(Three episode watched): I had heard several weeks ago that another season of MT had been released, but could only find something with Portuguese subtitles which made me conclude that it hadn't. But it turns out that it had. Rudy asks for advice about getting married and learns that no self-respecting man in this country will do so if he can't provide a decent house for his new wife. He learns of a large but run-down place that can be gotten cheaply because there is supposedly a curse on it. Along with a couple of magician friends he investigates and they discover the strange explanation behind the story, which may in fact be a golden opportunity. I was looking forward to more of the same and was not disappointed. In their new home Rudy and Sylphie hold a party in episode two which has some surprising results, like the discovery that Sylphie is related to another ongoing character and Rudy being challenged to a duel. Another surprise comes in episode three when we learn that Nanahoshi (I think), the black-haired girl who Rudy has been cooperating with in magical research, had actually been attempting to find a way to magically transport herself back to Japan. She is deeply demoralized when her attempt fails, but Rudy and friends demonstrate that her plan might still have a chance at success. Rudy gets a letter from Paul, his father, revealing that Norn and Aisha, his sister and half-sister, are being sent to him for safekeeping. Most isekai series are thoroughly predictable and we get few genuine surprises (even though we are dealing with people being transferred to another world), but here you never know what's going to happen next yet events make perfect sense when they do. As I had guessed, Rudy's old friend Ruijerd is the man escorting the girls. In episode four he pays a brief visit then is gone. Norn is not on good terms with Rudy and he doesn't know how to handle her. On the other hand, you could almost say that Aisha is on too good of terms with him and only wants to serve as his maid even though she clearly has great potential as a magician. An ill-advised prank by the fox girls that serve Rudy almost lands him in hot water. Last updated Monday, May 20 2024. Created Tuesday, April 30 2024. | ||||||||
