He have his first official assassination as Lugh. Although it might not be the easiest one to bear since he widowed the Count's wife, it doesn't gloss over the fact that they stacked their riches for others' miseries. At the end of the day, it must be done.

Also Maha is back and teasing Illig on love and concubines is pretty feisty I should say. Although if Lugh will pick all of them, I'm pretty sure our deredere chick would be the bottom co-bine, I'm sorry but it's neck and neck between Dia and Talt. Either way, whatever Lugh will pick, it's a win-win for us all.....but seriously Talt, do you want to carry Lugh's baby? I'm pretty sure you need to first have-

I think Lugh realized why he was a superb assassin back in his old life, he separated himself from his target. But in his isekai life, deciding to kill or not to kill becomes a bit more complicated. Thus even in a derivative isekai, a superpowered MC can still have a bit of character growth.

the author is really into Lugh x his mother, huh.

Maha going on about Lugh and his harem was cringe T_T

but what I did like about the episode is that Lugh does his due diligence to investigate into his target. he didn't believe his dad at face value, but looked into the Count.

the chapter was good but I think the main plot of assassinating the hero is taking a long time I hope that in the next chapter there will be information or that the hero already appears

Lugh gave Tarte the impression that he goes to a brothel because the truth is he secretly visits Dia. It was shown a couple of episodes ago.



I think you misinterpreted that.



After all, did he go to brothels or not?

This creates a link between him and both murders.

Novel clearly notes that his weapon is summoned in such a way that it will de-spawn in a few minutes. Same goes for ammunition, so - no actual evidences other than the corpse are left.
Anime skipped this info unfortunately.

King's work is to set and uphold the law, not to become the scariest criminal. Is it acceptable for you if a leader of your country sends assassins after citizens "when the law doesn't work"? He must make it work, this is literally his job.

King's job is to make people obey his orders. Nothing more, nothing less. If he's also make sure law is upholded - he would be "the good king".
Still, it's not granted. A good example would be the "Richard the Lionhearth" from any of Robin Hood stories is a "good king" despite actually being war-oriented king who does nothing to actually build and improve his country.

It's all across European history, you can check it out yourself.
The band of armed guys forced some people to obey(killing some in the process, robbing, raping, pillaging) - that's how kingdoms were born.
The bigger band of other armed guys came in, killed oppositing force, razed, pillaged, raped local people and make them obey the new order - that's how kingdoms were enlarged or conquered.
The band of armed guys went out of control, killed the king(raped, pillaged, razed something in the process) and the most powerfull of them(or the one who paid them more) sat on the throne himself - that's how kings were replaced. Of course, poison and dagger were also an option.
It wasn't about "law" or "people" in the first place, more about "power", "money", "resources" and "control", with "law" as an instrument of said control over money and resources that gave the power. The "selective law usage" was a very common practice.

Kings themselves were above the law. They were the law. Of course, as long as they were able to force others to agree they could go that way, so the "band or armed men" aka knights-barons-counts-etc and the army were given a part of that power. A smaller part but still they were allowed to set local laws, decide what is right and who is wrong and such - in exchange for supporting the king.

The idea that king has to do something for people is later idea. Partially for a reason that doing something for people would support the king's power.

I'm surprised people aren't talking about the tons of CGI being used in the last few episodes... Especially obnoxious in this one. Feels like studio ran out of budget on the earlier episodes.

because i was so interested in what was happening that i would never have noticed any cg lmao people just need to find random reasons complain i guess

Bruh this mom is weird as heck. Who needs drug rehabs in this world when you have Lugh?

Lugh over here with 3 girls in love with him at 14 while I have 0. My man is going places. Maha literally tells him "I am in love with you but won't pursue you actively"... Girl didn't you just confess? Isn't that actively pursuing him?

"You just seemed forlorn"... You were looking at the back of his head...

Lol. Lugh's mom is rather funny. Wants to know if he's "grown up" down there is funny.

Got his first assassination mission completed without any problems. But the weight he feels when he saw the wife crawl towards her husband's dead body really makes you feel it.

I'm kind of disappointed he hasn't touched any of the girls and instead goes to brothels to relieve himself. I mean the girls already know that he's an "adult" now and its not surprising as they're ready and willing to give it to him. He has two pretty attractive girls near him. Sigh. It reminds me of another isekai anime that won't touch his slaves so goes to the brothels instead as he prefers older women.

