As it stands, it appears Erna is one of the tougher but also colder member of the group. Something just feels different about her character compared to the others.

Still, it's a good feeling that they are now united as a group to take on more missions. It appears the other girls welcomes her with open arms an Erna herself can make a smile.

Team "Tomoshibi" successfully completed their first mission. The eighth member of the team, Erna, being the trump card, they discussed how to beat sensei. Lily calmed them down with a bun. Lily-oneesan is a leader. did not get along with her colleagues at the beginning of the training period. Erna could not get along with them that quickly as it seemed to take time for Erna to accept the new team. The spy doesn't need a team, Erna seems to have to learn about team works. As Erna travelled around the city, she met Oji-san who was about to pick up Erna. Erna led them to a deeper place. Erna refers to herself as codename, Erna seems to be an agent of an organisation. Lily was worried about Erna who came home with her clothes worn out.

The other party members tell Lily oneesan not to worry too much about Erna, because Erna used to be a specialist. Erna's flashback, Erna was a scary girl. Her parents died in a fire. Erna meets sensei in the city, Erna asks sensei about training. Erna is a cute girl, lol. Erna went on a date with sensei.

Lily oneesan who was jealous, followed the suspicious Erna. The car seemed to be a deliberate accident. Erna was surprised to see sensei cool action. Sensei is really a monster, lol...

Sensei realised something, Sensei told Erna to stop this acting. Erna has an ability that can...

Erna thinks that her ability is similar to a demon. Erna explained her situation to Sensei. Erna took Sensei to a place. Sensei realises that they are being followed. All the information was leaked and they were being followed by a royal organisation. Sensei surrenders to the bandits. They are kept in a warehouse guarded by armed soldiers.

Erna apologised to Sensei as she felt that she had gotten Sensei into trouble. Boss? The Oji-san that Erna had defeated that day was the boss of the bandit gang. Sensei tried to warn Oji-san not to touch Erna. Sensei was in a chain-bound state. With a pistol shot, Sensei managed to dodge the bullet with the chain tied. Sensei really planned this. This was no coincidence, Sensei managed to get a lot of information from that bandit.

With Tomoshibi party, they managed to secure the position. Lily Oneesan was quite happy with the outcome of the mission this time. In addition to completing the mission, Erna also began to get along with the Tomoshibi party. Lily Oneesan was surprised that Sensei was able to escape so easily. Erna explained how Sensei did it to Tomoshibi's party.

Lily made a deal with Tomoshibi's party and that was the result, lol. loves so much that hug <3

And also, this is special ED by Erna?????

You know the best way how to hammer the point that something is supposed to be really sad, is to have someone stand in the rain without an umbrella, kek. 

Now, i guess to be expected, episode is focusing the unfortunate emo loli Erna, and her best attempts at ... getting more friendly with the rest of the group, by trying to kill the sensei.

Her VA also is a perfect fit.

Erna's missing story nice! This is the missing part from the first volume of the light novel. In the light novel, it is the story that takes place between the events in the second episode of the anime.

btw, I love how they put the first 8 light novel covers in the OP which represents each member in Tomoshibi.

Is this the first time they showed the opening or is it just my horrible memory? Now I must say life is uncertain, I mean our eighth girl, a walking catastrophe or so she calls herself was ultimately the one who dealt the final blow, like we saw last time.

But who can forget about that farce kidnapping incident which almost entirely had mister handsome surrender, all thanks to eighth girl. Though nvm him breaking through the chains like it was nothing a minute later, atleast it did something for self-esteem. So that's what it matters.

Also guess ED first time too.

The OP song isfinally out, and nonoc's song is perfectly average.

The next Impossible Mission into the Galgad Empire for Lamplight where Inferno left off, the girls are still forging their identifies as spies to beat Klaus at his own game, but one of them didn't want the pleasantries: Erna the Fool, wanting to do the job and act of an actual spy while sidelining the friendship game of the other girls. Lily breaking Klaus's flowers, and so it's Erna's turn to keep the momentun going through shopping as a front to attract misfortune, something brought about from her childhood of intropunitive ideation. Even though the plan was to catch Teacher unawares, this unfortunately exposes Erna's weakness more.

True to her misfortune, both Kalus and Erna getting kidnapped as hostages from this gang that were given false info from Lamplight, this was all the work in 10 days that the girls were able to muster that Kalus is proud of them. Erna the Fool might be the tool of misfortune, but she's the epitome of good luck and fortune, and despite the improvement, Lamplight still failed in their spy-foiled role against Klaus.

Looks like the girls still need more training to become full-fledged spies, they're not at the proficient level just yet. Though Erna the Fool has earned her creditability, nice.

In the end the stain on Inferno's name was expunged which is a good thing. With lamplight now taking their place things would get interesting. Nice of them to finally get an opening for the sereis but i guess they had to wait until the full team was here. That was one hell of a trick that Erna pulled off though. Still Klau's skill at evading every one of Erna's traps was damm good. The plan of using that bandit group was a bit risky but it did allow the team to take them down in earnest. Cute new ending theme. Overall a pretty fun ep that expanded Erna greatly while allowing het to forge her first bonds with the rest of the team.

So now we get the skipped content that should have come before the Impossible Mission? 
Reminds me a bit of the baffling decision they made with Peach Boy Riverside (PBR) where they aired the episodes in a random order instead of chronologically, but this time it seems by design which makes it less awful to watch than PBR but not great either. 
And it's still as ridiculous as ever.

Judging bythe other comments I doubt my opinion will be welcome so I'll keep it short.
This episode made me forget the shows about spys and I felt as though I were watching  Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka?, if we're going to be cute and about spys, the show has along way to go if it wants to compete with Anya.

