The Knight had no reason to get too excited about the potential of the potato crop. She has not seen the yield, and anyway it is not her area of expertise to know much about farming. The only thing she could realistically comment on was the taste.

The hero already admits that he was deceived by merchants easily. You ought to make an argument that female knight would trust the stranger on the first sight.

The fact that Hero actually stayed with Crimson Scholar for three months after their initial contract points to otherwise compared to a one time thing with the merchants. Plus, he has already seen the results of Crimson Scholar's four crop rotation where in the beginning of the episode the villager's came to thank her personally as well. They even mention how the village elder's were surprised with the hinted potato chip.
Also Female Knight views Hero as a close friend rather than a War Hero. She even goes as far as to refuse the reward from Winter Nation because she thought it was wrong to profit over a friend's apparent death.

101 things can go wrong with introducing a new crop. Being cautiously optimistic is the right response until the claims are verified.

Leaving aside the potatoes for the moment...
I just had a realisation. The armour the hero is offered belong to a former demon king. I can't help but notice the helmet has built-in horns. This means that former demon king must ALSO be cranial-challenged and had to compensate with a pointy helm. It must be hard for demons born without horns to have to "enhance" themselves that way. It would be like wearing padding to make themselves look bigger.

Also, if you read the manga so far, many (if not majority) demon species/clans don't have "built-in" horns. So, I think saying the (artificial) horns are similar to a crown is more fitting.

Just finished watching the first three episodes back to back. Loving it so far, but it's going to take some getting used to referring to the characters by their professions and titles.
I like how the Hero is naive (and subject to manipulation as shown in episode 3), but also is a powerful warrior and is aware of his prowess in battle that he won't have much to do in a peaceful world. That armour looks awesome. Dark/evil armour almost always looks better than the light/heroic armour.. Off topic, but I have to ask, are the light novels available in English? Or is it just the manga that is? |
