You don't wager bets with a pet or put her food in a wine glass. When he said date in the prologue, he looked in the area where Q was sitting with the wine glass.

They can also converse with their assets thru their cards so the amount of attachment depends on the entre.

So, he sexes the demon and earns profit.

I'd make a joke on how I'd like a job like that, but there are such jobs.

You're right. Stockbrokers and investors, contrary to popular belief, make a living upon the profits of extremely attractive assets. I would love to invest in Msyu... but something tells me she's already sold out.

[Used Can]

What a cheap... asset.

Those last two posts consisted of such fail humor, I think Charlie Sheen just got 5% funnier (which means he's now a total of 0% funny, as opposed to his previous -5%).

Aww lighten up on them. Econ humor generally fails. For example:

An economist and a magical economist enter into a cab together. The regular economist gets off first and the taxi driver tells him, "10 dollars."

The economist only has a twenty on him so he tells the taxi driver, "I'm going to flip a coin. Heads I give you twenty. Tails I pay you nothing." The coin lands heads. The driver is ecstatic because he just doubled his money. The economist is quite pleased too because he paid exactly what he expected.

The magical economist watching over this shakes his head and chuckles softly to himself. "Such rudimentary methods. I think I'm getting off too," he says. "10 dollars then" the taxi driver retorts, eyes gleaming that the magical economist will pull the same money stunt.

Much to the taxi driver's confusion and dismay the magical economist pulls out an unmarked, black paper bill. "What the hell is this? You trying to be funny?" the taxi driver angrily spits at the magical economist.

A little offended, the magical economist shakes his head and sighs. "Sir, assume that this is a 10 dollar bill...."

I hope this gets as many laughs as it deserves. Namely none.

By the time magical economist decided to get off I was pretty sure he's gonna say: "The first guy already paid for me" or something like that

Oh my, I could never make the joke like that. That would actually make it good.

I've got another one for you guys:

A priest, a philosopher, an economist, and a magical economist run across a strangely cute, white creature.

The white creature exclaims, "Contract with me and I'll give you one wish AND make you magical!"

The priest incredulously replies, "What blasphemy is this? I could certainly do without the magic, but if you can create miracles as you claim I would much like to see world peace come about!" The white creature happily complies and news soon spreads that all world conflict had suddenly come to a halt. The priest, shocked at the apparent godly nature of the creature, falls into questioning despair over his faith.

The philosopher, quite impressed by the results, asks, "My wish may be less noble, but could you possibly grant me all worldly knowledge?" The white creature flicks its tail wildly, happy that so many individuals are taking the bait. Moments later, the philosopher's eyes widen and he proclaims, "My god, Berkeley's idealism was right all along!" The philosopher then promptly fell to his knees now knowing full well that the world he once knew isn't what he thought it was.

The economist, seeing the effects of the previous two wishes, thoughtfully takes his time deciding his wish. After some contemplation, the economist says, "You know having more than two hands would be quite convenient." The white creature's face almost looks as if it is about to contort into some kind of state of confusion. "More than two hands, you say?" slowly asks the weird, little creature. "Ah perhaps this is beyond your powers, but I think it would be most prudent," retorts the economist. The creature, deeply perturbed by the strangeness of human society, grants the economist's wish and watches as the man grotesquely sprouts countless hands from his body.

Finally the little, white creature turns to the magical economist who, watching over the curious scene unfolding before his eyes, wore a slightly bemused expression on his face. The white creature, almost exasperatedly, asks, "And what will your ill-fated wish be?" The magical economist, a little surprised at the question, responds with a smirk, "Oh, you have nothing to offer me, but I would like to propose a counteroffer. How would you like to become a magical economist?"

And I think I'm tapped dry this very early morning concerning anime econ jokes.

Had it been Reagan, he'd have reduced economists' hands by one.

Huzzah! Episode 3 was pretty good minus the lollipop talk that annoyed the heck out of me for some reason.

Forced English and English matched to the wrong body type were the other punches to the stomach.

In preview to the next episode:

Spoiler for Episode 3 and 4:

[SquirrelLuvsPnut]

Mashu was adowable when she did that double take!!!
I hope that Masakaki turns out to be a deeper character rather then just the obligatory enigmatic creepy dude.
And whoah, it didn't take long for the users on Pixiv to read into Masakaki's eagerness to serve Mikuni.

[Tsuyukusa]

That Engrish, my god... haha.

Looks like she's a replacement little sister.

That wolf asset was pretty cute. (And so was its entrepreneur, though... what's with her voice?)

Who's that guy Kimimaro's going to fight? Seems familiar.

It's his professor.

Oh well, if he got a bad grade in the course, it's payback time.

You'd think that because of the height and the nodding off. But I suspect it's an act to throw MC and Mashu off. The other entre with the wolf was saying that Souichiro was trying to get MC on his side.

[Kanon]

Spoiler for episode 3:

So that woman is an investigator. It's suspicious that she was invinted to the financial district. This is most likely Mikuni's doing.

Seems like Kimimaro's daddy issues have more or less been solved already. I expected that to drag on a bit longer. I kind of thought Mikuni was going to turn out to be his dad too, but that would have been a lame twist so it's good they didn't go that way.

The wolf asset was pretty cool. Sleepy Q was cute. It's a shame Msyu couldn't manage to find an opportunity to talk to her.

i must say the engrish is awesome one of the better engrish i heard in anime

That was pretty horrible. Have definitely heard better than that .

When was the lesson of using assets in magical battles to gain profit ? I was really struggling to place that guy for a while there. Maybe could lead to "give me A's for the rest of the year and I don't bankrupt you" .

[Anh_Minh]

Or something more troubling like "I have to bankrupt him or fail his class."
