| Finally at the Rust Mountains eh? Disasters that had been occurring in various places were found to be linked to the Rust Mountains in the Dwarf Kingdom. To uncover the truth, Will and Menel continued their investigation. One day, while the two were engaged in their daily training, a dwarf secretly watched them from the shadows. When Will asked if the dwarf was interested, the dwarf, in a timid manner, quickly fled. His name was Ru. Will really has deep empath for these dwarves. He genuinely shares in their suffering and distress. The dwarves appeared to have endured significant hardship since their departure from the mountain. Al, on the other hand, comes across as a genuinely kind individual. Now that we're at the Rust mountains, I assume the real arc begins. Seeing as that's the name of the season. |

| That backstory was emotional. Elderly people/characters crying always gets me. This was quite wholesome. Will feels a bit Mary Sue-ish right now tho, or is it just me? Not that I mind it too much. |

| Wouldnt be a proper fantasy adventure without a drawf. Not to mention the back story here. Reapiring the door while MC off chatting. This guy is more than meets the eye and I think MC noticied that. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Now the actual "Lord of the Rust Mountains" story has started |
| “Think not of your future or your past, just your current self. Think about the now and focus, then throw out your very identity” |
| And the story begun. Gotta listen to Wind Rose recent catalogs to hype myself up.  |

William adapted so well into this world that I almost forget this is an isekai story. He treats dwarf race with care and as the result, this episode is good even without any action scene, just dialogue, and a good voice actor to shout it with emotion that resonate the audience.
But it's kinda similar to the Hobbit trilogy?

| @phantomfandom author was clearly inspired by The Hobbit. But if you think of it, the whole similarity is only in general backstory and plot kicker "Dwarves got kicked from their kingdom by an evil dragon and now MC helps the last dwarven kings descendant to take it back". The actual plot and characters are differet. |

@Nachtwandler_21 what makes me think of the similarity is actually about the mountain. Rust Mountain vs. Lonely Mountain
| @phantomfandom but it's Rust Mountines (actually Iron ones before they got renamed), the whole range. |

| @Embient I don't mind him being a Mary Sue, he had incredible parents and doesn't want to fuck his current life like the one before, he's also a symbol of the country he serves he can't act like all dumb. |

DheCupidore said: Boring as hell, only forcing myself to watch this cause i watched season 1 but i dont even remember what made me watch that season either As a fan of the series, I didn't want to say it but yeah I agree with you lol. And I also feel the dialogues are way too excessively cheesy in the anime. |

| Are all dwarfs male or something? |

| Pretty obvious that Ru is a descendant of the king from the story the other guy told. Since he is calm and doesn't seem like a warrior. (When the king also had been described as someone into other stuff than fighting. Still he killed the demon messenger and fought back.) Also the other dwarves called him "young master". Looking forward to the travels and fights and exploring. With Menel's new powers and Ru growing stronger. Opening also seems to have shown a bigger party ... I guess they are going to hire a few other guys. But before that ... some talking with the prince and bishop and maybe more research. I wonder if the mage academy is still going to be important in the future episodes. It seemed pretty abandoned besides the old guy and I guess they would not show stuff without any real reason. |
| What an interesting protagonist. At the same time as he is kind and seems naive, he is determined and raises his sword without hesitation to massacre the cowardly and unjust, all while being humble without letting anyone step on his head. |
| Dwarves, Mountain, Dragon....I'm sure I've heard this somewhere before.its about time this series started progressing. Not much has happened so far. |
| This show is too slow and the MC does not match his stature. |

NGL, after Meneldor, even the addition of Ru to Wil's party just added even more BL vibes to this story.
I guess no one can escape Wil's charisma and charm.

| Menel looks like a girl. Plus there's almost no women on screen for more than 1-2 minutes. |
HellindiuM said: Menel looks like a girl. Plus there's almost no women on screen for more than 1-2 minutes. I was thinking the same thing, the show lacks decent female characters. it's also far too talkative for its own good, I find myself zoning out. |
| That was actually pretty sad. The dwarves reminded me of the dwarves from hobbit. Anyway another guy joined the party. I wonder if there'll be any girls at all. |
 |
| i almost fell sleep watching this episode ... so so boring AF !! |
| Maybe it is because english isn't my main language, but isn't "thane" the wrong word? As they talk about what Lou should do isn't "squire" the right word? |
| That dwarfs willingness at the end reminded me of myself when I was younger.. damn how could I let this world destroy my will so quickly. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Will learning about dwarven warriors from his guardians, and now the probable ones creating trouble in the Rust Mountains, and one of them happened to see Will and Menel's training so much that he ran away due to fear. But one of the last surviving members of the Iron Mountains, Agnarr's father Grendir, wants his kin to die a valiant death here in Torch Port, after fighting a valiant fight against demons, and also for the loyalty of their late king Aurvangr, which Grendir is grateful for. The dwarven helper named Ru, dispelling a dispute between drunkards, thankfully he's not all that bad, and even got a meal with William healing the owner's father. He too, who came from the Iron Mountains (like Grendir did), is provided renumerations with William's help by making him his thane, not knowing that he was the leader of his group which could have repercussions. Nevertheless, Ru wanting to become a valiant warrior, it shows in his determination, which William accepts and made it an oath. Be it as it may, Ru may not understand his life's importance now, but William will certainly gruel him to be one capable warrior. |

| That guy appears to be the descendant of that dwarf king. I'm sure Will will make him a worthy king, ready to lead after they clear out the Rusty Mountains from the demons. |
