But he would be cheating on the elf.

Peace.
In addition to Shinta's point, I reckon Cliff would also accept Elinalise sleeping once with nameless guys of no consequence better than with Rudeus. Otherwise he would always be reminded of it when he meets Rudeus. I'm not sure that's the kind of favour one would expect or want from a friend.
I'm about to be 38. I should be boring by now.
Peace.
I mean, the line I drew was NOT choosing to fuck your granddaughter's husband. I'd be that boring any day.
Peace.
Yes, it is.
Peace.

Teleportation Labyrinth's guidebook and Rudy's hunch seemed awfully coincidental. At least they should explain Rudy's hunch next episode I'd imagine, or else it'd feel like lazy writing.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I have to confess Rudeus and Roxy finally meeting made me smile. It was such a fairy tale reunion as well, with Rudeus saving her.
I don't really consider the teleportation book to even be a coicidence. Apparently that's a famous teleportation dungeon of the highest difficulty, so it makes sense it would have been studied by someone credible. Teleportation itself is the core element of the bigger story of this whole series. The actual story began with the mass teleportation incident. One might even say the whole series began with it, since Nanahoshi's case suggests teleportation and summoning are tightly linked in that universe. Rudeus was born when a soul from Earth was teleported/summoned and used to create a human that shouldn't have been there, according to Orsted. Furthermore, Rudeus made his business to study teleportation in the academy city and helped Nanahoshi with it. So, of course he would have a book.
I took the scene of Rudeus's hunch to have been born from hearing the drop of water. Roxy is a water mage, so perhaps that just made Rudeus imagine he might be able to track her down by looking for signs of water magic.
Paul is as pitiful as ever, though fortunately he didn't begin to drink again and seems able to listen to advice from others. But starting to badmouth Elinalise/her husband immediately after hearing she got married, that's a bit much.
The lazy writing I have an issue with is "Roxy has been missing for a month," yet she's actively fighting in the Labyrinth.
Given her circumstances when she's being saved, she should have already long starved to death or died from sleep deprivation. Dehydration not an issue for a water mage. Unless Roxy is regularly farming monsters for food and just happened to accidentally overstep and draw an entire nest to her secret hiding room, she should have been dead.
If they had said a couple of days or a week at most, it might have been more believable.
There's obviously something deeper (read: magical bullshit) going on with Zenith since she's been in the dungeon for six years with occasional sightings, so I can give that one a pass.
Dito.
Not an enjoyable episodes. Feels like the last 2 episodes were transitional episodes, give me actually meaty episodes where meaningful stuff happens.
I also don't understand why Roxy was there. Gill said the 3rd stratum comes next, which is where Roxy got lost, and trap teleporter only send you within the same stratum, so she should have been on the 3rd stratum. But Rudy was on the 2nd stratum at that point. Wat
PS: Also Rudy must bang Roxy. Shit anime otherwise.
Agreed, but irrelevant. She's been down there for a month. She has to have fought to some degree or she would have run out of food in days, but looking how lightly outfitted the party is inside the labyrinth (there's presumably food and water on the pack animals outside the entrance), it is unlikely Roxy had more than a single meal's worth of provisions.
It would be a different thing if she was in stasis, or the plot utilized the time dilation we saw when Elinalise went back through the gate they took from the north and it took longer than she believed.
That works for a scenario where Roxy has been fighting for at most hours and didn't know she was gone for a month, but if they go that route, they need to explain how Rudy got there without taking the same route to the dead end room she's in.

Paul and his harem lesson lol.
I guess not recognising Rudy and seeing him as the prince who rescues her at a time of need really set off Roxy's love fantasy. It wouldn't have worked any other way.

IT'S OKAY TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE GIRL!X1
Paul continues to be the true hero of this anime.
