What is the deal with Iris’s father and Kate’s mother showing up? It becomes obvious why Iris is so careless.
Believe it or not, I find it odd that Kate’s and Iris’s parents came to Sarasa’s shop uninvited. Sure, Kate’s mother looks attractive, and Lorea believes it’s her first time seeing someone from a different race. But, apparently, their parents have serious matters regarding the village they manage.
You might wonder why Iris tends to get into risky situations. Apparently, she is part of a noble family, namely from the house of Lotze. Adelbert, Iris’s father, manages the house of Lotze and Kate’s mother, Caterina, works for him. But, of course, Iris downplays it as a knighthood with two villages.
Apparently, his two villages are facing some hardships thanks to crop failure. Sure, Adelbert was generous to help his people, but he spent all his wealth and eventually got into debt. So now, they cannot pay even the debt’s interest. Sarasa even considered not requiring Iris and Kate to pay off the debt, but they turned that down.
With the debt becoming due, someone offered them a loan in exchange for an arranged marriage. That means possibly giving up the rights to the land. I can see why Kate is so against it, given how close she is to Iris. That is despite Iris’s willingness to go along with it.
Once Adelbert revealed the guy’s name, Sarasa convinced him to reconsider. Also, who wants to marry that guy Sarasa had a run-in with. Yes, it’s Gree Dilly. Iris doesn’t want to deal with that guy, and Sarasa agrees. Also, it’s suspicious he made this offer, given that Sarasa drained a lot of money from him over the frost-bat fangs. Thankfully, Iris dodged the bullet, thanks to Sarasa. It’s good that Iris and Kate didn’t reveal Iris’s near-death experience, as they will become more worried.
A lady came to Sarasa in the second half, asking her to investigate something. It’s regarding the Hellflame bears, as the lady wants to ensure they are gone. It should give some clues regarding the cause behind the rampage. At least Sarasa got a lot of rare ingredients from this before they reached the mountain.
You might be wondering why the Hellflame bears rampaged. The lava lizard took all the flame stones they ate, given their toughness. However, the bears are no match against them since they breathe fire. Thankfully, Sarasa managed to defeat one effortlessly.
Sadly, Iris got into a risky situation and uncovered a horde of flame lizards. Thankfully, Sarasa defeats them all until an earthquake happens. The final boss in the final arc is finally here. Yes, it’s an actual salamander. Can Sarasa’s team manage to defeat it? We’ll find out in the last two episodes.
Kate’s mom is gorgeous.
Nice to learn Iris’ origin story and how Kate fit into it. They’re soulmates yo..
Very cool seeing recent events and antagonists are mostly connected.
Yes, Kate’s mother is great, but it’s good to learn more about Iris, which can explain her carelessness. Still, it’s good that Kate and Iris pairing lives another day. The boss battle should be interesting next time.
