It is, because I hate Paul.
Wait, you guys like that asshole??
Peace.
Rudy's eye didn't stop working because he got close.
He just celebrated early, then lost his shit when the dragon was in his face. He wasn't actually kidding when he told Roxy that he gets scared (easily). He's quite calm at times, but when danger is rammed right up his ass he too loses his shit.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Really makes me wonder if Rudy has hit his power ceiling, because he doesn't appear meaningfully stronger now compared to when he first went to the snow town at the start of the season where he obliterated wyverns and monster bears in the dozens. I would have hoped that he grows strong enough to at least fend off and survive another hostile encounter with the dragon god.
What the heck, shinta. Yes, I love Paul. He's what I'd like to be. A strong, dependable man who gets to enjoy multiple hot girls and has a cute family. The perfect life.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Have we ever had an arc where Rudeus would have actually tried to get stronger for real? He seems to have developed his power during the time skips, but he has never been driven by pure ambition to become strong. He developed the anti-magic spell inspired by Orsted, but that's about it, it's hard to feel like he would have been trying to become a master of anything. As far as I can see, his dream is to live a comfortable life with his family. That's it. His one and only edge is the infinite mana pool, but he doesn't have what it takes to actually exploit it meaningfully: no extreme skills/spells, no correct attitude to thrive in life and death battles. Rudeus should still be dead meat if Orsted ever comes back for a rematch.
Yeah, and that's the problem. Why take a chance when you're a magic prodigy that has the potential to overcome this threat?

But Paul is a serial cheater. If you want to have a harem, get approval from current partner/s first.
Remember, if it weren't for Rudy's magical maturity, the maid and her fetus would be dead on the road somewhere due to Zenith's wrath.
Paul deserves to get bisected.
Peace.
Where's the fun in having a harem if you need to ask for approval?!

No. But you aren't punishing Paul there. You're punishing Norn.
"Hey! Wanna hear what a fuckup the guy you made me go and lose a hand for was? You're dad was such a loser! Say hi to your braindead mum!"
I hate Norn about as much as Paul, so working as designed.
@Mfauli - BTW, my very real wife also hates Paul and Norn. I'd beat her ass if she didn't.
Peace.
She's sounding realer every minute!

Zzzzzz.
This episode was trash.
All the interesting dialogues occurred off screen ("Yes, Elinalise told me."), seducing someone while they're grieving is toxic as hell, and objectively very little happened in this episode because all the interesting parts will come after they get back fully home.
It's piss-poor writing and storyboarding like this that makes me annoyed that this series is so highly thought of in Japan.
Remember when Ruijerd said to Eris "If he's feeling down, you should comfort him yourself"?
Roxy just went all the way with that.
It feels weird though.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
He's a Greyrat, what did you expect?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Nothing cures depression like gettin' some!
Unless the cause of your depression is ED...
Also, Hitogami told Rudeus he'd regret leaving.
Last week I thought that was Paul dying and seeing Zenith as she is.
What if something also happened at home while he was gone, something only Rudeus could have prevented? Hope Sylphiette isn't the victim.
Regarding polygamy, I think I remember Sylphiette telling Rudeus she did not mind him having several wives.
But maybe once she's confronted to that reality, she will change her mind.

So, how long until the 3rd season starts? Only 1 episode remaining and this one was very slooooow. As much as I like Rudy boning Roxy at long last, there really didn't happen much. Could have shortend the whole Roxy-romancing to the first half and make the second half about the arrival at home. sigh.
Fwiw I'm glad this anime dares go into detail about having more than one wife. There's no objective rule that says only having one wife makes sense, and the whole "you can only love one person" is also bs. I wonder if there's cases of one woman having multiple husbands, though, it'd be a bit weird that way round, not gonna lie. All women have lesbian tendencies, but no straight man would go near another man.
In regards to season 3, again, I hope it finally hyperfocuses on the bigger plot points. Not just as some side projects with a little bit of info here and there, but pressing forward at full speed. Mainly:
- finding a way back "home"
- who is Laplace and how to punish him
- growing strong enough to protect his family from the Dragon god in case something ever happened
- what is the Hitogami's goal, is it something good, and if not, cann he be fought against?
And meeting Eris again would be nice, too.
Die she "go all the way", though? Later at the first camp fire, Rudy thought to himself that he promised Sylphie to stay faithful, so he cannot proceed. Which to me implied that they hadn't had sex at this point? Although the bed scene certainly evoked the impression of them having sex. I dunno.

Do you have stats backing that lesbian statement?
Polygamy or polyandry is relatd to society rules and the way it works. That medieval like society with lots of physical violence and monsters sure put emphasis on strength that favors patriarchy.
Regarding faithfulness, it feels like it was related to his feelings and having sex isn't unfaithful, as strange as it sounds... Maybe like a presidential blowjob not considered as a sexual intercourse ?

It should make things easier that the second wife would be Roxy. Sylphie ought to know how much Roxy meant to Rudeus from early age, consequently also affecting Sylphie herself a whole lot. It's entirely possible they might not have ever interacted in the village without Roxy having appeared as Rudeus's teacher. If they hadn't, Sylphie would have learned neither (silent) magic nor proper manners, resulting in her not becoming Ariel's bodyguard, if indeed she had even survived the teleportation incident. Through a proxy it may be, yet Roxy still had a gigantic effect on Sylphie's own life. It wouldn't really be healthy if Sylphie accepted Roxy out of a sense of gratitude, but just remembering Roxy isn't a perfect stranger must mean something. Positive feelings are positive feelings, nonetheless. Sylphie and Roxy also have a lot in common, both having spent a lot of time in Paul's household.
I didn't really mind this episode. Roxy doing what she did worked. It was partially out of her own lust and love, but the end result speaks for itself: It did knock Rudeus out of his misery. The ep was slow, but ever since the first two cours, this has been a slow series. Nobody's shocked by that anymore.
