So the closest thing this show has to a villain thus far is motivated solely by how moe Bell is. It is kind of hilarious how a literal goddess with a terrible outfit can't motivate anyone to do anything, but like half the population of that city swoons over an albino bishounen.

I like this episode, it went places and wasn't just more grinding.

e: Did Freya meet Bell in the first episode or will we find out about that later?

The goddess can take care of herself, but Bell needs me. :ohdear:

They can't just give him the new knife. That would remove the drama of willing to sacrifice yourself. They have to drag it out until he has all but lost the fight.

1000 yen, or 8.32 USD.

On the bright side it has to cost much less than 8 cents, let alone thirty cents, to make.

Yeah there is literally no excuse for Hestia not just handing the knife over but drama. Bell and Hestia are pretty :downs: about a lot of things.

(spoilers for the next arc) Huh, my knife went missing. Oh, there it is, in the hands of my new party member! She must have found it for me! :downs:

It certainly feels annoying in the anime.

In the books the scene is told from Bell's viewpoint, and it's harder to keep track of Hestia's proximity mid-battle, so it never bothered me there. I think.

I understood her holding off initially. She wanted to surprise him. Wanted it to be special.

Even when the ape-thing appeared, I was relatively okay with things since, hey, in that situation I'd probably panic and forget about it too.

But you know, the longer they're running, and he's comforting her in a back alley, and he's locking her away and speechifying about how if nothing else he'll ensure her survival even at the cost of his own life, that might have been the time to remember the god-forged knife she specifically spent the last several days prostrating herself to obtain on his behalf.

I thought that when his knife broke would have been a great time. Unfortunately, Hestia's ribbon is cutting off the flow of blood to her brain.

It has been enough of a meme to spawn funny fanart, and that's good enough for me.

Keyhole sweater had a higher ratio of funny to pervy.

If anyone's wondering what happened to the tempo in ep 3, it's a result of how they've chosen to partition up vol 1: ep 1 and 2 got ~140 pages each, while ep 3 adapted the final 45 pages. Oh well.
