Spoiler:

Chi is so cute, forever a favorite. I always do love watching Emilia follow Maou everywhere though, then freak out when people wonder if they're close/dating. She has to realize how creepy her behavior is.... right? But guh, that dense devil lol. Poor Chi.

Earthquake at the end of the episode caught me off guard since the atmosphere was so casual/slice of life up until this point in the episode but whoa. Nice to see Maou transform again!

Spoiler:

I forgot how early into the series this call happens. Bit of intensity a bit early, here.

Ashiya, your shopping skills are trash.

SHOP-TAGE TIME.

this man is density incarnate. Poor Chi.

lol Ashiya's panicking.

Ashiya and Emilia are both being creepy now.

And there's our stereotypical boob insecurity trait.

Such voices. Much ominous.

Ominous thought conclusion.

lol such a childish rivalry

here comes the interrupted confession

lol Chi and Emi

... and here... we... go. Earthquake! I forgot this is when this one happens.

Yeah, Chi, you are. You could see it from miles away.

Yes, Emi, why?

Spoiler:

I'm tellin' ya, the girl has issues.
He, however, is dense as a rock. Actually, density incarnate like I said in my own reaction above.

I totally forgot about the earthquake until we got there, tbh.

I mean, you could.

But aren't we like 2 or 3 episodes from finding out what's actually going on with her?

And isn't it also not exactly her fault?

I can't believe this card was played so early, isn't it like episode 8 at least before this happens. I extremely dislike Chi, just something about her annoys me. That earthquake though! That was surprising
