Oh boy, that elf girl isn't afraid to get close to Red given that she is his former comrade. Yarandrala gives an elegant vibe with her look and personality tbh. The episode not only focused on her relationship with Red but also gave time with her and Rit.

And heh, we got some fan service in the waters. They're not afraid to give the girls their fun time.

It looks like Rit has a rival, Yarandrala. I thought she was a rival but instead got tka a bath together. Ruti has fight with a lot of orcs or goblins I don't care if it's clear that Rutin is too worried about them but Red and Yandarala are grateful for saving them.Red just doesn't want Ruti to do that again, demo her kindness, Still a boring seasonal spectacle, better watch Sekai Ansatsusha but yeah Ruti it's not a doll, really like that punch, lol.

That life-long contract is called marriage registration, Rit. LOL
The fan-service scenes from Rit and Yarandrala were very good.

Everytime I watch this, Red and Rit's relationship is getting better and better and I can't get enough of the two of them!!! So cute and cuddly and adorable!!! 😍😍😍
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.

These guys harassing Rit like that were really annoying, once again backstory parts and that elf girl is pretty good, she won't fall in love Red because she's an elf but it's perfect for Rit in this case... but eh, Ruti is a total yandere I guess? that was hardcore xD

Ares: "You're oniichan is gone but you have me."

Ruti: "WAN PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCH!"

Ahem.

Nice episode. Now we know why Rit is so open about her feelings.

Also, great to get inside Ruti's head for a change.

Humanizes her a little bit. She's still terrifying of course.

Seriously, if they created a super computer that was the BEST technology available but it's only job was to create a perfect Waifu, it would spit out Rit 10/10. She looks perfect, her personality is perfect, she's funny and sweet, and just a perfect character for Red and this anime. How happy would you guys be if you had a girl exactly like Rit as a girlfriend/wife? And not only that but she's a BADASS so she could protect your 🏠 and any children you end up having lmao. Seriously this show is WAY better than I thought it'd be, I thought it was just going to be a rom/com with A shop backdrop when I first saw it since "quiet life" was in the title. Stupid people trying to take them away from the shop, let them be! Lol

Man, seeing the hero blessing animated out is just depressing, it was bad enough reading it. The system of blessings and how they can really force the recipient to act is just messed up. Looking forward to future developments though.

Rit and Red are progressing nicely, as it should be, the idiots trying to interfere should just explode.

Ritt is so damn cute. Idk, I kinda like the high elf even more tho. Something sexy about her.

The ending scene shook me a little ngl. Was not expecting Rutti to literally bunch a whole thru this dude. Probably the darkest scene of the show so far.

Rit and Red are pretty basic characters. Their relationship isn't particularly deep, and a lot of the footing comes from events in the past we only barely got to see. But BUT, it's such a good relationship. It's a breath of fresh air compared to other anime relationships, where one character just simps for another, or they blush and stammer and nothing happens, or one is a tsundere who acts like an asshole because that's just their role. But Rit and Red genuinely feel like an actual couple, and you can see how it grows over time.

Anyway, just wanted to say that. For a show that heavily features a romance, actually making it believable, unique and enjoyable is a surprisingly uncommon feat.

Probably my favorite episode of this to date. So the adventurers and thieves guild want Rit back and they went to average lengths to get it done. However, the primary focus of this was definitely the backstory; we definitely needed more of that.

Ruti is a damn savage killing Ares in cold blood lmao. It's funny now but this behavior will be concerning for her inevitable reunion with Gideon/Red. She's all but confirmed to be overly attached to him, and I assume she won't respect his life decisions that don't include her.


5/5

A lot of things have happend in this episode but the most suprising one was the end for sure. Rit got some kind of rival, Yarandrala, who's a pretty high elve but sadly, she doesn't fall in love with humans so it's a big W for Rit. On the other hand, Ruti is some kind of brocon yandere girl. Gotta watch out for her.

Hmm considering Rit's rank within the guild a bigshot arriving to inquire about her sudden retirement was an eventuality. The fact that Rit has that much of an impact on the affairs of other groups shows well her strength at arms and the rep she worked hard to gain. Yarandrala was a pretty interesting character to bring into the narrative. The talk at the river though sure showed well why Red was so respected within the party. The insight into their shared past at the woods though did well to expand upon Ruti as well. Only when her brother is present will she show her softer side huh. Rits declaration sure was a bold one but i guess the simplicity of her current life is better than the stressful life of trying to live a life without messing up. Overall a nice mix of backstory and present situation that served to provide some nice expansion on Rit and Ruti's characters while laying the groundwork for future plots.

Great episode! Rit has entered a life contract with Red at his shop xD. Just get married already. I thought Yarandrala would be Rit’s rival but when they were bathing together she reveals she doesn’t love him and that Rit would be great for Red.

If you guys haven’t already, please check out the game released for this series called Slow living with princess on steam btw. Looking forward to the next episode!