The first 3 episodes, thumbs up.
4? I'm going to wait for this show to finish before I give it the time of day and stop watching it weekly.

"Fool". It was a good episode. Multiple meanings throughout. A fool because of her thoughts. A fool because of the assumptions. She fools those who are around her. Most importantly it showed that even a fool has the power to change something into a positive outcome. Her thoughts of her ability were narrow minded and foolish. To sniff out danger and place yourself in those situations makes you no different than most fools we watch. Hero=Fool.

Actually a really cool episode. Erna is so cute. The team and klaus are a perfect fit for her.

The title “fool” is really appropriate for the episode both for Lilly fooling everyone with the sweets and Erna being a fool in terms of shutting herself off from people.

Good to see an episode focused on Erna, since they had to hide her presence in the previous ones. I'm guessing the visuals in the ED will change with each character. 

Lily being the traitor in the end lol. The snacks were well worth it.

that's right, i forgot that Erna is actually mentioned much earlier in the first volume, instead of totally neglecting her until the Guido fight. her episode is just so damn odd to happen right after the 1st volume climax; I thought they were adapting a prequel volume for a sec. If only they had shown this episode 2 or 3, it wouldn't have felt so rushed. in fact, keeping her under wraps wasn't all too necessary by story's end, just doing it like this sacrificed some much needed development/training episodes

Well what can I say, it feels just like when I was reading this: a superpower fantasy action with no suspense, bland characters, wasting a half-decent setting for whatever this is. maybe it can actually feel like a spy action in the next few episodes??

Well, this episode should have came before the Impossible Mission for sure, but for what we got, this was an "acceptable" episode compared to the previous one, but this show is still the worst show of the season that I'm watching. The characters are just so bland and gimmicky, and the comedy is so unfunny, not to mention all these powers people have, they just feel like oodles and oodles of plot armour. Erna's addition to the cast and ultimately fitting in to Lamplight was quite generically executed, with a dumb kidnapping plot, and there's no villains I hate more than cackling, bumbling idiot villains. At least some of the animation is well done, but it's still not very stand-out at all.

Coming into this season, I did not expect this show to be even close to being the worst of the season, but here we are.

Erna not fitting in with people in the past because of her misfortune, but the other girls don't mind that and they want to be friends with her, which was nice to see.

The battle or however you call it was amusing to say the least, so yeah. This episode was fine, can't add more to it.

I'm glad that an episode was dedicated to one of the girls to get to know them better and in this case it was Erna, the last girl to join the group. She was smart to doubt Lily's offer of the snacks and Lily ended up being compromised!

For a minute there I thought those bandits were in cahoots with the girls to trap Klause but apparently they were actual bad guys and the girls just used them. Good ED focused on Erna.

The end was kind of funny when it was revealed Lily was basically a spy among spies.

Will give it one more episode next week, but probably will drop it there unless something spectacular happens or something.

See, we should have gotten like 4-5 of these kinds of episodes before the mission, not as flashbacks afterward. Then the mission payoff matters more to us as we've seen them grow and struggle and maybe even know who they are.

Doing it now can still be fun but it does seem like they're doing it in this order just for the reveal in episode 3 ... which was not a good enough secret to be worth kneecapping the plot and characters to this degree.

The show is now trying to dig itself up from the grave it put itself in, and while I hope it can do it, that's a big task.

erna, the member who was missing for first 2 episodes received focus, so that's good. i liked the action towards the end, very reckless of the spies tho.

also, i think erna has the top 2 best outfits in the group.

So they finally show the OP now that Erna has been introduced, and the ED as well, this time with the LN art.
I wonder if every character will have their own ED using their original LN designs.

lol I caught myself a couple times then the voice in my head kept saying "Don't count! Don't stoop to that level! Don't count them!" and I didn't count, but sort of did...  then because I was counting I missed the incredibly obvious hint that Lily was having a laugh on them all. They beat me again!

I had the same thought...she was talking frequently, which would have been a different voice & they talked about her ability inside the house when it had called out not exposing those in the house previously...I think it basically just said "twist was resolved, don't worry about consistency anymore"

For how the anime came this chapter was not so bad, obviously it does not mean that it was good, it was not not good, in fact from an objective point of view it was between meh and mediocre, Erna's story was quite the same, due to the little depth of This was useless, imagine and I hope that in the future they will detail more in the past of the characters although being so flat, giving them a past would not be entirely good, the chapter also had entertaining parts but nothing really good, everything was very meh and XD, like the other previous chapters, everything is very little built and argued, the only thing that I rescue is that at least several of the mediocre things are not very important for the story, since they are only details at least in this chapter

I liked this little arc of Erna's though it seems they forgor that they were supposed to pretend as if Erna didn't exist.

Also, it seems even the girls had an impostor among them so I guess now we know how the teacher was getting the best of 'em.

I loved the episode, it was practically the introduction of Erna in addition to seeing what the dynamics will be for the rest of the season; On the other hand, I liked seeing how they used other individuals to catch innocents (just like the US did in Latin America in the 80s xddd).

Finally we have intro and ending, they are very good.

The plot described was the first 3 episodes. At the base, the plot was great and the character designs with every member having a secret power holds a lot of potential, but instead the plot was rushed through. That leads us to episode 4, which focused on one character feeling like she wasn't part of the group and honestly it felt like a filler episode. My question is just: A filler episode of what? What is the point of this anime, now that the plot described on every platform is done. Was it just a background story for the team, are they embarking on a new mission, what is the purpose of the remaining 9 episodes? I had high hopes for this anime, considering I love animes like Release the Spyce, Assault Lily, Princess Principal and Lycoris Recoil. A group of highly trained girls, kicking ass, with an exciting storyline. But at this point I just feel underwhelmed. :(
