And do people even realise that Rudeus was indeed slightly drunk there? And I'm not mentioning that as an excuse. I'm mentioning it because they gave a freaking 10yo kid wine to drink and not just a sip, but multiple cups.
Do people actually realise these small things? No one's even mentioned it. The usual anime-cliche is that the young kid gets grape-juice, no matter at what timeline or in what fantasy realm the kid is currently at.
Eris' father tried to make Rudeus drunk! Fully knowing that Rudeus is about to meet Eris in his bedroom, obviously because he himself set it up that way.
As pointed out in the video:
- Eris' father asks Rudy if he'd like to have Eris sent to his room on his 10th birthday (noting that both of Eris' parents like him at this point and wouldn't mind him marrying into their side of the family)
- Rudy refuses.
- Eris was sent there anyway, dressed and with the expectation that they would engage in something, maybe 2nd base at most in her head.
- She consents.
- Then takes it back.
- Rudy gets punished for ignoring her taking it back.
- He reflects on that, vows not to make that mistake again internally.
- Eris partially forgives him minutes later (does she like him, did she realize it was still expected in terms of 'family duty' and came back voluntarily, was she sent back? We do not know.)