She even recruited the world's best paparazzo who unfortunately got tangled in a hit and run affair by an out of control horse. LOL

Looks like any standard hit from his old life except magic and his initial emotion on his first assassination on this second life.

ugh with lots of preparation and Confirming the victim, finally came to the conclusion that the victim is a criminal who is making profits for himself by destroying the peace and happiness of the kingdom, so he eventually assassinated him.

I give it 6/10.

Essa mãe dele é muito hilária kkkkkkkkkk Ela me fez ri bastante. A cena dela conversando com o Lug sobre se casar enquanto a Tarde escuta foi genial kkkkkkkkkkkkk
A deusa chamando os caras é sempre bons d+
Ver que ele conseguiu sentir algo após cometer aquele assassinato e refletindo sobre e depois receber um abraço da Tarde foi incrível,
Provavelmente, um dos melhores episódios.

the inevitable harem part of isekai
after the apparently also inevitable incest part with his weirdly obsessive mother

How much time did he actually spend with Maha, wasnt it just 6 month? Seems odd when she talks about having grown up, same with her becoming an assassin after Tarte got a training arc which lasted basically multiple years.

Shouldnt he be training more? Nothing he does here looks like it would actually help him to kill the hero. Not that it will ever actually come to that with this kind of story.

The hero is totally going to be a cute girl, I just know.

This show flip flops between beeing generic as possible and beeing weirdly interesting, that the same author also made Redo of Healer doesnt help.

Lugh's mother knows how to get to a girl's heart.

"Have my grandchildren. You can start attempting to conceive right away!".

No strings attached with Tarte involved... Right Mrs Tuatha De?

No intense fight, his first mission seems plain. More relationship story and Lugh build a harem kingdom without he realized. Idk how it ends, seems the story still far far away to kill a hero.

Apparently, Lugh was frequenting brothels at one point. Why you would do that when you essentially have a harem is beyond me.

I think they did a good job here. Showing that the husband and wife were a loving couple who was previously poor makes the job less black and white. But his actions are also of course harming many people. So I don't know what to think either. The count deserved punishment but hard to say if this was the best way to go about it

The way Maha phrased about "using tarte" feels so wrong. Like phrasing. Please. There's a billion less dehumanizing way of saying that same thing and banging her.

I like the fact that Lugh's first official target wasn't just some evil villain doing evil shit for the sake of being evil, there's humanity in him. He sold military secrets for narcotics so soldiers die or return with life-changing injuries and obviously narcotics ruin people's lives, however, his own people thrive and he's kept his wife happy.

The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat, Episode 9

My Thoughts:

I love Ersi’s voice in the English dub.

I like how bold Maha Balor is.

Lugh should attend Count Venkaur’s funeral to express his condolences and promote his products.

Event Highlights:

Lugh Tuatha Dé carries out his first solo assassination for the Tuatha Dé.

Lugh and Maha have an awesome conversation in a carriage. The highlights include:
* Maha tells Lugh that Tarte loves him.
* Maha reveals that Lugh occasionally visited brothels in Milteu.
* Maha says that Tarte was on the brink of tears when he visited the brothels.
* Maha tells Lugh that he should have sex with Tarte since Tarte wants it and there are no brothels near Lugh's home.
* Maha confesses that she loves him.
* Maha says she and Tarte are okay with being his mistresses.

Even More Thoughts:

It is out of character for Lugh and Tarte not to agree on their cover story.

If a Count can bribe even higher-ranking nobles, then corruption must be entrenched at the highest levels of nobility.

Names and places:

Count Azba Venkaur was Lugh’s first solo target. He is also a prominent drug trafficker.

Countess Bridgette Venkaur is the wife of Count Venkaur.

Pisear is the second-largest merchant town after Milteu.

Vizein is a narcotic drug.

All Relevant Events:

Lugh's first solo assassination mission is to kill a noble who sells military secrets to neighboring kingdoms in exchange for drugs. Lugh is free to carry out this mission however he pleases. The target is Count Azba Venkaur.