Such a fulfilling episode. So much happened at a decent pace.
I was so happy that Yarandrala was a sexy wizened sage character rather than romantic rivals character - it worked out really well to find out Rit's true feelings.
Ruti knows. She f*cking knows. That backflash scene was so intense. I feel bad for her :( Duty first, hero :(

also ngl if they're gonna play the "MC was kicked out of the hero's party because he wasn't good enough" card they could at least show him not being up to standard instead of having him be like the 2nd best behind the hero lol

I didn't like this episode as much as the last one (which was probably my favorite of the five which have aired so far), because it was more plot-centric and focusing just on the overarching story told through flashbacks and the romance aspects.

I don't mind the flashbacks as used in this show, I think the main/central story is a good backdrop, and the romance adds some flavor, so no real major complaint, but I just don't like when it is the only and exclusive focus.

I think this show excels the best when it's more Slice of Life-oriented like its last episode rather than focusing too much on the Hero's Party and Red and Rit's past. Since they are decent, but not exceptionally well-developed compared to many similar series (since generic fantasy is a huge thing inside and outside of anime), so I'm really more into it for the more pure SoL episodes, atmosphere, and moments when it uses all of those elements as flavoring but doesn't try to put them front and center and stick too close to a narrative.

Still basically good/passable, but I wouldn't mind if the entire season and series was more like the previous episode. I don't mind if they alternate and strike a workable balance though.

Although I'm a sucker for even the brief Gideon/Red x Ruti moments in this episode.

Other than the below average animation and the sometimes lackluster direction, is not a bad adaption of the manga (idk about the LN) VA's other that Ares's are pretty good, character designs: some are better in the manga while others look better or as good as in the manga.
But boi... the animation is so stiff to a point where reading it is better since the art is more detailed.

The first episode was certainly enjoyable. It presented a protagonist who was just chilling in a remote village and gathered herbs and medicinal plants from nearby forests and mountains, with the dream of one day opening a pharmacy in the fantasy world he was living in.

A few episodes later, it's more or less the same, but the typical generic anime side definitely has begun to show and be more prominent than the things they are trying which are new, which as far as I can tell, is merely a laid-back mc. While opening up a pharmacy is definitely something we probably haven't seen before, everything else, we have. The mc LOOKS generic and his character isn't anything interesting either, other than, again, he's a chill guy who sells medicine in a medieval fantasy world. And then we have the big chested waifus who seem to only be there for the sake of having big chests.

I initially thought I was in for a good time if nothing else. I am gullible when it comes to simply glancing at the top reviews. If I see reviews only giving 7 and above, I'm quick to judge that despite the low-ish overall score of 7.15, that it really is indeed a good time.

I'll be leaving this anime at this episode, but I hope the rest of you who are enjoying it, continue to enjoy it. See you around

That ending. I don't know where does Ares' confidence of "You're weak Gideon" comes from when Ruti can just punch a hole into him. Everyone is weak as hell when compared to Ruti, and if it's just combat it looks like she'd be just as good on her own.

Welp, Rit has the backing of the guilds, because she's too powerful of an adventurer to be let go of with her life spent with Red. And most certainty they will not let go of each other in any circumstances, so persistent. Still though, this "lifetime employment" is like a marriage proposal between both Red and Rit but with an amber bracelet instead of a ring lols. Everybody from the Adventurers to the Thieves' Guilds wants her back, while Rit herelf is ecstatic about living life with Red.

The backstory of the Hero's Party though, is something else. Gideon (back then) was the Hero Party's strategy guy, and Rit was getting all jealous over the Dryad High Elf Yarandrala fawning all over Gideon while Ruti is her usual Heroic deredere younger sister self. Still though, other than some nice fanservice of Rit and Yarandrala, the latter though has seen much worse and can't support his burden much.

Rit can be threatened enough (as such with the likes of Dir), but seeing Red, she is done with the whole adventuring process. Ares certainly took a "One Punch" blow from Ruti trying to understand why Gideon just left the party, and what a scary imouto Hero at that.

Kinda of a lackluster episode trying to weigh a lot of things at once.

Holy fuck Ruti, she's really rut(i)hless, Ares deserved that though and much more, but Ruti really do be scary. Ares should have been the one to get banished, damn useless schemer. I noticed Dir that bald dude in the episode that tried to blackmail Ruti was also in that mercenary group Ares hired.

Goddamnit, where's my scissors right now. Rit dodged a bullet with competition there, lucky for her Yarandrala is an elf, I really like her though. She's the reason Rit lost the tsun and just became a dere, Godbless her. I hope to see more of Yarandrala later on, I wanna see her reaction to Red and Rit living together. God, just get married already and give me even more diabetes. Looking forward to the next episode.

yeah, uh, Ruti is broke-brained. which is a pretty interesting take on The Hero. Ares really done fucked up, and worse, she can kill him and put him back together as much as she wants, probably. It seems like Ruti isn't sure whether Gideon is even alive.

it's interesting and very plausible that Rit's retirement from adventuring throws everyone for a loop.


anyway, this show isn't great or anything, but it alternates between being cute and having mildly interesting backstory enough to keep me watching. also, OP so soothing. there's something to be said for watching extremely mid shows weekly.

Looks like Rit is more dead set to be with Red no matter what consequences happens and not even her princess privileges would sway her away from Red...
