Dang it, they found the airship! Luckily Tisse is on their trail, though Kiggith is actually looking forward to confronting her again
.
Ruti is really enjoying her new Slow Life! She's got her morning routine (complete with hanging on the roof with just her toes) complete with exposed bloomers, cleaning the house, bathing herself, and even getting her Rune Factory game on by making growing herbs her main hustle, with some assist from her brother
!
Tisse for her part just wants to sleep in for the morning...but Ruti's not about to let her get away with that. And Ruti has the most sadistic smug smile that you just can't say no to
!
Is this one of the few episodes where Rit didn't get any lines
?
Ruti is just your average, ordinary, adventurer who stops a runaway Drake know one has ever able to tame, uncovers man-eating earthworms in a farm and slices them in half with a chop, or interrupts/hijacks a play to save an actor possessed by a cursed sword (with some assist from an efficient Princess Peach actress) and even gets the play remade to include her in it! Totally what you would expect from a normal adventurer
!
But this wasn't supposed to be about Ruti, it was supposed to be about Tisse and helping her relax and unwind so she could open up to Ruti, because Ruti cares about her so much and wants Tisse to enjoy herself! And it's with that faith in mind that Tisse knows what she has to do
.
I almost feel bad for those investigators, they were just doing their job and being efficient about it is what got them killed by Kiggith because he didn't want Tisse exposed before he killed her. Yikes
.
Kiggith is Tisse fellow assassin and trained with and mentored her in their youth, but he's become so consumed by his Blessing that he has no pride as a professional assassin and is nothing more than a murderer who needs to be put down. Which Tisse does efficiently with some assist from Ruti. Though Tisse doesn't feel so good about it
.
The Assassin's Guild actually sounds pretty nice the way Tisse describes it. Even assasssins need a home and a place to belong, especially when they can't stop being assassins, like Tisse. But Ruti accepts Tisse for who she is, and if nothing else, she can just be a Slow Life Assassin
!
Of course the damage has been done as Kiggith did get a message to Ljubo who is playing to take Van to Zoltan to find the airship...and Van has lost so much of his humanity to his Blessing that he's writing off all his parties death as to the benefit of him as a hero, after already becoming an inhuman level of fighter, and is willing to march over as many bodies as he has to. This can't end well
