Tida speaks a bit like Shaula in the scene. I wonder if the VA is fresh off watching Re:Zero.

The direction is so terrible. It’s the reverse of ‘show, don’t tell’; they dump all the plot through dialogue that feels totally uncalled-for.

When Keigetsu pulls the “I think it might be contagious” (うつる病のような気がします) card to get the maids to back off, it’s framed as a hilarious, desperate lie to escape the “hell training.”

But notice how the maids don’t instantly attribute these symptoms to her baseline chronic illness shows that Keigetsu’s claim is actually highly plausible. It implies that catching a cold or other secondary infections is a regular occurrence the maids are already used to dealing with.

Given her persistent fevers and coughing fits, Reirin’s baseline condition behaves exactly like an immunocompromised, autoimmune disorder. Because her defenses are always down, she is the perfect target for everyday bugs; meaning she likely becomes a walking contagion hazard to her staff on a regular basis.

Good one, IMHO.

Are the firefly worms a censor of some sort?

Doesn’t look like worms most of the time tho.

For those who forgot about the rose already, check episode 1 where they explain it around the 20-minute mark.

Also relevant in the same episode:

• Alicia’s age is seven when she first noticed she got isekaied.
• Alicia’s mom briefly mentioned the rose.

Oh no, we are heading to the opening scene of episode 1.

Surprisingly, this magic-dominant world is microbe-aware as we see the lunch lady wearing a mask.
