| There's an end credits scene; y'all may have missed it, but it's so important. This episode, seeing it animated, it hurts. |

| That fucking smile. Manaria has somehow completely changed Rei in just two episodes. Manaria was Claire's childhood crush. Claire, feeling down after Lene's departure, had started to regain her spirits with Manaria's presence. However, Manaria, intrigued by Rei, began to take care of Claire's surroundings, seemingly as a provocation. The days without being able to stay by Claire's side continued, and Rei's patience was reaching its limit. And so, their duel kicks off, a showdown to figure out who gets to stand by Claire's side. It's really sad how people often only realize the true worth of something after they've lost it. Because Rei has these super adaptable qualities that can't be cracked, and her dual attributes don't cancel each other out, it's practically impossible to beat her with just a single-type magic. You've got to use a mix of attributes to have a shot, but getting hit by that kind of magic usually means serious damage—at least that's how it seems from the magic we've seen in the matches. Oof. Everything Rei put in the effort for, gone in an instant. I'm so pumped for that finale next week now. |

| Shucks, Manaris is taking over Rae's job as her personal servant! The irony... It pisses Rae so much that even talking to Misha about it, and the game dynamics have changed that Claire is getting more attached to Manaria, good for her. But with jealousy comes intermittence, and both Pepi and Loretta sense the change within Rae so much to warn her about it. The declaration of love between Rae and Manaria for Claire, the latter attempts to break free of the former's one-sided love for the villainess, citing her half-heartedness. With the match between Rae and Manaria, the former goes all-out with her game knowledge, though she also knows what's coming for her when Manaria decides to take her seriously, only to take her down with the most wicked spell. Of course, with how esteemed Manaria is, there is just no way of winning over her. The Amour Ceremony goes like clockwork, though Rae admits her loss and Claire gets worried over her, but her behaviour has regressed for the worst How will these two ever rekindle their love for one another? |

| That last scene man. I expected something like this, but I was not ready |

| That Manaria is just a bitch getting Rae and Miss Claire to separate and that scene at the end was just heartbreaking |

| @Reecey91 you know... when we see Claire all depressed next week, I better not see Manaria with a surprised Pikachu face legitimately going "why is Claire sad?" otherwise I am going to lose it. |
 |
| Aaaaaa the melodrama. I loved it. I get why Rei was sulking, and I wouldn't call that childish given how Claire was completely ignoring her before. But she does need to sort out her feelings. I wonder where things will go from here? It's obvious from Claire's reaction when Rei got hurt just how dear she is to her, and it really does seem like she's struggling to choose between old love and her current one. But maybe there will be an external conflict in the next episode that'll help them make up later. I'm interested in seeing what kind of a talk Manaria and Rei will have based on the preview. I've spoiled myself on a few things regarding Manaria so I know what's yet to come ^^ |

| Damnnnn banger episode wow. My favourite so far. I love drama like this. Manaria has been such a fun character to spice things up. Yea, she’s been a bitch at times, but she’s actually pushing things forward with Rae and Claire. Now that Rae has quit her post as maid, we’re gonna see how much her not being around affects Claire. As Shakespeare said, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I’m not sure if Manaria is doing this for vindictive reasons or genuinely to help Rae and Claire get together, but either way the outcome is going to be the same. The way they were before, nothing was gonna happen with Rae and Claire. They needed a stimulus. The fight scene was intense. Getting hit by dominator ironically wasn’t Rae’s loss, but her win because Claire was so concerned for her. Think that’s the first time we see Claire get angry and question Manaria as well. The post credits scene was brutal to watch because you know how much Rae cares for Claire and how hard that decision to quit must have been. Manaria told her to not run away though and she’s doing exactly that. For Claire, her shedding tears over Rae is such a big deal. It’s undeniable that it’s more than just a simple maid master relationship at this point. Plus, having lost her previous maid she’s gotta be extra sensitive rn. Can’t wait to see what happens next episode. Sad that it’s the finale 😢 |

| Melodrama sucks here but it is something to test Rae's resolve with her relationship with Claire since she has been someone obsessive with her but also passive in actually attempting to pursue a romantic relationship in a serious manner, probably due to internal fears of rejection as from the game she is aware of Claire's interest in others like Thane or even another female like Manaria that Claire had been getting extremely close with - who happens to also not be a commoner too. It feels forced as hell but I understand why it is there. Rae leaving Claire feels like a tantrum right now considering the argument they had but in a way, it does give them both the opportunity to distance from each other to realize what they mean to each other. It takes separating from something sometimes to understand its true value and that is probably on display here. While I get why it is the way it is, still pretty cliche and annoying to watch too as a whole. Didn't feel much myself seeing these conflicts at hand. |
| Looks like Manaria's plan worked well on Claire, but backfired spectacularly on Rae. Next episode's title does give hope that at least one of them won't stay useless, though, and we'll get past this touble as well. |

| this anime is going crazy or it is driving me crazy |
 |
| Okay, I was already angry by the introduction of Manaria last episode, but nothing prepared me for the absolute shit show that was about to unfold, the classic generic "lol, get cucked" garbage these shows always do, adding a stupid, nonsensical plot device which only purpose is to delay the climax by "testing" the resolve of the Main Character. Why the fuck would they need to do this anyway, this late in the anime, where Claire was already flourishing feelings for Rae in a very nice way, why add more seasoning? why ruin everything like this? Who wrote this piece of garbage? Fuck this show. |

| was not expecting this episode to literally make me cry but here we are |
 |
| Never did I think that Rae would suffer such a crushing defeat, let alone at the hand of Manaria who pretty much won everything. Worst part for her isn't that she lost when it comes to love, it's that she lost herself as soon as a rival appeared. |

