It was so joyous Cassandra only managed to get "despair" out of her mouth a single time. Maybe in the next episode it will be zero times. Perhaps if the Ryu rescue squad joins them, despair would be gone for a little while. At least until they bump into the abomination.

Starting weapon smithing in the middle of the dungeon with some stove that looks barely enough to bake potatoes is something I didn't expect. But then again, it is a fantasy world. It making magic weapons is so easy, it makes sense to do it.
