is the soundtrack in the time of 17:41 is the same as the one of One Piece when Whitebeard fought the Marine to rescue ACE?

Poor Youhei and Zero. The tavern girl is cute.

Youhei seems to discover that made him save the wolf guy and go back to the castle for a rescue mission.

It's gonna be a long week waiting. If its gonna be like that, might as well wait till the series is completed. My excitement is killing me.

Feel sad for Mercenary being alone now but hopefully not for long.

He has plenty of beastfallen abusing their power to beat up anyway so he has something to his frustrations out on.

I wonder if the girl at the inn he helperd was a witch? Same eye colour as Zero which doesn't mean anything but I wonder anyway.

Mr Wolf thought he was so clever, luckily he had useful info he was able to use as a get out of jail/death free card.

I really like how Zero got very pissed off at Thirteen for using those trick on Mercenary.

I was like damn, Zero takes bullets for Mercenary, shows how much she cares for him.

Zero's reaction still annoys me. She knows 13 would do something like that and it's perfectly reasonable that Youhei would doubt her since he's lived almost his entire life fighting Witches. I get that she's supposed to be kind of naive but her reaction just makes her seem like an illogical dunce when she's supposed to be the "smart" one.

this anime probably cant get a tv sequel. it sells really bad in japan. the 1st box is estimated to sell about four or five hundred copies. (2 BD&DVD boxes, 6 episodes in each.)
dengeki bunko has many novels yet to adapt. they wont spend money on something that cant sell well.

Maybe if the source sales get a jump they'd be ok with it? Either way I like this show, it doesn't do anything revolutionary but it's well put together and the world is interesting enough.

I find zero's method of protecting him to be quite crazy and despite her words last episode, she really was affected greatly by the loss of her mercenary. I guess her actions said a lot more than her words did here, transferring damage from him to her is quite insane.

My guess is that she has seen thirteen's handiwork so many times that it was better to let the mercenary go instead. Remember she confirmed in this episode that she KNOWS he is a fearful man, so she must also know the extent that thirteen's handiwork would have affected him.

no, the anime adaption has little to no boost to the original novel. we cant see old volumes back to best-sales, and the recent volume sells no better than before. (volume 9: 7992 in first ten days.)

Might be something that Zero put on him without him noticing. I can't really remember


Must have been when she was washing his back in one of the previous episodes. She was doing some circle thing with her finger.


Yep, it must have been done by her while washing his back at the beginning of episode 4. Totatlly forgot about that, but after seeing the scene again it's more than obvious.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable first half, not only did it give us another idea of how beastfallen are treated, but it was also a breath of fresh air from the constant drama rambling of Zero about "my mercenary this and my mercenary that" acting like they're best buds who've known each other for years, I'm so tired of her.

it seems that Zero still care about the mercenary.. She took the arrow instead :( It was probably because of the contract or maybe because in the last episode she told him that she put a curse on him...

Definitely the most interesting episode so far, with it becoming more and more clear just how much Zero cares about "her" Mercenary, what with that spell protecting him but damaging her instead. It was also interesting seeing Mercenary somewhat living up to his reputation in how he fought those witches, but it was also nice to see the other side of him at the bar dealing with those other Beastfallen.

I liked the tavern girl. Kinda reminded me of Zero. I feel bad for what happened to her mother. A horrible experience.

Zero still cares about the mercenary even going as far to put a spell on him to protect him. I hope he saves Zero really soon.

Seeing the mercenary going berserk was kinda scary. I don't like the fact that the beastfallen in the tavern girl's flashback looks a lot like the mercenary.

I'm glad the mercenary decided to save the wolf guy even though he's so annoying.


You could understand her desperation and need to manipulate Youhei's good nature and sense of honor. You can even understand their hatred of Beastfallen. With the brutal death of their mother, and the other beastfallen acting like thugs over their business.

Still feels shitty how much it hurt Youhei. I think she understood that in the end, when even after Youhei realized he was being used, he still threw out the thug beastfallen anyways.

But the way it played out. It was creepy. You almost felt that "Zero" openness vibe about Tavern Girl in the beginning at the liquor store. Like she was almost a Zero replacement character. Only to realize that she was being completely manipulative.

In the end, you hoped the tavern girl changed in some way; maybe she'll let go of her hate; and not turn on or manipulate every "nice" Beastfallen she meets.

I think that was a deliberate parallel to zero to enforce Youhei's belief that friendly humans generally have ulterior motives.

Devil is a part timer sold really well, though... And just because BD/DVD sales don't do well =/= no sequel. They can make money off merchandise and if the books sell well.

Wow,that was actually really damn good. Our mercenary just doesn't know what to believe or side with anymore, with people shunning beastfallen yet seeing how some of them act gives some reasons for that too. Some witches would go for his head, while some are simply persecuted. There are really no easy answers for someone like him who just wants to be a decent person. Tbh, he'd have it easier if he'd just chose a side and stick with it,yet I get that it's hard to do because every side will make one do pretty awful things. Also, him choosing a side would just make the show way less interesting :P

Good episode. Really like this series. Seems like one of those one-cour series that would get a season 2 announcement at the end for 2 seasons from now. Or at least I hope--I really have liked the pacing so far and think this has a lot of promise.

I think the only problem I have with the series so far is that it doesn't really tell us why Zero is so attached to Mercenary. It's rather circumstantial at this point: Zero has a pure mind, she finds Mercenary to be the same, and she likes his cooking and fur...But nothing really to the point where I think it makes sense at all for her to have bonded herself to Mercenary such that she would absorb all the damage he does? It seems especially inexplicable given that she is a rather rational person (emphasizing that she's out for her own gains) and between the two of them surely she knows that he should be the one to take up damage.

It would make sense if they shared some past or there's something else that gets revealed later. But at this point it seems a bit weird that Zero would be doing something that's akin to love.

are you really not paying attention to the subtle details? it's purely out of good will and curiosity. just as she wrote the grimoire.

Whew damn, I thought Yohei was gonna kill that witch girl at the end o.O

Was surprised to see Zero got hurt by the blood pact when Yohei was attacked, I thought they didn't fully complete that pact.

I feel like I haven't been paying attention. Has it been properly explained why Thirteen can match Zero? I'm aware they come from the same tribe, but I thought Zero was something special even in that group?

lots more characterization. Zero's naivete showing more, but still have a bond with Youhei, strange damage transfer magic or part of their contract? Cute tavern girl has that backstory & shows more distrust between people vs beasts, and Youhei feels just being used.

i bet that random girl magic user is traumatized by now, since she should have been dead already thanks to Youhei controlling his rage...
so Zero really made a contract with Youhei, if Youhei knew about this, he might go for a change of mind and go back to Zero.

Remember that bath scene where zero was washing mercenary's back? Zero drew some stuff on his back with her finger that looked like circles of some sort, that was her putting the spell on him
