| A secret inspection...no wonder Roxy is dressed like that. This episode felt like one long date between her and Fate. They got to spend a lot of time together even with some of the trouble at the market. That ending gives off an ominous vibe. Feels like they decided this episode would be about Roxy and Fate but I expect the story to move forward more soon. |
 |
| Roxy is out on a secret inspection, and Fate was supposed to be working in her mansion, which she just called him to be his bodyguard. How convenient. It's clearly a date of sorts between Roxy and Fate, not to mention Greed along with it, but the presence of holy knights almost hampered their progress. Surely, acting like lovers, this top-secret escort mission is proving to be tough for Fate. But a hearsay about a bag of goblin ears donated to the orphanage, that is definitely Fate in action, that has put people in peril. The roaming monster (which is defintely Fate), people are speculating about who will it be, and some adventurers almost mocked Roxy to reveal her true self to them, whih they share the joy. With Greed's maintenance done, the Vlerick family is once again back on bad terms, especially with a kid who has lost his way and needs help finding his mother. It's people like this that spurs Roxy to protect the people, and Fate would gladly help her out. That said, Fate needs a disguise to walk around, and bought her the ore that contained bits of the gem she saw in the town. These good times will not last long... |
 |
| Roxy's statement to the rest of the people inside the bar was spectacularly executed. It was real enough. Fate's monologue while he was with Roxy was so sweet while the BGM is playing... owo The animation is getting rusty. Especially here:  |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I can't stand this MC; he's as insufferable as any other generic fantasy MC, and he has the social ques of a walnut. He does understand that he's the only one that hears his sword right? Then there's no need to respond to every god damn jab the sword makes. Gave it three episodes and it didn't impress. 5/10 and dropped. |
| What a trash romance series. If you actually think about protag-kun as a mentally ill person out of his meds talking to himself and his sword it actually starts making some sense. Other than that, it's incredibly generic and boring. |
| it was a good episode |

| Is Roxy the new Clark Kent, master of disguise? Dude no one recognized her with pigtails. |
 |
| So this time we got the date episode.Roxy and Fate visited the town and Roxy saw how Holy knights treat others and how people perceive them. There are some cute romantic moments between Fate and Roxy in this episode.Good episode. |
 |
| Another annoyingly dense main character. Hope it picks up soon. |
| Nice date with Roxy. She looks cute with braided hair but I prefer her with open hair. |
 |
| Love it so far. Nothing special, but it is fun to watch. |

| I wouldn't say that it is bad, it's just bland. The dialogue is also just cringe in general, espically in this episode. And there's nothing much to say about the animation which is just bad in the first two episodes. What's making me continue this, is the "Greed & Gluttony" part of this serie which is interesting. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| well theres definitely "enough" difference in this one to keep me interseted for now at least the MC isnt running around one shotting everything, and he seems like he may actually have to struggle a bit... not to mention the possibility of him eventually attacking Roxy little things like that will keep me from dropping it ps: ofc.... ONLY ONE of the Holy Knights other than Roxy is a girl.... |

Oh you mean that scene where she, after fighting off a dude that would've had his way with her if she wasn't as strong, went on a guild trip, completely ignoring that said guy was just about to have his way with any other unlucky girl that might have been there in her stead. And then all had a good time including Mr Recreational Rape. Yea, that was totally not braindead. |
| This opening song is very good! unlike the anime which is getting more dull and boring with each episode. (٥↼_↼) |
 |
| Some charming moments before the real action. Didn't expect the whole episode to be about them, but I still like it though. |
| Man, all that constant talking out loud to his sword in front of Roxy and the Holy Knight was dumb, that trope was overused this episode, I can enjoy it being used once or twice for comedic effect, but they were just taking the piss lol... |
| I like the interaction between fate and greed, especially the way greed talks with his arrogance and fate is annoyed with him. I think they will stay like that in the future. |
| Where are the rest of the Holy Knights?! Rn it looking like it's Roxy vs the rest of those corrupt fools.....like is this the whole squad? She gotta lot of work cut out for her to correct their image... |

| You sound fun....like lots of fun to be around. You do know that there are multiple ways to correct action and prevent escalation? And this was portrayed as one of them that fits her character. She also literally pushed the guy across the room immediately, I'd say she was aware of the situation and it's insinuation. You the type to probably beat your kid cause anything else would be braindead lol |

| I thought making the character so black and white in personality is already bad enough, now the MC is dumb enough to keep talking back to his sword when he's with someone. Asinine. Dropped. |
 |
| Im a bit unclear on how that mask will work but i guess we will see. Im assuming it makes the person wearing it look like a different person but not the same person to who looks at them. |

| What the hell is up with the flashback? Please tell me that was not Roxy, but her mom or something. . . But if it was her mom, why does she look so young? Also, whoever did the scene of Roxy gazing at the mom and boy walking away. You have my flowers, that was fantasticly beautiful!! |

| That talking repeatedly to the sword was not necessary. And Roxy's reaction was out of character, she should've been angry or weirded out or maybe suspicious, not sad??? She has a very strong personality and background. It really felt like the author had to make her weak for MC so they can romance. Also, the "inspection" interaction with Roxy was so bad. The embarrassment between the 2 was painful to watch. Worst episode so far |
| well... i agree with all the people saying it is bland. characters are all generic. they do not have anything that makes me want to know them more. well, greed is a bit different because there is a layer of mystery to it as its history is unknown at the moment. male mc is meh. female mc is cringe (for me). the character designs and animation are fairly nice though. but that's about it i guess. story ain't much either. |
 |
| Man, this one was insufferable at times, and I was relieved to see my reasons were felt by others. I kept looking for something to like, but it's challenging. |
| roxy is cute that is enough to keep me interested |
 |
| Decent episode although it was a little slow and I was not expecting romance in this but Fate and Roxy definitely had a date. I was also a bit annoyed when Fate kept talking back to his sword and Roxy could only hear Fate so he should've just gone quiet after the first time Roxy thought he was talking to her. The Vlericks made a cameo and were they trying to kidnap that kid?! Also at the end they talked about an excursion to Galia, curious to see what that's about. I did miss watching action sequences in this episode so hopefully we get some in the next episode. |
| With Fate constantly talking to his sword after every jab even though he knows that only he can hear it, quite annoying. Definitely a rough episode for this week. |
