Tani has been thinking about the kiss ever since their trip to the museum in last week’s episode. As a result, he’s even less talkative than usual. He’s even more awkward around her than usual. Sheesh. It was likely just a peck on the cheek. Even for a teenager, that’s kinda nothing. Kinda strange to me to be in a relationship and not talk about those kind of things with your girlfriend.

Even with his fancy niello wings, Genau still has to get up close and personal against a demon armed with four swords. Sure, the mage starts the fight off with a few projectiles, but what happened to the rest of his spells? Didn’t he nuke a demon a couple of episodes ago with a ranged attack? Meanwhile, Stark can’t keep up with Revolte, so he falls back on a familiar strategy: taking a direct hit to distract his opponent. In fact, he later invokes the same exact lesson that helped him overcome Linie back in season one. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Not because she’s an uber professional or anything, but because she’s an idol fan. Utage says it herself: her biggest priority is Tamon’s dream. She will not do anything that threatens that dream, i.e. fostering a personal friendship if not relationship with the guy of her dreams. More importantly, what Tamon personally wants is immaterial. He’s lonely? Suck it up, buttercup. I would feel bad for the guy, but he did threaten to kill himself earlier in the series in order to manipulate her. As a result, I’ve gone cold on this… this… whatever you call this “romance.”
