| Yikes, this is why merchants who do shady business can't be trusted. Sarasa had every right to be concerned this episode especially when dealing with her business. I also do like how Sarasa approached her problem this episode. She's getting more experienced more everyday! |
 |
| Looks like the shady individuals made a appearance again but their plan failed seeing as the girls where on to them. Sarasa dealt with those bandits pretty easily, and in a good way since the other guy left with a loss. He got what he deserved tho. Anyway it seems that the girls will have to watch out from other people as well from time to time. |
| Good job, Sarasa! You handled the situation like a professional. But don't tease your friends with the brain freeze. That was a little mean thing to do. xD Lol at that Zorro look or whatever it is. |

| Well done Sarasa for sending that Merchant packing You never piss off Ms Sarasa |
| Do not mess with Ms Sarasa!!! I'm totally identifying with the blue haired girl. 'I got a bit worked up.' Yes, totally get it! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Don't be greedy merchant like him, you will lose every time. |
 |
| Ugh, this was probably the worst episode so far. Slow as molases storytelling, tons of infodumping, weekly reminder that Sarasa is an orphan thanks to bandits, cheap boob jokes, and contrived story that miraculously ties Sarasa's parents killers at her dispose. I didn't think there could be a worse CGDCT with fantasy setting than Average Abilities, but here we are. |

| Such a tragic episode we got here and thankfully, they ended it with this episode. It's like a single side-arc that was crammed in one episode... This episode gave me a frightening perspective while watching this. This made me again realize the difference of how much of a single person and a group of people can do. Thankfully, Sarasa wasn't alone and thanks to her hard work and effort with her fellow Alchemists, they put a stop to an evil plot that is on an evil spree. The thing about shaved ice was really hilarious, even if Sarasa's actions would be obvious already because of her grinning at the start of the show. She, of course, got yelled for that and was stunningly hilarious. Overall, a great 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. |
| What a great episode, one of my favorites so far for this series. To start, I knew as soon as I saw the mischievous grin on Sarasa's face when the girls were trying out shaved ice that she was going to have them suffer through brain freeze, haha. I'm glad that they revisited Sarasa's past with her parents being killed off by bandits since it bothered me there was no closure and while it may not be the same bandit group since she is now located far from where she grew up it was still great to see her take on the bandits personally, yeah don't mess with Sarasa! It's nice to see Sarasa being able to defend herself and take care of those around her. |
| Well, that's one way of utilizing your OP powers: to make shaved ice for everyone and getting a brainfreeze for someone being in town, leaning to the countryside for a tease. There's a greedy merchant in the village (Gree Dilly of the Dilly Company), and to make things worse, they're affiliated with bandits, which draws an ire with her. Given how Sarasa just kickstarted her business, it's a way of retaliation, and stating how part of Lorea's family was cut down by bandits, it's the same for Sarasa as well. Both Iris and Kate were definitely taken aback that Ophelia is her master, and a Master Class alchemist at that. Sarasa can joke all she wants, but she can't escape her reality, that's the truth. This is a classic business tactic between Sarasa and the merchant, and donning a suit as a means of disguise, both raking in stock and overcoming her past fears. "Building a honest business" as a motto, it's a form of respect from being a family child to an orphan, and Sarasa's growing each step every day. And through thorough investigations, Gree associated with bad company is a recipe for disaster, and while Sarasa almost fell into his trap as a novice, her forward plans at least did partial to help her business and taking care of bad company as a form of revenge and karma fills the rest. Nevertheless, Sarasa's antic play against Gree feels satisfying to deal with his karma of booting him out of the village. This whole episode is one lesson learnt: do not mess with Sarasa. |
 |
| This one seemed a little cramped/rushed. Not really sure how I feel about it and will need to take it in as a whole after the series has concluded. |
| What truly made the revenge perfect was that she made enough money from selling the fangs he had amassed to buy out all the loans and still be in the green. :D |
 |
| Bandits give up and beg for their lives, so she murders them and takes their money... like a bandit. 🙄 |
Marenwynn said: Bandits give up and beg for their lives, so she murders them and takes their money... like a bandit. 🙄 They only have themselves to blame for that. They initiated the fight and went for the kill and she replied in kind. |
| This has similar vibes to Leadale, especially the MC lol... |
| Sarasa's one scary businesswoman lol But Gree Dilly (what a name! lol but it fits the character to a freaking T!) sure got a taste of his own nasty medicine lol |

