Money, desuno!
Riko was Yohane's first official scamming fortune-telling customer and she want to buy Lailaps. lol
Finally, Yohane got a proper job and she seemed to be happy about it too even though she got a little money from it.
The Takami Rangers and the berserked deers at the end of the episode were also very interesting. It looks like that we'll get a proper plot from it, more or less.

I loved this episode. Got to see more new girls(Dai, Chika and her sisters and more). The story is developing quite well. I love Yohane so so much.

The moments I liked the most in the episode were: Yohane (expected but amusing) sketchy first "job", Ruby and You fun (and very brief) appearances, that heart-warming apology Yohane makes to Hanamaru, Riko's funny reaction when she sees Lailaps, Yohane's odd jobs towards the end, the absolutely positively adorable ending song, and that post-credits scene haha it made me laugh, did not expect Chika-chan in a superhero group with her sisters.

That post-credits scene sure made me curious about what's happening in town, and it will be interesting to see in future episodes if the series invests a lot of time in action/mystery moments or if it stays a mostly sol/comedy series.
I think Mari and Kanan are the only girls we didn't see, and I hope we'll get a more proper introduction to Ruby and You's characters soon.

I found the episode a little bit too slow for my taste in its first half (like the first episode in fact), but it still had a lot of good and fun ideas (mostly in its second half I think). 
I expect to like more the following episodes as the introduction part of the story will be done for the most part.
Overall still an intriguing and enjoyable episode!

Sorry not exactly eps related, but I'm just want to take a quote from this eps:

"Working isn't just about money, zura-yo.." - Hanamaru

Really as perspective of daily work-salary man, this quote really hit hard on me. About every time going work just because to gain more money & getting stress on it, this remind me again to be happy and just enjoy doing your job/career. Thanks Hanamaru.

Only Yohane can understand what Lailaps is saying, and Lailaps know this. Yohane does not, because Lailaps does not talk around anyone anymore. She did in episode 1, when Maru said she was barking, but Yohane didn't notice.

No matter the universe, Hanamaru is always going to be there to be Yohane's emotional support and pillar, the ED was lovely, I wish they would sing more OP and ED for other shows like BanG Dream bands do.

Yohane Sundays let’s goooo

Finally get to see Dia and the other girls. Wow they look great. I love their fantasy designs. Fairy Ruby is really cute!

Yohane’s failed fortunate telling business had me dying 😂 “it’s not gonna rain today right?” “Absolutely not!”

Is it weird that I got a little emotional and teared up when Yohane used what little money she earned for the day to support Hanamaru’s shop? That was just so sweet and pure to me. Truly a real friend. Especially after she offended her the day before. That quote about money not being the only reason for work is so real. If you make money and aren’t fulfilled by what you do it’s meaningless. Conversely, if you’re not making much money but truly love what you do, you’re a very rich person.

Million dollar here to save the day! Loving the story here so far

Oh absolutely, the fact that Maru constantly seems to be one of the least popular LL girls makes me even more happy to see that she gets some good screentime here.

So Chika and her family run a hotel now, kinda fitting giving how many of them there are lol, and looks like that’s not all they do after seeing that last scene, about to see the Chika family whoop ass lol. And Dia having that authoritative position among the town makes a lot of sense for her too, she really looks good in that look, and Riko not being afraid of dogs surprised me but I like the twist lol.

And I’m ngl, while I enjoyed Yohane helping out her fellow townsfolk thanks to Hanamaru’s words, I don’t think it’s wrong to work to support your wellbeing lol, it’s nice and wholesome Hanamaru isn’t in it just for the money but Yahane wanting that bread is understandable, but looks like some folks here were appreciative of the sentiment and that’s understandable too. And that ED was very nice, I liked it a lot, and of course the OP still slaps.

I LOVE IT! THAT ENDING THO, BASED CHIKA, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

I don't understand, is this anime trying to flesh out Yohane's character in a fun way, or is it trying to make Hanamaru the best girl? she is so cute here omg

I wanna see more of my baby girl Ruby as a fairy ❤️
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

i didn’t realize this was a love live series until this episode lmao oh well

I guess it says something that I stuck around despite not being a fan of love live? The character designs are cute, I’m curious what’s going on and how it’ll get resolved, and the gags had an honest chuckle out of me. Hanamaru is adorable and the protag has that bratty energy I find endearing. <3

Overall I liked the second episode! I can’t wait to see more of the superhero squad teased at the end there.

The animation is beautiful, but so far it's felt like such a waste given the lack of plot and direction. Hopefully it picks up in the next episode.

Also I feel like they're trying to do too much with Yohane, which feels kinda ironic given how slowly it's progressing. Seems like Yohane has accumulated a bunch of random new attributes in this world: loves singing (Kanon) + wants to be a star (Nico/Kasu/Sumire) + wants to make money (Natsumi) + wants to get out her hick town (Kinako).

My expectations for this show may be just severely misplaced.

if that building isn't her house, how can she afford it for such a sketchy "job"? Ok that this is really a fantasy universe (multiple male characters!), but... whatever. And considering her fortune teller "career" is probably ended before even starting, it was nice to suddenly see her as odd jobs Yo-rozuy-hane (ok, this was awful) style handywoman.

Oh, the irony of Riko having just moved to Numazu recently (again) and dealing with a dog (even if there isn't the outcome that probably everyone expert of the franchise was expecting).

More Aqours familiar members appeared, but still not all. Still, it was nice to see here as well Kagura (ehm, i mean... Chika's mother), Shima, and Mito. Also, considering the previews, the bigger sisters will have a larger role?

(oh no, she wasted an opportunity to directly quote Hanayo Koizumi... "Dareka..." but not "tasukete").

Great See Chika, Dia, Riko, and a little bit of You are all having fun in the town of Nuzamu, but I'm not sure what's up with Ruby. I see Yohane's perspective as wanting a life full of grandeur but wanting that lifestyle elsewhere. I also forgot to mention it last time, but I am amazed by the art style Sunrise went with.

Ahh, that ED is so soothing. I feel so uplifted.

This is far more relaxing & SOL oriented than I'd have expected. This whole thing plays into Yohane's character so well as she discovers joy in the ordinary things.
