This season has had at least two monarchs that seem to have the best interest of our isekai’ed protagonists in mind, this series and Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic. It’s nice to see monarchs in fantasy not exclusively be portrayed as mustache twirling evil.
We get to meet Eleanora this episode, the character that seems much more fit for a Villainess role than our quiet, stoic Yumiella. However her head is too full of thoughts of the prince to worry about things like that. Hopefully, after meeting her, the ED makes a bit more sense for people that were confused over why this unknown character seemed to be singing a love song. It seems as though Yumiella has unwittingly made a friend in Eleanora.
Also, I don’t know why I hadn’t really checked this before, but Yumiella is voiced by Ai Fairouz, who you might know from previous roles such as Delta (Eminence in Shadow), Power (Chainsaw Man), or Hibiki (How Heavy are the Dumbbells You Lift?). I was surprised because, to my ear, Yumiella sounds nothing like those characters. Some great VA work!
Edit: I just want to add that the OP for this show has really grown on me. I wouldn’t say it is my favorite I have heard so far this season, but it is on my shortlist that I don’t mind listening to at the start of each episode.
