Alice got daughter-zoned.

That's even worse than friendzoned. I feel bad for her.

Rejection sucks T^T lol

I got a worse one, acquaintance-zoned like poor Fubuki in OPM

I have more worse than that turned her into enemy-zoned by her entire people like Princess Euphemia killed by Zero using his Geasse which can make her oath for absolute obedience to become the enemy of her own people.

Other than the reasons she stated in the episode, I had the impression she liked him so I can see why she would be extra frustrated. Unless I'm misremembering.

Yeah, she definitely gave off that impression.

He gives off the impression that he gets it, at least to some extent, but he's basically telling her she's too young, shouldn't hurry and concentrate on her studies and THAT'S when she'll be in a position for choices.

Which is probably the best advice you can give to a teenager regardless of personal feelings

Friend-zoned = very small chance you might overcome that
Daughter-zoned = forgetaboutit

Well. Ehah. We are talking about japan here.

Usagi drop has entered the chat

If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord also entered the chat lol.

Good thing, otherwise people would just say he's been grooming her.

Now Alice needs to take those steps herself, if she wants a different type of relationship with Renfred.

in his case, i wouldn't think he was grooming her even if they ended up together, guy just looked after her and made sure she was okay growing up, it's totally on her if she developed feelings for him because he was a good dude. there wasn't any other intentions behind his actions but to just give her a safe enironment to grow up in

Yeah society doesn't think like that. Moment the dude picked her up and raised her no way people would not assume he groomed her if they became a pair.

true

Yeah, it's normal for children to sometimes develop feelings for adults in thier lives, it's only grooming if the adult deliberately taught or manipulated the child into feeling that way. This just looks like an adult doing thier best to raise a kid.

Anyway, stuff about age and names on relationships are just conventions. Just respect the other person's will and circumstances.

Major Gilbert vibes.

Precisely, but many people decide to ignore that not-so-subtle difference to opt for 'grooming'.

At least in webtoon comment sections that nearly always ends up being a point of contention.

it'd still be weird if they ended up together though.. like an usagi drop kinda situation

yeah it would feel a bit weird especially when he said he sees her like a daughter even if she doesn't. if he hadn't said that and was more of a caretaker and not in any way grooming her, then i likely wouldn't care

yup, I know how you feel

Tbh raising wife is the best way to get one

You've got a wife-raising farm?

Thats actually good business idea in this age.
Apparently lot of people travel all the way to philipines to get wife.

They readily drop everything for a more comfortable life elsewhere?

Yeah especially when they can get nice swedish husband from first world country and the man gets trad wife. Its a win win if you dont mind miscegenation

Asshole.

Local individual admits to being unable to nuture a mutual relationship and thus only having barely enough confidence to enter one where power dynamics are so off, they'll maybe (and only maybe) feel comfortable. Chances of them doing a good job of not abusing said messed up power dynamics? Statistically speaking: Very low, considering how frequently boys never emotionally mature into men cause their peers keep failing them for countless generations already.

Goodness me. Stop objectifying women and be accountable for your own wellbeing. Attend to your pschological needs and get growth support please. At this rate you'll be setting yourself up for misery. Whatever for.

All it takes to be with another person, is mutual respect and mutual commitment to work on all issues that discomfort each other, if necessary, by accessing external resources. It's not actually that hard. Yet here we are, speaking about power dynamics that almost beg for abuse like that's some kind of joke and not a massive serious real life problem that literally kills people! Too frequently: women.

Please do not "jest" about that stuff. People's abuse is not yours to casually make your "fun". At lest be qualified enough as a decent human being to know what not to "joke" about. Stop promoting abuse and modern forms of slavery.

If you wanna insist on it you can joke about selling yourself to some powerful woman out there in the hopes she doesn't abuse you. That is something you can "joke" about, since you'll talk about your own potential abuse. But honestly, even that would be terrible. So let's not bring this topic up at all in any other context that "how to stop abuse".

Wtf are you on about

atleast she had some sister talk with chise and their familiars

Sister talk usually ends up with my twin and i just kissing alot =~=

Can you not go an sexualise everything? Get your head out of the gutter, will you?!

Who said some kisses are sexual. Grow up! Humph

You keep your FILTHY mind where it's at cuz we can see EVERYTHING from down here🏕👍

And she still got a long way before getting out of it.

At least, she still got a chance.

Cope with a magnus sleepover

chise's magnus dong

But part of her didnt mind it lol

i didn't think it possible... but here we are T^T

This is what the priestess should have done. The daughter zone. But no, he went to jail, got ptsd and can no longer be around younger children.

Mhh not sure If it would work that girl really wanted that priest down badly (He also looked pretty charming/good)

Are you, like, watching all the anime or just stalking me? XD
Despite what seems to be the majority opinion, I liked that show. Can't see it getting a second season but the parts that were good were real good, to me.

this ep was so skippable, yawn.

What generally makes you give a anime episode a fu** this episode its skippable rating?

To slow? not enough action/romance/fighting/etc
Kinda curios but if you dont wanna answer just ignore this message

Thanks for asking,

For me, mostly re-used storytelling - after seeing the same progress for 100 times... i think come on there should be something more ??? you don't just copy "confirm love adolescence with pupil love story " and don't add anything of your own to it.

And also the end of the Ep. nothing was resolved.

We whitnessed a lot of psychological progress. One thing that I appreciate the most about this anime is it's peak non-verbal and quiet story telling. There was so much happening there, so much learning. It's a bit said to see that called "boring" but then again, thankfully, people have different values, priorities and likes. So this time around tey indulged me! ;)

yes, i agree non verbal story telling is good here, this is not a common trait and is done in like 1 out of 100 animes (best in that area i know is Blame!). I'm cursed with photographic memory, after seeing the event once i won't be surprised with it again. Best chance is misleading me, by selling me it in another wrapper. Like the show attempted here. Unfortunately i unwrapped it too easily, and now I'm again hungry :D
