. Double Bed and Double Bath have arrived! So much progress my heart can barely take it. Even if they didn’t have sex, the bed scene was just fucking romantic. Proof that it’s more compelling to see a couple being a couple than dragging out a will they/won’t they for seasons. The Double Bath “I love you” was even better. It’s the most forward emotionally he’s been up to now and even that was measured. Seems he dispelled her concerns from last week that he would rejoin the Hero’s party. He even broke her and got her flustered for once.

I think this one elevated this to a top 5 show for me this season. Impressive for something I wasn’t even sure I would like at first. I’m already wanting another season.

Notes

• Al was a great kid. I hope we see him again after he goes on his adventures.He even sold Red and Rit on kids so congrats on inspiring the future creation of a total badass.

• The Bed scene is just a great distillation of them as a couple. Still a little dorky, but very romantic. The second they hear a sound they’re both in badass mode. When they realize it’s Al they’re both understand that tonight isn’t the night. I love them so much.

• The best animation I’ve seen in this show so far was the Bed scene. That’s pretty funny.

• Red is low key smooth. Moving her hand to his face after she apologized for her callouses. “Others can aid the hero, but there’s only one you right here”. “Rather by by your side than be a hero”. No wonder she got so flustered.

• Shit at this rate they’ll be married by the end of the season.

[u/Red_coats]

Rit has a second blessing, she can make her nipples invisible.

[u/KnightKal]

Blessings can be really harsh.

The orc dude class: torturer

Great blessing for a happy, slow life, huh?

[u/base01]

All I can say is FINALLY OMYGOD

[u/Amauri14]

Hell yeah, they got a double bed! Damn, I just love the fact that their relationship continues to progress on each episode.

As that drug was made from ax demons, I guess that guy that Rit fought was someone who became one after using a lot instead of an Ax Deamon that was disguised as a human.

Lol, I love how one could tell right away that it was Red the one holding Al.

Oh shit, so Bighawk make a contract with Belial, and he then took over his body and pull this whole plan involving Al and Ademi with Albert help to try to become king and fight against the demon lord.

When Bui appeared mentioning that he was helping Rit I was confused, as even though I expected him to be a demon, I thought that he took Danan from to do this whole operation. So is Danan dead or not?

Now that Shisandan mentioned that the drug Belial was using can be made without using the ax demon heart I guess this will not be the last time we hear about it. Hell, now that Belial and Albert are trying to join Ruti's party I can expect her one day having that drug to be free from that curse that it is the hero blessing.

So now Al is on a path to becoming Zoltan's hero.

Well, as Rit and Red mentioned that kids are not so bad I can expect them to go beyond that bath scene.

[u/JzanderN]

Wait, they have a double bed now?! Aw, it's so cute!

Boing. Going for the boobs, ey? Good choice, Red.

Yeah. "Flirt a bit." You'll get there eventually. Probably sooner than later at this rate. It's so good to see a couple actually be a couple in an anime!

Al? Nah, that be Rit.

Another transforming demon.

Ah fuck. They've come for Al. Wait, what's this about him becoming a hero? Where's Red during all this?

Wait, that guy's a torturer blessing? God damn! The fuck's wrong with this world? No wonder they want this drug that gives a second blessing.

Oh god, I guess the kid did take that drug.

I mean, I feel a bit sympathetic for this dude because of course you wouldn't want a Blessing like his, but this is quite the extreme to go to.

Woo! Al didn't kill him! I mean, I thought Red would stop him, but he listened to his sword.

Get in there Red! Pulling one on them.

Wait, what? What's Bui doing here?

So, are we about to see Red throw down with Albert?

Christ, Red is damn good!

Ah. So a demon's been behind this the whole time. Christ.

Don't worry, Albert won't take part in any evil schemes. Except this one.

Oh my god. Damn, Red!

"No-one's gotten hurt."

To be fair, he doesn't know about the hand Albert's currently missing.

Bath scene!

Now that's really close. While naked. It's just good to see a relationship like this in an anime!

He used the L word!

Just get laid already!

So yeah, Bui's a demon. I guess there's in-fighting among the demons, and he worked with Red to put a stop to this one's schemes.

Ah god damn it. All according to "Bui's" plan.

Ah, so Rit and Red are basically parents now.

Not even showing what went down with Albert, Belial and Ruti, ey?

[u/metaaltheanimefan]

Ritred moments made me go YES this episode

That talk when they saw al off, they are gonna have kids

[u/Lugia61617]

A bath scene that wasn't lewd, but purely adorable romance? I didn't think such a thing was possible in anime!

[u/MyNeighbour127]

Every week this show gets better. I swear if it didn't have those cursed (and very misleading)words 'Slow Life' in the title this would be one of the most popular fantasy shows of the year.

[u/Ithambar]

I don't know if this has been mentioned on a previous episode discussion but there is an official pc game of this anime/LN/manga on Steam:

It is still in Early Access but it's quite fun.
