*FacePlam* Atleast there was some action this time and we already knew who the thief was.

So we're halfway and I still don't get this show. Plot is a little bit too much all over the place. And setting is so nauseatingly sweet. At least girls are cute. Yay for foxy maid.

I thought it was Xiao-Mei right when they said the name of the thief. The name just gave it away.

Same here xD

Combined with how Xiao Mei didn't seem all that worried, it was pretty obvious it was her

Loved the episode, you can never have enough Xiao Mei ;)

Black Tail did kinda give away the name. So did the outfit, throwing cards, haircut and glimpses of the face behind the mask.

I wonder what exactly is Xiao Mei looking for in the Castle?

Then again the group was rewarded I guess it is back to LeCoeur for them.

Rick's mystery seems to have some light, could it be that he is of royal blood?

Since the prince doesn't recalled giving donation to repair the church, it looks like Black Tail (Xiao Mei) is playing Robin Hood and use the stolen goods for donation..

It looks like the prince and princess are hiding Rick's sword after he washed ashore, so most likely the girls aren't the first ones who found him.

Well Xiao mei motive for stealing is pretty obvious but I wonder she also has another reason

Once they dropped the name "Blacktail" it was pretty obvious it would be Xiao-Mei. Especially considering her suspicious behaviour too. Rick's keeping his mouth shut so Xiao-Mei must have a good reason for breaking into the palace. It has something to do with that apprehened crate most likely

It seems they're still keeping Rick's original sword at the palace. I wonder what's so special about it.

Rick has no real reason to do anything for the nobility - so far all he really knows is that the government took what he, Hank and Xiao-Mei recovered from the ocean and despite pretty words from those people they met in the palace they've not been compensated. So why go out of his way for them regarding turning in somebody he (presumably) regards as a friend?

Also, previous events have indicated Xiao-Mei has been raiding the palace long before the incident with the box recovered from the ocean occurred. Besides her own words hinting at how long she's been doing it, for example I'm fairly sure Rick mentioned he has pinned the source of the funds for repairing the church on her, for instance, though I'd have to go back and rewatch the previous episode to be sure.

Moment they mentioned the thief's name being Blacktail, yeah it was pretty obvious that it was Xiao-Mei. The idea with Xiao-Mei stealing and giving the money to the church is pretty good, everything does make sense if that's what has been happening. Wonder what Rick is going to do about this now that he knows, I doubt he'll turn her in tho ofc.

Neris was great this ep, lol at her eagerness for that reward. And haha at her lighting speed reaction, "No peeking". Rona, wow another great girl in this cast, clumsy girl ftw. Falling unconscious once per day ooo.

The name maybe? I mean considering Xiao Mei has a black tail and all. It was quite obvious. I knew it was her the moment i heard the name. I didn't need to see any ribbons.

I assume she wanted to steal the things they took. She was awesome nevertheless.

Lol at the maid. A clumsy maid but that can throw projectiles, i consider that too dangerous.

Neris is freaking Robin Hood level of archery. Shooting the other arrow in the air. WTf? Where did she learn that shit?

So the prince guy is hiding stuff obviously. He must know something about our main guy since he was holding his armor and sword.

LOL..."Black Tail", I wonder who it could be?!?!?!


Anyways, I think this anime is a bit underrated, I understand it's a bit boring at times, however; the the art, animation and characters are really well done.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next episodes.

Xiao-Mei is almost as good at disguising herself as Bugs Bunny...still my favorite character though. The plot is slowly advancing too. Not a bad episode 4/5.

So, Neris is kind of greedy, I like that.

Xiao Mei and the new girl Rona were kickass and the latter one is so clumsy which I never get tired of.

Royalties as prestige of noble aristocracy ~ .. they sure brings the regal atmosphere .
So clumsy little puppy ~ .. talking about the patrols, they appears to be ill-mannered not strict .
The Black tail in the midst of burglary !! They were really dexterous in terms of combat .

Apparently it does not seem so compelling, however as the story went running, I changed my mind and I am convinced also of what I saw.
The story line well and also the various doubts about what happens, immediately find adequate feed to explain why certain actions.
The drawing is excellent quality as well as the sets, while simple, are well made. Soundtrack catchy and fits the context, very interesting battles took place in the library.
