Akuri joins the cast but we don’t know what she is. She was able to get out of the room Kurt built to contain her though so we know she was not ordinary.
The end of the episode took an unexpected turn. Is Kurt going to fight a Demon King next?
Ageha saying he had the feeling he might not live long is sad. We still don’t know what his vision meant, it could still be a misunderstanding and he would not be cut down by his brother.
Glad to be of service 😄

Murmurings of Gaoshun
Tidbits from Gaoshun
There are various customs for those who serve those in power. Those who have spent the night with the emperor even once are not allowed to leave the rear palace. Exceptions include giving women to subjects for political reasons or in lieu of a reward. But most of these are limited to the daughters of powerful men.
What is going on here at all? Not only Maomao, but also suspicious servants, eunuchs, and Shishou have gone missing, and even Loulan may be involved.
Let’s wait for Lahan’s report.
How did he sneak into the inner palace, concealing his identity?
We are still investigating.
If the missing eunuch was able to wade through the palpation, his true identity is probably a woman. It is infuriating that he pretended to be a eunuch!
It is regrettable.
It is outrageous that Loulan would have a maid take her place, without regard for her own position!
It’s deplorable.
It is absolutely outrageous!
Next time, “The Festival”. Xiaomao, please be safe.

権力者に仕える者には様々な因習がある。 一度でも帝と夜を共にした者は、後宮から出ることは許されない。 例外として、政治的理由で女性を臣下に渡すことや 褒章の代わりとして与えることも。 だがその多くは、権力者の娘に限られる。
全くどうなっているんだ？ 猫猫だけでなく不審な下女や宦官、子昌まで行方知れず、おまけに楼蘭まで関与しているかもしれぬとは。
ひとまず羅半の報告を待ちましょう。
どうやって身元を隠して後宮に忍び込んだんだ？
調査中です。
消えた宦官が触診を搔い潜っていたとすると、正体はおそらく女。宦官のふりをするとは腹立たしい！
遺憾です。
楼蘭も自分の立場を弁えずに侍女に身代わりをさせるとは言語道断！
遺憾です。
全く持ってけしからん！
次回、『祭り』。 小猫、どうかご無事で。
Schrödinger’s necklace.
I went back and checked and only saw one during Mewi’s recollection last episode.
Last we knew, Twilight gave Mewi’s sister’s necklace to Mewi, which Beryl picked up when she dropped it, and gave it back to Mewi.
I don’t think there was another one and it was a mistake in the anime that it teleported back to the sister’s body.
Beryl’s dad: “This is not what I meant when I said find me a granddaughter”
Also Beryl’s dad: “But good job Beryl”
So the stupid second prince is going to break the seal and be possessed by a demon lord or something. Don’t worry about saving him and just blow them both to bits if that happens please.
Propping up the crown prince is all good and well, but if he was competent he wouldn’t have ended up being confined in the first place…… Well perhaps just having someone not actively doing harm to the country displace Julius is enough to serve Mia’s purpose.
The VA did a good job when Jinshi did the obvious switching to his eunuch voice in this episode.
This made me notice Jinshi didn’t use his eunuch voice when he was talking to Lahan though. I wonder if that was his “business” voice when he worked in the outer palace (still as Jinshi) and not talking to court ladies.
I thought the goddess could read minds. She must have been amused by Ageha trying so hard to put the correct spin on the advantage of education and the importance of the printing press.
Even though Azusa lived 300 years, she still longed for a mother’s love. And she ate the shrinking mushroom again and got a sister in Sandra this episode.
Bad Marlefiss. Venting frustration at being excommunicated from the church by scrawling outside Lise’s room and ruins, causing so much trouble to people. Kurt cleaned up her graffiti and would surely visit her in jail and bring her her favorite bread.
They had to remove Maomao from the rear palace, she knew too much. What I don’t get is whether they planned to leave the palace all along or Maomao forced their hand. (It was said in the episode they didn’t expect to return to the hidden village)
A lot happened, but was all blown away by Gaoshun’s “meow”.
Wait, I thought Philia was sold (it’s even in the title). What did they mean now they want her back?! Can the country be more stupid than it already was?
For all we know, everyone could have been Beryl’s pupil at this point, including the griffon (he just didn’t remember).
We found out who was behind Lise’s assassination, and now Kurt’s former party member and former sister Marlefiss became involved.
We all know you can’t put an anti-curse barrier inside a curse-reflecting barrier! It is so obvious!
It’s clever something Kurt did in previous episodes came back as plot points: the walls he fixed could destroy skeletons and the crystals he made (stored away because they were too powerful to be sold on the open market) became secret weapons against the undead.
Golnova was not only an abuser, he scrawls on ruins! What an ass!
Lise learnt that she was precious to Kurt:
Yulishia’s got a Kurt-sensor for when he’s going to do… stuff, like going in a ninth direction.
Regulus ate almost the whole Holy Peach! I wonder if there’s any consequence to that.
It is true that the duke’s maid was very uninformed and rude for one in her position.
How come the five years old Ageha was the adult in the room, and not his parents.
Quack Doctor got his name revealed after 40 episodes. How did Maomao call him all along?
What do they say about curiousity and cats? Or how Maomao decided to investigate her suspicions by rushing to the clinic alone, and also not leaving when she could because she wanted to check out the bookshelf? (Though Suirei was already present by that time but Maomao didn’t know that.)
Shisui was also there all that time Suirei was speaking, only to be pulled out like a piegon in a hat?
Congrats to Suirei’s VA, Nazuka Kaori for giving birth to her third child. She just had her birthday 2 days ago too.
Is the other official who came with Shishou also color blind, or is Shishou going to have a “Oh shit” moment later when he is asked about the wine color.
Okay so the crown prince was at least somewhat intelligent, just too afraid to act.
@rikka@ani.social :
Mia managed to get him out of his self-imposed confinement which is encouraging.
Philia was treated so badly previously that she only found out she had emotions just now.
Frankly, the difference in behavior between the two countries’ people feels a bit too contrived, but the story is interesting enough so I’ll continue to watch.
