I think Alina might of initially underestimated the scope of this festival. As tough as it was, it's Alina so she had to work herself to make it work.

On another note, I lowkey enjoy watching her and Lululee's friendship. She might be one of the friends she gets along with really well.

Ahhhhh my Jade and Alina ship is getting stronger and stronger by the week! Once they deal with this fake Dia artefact rumor, we’ll get that festival date. Something tells me there’s gonna be a bit more to this rumor than meets the eye though. Knowing Alina’s luck no way it’ll be as easy as just talking about it.

Respect to Jade for just straight up asking Alina out too. That was really cute.

S/O to Takarie for another amazing performance today btw, that scene when Jade told her about the rumor in the guildmaster’s office was so good.

The silver sword members getting Lululee a new staff was so sweet omg. Such a healthy group dynamic. She’s dealing with a lot of trauma and everyone’s just being patient and kind to her. Love it

I'm grateful to see Jade's teammate, Lowe, in shirtless, but I won't be satisfied unless Jade undressed before me.

There are more receptionists than before, but Alina is still doing most of the work due to her nature. And this rumor situation makes her suffer even more.

I'm wondering if she also miss this year festival, does it mean she'll get another Dia skill? That'd be a nice trade-off, even though Alina herself definitely won't agree with me.

Alina working hard to enjoy the event tho it still looks like she might not get to enjoy it.
And Lululee seems to have some doubts about her skill, guess she needs some confidence.

Honestly, Jade needs to back off Alina. He’s acting like a creeper who can’t take no for an answer besides Alina is a bad ass who doesn’t need a man to tie her down

Overtime master lol what a title. One of the rules of being an attacker is never to get greedy when on the assault. A rule that Cybil clearly never learned. Considering the power that a Dia skill provides such a rumour would easily spread like wildfire. Hopefully Lulu's new staff would allow her to regain her confidence. Guess the best time and place to discuss ultra secret stuff is with Alina at her desk while she's doing OT lol.

Why doesn't she just ask for time off during the festival? Then she could enjoy the whole day and not just time after work.

@Mirality Maybe she can if she has a date with someone. I think that is where Jade was going with that.

Alina's legs are so enticing. Other points of interest are the presence of generic receptionists (Guildmaster was true to his word), and the Silver Sword's simulation training. Other than that, not much else to say. The pre-festival promotional event will probably cause problems, and we're setting up the next villain. Dia Skill Rumor Spreading Asshole, go!

I feel sorry for Jade, he's a super nice guy and Alina keep rejecting him... ofc I know it has to be both way, but she should really give him a chance lol

Anyway, hopefully they will take care everything, so they can go to the festival.

I’ll just say it. I found that green haired attacker more interesting than MC and am now sad that he’s gone lol.

I do like this show, and I don’t hate MC’s personality. It’s just that the way the show sets up conflict over work is so contrived to me. I guess I just don’t understand the premise, because, in the US, the people who work overtime are like people in the private sector. Government workers at desk jobs are the ones stereotyped as clocking out when they can and not caring if work gets piled up, because they’re in unions and stuff lmao

I guess it’s the opposite in this universe, but even then, it’s the guildmaster’s fault for that place being understaffed. Didn’t he say he was going to hire more people? And actually, the show addressed another plot hole — MC gets more work exactly because she works too fast, and I guess they try to resolve it bc MC feels cheap slow walking her work. Like, you know, irl government workers.

I guess I just find the whole premise of this show kind of stupid. But I love Jade and his teammates. I feel like they could’ve just had their own show and it’d be better

@MenchiK1 She clicks a lot for me. She is the type who is good deep down but is not afraid to vent her frustrations asap, even if it hurts others. I am kinda similar and was even told by my boss to tone it down a bit. LOL

I have thoughts.

1) The guildmaster promised to triple the number of receptionists. Though Alina was removed from the team, she was assured that the promise would be kept anyway. And then on top of that, despite being removed, she ended up completing the assignment and defeating the dark god and dungeon regardless. So...where are the extra receiptionists? Did the show just forget so that the running gag of overtime could be continued?
2) Poor Jade. Even if Alina doesn't want to go steady with him she doesn't need to treat him like he has some sort of infectious disease or something. Could at least let him down nicely.
3) I agree with Lululee. As Lulu says, Alina is "convenient" for the guild because she lets herself be taken advantage of. Lulu points out that all the other receptionists work less and go home earlier. Alina is an enabler of the guild's overtime abuse that she then complains about. Because she is unwilling to hold firm and go home on time with work undone, the Guild has zero incentive to reform their processes or staffing. In fact Alina is so incredibly unwilling to stand up to the guild that she instead creates an entire Dia-powered alter-ego and defeats bosses instead of just standing up for herself to her bosses by refusing to work abusive levels of unpaid overtime. If anything, this behavior simply incentivizes the Guild to pile on more work.

the mc isn't very likable imo tbh most the cast and shows general cornerstone seems to have a frustrating/obnoxious direction. Sure she's crazy OP, but she's almost always just screaming freaking out and that gag's got old quick. This show gives off "I parry everything" levels of frustration focused "humor", and it just seems more annoying to me than enjoyable.

@MenchiK1 I find both Alina and Akane to be adorable young women and tsunderes... Personally, I am not a fan of tsunderes, but I recognize they may impress, such may be their strongest trait, and, when a tsundere impresses, it is at least pleasurable.

I thought for a moment that it was going to be revealed that the other receptionist was listening in on Alina and Jade but it seems that wasn't the case. Also Jade did a really bad job pulling the aggro of the monster they were facing during their training simulation, no wonder their trainee got injured.

Good episode, so we will have a date thing with Jade and Alina.
Jade is cute and funny.
As a guy who works client service stuff, Alina clicks a lot with my experience and the stuff that she experiment in her work are so funny for me xd
I hope Alina will afford to enjoy the festival just for once at least. She deserves that prize.
Can't wait for the date episode.

...and so, the loli mage nanodesu Lululee is finally happy. The character development and focus for her in this episode makes her more adorable! 🥰🥰🥰
I need more of her cute character...


Lululee, taking care of someone other than me... 😤

P.S. A hologram projector that can harm a spoiled brat. Amazing.
CrazyButNot4UFeb 8, 9:02 PM
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.

Alina is so mature ❤️❤️❤️
And Lululee is really cute.

They explained a bit of why Aline always do overtime alone, but still, there are at least 3 more confirmed recepcionist, and none of them helps her with it lol
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Lulu got a bit of ptsd but hope she can recover. How mentally strong is Laila lol, taking a figure to festival date. Meanwhile Alina just can't catch a break to chill and enjoy her free time. She'll have to work extra to earn that again. That thinking pose reminded me of Chisato lol. Anyway good for Jade, he got a festival date even if Alina's thinks of it like a punishment.

W for the cake shop experience. Although there are other things I'd treat myself on, the sentiment is understandable.

Now as the requests come flooding in.. yeeah. Waiting for the moment the guild actually stops understaffing the front desk.

Really does make adventurers look like fools to have them chasing rumors that ultimately take them to death traps.
