Of course they would give Yumiella the tough work. This seems like a recurring trend now but this episode involves her having to take on a dragon. I know this show doesn't have many fights involving monsters yet so it's actually refreshing.

Not going to lie, I think the relationship/chemistry between her and Patrick this episode is adorably amusing to see. She seems to be more open to him than anyone else.

Legendary black dragon... Wait, wrong series; that's the one with the saint.

Upon being asked by her classmate Jessica to handle the dragon residing in her family's domain, Yumiella wasted no time and headed directly to the mountain where the dragon dwelled. In line with gaming logic, she quietly felt a surge of motivation at the prospect of acquiring a mode of transportation. Upon arrival, she discovered an egg, knowing that dragons hatch their eggs through magic, and the more magic it receives, the stronger it becomes. Yumiella decided to take the egg, hopeful that she might finally obtain a means of transportation.

Yumiella's got quite the bed to handle both the dragon and her obliviousness. It's really cool how the heroine sees her as this mysterious figure holding the egg. And seeing Patrick train is just too cute. He's really trying hard to be with our lovable dork. Though, I have to admit, I couldn't quite follow what Patrick was going on about this time, the dragon's adorable with those big eyes. It's crazy how fast they grow up. And then there's Eleanora, fearless as ever. She's earned her title as the lady who dared to challenge the Demon Lord and her Dark Knight, even taming her new draconic steed.

Yumiella's denseness is just classic, as always. Let's give a moment of silence for Patrick.

Well Yumiella spend her time during her vacation well getting a new partner.
Tho it seems that new partner causes fear on those around it, but at least it seems like a nice partner.
Patrick was having a hard time this episode tho.

Anyway it seems another country finally made contact with Yumiella and i wonder what they want.

Idk what is more shocking. The fact that i managed to understand Japanese without subs because for some reason Crunchyroll English subs did nothing or that the dragon changed dimensions half way through the episode.

@chocoanimerecap Yumiella goes on vacation and brings back a dragon's egg. The whole episode is about her hatching it, the newborn growing up and people's reaction about it.

Definitely, the weakest link in this show is this 3D. But they hardly use it, so it's ok.

Stopped reading the manga so I wouldn't see what's coming next and wouldn't complain about it being different and I don't regret it. Probably should've expected she'd adopt a dragon. Either way it was pretty fun and I can't wait til next week!

Dragon! Cute! Although, the animation got a bit meh as Ryu grew bigger. Still, I loved that Yumiella has a dragon now, and Eleanora's reaction was unexpected. I'm kinda starting to like her character, hope she'll find someone better than the prince, who'd actually appreciate her, or at least decide she doesn't need that tosser.

The guy in the end was hilarious. "So... I'm a spy from another country" should be in a SPY 101 somewhere, of how NOT to start a conversation when you're a spy, lol.

No matter how silly I simply love Yumilla. She’s just fun. Its really good to see that Patrick is all in now as well. Trying to ask her to level up with him, watching the dragon hatch, taking her to the nurse.. These two better get together by the end of season or I’ LL be casting dark magic on everyone lol. Really hope it works out for them!

Other than the horrendous dragon CGI.. awesome episode lmao

A legendary dragon is the perfect pet for Yumiella. The whole hatching process to it growing into a massive dragon in like 2 days just had me dying. Patrick is the voice of reason in the situation and Yumiella is just as happy as can be that she’s got a pet 😂

Everyone looking at Ryu as this awful hideous creature and Yumiella just sees him as the cutest thing in the world. You know something gotta be scary for Patrick of all people to run away from Yumiella(when she said it was gonna sleep in the bed with her)

Ryu trying to bite off everyone’s head and Elenora dumbass is just super happy because it brings her closer to Edwin lol. Speaking of Edwin, he and Alicia must’ve gotten very close over summer vacation given how she calls him “Ed Kun” now.

Yea, I saw Yumiella falling off ryu when it did that spin move coming from a mile away lol, luckily she’s completely OP so that fall was nothing major. I got so much respect for Patrick trying to be dependable though. Hopefully they get on the same page one day and he can tell her how he feels.

Hilarious episode

Yumiella casually takes out two dragons, then proceeds to steal their egg and hatch it.

It was a fun episode, and I thought Ryu was cute until the CGI kicked in.

Well I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fight with the dragons since Yumiella just deleted them from existence, but I did really enjoy the antics with her newborn child “Ryu” that followed, he really is just like his mom with how derpy he is chomping on people’s heads and such lol. And later came the test drive for riding Ryu, and while the dragon CGI is a bit jarring I did really enjoy that moment where Yumiella plummeted to the earth when she attempted a loop lol.

And although we all know Yumiella was perfectly fine after that nasty fall, it is sweet of Patrick to be worried for her anyway, and the poor lad has been training his ass off so hopefully he’ll win her some day lol. And we got teased another upcoming plot when a green haired lad from another kingdom wanted to speak with Yumiella, I’m sure if there’s a reward Yumiella will agree to whatever it is lol.

The CG on the dragon is not good, because it clashes too much with the 2D background of the dragon which is a bit blurry. In my opinion, this episode doesn't give a good impression because the plot is too fast because suddenly it was already the second year just like that.