I didn't think there could be a worse CGDCT with fantasy setting than Average Abilities, but here we are. Agreed... it was boring and that boob joke was out of pocket, it didn't really even make sense in the context. I love this shot of Sarasa, though |
| The plot was interesting this time, a merchant named Gree Dilly trying to suffocate Sarasa financially and also attempting to harass her with bandits, it was definitely just attempted lol, Sarasa fucked those guys up. I know it was light on the violence but I’m pretty sure it was hinted that she killed those guys, and it does fit with Sarasa’s personality and backstory, they were super generic tho lol, that line where they said they “take things that don’t belong to them” got a laugh out of me, felt like I was watching Dora the Explorer. But Dilly’s scheme went under thanks to Sarasa and the help of that one alchemist, man could only scrounge up three coins for his acquired goods. It was also nice how Sarasa helped out the alchemists he forced to work for him, she made it out to be a scheme but that’s not really why she did it. Also Sarasa’s disguise was nice earlier in the episode even tho it wasn’t necessary at all lol, and the bit where she threatened to steal Kate and Iris’ booba was hilarious, it’s interesting to know you can make potions to give yourself a better figure in this world too. |
| never ever make sarasa mad lol stupid thugs (at least in anime) always the same thing, ganging up on people like that and then crying when they lose |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| she will take breasts from other girls? Good thing it's just a joke. xD anyway, liking how Sarasa is consistent when angered during a fight. I remember on the episode where a Grizzly threatened Lorea. She got mad and still killed the bear, even when the bear was already trying to run away. This time she killed bandits who already surrendered, because she got angry on the things they said. and that greedy merchant must have taken great financial loss from thousands of near worthless bat fangs.

| tough as nails on the inside, cute n cuddly on the outside! :> |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| Good to see that Sasara didn't let them go beat them up hard, very satisfying episode. |
 |
| Ya know... I kinda don't like Sarasa. I like that she's resourceful and such, but so much about her seems to rub me the wrong way. They kinda paint her as this person who's gone through rough times, has persevered, and deserves every win she gets. Yet for some reason, it doesn't feel all that satisfying dealing with her and she doesn't feel all that relatable for me. She makes mistakes sometimes, but it's kinda like she kinda just does well for the most part. The endings where they show her losses just kinda feel like it's a way to keep an illusion that she's a balanced character, but nothing about her feels balanced for me and she actually feels a little flat-- which is sad because I do actually like that she's got the whole kinda sinister, competent, yet resourceful side to her... yet she's still unlikable. I don't know how they've managed to do that. I think it just feels like, despite everything, it just feels like she's always right. |
| Sarasa is really an OP field warrior alchemist! those bandit thugs are like nothing to her rage! 5/5. |
 |
| Saras has a good head for business. |
| Annoying "merchant" really though he could scam and attack Sarasa's business like that, that's a well deserved counter attack against these thugs, problem cleared now ahaha |
 |
| And more Shaddy Merchant, Tho I wouldn't really call them "Greedy" as they're actually paying more to buy the frost fangs? (literally no scamming involved) and why the hell does a store have to discuss with another store before they can buy stuff from other people? THE FUCK?... (imagine if "Walmart" wants to buy/ sell something, they have to get approval from "Target"... LOL) And calling the people in Black Robes bandit simply cause of stereotyping since the dude followed them and the "bandits" didn't do anything but just leave peacefully... ok... get some more evidence before calling people guilty eh? (like at least see them commit a crime or something, cause I am pretty sure we saw Alchemists at the beginning of series wearing black robes too, lol) ___ ___ ___ Also... Ophelia (Master) is so famous... that somehow the girls didn't recognize her at first? huh? Nice Fans.... that doesn't even know who they're admiring... Then Sarasa has the flashback of her dead parents (multiple times) And Sarasa counters by raising the purchasing price, and the other Merchant also raise their price. What's interesting is Sarasa thinks the Merchant is targeting her cause the dude said "I have a lot of rivals and they seem to be having a tough time", cause the Merchant is buying up a lot of Frost Fangs... You think they're targets you? he might just be targeting any other store/ Market that's also buying Frost Fang, Sarasa's is just the one that's buying the most of it before... ___ ___ ___ And then we get more Murder... they're literally trying to Genocide the Frost Bats, since they're also killing off all the babies too. At this point, Sarasa is going CORPA trying to monopolize the Frostfang Market and making it so no other Merchant can buy and sell them, only Sarasa can... (the shaddy merchant isn't stopping anyone from buying, he's literally just buying at a higher price) And the shaddy merchant isn't all that shaddy, "he makes alchemists with debt work for him"... Isn't that what Sarasa did with Iris? LUUUL And messing with ingredients... by buying all the ingredients at a higher than market price... that's pretty much Real Life (Reversed) Scalping that's deemed Legal in most parts of the World... nothing Illegal going on here. (aka, gaming console Scalping, look it up) Since the shaddy merchants is buying at a higher price, but not selling at a higher price. ___ ___ ___ Tho Sarasa gets ambushed? (she ran right toward them, that's just standing in the middle of open field) by Bandits. And the shaddy merchant now wants to leave, but why... is she trying to sell the frostfang to Sarasa? I am pretty sure you can sell them at other towns/ cities too? huh... (could just travel farther to sell if the neighbor town is also low price...) And how did the shaddy merchant get a "debt"? I thought they said it was him getting other ppls a "debt"? (cause I am pretty sure the bandits aren't going to ask for money since they're jailed?) Also... if the price dropped, how the hell did Sarasa resell them back out for 8.5 million dollar? Doesn't this mean Sarasa is also doing Scalping? you being Shaddy too Sarasa? |
