Look for Maoyuu cameos in the background, much like the MWAM cameo few episodes back.

Hohoho saw Demon Queen with her horns headband, Hero and Female Knight

Darn, Minori has gone ahead and made Shiroe her senpai. :P

Akatsuki as usual looks great.

And it seems there's an underlying sense of economic "attacks" going on by flooding the festival coordinators with work. I wonder who these unseen actors are.

[Avaricia]

Akatsuki's hair shrinked on the last 10 minutes

[Sheba]

Trying to crash the festival? Sound like something the Goons would do.

[RedKey]

So Minori's subclass 見習い徒弟 lets her copy other people's skills and items by just watching them? That sounds fairly broken...

Spoiler for Another show:

reminds me of The End in Medaka Box

[watisit]

Sigh, they didn't include the part where Nyanta reminded the twat he's an adventurer.

[Benigmatica]

That's strange... I wonder if that storyteller from Ep. 21 is the one stirring up trouble in Akihabara? I've seen two instances of her, one where Akatsuki buys an accessory, and the other one after Nyanta took out a grumpy customer.

Spoiler for Pics:

On the other hand, seems that pirates will attack Akihabara! Don't know if they're adventurers, or maybe rouge landers.

Not at all, like Shiroe said, it's limited to entry level skills and level-appropriate.
For example, apprentice taking a chef as a master might be able to make a sandwich and toss a salad, but perhaps not a slow-cooked beef bourguignon.

[Eclipze]

Spoiler for Preview:

The pirate/invasion leader looked like some character that came straight out of One Piece.

huh?

[DQueenie13]

The Black Sword Knight boys weren't going crazy for Misa. What is this.

[FlareKnight]

Minori definitely being helpful. I do think the apprentice class is a bit extreme, but it is limited by actually requiring people to accept you as an apprentice so do need connections for it to be of any use. But yeah, Minori was key in giving Shiroe enough information to work with.

Feels like we might run into another case of lacking confidence for Akatsuki since she couldn't help see this coming while Minori helped key in on what was going on.

Well time to see what the cursed sword Shiroe can do about this upcoming attack .

Nice episode, and now hist is just about to hit the fan.
Loved Akatsukis antics, the poor guardian coming in, going out, coming in, going out was a nice visual gag, though probably not very lore friendly when considering the novels.

Some wording felt weird at times, and the visuals of Minori doing the paperwork with sheets of paper floating around her felt way overblown, but i guess just watching someone go over papers might feel boring for some.

One thing i really disliked, was the design of Lord Mavis, Marvis, Marven, or whatever he was named (opinions vary), he just feels so out of place (and ridiculous).

edit-
Hist = sentient magical trees found in the Black Marsh of Tamriel (from The Elder Scrolls games), they are inanimate (like trees tend to be), so they have to use Argonians (sentient bipedal lizards) to run their errands.

[Sheba]

Lord Marv felt like someone out of One Piece tbh.

Funny, the first thing he reminded me was the Sahagins. Then I realised where I've seen that face before...

Ryuk!

where??? i don't see it

[ookamigirl]

Festival time!
It was nice to see them relax.
Does every girl have a thing for Shiroe?
Well, everyone except the princess ^^
Looks like people of the land have opened up too.
Still, the freedom and no classes among the adventurers are confusing them.
Something definitely felt off...
People of the land were acting hostile and unreasonable.
Like someone was controlling them.
So, Shiroe's work is never done..

Only 3 as of yet.
Minori, Akatsuki and Henrietta.