Ersi (Lugh's mother) is trying to arrange a marriage for Lugh, but he refuses. Ersi then proposes that Tarte should be the one to bear her grandchildren. Lugh quickly dismisses the idea.

25 years earlier: The Goddess summons a deceased paparazzo to deal with the Hero. He is number 519.

Lugh and Tarte arrive in Pisear.

A girl offers Lugh and Tarte some free jam. Tarte treats Lugh as her lover, but Lugh reminds her that they are supposed to be siblings. Since they are on an empty street, they become suspicious. After Lugh tastes the jam, a group of men attacks them. They easily deal with the men.

Lugh talks to the girl who offered them free jam. She takes them to her house, where they meet her mother, who is an addict. Lugh administers a treatment to her for her addiction. He remarks that it will remove her physical dependence on Vizein, but not her psychological dependence.

Using Orna's information network, Maha confirms that Count Venkaur is the leader of the drug trafficking network.

Count Venkaur blames the mafia for his drug trafficking. The Count sends bribes to higher-ranking nobles, which earns him the protection of the great houses. This renders the royal family unable to punish him openly.

Lugh and Maha have an awesome conversation in a carriage. The highlights include:
* Maha tells Lugh that Tarte loves him.
* Maha reveals that Lugh occasionally visited brothels in Milteu.
* Maha says that Tarte was on the brink of tears when he visited the brothels.
* Maha tells Lugh that he should have sex with Tarte since Tarte wants it and there are no brothels near Lugh's home.
* Maha confesses that she loves him.
* Maha says she and Tarte are okay with being his mistresses.

The primary industry in Venkaur’s territory (where Pisear is located) is agriculture. Agriculture alone does not account for the kind of wealth the Venkaurs possess.

They visit Countess Venkaur to have her try their moisturizer and endorse the product.

After several nights, Lugh kills Count Venkaur with a shot from a magic rifle.

Seeing Countess Venkaur mourn her husband affects Lugh emotionally, something he had never experienced during an assassination.

Carriage conversation

Maha: It's been a while since we were last together.
Lugh: It's been less than a month since I left Milteu.
Maha: As far as I'm concerned, ten days without you is far too long.
Lugh: Orna's acting director didn't need to accompany me.
Maha: I wanted to see you.
Lugh: Even when we're apart, you're a tremendous help.
Maha: Thank you.
Lugh: You're welcome.
Maha: Say, Brother Illig...
Have things between you and Tarte
progressed since you returned to Tuatha Dé?
Lugh: Progressed? What do you mean?
Maha: I mean as a man and a woman.
Lugh: Of course not.
Maha: Things must be very difficult for you, then.
While you were in Milteu, you seemed to occasionally blow off steam at brothels.
But you don't have those back home.
That must be challenging.
Tarte was nearly in tears every time you went to the brothel.
You should use her, like she wants.
Lugh: Why do you want us to have that kind of relationship?
Maha: It seems you force yourself not to consider romantic feelings for us.
Lugh: We're family. Just how often do you think we're together?
Maha: When we were little, we saw you as our dependable older brother.
But we're growing up. With the most wonderful man in the world so close to us, how could we not fall in love with him?
Lugh:You've come to speak rather directly.
Maha: When we're apart, I think about what I want to say to you at the next opportunity.
But nothing is more painful than being ignored.
Tarte tends to bottle things up without complaint.
If you keep behaving that way toward her, she'll eventually explode.
Lugh: Then I'll try abandoning my preconceptions and looking at Tarte.
But I can't accept her.
Maha: Because of Ms. Dia?
Tarte wouldn't mind being second to her, or being your convenient mistress,as long as you love her.
Besides, aren't you a noble?
You should keep a mistress or two.
Lugh: Is that so?
Maha: It is so.
Do you understand now that there are two girls besides Ms. Dia who love you?
Lugh: That's one more than you said before.
Maha: Because I love you, too.
But I'm going to wait a little longer before actively pursuing you.
Lugh: I thought you said things when you had the chance.
Maha: Once Orna grows even more and you don't want to lose me, I'll use that as a shield to negotiate.
You're the one who taught me that a deal can't be reached unless both parties are on equal footing.
Maha: You truly are an exceptional student.
Lugh: I am. So you'd better prepare yourself.
