We get a view of the queen, who is in a country with smokestacks and riflemen. First evidence of variability in the world. Also: Domino Mask spy group starts taking action. Also also: Queen is happy that Naofumi got a demi-human slave.
King and Mein continue to be assholes. Not entirely surprising, but petty in a comically evil sort of way.
Re-sealing Raphtalia. Annoying.
Naofumi unlocks a new shield — Slave User's Shield — however the subtitles don't translate any of the text, including requirements, possible new ability, and a second line under the initial unlock that's shown (+8/+8) that shows a (+13/+13) shield. If anyone can translate that stuff, it would be much appreciated.
Slave Dealer price quotes Raphtalia at 35 gold. On the one hand, a bit scummy. On the other hand, 35 gold to buy her, vs 15 gold to sell the werewolf, his previously most valuable slave (50 levels higher than Raphtalia). On the third hand, I'd almost see it as his way of complimenting her, without actual expectations that Naofumi would sell her — because honestly that would be a stupid expectation given what they just came back to his tent for. More like how friends can go over-the-top in ribbing each other, and this is how he expresses himself. He's pretty strange, anyway.
The watchtower in Lute was rebuilt awfully fast. But then, I guess it's pretty important in a world with monsters.
Filo/Dragon race: Silly. Definite shift in the tone of the series. Well, it's a light-hearted drift away from the seriousness of the previous episode, but still feels a bit too Scooby Doo-level antics.
Domino Masks are curbing Mein's activities. Hard to know what to think of them just yet.