LOLOLOL I’ve never seen Yumiella this happy before she sounded so excited than usual in this episode all bc of the egg “she laid”🤣🤣

Ed being a hater once again and Alicia being scared of Yumiella and her dragon egg was funny but girl needs to get a grip and stop being scared💀

Patrick being confused asf wondering where Yumiella was while holding her in his hands was jokes bro I don’t blame bro tho he was so fixated on healing a person who fell from the sky and created a whole ass crater😭

The dragon was actually pretty cool looking when it was 2D and then the CGI came in and made it look weird, what’s with this studio using cgi so much🤦🏽‍♂️😭

I wonder what a spy from another kingdom wants tho?🧐

LOL

Patrick: "What's that egg?"

Yumi: "It's my child"

Patrick: "HUUUUUH? ? ?"

Well, too bad Patrick, you were too late, Yumi already got a kid. LOL

.

Also, huh... so the "event" got changed... where it used to be Alicia that goes to handle the Dragon, but now it becomes Yumi.

Slowly... Yumi's turning into the game's Protag instead of Alice, LOL.

And Alicia's POV... LOOOL, technically poor girl, since she can't control her POV and can't help but look at the dark energy coming out of Yumi.

.

And Yumi's getting so excited at "birthing" her "child"

Yumi's so cute.

BTW... while Ryu's a species name, but it's also a individual name... there's a lot of people with Ryu or Ryuu as their names... how did Yumi that came from Japan not know this?

"There are people that doesn't like animal in this world"

"I don't think that's the problem here"... LOL

And... how the F did Ryu grew so fast? especially from a couple of hours he gone from a 2 human height size to a 5 human height CGI size...

.

Eleanora's very positive huh... I kinda love that about her, if only she wasn't so enticed with Edwind...

And Patrick's head gone KAPUI... dude think that fall would hurt Yumi... LOL.

"from someone who actually read the manga"

they RUINED the episode .. they skipped over so many funny details! in fact they even ignored the real reason why Patrick reacted the way he did!
before the egg hatched, in the manga they skipped over the family hunting event altogether, it was nice to once again see BlackHole in action!
however the anime skipped altogether the fact Yumiella played with her dragon, and the fact the dragon actually never flew above the capital, nor followed her as she fell! the dragon thought she was merely playing with it! also it wasn't because of the loop; rather SHE'S the one who slipped!

she played with her dragon by "standing and spinning it using center-fugal force" if you are wondering.. yeah .. she IS level 99! for her to play around with that size of a dragon! and be able to throw it around like a literal baby!

also her "darkness jets" landing was much funnier in the manga and lasted longer! finally.. when she landed she stood still perfectly! the reason patrick reacted with worry.. was merely because she broke her shoes.. and thus he simply carried Yumiella wearing her socks through the academy to the nurse office .. making even more rumors about how they both get along together ..

also a side note "her maid gave a mental note: if Yumiella is already inviting Patrick to her room, why not make him her official betroth already?!" they are already acting as if they are engaged as is!

It's rather refreshing to see the idiot prince in this sight, but Alicia caring so much for him was rather unbearable to see for he doesn't deserve her kindness.

Eleonora is my pick for this episode. 😳🥰

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I know this is based off the LN but its about to overtake the Manga by how slow the manga gets released.

This show is really one of the surprises for the season for me, only thing letting it down is the CGI but other than that i cant wait for the next episode

you're telling me Yumi didn't lay that big egg herself? lol come on bakatrick

i like how she thinks the dragon is cute but everyone else is scared, look at her maid hahaha

didn't expect the dragon to grow like that overnight but sure
a little flashback to her helping her classmate's town with the 2 dragons, interesting that her classmates can ask her for help, i mean the town was in danger so that girl had little choice

the different aproaches between the classmates (Specially the prince and Alicia) and Eleonora was priceless lmao
"i might be the only noble to be chewed by a dragon", she is so funny, i love her lol

the flying part was interesting, i like how she was like "let's say hello" and everyone else was just "go away"
ofc she fell down, why would she not grab better? tho i guess she isn't worried about her fall damage, but instead the damage on the people who would be hit by her

lastly, a spy, probably wants to ask her to join his kingdom, but hopefully (for him) he doesnt try anything stupid like trying to tie her up or slay her

@Otakudan62 I agree with your points, it distorted a lot of 2D when it became 3D and also the story is advancing a lot without showing us, of course they must be insignificant points, but I think there could at least be a time lapse of this and that's what bothers me most. It's just that even though we've advanced a lot in the story, the characters in the game, like the prince and the girl of light, they haven't developed anything, they're the same as in the first episode, it got boring, they've lived together for 1 year and they still have the same reactions?

For some reason, I feel a bit bored seeing this kind of "overpower" plot in otome game stories. Moreover, the lack of character development that was too fast gave me the impression that in fact I only watched the anime it felt like there was something odd. The case is similar to several anime stories that were cut from the original source .but overall so far my latest episode has a rating of 6.5/10 but for the episode with the black dragon it is 5/10 in my opinion.

Think Patrick's gonna feel this way many, many times n his life. Maybe he'll make it part of his wedding vows, finished with "Kick their asses, babe. I've got your flower."

Also, good for Eleanora to roll with the dragon like that. She's way more interesting than I gave her credit for!
