I'm not the biggest fan of Norn, but considering the author's supernatural ability to make me love characters in 0.2 seconds, I doubt that'll remain the case.
Very important thing to share with Kyle! Aisha hands Rudy the chest, he instantly makes an earth magic key to open it before Aisha manages to get the keys out for him, she looks at him like, uh, wow, then Rudy notices the keys and says, oh, thanks! lol
I like how in the LN the Lina and presena situation happened as a consequence of Rudeus showing them the holy relic, wish they could have added that tidbit in the episode.
I loveeee the family dynamics of Mushoku. Like the sisters really came with some baggage, all because of their upbriging. Aisha, being the half-sister and literally forcefully trained to be a genius maid from an early age. Norn, surrounded by geniuses, always underestimated and insulted by Aisha, ripped away from her mother, then her father, then the last man she could trust (Ruijerd), and forced into a situation where she needed to play house with her brother whom she feared and hated. Oh boy, can't wait for next episode.
I never understood Lilia as a character and especially as a mother and I just realized Lilia is basically the stereotypical strict asian parent. Except instead of caring about academics she grooms Aisha to be a maid.
In medieval society, children were commonly trained to continue the family trade, which is why Smith, Thatcher, Baker, and Potter are so normal and common. Their families used to BE those things. Lillia training Aisha to be a maid would be normal. Not to worship Rudeus, but to be a maid, very normal.
@@thomasboyles9773 I guess there's that as well. But the fact Lilia was so strongly opposed to Norn and Aisha being raised the same way always felt jarring to me.
Lilia is such a great character in my eyes because while there's plenty she succeeds at as a mother, there's also plenty she fails at too. She's pretty directly responsible for a lot of the baggage Aisha carries throughout her life
