At least it's not Rudeus who got the slave. The slave is still there, yes, but not for the MC. Not that I wouldn't have preferred the slave not to exist at all. It's one of the most annoying tropes plaguing isekai series.
what. Slaves existed in medieval times and isekai often take place in fantasy medieval settings, so that's why there's slaves. It's no more a trope than swords being a weapon of choice.Originally Posted by Kraco

The issue isn't that slavery exists in the setting.
It's the plot device of, "I'll buy a slave, raise them in a very modern Earth method like I would my child, give them a great life, and help develop unique skills for them to use. I've raised this diamond in the rough that would have died in misery if not for me buying them."
Romance and\or Sex with them optional.
Now that's criticism I agree with. I'm currently playing Assassins Creed Valhalla and you'd think vikings were feminists, women as equals everyhwere and gay romancing. It's something I've come to hate in pretty much all modern video games: They're super woke, applying modern values to historic time periods ... at least for the "good guys", lol. It's why I have no interest in Baldur's Gate 3 right now, so much choice the game promises, but I'm sure I cannot be a transphobic, racist asshole that has 3 wives who don't know about each other (to use an extreme example of what I'd like to see in games).
Makes me remember the fake-controversary about Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Final Fantasy 16, for lacking black people. Yeah, duh, it's supposed to a pseudo-version of the middle age.
Ah, you made me rant, gotta stop :>

Sidebar rant going to The Other Thread!
I'm just enjoying Rudy's dick being confused and he can't figure out why.
The slave thing was a weird turn of events. "I can't learn to create figures so I'll get a slave to do it for me" wasn't what I was expecting. But I suppose if Zanoba just wants figures (without wanting to make them), and Rudy isn't interested in selling figures then that's his only bet.
Given that strength was an issue for Zanoba (only later did they mention clumsiness), the immediate solution I thought of was to have him sculpt large, durable materials like giant statues instead of soft clay.
Addit: Fitz was actually staring at the male slave's crotch the entire time she commented on how big they got. Rudy missed that detail too.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That was actually what I thought, too! I imagined how Zanoba would start creating giant sculptures, like larger than life-sized, of pervy posed women he "admires", lol.

IRL, PTSD and depression need lots of time to partially heal. Partially because it can come back with a vengeance anytime.
So yes, we're in a pretty boring and long process.
I too felt the ep was full of nothing or interrest, but that's how that story goes.
Maybe the only thing that was fun was the figurine making.
It shoes Rudeus isn't as sharp as he once was. And my take on this is not his magical skills, nor his mana fine controls. He's in both categories close to monster/god levels.
So my take is that his depression also explains his figuring making skills as it does his ED.
When he made Roxy's, he had the full sex drive of a teenager body and libido intricacies of a 40+ virgin.
Which fueled his imagination and planing, but also his willingness to try as much as it takes to create the multiple layer Roxy figurine.
Even Rudy states he was like Zano, very different from what he is now.
So I guess being able to make another figurine equaling or even bettering Roxy's level will be a clear sign he's healed enough to function properly in all matters of life.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
"I really need to make a sexy Fitz fig..."
I don't think slaves were treated well enough to be hot.

Episode 7
- - -- - -
One excellent detail about this incident is how horrifying things must have turned for the beast girls when Rudeus started to talk about his "religion" and revealed that the holy relic is a pair of panties. That's basically the point where the captured girls would realise they aren't merely dealing with someone angry about a broken figurine and thus could expect to get away with it with some minor punishment. In the end it's not like one student would normally do that much to another student, even if they were angry. Instead they found out they are dealing with someone quite possibly afflicted by insanity. So, all bets are off considering the retribution. I reckon they didn't yet expect to be killed, but it could have still been anything. I suppose Fitz appearing there assuaged them somewhat due to "his" immaculate reputation.
Oh Rudeus...you never change...
Rofl, it went from "ok, these girls do deserve some punishment" to "kidnapped them and had them pee themselves, right after sexually abusing them" quickly. And they're both hilariously submissive with the "boss" adressing lol.
Sylphie keeping her identiy a secret is still fuck annoying and I hate that it's probably continuing until episode 12 at least, sigh.
The dwarf slave is adorable, but I'm not yet convinced that Zanoba won't do terrible shit if he ever gets angry.

"Maybe Paul and Eris were stronger than I thought"
Yep. Yep they were. I see mud-debuff works like a treat whenever it happens.
Sylphie not taking her glasses off is at the very least inconsistent with how she goes running without her glasses. That's actually what pissed me off.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Maybe the point is to not be recognized as Fitz while out running.
Isn't the whole point of the sunglasses to cover a good portion of her face, to increase the chance of people believing she's a male bodyguard? Nothing more than that. As long as her cover isn't blown, it doesn't really matter what she does. Having a run so early that only a few people, most of all very few students, are awake, probably has proven to be safe without the sunglasses. Showing the elf ears would still be a huge risk, so she covers them with the massive hat. Since those ears would absolutely be one of the most distinctive features of hers, when they can't be seen, few would actually connect the dots, especially if she's not walking next to the princess.
I did think it was a cute scene when she was like "It's what I think Rudeus would do." and then you see him jogging by in the background.
S2 Eps 08
----
This whole season is going nowhere, huh?
The entire episode was basically two gags. They were decent ones, but I can now fully comprehend why this part of the series is not that well received.
Season 2 - Episode 8:
It wasn't a boring episode, but I really wonder if we have the time to waste away entire episodes on school life like this.
Also, that being Rudeus' most powerful attack was kinda underwhelming. He has spells that can terraform entire landscapes, and this little drill is it? I expected more. "But it was a really concentrated attack!!1", sure, still, I expected something stronger, something that's guaranteed to hit the enemy, too.
Kinda like that it's established that the two cat girls are Rudeus' pack now, lol. Cannot wait for the h-doujins <3