I'm surprised on the length they've covered of the novel and manga to 12 episodes. I'm so impressed and happy. ;w; |

| Rae’s peanuts done went sour in this one lol, Manaria shook thinks up in more ways that I thought she would, it went from comedic to some actual drama striking up near the end there after Rae lost her fight with Manaria. I definitely couldn’t see Rae ever being this way with Claire up till now, kinda hurt to see but I liked it at the same time, now I wonder how long the two of them will stay apart before something brings them together once again. And of course there’s the possibility that Manaria is doing all this to help Rae instead of being a villain like it currently seems she is. We did hear her thoughts once when she won Claire in the duel but I’m not sure if that removes the wingwoman possibility, and as of rn that’s definitely what I think is going on, it’ll be interesting to see if she does anything to save their relationship now that Rae has done the big bad. And lastly, the ED being a different part of the song was a nice tough, fitting for this episode. |
My reaction to this forced-ass drama. |

YoshiYogurt said: @zenshiki I don't think they've covered enough. Can't believe there's only 1 more episode. i agree there were some parts although not majorly altering the main events is still abit sad when they didn't include it but I'm still happy nonetheless we had a chance to see this story animated. 😭 the gravity of feelings in the LN has been given justice on this animation. I really hope they push a second season on this up until at least on the second volume of the LN. |

| Rae couldn't beat Manaria. :( This is really bad. Can Rae make things right before it's too late? |
 |
| Ngl I was so excited for this episode I actually looked up the light novel and took speak ahead so i basically knew what was happening this episode. But I haven’t seen anything past the point Rae quit being Claire’s maid. I’m and 100% getting the ln when this show ends. I guarantee this won’t get a second season because that’s how yuri’s are. But I’ve heard many good things about the light novel and I really wanna read it. |
| Manaria is repeatedly stated to be an ally to Rae in the game, so I won't hop on that hate train yet. Yuri knows Rae needs a push or two to stop hiding her love for Claire behind comedy! Dominator was pretty brutal though. I'm glad they had that magic dampening barrier to reduce its damage. |
 |
| Already mentally prepared for this episode. I'm glad they still include Rae's reasoning on her dislike towards the Posie Armour story and Misha is up for role as the wingwoman for Rae. Quite surprised the battle scene is quite short and Rae being put into Dominator box locked effect is pretty cool. They also include the SSCC scene when Claire comes to hold Rae's unconscious body, nice touch. And yeah Pepi and Loretta also support Rae more rather than Manaria to be with Claire. There are more story into these two underlings than just what we saw only from Rae's pov. Yeah Rae at this point is already giving up pursuing Claire's love so she would choose to act silly to avoid being hurt from rejection which stem from her past gay life experiences. So she choose to believe to stay by her side and said as long as Claire is happy she is fine. And from Claire's side of thing, there are two obstacles that she need to overcome. Firstly, her nobility life standard and secondly her self doubt on being undeserving of love. Everyone that she cares about will eventually leave her side from her mother, Lene and now Rae too. Not to mention, Rae always act silly and not genuine in front of her. Manaria is just the worst wingwoman or love cupid for both of these idiots but she is really needed or their relationship is going nowhere. So the only thing that Rae need to do is by act serious and genuine in front of Claire so she wouldn't doubt it anymore. Too bad the anime will end until this arc which is really a shame. As an introduction, the anime is pretty decent for introducing the cast and the settings. The actual journey will begin past the anime when both of them finally work together as partners. |

| Claire said, thank you for being my servant. Omg I just wasn't ready for this, but, it happened. They are both done now, what can they do in the future? I'm looking forward to it. |
| please just let them separated !! not worthy to catch that dumbass blonde hair !! |
| I teared up when Claire ran over to Rae getting hurt. She just looked so scared. That didnt leave me enough time to recover before Rae resigning herself from being around Claire and Claire letting her go but thanking her sincerely. Actually what Manaria said to Rae before gets to me on a personal level so this ep broke me more than it intended to. ;_; |

| Rae saying she only wants Claire to be happy my ass! Rae used her knowledge of the game to forcibly become Claire's maid even Claire didn't like it, she's pretty much a stalker and now looks like Claire is in love with Rae but just hasn't realised it yet. These GL and BL works always have the same scenarios. What great writing! /s I'd rather prefer Claire to be with Manaria but Manaria is of course going to be plot device to get Rae and Claire together. |
 「あなたのためなら世界中を敵にしてもかまわない」 "If it was for your sake I wouldn't mind even if I had to turn the whole world into my enemy" |
| Yeah I'm also thinking that Manaria is actually trying to support both Rae and Claire's relationship but doing it in a heavy handed way. On that note I also think that Manaria will end up leaving both of them alone so that they can reconcile, and they probably shouldn't have showed the title for the finale since it kind of spoils it IMO. |
| Rae lost it all it all and in a spectacular fashion too. Funny enough she was told to take care of Claire by her lackies. |
| Damn...that was really sad and really good. I feel like Rae has every right to be pissed off. It gets to the point where, if you actually like someone, you gotta drop the tsundere bit and communicate. Manaria is such a b!tch and I hope the don't try to spin it as "she was trying to help them get together," because that's annoying. |
